Hey guys Rasputin Jr here just wanting to say thanks for reading to this spot and also want to say some stuff. I kinda hate montys rule about OC that they must follow some sort of fairy tale character and I'm like 'shit' so I'm just like most of the OC's I see don't fit any fairy tale so I'm like 'we're all in the same soup' so unless I somehow find a fairy tale version of Thane I'm just 'pfft'. Gama I can easily see as the Tin man cause he doesn't really want to feel anything but Thane is a problem but lets leave the subject cause you just got a new chapter. Enjoy and thank you.
Chapter9: Bring it.
The journal club didn't sleep a wink last night after the mentally scaring night. When day break came the Prez braved to get back the video that was lost when they ran away. She came close to the entrance where they had decided to enter in the first place. The video laid in the exact spot where she had dropped it. She inched closer and closer with each step being weary of the hatch that might open letting out another nightmare. It was in reaching distance as sweat fell from her brow. She quickly snatched it and ran away as fast as her legs can take her. When she came back to club room she quickly opened the door and closed it. The last three members glanced at her as she held out the Camera to Tim.
"We need to show the world what happened when we were on there." The Prez said as Tim plugged it into his scroll. The video began to play from the last ten minutes of playing.
"Who are those two?" Angie asked as the video showed the two guys sitting on the balcony. One had a guitar while the second was singing away.
"Wait let me find the audio file." Tim said as everyone listened to the song that was made that night.
"Enhance the video on their faces." Tim followed the Prez's orders until the pixel faces became as clear as day.
"Mother of Monty. Those pricks." The Prez said as she clenched her fist. "They'll pay big time for this."
…
Team RWBY decided to go shopping to buy what they had planned for a long time.
"I can't wait to get my hand on the new fragmentation ammo for my baby." Ruby said with glee.
"Guns just make you fangirl don't they Ruby?" Blake asked as Ruby turned into her chibi form with shiny eyes.
"Well Ruby can buy what she wants. I'm getting my designer made platforms from Lindsay's." Weiss boasted.
"Remember the Beacon ball is in about so I need to get a dress that says I'm open but not to open." Yang said they walked to the Vale bank's atm.
Weiss inserted her atm card to withdraw money but an error came up. She tried again five times in different machines before going inside. "Excuse me ma'am but I'm unable to find the money that should have been transferred to me by my father."
"Oh I'm sorry but you see the system was hacked so any money that was transferred went straight to the hacker so we have our technicians trying to fix the problem." The bank teller said crushing everyone's hope of buying anything.
"When is the earliest it will be fixed?" Ruby asked.
"The earliest they said is about two weeks and the latest is five weeks." The teller answered.
"Thank you for telling us." Weiss said as she stomped away with her team.
….
Everyone stared through the windows of the stores they wanted to shop at but slowly pulled out their pockets only having around 100 liens each. They sat on a bench not knowing what to do for money.
"Should we look for jobs?" Blake finally said.
"No, the only person that can probably keep a job is probably Blake and that's probably." Weiss said with her head hung low.
"Didn't Nora saying robbing something for money." Yang remembered.
"Something around those lines but it's still a stretch." Blake said remembering Nora's idea.
"Well what was it?" Weiss asked putting them on the spot.
"We don't know. You need to ask her yourself." Yang said as Weiss quickly began dialing Nora.
"Wow you really want those shoes." Ruby said.
"They are only out for this week before they get taken off the shelves forever so yes I want those damn shoes." Weiss made it clear she wanted those shoes.
Nora picked up the call as her face popped up on the scroll. "Hi Weiss. How are you today?"
"Um fine. Hey do you remember when…"
"Come on Weiss this is the first time you've ever called me lets have some girl talk."
"Sorry Nora maybe later but…"
"You want to rob someone don't you?" Nora asked with a sly smile.
"How did you know..."
"I can just tell, it's a girl thing, maybe we'll girl talk later." Nora's eyes swelled a bit with tears before she wiped them.
"I'm sorry Nora. We can have it tonight if you want."
Nora went back to her normal self. "I'd love to."
"Okay so who do we rob to get money?" Weiss asked her.
"Who's the two newest people to join our group and he has two pet grimm."
"The aliens?!" Weiss screeched.
"Yeah look at this." Nora held out the five gold coins. "Gama gave me more but Ren only let me take five coins."
"Those are made with gold right."
"Yup. They have an entire vault filled with gold."
"Thank you Nora we'll have our girls night tonight."
"Yay" Nora yelled excited as Weiss hung up.
"Alright we need to come up with a plan guys on how we're going to get that gold." Weiss said as she turned to her team.
"Weiss are sure you want to steal from them? They could probably obliterate us as we speak about stealing his money." Ruby put her own thought in.
"Ruby do you want those bullets?"
"I DO. I REALLY WANT THEM!" Ruby pleaded.
"Then help me with this heist. Are you two in or out?" Weiss asked.
"I can never let my baby sister do something this dangerous alone." Yang answered before turning to Blake waiting for a response.
Blake sighed "I always seem to dragged into these kind of situations so might as well do it now." Blake answered in defeat.
"Alright then this is the best plan that I see fit." Weiss said
(INSERT MISSION IMPOSSIBLEISH MONTAGE I DON'T KNOW I DON'T WATCH THAT MANY SPY MOVIES)
"Ruby you go and bake some cookies for Thane and Gama but put some of that morphine lilies in the batch. We want them to go to sleep not put them in a coma. No actually dump as much as you can in there. When their asleep I want you to tie them up and keep an eye on them. Me, Yang, and Blake will head to the safe. We need to get through the hallways without alerting any of those lizard things of what we're doing so we need to enter casually with our duffel bags."
"What do we do about the safe because the way Nora described it would be a huge problem to open up?" Yang asked.
"That's why we have Blake here to use her incredible ears to open it." Weiss put her hand on Blake's shoulder as Blake just blankly stared at her.
"When we open it, we fill our bags with as much gold as we can and run out the window and off the balcony. Then we're home free." Weiss finished.
"Are you sure they won't know that we took their gold?" Ruby asked.
"They won't know, all that they'll know is that they took a nap. If that's all the questions then lets get to work."
…..
"Ruby did you give them the cookies?" Weiss asked.
"Yeah, they took the bait now we just have to wait." Ruby said as she closed the door to her dorm.
A few minutes later they sent Blake to check on the two aliens. All she saw was Thane knocked out on the floor while Gama was knocked out on his work bench.
"They're out cold." Blake said on her scroll. She waited for the rest of her team as she tied them up to chairs in the dining room.
"Where are they?" Weiss asked as she walked into the room. Blake pointed straight at them as they both held their heads down in sleep.
"Who knew they would eat the cookies right after they got them." Yang said as she picked up Thanes head going for a kiss.
"Yang what're you doing?!" Ruby stopped her in her tracks.
"What he's asleep he'll never know." Yang said like nothing.
"Guys, were on a mission remember!" Weiss interjected.
"Later." Yang whispered in his ear before walking out with Weiss and Blake leaving Ruby to take care of the two aliens.
"Alright guys if we follow the map that Gama gave us we should come up to the room." Weiss said as her scroll showed a map of leviathan that Gama gave them so they wouldn't get lost. They walked with Blake in the lead who stopped them whenever a lizard was nearby and was about to see them. They finally found the large wooden doors that lead to Thane and Gama's room. She slowly opened the door and waved the two teammates inside.
Yang whistled as she saw their room and how much stuff they had. Blake was more interested in the collection of books that Gama had on his side and then to Thane's side of the room. Weiss on the other hand was focused on the mission as her eyes fell on the massive safe that was in the wall.
"This is it guys, this is the safe." Weiss stared at the safe with her arms wide open as if ready to receive the money. "Blake you know what to do." Blake nodded and took off her bow as she placed her cat ears against the safe as she began turning the dial until a click was heard then began turning the dial the other way.
"Wow, I didn't know you could open safes." Yang said.
"White fang taught me a lot about cracking safes." Blake said as she kept turning the knob then went to the next lock.
"I didn't know you that open about yourself." Yang said.
"Gama taught me a lot about sharing and what to keep inside. It's weird but I like it." Blake said as she opened the last lock pulling the massive vault door wide open. The shine of the gold glowed on their skin as they held their breath with their eyes wide open and their jaws hitting the floor.
"We're rich!" Weiss yelled as she hugged her teammates who still stood in disbelief.
"Why are we standing here, start stuffing it!" Yang yelled in excitement as they began stuffing their bags with as much gold as it could hold. Yang had two bags slinged over her shoulder as the other two held only one.
"Alright now we just walk out those windows and we're home free." Weiss said as she walked to the window. She was about to reach for the knob until metal shutters fell from the top of the window stopping their only easy way out of the whale. "What happened?" Weiss asked as she tried to open the door with all her might but found it impossible. "Ruby what's going on?" she asked through the scroll. Silence was heard. "Ruby answer me." Still silence came from the other side.
Ruby laid on a couch in the living room unconscious with her arms and legs tied together by rope. "I'm glad we're not rapist." Thane said as he stood next to Gama who had put the ship in lock down.
"They tried stealing our treasure, who knew they were planning that." Gama said as he began counting down. "Three, two, one." He pointed at the corner of a hallway as the last three members of RWBY ran into the room holding bags of gold.
They stopped like deer's in a headlight when they saw Thane and Gama standing in front of the exit. Thane had an uncertain smile while Gama stared at them blankly. "Uhh well this is kinda awkward." Thane said. The girls were speechless as they held the bags of gold. "Umm we'll forget this ever happened. Just drop the bags and go. Just, just, just don't make the problem worse." Thane said as he held his hand out.
Weiss had an internal conflict going on in her mind. It was either her freedom or the shoes and the shoes were winning. "Nooooo!" She screamed as she used her rapier to rush him. Thane took out his other hand and blew a green sparkly dust into Weiss's face. Weiss blinked a bit as her vision began to fade before falling unconscious.
"Sneezy fuzz. Very good at putting yourself to sleep." Thane said as he waved the air trying to dissipate the dust. "But I'm guessing that you guys will follow her so, Gama."
Gama took out a silenced pistol and fired a shot at each of them. They felt a sting as Yang reached at the spot and plucked out a dart with feathers at the end. "Tranquilizer dart…" That was the last thing she said before they both fell on the ground.
….
Weiss began to open her eyes when she noticed she was here before. She was back in Thane and Gama's room. She tried to move but found herself tied to a chair unable to move. She looked around and found her teammates also tied up. Ruby and Yang were still unconscious but Blake was awake and reading her book but without the use of her hands Gama was sitting next to her holding the book and flipping the pages when she finished a page.
"Blake what are you doing?" Weiss asked as her as they both turned to her.
"Reading." She said back.
"I know that, but tch ahh… Ruby wake up. Wake up" Weiss turned to Ruby who started to wake up from her nap.
"Hmm good morning Weiss." Ruby said as she woke up from her nap. "Hmm whats going on." Ruby started realizing her situation and began to freak out. "Yang! Yang! Wake up! Help me!" She screamed causing Yang to wake up and look around until she found her sister.
"Don't worry Ruby." She tried to launch herself with her chair but fell face first on the wooden ground. Gama glanced at Yang with a sigh and put the book on Blake's head and helped Yang back up. "Thanks."
Gama nodded and went back to Blake and reopened to the page where she left off until Thane walked in holding a pot of fire wood, coals and a bag of mysterious items. Thane set the pot and lit the wood on fire with a match. He pulled up a chair and sat next to it as Gama joined him.
"Okay then. This is going to be a very weird session but let's have fun with this." Thane said with a grin. "I mean you guys had a good plan but it was very bare bone." Thane got up and began walking around them. "The first problem was trying to make me eat my own plants. I mean I was about to take a bite because I thought 'Ruby likes cookies so these cookies should be good.' but then I smelled that scent of morphine lilies. It's like trying to kill an exterminator with his own poison."
"So you guys were acting that entire time." Ruby said.
"Yup, And Yang what did mean by 'later'?" Thane asked Yang who just smiled.
"You should know." She replied.
"Anyways, second we switched our cookies with Ruby's cookies so when she got hungry she went to our cupboards and ate those drugged cookies so it was merely a waiting game until she ate them."
"RUBY!" Weiss screeched.
"I'm sorry I got hungry and I just say that package Patellos chocolate chips and I when I took that first bite I just blanked out." Ruby said in her defense.
"You're hopeless sometimes Ruby." Weiss said.
"Third problem was when you turned the first dial on our safe." The girls looked at him confused. "Those three locks on the safe are actually alarms. People think when they see that they have to open those locks to get the money but in actuality…" Thane knelt down in front of the vault and took out a panel of the floor and took off a panel on the floor and held a small key. He went to the first lock and moved it aside revealing a key hole. "It's hidden to all. Always think outside the box." Thane put the key in opening the safe as Gama dumped the duffel bags full of gold back into the safe.
"Okay then you must understand that in order for us to forgive you guys we at least need to know why you tried to steal from us. So you have two choices, the easy way or the hard way and Gama likes the hard way." Thane said as team RWBY stared at Gama who just stared at them with an evil grin.
Ruby turned to Weiss but she just mean mugged back as if telling her to keep quiet. For the girls this was a battle of pride in what they wanted to buy so they all kept their mouths shut. Thane sat for second eyeing them down until he got the message.
"Well I guess it's the hard way in the end. Gama what should we do with Yang." Thane asked his accomplice. Gama took out some hair clippers and turned them on as he inched his way toward her. All that could be seen on her face was pure terror. "Gama were not that evil."
Gama sighed and put the clippers away. "Fine." Gama said to Thane who rummaged through the bag and took out a CD. "Everyone likes music, even I like music, but sometimes I sing myself. Right Weiss?" Thane held the CD in front of her face when her eyes widened at the sight of her songs that were still in the rough for her new album. Thane held the disc over the fire awaiting her answer but Weiss only glared at Thane as he inched it closer to the flames.
"You're bluffing." Weiss spat back. Thane moved it closer until it began to blacken and melt before he dropped it in the pot of flames with a grin. Weiss's eye twitched with anger as she internally screamed after spending literally dozens of hours on those new songs.
"Well don't worry we still have two others that we can sing like a canary." Thane rummaged back and took out two packs of patellos chocolate chips and opened them both letting the aroma flow around the room. Gama took about six cookies and ate them next to Thane. Thane took a few cookies out and enjoyed them himself while Ruby's mouth watered.
"Man look at all these cookies we have left Gama and I can't find anybody who could honestly eat all these cookies so I guess we have to throw them away." Thane said as Ruby's mouth watered.
"I believe so Thane." Gama took a package of cookies and began dumping cookies in the fire one by one while Ruby rived around in rage.
"Ruby calm down its just cookies." Weiss tried to calm her down but Ruby just turned teeth grinding and eyes full of rage.
Thane finally dumped the last cookie of his package and put the plastic in the fire as the aroma of chocolate filled the air. "Well we still have nobody talking but also Yang you should be thankful that we're not going to cut your hair off but I think Blake is another story." Thane put his hand in the bag and brought out the last item which made Blake's eyes widen at the sight. Thane held the third book of ninjas of lust in his hand but not just any ordinary hardcover book.
"Is that the…" Blake began.
"Yes it is the limited edition of Ninjas of lust, behind the shadows. The third installment of the series…" Thane said as he looked at the cover.
"They only made fifty copies of that book."
"Yes that's because it has the graphic novel, the audio tape, and the author's notes." Blake watched him intently as he moved it closer to the flame. Blake held her breath inch by inch as she leaned forward trying to get her temptation as the corner of the book began to catch flame.
"WE WERE TRYING TO STEAL ENOUGH GOLD SO WEISS CAN BUY HER SHOES, YANG COULD BUY HER DRESS, AND RUBY COULD BUY SOME NEW BULLETS. I JUST WANTED IT SO I COULD SECRETLY BUY THIRD BOOK. THAT'S ALL WE WANTED I SWEAR!" Blake screamed at Thane.
"Thank you for your honesty Blake." Thane said as the book caught aflame until it was nothing but an ash pile on the ground.
"NOOOOO!" Blake yelled in agony as Gama untied them. Blake immediately fell on the ground trying to put the ash pieces together thinking she could glue the book back together. While Weiss held Thane above the ground by his collar.
"Do you not know how much time it takes to make a single song?" Weiss said in her most threatening voice as Thane just grinned.
"Actually yes but I can't make songs I only sing them, but Gama is the musical one." Thane said as Gama held out a USB to Weiss.
"I finished all your songs for you. If you ever need an editor for your music just ask me and I can finish it in less than an hour." Weiss took the USB and plugged it into her scroll and began listening to the edited songs. Thane produced a new pack of cookies from the bag and tossed them Ruby who immediately forgave them both.
"Blake you alright there?" Gama asked her as she was on her knees crying. "Me and Thane got you a gift." Blake looked up at the two of them as Gama took out a book from behind his back and held it in front of her.
She quickly took it and read it to see it was the book they had just burned. "But how?" Blake asked.
"If you're asking how we got it, it was an auction and all I gotta say is that there are some crazy bookworms who were dropping liens like they were flatcakes." Thane said.
"The book he burned was just some thick handbook for airship maintenance and maneuvers, just copy the cover and paste it on and there you have it, a phony book.
"Thank you." Blake hugged Gama who just stood frozen not knowing how to react to it.
"Get off, get off, get off." Gama grunted before being able to pry himself from her grip.
"Now that's that settled we have a proposition that you girls might like." Thane started. "As you guys can still see Leviathan is still messy from the crash so we were wondering if you guys could possibly help us clean up and in return we pay you but for your work today we will buy those items that you would risk your necks to get. How does that sound?" Thane awaited their answer.
The girls huddled together for a second to discuss the proposition before turning back to both of them. Ruby took a step forward and said her group's decision. "We agree." Ruby said to Thane as they shook hands on it.
…
"Why are we wearing something as embarrassing as this?" Weiss said as she looked down at her maid dress.
"It's so we don't dirty our original clothes." Blake said without looking away from the book.
"Is it just me or is the top part kinda tight." Yang said as she walked in.
'Curse you, you damn cow.' Weiss thought to herself.
Thane and Gama were outside on the ground with Ruby who also wore a maid outfit. "You guys know that I was joking about the maid outfit part, right?" Thane asked.
"Don't worry I like it, it's cute." Ruby said as she hugged herself.
"Anyways were off to the city." Thane placed two fingers on his lips and whistled for a second until something flew from the underside of the giant whale. The creature was flat and circular except for the long tail that trailed behind it. It landed in front of Thane awaiting for him to get on. "Wanna get on Gama?" Thane asked.
"I'm alright." Gama said as his jet pack sprouted out of his back letting him take to the skys.
"Ok then I see how it is." Thane said as he sat on the Manta ray and patted its head making it take to the sky. It was slow at first but soon began to gain speed until it was easily catching up to Gama.
"Don't see that every day." Yang said as she watched them both fly toward the city.
"Well come on team we have the ship for ourselves ,so lets do it. Banzai!" Ruby said as her team backed her except Weiss.
"Can't beat'em, join'em." Weiss said as she held her fist up as well.
Ruby began dusting and wiping most of the surfaces she could find while Yang picked up most of the junk that littered the floors. Blake was washing the windows with one hand while the other was used to read her new book. Weiss seemed to be having some trouble trying to mop the floors.
"Weiss you know you have to squeeze the mop before you start right." Ruby said.
"I'm sorry Ruby but I never mopped before okay." Weiss said back.
"Really? Then why did call dibs on it."
"Well I've always seen my servants do chores around the manor and it never seemed too hard."
"Weiss all it isAaahhh." Ruby tried to show her but slipped on all the water that was on the ground. "Oww"
"Sorry Ruby I just…"
"Its alright Weiss just squeeze the mop this time okay." Ruby said as she got up trying not to slip.
Weiss felt a bit guilty about not knowing how to do a single chore but she didn't let it get the best of her. She continued mopping when she got a message from Yang. She opened it and saw a video attached to the message and then Yangs text that said. 'I think they're in trouble.' Weiss pressed play showing the Leviathan but was focused on the balcony where she saw two figures she recognized. One was playing the guitar on a lazy boy couch while the other was lying on the railing of the balcony staring at the stars while singing a song no body heard before.
'Love is so different here in another hemisphere. All I can do is stare your pretty, stare at your pretty face…' the singer sang while the other plucked each string. Weiss slowly dropped her scroll in the realization of who were making the music.
"Yang! Where did you get this video?!" Weiss said as she made her way to Yang.
"Oh shit! Weiss don't scare me." Yang said as she was picking up a suit of armor.
"Where did you get this video?" she repeated.
"It just showed up. It's already got almost 8 million views."
Weiss's eye twitched when she began reading the comments. 'OMG I 3 his voice.' 'Who are these guys?' 'I want to marry the guitarist.' 'With fingers like his I don't think any woman can resist him.' 'Let's name them the balcony freaks on haunted ship' 'Hell yeah.' The comments continued like this for a good hundred pages until they came to the very first comment that said 'FIRST!' Weiss balled her fist as she through Yangs scroll to a nearby potted plant.
"Whoa! Watch whos stuff you throw around." Yang said as she checked her scroll.
"This… is… such…bull." Weiss said through gritted teeth.
"What happened?" Ruby said when she heard the crash.
"This!" Weiss showed the video to Ruby.
"What can they not do?" Ruby said in disbelief.
"What bull is this!? I spent years, practice after practice of performing and I had to crawl my way up to where I am now and these two just got here and already having 8 million fans right off the bat!" Weiss stomped the ground in frustration before walking away to cool her head.
"What's wrong with her?" Yang asked.
"Celebrity problems." Ruby answered.
"Oh."
…
Thane and Gama just walked out of the shoe store with Weiss's shoes as well as holding all the other bags that were for the rest of the girls.
"Who knew you wore the same size as Weiss." Thane said as they walked out of the store.
"She said one of us needed to be able to fit in those damn shoes and it sure as hell wasn't going to be you with your big foot twelve inch ass feet." Gama replied back. "Never speak of this again."
"My lips are sealed."
"Anyone else on the list."
"Not really we got everyone. Did you buy that vase for the flowers?"
"Yeah."
"Red?"
"Yup."
"Cool." Thane finished before they walked in silence. "There isn't a lot that we need to buy is there?"
"Not really. Food wise we got everything we need." Gama replied. They kept walking until Gama stopped walking and made a 90 degree turn to an alley way. Thane kept walking until he noticed he was missing. Gama was walking into an alley where he heard a disturbance.
"Stop crying and toughen up you little prick!" a teen said as he kicked a younger teen on the floor.
"If you want to get stronger then you got to go through the pain…" the other teen was talking before they felt cold metal touch the back of their heads. They slowly turned to see Gama dual wielding his revolver and his pistol.
"Leave before know what happens." Gama said in a tone that added to his intimidation.
The two teens stared wide eyed before running off frantically. Thane helped the teen on the ground get back on his feet but he pulled his arms away from Thane and gripped his stomach. "I don't need your damn help. The only way for me to get as strong is to go through the pain." The teen was no older than Ruby. He had short purple hair, he had a darker complexion than Gama and had green eyes. He had bruises covering his stomach area and swelling on the face with a black eye. Thane reached to help him out but he started limping away out of the alley.
"Follow him?" Thane asked Gama. Gama nodded.
The teen limped into the building that was next to the alley as Thane and Gama stood in front of the building. "Gin-Po Wrath fighting style." Thane read the sign that was lit up in the front. They both looked at each other and shrugged before walking in. They walked into the building to see it was a dojo. Many of these students were sparring against each other but weren't holding back so when you punched, it was knuckles hitting your face hard. The master was the oldest man there which was a middle aged bald man with a stubble growing on his face. He was listening to the two teens that Gama scared off before he stared at his new possible students.
"That's the guy! The one who pointed the gun at us." The teen said as he pointed at Gama.
The teacher glared at the aliens before walking up to them. He pumped his chest out trying to make his size bigger. "You have some nerve to threaten my student and then to waltz into my domain disrespecting my dojo."
"Firstly your students were beating the cream out of your younger student and it had to solved some way. Secondly it ain't disrespecting if I'm walking into some raggedy rachet poor excuse of a dojo whose master knows nothing on training the youth." Thane said in front of his face.
The master chuckled before taking off his white t shirt and stepping onto the middle platform. "Feel the pain, and then disrespect. Everyone gather around and see what the power of pain is." The students sat around the platform awaiting for the savage beatdown. The purple haired kid was the last to make his way to his spot.
"Hold my shit Gama I'm about tear this a-hole a new a-hole." Thane said as he gave him his bags. Gama nodded.
Thane jumped on the platform ready to fight. "No shoes and shirts that's the sign of a real fighter." The 'Master' said taking his stance.
"Alright then." Thane took off his shoes and his button up shirt with his white shirt and through them to Gama. The other guys body looked like a new born baby compared to Thanes body which was covered in scars and the newest scars he got when the hydra ripped him apart.
The oldest student held a gong out and waited for his masters sign to start. Thane bowed and got back up. "Pain is a part of training but it is not what you should base your entire training on. I mean what's the point of being able to take a punch when you already have broken bones to begin with." Thane said before grinning waiting for his opponent.
The 'master' nodded making the student ring the gong. He circled around Thane planning his first attack. He kept moving around until he charged Thane. Thane simply turned his head to see his attack before saying "Gemini". His opponents fist missed him by a millimeter as he moved hand under his shoulder locking his arm. He tried to pull away until Thane said "jugular." Thane did a quick karate chop to his adams apple causing him to gasp for air. Thane let him go as he gasped for air until he tried a surprise upper cut. To everyone it look like it connected with his chin but in realty Thane did a back flip landing a kick on the 'masters' chin sending him flying to the edge of the platform. His eyes widened when he saw Thane in the air above him with his heel above head. He rolled out of the way as Thane landed on his last spot doing a standing 180 split kick he then slowly brought his leg back to the ground allowing his opponent to gather himself. The 'master' took back his stance and went again for the offense with a back hand punch but Thane caught it with both his hands and judo flipped him over his shoulder. He laid on the ground for a second before getting back up and tried a straight leg kick to Thanes gut but he caught it and said "Knee cap". He was confused for a second before Thane elbowed it before he let his leg go where he started favoring his leg trying not to put too much pressure on it. Thane stood and waited for him to balance himself until he went for another jab for his left eye which many believed was his blind side. "Shoulder, kidney, thigh" Thane ducked under the punch and did a combo punching below the arm pit dislocating his shoulder, elbowing his kidney, and then did a swift leg kick to his thigh giving him a Charlie horse in the already messed up leg. The 'master' laid on the ground of the platform groaning in pain before his students came to help their sensei up.
"Get off me I can do it myself you useless worms." He said getting off the ground. "What kind of crap was that? When you fight in this dojo you fight Gin-po style."
Thane started to put his clothes back on before replying. "Sorry to break it for you but if you try any of those types of moves in the real world. Prepare to get your ass kicked." Thane said as he took his share of the bags back from Gama.
"Zircon honor your dojo and kick their ass's." He said to the purple haired boy who had just been beaten black and blue. The teen stared at his master in disbelief. "What are you waiting for? Do it!" Zircon took a moment to get up and slowly made his way to Thane and stood before him.
He looked back at his master and then back to Thane who put his hand on Zircon shoulder. He was scared until Thane said "It doesn't seem like you're his student seems like your more of a slave. Trust me I've seen it before." Thane said before they started to walk away leaving Zircon standing there thinking.
"I knew you were pathetic weakling…" a teen approached him from behind before Zircon landed a heavy hay maker to his face.
"I've had it with your bullshit. I've been here for months and all I've been is a monty damn punching bag when these two showed me more respect in two seconds then you f**ktards have ever shown me in my entire time here." He began walking towards the door before his sensei stooped him.
"You dare desert your master and dojo?" he asked Zircon as he stood at the open door.
"Desert more like screw you." Zircon said before slamming the door. "Hey wait up!" he called after the two aliens as they turned the corner. He turned the same corner to see them gone. He looked around frantically before running around like a chicken without a head, but if he had looked across the street he would've seen them at the café.
Thane was enjoying a chocolate milk shake while Gama drank some black coffee. "Well that was an ass whopping." Gama said as he took a sip leaning back in his chair.
"I came to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I can't find any gum around here." Thane said taking a sip.
"You could've just left him alone right?"
"If you train with pain alone then your not learning anything. You need to push yourself and see yourself getting better, faster, stronger. That what real training is. I just have to thank Sensei Caesar for all the skills I know today."
"True but I remember when you got scared the first time you fired a gun. Even when you were looking down the barrel you still couldn't hit the broad side of a barn."
"Hey. Don't make me remind you when you tried to throw a punch and almost kicked your own ass."
"Fist are irrelevant when you try to beat an enemy in the most logical way."
"That's something weird that I don't get. You can take a bullet like a champ but as soon as a finger touches you. It's like my only weakness 'Fingers' and 'skin contact'." They kept dissing each other not noticing a group of freshmen girls that were on a shopping spree taking a break.
"OMM Brad texted me and said 'lol wanna go out' and I was like 'sorry but you nothing compared to balcony freaks." She said to her friends without looking off her scroll.
"Lol he's such a loser." Another girl said.
"I can't stop listening to his voice." The third said while she had her headphones on. They took the seat next to them as they giggled and text each other before her headphones accidently unplugged themselves from her scroll blaring out the music.
"Come down for a drink or two and sit beside the windows view…" The two aliens stopped talking and stared at where the music was coming from.
"Whoops sorry about that…" she said before she saw Thane and Gama staring at her. She recognized the faces and slowly put two and two together. "OMM. ITS THEM!" She yelled at her friends who quickly turned to see them go back to normal trying not to look at them.
"It is them." Realization dawned on both of the girls friends as Thane and Gama hastily got up and left the money of the bill on the table with the tip. They quickly walked out with their bags and started walking away from the shop but the girls already took pictures and with the power of social media like grimmer and facescroll the entire town soon knew who to look for.
They had just left the café about five minutes ago before about ten pre teens rushed them with fan made posters and magazines that had the aliens on the cover. They put the names that they were given before it seemed like platoons were being sent at them. Soon they began to get over whelmed and started running as fast as their legs could take them.
"Don't worry Gama as long as we stick together we can make it out of this. We just need to find the manta." Thane turned his head to see Gama was no longer next to him. "YOU SHIT HEAD!" Thane screamed over the roar of the mob behind him. He ran past an old man putting up a sign that said 'reopening' and across the street before a hand pulled him into a random store. "Help! Rape, Rape! Wait people don't come to help when you yell rape. FIRE! DONUTS! FREE WIFI" Thane stopped when a hand was placed over his mouth.
"Shut up Thane. We're safe here." Gama said as he calmed Thane.
"Thanks man and thanks to those blacked out windows." Thane said as he looked around the room seeing three people with them. "Is this a bookstore?"
"Seems so." Gama answered.
"Hello" Thane said to the other people in the room.
"Hi." The green haired girl replied. The gray haired guy just rolled his eyes.
"Um Welcome to Tuxens book store. Home to every book under the sun. Is there anything I can help you two with today?" the man behind the counter greeted.
"Do you happen to have any books about quantum dust physics or ballistic?" Gama asked him.
"Yes, its on your left in by the windows." Tuxen said.
"Thanks." Gama slowly turned allowing his hanging goggles to scan the faces of the people in the room. When he chose his books two records came up that peaked his interest.
"Anything for you?" Tuxen asked.
"It's more of a personal book but do you happen to have a book called captain underpants?" Thane asked.
Everyone stared at him until Tuxen said. "I'm sorry but I've never heard of any book like that." Tuxen replied.
"So you really don't have every book under the sun." the green haired girl replied.
"Its just a catchphrase." Tuxen replied.
"Its false advertisement!" The gray haired guy said.
"Don't worry about it, I've heard worst catchphrase's like Quiznos. Do you have any romantic comedy books?" Thane asked.
"Um I've never heard of Quiznos but there on you right on the middle shelve."
"Thanks." Thane said as he started looking through the books before he chose one and stood next to Gama. "Have you chosen one yet?" Thane asked.
"We need to watch those two. The green one is named Emerald and happens to have a record in robbery and a lot of property damage. The other is Mercury. He seems to be your thug with a murderous background so killing is normal for him." Gama whispered giving the information to Thane who looked into his book.
"And if they're together then something bad is about to go down." Thane kept reading before chuckling to himself. They both sat down and read their books but kept an open ear.
Emerald watched them before she glanced at Mercury telling him to get rid of the two aliens. He nodded and walked behind the aliens and started tilting the bookshelf behind them making it fall on them but Thane used one hand to stop the shelve while the other held the book in place.
"You were right about them Gama."
"Told you something was wrong when you got two wanted personals in one place." Gama said as they both closed their books and got up.
"What you wanna fight? It was just an accident." Mercury said with a smirk.
"Nothing just wondering why peppermint chocolate is trying to steal my axe." Thane said making Emerald freeze in her tracks with her hand extended going for his axe when she felt a gun barrel touch her head.
"You wouldn't shoot a girl would you?" she said as Mercury took a few steps forward until Gama threw a grenade out the front door window allowing a stream of light to enter the store.
"Most grenades explode but mine are different." Gama said as Mercury swung his right leg into Thanes face while wearing a smirk but Thane just stood and smiled as Emerald took out her blades trying to stab Gama before a weird *wuvmp* was heard before some invisible force sent the two outlaws out the window. "My grenades implode." Gama finished. Thane walked to the counter where Tuxen was taking cover.
"This should cover the cost for the damage." Thane said as he left an envelope bulging with liens as well as a couple of gold ingots and a diamond. "I'm only giving this much because I love your sideburns." Thane said as he began to turn around. "Mind if we take care of those two?" Thane asked.
"You can have the whole damn store." Tuxen said before running out the back entrance and buying the first airship ticket out of vale where he lived his life happily with his newly made family and with his newly bought store called 'Book Saviors.' He never knew the names of the two who saved him that day from the white fang but all he did know was he was forever in debt to them, but we got too far lets go back to the present day.
"What the hell was that?" Mercury said as he stood up from the broken shards of glass and books that laid on the streets.
"I don't know." Emerald answered as their attention turned to the two aliens who walked out the front door.
"Alright heres the deal I just fought some dude who learned his martial arts from a video tape like twenty minutes ago so I'm not really in the mood for fighting so we'll let you off the hook." Thane said as they stood before them awaiting their response.
Mercury turned to glance at Emerald before he rushed Thane and did a flying tiger knee but Thane side stepped it slapping him with a back hand. Mercury stumbled a bit not expecting the slap. "Gama you handle peppermint chocolate. I got sir kix a lot." Thane said as they walked around circling each other. Gama took the first steps forward Emerald as she held her scimitars ready to cut him up with her sleight of hand.
"Whos better the thief or the tactician?" Gama asked as she slashed at his mid-section but Gama didn't react but instead his image dissipated revealing a drone with a ticking number. Her eyes widened as she jumped away from the explosion. She looked around to find herself surrounded by a bout twenty Gama's who seemed their only purpose was to explode.
Thane was blocking the leg assault that Mercury was giving him. Thane jumped back giving them some room. "hmmm kicking is your liking but I'm guessing you don't know anything after that."
"It's all I need to beat the crap out of you." Mercury said as he shot a shell at Thane who moved out of the way.
"I needed to be careful when I met you cause I rarely ever see someone who only uses their legs but the thing is when you learn multiple styles, you know what counters that style and and which style counters that one and you seem to keep people at a distance with those long shmexy legs of yours, but your weakness is a style that I love. Grappling!" Thane charged him as he tried to fire a few shells trying to hit him. But when Thane was in his leg range he tried hit him in the side with his shin but Thane leaned the direction as the kick for it seemed like he just fell unconscious but before he hit the ground he disappeared as soon as the leg was about to hit him. Mercury looked at Thanes last location but felt two arms wrap around his torso.
"What?"
"German Suplex." Thane leaned backwards making him hit his head on the ground. He was still in shock of what just happened before Thane flipped backwards and flinged Mercury in the air. Mercury readjusted himself in the air and began firing shot after shot at Thane from his vantage point.
"Sagittarius" Thane said as he dodged each shell that landed at his last location.
Emerald sliced each of Gama's holograms trying to get the right one before she noticed that know they weren't exploding anymore. She sliced two of them and used both her blades to stab one of the holograms she turned her head to the next target before she noticed her blades got stuck in it. She turned her head to see her blades were penetrating something and it was Gama. She grinned as she tried to pull the blades out of him but found it stuck. She looked up at Gama's grinning face with his goggles as he held an automatic shotgun to her face. "Concussion shell." A blinding light and a loud bang. All she saw was white as her ears rang. She was screaming her head off clinging her ears. Gama grabbed a hold of the blades and ripped them out of his body as well as a few wires from his system. "Oww that kinda hurt."
Mercury finally landed on the ground as Thane waited for him to make a move. "You ain't no air fighter are you?" Thane asked him.
"I don't know you tell me?" Mercury lunged at Thane trying to do a flying heel kick as Thane stood with a grin. 'He'll try to catch the kick and when he does I'll jungle kick him in the face.' Mercury thought as he came closer to Thane. He was about a meter away when Thane lunged toward him at blinding speed with his left hand stretched behind him. Mercury didn't see it coming when swung his hand getting around his neck before they spun rapidly into the air. When they reached a good height Thane put Mercury head between his feet and started spinning toward the ground. Thane put his hands on the ground doing a hand stand before slamming his face into the ground. Mercury laid on the ground dizzy and dazed when he saw five blurry Thanes do a double heel axe drop into his guts making him lose his lunch.
Emerald was finally getting her vision back and her hearing to see Gama standing over her. "Your part of the white fang aren't you?" Gama asked as he held the shotgun at her. She tried to reach for her blade but Gama fired his revolver sending it flying out of her grasp. "I don't like to make enemies so please don't make it anymore worse than it is." Gama said as he lowered his gun and took off his goggles.
"What are you?" she asked him.
"I'm a cyborg weird robot I don't know." Gama answered as he sat next to her on the ground and watched Thane and Mercury's fight.
"A cyborg?"
"It's a long story."
Mercury was getting up and was getting annoyed. "Can I please at least get one hit on you? Just one!" Mercury gritted.
"Alright then you get one hit, better make it count." Thane said as he stood with his hands out. "Make it count."
"What really?"
"Yup." Mercury put a sprinting stance before lunging forward going on the right side of Thane getting behind him. "Cancer." Thane said before Mercury turned on his left foot and used the momentum of his movement to do a devastating right kick into Thanes ribcage as well as firing a round for good measure. He jumped back to admire his work before he felt a sharp pain in his right ankle causing him to inspect it and finding it swelling. "Did you happen to break your ankle?" Thane asked. "You're lucky that I didn't use my axe but sometimes you need use your body to kickass." Mercury looked at the spot where he kicked to see the clothes ripped and singed but his skin was unaffected by his kick.
"How?" Mercury asked.
"Also thanks for showing me that kick I think I'll use it right now." Thane said as he took the same stance that Mercury did a minute ago.
Mercury's eyes widened when Thane dashed forward going to the right of Mercury who could only move his eyes trying to see Thane turning around on his heel but only saw the soles of his shoe when he thought 'Shit.' Before the kick sent him flying through the wall of the book store leaving him in a pile of rubble.
Thane stood over him and straightened his clothes before walking to Gama. "Seems like you two got to know each other pretty well." Thane said.
"I should thank you for shutting him up." Emerald said getting up Gama's help.
"You're different then your friend there." Thane pointed at the moaning Mercury in the pile. He was about to say something before the sounds of sirens started getting louder. "IT'S THE FUZZ! QUICKLY Gama SNATCH AND RUN!" Thane yelled as they began stuffing their bags with books and peeling off toward his manta.
"Wait I don't know your name!"
"I'm Gama and this is Thane!" Gama yelled as he threw a jewel at her with a note attached that said 'Hope this covers his medical bill.'
Emerald took one last glance before they disappeared. "Come on Mercury get up we need to get out of here." She said putting her arm around Mercury helping him up to the white fang base.
Zircon was walking through the crowds until he saw a familiar girl walk by. "Sis?"
"Zircon?" Emerald asked.
…
Blake was finishing up with the laundry, Ruby was polishing the weapons in the armory, Yang was finally done with the mess that laid on the ground while Weiss was on the last room of mopping when she found the final room.
"Finally the last room." She sighed as she tried to open the door but found it stuck. "Hmmm" Weiss pondered as she looked through the keyhole. The room was filled with what looked like war memorabilia but it was dark making it hard to see the rest of the room. Weiss took out her weapon and stuck it in the lock before using her glyph to blow the lock open. She opened the door and screamed as a bear stood at the entrance of the door.
"Weiss what happened?" Ruby called from afar.
"I'm fine I just slipped." Weiss replied. She noticed it wasn't moving and came to the conclusion that it was stuffed. She went around the bear to see the room clearer. She walked around the dusty room to see pictures from the aliens glory days from the war. She looked at the wall to see a painted portrait of Thane sitting on a throne with a robe, scepter and, golden crown. She scoffed and walked past it and saw a picture of Gama but he was decked out in weaponry from pistols to sniper rifles while four others were behind him with the same get up but he didn't have any signs of his cybernetic body today. She tried to find the light switch to get a better look until she saw something hanging from the ceiling with a chair underneath it to help her reach it. "I guess that's the switch." She said as she got on it.
"Hey Weiss are you alright." Ruby said walking into the room.
"Yes, I'm fine Ruby did you not hear me the last time."
"Nope." Ruby said as she opened the curtains letting light enter the room. "It's getting late and Gama sent a message saying that there almost…" Ruby stopped talking when she saw what Weiss was holding in her hand.
"What's the problem now Ruby?" She said in an annoyed voice before she looked where she was holding. It was a noose hanging from the ramparts next to another noose. Weiss fell off the chair and quickly crawled back until she hit a table that dropped photo album on her lap. Weiss was still in shock from the experience until Ruby came to help her.
"Weiss, Weiss pull yourself together." Ruby said rocking the shocked Weiss around to get her back to normal. "Come on get up." She said as she helped Weiss to her feet. The album fell opening to a page that showed Thane and twelve other warriors each a different species. They were smiling at the camera as they held their personal weapons but blood was splattered all over the photo making the black and white photo dark crimson on certain parts. They both stared at the photo before Ruby closed the album and placed it back where it was before they both left the room without any hesitation.
"What was that?" Weiss asked.
"Weiss as your leader I want you to forget what you just saw right now. We never entered that room and we never saw that photo. Understand?" Ruby ordered to Weiss who just nodded in agreement before walking away from the mentally scaring room.
They met at the main entrance where Thane and Gama entered gasping for air." Looks like you guys just came out of hell." Yang said as her and her teammate was the first one to meet them.
"You have no idea." Thane said as he held out her bag. She took it and looked inside before smiling and hugging Thane putting his head between her breast. Thane didn't really let it get to him though so he didn't really care. Weiss and Ruby came out of the hallway to see Thane inspecting his newly cleaned ship.
"Wow you guys did a really good job." Thane said as he looked at the last two girls. "Here you go shoes and bullets." Thane held out the gifts but all the girls saw was the bloody picture and the two nooses that hung from the ceiling. They slowly took it from his hands without saying a word. "Is everything alright? You guys are paler than usual and that's saying something."
"We're fine we just need to head to our room and rest a bit." Ruby took control of the conversation and led her team out of the ship without saying good night.
"That was weird." Thane said to Gama.
"I don't know about you but I'm hungry so get cooking. I want some barbecue." Gama said.
"Got it." Thane said as he headed to the kitchen and took out some ribs and chicken legs.
Team RWBY walked in silence for some reason back to their room. Right before they were about to enter Nora popped out of her room with a squeal. "Come on we were having the girls night tonight right?" Nors said as she pulled the team into the room and pushed out the two boys of team JNPR. "Sorry but no guys." Nora said before slamming door.
"What now?" Juane asked Ren.
"Wanna go to sleep at Thane's place?" Ren asked.
"Sure."
