Necros: I felt like writing the next chapter, and don't worry I won't stop with The Return of the Evolving Dragon or any of the other stories as well, I do have another idea for another crossover between AGK and HDXD.
ATCM Room.
To say that Tatsumi realized his position he knew he would never win and let them go first or had to be the early bird to use the shower, he just realized that he had to share a room with 3 girls and all of them didn't seem to tolerate anything that is disgusting. Lucky for them Tatsumi is very well behaved and knew what he had to do since his mother taught him everything, from cooking to cleaning and he enjoyed it all especially using every part of fish and organs of animals to make them into a delicious and nutritious meal.
Life outside the menagerie was hard for a Faunus to even get a decent meal or house to live in, all the humans did were nothing to help them at all despite their rights for many things. Fairies were their only hope and improvement of life for the Faunus.
"I don't know what they would like for breakfast but I think Mine and Chelsea would something sweet and light, so pancakes and waffles with strawberries, light honey, and self-made cream!" said Tatsumi to himself as he made breakfast as he did at home since he wakes up at 6:30 in the morning. "And for some weird reason Akame, I think that you would like some meat in the morning...which is odd so I am going for Bacon and Eggs along with some potatoes,"
There was another difference and that was the portions and that of Akame's was quite huge, a small mountain and Tatsumi didn't use his money since in the Emerald Forest was plenty of Wild untouched, and all of them of nice quality giving it a bit of a wild taste that was downed a little. How they didn't wake up to the delicious smell of breakfast was because the transparent lid was put over it.
"Time for the gentle wake-up!" said Tatsumi removing the lid as the visible tentacles of smoke reached to their destined eaters and entered their nostrils, and the effect was quite amusing as the girl's eyes snapped open and robotically sat straight. "Breakfast is ready!"
"Well, aren't you a gentleman~!" said Chelsea sultrily as she teasing said it closely to his ear making him blush.
"T-The honor goes to my mom who raised me good!" said Tatsumi a bit too quicker than he intended to.
Akame smirked and she knew that her team would have a lot of fun teasing the hell out of Tatsumi, she would definitely join in and stood behind him and hugged him pressing her breast purposely on his back. "What a dependable man we have here~! I should reward you for this~!"
"I-I don't h-have to be-!" Mine then silenced him with her pointing finger and shushed him.
"You know you can't win, so don't try to fight it," whispered Mine.
"S-So you mean it?" asked Tatsumi now very unsure and Akame blew on his ear making his face even redder when she suggested something that made him look like cherry red, he quickly excuses himself that he needs to do something and left the room and the laughing of the 3 girls was very clear.
"But did you seriously mean that?" asked Mine wanting to be sure what Akame whispered.
"Yes, I would do it with pleasure~!" said Akame with no joking in her voice making Mine blush a little and Chelsea did the same but gave a sly smile.
"Is there a place free?" asked Chelsea suggestingly wiggling her eyebrows.
As they continued talking Tatsumi was still outside but him being Faunus made it easy for him to hear them, but unfortunately for him, he heard everything and steam puffs were coming out of his head and he immediately headed to the toilets to splash some cold water in his face. "I need a cold shower on the first day of school! Hopefully this commenting only is in the room!"
Yeah, he jinxed himself right there since a cold rilling went from his back to his neck.
"I should check on the others," said Tatsumi as he went to the room of JNPR worried about Jaune since he gave obvious hints about not being properly trained on despite the good skills he displayed as a leader, just knowing the comrades he had to rely and work together with for a few minutes and already accessing strategies. But obviously despite him blocking a Deathstalker's strike was a mere reflex and imitation of Pyrrha's blocking, he didn't like threatening but Jaune was one of those people that were raised in a family that was a line of heroes, and would end up knowing what the horrors are since he didn't know Pyrrha and even Faunus in the menagerie knew her and they didn't have any TV's and such.
"Obviously he is from the countryside and must have an overprotective family that didn't want him to come here, otherwise he should've recognized the Deathstalker's stinger before being thrown across the Emerald Forest," he was sure that some of the others knew like Ren, Pyrrha, Akame, Mine, Chelsea, and Ruby as well but none of them seemed to be like wanting to betray Jaune. "Let's see what kind of guy he is, but I predict that he is stubborn,"
Knocking on the door of Team JNPR he didn't receive an answer and got his nail out and unlocked the door and deadpanned at what he saw, Ren, and Pyrrha slept normally and Nora was snoring with a smile, but what made him deadpan was Jaune in his onesie snoring like a baby with drool leaking out of his mouth. "Dear Oum, he is really a mom's child,"
"Jaune, wake up, you need to eat and get your clothes on before lessons," shaking the blond-haired boy who made a face and shook Tatsumi's hand of his shoulder.
"No mom! 5 more minutes~!" whined Jaune.
"I'm not your mom, I can't be even one so wake up now,"
"But I'm tired~!"
"Last chance before I use a suplex on you,"
"...What's a suplex mom~? UAAAH!" shouted Jaune as Tatsumi did as he promised and used a suplex and smashed Jaune's head with the floor. "Ow! What was that?"
Just as Tatsumi was about to answer Jaune was still half-asleep which impressed Tatsumi slightly but also disappointed him. "Hm~! It was probably Saffron, time to go back to-GAH!"
Tatsumi grabbed him by the neck and smashed him against the wall. "Wake up! Ah, Shit! He's unconscious!"
The displeasure on Tatsumi's face was quite amusing to look at that he accidentally made Jaune sleep again in a deeper sleep, as funny as Jaune looked like in his onesie and position he needed to wake him up to prepare him for everything.
"Well, then plan B," said Tatsumi as he went into the kitchen with the cooks giving him permission and he already had an idea what kind of breakfast they wanted, Nora was not even needed to be looking having seen her swallow pancakes like it was water yesterday, so he immediately thought of adding something that would make her calmer and use sugarfree syrup.
Classroom.
"So any reason why Jaune is cursing his sister?" asked Blake curiously as Jaune has his head covered in his arms with a raincloud over his head. Tatsumi wasn't whistling but more focusing on what Ren was telling him about herbs and asking some info back as well.
"Don't know, I doubt anyone of us does know," replied Akame who looked at Jaune's cloud and touched it and looked visibly shocked as the cloud was real. "...Jaune, you are exaggerating for using Water, Fire, and Air dust like this,"
"Hey! Those are mine!" shouted Jaune attempting to get the Dust crystals back but Akame simply kept a finger on his head and her other hand holding the Dust crystals not very far away.
"Stop those childish actions! We are in Beacon Academy! One of the most prestigious Academies of the whole world! And the teacher will be of great discipline, honor, skill, and experience who will be sharing that with us!" said Weiss irritated at the antics of Jaune and Akame, although it was Jaune she was only annoyed at since Akame...rather scared her a little bit.
"For some reason, I don't think that is that is the case..." said Yang pointing at the man who walked into the room and made their eyes widen a bit.
"This sucks!" whined Jaune getting not so invisible nods from his friends as the man named Professor Port wasn't giving them lessons, but stories of his youth which made most of the class sleep and some fear if they end up like that. Akame now had her doubts about the Academy, this man was a teacher? He had an air around him that told her that he knew how to fight, aim, and deduce situations.
"Akame, this guy does know how to fight, but why doesn't he tell anything useful?" asked Tatsumi not knowing what to make of Professor Port, how to judge his character while he gave him a clear view despite his youthful stories he saw a skilled huntsman.
"I don't know, perhaps I shall ask about the non-Grimm?" suggested Akame getting a shrug from her teammate who then flinches when he sees the ears of Mine twitch angrily, and Chelsea was just napping off while probably listening to music since he hasn't seen her taking them off once and he didn't remember what she looked like when she slept not giving much off a glance and judging her favorite breakfast from yesterday. "Excuse me, Professor Port but when will we be given info about the non-Grimm?"
Professor Port's eyes did actually open and they were filled with excitement like he had been waiting for that question, and apparently, he wasn't the only one as some of the students that slept throughout the lesson woke up. Ruby and Nora looked like they had a sugar rush, Ren and Jaune looked very interested, Yang had a 180 Watt grin, and Weiss and Mine paid more attention.
Chelsea just opened up one of her eyes and Tatsumi, Pyrrha, and Akame just remained calm.
"Ah! The non-Grimm as we are going to have about!" said Professor Port who went over to the boards and types a few buttons in and photos appeared of non-Grimm, they look like beings from a fantasy game. "First the Orcs!"
A picture of a gigantic humanoid pig wearing a loincloth around the waist was shown on the screen and many girls backed a bit in disgust.
Orcs, they are gigantic humanoid pigmen who possess great strength, smell, and many other attributes. Their sense of taste is amazing that it is way better than that of Faunus, possess minimal intelligence to mine and make mining tools and are normally found in caves, thick forests, and mountainous areas. They aren't related to the Faunus as they have shown hostility and mainly go after human women to mate, and they are also very wary of Faunus that have an ancient heritage,"
"Other than that, their meat is of great quality and often hunted and battling Grimm for territory since they possess emotions," thought Akame who has slain her fair share of Orcs since they are troublesome to the people and Faunus, but also a great food source for both of them although humans had a hard time to search for them making the Menagerie now a normal city.
Professor showed the next picture of a small blurry creature.
"Fairies, they have been known to be guardians of forests and the ones that keep whole Remnant stable and prevent us from emptying them, they get along well with the Faunus with good intentions, but in return they loathe humans a lot and there have been many missing reports of people gone when they entered forests to capture them for ransom money. The Fairies are very protected in the Menagerie, and the Deserts of Vacuo that now has a great oasis rich with resources for the citizens of Vacuo, they are most obviously found in forests and rivers,"
"But there is a slight possibility that they like humans since some people who had no home went into the forest to get themselves killed, although there had been sightings of other beings with supernatural powers," monologued Akame about the news breaks that showed humanoid figures that have shown abilities that weren't of Aura or semblances at all.
"Fairies are exceptionally great! They have been very beneficial to the Faunus in a long time that ended a very dark part of history!" continued Professor Port who's talking was now interesting for the teenagers to listen to. Specifically, the Faunus and Mine actually smiled at the last part of the sentence which made Akame frown in sadness, knowing now that she was perhaps one of the children that lived the slums before they got greatly improved.
"Tch! What is actually so great about those pesky flies!" scoffed Cardin showing an arrogant smile but the rest of his team paled at that and looked away from him. "Huh?"
The whole classroom was now coated in a veil of misty shadowy darkness as all the eyes of the Faunus turned red and looked very sharp as well, mentioning something bad about the Fairies was practically a sin itself since Faunus would take the insults towards them with trouble, but fairies are like their guardians and speaking badly about them resulted in a beating up.
_RDL scooted away from him but Sky actually used the veil to glare at Cardin's head.
"Dumbass is so arrogant," muttered Tatsumi rolling his eyes backward that Cardin was so arrogant, and Jaune looked confused and shocked how the Faunus would react to such comment. "Jaune, better not ask questions when the signs are so visible,"
"Huh?" Jaune wanted to ask about that but a stern glare of Tatsumi silenced him and clearly told him not to push it, despite that a part of him wanted to know it now. Akame sighed and knew Tatsumi only so short that she knew that he would meddle himself with Jaune...perhaps that was for the better even if he had a lot of Aura if he doesn't know how to use or defend himself then he would end up dead.
"Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren, please leave some of the care of Jaune into Tatsumi," asked Akame to _NPR who looked confused, but the determined look of Akame told them this was a serious matter.
"Who of you all thinks he or she is a true huntsman?" asked Professor Port loudly.
"I DO!" shouted Weiss irritated when she saw Ruby jump in her seat when the important lecture of the non-Grimm was given and looked like a child enamored by a fairy tale, like a child and that made Akame sigh how prideful Weiss could be, but part of her told her that Ruby was simply the answer to down her pride a little bit along with some words.
Later Weiss was in front of the class and in front of her in a small distance was a cage and Akame immediately felt what the Grimm was feeling. Hatred, Rage, and above all Bloodlust wanting to kill anything in sight,
"Now let the battle commence!" shouted Professor Port who opened the cage and the Boarbatusk stormed out and snarled but nobody flinched at the sight of the Grimm, but the negative feelings were present only fueling the rage of the Grimm even further.
Weiss took a deep breath and closed her eyes and opened them and dashed forward with her Rapier first and made the first strike pushing the Grimm a few meters back, the Boarbatsuk shook its head snarling and focusing its attention to Weiss and charged forward as Weiss swung her rapier to the side deflecting the tackle.
"Come on Weiss!" cheered Yang.
"Good luck," said Blake holding a flag up with RWBY on it.
"Show them who's boss, Weiss!" cheered Ruby.
That only seemed to anger Weiss by only Ruby's cheering and Akame's eyes easily picked up on this. And unfortunately for Weiss, she forgot about the Grimm who charged again with her having no time to deflect the attack but had to block it, holding her rapier horizontal and placing her hand on the blade part Weiss held back the Boarbatusk gritting her teeth that she had trouble with the brute force.
"Come on Weiss!"
"I'm trying concentrate Ruby!" hissed Weiss heatedly at the younger girl who rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. The Boarbatsuk sprang back making Weiss stumble forward while the Boarbatsuk rolled himself up and launched forward like Sonic and rapidly spun/sliced into Weiss without any mercy and launched her into a wall making it crack with visible spiderweb markings.
"Hmph! Arrogant heiress!" scoffed Mine giving a mocking look at Weiss who glared at her and charged at the Boarbatusk once she got up, but another cheerful comment of Ruby got her distracted and her Rapier got locked between the tusks and she got disarmed and got an uppercut in the chin by one of the tusks. Lucky she had Aura otherwise the tusk would be jammed in her skull.
"RUBY! SHUT UP!" shouted Weiss once she got up ignoring the Grimm sending a more heated look to Ruby who cowered a bit away.
"Ms. Schnee!" shouted Professor Port with his eyebrows furrowed warning her that there was still a fight and Weiss focused back and jumped over the rolling attack from Boarbatusk and picked up her rapier.
"Huh?" said Professor Port opening one of his eyes in shock as the Boarbatusk didn't turn around when Weiss dodged its attack, it was simply standing there frozen not even moving if you counted out that it was shaking a lot at seeing someone. This shocked Weiss and the other students and looked at where the Grimm was looking at and it was...Tatsumi who raised his eyebrow in confusion why it froze when it looked at him.
In the Boarbatusk's opinion and person, it was something more personal and ancient to remembering 2 beings of mass destruction and power once it looked at Tatsumi because to itself the pesky humans and Faunus saw one of themselves, but to itself, it saw a gigantic red being floating behind his back and its figure was similar to THOSE 2! But more scary-looking and savage, but powerful nonetheless when its master wiped those humans with ease and for some reason, he knew this one could beat his master and it wasn't that he didn't fear his master.
The sheer brutality of its master was very scary and this one was downright terrifying.
It took the 2nd option of the 2 it had and that was running back into the cage, but Weiss pierced it from the side of its head killing it instantly and to Weiss it seemed to be going to loathe her for the eternity, but what she never knew was that it would be grateful to her for eternity.
"...Did you do something Tatsumi?" asked Akame curiously and her teammate simply shook his head that he didn't do anything not even use any Aura.
"No, only was looking and breathing?" answered Tatsumi a bit unsure why the Grimm froze at the sight when his eyes met his. That has never happened to him in his whole life that a Grimm froze at seeing him while fighting them and plenty of them have looked into his eyes. What made it so different since he is only a Lizard Faunus, not something they feared but the Grimm doesn't fear at all.
Right?
Headmaster Office.
If Ozpin was shocked he didn't bother to hide it because he has seen the entire fight and the first thought was that Weiss needed to swallow her pride, and focus more in the fight then on any comments flung at her and ironically the positive comments made her angry despite that they should only embarrass or lift the spirit of people and Faunus up.
But the sight of the Boarbatusk odd behaving made him forgot what he thought and focused his sight on where the Grimm was looking at and that was a student who is a Faunus, a lizard Faunus to be exact but the way the Grimm looked at the boy and how the fear was evident all over his body like it was seeing someone with...silver eyes or how the Dark God acted towards his creation.
Grimm fearing something was an event Ozpin hasn't seen in hundreds of years.
"Tatsumi Ryuuya, it seems that you are another pinnacle of hope to Remnant...even if you won't like it," said Ozpin merely to himself.
He had to gain the advantage every time he can get, but now he wouldn't act as he wanted to confirm it completely if Tatsumi could be the other pinnacle of hope besides the maidens. And perhaps that he had a relation to THOSE 2 before he got tasked with the redemption of humanity, and maybe also a way to defeat Salem as well and that was something he couldn't let by his hands.
It just all depended on how Tatsumi was in his personality and morals about life, and if he would truly accept this then perhaps it was also the time for him to rest along with her. The hand of Ozpin clenched tightly into a fist as he was reminding the old days about his life, the days that he was a free spirit and ambitiously searching for an adventure like many others for fame but through that, he learned many other things in life as well.
Love.
Lost.
Happiness.
Joy.
And eventually, it was one and all sorrow when she couldn't bear the thought of fact that he wouldn't remain by her side and he had been a bit at fault at that. Never questioning about her mental health as he unknowingly became her source of mental strength to keep on with living. "Why did we men always have struggle with seeing the bigger picture until we are older?"
Classroom.
"Alright, the class is over and next lesson I will explain more about the creatures that aren't Grimm!" said Professor Port that actually excited most of the class before leaving it. Weiss went to exit the classroom as well but Akame intercepted her.
"Hey! Why are you standing in my way-!" but her rant was cut off when Akame crossed her arms and her eyes flared her red irises dangerously making the Heiress sweat a little and tremble in her place. Cautiously she took a few steps back and sat down on a seat as Akame walked forward, each of her step being intimidating as Akame silhouette made the room somehow darker then it was.
"You are not going anywhere, Professor Port? Can you perhaps talk with Ms. Schnee over here?" asked Akame with a sweet smile that had a dark background.
"Certainly, Ms. Rose," replied Professor Port before Akame left followed by her team with the Faunus giving a disdained look to Weiss and Chelsea simply rolled her eyes at her.
Once they got out of the classroom Akame and her team listened to a conversation of the next corner between Ozpin and Ruby, with the younger asking about if Weiss was right about her being the team leader and if she did something to anger Weiss. "She got so mad when I cheered for her, I don't understand what I did but did I perhaps anger her beforehand or is she right about my age?"
"Ms. Rose, when I chose the leaders it wasn't only battle skills that I watched," began Ozpin explaining his reason for choosing Ruby as the team leader of team RWBY. "I also look at the ones who will take action first and decide what they should do, but other than that I also look at the one that looks after the others despite at a first bad start,"
"So you mean you supervised us?" asked Ruby still not sure if her being the team leader was a smart choice.
"Yes, don't forget Ms. Rose we are still teachers and look after our students even if they fail the test," explained Ozpin also chuckling at the sheepish expression that she realized his sentences and that the test wasn't completely reckless at all. "But to let you know, I chose you because you are able to push away your difference and try to cooperate with your teammate, and I know that for a reason you will be able to soften Ms. Schnee,"
"I? Are you sure about that part Headmaster?" asked Ruby now confident why she is the Team leader but the last part was going to be even hard.
"Yes, I am sure of it that you are able to handle her," reassured Headmaster Ozpin before leaving the young girl with her thoughts. Ruby looked determined to prove to Weiss that she was worthy to be selected Team leader of Team RWBY.
Cafeteria.
Akame admitted that the food in the cafeteria wasn't that bad at all, but they had still room for improvement as most tasted like the normal things you can buy at the convenience store. Nothing like the food she prepares, or how Summer's heavenly baked cookies or Tatsumi's skill once she tasted his self-made breakfast and how tasty it was to the level of Summer's cooking.
"So there we are! In the middle of the night!" began Nora her exciting story with glee while the others merely listened with normal expressions, hearing that it was greatly exaggerated from the tone of her voice.
"It was in daylight," interrupted Ren in between.
"Surrounded by dozens of Ursa!"
"4 and they were Beowulf,"
"And by the end, we made a huge profit off selling their skins!" finished Nora her story and Akame then pointed something out of Nora's story that didn't even made any sense at all.
"Nora, you can't sell the skin of Grimm since they evaporate and float to the air like ash from a campfire," pointed Akame out with a raised eyebrow to the gingerhead's story aking the girl grin sheepishly at that part of her story, a part that she herself could not believe.
"Besides, I don't think anyone would buy those monstrous skin, it is very rough and has many bone spikes attached to it that is hard to remove even with your weapon," added Mine with a small scoff adding another REAL fact that shot down Nora's story. The Grimm skin was described by the people and Faunus who have felt the skin of Grimm and how it was so rough like it was sandpaper, and the bone spikes felt like it had dozens of tiny hook teeth attached on it like shark teeth.
"Well...they would function as a good trophy!" said Nora and to that Mine had nothing to say who thought for a second and nodded.
"Yeah, that it at least possible if they didn't disappear, but what about married couples with children? Do you think they are still safe?" asked Mine with a mischievous smile that riled up Nora a little bit that she got countered again by facts that not even she could deny.
"Other then that, is your team well-balanced?" asked Akame pointing to Jaune who looked surprised why she was pointing at him.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Jaune nervously and Tatsumi gave a pointed look at him but decided to talk about it later.
"Well, she means that you lack in ranged-attack Jaune," explained the only boy in his team pointing o the sword and shield he used in combat and he was going to point it out but not completely.
"Am I hearing about weapons!" asked Ruby excited wanting to get in on this.
"Yes, Jaune here cannot even swing his sword properly so a gun would be handy as a secondary weapon or even a short sword," said Tatsumi who decided to help Jaune a little bit out before he would get himself killed by the Grimm or his naivety added with his kindness and attitude to boot. "So I and Ruby are going to the nearest gun shop and get himself a gun to use,"
"Can we customize a special gun for him! Perhaps use his sword to make an advanced one! And maybe add some other things as well!" asked Ruby with such excitement that it made Tatsumi almost cringe, and made the elder sisters also cringe that Ruby made someone with her obsession uncomfortable and think she is weird.
"I had the feeling you are the specialist...but this makes me kind of scared," said Tatsumi bluntly not going to lie.
"Add me in, so can we 2 just go alone?" asked Jaune also now a bit creeped out despite that he was used to weird antics and such, but Ruby having her eyes turn into hearts for the mention of weapons.
Akame and Yang slammed both of their heads at the same time on their table that Ruby showed her embarrassing side again. "Ruby~! We asked you not to show that side until we've known each other a bit longer~!" whined both sisters in displeasure as the younger sister first pouted at them.
"I did!"
"No, you didn't," replied the sisters pointing at Tatsumi and Jaune who have scooted away a few meters from her.
Both boys stood up when Ruby's background turned dark and her smile became a nervous one leaking the purple aura out added with a red smiley smile behind it, both of them squeaked in fear and dashed off as fast as they could with Jaune oddly enough the faster of the 2. But that motivated Tatsumi to go faster as well, but Jaune was still a few meters ahead as Ruby's smile reminded him of his sisters a bit too much.
"No! Guys, don't leave me!" shouted Ruby who tried to keep up using her semblance.
"No thanks!" shouted both boys running even faster when they thought she got only closer and closer to them. "Mommy!"
"Okay, for this I am not going to even train you away from it," thought Tatsumi who wanted to shout the exact same thing as the blond-haired boy, and the red reaper girl was scaring him even if Akame told him about it.
Necros: Okay, I thought up of the idea of having some supernatural creatures into this as Akame's world is the same with supernatural creatures like dragons.
