Chapter 4: Forrest party: part 1
A/N: so about my statement at the end of chapter 3, I recant some of that, I won't go into MAJOR detail but I will give critical character description, however if you havent seen the show...WHY ARE YOU HERE?! GO WATCH IT! *ahem* review answering time.
Tiny fox sim: I may know why many people hate the institute and love the BOS, because the brotherhood is more honest in its acomplishments than the institute, however i dont hate them, Infact i WAS going to use them as a reason to get there but I had a better option, so i dont know about other writers but thats why I did it. The reason I made the main protagonist dislike the institute was because I already know what their end game is, and thats destroying two factions by a nuke, so there's that. Also for the record their not trying to kill him, quite the opposite actually but you'll have to find out why.
Guest 3: You know...I havent thought about that, but given the situation in the story I dont think im using that DLC here, however i might change my mind, depends where the story's flow ends up.
AndJrew76: Yeah he'll keep that attitude, however he'll care about those hes mentoring however he'll be kinda lazy and goofy when hes not on a mission for Ozpin or maybe he'll teach it all depends.
Also on a note a updated his bio by adding abit more weapons and custom armor(the cover armor) along with his personality, so give that a look, other than that, enjoy.
Beacon Academy teachers lounge, 9:30 am
Trayvon got Goodwitch's message to come into the staff room, to be honest he wanted to meet some of the teachers here... Oh who am I kidding he was really looking for victims of future pranks, when he finally reached the teaches lounge, he took a deep breath and stepped inside.
In the room, were Ozpin and Glynda but there were two other men here one was large wearing red, who had a round face with gray hair. The other wore a white dress shirt with tie, he black slacks and green hair and specs, what stood out to the merc, as the fact that this guy looked like he breathed coffee for air..
'caffine addiction...goood' he thought evily
"Glad you could stop by , I want you to meet the two teachers you'll be working with, this is professors obleck and port" as they offered hand shakes and he shook both of them.
" nice to meet you Mr. Jackson." port said with a cheery grin
" So good to meet you I hope we work together soon." obleck said with a friendly smile.
"Likewise and its nice meeting both of you." Trayvon replied, he then noticed it was only five of them there.
"However I just have one question, are we the only faculty here in this entire place?" He asked goodwitch shook her head.
"No most of them are doing assignments outside the kingdom or simply taking a day off today." she deadpanned
"You'll be subbing for them when they can't teach or you can always ask, im sure they wont mind along with glynda here." Ozpin spoke up, earning all three nods of approval.
"Well thats good to know, i gotta warn you though, my ways of teaching might be out of the ordinary. "He laughed
"Im aware, just make sure no one dies ok?" Ozpin said rubbing his temples knowing he can see the lawsuits from parents already.
"No ones gonna die, though there might be some genital injuries..." he sneered, causing the headmaster to slightly groan and glare while the other teachers merely facepalm, the 'student' noticed this.
"I'll see myself out now" Trayvon said quickly leaving the room.
"Well he's certainly full of life isnt he?" said obleck
"Indeed!" port said smiling
"Well if we get a lawsuit we'll just say hes Ozpin's new favorite, agreed?" Glynda said quickly making the two teachers nod hastily, The headmaster facepalmed at this and took a sip of his coffee...he remembered he should also fire the one who made his coffee lukewarm like piss.
Fifteen minutes later...
A grand assembly for the first years was being held, lots of people from god-knows-where there, somewhere in that crowd, TJ was drinking a nuka cola waiting around for this amazing speech that was supposed to happen soon.
Deciding to kill some time, he started walking around until he came across yang and ruby together however the younger sister looked pissed and that didn't shock the merc at all considering she ditched her for her friends, on the bright note she made friends with jaune so thats good news. Deciding that he didnt want to be seen at the moment he tried to ease away only for Yang to spot the familiar dreadhead.
"TJ!" she called out causing ruby to look into the direction he was in..
'Shit... Well, gotta say hi now' he mentally cursed
"Hey whats up you two?" Trayvon greeted
"Where'd you run off to earlier?" she asked
"I decided to go into the main campus and take a look around, place is huge." he said lying through his teeth
"You ditched me for THAT reason?" Ruby asked with a slight glare, making the older sister give him a questioning look.
"You actually ditched her, not cool..." she scolded, Trayvon gave her an 'are-you-serious' look before responding..
"Like you can talk, YOU ditched her for your friends last I remember" he spat.
"Yeah and I exploded!" Ruby pointed out.
"Yikes meltdown already?" she asked already as Trayvon shook his head.
"Uhh..no thats not what she meant.." he deadpanned "she actually blew a hole in the courtyard."
"Are you being sarcastic? Yang asked him, as once again he shook his head.
"There was fire and some ice, that mean girl kept yelling.." Ruby said, Trayvon looked ahead of her and saw his headache from the courtyard right there behind her .
"Hey Ruby...there's apparition behind you.." he said rubbing his temples, but ruby went into her fast talking spells ignoring him in the process, once again he tried..
"Rubes I strongly suggest you turn around.." he tryed coercing her but no good as she was rambling about weiss, as said girl was getting closer with glare growing.
"Ruby your life depends on you turning around right now if you dont-" TJ managed to say only that much before...
"YOU!" weiss yelled
'Too late' he thought
"Oh god its happening again!" ruby yelled jumping into her sisters arms, also she shot the merc a 'why didnt you warn me look' and to this he shrugged.
"Tried to warn ya.." he said nonchalantly
"You were lucky we didnt get blown off from the side of the clift!" she said in a harsh tone.
"Oh my god you really exploded" yang said slightly shocked.
" I just said that." he said rolling his eyes
" and wait...your that ass from earlier!" Weiss exclaimed pointing at TJ
"Ok one, my name aint "ass" its Trayvon and two that explosion was your fault." he stated
"Whatever anyway here." she said putting a pamphlet in his face.
"The fuck is this shit?" he asked in displeased tone
"The schnee dust company policy." she said as she turned to ruby.
"If you really wanna make it up to me then read this and stay away from me." she said shoving the same thing in her face.
"What is it?" Ruby asked
"The schnee company is not responsible for.." was that was understood from her before they were hearing what equaled to 'blahblahblah'. Beyond annoyed TJ pulled out a bottle and a piece of cloth he then began saturating the rag with chloroform.
"Hey ms..?" he asked interrupting her..
"Its SCHNEE and what do you want now..?" she asked coldly
"Listen maybe we got off the wrong foot, so id like to apologize." He said with an Innocent sweet smile. The sisters had a gaping look on there faces, even Weiss was thrown off by this..
"To make it up to you, my family has a perfume company and they just tested it on a cloth, sorry I couldnt bring the whole thing." He lied handing her the washcloth
"It's fine i guess.." she stated blankly,
she put the cloth up her nose and took a nice whiff only to drop seconds later on floor snoring. Staring at the now sleeping heiress, both Yang and Ruby turn around to see TJ holding a bottle of chloroform with a massive shit eating grin.
"Oops that wasnt supposed to happen silly me." he said innocently with his hand over his mouth grinning. Ruby went over to try to wake her up while Yang's face went from shock to evil grin.
"Say you got anymore of that stuff..?" she said glancing at Ruby, Trayvon chuckled.
"Its chloroform and yes i do but um...I dont think Rubes would like the idea I gave her sister knockout juice." He giggled
"Aww you're no fun.." she pouted playfully, he shrugged with a grin, Ruby then turned around to face the now giggling pair.
"What did you give her?" Ruby curiosity replacing worry.
" A knockout compound called chloroform, great for making people go nighty night, she'll be out for a couple of hours however she will have a splitting headache when she wakes up so I wouldnt recommend bothering her when she does." he laughed,
The assembly soon began, everyone attention shifted to Ozpin and Glynda as he began one of a lifetime speeches.
"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy..."
Was all the merc heard until he had tone him out.
' I've heard more motivation from the Brotherhood Of Steel, hes supposed to be training future warriors and this is what he comes up with? Way to bring down the mood.' he mused as he tuned back in to the end of the speech.
"Its up to you to take the first step." Ozpin finished earning the crowds half-assed applause.
"You will meet at the bottom tonight, tomorrow your initiation will begin tomorrow...be ready." Glynda chimed in as she and the headmaster walked out.
"Great speech..so motivational yay..." Trayvon said sarcastically clapping causing a few people who heard him to snicker.
"It didnt seem like he was there wasnt it?" Ruby said
"I know right he was pretty off.." yang added in quietly, causing the her sister and the merc to nod in agreement.
"Well ladies its been fun but i gotta tend to my shit, I'll be seeing ya." he said walking off
"See ya tonight Teej." called out yang as he waved in response, after he was gone Yang had a thought.
'hmmm...something is weird about him, maybe its just me but he seems odd...well maybe im just paranoid..' she thought out, and with that all the students left the auditorium to head to the dorms.
Later that night at the student dorm
All students were in one room with sleeping bags doing well..anything as every student was either in there pajamas and as for the guys case shirtless.
"Its like a big slumber party!" yang said flopping on her bed next to Ruby
"I dont think dad would approve of all the guys though." she said as she was writing in her letter.
" I know I do" she purred making a tiger growl until she saw jaune in this god awful onesie..
"Ew... Whats that ?" Yang pointing at Ruby's paper
"Its a letter to the gang back at signal i figured let them know how im doing. She said with a small smile
"AWW THATS SO CUTE!" she cooed earning a pillow to the face
"Shut up! I didnt get to bring any of my friends with me." Ruby sighed angrily
"What about jaune?" asked Yang
"Well that other girl is my negative friend so that brings it back down to zero.." she deadpanned with her face in the pillow.
"Ok so you made two friends and one enemy, thats not so bad." Yang smiled
"Two friends..? I dont-...Oh TJ I almost forgotten him." she perked up
"Yeah what about him?" asked Yang
"Well hes..." she was about to finish when all the memories she had of him were of his mischief and his display of bloodlust from the other night as he mercilessly gunned down one of torchwick's men infront of her.
"Different" Ruby finished.
"I wouldnt talk about different, gun nerd." Yang teased earning yet another pillow thrown at her.
"Not what i meant! he just seems..." she said as she was looking for the right word but yang finished for her.
"Out of place? Yeah im getting that vibe too and don't get me wrong the guy's hilarious, however he just has this aura of mystery, to be honest its kinda hot.."Yang drooling at that last part. "Shame though I dont see him, I'd like to see what was under that jacket of his." She cooed making Ruby's face turn with disgust.
"Eww Yang gross, keep that to yourself! Ruby yelled, she then took a look around and noticed he wasnt anywhere in that big room. 'Hmm thats really weird all the first years sleep here, what the heck is he doing?' she she questioned herself before she went back to talk to her sister.
Beacon academy faculty dorm, an hour before midnight...
Trayvon had his room fully set up, a station for his power armor , a make shift stove, chems,medicine and poisons mini lab, an automatron station and finally his weapons and armor modding table. All of this was atomized out of the pipboy, which in turn made the Sole Survivor feel Very light.
"Ahh... Man that feels so much better." he sighed as he was rubbing his bare shoulders, while studying what aura and semblance was which interested him. "A spiritual shield that protects you from most physical attacks..
Sounds useful, wish I had that back on earth." he said almost jovial. The next thing he looked up surprised him the most, Semblance was an ability from a soul's manifestation either it would increase physical abilities or give extra non-physical ones.
Either way it was something he'd invest into when he got the chance. After a brief period he took a break to drink a nuka cola quantum, it tasted great but it made him piss a glowing green, which should be a red flag for our shirtless merc but after awhile he just didnt seem to care and kept drinking it..
When he was done Trayvon was about to get his 8 hours of sleep, when his scroll went off.
'We have a task for you, meet us at the bullhead docks.. Goodwitch' The text read, sighing heavily he put back on his hunters long coat and made his way to the docks...
Emerald forrest, 10:00 am the next day
A blue laser just cut through a grimm ursa's mask, killing it and making it disintegrate. The source was a man in black Cage armor holding an institute hitman's riffle aiming down his sights.
"Headshot" he gleefully said through his mask. Satisfied with his kill, he contacted Ozpin.
O: ["So how is it?"]
"Like shooting fish in a barrel ive got only one complaint though". Trayvon said in sweet tone
O: [" And that is..?]
"WHY THE HELL AM I BABYSITTING THESE KIDS FROM A GODDAMN TREE?!" He roared into the scroll, at this Ozpin pulled the phone and groaned in pain from his screaming employee.
O: ["You're there to make sure no one actually dies from this test."]
" I get that, I do but you had to have me do this at 12:00 in the fucking morning?" he barked
O: [" I had to make sure you cleared out alot of them before we sent students in there."]
" That was literally the hard part, I kept getting attacked by beowolves before I climbed all the way up here." TJ whined
O: [" If thats all, you really have nothing to complain about."]
"Really why's that?" he questioned
O: [" 'Cause all you need to do is remain unseen by the initiates and things will go smoothly."]
" Wait what do you mean I have to stay hidden?!", He then heard the sounds of screaming teens as he looked up and saw them heading in his direction using any strategy to land.
O: ["well that sounds like them now, and so I bid you good luck"]
" What?! No no no dont you hang up on me you-"
*click*
*call has ended*
"MOTHERFUCKER!" he roared firing his energy weapon rapidly at the passing grimm, he almost fell out of the tree due to his quick tantrum..
"Whoa..! Ok I need to calm the fuck down before I either expose myself or die falling from the tree." TJ said calming down, He then came to a realization that his weapon maybe silent but the lasers attract attention, so he put that away and pulled out his metal crossbow, activated his stealth boy and proceeded down the tree to find a new hiding place..
After all students had landed, sneaking around got harder for the assassin, he had to change sniper positions every five minutes to avoid detection. When he came across Jaune strung up on a tree it was rather hard to stiffle a laugh however the redhead in bronze armor approaching the blonde heard the stiffled laugh and turned in the direction of the sound.
The only thing that saved him is that his stealth boy hadnt worn off yet, so he had enough time to wait her out till her attention was back on the person she went to get down, he took this opportunity to slip away. Once he was away from the now partnered up pair his stealth boy wore off and he found a new vantage point, up there he was able to see the the initiates very well and stoodby...Thats until he saw Ruby being dragged by Weiss to this he radioed Ozpin.
"Ozpin this is TJ we have a problem." he stated very serious
O: [" Whats going?"]
" It seems one of the grimm have taken a human form and has kidnapped Ms. Rose, Permission to fire sir?" He asked
O: ["What does it look like?]
"It has white hair, blue eyes, looks like a female and is wearing a white skirt outfit.." he quickly described the "Creature"
G: [" Headmaster...thats ms. Schnee..."]
O: ["...Trayvon..."]
"Yes Ozzy?" Trayvon said in sing song voice
O: [If you shoot that student, you'll lose more than your job...do we have an understanding?]
"Yeah yeah we do.." He agreed
O: [" Good now get back to it"]
*click*
*call has ended*
Watching the two girls (in a non creepy way) he decided it was best to leave them on their own, especially seeing ruby's skill, he figured she'd be fine and proceeded to move on to the next area.
TJ had no trouble avoiding the next two people, they were a weird couple, one was a guy with black hair with a pink streak wearing what looked a green Chinese garb and the other was orange haired girl with black top and pink skirt wielding a huge hammer. His advance continued until he reached Yang fighting two grimm Ursas, He loaded up a Cryo bolt ready to make the kill until...
"Ha! You guys couldn't even hit the side of a b-" was all she could say before a strand of her hair fell, "you.. YOU MONSTERS!" all of a sudden she bursts into a flaming rage , Yang then beats the shit out of one of the ursa with dust infused punches, after she was done she turned to the other one.
"WHAT YOU WANT SOME TOO?!" She roared.
'Heh...sucks to be that guy' he thought as she was going to do the other Ursa in next, thats until a blade found its way into its back and was retracted by the same Raven haired girl he saw at the courtyard yesterday morning.
"I could've taken him.." Yang grinned
"Oh im sure you could." blake smiled back. "By the way I appreciate the gesture, but I despise stalkers.." Blake said menacingly looking directly up at Trayvon.
"Oh shit.." he muttered trying to escape only to find the rope of gambou shroud around his ankle..
"Well...errors have been made.." He sweatdropped only to be pulled down.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" the merc screamed as he hit the bottom hard losing consciousness.
Moments later he came to, cage mask still on he looked up to see a towering Blake and Yang with Glares etched on their faces.
'welp...this isnt gonna end well' he frowned in thought
[Mission fail]
Play MGS1 Game over theme
A/N: ok ok seriously back to the story..
Trayvon was in deep shit and he knew it so instead of trying to play the whole chase thing out he decided to diffuse the situation (charisma 9)
"Heheh..hi." He greeted nervously
"Hi.." blake said in a low growl
" How did you know I was there?" he asked
"You weren't hard to spot.." she said with a menacing glare, at the same time her bow twitched..
'Ok...I know im not only one who saw that..'
"Ok so...who are you?" Yang asked glaring at the masked man with her shotgun gloves at the ready
He didn't know if telling them who he was would make his situation better worse..oh well he decided to take that gamble (luck 5 lol)
"You've go to the count of three to take ur helmet off or im going to kick your ass to the next time zone." Yang threatened
A deep sigh was heard from the behind the mask and he slowly took it off revealing the face behind it.
"TJ..?" Yang asked in a shocked tone
"Surprised?" He answered jovially
"You're that guy from the courtyard." Blake said in realization
"Yup thats right.. And you are?"
"Blake Belladonna" she said simply
"Trayvon Jackson however can you call me TJ." he said grinning
"Why were you stalking us?" asked Yang with a slight glare
"Well im here for the same reason, im an intitate too." he responded
"That didnt answer my question.." she said slightly angry
"Oh alright look, you guys seemed to know where your going so I tried to tail whoever was in the right direction and grab a relic without getting partner." he lied
"Why wouldnt you want a partner?" asked Blake with an eyebrow raised
" I Just prefer to do things on my own, dont want to deal with a liability." another lie he told.
To be honest he loved having companions around back at the wasteland, made traveling more tolerable and fights certainly ended quicker when it wasnt just him blasting off raiders or ghouls.
"Well thats bull, teammates are to help you, not hinder you." Yang pointed out then she had a suggestion
"Tell you what since we're headed there you can tag along, we're not that far so it shouldn't take too long." Yang said with glee, along with blake nodding in agreement.
"But I-.." He attempted to plead but was cut short
"No buts! Unless you want me grabbing yours, besides power in numbers" she playful said pushing him forward from behind. A ring from TJ scroll was heard, as he took it out it was a text from Ozpin.
'looks like your stealth mission failed..ok.. new task, participate in the initiation, careful not to die now.-Ozpin' It read
Trayvon did a deep sigh and put his mask back on, since he no longer had to be stealthy he decided to atomize his Radical conversion riffle.
"Ok how far do we have to go?" he asked loading in a magazine
"Just straight ahead for a mile should take us 15 minutes" Yang said pointing at the direction they needed to go.
"Ok lets go then.." He nodded as they began to make their way to the grab theses relics were to end their trial..
