What is up my RWBY brothers and sisters and welcome to a brand new slot in my RWBY evolution series, I know the previous chapter was the last episode of Volume 1 but this is what happened during the team's time away from Beacon and the next couple of chapter's is a real wallop, also it will forever change Juane, I also got chapters for Pyrrha, Nora and eventually Ren when the time is right, but without further ado, let's get it on
Chapter 1 A vacation cut short
(Summer, June 28th)
(Geo's P.O.V)
"It's already been one year since I arrived at Beacon, it's been a wild ride so far, between classes, training, keeping my teammates in line and teaching Juane my people's fighting style, It can sometimes be a little stressful, especially with that Cardin asshole, the local bully, thinks he's so tough…he has no idea what TOUGH really is, I've seen others that are worth more than fifty of him and Juane, the guys really come a long ways in the span of time I started to train him…and…I think Pyrrha's starting to develop a crush on him but I think Juane is a little too hard-headed to see it, anyway, things are going good and I only image them to get better…but for now, we came up with an excellent way to unwind and just kick back for a bit"
(End of P.O.V)
(Vale beach)
What better way to spend Summer vacation, why, going to the beach, of course, Geo, Ozzy, Lando, Deckard, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Juane, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren just arrived at Vale beach which already had people who were enjoying their Summer
"Whew, nothing like a day of fun in the sun" Pyrrha stated as the three groups walked onto the beach
"I could not agree more" Ren stated
"The bright sun, the cool breeze, the crystal, clear water…ah, this is heaven" Weiss added
"Not to mention the hot boys" Nora added as the others looked at her
"What" She asked them
"Okay then…well, let's set up" Lando told them as he dug into a side satchel he carried with him and one by one pulled out their beach gear, towels, sun screen, sun glasses, volleyball net, volleyball, umbrellas, the usual things you would bring to enjoy a day at the beach even a picnic basket containing the teams lunch
"You carried all of that in there" Ozzy asked Lando, pointing towards his satchel
"A simple, enhancement charm, contains an infinite number of items, oh, by the way, Yang, Weiss, here is your tanning cream, Blake, I packed some books, just in-case you get bored, Ren and Geo prepared us some lunch" Lando stated as he handed the people their items
"Um, Lando buddy did you pack my" Deckard was about to ask before Lando pulled out a surfboard
"Is this what your looking for" Lando asked him, Deckard then took the board from Lando
"Later dudes and dudetts, those sick waves are calling my name, COWABUNGA" Deckard yelled as he sprinted to the water
"Sheesh, he's as childish as Ruby" Weiss stated
"HEY" Ruby stated
"Yep…but, that's part of his charm" Yang stated with a giggle, Lando then pulled out a volleyball
"Oz" Lando told his Faunus friend as he threw the ball to him
"ALRIGHT, get read to get served guys at volleyball" Ozzy told the others
"In your dreams" Juane told Ozzy, Nora, Ren, Ruby and Yang got into a game of volleyball, Pyrrha went for a swim, Blake played holo-chess with B.D as he projected the game board and pieces in-between them, Deckard surfed big waves and Weiss worked on her tan meanwhile Juane asked Geo for an opportunity to get some extra training
"Now, remember Juane, keep your momentums fluid, remember what I taught you" Geo told him
"Develop speed in your reactions, accuracy in your movements and power in your strikes" Juane told him
"Right, now" Geo stated as he pulled a bucket full of tennis balls out of Lando's satchel along with a tennis racket
"Let's test your speed and accuracy" Geo told him as he tossed the ball up in the air
"Keep as many as these balls from passing you…ready" He asked Juane, he nodded as he armed himself with his sword
"Then heads up" Geo stated as he tossed the ball up in the air and he hit the ball towards him to which Juane cut the tennis ball in half
"Not bad, here comes some more" Geo stated as he hit more his way, he easily cut the incoming balls in half
"Good, let's speed up the pace a bit" Geo told Juane as he started launching balls faster at him meanwhile Pyrrha just came in from her swim, she looked over at the training blond boy, seeing him come a long way from where he was just months ago and she smiles
"What are you smiling about" Weiss asked Pyrrha
"It's Juane, he's come a long way in the last few months" Pyrrha answered
"I agree, he's been training with Geo for months on end" Blake added before she moved one of her chess pieces to win the game that she and B.D were playing
"Checkmate, B.D" Blake told the droid, he then made some metallic noise's as if it sighed and descended slowly to the ground in defeat
"Easy there, B.D, you played a good game" Blake told the droid, it then sprang back up and did a barrel roll in mid-air
"It's really made me proud, seeing our leader getting better and better" Pyrrha stated as she continued to watch Juane train, Blake then noticed a glim in her eye
"Getting a little cozy with him, aren't you" Blake asked Pyrrha, she then blushed a bit
"I…have no idea what you're talking about" Pyrrha stated
"Sure, you don't" Weiss added
"Oh, you two are one's to talk" Pyrrha told them
"What do you mean by that" Weiss asked
"Aren't you getting a little close to Ozzy, Weiss" Pyrrha asked her before she looked over at the volleyball game between Ozzy and Ren against Yang and Ruby, Ren launched the ball into the air before Ozzy leaped up and did a side spin kick to the ball and it collided with Yang and Ruby's side
"GOAL" Ozzy yelled as he and Ren did a double high-five
"WHOO" Ozzy and Ren yelled at once
"I…have no idea what you mean" Weiss stated as she blushed
"Then, why are you blushing" Blake asked her
"What…Ozzy is…a great friend and he's the only one among Team GOLD that acts like a REAL gentleman, besides, you seemed to be getting close to Lando" Weiss told Blake before she noticed Lando being slashed by Deckard's surfing
"GAAH, DECKARD" Lando yelled
"COME ON LANDO, JUMP IN THE WATER, IT'S FINE AS HELL" Deckard yelled before Lando used his magic to make a super tall wave that was gonna crash down on Deckard
"AAAH" Deckard yelled as he held onto his surfboard, the wave crashed on him and he washed on shore, landing next to Lando
"HA, HA, HA, HA, WIPEOUT" Lando yelled, Deckard then sat up and shook his head to get the sand off him
"You just wracked up some SERIOUSLY bad Carma there, Lando" Deckard told him, Blake then looked back at Weiss and Pyrrha
"Well…he doesn't judge Faunus's before he gets to know them…and he helped me out when I needed it" Blake answered
"And the kiss you gave him" Weiss asked, making Blake blush even harder that Weiss did a minute ago
"Kiss…what kiss" Pyrrha asked
"IT WAS A THANK YOU KISS" Blake replied
"It sure looked like more than that" Weiss stated
"Oh, tell me ALL about it" Pyrrha added, making Blake grunt
"GOOD, GOOD" Geo stated as Juane continued to show promise until he ran out of tennis balls
"Nicely done Juane, soon, you'll be a highly-trained warrior like Pyrrha" Geo told him, patting him on the back
"And then, I'll probably be better that you are" Juane told Geo
"One step at a time buddy, one step at a time" Geo replied as his scroll buzzed from inside the side bag he brought, pulled it out and answered, it was Ozpin
"Professor O, what can I do for you" Geo asked Ozpin
"Enjoying your day off, I take" Ozpin asked his nephew
"Sure are, the sun's bright, the water's fine and" Geo was about to say as he saw Ruby as she were going about her business and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at how hot she looked
"The girls are hotter" Geo muttered
"What was that last part" Ozpin asked him
"N-nothing, anyway, what's up" Geo asked his headmaster
"Geo, you know, I wouldn't ask anything of you that wasn't important, I need your team and Teams RWBY and JNPR to come in today, there's something that needs your attention" Ozpin told him
"Of course, sir, we'll be there soon" Geo replied as he hung up
"And here I thought we were gonna have a day all to ourselves" Juane told Geo
"You and me both, GUYS WRAP IT UP, OZPIN WANTS TO SEE US" Geo told his teammates and the other two teams
"SERIOUSLY" Ruby and Yang said as once
"No fair" Weiss stated
"MMMMM" Blake grunted
"AW MAN" Nora added
"WHAT" Ozzy yelled
"We were winning" Ren added
"I know guys, but when Professor O calls, we gotta answer" Geo replied
"You gotta be kidding me, it's Summer man" Deckard stated
"Yes, a time to relax" Lando added
"I know, I KNOW, but Ozpin wouldn't have called us unless it was important" Geo replied
"Well…we might as well see what it is, hopefully it won't take us long" Pyrrha added
(Beacon, Ozpin's office)
After packing their stuff up and traveling to Beacon, Teams GOLD, RWBY and JNPR arrived at the headmaster's office
"Wow…I don't think I've ever been up to Ozpin's office before" Yang stated, looking around the office
"Whoa, he even has a see-through piano…that's WICKED" Deckard stated
"It's so clean" Weiss added as the two teams walked up to Ozpin's desk
"Hello everyone, having a nice day" Ozpin asked them
"We were sir" Juane stated
"I didn't even get a chance to work on my tan" Weiss stated Ruby elbowed her in the ribs
"OWW" Weiss stated
"Anyway, is there a problem, sir" Geo asked Ozpin
"Do any of you recognize this man" Ozpin asked the group of students as he showed them an image of Farbros, Lando then tensed up which didn't go by unnoticed by Ozpin
"Mister Atmos…you know this man" Ozpin asked him, Blake then gripped Lando's right hand
"It's okay, Lando" Blake told him
"I'm afraid so, that's Farbros and his pet, Blade" Lando answered
"Uh, that guy gave me nightmares for a week after seeing what he can do" Ruby stated
"What about Farbros" Deckard asked Ozpin
"He's been sighted by certain employs of mine I think he's looking for something" Ozpin answered
"What's that" Blake asked Ozpin
"Unknown for now, but from the looks of him, he is nothing but trouble, whatever he is looking for" Ozpin was about to say
"It can't be good" Juane stated
"Correct" Ozpin stated
"Where is he" Pyrrha asked Ozpin
"Somewhere on Menagerie" Ozpin answered
"WHAT…are…are you sure sir" Blake asked him
"Quite sure, Miss Belladonna, apparently, there is a legend surrounding that place about an ancient artifact left behind after the great war, three hundred years ago, since then, it has been lost, luckily, an old friend of mine told me stories about it and I kept a close eye on the artifacts resting place ever since…if Farbros is after it…then it is trouble" Ozpin stated
"Then we should get on his trail while it's still hot" Lando stated
"Lando" Blake muttered
"I thought you might, so, I charted all of you passage there and with the help of the local chieftain, track down the artifacts location and secure it" Ozpin told them
"And take down Farbros" Lando added
"Stop him yes…but you are to apprehend him if possible" Ozpin answered
"You can count on me and my team, sir" Geo told Ozpin
"I know I can count on all of you, be careful…your dismissed" Ozpin replied, the three teams then turned to walk away and entered the elevator
"Um, Ozzy, where Menagerie" Ruby asked Ozzy
"It's a landmass to the Southeast, given to the Faunus's, it's probably the only landmass in the kingdom where Faunus's can be themselves and not have to worry about discrimination" Ozzy explained
"Poor them" Yang stated
"I feel for them to Yang I wish they lived just like the rest of us" Deckard stated
"What do you mean by that" Ren asked him
"I mean, we shouldn't separate our civilization, we all live under the same sun, eat the same food, no matter what we look like on the outside, we are all connected, and we all share this world, right" Deckard asked
"Wow, I think that's the most sense you've made since we've know you" Juane asked
"And there's a bit of a philosopher in you, isn't there" Weiss asked
"Hey, I have my moments" Deckard replied
"So, what's the game plan, leader" Lando asked Geo
"We rest for tonight, when well-rested, we head to Menagerie, we see what Farbros is up to, kick his sorry ass and keep that artifact away from him and whoever he's working for" Geo answered
"Sounds like a plan to me" Ruby replied
"Of course, any plan that involves ass-kicking is ALWAYS a good plan" Nora stated
"OH, he'll get WAY more than an ass-kicking" Lando stated as he cracked his knuckles
"THAT…I can promise" Lando added to his last statement
"And we'll be there to help you Lando…he won't get away from us this time" Ozzy told him
"Yeah, he's as good as got" Deckard added
(Later, that night)
While the three teams got their rest, Blake was seating over the edge of the cliff that Beacon was located on, looking out at the view, she was very, VERY deep in thought, especially knowing that she was heading back to the place where she was born
(Those who have seen RWBY volume 4, you know this already, those who don't, sorry for the spoiler)
*I can't believe it…were going to Menagerie…I haven't been there for close to a year…my mom and dad will probably be furious I brought humans to the island* Blake thought to herself, until she felt someone coming, she knew who it was
"A bit of moonlighting Blake" Lando's voice came from behind her, she smiled as she looked back at him
"I needed some air, after all…it is a beautiful night" Blake stated
"May I" Lando asked her, guesting if he could seat next to her, she nodded and he took the seat on her right
"It sure is, the crickets are singing, the moon is shining bright…and there isn't a single Grimm in sight" Lando stated
"Hmm" Blake muttered
"So…what's wrong Blake" He asked her
"What makes you think something's wrong with me" Blake asked him
"When Ozpin mentioned that we were going to Menagerie, your face turned almost as pale as a ghost, so you can either, A, tell me what's bothering you, or, B, we can seat here all night until you do talk and we'll both be tired as a mother after going into labor…your choice" He told her, which made her giggle
"You certainly have a way with words" She told him
"Well…what's it gonna be Blake" He asked her, she was silent for a minute before she sighed and answered
"Menagerie is where I was born…it's where my family is, hell, it's even where I meet the current leader of the White Fang, Adam Taurus" She told him, Lando swore he could feel her feelings
"He was…your boyfriend" He asked her, which made her blush hard
"I NEVER SAID THAT" She snapped in embarrassment
"Blake…you can be honest with me" He told her
"I know I can but…that's…very personal" She told him
"I know…but…I wanna be here for you Blake…you can tell me anything, you know that, don't you" He asked her, she then sighed
"Yes" She replied
"Then, please Blake…let me help you" He told her, she hesitated for a minute before she continued
"Yes, Adam was my…boyfriend, he was my mentor in-fact, taught me almost everything that I know now, he was even my personal hero, standing up for what, I thought at the time was right…until…I finally opened my eyes…I turned my back on him, I didn't want anything else to do with him when I left the White fang…I haven't seen him in half a year now" She explained
"I see, so, do your parents live on Menagerie to" Ace asked her
"My mom and dad do, Ghira and Kali Belladonna" Blake answered, leaving out one detail, but she felt like she could trust Lando with it
"He's…the leader of the Faunus settlement" Blake added
"So, that makes you the chieftain's daughter…hot dame" He stated
"Yeah, it does" She answered
"But, why did you go as pale as a ghost when Ozpin mentioned Menagerie" Lando asked her
"Because, I'm worried about how the other's will react to being on an island full of Faunus, especially Weiss, you know that her company uses…Faunus labor" Blake stated
"Yeah, I know…but Weiss is mellowing out, she seems to be getting along with Ozzy" He told her, she wasn't so convinced
"Blake, you put your trust in me when I figured out you were a Faunus and I put my trust in all of you when I told you about Farbros…trust goes both ways Blake" Lando told her, she was silent for a second
"Lando, can you do something for me" Blake asked him
"Anything, just name it" He replied, she paused for a second before answering
"Close your eyes" She told him
"What for" He asked her
"Just do it…please" She told him, he chuckled
"Okay, okay" He replied before closing his eyes
*Well…here it goes* Blake said mentally as she leaned into Lando's space and she lightly touched his lips with her own, Lando then opened his eyes after her lips left his
"What was that for" He asked her
"For…just being you…and for…everything else" She told him, Lando then got to his feet
"Hey…that's what I'm here for" He told her as he held out his hand to her, she took it and he pulled her to her feet
"And, I must say…that was actually my first kiss" He told her
"Really…you never kissed a girl before" She asked him
"Not until a few seconds ago" He replied
"How did it feel" She asked him
"It was…sweet" He answered Blake then draped her arms around his neck
"Then…would you like another" She asked him
"Only if you answer my question first" He told her
"Ask away" She answered
"Are you just attracted to the fact that I'm a mage" He asked her
"No…I'm attracted to the fact that you are the most honest, trusting and compassionate person I have ever meet and that you don't hate me" She told him
"Why would I hate you" He asked her
"Most other do with a Faunus" She replied
"Not me, Blake…not me…besides, those cat ears are the cutest things I have ever seen" He told her, making her blush even more
"Care for that kiss now" She asked him
"Only if it's okay with you" He replied, she then leaned up and kissed him again on the lips, this time the two held their lips together for what felt like eternity but it was really, just a minute, the need for air and everything, Blake then snuggled her head into Lando's chest and he could hear her purring
"You purr like a cat to" Lando asked her
"Well…what else did you expect from a cat" She asked him as he stroked her hair gently, they stayed in each-other's arms for a bit
"I must be crazy for saying this but…I think I love you Lando" She told him
"Well…as dad would say, it had to happen eventually" He stated, making her giggle again, she then looked in his eyes
"Whenever I need you…you'll be there, won't you" She asked him, Lando then let go of her and put his hands together, radiating magic, he then pulled his hands apart and created what looked like a rose out of white crystals, he placed it behind Blake's right, normal ear
"That seals that promise…I will ALWAYS be there for you" He replied before he kissed her forehead
"Now…I think we should get some sleep we got a long boat trip ahead of us" He told her, they both walked hand in hand back to the school, they soon arrived at their respected dorms, Lando then winked at Blake and she blew a kiss at him before they retired for the night in their dorm rooms
OOOOOOOOOH, Lando got some sugar from our favorite cat girl (Wolf whistle)
Well, my friends, that is it for the first chapter of this new story of mine and I certainly hope you enjoyed seeing a little bit of Lando's soft side after he comforted Blake and my friends, please do not forget to drop a review in the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen and let me know what you think of this chapter and if your wondering what I'll be changing in this short but badass story, then I promise you that it will be worth it
Until that time, stay humble and kind and remember to spread love and not hate, I'll see ya'll later
