A/N:Hello everyone! Over 800 views as of this typing! I can not even begin to say how happy this makes me. You guys don't review anymore, though… That makes me sad… OH! And, i've decided that I will be doing pairings. Oregon will be paired with-
*BAM*
Oregon:Shut your fucking mouth and get onto my story! No one wants to read this shit, man.
ME:...was kicking down the door really necessary?
Oregon: It is if you're a badass like me.
ME:...Please review.
EDIT: I felt ashamed of how this was originally, so now i'm adding more to it. Yay.
SECHS
So many headaches…. and no zombies to take out my frustrations on. This new world may be zombie free, but it still sucks ass. The thing is, People aren't doing things on purpose! It's just everything their doing and acting so normal about it that's pissing me off.
Okay, that didn't make much sense now that I think about it. Let me explain.
Alright, after the little speech Ozpin had in the auditorium, I had lost track of Ruby and Jaune. So, I did the most logical thing and went to the dining hall. I had made my way over to where they were serving the food, and just marveled at the whole.. weirdness of it all. I had spent two years, having to fight for my life just to get a morsel of un rotten food to keep me going. And these guys can just get it whenever they want for free? Thats unfair as fuck, bro.
So, I sat down in some random spot with my tray full of food. Before I dug in, though, I took a look around at the giant dinner hall I was currently in. People were sitting around, laughing without a care in the world. They didn't know how easily this could all be taken away from them, how easily they could all just die. And the thing is? I was probably the only one who knew only one in this room, most likely in this entire fucking school that knows what it's truly like to lose everything in the blink of an eye. I couldn't help but feel that yet again I was all by myself. I shook it off, though. RIght now, there was a double bacon cheeseburger in front of me that need to get it's ass eaten by your's truly. But then before I could begin eating, a message played over the PA system.
" , please report to the headmaster's office."
I had just gotten the freaking food, too.
SO, after walking halfway across the school to Ozpin's office (the giant ass tower was a dead giveaway) as I stuffed my face with the burger, I entered an elevator leading up to the big guy's office, which opened up to a large pair of doors across from the opening. Once i had made sure that none of the food had gotten on my clothes, i walked up to the giant oak doors and knocked. I heard a "Come in" and let myself in. His office looked like it was modeled after a clock or something, which seemed kinda cool, I guess. The owner of said office sat in his chair with his hands crossed in front of him with his elbows propped up on the desk. He gestured for me to take a seat. After I checked to make sure there was nothing on the seat, I sat down.
"I hope I wasn't interrupting anything, Mr. Oregon." He began after he took a sip from a coffee mug that appeared out of thin air. Where did he get it from? YOU DECIDE!
"Eh, it's alright." I told him. "I've gone days without eating before, a few minutes ain't shit to me."
He seemed to frown a bit at my choice of words, but brushed it aside as he leaned forward a little bit in his seat.
"Oregon, I have called you in today to ask you a few questions. Most of which involve your history leading up to know, or more specifically, your lack thereof. Could you please be able to explain the reason why I can not seem to find even the smallest bit of information?" He questioned me.
At first, I had thought about making up some bullshit excuse as to how I was lost in the forest for awhile or something, but then I really thought about it. I was currently in a new environment with no idea what the fuck was going on, and Ozpin seemed like he was trustworthy… to an extent, anyways. I'm not a fuckin' idoit, I know that trusting someone without knowing them can lead to a bad time. But, I was short of allies at the moment, and this guy seemed like a valuable asset. So, I figured to give him a straightforward answer.
"Where to begin…" I said as I adopted a thinker's pose. I then stuck my hand in the air with my pointer finger extended towards the ceiling, the only thing missing was a lightbulb above my head. "Ah! Tell me Ozpin, are you familiar with the term 'zombie'?" I asked him. He nodded his head lightly in affirmative.
"You mean like the fictional ones in pop culture? Yes. Are they involved in this somehow" He asked me skeptically.
"Yes! Spot-freakin-on my man!" I exclaimed as I stood up in my chair. "Except where I come from, they aren't just in a movie." I said as I spread my arms out dramatically. "Two years ago, everyone where I came from were living one of their everyday lives There was no war getting everyone pissed off at each other, crime was practically non existent in my country, everything was cool. And then, out of nowhere, they came." I said as I adopted a more serious tone in my voice. "One moment, it was just one or two of them here or there. News reports told of how a new sickness was causing people to grow deathly ill, and then they would actually die. But then, they showed up in bigger clusters here or there, and eventually they took over small towns. Next thing we knew, full fledged cities were infected. These maggot sacks spread like wildfire, Headmaster." I leaned forward onto the table "They caught us by surprise, and thanks to that, hundreds of thousands of people died in the first day alone. The first, freaking day, Ozpin. Can you imagine what happened in two years time?"
"I can." I told him. I looked at him to see if he had any questions. His face seemed devoid of any emotions as he waved me on to continue. "I should know, I lived it. I've seen things that most people wouldn't even be able to handle, let alone react to. People starved, eaten, killed by those they used to call friends and family. The world I came from…." I looked out the window and pondered over what I just said. 'my world?' I thought to myself. 'If you can even call it that anymore...'
I then remembered that I was currently in this guy's office. I turned my attention back to him. "With all due respect, sir." I said, absolutely no pleasantness in my voice "You people have no idea how lucky you are."
"We are not without problems ourselves, Oregon. Although we are currently in a time of peace, It has not always been that way." Ozpin told me. It was seriously starting to piss me off, though. They had absolutely No Fucking Idea how lucky they have got it. I bet you he hasn't even seen someone torn apart in front of him. Someone he knew, for that matter.
Someone he used to call his friend.
"Ozpin, I realize that you have your little Grimm problem." I spat out, venom now in my voice. "But, it doesn't affect you every waking minute of every day. You can go to sleep at night without worrying about waking up to a zombie munching down on you." I raised an accusing finger at him as a snarl made it's way on my face. I saw his hand slowly get closer to his cane. "You don't have to worry whether or not the ones you love are going to have to become the very ones you have to kill. You don't-"
I stopped myself abruptly when I realised I was starting to lose it again. Why was this making me so angry? This wasn't like me. Was I starting to lose it? I know the doc back in Georgia said I most likely had developed some form of insanity from all the shit i've done, but god damn. I lowered my arm and scratched the back of my head sheepishly. "S-shit. I'm very sorry about that, Headmaster. I don't know where that came from." I apologized to him as I sat back down in my chair. Ozpin seemed to relax a bit as he layed back in his chair, coffee being held in both of his hands
"It is quite alright, Mr. Oregon. Though, I do find one minor detail that you said very interesting. Why is it that you addressed where you came from as your world?" He asked me. I both mentally and physically facepalmed myself. 'Way to go dumbass, You just said that. Now he's going to try and send me to a looney bin-'I thought to myself, until this time , Ozpin himself interrupted me. "No need to worry, Oregon. Your secret is safe with me." He said simply, which he followed up with a sip from his mug of coffee. I, on the other hand, just stared at him dumbfounded.
"So...That's it?" I began. He wasn't seriously just going to accept it like that, was he? "No questions? You're just going to accept it? Like that?" I asked him incredulously. I saw the faintest of smirks make it's way onto his face behind his mug. Omnipotent bastard.
"You need not worry, Oregon. This would not be the first time I have had to deal with a situation like this before." He told me with amusement evident in his voice. He then looked off in the distance. " I still have no idea what happened to that Uzumaki fellow. He was such a promising student…" He then directed his attention back to me. "Oh, and a second point I was going to cover. You see, normally teams here in Beacon consist of four and those teams have. obviously, two partners. But, due to the odd amount of students this year, you will have to be paired with two others to form a five man team. Just thought you would like to know ahead of time. Speaking of time…" He trailed off as he looked at a clock mounted on his wall, which showed it was currently 9:30. Holy shit, time flew by fast in the clock tower.
Somewhere nearby, Yang sneezed at all of the unaware puns being made.
I stood up from my seat and stuck my hand out to Ozpin, no longer feeling hesitant around him. He leaned forward and shook it, the smirk still on his face. "Thank you for your time, Oregon. I hope that someday we may sit and discuss more about your... world. If you are comfortable with that." I nodded back at him with my own smirk.
"I understand, Headmaster. All people have curiosity, even someone in your position. And again, I apologize for my erratic behaviour."I then took on a more blank expression. "I can guarantee you, It will not happen again." I told him honestly. I then turned and walked out of the clock themed office.
I had made it five steps away from the now closed oak doors when I heard someone coming up in the elevator. Thinking quickly, I looked around and saw a ventilation shaft above me. Jumping up to it and removing the grill (the thing that lets air through), before I got in and put it back just in time as the door opened to the elevator. And, out walked that woman from the police station, Glynda. I watched as she walked from the now closing elevator through the doors of Ozpin's office. Once the doors closed again behind her, I removed the grill and got back down on the ground after I put it back. I looked at the elevator, but then I looked back at the office. Maybe this would be a good time to get some more information.
Slowly approaching the doors, I knelt forward and pulled out a stethoscope and put it up to the door. (I know, I know, it sounds stupid, but it actually works.) At first, it was silent, but then i heard Glynda speak up.
"I'm hopping that you will keep a close eye on Mr. Oregon, Headmaster. I do not fully trust him. If what he told you is true, he may not be mentally stable enough to be around other students."
"Now now, Glynda." Ozpin responded. "While Oregon may be a mysterious figure, I do believe that the other students are safe. After all, Mr, Oregon hasn't even unlocked his Aura."
"But Ozpin, You have seen how he acts. I still think that-"Glynda continued, but she was cut off.
"Glynda, let me ask you something. How long have we been working together?" Ozpin asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Twelve years, sir."
"And in these past twelve years, have I ever made a decision that has put the students of Beacon academy in danger?" he asked her. I heard a loud huff before Glynda responded.
"No, sir. you have not."
I heard Ozpin chuckle lightly, and that was when I decided to walk away. I had to hand it to the guy, he just stood up for me, a complete stranger, simply because I was one of his students. looks as if this wasn't going to be a bad decision trusting him after all.
About five minutes later. or maybe ten. I don't know, I don't get paid enough for this shit.
Now, I was currently in the ballroom with people all around me, or more importantly, a bunch of girls in varying states of undress. Seriously, though, was this a school for supermodels or something? There was not one un-handsome or beautiful person here. Kinda makes a guy feel inadequate. As I was setting out a brown sleeping bag, I felt someone approaching me from behind. Before I even knew it, a bowie knife had made it's way from it's holster into my hand incase it was a hostile person. I felt them stop a few feet behind me before the person decided to speak up.
"Hey Oregon." I turned around, to see it was no other than Ruby, now dresses in a black top and sleep pants with roses on them. A small smile made it's way onto my face as I re-sheathed my knife and stood up to face her, now in my t-shirt and pants.
"Hey kid, what's up?" I asked her as I stepped closer and ruffled her hair playfully. She swatted at my hand and gave me a mock glare before speaking again. "I was just wondering if you wanted to come sleep by me and Yang. You looked kinda lonely, after all." She asked cheerfully. When she said that, however, I remembered a slight, little problem.
"Actually, Ruby, I kinda just remembered that I probably shouldn't sleep around a bunch of people." I told her as I picked up my stuff. She looked at me concerned as she grabbed my arm.
"What? Why is that?" She asked innocently. I looked back up at her with a blank stare as I picked up my last bag and began to walk away.
"I suffer from night terrors, Ruby. I normally end up waking up screaming. So, not the best place to sleep at." I said as I gestured around us. Ruby's face grew very concerned when i said that. I couldn't help but notice how she looked like a little puppy-
NO.
MANLY THOUGHTS.
"That's...bad. Are you sure you'll be okay, Oregon?" She asked me with worry in her voice. I, however, gave her a cheeky grin and just waved her off. But, before I could give her an answer, I saw Yang began to walk over with a grin of her own, wearing her yellow tank top and black short shorts. Okay, call me a pervert or whatever you want, but damn is she fine.
"Hey Rubes. So, what did he say?" she asked her little sister playfully, revealing that she was in the plan as well. She lost her confident look, however, when she saw Ruby's sad expression.
"He said he didn't want to cause he has.. What were they called?" Ruby turned halfway through her explanation to look back at me. I gave her a deadpan look.
"Night terrors. PTSD, all of that fun shit." I told them. Ruby frowned at my language, but Yang gave me another one of those concerned looks. Not gonna lie, this was kinda weird. It's been around a year and a half since I've actually had anyone who… well, gave a shit about me. And know, I had two people in front of me who were concerned about me. Two people that I just met, too.
The next thing I knew, Yang was snapping her fingers in front of my face to get my attention back. Shit, i was zoning out again.
"You okay Oregon? You were zoning out there." Yang asked me with that worried look still on her face. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and brought my attention back to them.
"You guys, I Appreciate your concern" I told them with a grin on my face "But trust me, i've been dealing with this on my own for awhile now. I'll be fine by myself." I reassured them. They didn't buy it, though, If the crossed arms from Yang and the pout from Ruby was anything to go by. Ruby then got inches from me and poked me on my chest.
"Nope."
"Nope?" I asked.
"Nope." she said again with a grin breaking through her pout. I couldn't help but chuckle at her innocence. Like I stated earlier, there was just something about this girl I liked. Not liked-liked mind you, I just met the girl. I mean, she's hot, but.. well…
Okay, that was a weird train of thought. Let's derail that shit.
"Fine." I relented finally. I saw Yang fist pump in victory as Ruby got that happy little expression back on her face. "But! Im not going to sleep in here. There are too many people here. And I'll warn you… it's not pretty." I told them as I re adjusted my bags and began to make my way to a nearby balcony I had found earlier. Yang and Ruby started walking by my sides with their stuff now in their hands, RUby looked up at me with a smile that could make a zombie stop and spontaneously combust due to it's cuteness level.
"What are friends for?" She said happily as she began to freaking skip ahead of us. I couldn't help but let my smile grow into a full on grin. I retract my earlier statement. This world may be different…
But I guess it ain't that bad.
A/N: Okay, so this is obviously a very short chapter, and I apologize for that. But I honestly can't think of any other opportunities in between that and initiation that I could use good ideas for that involve Oregon. But, Good news, next chapter is initiation! Yay! Now we actually get to see Oregon use his zombie fighting methods on the (Appropriately fucked ) creatures of Grimm. Oh! And another note, I was wanting to try something to help involve you guys as well. The chapter after next, I plan on doing a Q&A with Oregon if you guys PM me enough questions.
As for my other story, the metalist… ignore that one for a bit. It's probably going to be like the way it is for awhile, and eventually re-written once I get better at writing. And speaking of stories…
I looked at our surroundings to see we were in some sort of forest, with tall oak trees everywhere. I then turned back to John to ask him what our plan should be, but then was interrupted by a loud shouting nearby.
"NO, BAD DOG, GO EAT SERJ INSTEAD, HE'S FATTER!"
"I AM NOT FAT, DARON!"
"THAT'S BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT!"
John then looks over at me with a deadpan look on his voice. "Should we go help them, Shavo?" He asked me with an expression similar to his usual stoic face. I breathed a sigh of annoyance before answering.
"What are bandmates for, right?" I answered as we began to run towards the shouts.
….
Team SOAD vs RWBY anyone?
