RWB2Y White:The Investigation
Chapter 1:Best Day Ever
In the city of Vale, an old shopkeeper is re-opening his store 'From Dust Till Dawn.' As he finished putting up the banner, he tries to climb down the ladder, but he stumbles and falls. As he looked up, he noticed a girl with green hair standing before him.
"Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here," she said, helping him up. As he got up, she showed him a paper and asked "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?" He nods in agreement. As the girl walks away, she passes a boy around a corner.
"I knew you were lost," he said, grinning.
She turned back around, showing him a wallet, and says "Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up."
"That's not your money."
"But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence."
"Mmmmm... no deal."
The girl glared at him and said "Fine." She grabs the Lien, and tossed the wallet away.
As she walked away, Mercury said "Whatever. You want me." As they walked through the city, Mercury asked "So, how much farther?"
"A few blocks," the girl answered.
"Ugh... this place is so dull."
"Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture..."
"And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket."
"That's every city," she stated, while stopping.
Mercury turned to the girl saying "Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!" Emerald glares at him again, and continues walking. "Ugh... you're no fun today." As they walked, they reached their destination, a bookshop call 'Tukson's Book trade.'
A man, named Tukson, was gathering books very quickly. After he found all he could find, he placed them on a table, and told his associate "That's all I can find. I'm sorry."
The man put his hand on his shoulder and said "It's alright, friend, you did good."
As the man put the books into a bag, Tukson asked "So…you're The Assassin?" The hooded man turned to him. "I thought you'd be taller."
"Do not judge a person by their looks, Tukson."
"So, do you have them?" The man picked through his pockets and pulled out two tickets.
"Two tickets out of Vale, as promised." As Tukson took them, he said "Thank you. I hope we meet each other can."
"Me too." Then, they both heard the front doors open.
"Be right there," Tukson yelled. He picked up a stack of books and said "Even though I'm leaving, I still have a business. So long friend."
Emerald and Mercury quietly waited for the owner to arrive. Finally, he came through the back doors saying "Welcome to "Tukson's Book Trade," home to every book under the sun!" He set the stack down, continuing "How may I..." he gasps as he recognized the boy and girl. "How may I help you?"
Mercury said "Just browsing." Then, he shut his books.
Boom.
Emerald then asked "Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"?"
"Yes we do."
"That's great."
After she said nothing else, Tukson asked "Would you... like a copy?"
"No, just wondering."
Boom.
"Oh, oh! What about "Violet's Garden"? In paperback?"
"He's got it," Mercury shouted. "Hardback too."
"Ooh, options are nice."
"Eh, no pictures."
Boom.
"Hey! Do you have any comics," he asked.
"Near the front."
Then, Emerald said "Oh, no, wait! What…about… 'Third Crusade?'"
"Um…I…don't believe we carry that one."
Boom.
"Oh."
"What was this place called again," Emerald asked.
"Tukson's Book Trade."
"And you're Tukson?"
"That's right."
"So, then I take it you're the one that came up with the catchphrase?"
"Yes."
"And, what was it again," Mercury asked.
"Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun."
"Except Third Crusade."
"It's just a catchphrase," Tukson muttered.
"It's false advertising!"
"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson," Emerald said, as Mercury activated a switch to darken the windows.
"I hear that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo. Your brothers in the White Fang won't be happy to hear that. And neither are we...
"You know who we are, don't you?"
"Yes," Tukson replied.
"And you know why we're here?"
"Yes."
"So…are you going to fight back?"
After a few moments of silence, Tukson shouted "Yes!" He then produces claws from his fingers and jumps at Emerald. She dodge it, however, and flies at Mercury. The gray haired boy raised his foot up, and kicked him with his shotgun-greaves. Boom. Tukson fell to the floor, dead silent. As they were about to leave, they heard a voice.
"You've killed an innocent." From the shadows came The Assassin. "Prepare to die." He brought out Kaos and started to attack them.
He made Mercury fly back, and looked at Emerald, who was trying to look innocent, as she said "You wouldn't hurt a girl, now would you?" As Mercury got up, Emerald landed near him.
"We need to leave,now," he said. Nodding in agreement, they both went out the back door. As they left, The Assassin contacted the police.
"911, what is your emergency?"
"There's been a murder at Tukson's Book Trade. Get here, quick." Before they could respond, The Assassin hanged up, and picked up one of Mercury's shotgun-greaves. "This could work…"
Outside and away from the area, Emerald said "We need to be more careful next time." As they walked, Mercury was reading an X-Ray and Vav comic. "What's with that?"
"I like the pictures."
At Beacon Academy, Blake Belladonna was looking at her personal notebook, which had sketches and notes of the White Fang.
As she was looking it over, Yang Xiao Long, her partner, slid next to her and asked "Whatcha doing?"
"Nothing. Just going over notes from last semester," she answered.
As Yang catches a grape in her mouth, she says "Lame." She looks over to see Team JNPR. Their hyper member, Nora Valkyrie, was using a spoon to launch grapes at Yang, while Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, or Ren, and Pyrrha Nikos were eating. After a while, another member of RWB2Y came and sat down next to Weiss Schnee.
"Bill," Weiss said, hugging the boy.
"Hey, Snow Angel," Bill Auditore replied, hugging back.
"So…you guys are finally together," Yang asked, grinning.
"Yang, don't spoil the moment."
"Alright, alright. You love birds can have the whole room to yourselves later."
"She ruined it," Weiss said, releasing Bill and siting back down. Then, she asked "Where were you this morning?"
"In Vale, just enjoying the sights."
"Well…good to see you." They were silent once more, as someone dropped a giant binder, labeled 'Best Day Ever Activities,' on their table. They looked up to see their young leader, Ruby Rose.
She cleared her throat and said "Sisters…brother…friends…Weiss."
"Hey!"
"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream."
"This ought to be good," Yang replied, catching another berry in her mouth.
Ruby continued "A dream that one day, the five of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has had…ever!"
"Did you steal my binder," Weiss angrily asked.
"I am not a crook."
"What are you talking about," Blake asked.
"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!"
Then, her sister replied "I always kick my semesters off with a Yang! Eh? Guys? Am I right?"
"God dammit, Yang," Bill shouted. Then, an apple was tossed at Yang.
"Boooooooooooooo," Nora yelled.
Then, Ruby said "Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today."
"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store," Weiss replied, as Yang threw an apple at Nora.
Blake then said "I don't know. I think I might sit this one out."
"Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it at a team!"
As she got up, Nora yelled "I got it!"
"I for one think that-!"
She was interrupted as a pie landed on her face. All of RWB2Y turn to see JNPR all surprised and scared, and Nora pointing to Ren. Some of the pie had landed on Bill, as he used his finger to wipe it off, and taste it.
"Hmm…blueberry? My favorite." "He then turned to Weiss, who was looking more angry as usual. "Uh…you want some payback, don't you," he asked. She simply nodded, picking up an apple. "Ruby, we may have to postpone some of those activities."
"Man, that's harsh."
"I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super-fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome."
"Nice!"
"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus." Realizing his mistake, Sun Wukong told his friend, Neptune Vasilias "But that's a secret, okay?"
"Got it," Neptune replied.
"And not a "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back" secret. I'm talking about secret secret."
"Whoa, chill out man, okay? I got it. I got it."
"You better. I just don't want to screw this up, you know?" As they were talking, food was being thrown in the cafeteria, and a certain blonde boy. Sun continued, not noticing what happening inside. "The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys."
"None taken." Then, they arrived at the cafeteria's doors. "They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So, be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?"
"Dude," Neptune replied, smiling.
"Good point."
As they enter, they saw all the Beacon students leaving quickly, while screaming "FOOD FIGHT!" Then, they both hear laughing.
Nora was on top of a tower of stack of tables, sing-songing "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"
Ruby, on the other side of the cafeteria, yells "Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful! It will be DELICIOUS!"
WBY yells "Yeah," as Bill screams "Delicious justice!"
Nora jumps of the tower yelling "Off with their heads!"
She started to throw watermelons at them, as Ruby yelled to her sister "Yang! Turkey!" Knowing what Ruby had in mind, Yang rolls over to the turkeys and stuck her fist inside them. Then, she started to block the incoming watermelon. As she was blocking, Blake leaps in front of her and picked up two baguettes. Yang then threw the turkeys at Pyrrha, who dodged it, and let Jaune take the hits.
She picked up a baguette and dueled with Blake. Despite Blake's attempt to disorient Pyrrha with her shadows, Pyrrha knocks her back and throws three more baguettes to Yang, with the last knocking her down as well. Ruby uses a food tray to slide towards Pyrrha across the table and hits a baguette back at her with the same tray. Pyrrha manages to dodge the shot, but is unable to stop Ruby from knocking her backwards with the same food tray. Ren and Nora then charge at Ruby, but Weiss intercepted them and used ketchup to cause Ren to slip and crash into a group tables which are launched because of the impact.
As he gets back up, Bill attacked Ren with a baguette. He dodged it, and started to throw doughnuts at him. After using the baguette to block the attack, he swung it at Ren, making him fly back into Jaune. As he finished, he saw Nora jump up and grabbed a metal pole. As she landed, she attached a watermelon to the pole, and attacked Weiss. But, Ruby to decided to take the hit, making her fly back. Weiss then grabbed a sword fish and engaged Nora one-on-one, but ended up being defeated.
As she was thrown into a pillar, Ruby caught her before she fell to ground, shouting "Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me! Noo!" As she screamed, Yang picked up two more turkeys, and went after Ren, who used a pair of leaks as his weapon of choice. She tried to kick his face, but he blocked it with the leaks. With her leg up high, her eyes widened.
'Wait a minute,' she thought. 'I'm wearing a skirt.' She looked at Ren, who was blushing, and started to blush as well. Then, she started to punch Ren with the turkeys. Ren is hit with an uppercut, and brought down as Yang did one final punch. Nora intervenes immediately afterwards and sends Yang flying through the roof with her hammer but destroys the weapon in the process.
Blake and Bill back up from the debris and got their second weapon. Blake went for a link of sausage, while Bill grabbed a bunch of apples, and started to throw them at Nora. Blake whips it at Nora, which makes her fly against two soda machines. This leak some soda cans that Nora throws at Blake and Bill, who both manages to dodge them all. Pyrrha then uses her semblance of polarity on the puddle of soda, causing all the soda cans on it to rise after Blake and Bill, barraging them with soda. They both fell to the wall, and dropped to the floor.
"Well, we're out," Bill painfully said. He then looked at Blake, fallen in a pile of soda cans. "Hey, pass me a grape soda, please." Without getting up, Blake passed him a soda. "Thanks." He then uncapped it and started to drink. After taking a sip, he watched the battle resume. Ruby, the last remaining member of RWB2Y, then used her semblance of speed to dash through the food court, causing everything to follow her through the tailwind caused by her overwhelming speed. She spins like a torpedo, creating a hurricane of food that come backs at JNPR, knocking all four members out. She made all of JNPR slam into a cracked wall, making them all be painted with food. They then slid off the wall, leaving only their outlines.
Sun, still near the door and still clean, then said "I love these guys." He then turned to Neptune, who was drenched with soda, and not pleased. The doors open behind them, with a very angry Glynda Goodwitch following. She then used her weapon, a Riding Crop, to rearrange the cafeteria in its normal way. After she finished, she calmly said
"Children please. Do not play with your food." As the two teams sat at opposite tables, Nora burped loudly, making every one jump. Then, Bill looked up, and slowly pulled Weiss back.
"What are you-?"
"Just trust me." As he pulled her back, Yang comes falling down, screaming, and crashes to the floor. After she did, all of RWB2Y started laughing. Glynda grumbled, as she felt a hand on her shoulder, followed by a voice.
"Let it go." She looked and saw it was Ozpin.
"They're supposed to be the defenders of the world," she said, sighing.
"And they will be, but right now they're still children. So why not let them play the part?" He started to exit the cafeteria, saying "After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever."
As they both left, Sun said "Did you hear what he said?"
"Nope," Neptune replied.
"You still want to meet them?" Neptune was thinking for a moment. He could still look cool, even if he was dirty. Then, his eyes widened as he saw her. A beautiful girl, with white hair. "Maybe later," he said. "I mean, they have to clean up, and so do I."
"Ok, let's go."
They left, as Ruby yelled to JNPR "Hey guys, great fight!"
"Yeah, too bad we lost," Jaune replied.
"Don't worry; you'll get us next time!"
As she said that, everyone yelled "NO!
Emerald and Mercury arrived at their hideout, which was full of White Fang members and Dust containers. They went over to a man with a black bowler hat, and a cane. Roman Torchwick turned around to see them.
"Oh, look! She sent the kids again," he said, as he wrapped the two around his arms. "This turning out just like the divorce!"
Emerald shivers in disgust, saying "Spare us the thought of you procreating."
"That was a joke." He then pulled out a familiar piece of paper. "And this…just might tell me where you have been all day." Emerald eye's widened.
"What!? Agh…"
"I'm a professional, sweetheart. Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something." He looked at the paper, and angrily asked "Why do you have this address?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Yeah, I would. Now where have you been all day?"
"Cleaning up your problems," Mercury said. "One of them, at least."
Roman angrily said "I had that under control."
"Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise."
"Listen, you little punk. "If it were up to me, then I would take you and your little street rat friend here and-!"
"Do what, Roman." They all looked up to see woman in red on a platform. She walked to an automated lift, riding it to their level.
Roman laughed nervously and said "I'd, uh…not kill them?"
Emerald then shouted "Cinder!"
Cinder Fall walked up to the man, passing Emerald who wanted a hug, saying "I thought I made it clear that you would eliminate the would-be runaway."
"I was going to-"
"He was going to escape to Vacuo," Emerald interrupted. "Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat."
"I think he was some sort of cat, actually," Mercury said.
"What? Like a puma?"
"Yeah, there ya go."
"Quiet," Cinder ordered. "Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?" As she spoke, Roman started to laugh in agreement.
"I just thought-"
"Don't think…obey," Cinder said, as Roman used his fingers to mimic having a slit throat.
"Yes ma'am. It won't happen again."
Then, Cinder said "And if it does…try not to get beat up."
"We didn't get beat up," Mercury said.
"Your long lost shotgun says otherwise." She pointed down, to see one shotgun-greave gone.
"Man! I just cleaned that one!"
"Who was it," she asked.
"It was…a guy in a hood."
"Looks like you guys had to deal with The Assassin," Roman said, chuckling.
Then she turned to Roman, saying "And you. Why wasn't this job done sooner?"
He then began pointing at the Dust containers, saying "Uh…? Eh..?Ehh..? EHHHHHHH! Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the Kingdom!"
"You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask," Mercury said, as Emerald laughed.
"Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared! Police camping out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're sitting pretty on an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with! Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand master plan, it might make my next string of robberies go a little smoother!"
Cinder went up to him, placed her hand on his face, and said "Oh, Roman. Have a little faith. You'll know what you need when you need to know it." Roman seemed entranced, but looked away with a grunt. "Besides, we're done with Dust," she said, walking away with Mercury and Emerald following.
"O-okay, then what now," Roman asked.
"We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight."
"Coordinates?"
"We're proceeding to phase two." As the three walked away, Roman pulled out a cigar, and searched through his pockets for his lighter, but he couldn't find it. He then looked up to see Emerald with his lighter sticking her tongue out. She then closed it and walked away.
There's a point where it tips,
There's a point where it breaks,
There's a point where it bends,
And a point we just can't take,
Anymore.
There's a line that we'll cross,
And there's no return;
There's a time and a place;
No bridges left to burn,
Anymore.
We can't just wait with lives at stake,
Until they think we're ready.
Our enemies are gathering,
The storm is growing deadly.
Now it's time to say goodbye,
To the things we loved,
And the innocence of youth.
How the time seemed to fly,
From our carefree lives,
And the solitude and peace we always knew.
Hey guys, I'm back with Part 2 out of 13. So, what I think I'll be doing now is write the chapters first, and release them every other week. That way, it'll be quicker for me to not think about it. Review please, I would like to know what you guys think of this story.
