Hey guys Price here and FINALLY chapter 8 of CYPHR Of Beacon Year 1 is finished, and if you think that the story needs any improvement what so ever just tell me and I will make it happen. For the people who wondered and wanted it, I WILL rewrite the first few chapters to make them longer and more professional looking. Also, not to brag, but your suggestions help with a book I am currently working on. I also appreciate any and all help, even constructive criticism, but not down right criticism or just trolling in general because, let's face it, no one likes trolls...especially me. If you have any requests about OC's, do not be afraid to ask. The last thing I want to say is, in other fanfics and videos, I've heard both that the city is Vale, and other times it is Vytal, so I was wondering, which is it?
Jeremy was walking down the hallway to pick up Blake for their date in Vale. He was wearing a tight-fitting, sleeveless and sweat absorbing shirt, as well as a pair of fingerless gloves with arm-length socks(or whatever they are called) attached to them. For shoes he was wearing his combat boots, but Hydrophis was missing, and in it's place was a mini-flashlight. He was wearing a belt that had a loop in it for a collapsible baton coated in his fire-lightning dust combination to burn and shock anything or anyone it came into contact with. He had nothing on his back as he felt that if Blake could go without her weapons, then so could he. As a precaution he kept his helmet in necklace form, but not the rest of his armor as it had no collapsible form. Luke had dubbed the outfit "WolfPelt" since it looked like one.
He arrived at Team RWBY's dorm to pick up Blake and, when he went to knock, the door was opened right before his hand hit the door. Blake was dressed in an outfit that had been dubbed "Infiltrator".
"Are you ready?" Jeremy asked, although he already knew the answer.
"Yeah, I'm good." He said, stepping to the side to let her through, or at least it looked like it, but in reality, he was avoiding Ruby, who he had noticed was sitting on Blake's bed, probably having talked to her.
They made their way to the tram station that would take them to Vale. On the way, Blake was extremely awkward and refused to meet his gaze.
"I'm sorry if I mess up any form of relationship you and Ruby had by doing this." She said, still looking away.
"It's fine, really. I had no idea she even liked me to be honest." He lied, having picked up on it when she would stare at him at breakfast and lunch, and, when he sat at her table, the way she immediately sat next to him.
"Well, I'm still sorry, I don't want to damage any friendship you and Ruby had." Blake said, still not looking at him.
When they arrived at the tram, he turned to Blake to finally get her to look at him. "That happened at Beacon, let's let what happens in Beacon, stay at Beacon. We came here to have fun, so that's what we're gonna do." He said, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Right. I'm sorry, even though I read about this a lot, I'm still new to it." She said, her eyes widening when she realized what she said. "That's not what I meant." She said, turning away blushing.
"It's fine, Ninja's of Love is a good book anyway." He said while laughing, making her turn to him in surprise.
"You read it too?" She asked, looking shocked.
"Yeah, anyone who reads, and is old enough, has read that book at some point." He said, laughing when she blushed harder.
"Oh." That was all she was able to say, them having arrived at Vytal and people wanting to get on.
They walked out and immediately they walked towards a cafe to get something to eat and drink.
Upon arriving, Jeremy ordered a hot chocolate, as he had never liked coffee but wasn't in the mood for any tea. Blake got a coffee with sugar.
"So, do you want something to eat or will this be all?" The waitress asked, looking at them both.
"Uh, actually, I think we will be good, unless you want something Blake." Jeremy said, looking at her curiously.
"Uh no, that'll be all." Blake said, smiling and putting down the menu.
"Ok, I'll go add your total up, and when you're ready to pay, just leave the money on the table and ask for Debbie." She said, her name tag reading Debbie.
"Thank you." Jeremy said, noticing something outside.
"So, when we finish here, what do you want to do to pass the time?" Blake asked, putting her cup down to let it cool.
"Well, I was thinking that we could maybe talk about stuff." He said, knowing that if what he saw was true, they would need to.
"That sounds fine." Blake said, smiling lightly.
"Great, I actually have a place where we can talk privately for awhile while we wait to go to Junior's club." He said, downing his hot chocolate.
"Where to?" She asked after drinking her coffee.
"I rented a motel room for a few hours." He said casually, making Blake blush as images of them together, alone, in a motel room, even though she knew he meant just to talk.
"Please don't blush, you'll get my mind going." Jeremy said, noticing her blush.
"Oh, sorry." She said, standing up to leave.
"It's fine, I can see how that would sound worse than it actually was meant." He said, frowning in deep thought. "Anyways, if you're ready, let's go." He said, standing up and leaving a tip and paying.
After arriving at the motel, Jeremy and Blake went to the room and, much to Jeremy's surprise, Blake laid down on the bed and looked at him, her mind thinking through all sorts of things which were evident in her eyes.
Jeremy wearily sat down, afraid of what might happen if he got too close.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Blake asked, sitting up and crawling towards him.
"Um, I was actually wondering whether or not you knew we were being tagged." He said, surprising Blake and himself.
"What do you mean?" Blake asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Well, they should be arriving in the window in 3...2...and 1." He said as the window exploded inwards, a man in a coat and a mask smashing in and pulling out two silenced Colt M1911s and aiming them.
Begin song "We Will Rock You Nu0n Remix"
Jeremy teleported behind the masked man, pulling out his baton and striking them with it three times in rapid succession, once in the lower back, once in the upper back, and once in the back of the head.
The masked man spun after the last hit, grabbed Jeremy, and kicked Blake back after she tried to jump him. He grabbed Jeremy by the throat, then pulled out his gun and turned, the gun aimed at Jeremy's head.
"Make one move and he's dead." The masked man said, emphasizing by pushing the gun barrel down harder with each one or two words.
"Sorry buddy, can't beat me that easily." Jeremy said, teleporting behind him and kicking the gun across the room, then twisting his arm and flipping him, aiming at punching him in the throat.
The masked man moved quickly, dodging the punch and kneeing Jeremy in the face, then throwing him across the room.
Blake came up behind him and kicked him, then Shadow Cloning and dodging an attempted pistol whip.
The masked man kicked at Jeremy, who dodged and punched him, telling Blake to call her team.
Blake called her team and asked them to come, then hung up and joined the fray once again, working with Jeremy so that they quickly backed him into a corner.
The masked man suddenly lashed out, knocking Blake against the wall and knocking her out cold, making Jeremy stare in shock long enough for the masked man to catch him off guard and Spartan kicked him through the wall and into another room, only in this one the people were not talking.
The masked man jumped through the hole and was clothes-lined by Jeremy, who grabbed him and threw him against the wall, cracking it and making the man grunt in pain.
Jeremy grabbed him and went to throw him, only to gasp when the man grabbed him in a dirty move.
The man tried to continue the move, but was surprised when Jeremy disappeared then reappeared and slammed both of his fists on the man's back, then kicking him when the man bounced from the force.
Suddenly, Ruby, Yang, and Weiss jumped through the door and started helping.
Together, they quickly pushed him back and, when Weiss cut his coat, they were stunned when dragon wings spread and the man's mask moved in a grinning fashion.
Yang punched the man, knocking his mask off, making Ruby gasp in surprise.
"Alex?" Ruby said, surprise filling her voice.
"Ruby?" The man now identified as Alex said, surprise filling his voice as well.
"What are you doing here?!" They both yelled at the same time.
End song
After they all calmed down and Blake was informed of the situation, Jeremy and the WBY of RWBY quickly made Ruby sit down and questioned her.
"Ok, who is Alex?" Jeremy asked, frustration is his tone.
"I've already said he was my brother." Ruby said, standing and placing her hands on the table. "No! Who is he? Not family wise, work wise?" Jeremy asked, standing and meeting her gaze. "We were attacked Ruby! At least tell us why!" He yelled, making everyone jump at his sudden outburst.
"I'm an assassin." Alex said, making everyone look at him.
Hey sorry how short the chapter is, I just don't have time to finish it as I have important stuff to do in the morning(it is currently 10:50 PM) and I just wanted to finish it now, so this is chapter 8, and Alex Rose belongs to AlexRose680. Word Count: 1,774
