Hero: A RWBY AU Story
Chapter 2
OZPIN'S OFFICE
Ozpin, sipping his morning coffee, sits in silence and looks at some documents, in front of him. As he does, he hears a slow woosh behind him. Not even turning around, Ozpin sighs.
The doors to his office opens. He looks up and sees Goodwitch entering.
"Headmaster." Goodwitch said.
"Yes. I am aware, Glynda." Ozpin said.
Goodwitch sighs, crossing her arms. "What kind of predicament would cause James to personally visit Beacon, rather than contact us, from Atlas?"
"I am clueless as well, Glynda." Ozpin said, standing up. He picks up his cane, walks to a window and stares outside. "Whatever Ironwood needs to speak to us about...it's probably something, in which only we need to know."
Goodwitch walks and stands besides Ozpin, staring outside the window, as well.
"If that is true...then we need to inform Qrow."
Ozpin smiles. "Trust me, Glynda. He knows."
He then knocks on the glass, and suddenly Qrow drops, hanging upside down, and looking at the two.
Goodwitch sighs. "I'll let him in."
RWBY DORM ROOM
Outside Team RWBY's dorm room, Weiss is standing in front of the door. Crossing her arms, she thinks of a way to get back at her team, for running off and leaving her with the restaurant bill, earlier. Of course...she never even paid it.
Oh, crap. She thought.
Weiss then notices something on her left sleeve of her jacket. A slightly long tear on it. She sighs over the damage. But, her eyes go wide and smiling mischievously. After a few seconds, she reaches for the doorknob. Opening it, she enters to see Blake in her bed, silently reading. Ruby and Yang are sitting on the floor, staring at the screen of a tablet, and using their Scrolls as controllers. Weiss notices that the sisters are playing a game, in which the players are blocky and are using their hands to chop down cubed wood.
Really? Weiss thought. Dustcraft, again?
The character Ruby is playing suddenly is punched by Yang's character.
"Yang!" Ruby whines. "Stop it!"
"Sorry." Yang said, making her character go to a tree, to mine for resources.
Blake takes some time, to look at Ruby. "What's wrong?"
"Yang's breaking the no-killing rule!" Ruby said.
"I'm not breaking the rule, Rubes!" Yang exclaims. "Are you dead?" Yang waits for Ruby's answer, but it met with silence. "Alright. Then shut up!"
Ruby groans in annoyance. This embarrassment makes Weiss giggle, to her surprised. Ruby and Yang turn to see Weiss, standing there. Ruby quickly stands up and looks nervous.
"Hey...Weiss." Ruby said. "Um...how are you?"
Weiss tilts her head. "I'm doing...fine. Why do you ask?"
Ruby chuckles nervously.
"Oh!" Weiss said, raising her eyebrows. "Is it because, all three of you left me, at that restaurant, earlier?"
Yang freezes from playing the game, Blake drops her book, and Ruby presses two fingers together.
Weiss, deciding not to tell them, she didn't pay for the food, decides to lie. She then squints her eyes and sport a mad look.
"Because of you three...I had to pay for every single meal, you had. Especially you, Yang. Yours was twice the cost of mines."
Yang gulps nervously. Even though, she would not take Weiss' anger seriously, normally...she feels nervous, for some reason. Weiss continues.
"That being said...I have thought of many ways of having you pay back, for this predicament. And I believe I have a way, you can."
Weiss then proceeds to walk to the closet, she and her team share. Opening the door, she takes out some casual clothing and looks at her team.
"In 1 hour, I am heading out to Vale, to go shopping for some new wardrobe, some Dust vials, and school supplies for next semester."
"I don't like, where this is going." Ruby said.
Weiss smiles. "And that's why, all three of you will be going with me...and together, you will be buying the Dust vials and school supplies, and you will carry my bags for me. I'll be buying the wardrobe, myself. Oh! And if you refuse...let's just say, none of you will wake up tomorrow, with no clothes to wear."
Jaws drops from her team, while Weiss casually walk into the bathroom.
"We really pissed her off." Yang said. "Didn't we?"
"Oh, yeah." Ruby said, lowering her head.
"Well, then." Blake said, getting up. "If Weiss is serious, with that threat...I need to go pay Sun a visit."
Blake proceeds to leave the room, and leave the sisters, frozen in their positions.
"I blame you for this, Rubes." Yang said.
"I know." Ruby said.
JNPR DORM ROOM
Jaune lies on his bed, groaning and his arm over his abdomen.
"I feel like, I need to barf. But, I can't."
Nora, who was sitting on her bed, stands up.
"Oh, don't be a baby, Jaune. You need to set an example, as our beloved leader. So, MAN UP!"
All Jaune can do is groan in response. Nora sighs.
"Or you could just be a baby."
"No need, Nora."
Nora turns around, and sees Ren holding a glass full of green liquid. Almost immediately, Nora can smell the concoction and covers her nose.
"Ren." She said. "What the heck is that?"
"This is a blend of herbs and vegetables that is filled with nutrients vital to your body's well-being." Ren answered. "I believe this could help Jaune, with his food sickness."
"Or possibly make him puke, based on that smell." Nora said, backing away. "It looks like slime from a lake bed!"
Ren sighs and walks to Jaune, and offers the glass.
"Here, Jaune. This will hopefully help."
Jaune groans and sits up on his bed, grabbing the glass as well. Looking at the green liquid, he then proceeds to pinch his nose.
"Well." He said, his voice a little higher and nasally. "Bottoms up."
The door opens, and Pyrrha enters the room. She notices Jaune about to drink from the green liquid, and her eyes go wide.
"Jaune! Don't drin-"
Too late.
Aftre half a second of drinking, Jaune's face turns green and his face contorts. He gives the glass back to Ren, and rushes to the bathroom, and lowers his head at the toilet. His team watches as Jaune empties both the green liquid and his lunch into the toilet.
Pyrrha places her hand on her forehead, and looks at Ren. Her gesture is in a "Why?" position.
"You knew, that would happen." Nora said, to Ren. "Didn't you?"
"I...might've." Ren said. "Just didn't like hearing him whining."
Pyrrha said, and looking at a bottle of medicine. "So much for this."
Jaune stands up and flushes the toilet, and rinses his mouth using the sink water, before exiting the bathroom, holding his stomach. He then looks at Ren, with a mad look.
"What is wrong with you, man?" He asked.
All Ren does is shrug his shoulders, and sits on his bed.
"How are you feeling, Jaune?" Pyrrha asked, a little worried.
"Well...a little better, now that I got rid of my lunch." Juane answered, as he walks to his bed and lying down on it. "But, my stomach is not well."
"Don't worry." Pyrrha said, smiling. "I brought some medicine."
Pyrrha proceeds to sit on Jaune's bed, and opens the bottle. She then raises her hand, and a nearby spoon glows black, and it flies to her hand. Gripping the spoon, Pyrrha pours some of the medicine into it.
"Okay, Jaune." Pyrrha said. "This is will calm your stomach."
Pyrrha then moves closes and places the medicine-filled spoon a few inches from Jaune's mouth.
"Now say 'aah'"
Jaune groans in annoyance. "I'm not a baby, Pyrrha."
All Pyrrha does is smile. Jaune sighs and opens his mouth, consuming the medicine. When he is done, Pyrrha places the spoon and the bottle on a cabinet.
Jaune then yawns and stretches his arms. "I'm feeling a bit sleepy. Wake me up, in a couple hours."
Pyrrha nods. "I'll be sure to do that."
Jaune then begins to close his eyes. "Thanks, Pyrrha. You're the best."
Pyrrha smiles, as she watches Jaune fall asleep. She hears a giggle, and turns to see Nora, who is smiling widely.
"That was just sooooooo cute!" She said.
Pyrrha looks away, hiding her blush. But Nora notices this.
"Oh, look. You're blushing. You must really care for him."
Pyrrha turns back to Nora, before turning to Jaune.
"I do, Nora. Very much."
OZPIN'S OFFICE
Ozpin and Goodwitch are standing, in the middle of the room, while Qrow, drinking from his flask, leans on the wall. The door opens, and the three sees Ironwood entering.
"James." Ozpin said, smiling. "How unexpected of you, to visit Beacon. Especially so soon after the Vytal Fesitval has ended."
"I do apologize for the sudden appearance, Ozpin." Ironwood said. "But, this matter couldn't be relayed through any communications. I had to inform you, personally, instead."
"Well, then." Qrow said, joining the group. "Mind telling us, why you're here then, Jimmy?"
Ironwood stares at Qrow, before turning back to Ozpin.
"What I am about to tell you, is highly classified." Ironwood said. "Nobody, but the higher-ups of the Atlesian Military, and the Atlesian Council, are aware of this. They don't even know, about this meeting, we're having."
"What is going on?" Goodwitch said. "Why the secrecy?"
"To avoid panic, Glynda." Ironwood answered. He sighs and explains.
"Yesterday...the Atlesian airship, holding Cinder Fall and he accomplices, came under attack, by members of the White Fang. They managed to infiltrate the airship, kill every one of my men, and escape with the airship."
"As well as every prisoner aboard." Qrow said. "Including Fall."
"Not just her, Qrow." Ozpin said. "In addition to Miss Sustrai and Mister Black, I suspect there were other prisoners, aboard that airship."
"...Roman Torchwick."
"Correct." Ironwood said. "In addition, the White Fang managed to destroy the tracking device, that was installed, as well. So, we have no idea, where it is."
Ozpin proceeds to walk to his desk, and sits down on it.
"This is a problem, James." Ozpin said. "With Cinder Fall and her accomplices, on the loose, there's no doubt, that they're plotting something."
"My thoughts exactly." Ironwood said. "We're doing everything, we can to track these criminals and apprehend them again. But, we may never know, until then."
"It's not apprehending them, that I'm worried about." Ozpin said. He then takes his coffee mug, and takes a sip, before looking at Ironwood said. "I'm more worried about what she has planned."
"Right." Qrow said. "Her. We all know, that even thought her pawns were taken, no doubt she is still scheming."
"Yes, Qrow." Ozpin said. "Indeed. Until we get a sign of her, I would suggest that James continue your hunt for Fall. And we will do everything, we can to assist in your search."
"And...what about Amber?" Goodwitch asked, worried.
Ozpin, Ironwood and Qrow look at Amber.
"That's the main reason, why Fall tried to attempt, in the past." Goodwitch said. "To find Amber, and kill her. No doubt about that. Perhaps, that's what she'll try to attempt again."
"That's why, we'll do our best, to keep Fall away from Amber." Qrow said. "I'll die, to ensure that she doesn't lay a hair on her.."
"Valient goal, Qrow." Ozpin said. "Let us hope, it doesn't come to that."
"Yes. Let us hope." Ironwood said.
COURTYARD
Blake walks down a hallway, passing by students and teachers, and holding a mad look. When she reaches the courtyard, she recognizes the man, she's looking for. She can tell, by the tail behind him.
Sun Wukong stands in the middle of the courtyard, practicing some moves, with his staff, while a group of girls watch in amazement and awe. Blake crosses her arms, and angrily watches Sun strike the ground.
As Sun pants and stares at the ground, she sees a shadow approaching him.
"Well, well, well."
Sun's eyes go wide, and he slowly lifts his head, and sees Blake, staring at him. He quickly stands up and begins to chuckles nervously.
"Um...hey, Blake." Sun said, scratching the back of his head. "You come to watch me?"
Blake doesn't respond, only angrily staring at it.
"You...got my note. Didn't you?"
"Yes." Blake answered. "I did, indeed. Care to explain yourself?"
Sun tries his best to come up with an excuse. But after several tries, Blake is not convinced. Sun then just sighs.
"Neptune." He asked.
Blake raises her eyebrow. "What does he have to do with taking my money."
"Well...he got into a fight, with a guy, who turned out to be an undercover cop. And...needless to say..."
"You used my money, to pay for his bail?" Blake angrily asked.
Sun chuckles nervously. Blake angrily sighs.
"Well, then. Now, because of you, I have to go with Weiss and help pay for whatever she needs to buy, since I didn't have any money to pay for my expensive lunch, earlier."
"Oh, crap." Sun said. "Blake. I am so...so...sorry. I can make it up to you. How much do time, do you have?"
Blake takes out her Scroll and looks at the clock. "45 Minutes."
"Great!" Sun exclaims. "I'll be right back."
Sun begins running, as Blake turns and looks at the girls, who were listening in on the conversation.
"GET OUTTA HERE!" Blake screams.
The girls yelp and run away. Blake sighs and finds a place to sit, and wait.
After a few minutes, Blake finally sees Sun running back to her. She gives Sun some time to catch his breath.
"Well?"
After a few seconds, Sun reaches for his pocket, and takes out envelope. Blake takes it and opens it. She is surprised to see Lien inside.
"Where did you get this?" Blake said. "Please tell me, you-"
"I didn't steal it, if that's what you're asking." Sun said, raising his arms, in defense. "Neptune had this saved up, for something, that I cannot say. I told him, that he technically owed you. And he just basically gave me that envelope."
Blake takes the Lien and puts it away.
"Well, the next time, you decide to take my money again, at least have the common courtesy to ask me."
Sun nods. "Yes, ma'am."
"And...this is not enough to make it up." Blake said. "I want something else, as well."
"Um...okay. What?"
"There's this carnival in Vale." Blake explains. "I want you to accompany me, there. And wear something nice."
Sun tilts his head. "Are you...asking me out, Blake?"
Blake just smiles. "Meet me at the landing pad, tomorrow evening at 6 o'clock. And don't be late."
Blake then turns around and walks away, leaving a surprised Sun, there.
"Whoa." He said. "And I thought, I'd ask her out, first."
As he walks away, he doesn't notice a certain blonde brawler, with a disappointed and sad look on her face. Yang, hiding behind a pillar, sighs as she walks away.
END OF CHAPTER 2
That's another chapter in my AU story. I gave a Bumblebee hint. But, who know what the ship's going to be. And we got the obvious Arkos hint, too.
Leave a review, to let me know, what you thought. I also apologize if this was short. I believe I'll make Chapter 3 a little longer.
Thanks for reading. Chapter 3 coming in 2017.
