And welcome back to another episode of RWBY evolution and last time, we saw a nice, tender and loving moment between Weiss and Ozzy, also her dad a a MUCH...needed reality check to the fact that Weiss is her OWN young lady but is that the last we will hear of the matter, but more of that later, this is the food fight scene and the introduction of a NEW OC character of mine at the end of the chapter and for those expecting Mercury and/or Emerald to show up, spoiler alert, they will NOT be showing up in this volume the way you think they might show up, but more of that later, right now, let's get into it
Chapter 2 Return of Torchwick
(Lando's P.O.V)
"The new school year has only just begun but the summer was…eventful…to say the least, what with Juane's new powers, Ozzy and Weiss making it official and a dance coming up, it was going good, now that the second years has started, me and the others will be preparing for the Vytal tournament, we plan to own the competition but then there was the plot twister, Team REDD (Red) was coming back to join in the fun, so to speak, Team REDD, like Team STRQ are legends at Beacon academy, many who know them would call them one of the strongest teams Beacon ever trained, Remona White, Evan Blaze and the twins Devon and Dede Rivers, these four are the seemingly perfect combination of speed, power, accuracy and skill and just like STRQ…they have never been defeated as a group, even by the most promising, new teams…Ruby and Yang are confident that we'll win against them, however Blake suggests caution when facing them and Weiss suggests coming up with a "foolproof" plan against them, but more of that later, things were looking up, even our old pal, Sun got into the action and joined Beacon as a first-year student, good to have him on board, other's may see him as a goof ball but I see a friend in him…so long as he keeps away from Blake"
(End of P.O.V)
(Beacon cafeteria)
Ozzy, Lando, Deckard, Weiss, Blake and Yang were enjoying a nice lunch, Lando was working on something for a school project, Yang was catching grapes in her mouth thrown to her by Nora, Weiss was taking notes from Ozzy's research notes they took in their last class, Deckard was playing a game on his scroll and Blake was reading her note book, Lando then noticed her sad look
"Hey, kitty cat, you okay" Lando asked his girlfriend, scooching next to her, she then closed the notebook
"Yeah, sure" She answered
"Blake, you know you can tell me anything, right" He asked her
"I know…I just…I'll tell you when I feel uncomfortable…okay" She asked him
"Alright, I understand" He told her
"Thanks" She replied with a kiss to the cheek, then Ruby and Geo showed up and Ruby flopped a binder in front of the four, on the front was "Best time ever" written over "Property of Weiss Schnee"
"Sisters, friends…Weiss" Ruby stated
"HEY" Weiss stated
"Four score and 7 minutes ago, me and Geo had a dream" Ruby stated
"Didn't you steal that line from Abraham Lincoln" Deckard asked her before he caught a grape that was meant for Yang out of mid-air and ate it, she then looked at him with a fake angry look
"This should be good" Yang stated
"A dream that one day, that the eight of us would come together as not only a team but as a family, and have the most fun that anyone has had EVER" Geo stated
"Wait a minute Ruby, did you steal my binder" Weiss asked her leader
"Trust me, I am not a crook" Ruby told her
"What are you two talking about" Blake asked Geo and Ruby
"I'm talking about kicking off this semester with a bang" Ruby answered
"I always kicked off my semesters with a YANG…eh…guys, get it" Yang asked them as the other four members shook their heads, then an apple hit her in the nose, thanks to Nora who giggled
"I'll be honest Yang…that joke…kind of sucked" Ozzy told her
"AWW" She muttered
"I thought it was funny" Deckard told Yang, lifting her spirit
"Look, guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is gonna be GREAT, but classes resume tomorrow, which is why I've taken the time to schedule exciting events for us to do today" Ruby explained
"I don't know wither to be proud or scared of what you have in store" Weiss stated
"But you can at least agree with her on the point of the tournament, even I'm a little concerned at our competition" Geo stated
"You're concerned" Yang asked Geo
"His concern is well placed in the fact that Team REDD is gonna be here, fighting in the tournament" Lando stated
"I'm with Lando on this one, Team REDD are legends around Beacon" Deckard stated as Yang threw the apple back at Nora
"Ah, come on, I bet you guys can take em" Ruby told Team GOLD
"Wise man once said, Ruby, there is no greater enemy than underestimating your opponent" Geo told her
"He's right, and as for me, I don't care how we spend the school year as long as we spend it as a team, I for one think that" Weiss was about to say before
"I GOT IT" Nora yelled as Weiss was hit in the face with a pie, she then looked to see Nora laughing along with Juane, she then threw the pie back at them to hit Nora in the face
"OOOOOOOOOOOOH" Juane said
"Not good" Rein said
"Oh no" Geo stated
"This is NOT gonna end well" Ozzy added
"Now, Weiss" Ozzy tried to say to Weiss
"Don't you Weiss me" She told him, making him flinch back
"Food fight" Deckard asked his teammates
"Food fight" Geo, Ozzy and Lando answered at once
"Sidelines" Deckard asked
"Sidelines" Geo, Ozzy and Lando answered at once again before they dashed off quickly to the sidelines, out of the way of the food fight that was about to break out
(Outside)
The new comer, Sun was walking with his new friend, Neptune (You all know who he is, once again, if you've watched RWBY) he was being told the story of how he meet Team GOLD and RWBY and he could hardly believe half of what he was being told about Tea, GOLD's incredible skill
"Man, that's some wild story" Neptune told Sun
"It's true, I saw the whole thing with my two eyes, Lando work some-kind of hocus-pocus on the team and they moved so fast that I could barely even see them and their skills in battle, HOLY SHIT" Sun stated
"Really, THAT strong" Neptune asked him
"I know it sounds like something out of someone's imagination but, I swear man, I saw it" Sun told him
"Wow" Neptune muttered
"And, the guys are totally cool around Faunus's, in fact, one of them I think he's dating one" Sun told him
"Now THAT…that, is unbelievable" Neptune stated
"Yeah, they're the coolest man, Geo's level-headed, Ozzy is strong, Lando is smart and Deckard whip-smart, seriously, these guys are the coolest" Sun stated as the two got close to the cafeteria
"Then, why do you sound nervous" Neptune asked him
"Because, these guys are totally the coolest…so…you know, keep it cool when I introduce you to them" Sun told him
"Dude" Neptune stated as Sun looked at him like "I'm cool"
"I got this" Neptune added
"Point taken" Sun replied as they were about to enter the Cafeteria but then students came running out of the cafeteria
"The hell" Sun muttered before the two boys looked inside to see Teams RWBY and JNPR were in a fierce food fight
"HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE, I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE" Nora yelled like a maniac
"Justice will be swift, justice will be pain, it will be DELECIOUS" Ruby yelled as her team backed her up
"YEEEEEEEEEEEAH" Weiss, Blake and Yang yelled (Funniest food fight scene I have EVER seen in anime)
"Should we…help them or something" Lando asked his teammates
"You wanna get in between THAT" Ozzy asked him
"And have to choose with siding with your friends or your girlfriend" Deckard added as Lando saw the fight go on
"On second thought, no" Lando stated
"Thought I love Weiss and like my friends in Team JNPR...I don't wanna be on the receiving end of EITHER of them if I side with the other side" Ozzy added
"Smart call boys" Deckard stated, he then noticed Geo filming the food fight with his scroll
"What the hell are you doing, man" Deckard asked his leader
"Are you REALLY recording this" Lando asked him
"Of course, this is pure funny right here" Geo answered before Sun and Neptune walked up to Team GOLD
"YO, LANDO, WHAT'S UP" Sun asked Lando, the two then greeted each other with a brotherly hug
"Sun, oh many, it's good to see you again, how you been" Lando told him
"DUCK" Deckard told Lando and Sun as he forced them to duck, dodging some tomato's that hit the wall
"What's going on here" Sun asked
"Some crazy-ass shit, that's what's going on" Deckard answered
"Heads up" Ozzy stated as he caught a few canned sodas in his arms
"Thirsty" Ozzy asked Sun and the others
"Oh, thanks, Oz" Sun answered as he, Deckard and Lando took a soda
"Who's your friend here, Sun" Lando asked Sun, motioning to Neptune
"Oh, guys, this is Neptune, he's on my team, Neptune, this is Lando" Sun began the introductions
"How you doing" Lando greeted Neptune with a handshake
"Deckard" Sun continued
"What up, bro" Deckard greeted him
"Ozzy" Sun continued
"Pleasure" Ozzy greeted Neptune
"And Geo" Sun finished
"Welcome to Beacon Neptune, SPAGHETTI AT NINE O'CLOCK" Geo called out as the group ducked some spaghetti coming at them
"Um, aren't you guys gonna stop them" Neptune asked Team GOLD
"Hell NO, I don't wanna choose between my friends and my girlfriend" Lando stated
"Me neither, I would rather stay on the good side of my heiress" Ozzy added
"I don't wanna get in-between this shit" Deckard answered
"And besides, Miss G will probably be showing up in a few minutes or so, but until then, I'm gonna catch a couple of films for future reference" Geo stated, then Yang got knocked into the ceiling and went through it
"OOOOOH" Ozzy, Geo, Lando and Sun grunted
"That had to hurt" Sun stated
"Is she gonna be okay" Neptune asked
"She'll be fine, she's a tough gal" Deckard answered
"Hey, Ozzy, you said heiress, so does that mean that" Sun was about to ask
"If your implying that I'm dating Weiss…then yes…you gotta problem with that" Ozzy asked him
"Well, I would say that I do, because she kind of treated me like shit when we first meet…but seeing as how I don't want you to kick my head off, I'm gonna say, no, no I don't have a problem with you dating Weiss, whatsoever" Sun answered
"You better not, I've already got a belly full from the peanut gallery here" Ozzy told him as he pointed to his teammates
"You guys been dissing him about him and Weiss" Sun asked Team GOLD
"If you guys value your ball sacks...DON'T...ANSWER THAT" Ozzy told his teammates as they remained silence with sweat marks on their foreheads, Geo then saw Ruby about to do something crazy
"OH SHIT, HIT-THE-DECK" Geo yelled as he, his team and Sun hit the ground as Ruby sped by them, training a bunch of stuff behind her, this ended the foot fight, Team GOLD and Sun then stood back up
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" Deckard yelled, Geo then walked up to Ruby and grabbed her left wrist with his right hand
"And the winner by an incredible display of power and speed, the one, the only, the beautiful and funny, RUBY ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE" Geo yelled as he raised Ruby's hand up in victory, she blushed as she heard Geo call her beautiful, Ozzy, Lando and Deckard clapped for Ruby
"I…LOVE these guys" Sun told Neptune, who was covered in food, eventually, Glynda came in and with a wave of her whip, she set everything back to the way it was before the madness broke out
"Children…please, don't play with your food" She told them, the room was silent before Yang crashed down, but Deckard caught her bridal style
"Quiet the flight you took there, goldilocks" Deckard told Yang, calling her by a nickname he gave her
"Quiet the catch, ninja boy" She replied with a wink before Deckard sat her on her feet
"Come on Miss G, it was just a little fun" Geo told her
"Yeah, things just got a little…heated" Ozzy added before Juane burped VERY loud, making the others laugh
"Judges give that a TEN" Deckard said he and Juane high-fived each other, Glynda looked like she was about to pop her top, but Ozpin showed up and placed his hand on her shoulder
"They are supposed to be this world's protectors" Glynda told him
"I know…and they will be, but for now, they are just children, let them play the part before they grow out of it…you were once the same, if my memory serves me right" Ozpin told her as she sighed, she then looked at Geo, still recording
"Please, tell me you're not recording this, Mister Thawn" Glynda told Geo
"Why not, that's what the internet is for, right and besides…that was just laugh out loud funny" Geo told her, she then sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose
(A few weeks later)
As the weeks rolled by, General Ironwood came to Beacon to talk with Ozpin about security measures for the tournament and he called up Team GOLD up to his office for a little chat
"Ah, you're all here, good" Ozpin stated as Team GOLD entered his office
"You called, we answered, professor O" Geo answered
"These are the young men you told me so much about, Ozpin" Ironwood asked Ozpin
"Yes, Ironwood, this is Team GOLD, Geo Thawn, Ozzy Scarlatina, Lando Atmos and Deckard Moon" Ozpin introduced Team GOLD to the general as he walked over to Ozzy
"Mister Scarlatina, I heard from Jacque Schnee that you gave the Silver knight quiet the thrashing" Ironwood told Ozzy
"You fought the Silver knight" Deckard asked Ozzy as he, Lando and Geo looked at the heavy kicker
"I'll explain later, yes sir, I fought the Silver knight and he fought well" Ozzy answered
"Hmm, impressive, I have seen him fight before and from what I've heard you shattered his supposedly unbreakable, osmium armor, the hardest metal in the world…most impressive" Ironwood told Ozzy
"Thank you, sir" Ozzy replied
"At any rate, I called you all up here for a reason" Ozpin stated
"Which is, Professor Ozpin" Lando asked Ozpin
"I think I can explain, Ozpin told me about that incident with the Zergain mask not too long ago and from the sound of the tale you told, you four can get the job done…which brings me to this I have an assignment for you four" Ironwood told the team
"Assignment" Deckard asked him
"Mister Thawn, I assume that you are familiar with this man" Ironwood asked Geo as he showed an image of a man that he was familiar with
"Roman Torchwick, what about him" Geo asked the general
"He's been spotted making trouble once again around Vale…given your incredible performance in the past when dealing with a…sensitive matter, I would like yours and your teams help in taking him in" He told Geo
"Oh, great…what's he done this time" Geo asked Ironwood
"We're not sure yet, but just in case any of you are thinking "why don't I just send in my own troops to capture him", well, with the tournament coming up and security measures stretching my forces too thin, I was hoping that you and your team could see what he's up to and if possible, take him in" Ironwood explained
"Feels like I'm in the armed forces" Deckard told the general
"No, none of you are being drafted, consider this as asking for a favor" Ironwood told them
"And, who brought us to your attention, sir" Lando asked him as someone else entered the room
"That would be me" A female voice came from behind the team, they looked to see a familiar face
"Good to see you again Ozzy" Winter told Ozzy
"Well, well, well, Winter Schnee, it's good to see you again" Ozzy told Weiss's older sister
"Schnee…as in" Lando was about to ask
"Weiss's older sister" Ozzy answered
"Oh, so you've meet" Ironwood asked him
"Yes, we had the pleasure of meeting when me and Weiss visited her father to…disguise a personal matter" Ozzy explained
"So, you two are acquainted, good, because, she will be accompanying you four on your search for Torchwick" Ironwood told them
"I'm sorry, what" Geo asked him
"You heard him, you four are partnered with me on this little assignment, where you four go, I go" Winter told Team GOLD
"With respect, Ironwood, Torchwick is a dangerous criminal and he's" Geo was about to say before Winter pulled out her sword and held it against his neck
"If you're saying that I can't handle myself against a common criminal, then you'll be needing a new face" Winter told him, she then felt something at her stomach, and it was Geo holding Salvation up to her torso
"Careful, I got an itchy trigger finger" Geo told her
"Geo, stand down" Ozpin told him
"You as well, Winter" Ironwood told her, they both lowered their weapons
"I say we let her come along, if Ironwood says she's got what it takes, let's show some trust" Lando suggested
"If she's anything like Weiss, no doubt she's got some spring in her step" Ozzy added
"So…will you four take the job" Ironwood asked them, Geo thought about it for a second before he answered
"Under two conditions" Geo told him
"Name them" Ironwood answered
"First, with respect, sir, none of us are one of your soldiers, so we don't need someone barking orders in our ears and, second, were gonna need more hands-on deck for this investigation" Geo told Ironwood
"More hands, more soldiers" Ironwood asked
"More like, we want Team RWBY to help us" Deckard stated
"I agree, you eight seem to work extremely well together" Ozpin agreed with the second condition
"You wish to bring them in on this investigation" Ironwood asked
"If you agree to those two conditions, then Winter can tag along…so long as she can keep up" Geo stated
"Hold you up, I am more than capable of pulling my own weight" Winter told Geo, poking his chest with her right finger
"Actions speak louder than words, these days, my point being, me and my team have a pretty, dame good system that works, you either keep up with us…or, you get left behind" He explained to her
"Oh, I can keep up" She told him
"I like her confidence, no doubt, Weiss shares it" Lando stated
"That ain't the only thing she shares" Deckard muttered only for Ozzy to elbow him in the ribs
"We'll take the case, so long as we have an agreement on those conditions" Geo told Ironwood, he then walked up to Geo and held out his hand to him
"Terms, acceptable" Ironwood answered as he and Geo shook hands
"We'll set out in an hour, be ready, Winter" Geo told her, she nodded
"Ironwood, Ozpin, good day" Geo told them before he and his team left
"Quiet the characters, aren't they" Ironwood asked Ozpin
"There is no one in this school quiet like Team GOLD…nor, I image there ever will be in the next hundred years" Ozpin answered
(1 hour later)
Geo, Ozzy, Lando and Deckard laid it all down to team RWBY, that they were to track down Roman Torchwick and find out what he's doing in Vale again, both teams prepared themselves, also Sun and Neptune came along for the ride
"Hell, no" Winter told Geo
"Hey, Sun is a reliable friend and he's been on the streets long enough to know at least a couple of people with loose lips" Lando defended Sun and Neptune from Winter's objection about bring them along
"You mean the street rabble" Winter asked him
"Hey, they may not be much for manners but their pretty handy in a fight or for information and I know a couple of old friends that might have something for us" Sun told him
"And what connections does Neptune have" Winter asked
"Well…technically, I don't" Neptune stated
"But, look at it this way, eleven pairs of eyes and ears are better than nine" Deckard told Winter, she still looked like she wasn't convinced
"Winter, trusts them" Weiss told her big sister, she rolled her eyes and sighed
"Very well…but, if they hold us up…I'll kill em myself" Winter told him, making Sun and Neptune gulp
"That won't happen" Ozzy told her, Geo and Ruby then addressed their teams
"Alright, here's what we got, with some info, provided to us by Ironwood and Winter, we know that Torchwick has been seen around Vale for the last couple of weeks, our objective, find out what he's up to and if possible, take him into custody, we'll each split up into teams with your own assignments, Ruby and Weiss" Geo said
"We're off to the CCT to check the Schnee company records and see if there's been any recent dust robbery's or inconsistencies, seeing as how I'm in the family, we should get access easily" Weiss answered
"Blake and Sun" Geo said
"The white fang has regular, faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members, if me and Sun can get in, we can hopefully find out what their planning" Blake answered
"Yang and Neptune" Geo said
"I know someone on the shady side of town who knows practically EVERYTHING going on in Vale, getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard" Yang answered
"Ozzy and Winter" Geo said
"We'll patrol via the rooftops and keep an eye out for any trouble, if anything looks fishy, we'll call it in" Ozzy answered
"Lando and Deckard" Geo said
"We'll patrol down by the docks, just in-case the guy is stupid enough to try and come back the same way he came last time" Deckard stated
"Thought, he probably won't be that stupid" Lando added
"Good then" Geo stated
"Let's get a move on" Winter told them as they moved out but Deckard and Lando pulled Sun and Neptune over to a spot, away from the others for a minute
"WHOA, what's up guys" Sun asked Deckard and Lando
"Sun, your heading out with Blake and I trust you as a friend but" Lando was about to say
"I get it you two are a thing, I am full aware of that, I'll keep my hands off her
"You and Yang the same" Neptune asked Deckard
"Well…no" Deckard answered
"Then what's the" Neptune was about to ask before Deckard drew Grimm reaper in Mode 1 and held the blade under Neptune's family jewels, making him shudder
"But I really, REALLY like her…I want you word that you'll keep your sexual remarks and your hands off of Yang" Deckard told Neptune
"Same goes for you, Sun" Lando told Sun
"Come on man, you REALLY think I would do that, you and I are buddies" Sun told Lando
"That's good…because if she tells me that you've been touching her or if she feels like you've been moving in on her, then I'll feed you to my Familiar wolves and let them use your bones as a chew toy" Lando told Sun
"Same goes for you, Neptune only instead of a chew toy, I'll take Grimm reaper and you'll NEVER have to open your zipper again, GOT IT" Deckard told Neptune
"CRYSTAL, CRYSTAL CLEAR" Neptune shuddered before Deckard removed Grimm reaper from its target and ran to catch up with the others
(Later)
Winter provided the teams earpieces to keep in touch with each other and they separated to look for clues to Torchwick's location or his plans in Vale, after four hours, they only found rumors and whisperings, right now, Winter and Ozzy were looking over the city from a high point
"Ozzy, you and Winter got anything" Geo called from Ozzy's earpiece
"We haven't seen or heard anything yet" Ozzy answered
"Nothing on that end, huh, anything from the others" Geo asked
"Just a whole lot of nothing" Ozzy answered
"Shit…okay, keep me posted, if nothing turns up in the next thirty minutes, we'll call it a night" Geo stated before hanging up
"Anything" Winter asked Ozzy
"Nothing" Ozzy answered
"Dame it, nothing…four hours and not a dame thing" Winter stated
"Be patient, Winter, Torchwick will turn up eventually" Ozzy told her
"Not one of my strong suits when it comes to stakeouts" Winter told her
"Well get him…you have my word on it" Ozzy told her as he to leaned on the railing
"On a completely different note, how is your father taking not having a rich, son-in law" Ozzy asked her
"Oh…he was FURIOUS when you won the Nex Sacamentum, he's still fuming about it" Winter answered
"He started it…I simply finished it" Ozzy told her, after a few seconds of silence, Winter spoke up
"I wanted to thank you" She told him
"For what" He asked her
"For giving Weiss her freedom…risking your life for her…it was like a scene from one of those movies, I used to watch as a little girl, a brave and honorable knight, swooping in and rescuing the fair maiden" Winter stated, making Ozzy chuckle
"Listen to me, I sound like I'm a nine-year old again" Winter stated
"But, doesn't every girl want to meet their knight and have their happily ever after" Ozzy asked her
"I suppose…but, being Ironwoods highest ranking enforcer, doesn't give me the time to go out and date…hell, even if I did find one, they would probably run for the hills" She told him
"Why" He asked her
"I'm a disciplined, well-mannered, and above all, high-ranking woman…most men would rather run away from me than date me" She answered
"Well, there ARE more gutsy men out there, you know…you just gotta know where to look" Ozzy told her
"And where might they be, if you don't mind me asking" She asked him
"You should have been around the village I grew up in, there was this guy, named Rorick and he was REALLY popular with the ladies…though, none of them ever caught his attention" Ozzy told her
"Hmm…what's he look like" She asked him
"You won't have a problem that he's a Faunus" He asked her
"Well, seeing that your really nice and treat everyone the same as you treat your own, I'm inclined to listen" She told him
"Well…he's a snow leopard Faunus, white hair, icy blue eyes and fairly dark skin…mmm, a little taller than you, really cool guy…and, he was raised by humans" He told her
"Wh-really" She asked him
"Yeah, he knows that not all humans are good…but he knows the good one's when he sees one, I got a letter from him telling me that he's planning on joining the Vale guard" Ozzy told her
"Is that so" She replied
"Yep" Ozzy answered
"Well, if he does make it, this sounds like a guy I would love to meet" Winter replied, after a few minutes of silence, Winter spoke up
"Ozzy, Weiss seems to be really happy around you" She told him
"She makes me happy to" He replied
"But you better be sure not to break her heart or" She was about to say
"You'll break my everything" Ozzy asked
"You got it" She told him, Ozzy then saluted her and stood-up straight
"YES MA'AM" Ozzy replied, making her laugh a bit
"But, answer me this, Winter and please, don't take this the wrong way but, is your dad ALWAYS that much of a" Ozzy was about to ask
"A jerk" She asked him
"I was gonna say something else, but that works to" Ozzy stated
"Our father can be a little…rough around the edges" Winter started
"Winter…do you honestly believe that your father would simply keep his word" Ozzy asked her, Winter has known for longer than Weiss how their father can be but, Ozzy spoke the truth
"You…have a point but, he's still our father" Winter stated
"He's got a stick up his ass, he thinks that he can do anything and be totally immune because of his power, money and influence, those with power have to have respect for it, otherwise, their nothing but tyrants" Ozzy told her
"Wow…Weiss was right, you sure do have a way with words" Winter stated
"I'm a lot more than just talk, you know" Ozzy told her
"Hmm…I'll say" Winter muttered, then Winter's earpiece then went off
"This is Winter" Winter called
"Winter, it's Blake" Blake answered from the other side
"Is Sun behaving himself" Lando was heard from the other line
"Don't worry, he's been a good boy, but we're about to go into one of the meetings for the white fang, I thought you all might want to hear what they're saying" Blake told him, the others then linked their earpieces together Winter so they all could
(Blake and Sun)
Blake and Sun walked into the warehouse where many Faunus's were gathered and all of them were wearing Grimm masks to hide their faces
"Thank you for coming, for those of you joining us for the first time, let me introduce a special comrade of ours, I assure you, he is the key to obtaining what we have fought to take for SO long" The Faunus on the stage began as a familiar face showed up, Roman Torchwick and a new comer, a girl with Neon ice cream colored hair (Neo)
"Oh shit" Sun muttered
"What, what is it" Geo asked from the earpieces
"It's Torchwick, he's here" Blake answered
"What, working with the white fang" Winter asked
"Shh, I wanna hear this" Ozzy stated
"Thank you, thank you for your warm welcome and please, hold your applause" Roman stated as the crowd booed him
"WHAT'S A HUMAN DOING HERE" A random, girl Faunus shouted
"I'm glad you asked dearie, now, I'll be the first to admit, humans…are THE WORST, case in point, so, I understand why you would want to see us all locked away…or, better yet…killed, but I'd like to point out that you all and I have a common enemy, the one's in control, the one's pulling the strings, the dirty, rotten humans who run our kingdom" Roman stated
"He loves hearing himself talk" Winter stated
"And all of probably a bunch of bullshit" Deckard was heard as Torchwick continued
"Government, military, even the schools, their all to blame for your lot in life and they are all pests that need to be dealt with…and I…am the best exterminator around…no offence to any rodents in the room" Roman stated as he unveiled what was behind a huge curtain, a mech robot (You all know which one)
"Oh, double shit" Sun muttered
"What now" Geo asked
"He's got mech suit, I see the numbers 593" Blake answered
"The Olympus XR593" Winter and Deckard stated at the same time
"You guys know what they're talking about" Lando asked
"Ironwood's latest model, used for combating the more, non-Grimm enemies on the battlefield, the deadliest model he created yet" Winter explained
"How deadly are we talking about" Ruby asked
"Mini gun that's spewing out two-thousand rounds of armor-piercing bullets, a couple of badass, lock-on missile launchers, extendable, hyper-heated sword that can cut through other mechs in half…so, yeah, pretty fucking deadly" Deckard answered
"Wait, how did he" Winter was about to ask Ozzy
"He's a tech guy, he knows machines" Ozzy answered
"Okay then, but how did he even get his hands on one, there not even past the drawing board state yet" Winter stated
"Then…he must be getting help from the inside, Blake, Sun, get the hell out of there, NOW" Geo told them as the new recruits were forcing the two to step forward, then Roman spotted them
*Wait a minute* Roman muttered to himself
"He see's us, how are we gonna get out of here" Sun asked Blake, she then looked around and spotted a power box
"He can't see in the dark" Blake stated as she shot the power box, sending the place into a panic
"DON'T LET THOSE TWO GET AWAY" Roman shouted
"SUN, THE WINDOW" Blake yelled
"I'M GOING" Sun shouted as the two managed to get out despite the guards trying to stop em but out the mech suit smashed through the walls of the warehouse and started to chase them
"I HOPE YOU GOT SOME TYPE OF BACKUP IN MIND" Sun yelled to Blake as they took to the rooftops as the Roman gave chase
"ON IT" She replied as she called in for help
"EVERYONE, WE NEED BACKUP" Blake yelled into the earpieces
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP" Sun yelled as well
"Where are you guys" Geo asked
"671972 degrees West, by 44.50177 degrees North, heading West" Blake answered
"Yeah, that Torchwick guy has a HUGE mech and he's on our asses" Sun answered
"EVERYONE, TO ACTION" Geo shouted called out as he jumped off of a rooftop he was standing on
"LET'S GO" Deckard told Lando as Lando conjured his transparent cloud and Deckard leapt on it before the two took off
"Shall we" Ozzy asked Winter
"Let's go" She replied before the two leapt off the rooftop
(The bridge)
Sun and Blake were jumping from one car or truck to the next, trying to avoid Torchwick as he bulldozed through everything in his path, meanwhile Yang and Neptune were behind them on Yang's motorcycle, Bumblebee
"WE GOTTA SLOW THAT THING DOWN" Yang shouted to Neptune who rode behind him
"ON IT" Neptune yelled as he drew his plasma shooter gun and fired at the mech to slow it down enough for him to leap onto it and deal more damage with his gun turned into a trident, Sun then looked back while on a truck and summoned two holo-clones using his aura to attack the mech's legs but it shook them off, Sun tried to attack it with his collapsible staff but the mech swiped him and Neptune off of him and the bridge
"SUN AND NEPTUNE ARE DOWN" Yang yelled
"I'm on it" Weiss stated as she ran over a smaller bridge over the main one and leapt down to the main bridge, she then equipped herself with her rapier
"I got him" Weiss stated as Blake and Yang went past her, she then used her dust to make the road under her into an ice slide which threw Roman off balance and he feel below the several bridges, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang then dropped down to the same level
"Well, well, well, look who we have here" Roman stated
"You took the words right out of my mouth, cigarette breath" Ruby replied
"Now…surrender or you'll get what's coming to you" Weiss told him
"Don't make me laugh, without that bastards on Team GOLD in my way, you whores are nothing but" Roman was about to say till something crashed into him and sent him flying backwards into one of the pillars holding up the bridge's, it was the energy dragon Lando could summon, Team GOLD then walked up behind Team RWBY with Winter behind them
"What the" Roman muttered as his mech stood up
"You DARE…I mean you DARE to call out ladies WHORES" Geo snapped as he drew Salvation and Damnation
"If you call my heiress that again, I'll do MORE than kick your ass" Ozzy stated, activating his Titan stompers
"I would be the voice of reason…but those who insult my girl must PAY" Lando stated as he drew Dragon fang
"You know, someone should really teach you how to talk to a lady, but I'm more than happy to BEAT THEM INTO YOU" Deckard added as he drew Grimm reaper and entered Mode 4
"Ah, I was wondering where you four would show up, I must say that was some display of power when I hired Farbros" Torchwick stated
"If we wanted your compliments, we would BEAT it out of you" Lando said
"And I believed my heiress asked you nicely to surrender" Ozzy told him
"Even you four are no match for the Olympus" Roman told Team GOLD
"Take your best shot you gangster reject" Deckard told Roman as he shot him the bird
"WHY YOU" Roman growled as his mech charged at them
"What do you guys think, wanna go for a fifty-seven" Geo asked his teammates
"Nah, I'd rather go with a seventy-five" Ozzy suggested
"Your both wrong, a nineteen would be best" Lando said
"No, no and no…what goes good here is a good, old fashion…twenty-two" Deckard stated as Roman got closer, the three other members of GOLD then looked at each other
"Hmm, good thought" Geo stated
"I'm okay with that" Ozzy answered
"Then, it's in agreement, let's go for it" Lando stated as he stepped forward and summoned what looked like an average, magician's hat
"What's that" Winter asked Team RWBY
"Lando has MANY tricks up his sleeve, watch" Blake said
"An average, every day, magician's hat, useless to many…but in the hands of a magician" Lando said before he reached into the hat and pulled out a magician's scarf and lashed outwards at Roman's mech and it wrapped around it's legs and then turned into steel bands
"WHAT" Roman yelled before he tripped and went tumbling forward, Team GOLD then moved out of the way
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen" Lando stated as he put away his magician hat as Geo, Ozzy and Deckard clapped for him
"He did THAT with magic" Winter asked Blake
"It's just his own thing" Blake answered, Geo then conjured up construct hands and they grabbed Roman's mech before lifting it off the ground
"Up for a spin" Geo asked before he made the construct hands spin the mech on the tip of the right hand's pointer finger like a basketball
"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA" Roman yelled before the hand he was spinning on suddenly tossed him up in the air and Ozzy whined-up for something
"Ozzy Scarlatina whines-up for the final shot in the game" Deckard said before the mech came down and Ozzy sprinted towards it and jumped before doing a left spin in a kick that sent the mech in-between two huge pillars
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL" Deckard yelled, the restraints on Roman's mech then vanished
"And THAT is how you kick it" Ozzy stated, Roman's mech then stood up
"Oh…oh…MMM" Roman muttered before he the cock pit opened and Roman threw up over the side from what he went through
"EEW" Ruby stated
"And there she blows" Deckard stated
"UH…you SO gonna pay for that one" Roman said before his cock pit closed again, then Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang stepped forward
"You guys don't mind if we teach him how to talk to ladies, do you" Yang asked the boys
"Not at all" Geo answered
"As you wish" Ozzy added
"Very well" Lando added
"Kick his ass" Deckard stated, Team GOLD stepped back
"He's SO dead" Ozzy stated
"What, you guys aren't gonna help em" Winter asked Team GOLD
"Oh, trust us…Roman is gonna get his ass kicked" Geo said
"Let them have their moments…Roman needs to learn how to respect women anyway" Lando added, Team RWBY then stepped up to bat
"RUBY, CALL IT" Weiss told Ruby
"FREEZER BURN" Ruby called as Weiss used her dust to create a thick coating of ice on the ground and Yang punched it so hard that the ice was turned into thick, white mist, covering the field, the four girls then disappeared, Roman searched for them but he couldn't find them, suddenly, he spotted something and blasted away but missed only for Ruby to strike back with her scythe but did little
"Checkmate" Ruby called as Weiss and Blake worked together in a rushing combo of attacks to the mech's feet and legs, knocking it back but it powered through them and fired missiles in response, Blake and Weiss backflipped several times out of the way Weiss then casted a glyph under Blake, infusing her with energy as Roman fired more missiles but Blake lashed out with fissures of energy from her twin sword, slicing all of them in half and posed
"Ladybug" Ruby called as she rushed to the mech with a wide range of slice attacks, joined by Blake, they even sliced off the left arm of the mech, Yang came in and jumped on it, pumbling on it with her fists, Roman then backed up into three pillars, smashing her through two and impacted on the third, knocking her off, then while in mid-air, Roman punched her through a fourth pillar but she used her aura to absorb the kinetic energy
"YANG" Blake stated
"Don't worry, with each hit, she gets stronger and she uses that energy to fight back" Ruby told her as the mech went in for another hit until Yang caught the huge fist with her aura's strength, she then shattered the whole arm used to hit her in a single hit, Roman then kicked her away but
"BUMBLEBEE" Ruby yelled as Blake tossed her ribbon sickle at Yang which she grabbed, Blake pulled, and Yang boosted herself with a kinetic blast of her gauntlets to kick the mech, staggering it
"We have to slow it down" Ruby stated
"And how do you propose we do that" Weiss asked her
"Ice flower" Ruby answered as she readies her scythes gun and with some help from Weiss's glyphs she enhanced the bullets fired by Ruby to incase the mech in chunks of ice, Blake then gave her ribbon one more tug and with one more boost from Yang, she shattered the huge mech in a single hit, leaving Roman unprotected
"Incredible" Winter stated in amazement
"THAT'S OUR GIRLS" Geo yelled
"HELL YEAH" Deckard yelled as well as Ozzy clapped and Lando smirked
"Dame it…I just got this thing cleaned" Roman stated, dusting himself off, Yang fired a kinetic blast but was blocked by a newcomer to the fight
"Huh" Winter muttered, looking at Neo
"Ladies, gentlemen…Ice queen" Roman told them
"HEY" Weiss stated at the mention of her hated nickname
"Always a pleasure…Neo, if you would" Roman told Neo as she bowed to the group, Yang then powered forward for a punch but on impact, it was like shattering a glass mirror
"An illusion" Lando muttered as Neo and Roman were seen escaping in a chopper as Team GOLD and Winter joined the group
"What just happened" Winter asked
"Illusion semblance…I've seen it before, they have the ability to transcend what we think we see but it has a limit" Lando answered
"An illusion" Blake asked him
"Yes, and it appears that Torchwick has wised up and got himself a new henchman or henchwoman" Lando stated
"Yeah, I guess she really made our plans…fall apart" Weiss joked, making Ozzy and Winter laugh but the others grunt
"No…just…no" Blake stated as she turned to walk away
"What, but, Yang does it" Weiss stated
"There's a time and a place for jokes" Yang answered
"Oh yeah, was THIS not the time" Weiss asked Yang as the blond brawler turned to walk away
"No, it just wasn't very good" Yang answered
"Uh, I give the joke a five out of ten" Deckard told her
"For once…I agree with the joker" Lando stated
"OH, COME ON" Weiss replied as Ozzy came up to her
"Everyone's a critic, Weiss, I thought that was funny…and at least she's trying to lighten up" Ozzy told the others before kissing her forehead
"Thank you, my little bunny, at least I have your support" Weiss replied before she jumped on his back and he automatically grabbed a hold of her legs before walking off with the others
"Who do you think she was" Ruby asked Geo
"Not sure…but she obviously knows what she's doing, were gonna have to be more careful if we try anything like this again" Geo stated
"I agree, this is most disturbing and Roman got away" Winter stated
"Don't worry, Winter, we'll get him, think about it this way, guys like Roman have to be in total control of not only their group but also their tempura when they get pissed off too much, they make mistakes" Lando told her
"And when he does make a mistake, we'll take him" Deckard stated
"So, for now, we wait" Ozzy stated
"Yeah, the guy is sure to show back up…sooner or later" Geo added
(Unknown location)
Roman was steaming at the lose of his mech and the potential to get the White fang in on his plan down the drain
"I can't BELIEVE this shit…that mech coast me a FORTUNE to get and those damned heroes shattered it into pieces" Roman said before Neo tried to calm him down
"GET AWAY FORM ME" Roman shouted before he shoved her away from him
"Now, now, now, Roman, calm yourself" A female voice called out, Roman then looked to see a white-skinned female with black hair (Cinder Falls)
"If you can't deliver, don't take it out on Neo…take it out on your enemies" Cinder stated
"Easier said than done, my dear, especially since that BOY that we ran into the night we robbed that Dust store was there" Roman told her
"WHAT" Cinder asked him
"THAT DAMNED BOY FROM THE ROOFTOP WAS THERE, him and these other boys" Roman said
"That boy that turned my own Dust against me…I thought Farbros took care of them on Menagerie" Cinder said
"Speaking of Farbros, I haven't seen him around in a while, where the hell is he" Roman asked
"The Tin man…the mistress was, shall we say…unhappy how things went with the Mask incident and she's been busy making sure he doesn't fail her again in the future" Cinder explained
"She reduced his payment" Roman asked her, she then smirked and nodded once
"For a mercenary for hire, that must hurt more than any punishment she can dish out on him" Roman said, Cinder then stepped up to Roman
"And you would know, being the, smooth-talker you are" She asked him, stroking his chest and shoulders, making Neo steam a little in jealousy
"Among other things…but with Farbros on the sidelines for a while, who's gonna be our insurance policy if those brats show up again" Roman asked Cinder
"Oh…I wouldn't worry about them for much longer, handsome" She told him as she slightly licked the tip of his nose, which made Neo REALLY steamed and pushed her away from Roman
"Neo, manners" Roman told Neo as she crossed her arms
"AWWW, I think little miss ice-cream head is a little jealous of my invasion of your…personal space, but back to the question of insurance, the mistress is bringing in someone new, someone who will be more than a match for these heroes should they get in our way again…someone BETTER than Farbros" Cinder explained
"Who" Roman asked
"An old friend of hers owed her a favor and sent his best agent to aid us" Cinder said before she guested to the shadows and a shadowy figure stepped out of the darkness, covered from head to toe, in ninja-like garbs with an air gun-like weapon on the figure's back and covering the face of the figure was a black, Oni mask
"Hmm, ninja entrance much" Roman stated
"Roman, Neo, this is Hanzo, one of the deadliest of his profession" Cinder introduced Hanzo
"Is your boss still hiring people who can't deliver their end of the bargain" Roman stated as he was inhaling some of his cigar smoke but then Hanzo acted so fast that he didn't appear to move at all and he threw a ninja star which cut the cigar in half, imbedding itself in a wall across from Hanzo
"Are you still chewing on cheap cigars" Hanzo asked with a muffled voice, Roman then spat the cigar out of his mouth
"Hmm, not bad, but how is he better than Farbros" Roman asked Cinder
"You'll see…just be ready, the mistress has much more for us to do" Cinder replied before the view switches to the eyes behind the Oni mask of Hanzo and his eyes are seen as grey but then they turned to pure yellow and had a black slender on them
A guy with those kinds of eyes cannot mean ANYTHING good, anyway, that's the second chapter and I think it went rather well, but who is this man, this Hanzo you may ask and what does his eyes mean for our heroes, you'll have to find out in the third chapter and you guys better put on your best suits for a fancy party, because it's time for a dance and we all know what that means
Stay humble and kind and spread love, not hate, see ya'll next Wednesday or Thursday
