Hello, fanfiction! I have come to bring you another story! Now that I have one story under my belt, I hope I can do another one just as good, if not better. Before I get to it, I want to introduce you to my new OC. I'll keep this brief, last time, I got some crap about my OC introduction being too long.
Name: Petey Lucenay
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5'7" (5 inches taller than Ruby)
Weapon: A long handled peasant flail. A staff connected by a chain to a spiked club-like striking end. The chain can extend up to 10 feet, and the staff doubles as a standard semi-automatic rifle. I have yet to think of a name for it, so if you have a suggestion, leave it in a review or a PM.
Semblance: Superhuman jumping ability. He can leap over 500 feet in the air, as well as leap off multiple surfaces in a row.
Appearance: He is lean, is neither muscular nor chubby. He has a black ring tattooed around his left eye. He wears a baseball cap most of the time. He also wears a sling on his back to cradle the spiked part of his weapon.
Personality: Studious, calm, well read, and tends to speak eloquently. But in prolonged combat, tends to lose self control and fight viciously.
Other notes: I decided to name him after my pet dog, who in turn, we named after the dog from an old TV show called The Little Rascals. His last name comes from Lt. Harry Lucenay, the trainer/owner of the original Petey.
With that out of the way, let's get it started in here!
RWBY © Rooster Teeth/Monty Oum (R.I.P)
*set 12 years before RWBY volume 1*
*Ruby's P.O.V*
"Mommy!"
"Yes Ruby, dear, what is it?"
"Can 'ou pway wit me?"
My mommy is da bestest mommy in da world! She makes da bestest cookies and is so nice and sweet. I like it when she plays wit me!
"I'm afraid not, Ruby. I'm… busy studying Grimm."
Awww. I hates it when mommy is busy wit da Grimm.
" Why don't you play with your sister, Yang? If you go now, I'll make you some cookies after dinner."
Yummy! Cookies! I want cookies!
"'K, mommy. I wuv 'ou!"
"I know, Ruby. I know."
"I wuv 'ou, vewy muc…"
*Bell ringing*
Huh? What? What happened, where am I? Oh, I'm in Oobleck's class. I must have fallen asleep again. Oops. At least I'm not the only one. Yang seems to be just waking up as well. At least I had another pretty dream. I miss mom, I really do. Hopefully I can be a great huntress like she was.
"And that concludes this lecture on the Faunus War. Please enjoy the rest of you day, students. Mr. Arc, Mr. Winchester, don't forget that I would like to speak with you both."
I wonder what Jaune and Cardin did earlier. Maybe falling asleep wasn't the best idea in the world. Maybe…
*crash*
"OW!"
Who did I crash into? Oh I hope it wasn't Weiss. I cant take another round of her being crabby. I still don't think she's really done being upset that I was chosen as leader of Team RWBY.
"I'm so sorry! I was not paying attention to where I was going. May I assist you?"
That doesn't sound like Weiss. It sounds like, a boy.
"Uh, sure. Thanks."
He seems nice. And friendly.
"Thank you mister… uhh."
"Oh, forgive me, for not introducing myself, Madame. I am Petey Lucenay. First year student and leader of team PRTI (A/N: Pronounced 'party'). It's a pleasure to meet you."
He also seems polite. I like that, I don't see that in a guy too much. At least not here in Beacon. A lot of the guys are big jerk faces! I'm looking at you, Cardin, you bully!
"Now tell me, whom do I have the pleasure of speaking to?"
Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet! How silly of me! Whoopies.
"Oh, um, sorry. I'm Ruby Rose. Also a first year, and leader of Team RWBY."
"Forgive me for saying so, Miss Rose, but aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon Academy?"
Why do I always get these kind of comments? Is it so hard to believe that someone could skip a couple years and get into Beacon this early?
"Well, Ozpin let me in 2 years early, because I'm just that awesome!"
"Really now? You must have exceptional skill to have advanced 2 whole years. I hope to see that skill of yours some day soon, Miss Rose."
I wonder why he thinks he needs to be so formal, Maybe that's how his parents raised him.
"You can just call me Ruby, Y'know, if you want."
Why do I feel so shy? I never was good at meeting new people, but now, I feel even more awkward than usual.
"Very well then, Ruby. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I hope that we may converse again on a later day. But for now, I must return to my team dorm. Farewell, Ruby."
*Petey's P.O.V*
What a charming young woman. I feel as though she is quite shy, sadly. Must be poor social skills. Poor thing. I hope that her time here shall cure her of her shyness. No matter, I'm sure that she shall find a way to cope as her time at Beacon goes on. She must have considerable skill, if Ozpin elected her leader of her team.
*the next day, combat class*
Ah, my favorite class, Professor Goodwitch's combat training class. It pleases me to see others hone their skills as future huntsman and huntresses. I wonder who shall be called upon today.
"Alright, class, today's combatants shall be… Petey Lucenay and… Ruby Rose."
Is it my day? It would appear so. And I also get to see how my new companion, Ruby fairs in battle.
"Hello again, Ruby. Are you ready to lose a fight?"
"In your dreams, Petey."
She has spirit, I will give her that. Now, it is time to see how well she fares in combat.
*3rd person P.O.V*
Petey pulled his flail off of his back, and Ruby unfurled her scythe as they both got into fighting positions.
"Remember, students, you work to disarm your opponent, disarm only! Save the actual fighting for the Grimm." Professor Goodwitch said.
With their weapons ready, Ruby and Petey began their fight. Ruby ran forward with her semblance and tried to strike Petey with her weapon. But Petey simply used his own semblance to jump over her and land on the other side of the classroom arena.
"Remember, you have to study your opponent. See how they fight. Look for an opening, and a weakness." Goodwitch stated.
Ruby looked at her opponent, and tried to study him. She learned that he had a jumping semblance, and that he wielded a flail, and that there was likely a rifle in the staff, based on how it was shaped, but had no idea how good he was with it. Well, she was about to find out.
Petey swung the flail at her, extending the chain as it went so it was right next to her. Ruby just barely managed to see it and ducked out of the way. When Petey swung again, she held up Crescent Rose to defend herself. The chain wrapped around the scythe, and Ruby used this to her advantage. She yanked on her weapon as hard as she could, and with the flail attached to it, Petey was pulled forward. He landed on the ground, but still had his weapon in hand, so the match still went on.
Once he got his flail free, he retracted the chain and went with a different strategy. He turned the staff around and shot at Ruby, who used her scythe to deflect the shots. He noted that she didn't try and dodge naturally, which tipped him off that she over relied on her weapon in battle. He decided to use this.
He leapt right next to her, and they traded several weapon swings with each other. Both noted how well the other wielded their respective weapons. But the fight still had to have a winner, so it was time to end it. Petey swung his weapon downward, just as Ruby was doing a spin to strike him. The spikes of his flail tore into the fabric of Ruby's cape. After that, he swung his weapon upward, pulling the hood up and over Ruby's head. Petey then yanked his flail out of Ruby's cape, which caused her to become disoriented by the sudden yank. She spun around, started walking, and started swinging her scythe rapidly in front of her, not bothering to pull her damaged cape off of her head. She kept swinging wildly until she ran into a wall, causing her to fall down and drop her weapon.
"Ouch." She said while putting her hood back in it's proper place.
"And with that, the winner of this match is Petey Lucenay. You both did a great job, but still need improvement. Mr. Lucenay, you need to be careful when using that thing. Chained weapons are easy to take advantage of against skilled enemies, much like yours was. Try and save the extended chain feature as a last resort, or against an opponent that can't take advantage of it. And Miss Rose, you cannot over rely on your weapon, It's very easy to get disarmed out in the field, and you need to know how to keep fighting until you can get your weapon back. Also, you should do something about that hood of yours. If this had been a real battle, you would have most likely been killed the instant he pulled it over your head." Goodwitch stated.
"Yes, professor." Petey and Ruby said in perfect sync.
*Petey's P.O.V*
That was a fantastic battle. I'm amazed at how well Ruby can handle a scythe. I've only ever heard of one other person who can use a scythe with such skill, the hunter known as Qrow Branwen. I wonder if Ruby knows of him, if he's the one who inspired her to use a scythe as well. Still, what Professor Peach says reigns true. One mustn't over rely on their weapon in battle. Hmm, Ruby still seems disheartened over losing. Perhaps I can cheer her up.
"May I assist you, Ruby?"
"Sure, Petey."
*Ruby grabs Petey's hand and gets on her feet.*
"That was a fantastic battle, Ruby. You fought marvelously. You just need a bit of improvement. We all do, that's why we're here, to become better, to become true huntsmen and huntresses. I'm sure that by the time we graduate, you shall be one of the best huntresses in Remnant."
"Oh, uh, thanks, Petey. I'm sure that you'll be a great huntsman too. Anyway, I need to go and repair my hood."
Still somewhat shy, I see. Perhaps, if I ever see her again, I can assist her in overcoming that shyness. Is it possible to help her now? What is today? It's Tuesday, which means I have a test in Oobleck's class tomorrow. Sadly, time with my new friend shall have to wait.
"Very well, then. I must go to the library and study for a test I have tomorrow. Farewell, my friend."
"Bye."
I have a great feeling that I have just entered into a marvelous, lifelong friendship with this amazing young woman.
