Chapter 2: Day 1 of the New World
The Next Morning
The sun stood shining bright; the air was beautiful, Forrest snored like a baby. It was, dare I say it, perfect. Until a confident red-haired girl wanted to ruin it. She tip-toed, her way between Weiss and Forrest. *Whistle*
"Good morning, Team RWBY! Or is it team RWBYF? Nah, I'll think of something."
Forrest and Weiss immediately woke up. They both got different reactions.
Forrest summoned both of his weapons. Furthermore got up in a battle-like stance, "Where is the target of battle!?" He noticed Ruby, Yang and Blake all standing and wearing their school uniforms.
Meanwhile, Weiss fell onto the floor. She got up, finding Ruby, Yang, Blake and Battle Stance himself, Forrest Green. "What in the world is wrong with you!"
Forrest groans, he didn't wake up earlier! His weapons vanished in a flash of blue light. He advanced to the bathroom to let the water from the waterfall go.
Ruby stopped Forrest from going any further, "Stop Forrest! I have an announcement to make! Now that everyone is awake, we can officially begin our first order of business!" Forrest knew already what everyone is going to say or do.
"You're going to say decorating right? The room is a mess; you guys can do that. I'll clean up, and go, team, yay," he moved his right hand as he entered the bathroom and started to clean himself up.
The others or his team stood and watched. "What he said!' Ruby smiled, as Yang opened her suitcase along with Blake. Weiss still questioning things, "What?!" Forrest took his shower in the background.
"Aaaalright! Weiss, Blake, Yang anddddd Forrestwhosdoinghisownthing, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission!" Ruby stated.
She raised her hand in the air, "Banzai!" with her sister and Blake doing the same thing. Weiss still standing there, wondering what the fuck is even happening. "Yeah go, team," they heard Forrest through the bathroom walls.
Unknown Minutes later
They finished they're decorating. It looked, goodish, it didn't look bad. It can be worse; it was cramped. With four beds, books, and the curtain ripped in half. By Crescent Rose of course. It had boy posters along the wall. There was a problem, four beds = four people. But there's five of them, so, four beds = five people? Two people have to sleep together.
Team RWBY or team RWBYF was gazing and studying the room. With Forrest dressing up in the Beacon uniform in the bathroom.
"This isn't going to work," Weiss said, who finished putting on her uniform.
"It is a bit cramped," Ruby added her comment.
"Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff," Yang said.
"We could always kick Weiss out," Forrest said, now standing with them in his outfit.
"Hey!" Weiss replied, glaring at the black-haired student. His little comment made Yang and Ruby laugh, and Blake smiled.
"Or we could ditch the beds... and replace them with bunk beds!" Ruby got her idea! And now its time to plan it out.
"Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous," Weiss said.
"And super-awesome!" Yang cheerfully said, agreeing with her sister.
"It does seem efficient, but we do have Forrest..." Blake said.
.
"Huh, Forrest?"
.
Blake turned to see him; he left. Forrest didn't want to be late of course. Now they don't have his opinion on the matter. They'll decide for him.
"He always does that!" Weiss said. Forrest appears at will, then disappears out of thin air!
"Anyone notices he's not wearing his bandages?" Yang said. She looked at the ground near his chair. His bloody sweater and bandages are there.
"Huh, I didn't even notice that, well whatever he'll be fine! Now team! Let's change it up!" Ruby declared as they went to work.
Meanwhile, with Forrest, he was standing outside the room. He turned across; team JNPR housed there. He got an idea, "Hm," he got closer.
He took a quick breath, and then he kicked the door open. "AHAHAHAHAH!" Four screams followed his action. "Don't be late guys!~" He quickly ran for it. Jaune peered out of his doorway, along with his team.
"W-was that Forrest?" Jaune said, hoping for someone to say yes.
"I think so," Pyrrha said.
"I am going to kill him Renny!" Nora yelled as she chased after him. She was eating her pancakes!
"Wait, Nora!" Ren yelled as his team chased her. The door to Forrest's side opened, with Ruby peering outside. Along with Yang, Weiss and Blake.
"What's happening?" Yand said.
"I think Forrest kicked their door open, and Nora is chasing him down," Blake explained. "And her team is making sure Forrest doesn't die."
"Wait, what time is it?" Weiss said to Ruby, who checked her scroll.
"Oh, no, we're going to be late for class!" Ruby said, making Weiss say her famous word.
"You dunce! We're going to be late! The room can wait!" Weiss ran after them, following the others.
Headmaster Ozpin and Professor Glynda Goodwitch were wandering together in the courtyard. They wanted to talk about Forrest and the new students. "What did you want to talk about?" Glynda asked Ozpin, as he carried his weapon and mug.
"Well, I wanted to talk about Forrest, th-"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!"
"COME BACK HERE!"
"I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE EATING PANCAKES AM SORRY!"
"RUN FORREST, HELP ME GUYS!"
They turned to see, Forrest running away. Jaune, Ren and Pyrrha were trying to hold down Nora. Who was very strong for her age, and was carrying them.
"I can't hold her!" Jaune yelled using everything he got to hold Nora.
"Why is she so strong!" Pyrrha surprising said.
"Pancake diet is op!" Ren said.
As Nora chased Forrest, right behind them was team RWBY, or team RWBYF.
"We have to help Forrest!" Ruby said. She used her speed to catch up.
"We're going to be late because of him!" Weiss yelled.
"I don't wanna miss this!" Yang yelled.
"I don't really care!" Blake said, who was somehow reading while running.
As all of them ran past them, Ozpin took a sip of his coffee. "Exciting morning indeed." With Glynda raising her right eyebrow.
Unknown Minutes Later
"Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" Professor Peter Port said. As he was beginning his lesson.
Forrest was nursing his wounds from Nora. Earlier Nora gave him a beatdown of a lifetime, as the others watched in horror. Only after Jaune, Ren, Pyrrha, Yang, Blake, Ruby and Weiss took her off. Forrest lived! He said he was sorry. Forrest then bought lots; I mean lots of pancakes for her. Now he and Nora are "Pancake friends," in her words.
In class, he sat next to Ruby, with his team as Jaune and Pyrrha sat near them.
"You okay?" Ruby asked Forrest, who grunted in pain.
"I am not dead, so yeah," he replied. Nora was mighty, beyond that. Forrest took out a piece of paper, his "Rank List" of everyone. He ranked all of them. He was the second bottom, Jaune was at the bottom. It says...
Rank List!
First: Pyrrha (Makes sense)
Second: Nora (Makes sense I hope)
Third: Yang (Second if she is using her Semblance)
Fourth: Ren (Hmph)
Fifth: Blake (Makes sense?)
Sixth: Weiss (I don't know yet)
Seventh: Ruby (Maybe?)
Eighth: Forrest (myself)
Ninth: Jaune (Sorry, I love you and all)
"I should study more, and add more notes," he thought. He put it away.
"Don't worry, you'll see it again! I recorded it!" Yang said. She filmed more than helping him.
"Hmph," Forrest says.
"Uhhhh... And you shall, blah, blah, blah," Forrest didn't pay attention. He slammed his head downwards, "Ow," the others looked at him.
"You should pay attention!" Weiss said to Forrest, who took out his hand. He made it like a hand puppet.
"Look at me! I am Weiss, miss perfect! Blah, blah," he said. Making the others around him giggle.
"Stop being such a brute!" Weiss started to get irritated by him.
"Well yo-" *Cough* "Mr. Green and Ms. Schnee!"
They both stood up, "You wanna discuss something with the class?"
"I was going to say-" Forrest began.
"Yes, Forrest was saying how fast he can kill a Grimm!" Weiss said. Forrest, Yang, Blake and Ruby had their jaws dropped.
"Perfect! Mr. Green, I see you are eager to learn I see! Well, come down here! " Professor Port gestured his hands. Forrest glared at Weiss; he sighs as he made his way down.
He stood near Port and a... cage?! Where did that come from, huh eh? "Where did that come from!?" Port ignored his question. He walked near it, with his axe. "Prepare yourself!"
Forrest yelled as a bluish-green aura took over. His weapons appeared.
His weapons awestruck the students. "What is that?" A female voice asked.
"I don't know, a sword and shield?" Another voice said.
"It looks weird!" A male voice said.
Blake, Yang and Ruby cheered for Forrest in their different way. Blake had little flags with their team name spelled on it. Yang had her scroll out, going to record the whole thing. Ruby, on the other hand, was chanting his name.
Weiss was thinking about something, "Perfect; he'll get embarrassed, and then I'll go after him. I'll showcase my skills off, and show everyone I deserve the team leader spot and I am better than Forrest!"
Forrest prepared himself, in his Battle Stance. He eyed the cage, as red eyes beamed out of it. "Begin!" Port announced.
He cut open the cage, as the creature of darkness came. It was a simple Beowolf. It scanned around, then set its sights on Forrest.
It went on all fours and howled, then charging Forrest. "Hmph," our black-haired swordsmen blocked the Beowolf's claws. "This isn't th-" the Beowolf used its strength to knock Forrest on his ass. "Nevermind," Forrest had to block while on the floor. The bitch of a creature launched an assault on him.
Forrest tired kicking it with both legs. It didn't do jack shit, the Beowolf howled. Forrest used his sword to stab it; it worked, for him of course.
"Take Dat yo-" the Beowolf having none of that. It ripped the shield from Forrest; it broke leaving Forrest wide open. "OH SHIT!" He rolled out of the way.
"Rolling, rolling, we are rolling," he rolled around on the floor. The Beowolf was trying to stomp on him. Forrest was able to get up, creating distance.
Forrest then threw his sword at the creature; the Beowolf swiped it out of the air. Forrests' shield came back, he ran and slammed it into the face of the Beowolf.
"Eat this!" Forrest's sword came back, he yelled with might! He stabbed the beast through its chest area. It howled, falling backwards, dying then fading away.
"Hell yeah! Nobody fucks with Forresttttttt Greeennnnnn!" He emphasized his first and last name broadly. Forrest's sword and shield disappeared.
"That was, uh, interesting to say the least. Please mind your language! But, no doubt you did well! Good job my student! Please return to your seat!" Port said. Forrest bowed as he returned to his seat.
"That wasn't good, nor it was terrible. It was meh," a random female student commented.
"His fighting and swordplay need work," another male student added.
"Nobody fucks with you? We'll see about that," a certain mace-welding dickhead thought that.
Forrest seated himself, then let out a gasp of air. "Sesh, you happy Snow Angel?" His black coloured eyes gazed at blue eyes near him.
"Snow Angel!? Don't call me that! I already got an idiot saying that. On the topic of your fighting, could've been way better. It was sloppy," Weiss replied.
"Eh, at least I killed it, right my dudes?" Forrest asked his team, including Jaune and Pyrrha.
"You did great! Here have a Gold Star!" Ruby spoke, who reached into her pocket. A gold star came out; she then gave it to Forrest.
Forrest took it, "Neat!" He placed it in his right pocket.
"Eh, could've been wayyyyy better! You should've used your fists and beat the shit out of it!" Yang said, who punched the air.
"I would have broken both of my hands! I think watching Dragon Ball Z doesn't teach you how to fight nor use Ki. Meh," Forrest thought.
"Blake what do you thin..." Forrest stared at Blake who was reading now. "Meh," she only said one word. It was better than nothing!
"You did decently, it wasn't bad, nor it was perfect. You need to learn how to use your sword and shield better. You left way too many openings for yourself! But, I see a fighting spirit in you." Pyrrha explained.
"You did great! Hey, tho, want's up with your ring? Are your weapons tie in with your ring?" Jaune asked Forrest who gave a surprised look.
Weiss picked up on this, "Yeah, I also wanna know Forrest," she said.
"Shit, shit, shit! What should I say? I don't know them, nor they know me that well. That's bullshit from me; I already know their backstories and shit. Tell the truth? Not, yet, for now, the sad story approach," Forrest thought.
"I-I don't wanna talk about it," Forrest tried a sad tone. He hates this, but he has no other choice. Hopefully, they buy it.
Good thing, it worked on his team leader, her sister, the red and yellow warriors, not on the cat in disguise or the Ice Queen.
"I am sorry if you don't wanna tell us, it's okay. It was weird for me to ask, we barely know each other," Jaune said.
"Nah fam, it's okay. Let's pay attention in class now," Forrest smiled at Jaune. Who was his favourite character out of everyone!
Forrest rested his head on the desk, not paying attention. Along with his team leader Ruby Rose. Whom was doing her usual things, drawing a picture of Port, horsing around and not paying attention.
Weiss was getting pissed off at the both of them. She had two teammates that don't care at all! A seventeen-year-old, (who is eighteen actually) that makes "fun" of her. A fifteen-year-old leader, who is far too childish!
Forrest, on the other hand, was trying to nap, "Should I stop Weiss getting mad at Ruby? Nah, they need this to grow, nap-time!" Forrest fell asleep.
Unknown Time Later
"GET UP!" Yang shouted into Forrest's right ear, who fastly got up. "Wha-where-how-eh," Forrest had drool leaking down his mouth.
"Gross!" Yang started to laugh her ass off. Blake stood near them, who giggled a bit.
"Yang? Blake?" Forrest got up, who noticed his drool. He turned and quickly wiped it away. "Hm, so, what's happening?" Forrest turned and showcased a blush out of being embarrassed.
"Aw, you're blushing that's cute~ Drool Mouth," Yang said. Great, now Forrest has a nickname "Drool Mouth."
"Shut up, now where is everyone?" Forrest asked the both of them. Only the three of them remained, even the teacher was gone.
"Well Drool Mouth, while you were napping, Weiss fought a Boarbatusk. Who won with the class ending. Ruby ran after her; then they disappeared from us. I don't know where Pyrrha or Vomit Boy is," Yang explained.
Yang and Blake left out a tiny, little detail, which they will tell him later.
"I see, you guys do realize all of us are late for the next class, right?" Forrest said.
"Class? Ahahah, you fell asleep throughout the day, it's 3:30 PM! Every other class that was here didn't wake you up!" Yang explained again.
"Well shit, I guess its shopping-time!" Forrest got up, pushing over his chair. He made his way past his teammates.
"Shopping? You're going shopping at this hour?" Blake asked the surprising action that he declared.
"I need armour; I got the moneyz, my dudes. I'll see you guys later!" Forrest made his way to the entrance. Who left the ladies alone.
.
"I think we should've have told him that Ozpin is looking for him," Blake said. Yang just shrugged it off, "They will find each other."
.
"I see," Blake replied.
Hours Later, Night-Time, Location: Beacon Academy
It turns out Forrest or Ozpin didn't run into each other. Forrest went to the City of Vale for the first time; he would've come back sooner. He got lost, again after again. He needed to call someone to help him; it was the police. Right now Forrest was walking back to Beacon. His arms carried two large black bags, with a red backpack on his back.
"Can't believe this took me hours to get back! At least I bought armour, along with other stuff. Hopefully, I can show off my new shit tomorrow," he thought.
He sighed, he made his way into the courtyard. *ring* *ring*. A beeping sound started from his pocket. "Huh, oh my Scroll," Forrest dropped his stuff.
Forrest took it out; it read, "Unknown Caller," he answered it. "Huh, who is this?" Forrest questioned the caller.
"My, my, my. Did your parents ever tell you never answer to strangers?... Forrest John Green?" A deep male voice said. Forrest's eyes went wide.
"Oh is this!? How do you know my name!?" How do they know him? How did this person know his middle name? Unless...
"You know my middle name. Are you from Earth!?" Forrest shouted into the Scroll. He wanted to know these answers!
"Ah, ah, ah. So many questions, so little time Green. Three days from on. Come to the docks, midnight, come alone. Then I'll "answer" some questions." The connection between them died. It left a beeping sound.
Forrest replaced his Scroll into his pocket. "I don't know I should trust him. Maybe it's the Old Man?" Forrest shrugged, then picked up his bags and left.
Forrest walked for a bit more; he finally arrived at his room. Forrest unlocked the door, not realizing the time. The room was dark, along with Yang and Blake sleeping. Ruby was trying to study, the word "trying" is very loosely. "They finished the room, which means I sleep on the floor great."
Forrest quietly put away his shit, "Hmph, Ruby is studying. Then did her and Weiss talk? Weiss should be coming back wit-" "Forrest?"
Yeah, he was right. He turned around, meeting eyes with Weiss. She was in her sleeping wear and holding a cup of coffee. "Oh hey," Forrest said.
"Where have you been? Why didn't yo-"
"Weiss, let's talk somewhere else."
.
"Fine."
Forrest left Weiss alone to deliver Ruby's coffee. Forrest waited outside, with his arms crossed. "Dew, dew, dew," Forrest muttered.
The door opened. Weiss came out, Forrest never noticed how beautiful she looks. She honestly does look like an angel. "Damn," he thought.
"Okay, Forrest. What now?" Weiss asked our main character.
"Oh yeah, the rooftops. Let's go there," Forrest said. He leads the way; he got lost twice. After a bit, he found it.
The moon was in the air; the air felt cold. Forrest walked near the ledge. Weiss was right beside him, "Now, where have you been!? Yang was trying to phone you all day!" Weiss wanted to go on a rant about stuff.
"Did you make up with Ruby?" Forrest said, not looking her into her eyes.
"What? Answer my questions first!" Weiss demanded from Forrest.
"Yes or no Weiss," Forrest said.
"... Yes, we made up after our class," Weiss replied.
"Good, tell me about it."
"I said some bad things to Ruby and about you, behind your back. I ran into Port and ranted more about you and Ruby. How Ruby was unfit, and you were childish and didn't deserve to be here."
..."Ouch right in the Life Points," Forrest thought. Well, she isn't wrong about him. He didn't deserve to be here; he doesn't know shit about fighting.
"Port said things, that made sense, how much I didn't want to hear it... That I need to be a better teammate to you guys," Weiss explained.
"That's great Weiss! Don't be sorry for your actions. I was childish... And I went shopping afterwards. That was Yang who was phoning me? Huh."
"Hm, so, what did you buy?" Weiss asked.
"It's a secret Weiss, tomorrow for our first day of combat class. Now, you should go to bed; it's late," Forrest said.
"It's not that late! Nevermind me, what about you!" Weiss yelled.
"Don't yell! I'll be fine, now go my friend," Forrest replied.
"... Friend?" Weiss said.
"Oh yeah, she didn't have a friend back then. Asshole dad and brother, when I see them, oh boy, they won't be seeing daylight for a while." Forrest thought.
"Hell yeah, Weiss. We're friends!" Forrest cheerfully said.
"Hmm, okay," Weiss said. She never had a friend before.
"Seeya my dude. I have to think about stuff," Forrest said. He stared at the moon. Weiss shrugged, "Goodnight Forrest," she left him alone.
Soon Forrest was left alone to his thoughts. "Someone knows me, a man. The Old Man? Where is he anywho?... Is he a bad guy? Nah, I should phone Ozpin."
Forrest took out his Scroll and phoned Ozpin. "Mr. Green. I was looking for you earlier. I see, my message-"
"Someone knows me."
.
"What?"
.
"A got a phone call earlier from a man. I don't know if its the Old Man or not. They know me, my middle name." Forrest explained, a hint of worry.
"Come to my office now. We'll discuss this," Ozpin ordered Forrest. Who nodded in response.
"Okay," Forrest hanged up the Scroll. He glared at the darkness around him.
"I need to keep a closer lookout. Have to keep my six in check. I wonder? Is it Salem? Or one of her lieutenants?" Hm," Forrest left.
Not knowing about the future, or what'll happen to him...
