Chapter 2:
A/N: So this kind of story isnt meant to be taken seriously. This story is just for fun and I hope you get some entertainment out of it. I haven't thought all the way through on what kind of stories I want but stayed tune.
"I repeat myself for a second time, Nikolia, you idiot!", Richtofen sat up from where ever he was. He was tired, he found himself somewhere he didnt expect. He seemed to be in a field of some kind but he couldn't tell, it was dark and the moon did not shine down to reveale their location. "You are still alive, aren't you?"
Silence. Richtofen stood up, "Sound off if you still can."
Richtofen heard the groans of his allies, transporting had made them weak.
Dempsey was the first to get up, "What the hell was that doc?"
Takeo was the next one, "Is it not clear, the drunk has ruined everything."
Nikolai chose to keep laying down, getting up took too much work. "It not my fault, Nikolai just take the time celebrate great victory."
The german could not take the time to explain Nikolais mistake, he needed to find the nearest 935 base and build a teleport with the supplies he could get.
Dempsey began to look around for his gun, it was hard to see in the darkness. "Where the hell are we? I can't see shit."
Richtofen looked to the sky, it was clearly night time. But the cloud were obstructing the moon. "We need to re-group. Find your weapons."
"What the hell does it look like I am doing german?" Dempsey continued to look for Skullcrusher.
"It darker than russian night, third wife thought she could hide from me in it. How wrong she was!" Nikolai continued to lay down in the grass. It was the first time in a long time that he had time to relax, he was going to enjoy it.
"Everyone stop moving, we wait for clouds to move to get a better view of our surroundings. We don't want one of us falling of a cliff. Though it would be nice to see how fall the drunkard could fall before he died." Richtofen stood still, he knew the kind of trick Samantha could play and he could not take the chance.
The group stood still waiting for the clouds to pass to illuminate their sournding. They got their wish and the clouds moved to reveal the moon, however, they were not prepared for what they would see next.
Beacon Academy, RWBY Drom
"Yang what are you talking about?" Weiss continued to sharpen her nails, she wasn't going to stop just because of the ravings of a mad woman.
Yang jumped down from her bed, she swore she smelled alcohol. "Guys I'm serious, how do you not smell that. It's so strong."
Ruby stopped cleaning crescent rose, "Yang, how do you know what alcohol smells like?"
Blake looked up from her book, any day of the week she would have told her partner that she was crazy. However for once she was right, she had smelled alcohol all day but she didn't want to say anything. She didn't want her new teammates to question her sanity. "You're not crazy Yang, I smell it too."
Yang crossed her arms, "Why didnt you say something earlier?"
Team RWBY had just formed, this was their first night together and there was still tension in the air. Weiss was still mad about not being leader, Blake was frustrated she was working with her sworn enemy, Ruby was trying to make friends with her new teammates, and Yang was concerned with the smell.
Blake put down her book,"Would you be concerned if someone walked up to you and told you that the air reeked of alcohol."
Ruby was still confused, she was trying to figure out what they were talking about. "What does alcohol smell like?"
Yang knew she couldn't tell her sister what it really smelled like, but she wanted to know that she wasn't going crazy. "It kinda smells like markers."
Ruby looked up from crescent rose, "Oh! That smell, yeah I smell that too."
Weiss finally put down her what she was doing, "Clearly we have a gas leak and I recommend we leave before you get more stupid."
Blake eyed the Heiress, "It can't be a leak, I have smelled it all day. There is something else going on."
Weiss couldn't care less, she need to get to bed earlier so she could study tomorrow morning. She would show everyone else that picking Ruby as team leader was a horrible mistake. "What ever, it is not our concern."
Blake looked at the window, "I don't know where this is coming from, but I know that something is going to change."
Time and Location Unknown
Our band of misfits look up at the night sky only to see that the moon is in ruins. They could now see that were in some sort of clearing in the middle of the forest. Dempsey was still looking for zombies, Takeo was trying to figure out where they were, Richtofen was screaming in his mind now that he couldn't get to Gryphon station, and Nikolai was concerned with the fact he only had one more bottle of vodka.
"Mien Gott! What has happened to the moon!" Richtofen feel on his hands and knees, his plans for power were ruined.
"Where the hell are we german?" Dempsey said as he continued to scan the forest.
Richtofen ignored him, "Why would Samantha do something like this, was she so desperate she rather blow herself up?" Richtofen began to to pound the ground and curse it in his native tongue.
Dempsey would have ignored this but something caught his attention, "Um Richtofen, you feeling okay?"
Richtofen looked up, Dempsey only called him by his name when things were bad. Clearly something was wrong. "What is wrong? Is there something behind me?"
Dempsey shook his head, "Nope, you just sound funny. More funny than normal."
Richtofen got up from the ground and began to pat himself down looking for wounds, but something was wrong. He wasn't bitten or scratched, if anything his uniform was clean now. It was was new but one thing was wrong, it was smaller. "Everyone stay still." Richton grabbed a flare from out of his pocket and popped it creating a red glow. When the clearing finally became illuminated the heros saw what was wrong. Richthofen was wearing a cleaner version of his uniform, minus the swastika, and the height. Now Richthofen was much younger, in his late teens around 16-17.
Richtofen looked at his hands, there were no scars from the times he cut up people. No blood under his fingernails. For the first time in what seemed like forever, no voices in his head. Richtofen looked as his new body, "What the hell happened to me?!"
Dempsey couldn't hold himself together, "HAHAHAHA! You look ridiculous doc, you're a kid now."
Richtofen looked up the American and his eyes went wide, "What are you talking about, look at yourself!"
Dempsey looked down, he was wearing a modified version of his jacket from the first world war, it was a bit darker but the thing that surprised him the most was that he was smaller. He looked at his hands, they too were clean, no blood, no puss, none of the badass scars he had accumulated. "Great, now I'm a kid!"
Takeo looked at his uniform, it reminded him greatly if the one he had worn during the first world war. He had his pony tail back but there was one difference. He wore long sleeves and his vest was a bit smaller. His boots were black and he too was smaller, but he already knew that. He could sense something was wrong since the beginning and it didn't bother him, "I will kill the plague now matter what form I take. Child or not, I will bring honor."
Nikolai was now laughing like a mad man, his thick voice echoing through the forest. He wore a mix between his current uniform and the one from the first world war. He had his hat, gloves, and boots form the first world war. Instead of the gray vest however he had a green one and the pants from his current uniform. He loved becoming a child, "Now that I am child, I can drink more. Two kidneys means more vodka! We should celebrate."
The group of once badass adults were now baddass teens and unfortunately for them they could only carry one weapon now, two was too much.
Richthofen was about to smack Nikolai but he was unmotivated. How could this happen, first he didn't know where or when he was, the moon was gone, and now he was a child. If things could get any worse Richtofen would just shoot himself now to get it over with.
Dempsey knew that he need to move on, every basic instinct told him to but he knew that staying put was their best option, "Hey guys, we should make camp for the night. We leave in the morning and try to find out where the hell we are."
Richtofen laid down, what was the point? His plan was ruined. He had nothing left, "Go ahead American. If you need me, I'll be right here. Crying."
Dempsey rolled his eyes and looked at Takeo, even though Takeo didn't like him they were both warriors and understood what needed to be done. For the next hour Dempsey and Takeo set up a campfire and built a small camp with bedding for all of them. Both Takeo and Dempsey turned in early while Nikolai spent the rest of the night trying to get Richtofen into bed. Eventually he succeeded in getting the German to bed and went to bed as well. Unknown to them though a pair of yellow eyes were watching them.
Beacon Academy
Glynda Goodwitch was looking at the monitor Ozpin had bought up, there was a large red dot on the map right in the middle of the emerald forest. She looked to Ozpin, "What do you think it means?"
Ozpin put down his coffee, "I'm not sure, but I do know that this spike of energy in the forest is not natural. Something or someone is in the forest and by the amount of power there I don't think they're there to pick flowers."
Glynda had never seen a power spike this large before and was concerned with it so close to the school, "What should we do then?"
Ozpin pressed several buttons on his desk, "I just sent a probe out into the area to scout it out, by tomorrow morning we should have visual. When we can detrimen what it is I want you to take some students out and investigate the area."
Glynda looked at the red dot, "Don't you think it would be more wise to send a team of teachers instead? What ever this is I don't think the students are ready for this."
"We can't alert anyone of what we found, we need to keep a low profile. Sending in the teachers would arouse suspicion and we don't know how the student would react. We need to keep things calm." Ozpin then took a sip of his coffee.
Glynda picked up her scroll and began to read through the list of students she could take with her, "I trust you, I just hope this doesn't blow up in our face." She was about to leave when Ozpin stopped her.
Ozpin looked around his office, "Do you smell alcohol?"
