Kisdota: I'm starting to think I should have gotten a job at Pixar, making inanimate objects come to life seems to be my specialty.


"Weapooooooons! WEAAAAA-POOOOOOONS!" Nora shouted out through the halls of Beacon. Rushing behind her was Ren gasping for air trying to keep up with his crazy friend.

"Nora… gasp… I don't think we should be yelling for them. Yang was pretty specific on keeping this whole thing quiet," Ren told her exhausted.

"Naw it'll be fine," Nora said, "How are we supposed to figure out who's who anyway? So whadya think Magnhild is going to be like? You think he'll or she'll be like one big person but made entirely of metal?"

"Wouldn't that just be a robot?" Ren questioned her, "No I think they'll look like people just like the other two did."

"So if all our weapons are alive then does this mean we have more members on our team? I mean I guess it won't be that much different I mean I always talk to Magnhild anyway, but this time I think I could hold an actual conversation with him her it."

"I'm sure you could," Ren said just agreeing with her.

"Think he'll obey me? Like I could have my own personal sidekick at my beck and call? You know aside from you? Then again I barley let you do anything for me so I guess I wouldn't use him that much for that kind of stuff I really would prefer to be independent. Maybe I could ask Weiss what you can get out of a butler or maid. Oooh or a robot butler or robot maid."

*Beep beep beep*

The two of them started hearing a beeping from their scrolls and unrolled them both. Jaune and Pyrrha were both on the screen.

"Red Star! Vomit Boy! Status report! Over!" Nora answered in her sergeant like voice.

"I don't want to be Vomi- ugh, we found Pyrrha's weapon's!" Jaune told her.

"Where were they?" Ren asked them in a normal voice.

"They just… launched themselves into the Emerald Forest. I think they were trying to run away from me," Pyrrha said.

"Running away?" Ren questioned.

"Yeah they said something about… 'Running away' and 'living for honor' something like that."

"What did they look like? … err I mean- can you give us a description of the enemy? Over," Nora asked.

"They looked like ancient Mistral gladiators, only… red and bronze," Pyrrha said.

"Ooh, were they made of metal? Over?" Nora said.

"No… I don't think so," Pyrrha said.

"Are you talking about robots?" Jaune questioned her.

"Do you know how long it will take you to find them?" Ren asked before Nora could say anything.

"I don't know, they used a panel to launch themselves and the rest of them are inactive," Pyrrha said.

"Well you better hurry, school starts in an hour," Ren said.

"Gasp, Breakfast, I just remembered! It's muffin day!" Nora said excitedly.

"Were on a mission Nora!" Jaune called out.

"We need to refuel… over," Nora said, "Come on Jaune please!? We'll get you guys some to," she begged him.

"Nora… sigh… what flavor you want?" Jaune asked Pyrrha.

"Blueberry."

"Two blueberries."

"Chocolate Chip, got it! Over."

"No I said blu-!" *beep* Nora shut off her scroll and started skipping along the hall.


"Sigh, we're not getting blueberry," Jaune told Pyrrha annoyed.

"It's fine, I've come to expect that from her," Pyrrha said equally annoyed.

"So… any idea on how long it would take to track them? Because we don't have that much time," Jaune asked her.

"Well… we definitely can't go in there without our weapons, which for me is impossible, since my weapons are in the forest. Not to mention that our real weapons are a lot weaker without them."

"Maybe the others found their weapon counterparts and we can get them to help us out. Though while we're doing that your guys could run away even farther," Jaune said looking down the cliff to the forest, "There's no way to keep up with them unless we risk our lives."

"You're right… what are we going to do?" Pyrrha questioned.

"Hup!" the two of them suddenly heard, looking to the left they saw both Miló and Akoúo climb back up the cliff looking towards the school.

"Look brother! Another one of those schools!" Akoúo said pointing right at Beacon.

"What luck!" Miló said proudly, "We can create a new identities! Live a new life of fighting! We can finally live the way we were made to live!"

"uh," Pyrrha said quietly getting the two's attention.

"huh?" the two weapons both looked to the left of themselves.

"OH CRAP!" Akoúo yelled in worry.

"You two-," Pyrrha tried to say.

"SHE FOLLOWED US TO THE OTHER SIDE!" Akoúo yelled.

"HOW DID SHE GET HERE SO FAST!?" Miló yelled with him.

"They still haven't realized it?" Jaune questioned.

"Um… Miló? Akoúo?" Pyrrha questioned a little hesitant.

"She doesn't know who we are?" Akoúo said surprised.

"Ah! We could use this to our advantage! We just need to give her different names so she'll think we're someone else," Miló said excitedly to his brother.

"Do they think we can't hear them?" Jaune asked Pyrrha worried.

"I am not Miló!" Miló told Pyrrha and Jaune, "My name is Akoúo!"

"And my name is Miló!" Akoúo said.

"So… you ARE my weapons?" Pyrrha asked them confused.

"It didn't work!?" Akoúo exclaimed in shock.

"Impossible! How could she figure it our!?" Miló said in shock as well.

"You just switched your names," Jaune told them.

"We need to run! Just jump!" Miló ordered his brother. The two of them suddenly jumped back off the cliff soon followed by the sound of two thuds hitting the ground bellow them.

"Which way should we head brother?" they heard Akoúo ask.

"The most noble direction! North!" they heard Miló say.

(one minute later)

"Hup!" Pyrrha and Jaune suddenly heard, they saw both Miló and Akoúo climb back up the cliff looking towards the school.

"Look brother! Another one of those schools!" Akoúo said pointing right at Beacon.

"What luck!" Miló said proudly, "We can create a new identities! Live a new life of fighting! We can finally live the way we were made to live!"

"We're still here!" Jaune called out to them.

"OH CRAP!" Akoúo yelled in worry, "THEY FOLLOWED US TO THE OTHER SIDE!"

"HOW DID THEY GET HERE SO FAST!?" Miló yelled with him.

"When you headed North did you just head up?" Jaune questioned them.

"Of course we did fool Knave!" Miló told him offended.

"North and up are two completely different things!" Jaune said annoyed at them, "and who are you calling a knave?"

"Um… you two," Pyrrha said still uncomfortable talking to her weapons, "Do you think you could come with us?"

"NO! NOT AGAIN!" Akoúo yelled in fear. Pyrrha cringed at his suddenly outburst.

"Hold on… I got an idea," Jaune told Pyrrha, "Oh no! Don't let them escape back into the school, it'll be impossible to find them there," he said without emotion pointing back to the forest for some reason.

"You hear that!?" Miló said excited, "If we go into this new school then we'll lose them! TO THE NEW SCHOOL!" he yelled running off in a hurry with Akoúo rushing behind him.

"No… don't…. stop," Jaune said still without any emotion in his voice.

"Wha-… what was?" Pyrrha said confused.

"They're obviously bad with directions, we might as well lead them back to the dorms," Jaune said slowly following the two weapons.

"Oh… right," Pyrrha said just staring at her weapons as they ran to the school.

"Is there… a reason they're like that?" Jaune asked Pyrrha.

"I have no idea," Pyrrha said just as worried as he was.


"You won't take me alive!" Ember Celica yelled out. Though she ran away from Ruby and Blake she moved with them thanks to the sash wrapped around her from Gambol Shroud. She was walking in one directions her body moved in the complete opposite direction.

"We need to go now, I'm sure the others have gotten the rest of the weapons, and I'm hungry," Ruby said.

"We still have some time before breakfast," Blake told her, she was carrying a few books of her own. Surprisingly the library did seem to have a few books for learning to read, though they were mainly for learning English they could help Gambol Shroud learn to read as well.

"I'm leaving behind my land, my people will need me!" Ember Celica yelled.

"What people?" Ruby asked her confused.

"The book people! I just want to go back to my home!" Ember Celica said.

"We 'are' going home," Gambol Shroud said.

"That stupid dorm!? It's boring! All you people do there is yell at each other about social status, about good and wrong, and you only read about the boring parts of history," Ember Celica started tugging on the sash and dug her heels into the ground. She wasn't nearly strong enough to resist as Gambol Shroud tugged her along. A dust cloud trailed behind her.

"… Wait a minute? You can read?" Ruby suddenly questioned.

"Duh!" Ember Celica said.

"How come you can read? I spend more time with books and Gambol Shroud can't read," Blake said.

"He spends his time on your waist, I spend time on Yang's wrist. I was able to learn from there whenever she held a book," Ember Celica said.

"You were alive that whole time?" Ruby questioned her surprised.

"No… Wait… yeah I think… I don't know," she said scratching her head in thought.

"It's more like, we've now become aware… as though we were asleep before and now we're awake," Gambol Shroud said, "It's complicated, I don't fully under myself."

"So you guys could always see-… oh god!" Ruby suddenly felt chills over her body

"What's wrong?" Blake asked her worried.

"I… always kept Cresent Rose in my room… and I did a lot of different things while holding it….I… ," Ruby's face started to blush.

"Cresent Rose hasn't found you yet?" Gambol Shroud asked her.

"You saw him… her?" Ruby questioned.

"Him," Gambol Shroud said, "And yes when we all… turned alive I suppose, I could remember that he was intent on returning to you. Apparently you showed him a lot of love and affection even as a weapon," he said causing Ruby to blush.

"Love and affection? What, did you sleep with your weapon?" Blake asked her.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh-."

"You did didn't you?"

"I couldn't help it!" Ruby exclaimed, "I spent so much time on my weapon! Every piece, every screw, gun barrel, riffle stock, blade, razor… I just felt so proud of him that I couldn't help but cuddle with him! He was cuddlier than a Teddie-bear…. Oh GOD! I got dressed in front of him telling him about my day!"

"You… talked to your weapon?" Blake questioned.

"Well I didn't think he would tell about it!" Ruby argued horribly embaressed and dreading what was sure to come.

*Beep beep* They heard their scrolls signaling, Ruby was the quickest to answer hers first.

"Whateverhe'ssayinghe'slying!" Ruby quickly answered.

"Uh… okay fine," Weiss answered, "Did you find them all?"

"We found mine and Yang's weapons," Blake said.

"We had Jaune's but she… *shudder* I need Jaune to come talk to her,"

"Where is she?" Blake asked.

"I… I don't know."

"You don't know?" Blake questioned, "Weren't you the one who was going crazy on finding them."

"She… she's a bit of a psycho."

"So you need Jaune to talk to her?" Ruby said.

"That or use him as a distraction so I can knock her out," Weiss said angrily.

"What about the rest of team JNPR? Who do they have?" Ruby asked her.

"Nora said they got Pyrrha's, can you believe that she's in the cafeteria right now. When we need them the most?"

"Lucky," Ruby said annoyed, "So all we need left are Nora's and… mine," she finished worried.

"We don't have nearly enough time, school starts in nearly half an hour," Blake said.

"We… w-we can skip class!" Weiss said.

"And then what? Tell the teacher our excuse?" Ruby said, "We can't tell them that we were our getting our lost weapons."

"RRRRgh! N-alright fine… guess I don't want a mark on my record anyway," Weiss said dejected.

"We'll drop off who we have," Ruby said, "After that we-ACK!?" Ember Celica suddenly jumped on Ruby's back and started talking.

"IS this the slaver!?" Ember Celica asked.

"Who's that?" Weiss asked worried.

"Ember Celica, Yang's weapon," Blake said.

"You can't keep us all locked up like animals!" she yelled.

"She sounds like a kid," Weiss said.

"She is, she looks like she's 10," Ruby said.

"11!" Ember Celica corrected.

"Just get her back to the room," Weiss said annoyed.

"This isn't the end! I will return, I will get out, I will escape, and when I find you I will Kill You!" Ruby and Blake suddenly started worrying.

"... …" *beep* Weiss quietly hung us on her side, clearly afraid to answer.

"Heh heh, I won't actually hurt her, but it's really fun to scare people like that," Ember Celica said happily.

"We clearly need to set some ground rules for you," Gambol Shroud said.


"Okay so… what do I do now?" Myrtenaster asked Ruby and Blake when she answered the door.

"Just keep the weapons here, we'll be done with classes in a few hours so… what's that?" Ruby questioned pointing at the fort of blankets and pillows.

"New Fort! Awesome!" Ember Celica ran past the group and dived into the tent like fortress.

"Oh… the Storm Flower Twins were bored so they decided to build a fort for themselves, and I'm supposed to attack them I guess?" Myrtenaster said.

"I'm in charge here!" Ember Celica yelled. Inside the fort both of the twins just seemed to automatically follow her word and bow to her. "Awesome! I got followers that aren't in my head, or paper," Ember Celica cheered.

"I'll make sure she doesn't destroy the place," Gambol Shroud said walking in.

"Thank you," Blake said dropping off the books on her desk, "We'll be off now, take care."

"Of course," Myrtenaster said. Ruby and Blake left closing the door behind them, but as Myrtenaster turned around there was suddenly another knock.

"Hello?" Myrtenaster asked opening the door.

"In here quick!" Miló yelled rushing in with Akoúo, "AH! There's a fortress for us to hide in!" he said rushing into the sheet fort with his brother.

"Miló? Akoúo?" Myrtenaster questioned them.

"WOO! More followers!" Ember Celica yelled happily.

"Quiet! We don't want to alert them!" Akoúo told her.

"We're trying to hide from Pyrrha! The she devil!" Miló said.

"She devil?" Myrtenaster questioned again.

"We overheard them talking! We can avoid getting caught by them if we stay in this room and wait for them to leave Beacon!" Miló said.

"We only need to wait four years!" Akoúo said.

"You two are aware how long four years are, correct?" Gambol Shroud asked them.

"Not really," Miló said, "But the way I see it, it can't be that long. It could take either a long time, or be really short."

"… you think they're gone yet?" Akoúo asked his brother.

"Um… you two," Myrtenaster started worried about the two, "You do know that they-OMPH!" she was silenced by a pillow to the face.

"Quiet Non believer!" Ember Celica yelled at her, "What's next in the ammunition reserve?"

"Pillow!" Storm Flower said.

"Then attack!" Ember Celica yelled.

"Wait wait I- OMPH- can't I just- OMPH! I surrender! I surre-OMPH!"

"Sigh… so noisy," Gambol Shroud said attempting the first book.


School time soon came, and team RWBY and JNPR both sat listening to one of professor Ports boring and tedious lessons. Though this time Weiss wasn't able to pay any attention as she kept worrying about the two leftover weapons that she couldn't focus. Even the other students could tell that something was bothering her.

"Weiss… you need to calm down," Ruby whispered to her.

"I can't… I still have to worry about Jaune's weapon, and your weapon is still out there," Weiss told her, "I don't even want to consider the kind of things Nora's weapon could get into…*Shudder* what if Magnhild is crazier than Nora?"

"If that were true, he'd probably be leveling this whole school by now," Yang said.

"Yang!" Ruby quietly yelled, Weiss was instantly wrought with dread.

"I didn't even think about that. What if they go crazy and destroy the school?" Weiss questioned covering her head like something was about to fall on her.

"It'll be alright Weiss," Ruby tried to comfort her.

"You don't understand, stealing is one thing, but defacing a school for the gifted and intelligent," Weiss looked over to Yang a second, "for the gifted."

"Hey I'm… not stupid," Yang said a bit dejected.

"If anyone gets word of me having any part of tearing down this school I'm finished," Weiss said in horror.

"Oh the weapons aren't that bad, I mean sure they're a bit immature but they wouldn't hurt anyone, would they?" Ruby asked Weiss.

"No they're pretty insane," Yang told her, "you should have met Jaune's weapon. Stone cold bitch with a heart of gold."

"Huh?"

As the group was talking Professor Port continued his Lesson on Grim Studies, todays topic was the ever common Beowolf.

"As we previously discussed, Beowolfs are pack hunters. You'll never find just one of them alone. They are also known to nest in large groups, known as clans. When Beowolfs aren't out hunting, they will all reside in the clan, this is the best time for Hunters and Huntresses to take them all down at once in an ambush," Professor Port told them, "However, many Beowolfs will usually circle around their territory defending the clan from attacks. If a guard wolf spots a threat it will immediately alert the others, even as it writhers in the clutches of death."

Behind Professor Port was one of his cages with a live Grimm that started snarling and barking out.

"Today we'll be learning how to take down a Beowolf silently, they have key weapoints in them that, if harmed correctly, will take them out and render them unable to howl out for help," Professor Port said, "Now then, who'd like to volunteer to give it a try?"

"I would," a male student said far from the back.

"Excellent, thank you mr…" Port trailed off.

"Cress Rose."

"PFFFFTT!" Weiss suddnely let out a huge gasp of air all at once and turned around to see the student, the rest of RWBY and JNPR turned their heads as well.

The person did have on a regular Beacon uniform on and he looked to be a regular student at first. His dark Onyx black hair had a tinge of white in it and his eyes looked deep red. Around his neck was a scarf of glowing white silver that seemed to float perpetually. As he walked down the steps a small updraft of rose petals flew up from his feet with every step.

A few of the other girl students started staring intently at him.

"Hubba hubba, Ruby your guy is hot," Yang said keeping her eyes on Crescent Rose, Ruby didn't answer as her jaw stayed dropped with drool nearly falling like a water fall.

As Crecent or Cress Rose stopped next to Ruby as she just sat there and started with her mouth still hanging open. Cress Rose lightly lifted his finger under her chin and closed her mouth.

"You might want to be careful with an open mouth," Cress Rose softly said, "A sweet thing like you is sure to attract lots of things."

"guuuhhUhh," Ruby mumbled unable to form a sentence as Cress Rose walked away.

"Okay… this is unfair, are you sure mines a girl… and looks 10?" Yang questioned Blake.

"What the hell is he doing here!?" Weiss quietly screamed in horror as Crescent Rose stepped in front of the class.

"Just don't make a scene," Blake told her, "He's still just another guy to the rest."

"Where the hell did he even get a Uniform!? He can't be here! Why the hell is he trying to imitate a student!? We're gonna get caught! I'm going to get caught!" Weiss said panicking.

"Miss Weiss," Port called out to her, Weiss froze in place, "Is there something troubling you?" he asked her.

"No no! I'm fine! I have no reason to be angry at the real human Cress Rose who is completely normal and real," Weiss said nervously.

"Yeah they'll never suspect anything now," Yang sarcastically commented.

"Alright then Mr Rose... where is your weapon?" Profesor Port asked him.

"I won't need it," Cress Rose said.

"Are you certain?" Professor Port asked concerned for his safety.

"If anything happens I'm certain you'll be able to help me," Cress told him.

"Ha! Well it's nice to see a student have some faith in me," Port said proudly walking over to the locked up Grimm, "alright then let's see what you've got."

Professor Port used his weapon to destroy the lock on the cage and let out a Beowolf. The Beast started growling as it started at Crescent Rose and started snarling at him. The Grimm got down on all four and started circling around him. The weapon didn't seem to react at all he didn't even turn his head to look at it.

"Remember, the neck is the best place to get it to go down quietly. The hard part is getting past those sharp jaws," Professor Port said.

The Beowolf barked as it lunged at Crescent Rose with its claw. On the first swipe Crescent Rose dodged it by ducking down. The second swipe was lower, this time Crescent Rose front flipped right over the Beowolf and landed right on top of his back.

The wolf tried to buck Crescent Rose off but he already had his arms around his neck.

*SNAP* With a loud snap the Grimm's head was twisted and it instantly stopped jumping around and fell with a thud.

"Excellent!" Professor Port beamed, "Very nice technique, it's usually a bit tougher to get their necks to snap due to their armor plating."

"I noticed some groove's around their back, I think they were mainly for turning their heads, I thought I could force them around even more," Crescent Rose said.

"Wonderful, with detective skills like that you'll make a fine huntsman," Professor Port said.

"I won't be able to do that," Crescent Rose said gently smiling in Ruby's direction, "It's my job to help someone else do that."

"Geeeeheh!" Ruby started blushing and slinking down her chair in embarrassment.

"Stop being charmed by him. You are NOT starting a relationship with him," Weiss told her.


Kisdota: Finally done, trying to work on this and my Persona fic, but it's difficult to finish the Persona Chapter for some reason.
