Alright here is chapter 4, the new episode was EPIC, and here I am to add to it. Let us begin, along with the introduction of Team BSRG. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.
Ash sighed as Weiss ran off, Ruby in hot pursuit. "George, Ryan, both of you follow them, I know your curious". He orders.
The two nod and ran off, pursuing the two girls.
Yaron sighed and walked off, with Aria beside him.
Ash was about to follow them when he got an alert on his scroll. He looked at it with a message.
'Meet me at these coordinates, I want to talk to you...Super Saiyan'.
Signed: Rondel.
Ash's brows furrowed at the name, Rondel was the name of the man he was supposed to capture...what did he want? He decided to get his answers and walked off to the coordinates, ready for anything.
George and Ryan stood aside as Weiss raced over to the ship that docked, Ruby struggling to keep up.
A woman who looked like an older version of Weiss was talking to a soldier.
"Who is that"? George asks, noticing the new arrival.
"Winter, Weiss' sister". Ryan replies.
George turned to Ryan, a look of interest on his face. "And how do you know that"?
"She was passively mentioned during the little 'Paladin' scenario last semester". Ryan responds.
George nods before turning to the two.
"Winter! I'm so happy to see you"! Weiss cheers, only to stop herself. "Oh...your presence honors us". She says with a bow.
Winter didn't seem to pay attention. "Beacon, its been a long time". She mutters. "The air feels...different". She notices.
George and Ryan tried not to sweat.
"I mean it is Fall, so its probably colder". Ruby points out, only to get slugged hard by Weiss in the shoulder, knocking her to her knees.
"So, why are you here"? Weiss asks.
"Classified". Came Winters response.
"Oh...how long will you be staying"? Weiss asks again.
"Classified". Winter repeats.
"Of course". Weiss accepts.
"..."
"Well...this is nice...I think". Ruby mutters awkwardly.
"Need any salt to add to that"? George mutters with a smirk.
Weiss immediately exploded, trying to tell her sister all of the cool things in Vale.
"I am more than aware of how Vale handles its...bureaucracy, but I didn't come here to watch my own blood fail miserably, but it seems I have no choice". Winter states harshly.
"But...we won". Weiss objects.
"Only a novice would refer to that as a victory, I counted at least three strikes missed". Winter chides.
George heard a loud cracking noise, startling him. He turned and saw Ryan gripping his rapiers, cracking the hilts. "Easy lad...trust me I'm irritated too". George calms.
Ryan sighs in irritation.
"Leave us". She say to the soldiers, who stood back and look around, their eyes settling on George and Ryan, trying to identify their cloaked faces.
Winter sighed. "How have you been"? She asks, her voice calmer.
"Oh! Splendid, thank you for asking, I am at the top of my class, the rest of my study's are going well too and-"
SMACK!
"Silence you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking, I asked you how you've been. Have you been eating properly, have you taken up any hobbies? Have you made any new friends"? Winter asks, like a big sister chiding her younger.
"Well, there's Ruby". Weiss says, pointing to Ruby.
Ruby snickers as she pushes the bruise on Weiss' head back into her head anime style.
"I see, so this is the leader you wrote of, how appropriately...underwhelming". Winter mutters.
"Er...thank you"? Ruby thanks, uncertain.
"Greetings Ruby Rose, I thank you for taking an interest in my sister". Winter thanks.
"Oh! And there is this team called GRAY, they're-
"GRAY"? Winter asks. "The new Renegade team that Ironwood is out for, your friends with them"? Winter demands.
Weiss recoiled. "It is all a big misunderstanding"! Weiss tried to calm.
"And how do you know that"? Winter interrogates.
"They told her". Came Ryan's voice.
Winter turned and saw Ryan and George step up, their faces still hidden.
"And you are"? Winter asks.
George smirked. "Classified".
Winter's eye twitched. "And why did you cut in"? She asks again.
"Classified". George answers again.
Ryan shook his head at George, as Winter shook in frustration. "They are good friends with GRAY, and they were willing to share their side of the story". Ryan answers.
"And that side is"? Winter asks, turning to Weiss.
"Ironwood is...afraid of them, he's paranoid of their power, that's why he banned them from the tournament". Weiss answers, uncertain.
Winter's face shifts into one of...confusion before sighing. "Regardless, would you show me to your quarters? I am a bit early for my meeting with the Headmaster". Winter asks, her face settling into a small smile.
"Really"? Weiss asks.
"Yes, I wish to inspect them and see if they are up to my personal standards". Winter explains.
"Of course, but just so your aware, the bunk beds only LOOK unstable". Weiss adds, getting a confused look from Winter. "Bunk beds"?
Ruby sighed and turned to the two hidden members. "Thanks guys, you saved our butts". She thanks.
"No prob Ruby, we just came to watch the show". George says.
Ruby nods and runs off.
Ryan blinked when he saw...Yaron? No...he looked older, he walked near two droids and crushed them easily, surprising everyone.
"Hey"! A grating voice demands.
Winter and Weiss turned to the man, who held one of the droids in his hands. "Yeah, I'm talking to you 'Ice Queen'". He mutters.
George and Ryan watched with smirks as Weiss stomped forward, only to get casually pushed aside by the man.
A crow cawed from above, before it flew around the area.
"Saw that gaudy ship of yours in town, thought you'd be here too". The man guesses.
"I'm standing right before you". Winter points out.
The man squints his eyes at Winter. "So it would seem". He mutters, deadpan.
"You do realize you destroyed Atlas Military property"? Winter asks angrily.
The man looks around with a false noise of compassion. "Oh, I'm sorry, I must have mistook this as, sentient garbage". He apologizes sarcastically.
"I don't have time for your immature game...Qrow". Winter snaps.
George and Ryan's jaws dropped at the name, this was Qrow?
"This should be interesting". George mutters to Ryan, who nodded.
"Geez, you Atlas specialists think your so special huh"? Qrow asks.
"It's in the title". Winter rebuts.
"Well, you know what you are? A bunch of sellouts, just like your boss". Qrow snaps.
George blinked and stood more straight...if Winter served the military.
"I don't know what I think your implying, but I've heard enough". Winter snaps.
"Oh I heard too, I heard how ol Ironwood turned his back on Ozpin". Qrow reveals.
George and Ryan blinked in shock, he did what?
"Ozpin"? Weiss asks.
"Weiss, you need to leave". Winter says, pushing Weiss away.
"Listen to big sister Weiss, she's going to protect you, just like Atlas is going to protect everyone huh"? Qrow taunts.
George noticed a crowd piling around the two, him and Ryan blended into it to get a good look.
"If you don't hold your tongue, then I will GLADLY remove it for you"! Winter snaps, her sword out.
"Alright then...come take it". Qrow taunts.
Winter sped forward and swung her sword, only for Qrow to dodge them casually, as if it was no deal.
Qrow bowed and Winter swung down, only for it to clang against Qrow's weapon, which he unsheathed.
It was a huge sword, and by the way he was holding it, it looked like a stupid fencer, it made Ryan cringe at his posture.
The two suddenly engaged in quick sword slashes, the crowd watching in awe.
"What's going on"? Ruby asks.
"Some crazy person just started attacking my sister". Weiss snaps.
"Oh no, who would do such a...It's my Uncle"! Ruby cheers.
"What"? Weiss asks.
"Kick her butt Uncle Qrow"! Ruby cheers.
"Teach him some respect Winter"! Weiss cheers.
George leaned near Ryan. "Fifty on Qrow". He bets.
"Your on". Ryan said before something caught their eye.
Mercury passed by and was about to dismiss it, only to stare at Qrow, and for a look of fear to pass over his face. He was about to leave when a hand grasped his shoulder.
"Going somewhere"? George asks.
Mercury turned around nervously, staring at George in fear.
"Why the rush, don't you want to see two Hunters fight it out"? Ryan asks.
"N-No, I'm good". Mercury mutters, attempting to get out of George's iron grip to no avail.
"Ah, stay for a bit...It won't kill you". George mutters sinisterly.
Mercury shivered as George made him turn and watch the fight.
They all yelped when the two zipped past them, their fight moving at incredible speeds. Winter and Qrow moved around at the arches around Beacon, with Qrow firing from his weapon.
"It's a shotgun"! George cheers, unnerving Mercury.
The two clashed and collided in the courtyard, before exchanging a few more blows, one which caused Qrow to slide back.
Winter took on a stance and stabbed her sword into the ground, a glyph forming.
"Wait...I thought Semblances were unique"? Ryan asks.
"Guess its genetic too". George adds, ignoring Mercury who was squirming in his grip.
The ice crystal swirled around Winter which formed into doves that charged at Qrow and circled him, blinding him. Qrow managed to fire a stray energy slash, cutting her off.
Winter frowned before another glyph appeared behind her, ready to charge.
Qrow smirked before flicking his wrist, his sword beginning to change into a scythe, before Qrow's eyes widened and he stopped halfway.
"Why is he"? George began, only for Qrow to sheath his weapon and point at his chin.
Winter roared in anger and charged.
Ryan raced in.
CLANG!
Winter gasped as Ryan blocked her rapiers mid dash, and disarmed her. She was about to resort to her glyphs when George put her in a full nelson hold.
"Alright, I think you two have had your shots at each other". George tries to calm.
Winter struggled out of his grip. "Let go of me you brute"! She snaps.
George leaned near Winters ear and spoke in a cold tone. "Shut it, Ironwood is right behind you, and if you want to get in trouble for starting a fight, fine by me". George hisses in her ear.
Winter shivered at his tone, and gasped when he released her. She picked up her weapons and indeed saw Ironwood behind her, she sighed.
Ash frowned as he walked across a bridge, before stopping as a person appeared from the literal shadows. "I take it your Rondel"? Ash asks.
Rondel smirked as he stepped out, showing himself.
He had spiky dark hair, with a scratch cloak that shady dealers used, which hid his weapons as well. He stared at Ash through ebony orbs who returned it. "Yes, and you must be Ash Ketchum, the leader of Renegade GRAY". Rondel says with a faulty bow of respect.
"What do you want"? Ash asks.
"I know why your here, the only reason you would dare enter the Tournament under such rules is because you want to capture me, to get off of Ironwood's bad side...to get to go home to your loved ones and just celebrate. Well let me tell you this, that will NEVER happen"! Rondel snaps.
"What do you mean"? Ash asks.
"He took EVERYTHING from me, my girl, my siblings, EVERYTHING"! Rondel snaps angrily.
Ash's eyes widened.
"That's why I am hellbent on killing him, he destroyed my life, now I will destroy his. The question I ask you is this...are you with me, or not"? Rondel asks with his hand out.
Ash stared at the hand before chuckling, it then blew into full blown laughter. "You-You think I'm actually SCARED of Ironwood"? Ash asks with laughter in his voice.
Rondel was taken aback by Ash's demeanor. "What do you mean"? He asks.
Ash got up, wiping a tear of laughter from his eye. "If you think I LET Ironwood gain the advantage, your wrong". Ash began while Rondel blinked in confusion.
Ash swung against the bridge a bit, rocking it. "I've been through two wars, one of them in which I fought against a literal god, now let me ask you this, I assembled an army of my own, and it is ready to attack at my beck and call, and with the power to destroy WORLDS, do you think I'm afraid"? Ash asks with his arms out.
Rondel bit his lip at Ash's question. "But why HAVEN'T you fought back"? Rondel asks.
"What's there to lose? All I have to do is take you out tomorrow, and we're done with this, you go to jail and I keep my true power on the lay low". Ash answers.
Rondel growls. "Like I'm going to let that happen"! He shouts before snapping his fingers.
Three figures burst from the water and leapt at Ash.
Ash caught a punch, blocked a claw swipe, and deflected a strike from behind, causing him to pause and turn around to see a mechanical tail being caught.
"Sheesh, what kind of steroids is your tail on"? A chipper voice asks, his voice having a touch of crazy to it.
Ash looked and noticed the man attached to it, and huffed before throwing him back.
He noticed that the two strikes he blocked back off, he saw two women, one of them having these strange blood claws, and another wearing a brass knuckle, although in this world there's always more to it.
"I'm not going to waste time with introductions, this is my team, Brenda, Sophia, and Gregg". Rondel introduces.
Ash huffs before sighing. "Listen, I don't want either of us to lose someone that is precious to us, so I will TRY to see if I can get your family free, even though you'll still be imprisoned". Ash wagers.
Rondel huffs angrily. "Don't hold your breath, Ironwood is as stubborn as he is stupid". He says while gripping his fists, the shadows dancing across at his anger.
Ash chuckled and turned around. "See you tomorrow, we have a BIG fight ahead of us". Ash says before walking off, leaving BSRG to their own devices.
Winter huffed angrily as she stomped back to the ship, only to pause as she saw George and Ryan talking with Ruby and Weiss. She was about to dismiss them only to pause at how George saved her pride back there, Ironwood would have had given her a dangerous punishment if he actually saw her 'attack' someone. She sighed and walked forward. "You there". She says, getting their attention.
They all turn to Winter. "Winter, are you alright"? Weiss asks.
"I'm fine, I want to thank you two, I would have been in much bigger trouble if you didn't stop me". Winter thanks.
George waved his hands dismissively. "It's fine, we've all had our anger get the best of us". George assures.
Winter smiles slightly. "Could I have the names of my saviors"? She asks.
The four all flinch at her question. Ryan nudged George who sighed and stepped forward, removing the cowl he had, causing Winter to recoil.
George stared at her, his expression unwavering. "George Armstrong, member of Team GRAY". George introduces.
Winter knew who he was, a criminal, a renegade, but...why didn't she feel the need to attack? She glanced at George who simply waited, not once moving his hand to his weapon.
"Why...why are you here if your so high on the bounty list"? Winter asks.
"Because our friends were in a rush, we wanted to make sure they were alright". Came George's response.
"So you risked capture and execution...all just because you were worried"? Winter asks.
"Yep". Came both of their responses.
Winter was shocked, why did they bother? If she was that high on a bounty she would have hid and waited, not walk around in broad daylight.
"We're more clever than you think, we've been doing this 'Hit and Run' shtick for years, we're professionals". George says with a wave of his hand.
Winter sighed. "Regardless..thank you for helping me, and thank you for caring so much about my sister". Winter thanks.
George smiled while pulling his cowl back up. "No problem". He says with a smile.
Winter's gaze turned into a more...alluring one as she turned around, walking in a manner that made her hips sway, smirking as George momentarily watched before catching himself.
"Yang is going to kill you". Ryan says with a smirk.
"Don't mention it". George snaps with a flush on his face.
Winter smirked and walked off, she had a fight to catch tomorrow.
Qrow was about to leave when a thought hit him. "I almost forgot...where is he"? Qrow asks.
"Where is who"? Ironwood asks.
"The boy that not only found a hint that Summer may be alive, but it dating my niece...now where is he"? Qrow asks.
"Our 'Guardian' is not here, Ironwood scared him off". Glynda scolds while they all turn to her.
"Guardian...you mean Ash was meant to be the guardian"? Ironwood asks in shock.
"Why did I bring him in the first place? Just for fun? No, he is a hero, a Legend, someone that can lead people from the threats of multiple worlds...and you just about ticked him off". Ozpin snaps.
"Wait...ticked him off? Your saying he's not mad"? Qrow asks.
"No, he has a world lock, it forbids him from using his full potential, but he has a way to break it for a couple of minutes...not even I have seen him at his best, that little show he made when fighting Yiela? That was merely a taste of what he is capable of". Ozpin explains.
Ironwood sweated at his words.
Qrow laughed. "Now THAT'S a proper suitor for Ruby, I'm sure Taiyang will feel a bit happier". Qrow jokes.
Ozpin smirked.
"By the way Qrow, since Ash is gone I suppose I should get this question out of the way". Ozpin began, catching his attention.
"Where was Summer's last mission? That's the last piece we're missing". Ozpin asks.
Qrow paused, his expression obviously pained. "I'll, I'll give you the details tomorrow if you don't mind". Qrow mutters.
"Of course, you can give them to Ash when he is done with his match". Ozpin says with a smirk.
Ironwood turned to Ozpin in shock.
"What? You thought they were going to abide by your rules"? Ozpin asks.
Ironwood pulled out his scroll and checked the fights, the final fight is GRAY vs BSRG.
"You will not intervene, this is their moment of redemption". Ozpin snaps.
Ironwood was about to protest before Qrow caught him.
"If you make your move now, that Rondel character will book it, and you'll lose your chance, now back off". Qrow snaps, obviously intent on protecting Ash.
Ironwood sighed. "Fine, but I WILL be present for the fight". Ironwood demands.
"We all will, good day Ironwood". Ozpin says while Ironwood leaves.
One day later.
"Alright! We have one more team battle left for you"! Port cheers.
"Yes, the reason we postponed this fight until tomorrow, was because this one wasn't going to be settled quickly". Oobleck explains.
"Now here they are, Team GRAY and Team BSRG"! Port introduces.
Ash stood at the pathway with his teammates, all of them in their original outfits, they all exchange glances before nodding and stepping forward, only for voices to stop them. They all turned and saw RWBY racing towards them.
"Hey guys! Good luck". Weiss says with a smile.
Ryan gives Weiss a thumbs up. "Will do". He assures.
Ruby hugs Ash who returned it, before digging into her pocket. "I wanted to give you this when the tournament started, but you know". She began while Ash chuckled.
She pulled out a locket, it was made of a ruby and carved in a rose pattern, Ash took it and opened it, seeing Ruby's smiling visage at him.
"No matter where you are, I'll be right beside you". Ruby assures.
Ash stared at it before a smile came over his face, he put it on and turned to Ruby, who gasped.
In Ash's eyes were emotions she never saw before, they weren't the guarded eyes of a Warrior, they weren't the cheerful eye of Ash that she's chipped away on, they were true emotions from a persons true self, just for her.
"Thank you Ruby". Ash thanks before hugging Ruby tight, which she returns.
"Now go kick their butts! Then we can go and eat"! Ruby cheers.
Ash nods before they stepped back.
George smirked at Yang as she slugged his shoulder. "What? No gift for me"? He asks with a chuckle.
He was cut off as Yang grabbed him by the collar and kissed him, causing him to blush deeply as she let go. "That work"? She asks.
George nods and stumbles off, as if she got him drunk.
Ryan laughed at that.
Yaron smiled at Aria and Blake, who returned it. "Go show them what a Grimm Hunter is made of". Aria says while exchanging a fist bump with Yaron.
Blake smiled. "Good luck you guys, we'll be watching it all". She wishes.
"Yeah, don't be COMPLETE disappointments". Yang jokes.
"We won't". Ash says as they walk off, to the fight for their freedom.
Team GRAY stepped into the arena as BSRG did the same, the arena shifting into two sides, one a dark forest, and another being a urban look to it.
"Let's see what your made of, Super Saiyan". Rondel says before drawing his weapons, along with his team.
GRAY drew theirs, equal looks of focus on their face.
"BEGIN"!
The two teams charged, both intent on winning.
To be continued.
MAN! This was a trip! Qrow's fight with Winter was epic though. BSRG makes their appearance, and don't worry. You won't have to wait a week for the rest of the fight, I'll probably have it done tomorrow, I just needed a place to stop. What did you guys think? And yes, George is in trouble now that he caught Winter's attention. Thanks go out to Hollowgod88 for Team BSRG. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
