First Person Narrator: Italic
7:00 AM. Team JNPR tend to be a mixed bag when it comes to waking up in the morning. Pyrrha is a morning person and Nora is usually up at 7:00 since she switches off at 10:00 PM. I only know this because I tend to wake up to Nora's craziness. I'm quite surprised that Ren and Jaune haven't died from not enough sleep. (That's impossible.) I to somehow get myself up at 6:30 AM just so Nora could wake up in sync with her breakfast being ready. I must have cooked thirty pancakes, why? Well, Nora needed the perfect set of pancakes; that read made every English teacher in Vale happy. The extra pancakes might as well be for the rest of the team. Nora woke up three minutes after I finished the perfect set of pancakes (Ok, I guess it wasn't in sync). "Ah, Nora. I managed to keep my promise didn't I." "Kai, you didn't really have to." She said as I carried over her breakfast. "Well, that read was something worthy of breakfast the following morning. Despite that, I just felt like doing something nice for you." As I said that, she took a bite and by bite, I mean a whole pancake. Considering the scale of that bite, maybe I should have made more. "I gave you the perfect batch, the rest is for your team whenever they wake up. Anyway, I should get my team up, they have a tournament tonight with Card Against Remnanity." "Kai, thank you. Before you go, can you come closer?" "Um… sure." My face was in arms reach. "Boop." Nora touched his nose made Kai smile since he recognized the act.
Kai went to find the crew already to go. "Wow, I almost forgot that if it isn't Nora that wakes me, it's always a shot to my shoulder blade." "Kai, are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Said Azu. "I would not enjoy myself if I went, though don't you think it's a bit strange that Jinn might be the only guy staying the night over there?" "Oh it's ok, I grew up with four sisters so such a thing shouldn't be a problem." Said Jinn. "Well guys, tell Akina I said hello. I hope you all have fun; I'll see you tomorrow at the Smash tournament. "We'll probably be getting our asses kicked, but we'll be sure to win the Card's tournament." Said Evelyn. As they left, I saw team RWBY or in this case, team RWY since Blake is still missing. I walked over to them. "Hey Ruby, is Blake still missing." "Yes Kai, we're going to look for her." Said Ruby. "Alright I'll help since my team is going to a friend's house this weekend." "Kai, are you sure you want to help." She said. "Ruby, I'd be bored if I didn't."
Later at Vale…
Yang: "Blake!" Ruby: "Blake!" Kai: "Blake!" Ruby: "Blake!" Yang: "Blake!" Kai: "Bellabooty!" I say this as Ruby and Weiss stare at me while Yang found it amusing. "What, I felt like yelling something different. She might answer to that, you never know." "Well Kai, at least your helping, unlike Weiss." Ruby said as we all stared at Weiss. "Hey, you know who might be able to help? The police." She retorted. "Ugh, Weiss." Said Ruby. "It was just an idea." Weiss said. "Yeah a bad one." Said Ruby. "Weiss, we shouldn't jump to conclusions. We should hear her side of the story beforehand." Said Yang. "I think when we hear it, you'll all realize me being right." Obviously, Weiss would say that. "Weiss, your bias against Faunus shows." I said. "And I think Weiss's hair looks wonderful today." Said an unfamiliar voice. "Ahh! Penny where did you come from!" Said Ruby. "Hey guys, what are you up to?" Said 1/100th of a dollar. "We're looking for our friend Blake." Said Yang where Ruby could not. "Oh, you mean the Faunus girl." There was a small pause. "Wait, how did you know that?" Ruby said. "Uhhhh, the cat ears." She said. "What cat ears? She wears a… bow." Yang said (For those that don't know, that is in fact a pun as she said bow like how she would say "oh" as a sudden realization that Blake in fact, has kitty ears). As the wind blew, Ruby found time to say "She does like tuna a lot." "Yeah, she's been missing since Friday I think." I said. "Oh well that's terrible, well don't you worry Ruby my friend, I won't rest until we find your teammate." Penny said. "Oh that's real nice of you Penny but we're good. I think we've had enough people take time out of their day to help us. Right guys?" Both Weiss and Yang were gone and as the wind blew, Penny had to point it out. "It sure is windy today."
After Penny's long questionnaire, with my retort ("I don't have many friends, but if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things." She said. "I actually had a friend once that during my last year of signal. She started out acting like how Nora typically acts, but after a while, she started to become angry and disregarded talking to me about anything. She got snappy with me for just trying to make her feel better. I'm just glad I haven't had a friend like that since. Blake seems to be the kind of girl that will come around after a while." "Well Kai, I hope you're right." Said Ruby.), she finally noticed me. "Hey what's your name?" (Ok, the questionnaire is not over). "Oh I'm Kai." "It's a pleasure to meet you." "Feeling's mutual Penny." "Are you friends with Ruby?" She asked. "Well I mean why else would I be here. Ruby did the unthinkable and managed to become an underclassman that I actually like." "What about Yang, Blake, and Weiss?" She asked. "Well, I'm not fond of Weiss since she seems full of herself and disrespectful, Blake is… (Don't bring up her butt, don't bring up her butt! I thought.) well, she's very nice, and Yang is probably my best friend out of those not on my team. I consider them all friends, even Weiss."
"Wow, you must have tons of friends then." She said. And me and Ruby started laughing. "Was it something I said?" Said Penny. "In a way, yes. You saying that, speaks volumes for how far you'd have to go to not be considered a friend of mine." I said. With that, I picked up on something interesting. Penny didn't seem to be very normal as a normal person would have picked up on something like that. She made a joke and didn't realize it. I also remembered something important. "Ruby, there's something I really need to talk to Penny about. If you could excuse us for just a minute, that would be great." "Um ok."
As she said this, I took Penny about one block down the side walk. "Ok Penny, I might be extremely wrong here, but I seriously think that there's something a little… off about you." "What makes you say that?" She asked. "You see, at Signal Academy, Professor Taurus who is my aunt, took me along with a few other students up to Atlas for a field trip. General Ironwood was showing us around and we stumbled upon something that the Atlas government had been working on for quite some time. It was called Project Penny. It was supposed to be a girl in the form of a synthetic being with an aura. The concept art for her looked an awful lot like you. Would you happen to know anything about this project?" "What no, I know nothing about this synthetic life form *hiccup." "I recall the general also saying that he programmed a hiccup feature for whenever it lied." "*Sigh, ok you got me. I am the world's first synthetic being capable of generating an aura." "Figured. Don't worry I won't tell anyone, I was just curious what is would be like to fight alongside a… I guess you can say machine, but unlike artificial intelligence, I can feel your heart and soul. Even despite being a creation, you have the same soul as Ruby." "You really think so?" "Yeah, I mean you're the only real thing making you different is that you're just weird, and I can't say that it's a problem in the slightest. Your quirkiness is on par with Ruby's and I love Ruby for that reason." Seemingly out of nowhere, Penny proceeded to hug me harder than Nora did this morning. "Kai, you make for boyfriend anyone would be lucky to have." "Penny, Ruby probably does the friend job better. If she ever found out about this, she would say something along the lines of which I said." Penny proceeded to let go of me as I said this. "I'm not very comfortable telling anyone about this, so it's our little secret right now." "Ok, I think we've made Ruby wait long enough." As I said this, we walked over to Ruby. "Hey, what did you guys talk about?" "Ruby, you clearly don't understand the concept of private talk."
Twenty minutes later…
After twenty minutes of looking around for Blake, we heard an explosion come from the direction of the docks. "The docks, I bet you anything Blake is over there, let's go." I said. "Right." Even despite Penny being the slowest of us three, she managed to keep up far better than Jaune did. It only took us about 45 seconds to get to the top of building right before the docks. "Blake!" Ruby yelled. And I finally get a clear look at Roman Torchwick. He's even hotter than I thought. (I'm not gay, I swear). "Oh hey Red, isn't it passed your bed time?" Penny walked up to the side of Ruby. "Ruby, are these guy's friends of yours?" "Penny, get back." That distraction gave Roman the opportunity to push back Ruby with one shot. Penny walked up closer. "Penny what are you doing?" "Don't worry Ruby, I'm combat ready." Penny said this as she proceeded to annihilate the white fang members that resided down there. This was then followed up with her kameh-I mean green laser cannon of death and destruction lolz to take down a few gunships. "Ugh, I know she's probably going to kill me, but these kids will pose a huge threat if I don't take them out." Roman said as he dropped a load of atlas robots and a giant crab like robot.
Before I could wonder how he managed to get his hands on them, I dropped down, knowing that Blake, the filthy Faunus from the boat, and Penny could not take them without me. Blake seemed to recognize these and she made short work of a few of the bots, and it seemed the stowaway was pretty good as well. With the exception of the few that I parried, I let the others take care of the bots as I turn to find the crab all locked and loaded and fired its first round of lasers knocking everyone else back. It was about to fire again right after I cut down the remaining bots. As it was preparing to launch another laser, I shot some lightning at it to try and get the things attention. Well it worked like a dream. I used my electromagnetism to try and slam one of the huge crates on top of it. It fired a laser, breaking it and it left some annoying debris. As the crab was turning its crosshairs downward, I used that opportunity to cut off one of its legs. My high frequency blade weakens its targets molecular bonds and the cut was made easier with the paralyzing lightning running through the robot. I tried to cut another one, but I took a hit from the robot in the process. As it knocked me away, it began to regain control and started to charge up a laser with more horse power behind it. I only made that assumption because it used more of its parts to charge up the laser. In retaliation, I used one of the dark clouds in the sky to gather lightning with my blade. I used the blade to fire a large lightning bolt which clashed with the crab's laser. The beam struggle lasted fifteen seconds but with neither over powering the other.
After the inevitable explosion, I was at the near brink of exhaustion. The robot lowered some of its parts to fire a smaller laser cannon. As it approached me, it was intercepted by a familiar green laser which pushed the other laser out of proportion, quite literally. I felt frustrated as I wanted to be able to take out this thing on my own. Though what calmed me down was remembering what I said to Penny. *Flashback: "I was just curious what is would be like to fight alongside machine." Penny made her way over to the crab like robot and proceeded to wail away at it. In the instant with each of her strikes, I emitted the blades with lightning. With that much lightning inside of the robot, it collapsed to the ground. Penny ran back over to me. "Are you ok Kai?" "I'm fine, unfortunately, so is the robot. The lightning only stunned it, it will get back up right about…" The robot stood up. "Now. You know Penny, I didn't really want help, but if you insist; I must say, you're an exception." "It's an honor to fight with you Trey." "Let's finish this."
We proceeded to run toward the robot. I ran a few laps around it to throw it off while Penny shot a few lasers which pierced its aura, and it even destroyed one of its annoying laser guns. I used that time to jump into the air and charge right back down, plunging my sword deep into it. After a few seconds of me turning on the lightning, it managed to shake me off. Penny was kicked away, and I proceeded to pull out my humanoid arms. These giant arms are a neon see through ceramic and I used it to catch Penny. As the robot began to charge up its giant laser, Penny began to charge up her big laser, and of course I had to call down the lightning from the dark clouds. The lightning attached to all her blades and it increased the circumference of the sphere that indicated a laser. Right before both beams met, Weiss and Yang found our location and joined up with Blake, Ruby, and the rapscallion. They were in awe of the clash in power. The two beams met, but the burning copper cannon as I will call it, completely overtook the crab's beam. It carried the crab out to the ocean. I lifted the beam so it wouldn't cause tsunamis. The explosion was rather big, and it only created a small but semi strong gust of wind.
"Well that was a thing!" I heard a yell from a familiar voice. I waved at the sight of Yang. What happened next scared me, quite a lot. Yang was happy until Penny did the unthinkable. I was expecting a fist bump or a solo hug from Penny. She hugged me, but not two seconds later, she kissed me on the cheek for about ten seconds. I tried to pull away but Penny was way too strong. I saw Yang about ready to kill someone and I just felt horrible, and scared out of my mind. As Kai walked towards the crew, Penny quietly slipped away as the police took her back. Once Black and White reunited, Ruby was ecstatic. "Yeah, team RWBY is back together." "Ok, we should probably be headed back to beacon, I'm beyond tired right now." "Hey, wears Penny?" Said Ruby. I turned around and I didn't see her. "Wow, she slipped away. Maybe the police just took her back." "Why would they do that?" Said Ruby. "Don't worry Ruby, she's not under arrest, her father probably just called the police to find her." I said. "Ok, I don't know you at all, but that was some sick stuff you did back there. I'm Sun by the way, I'm here for the Vytal festival." "I'm Kai." I shake his hand. "You almost had it the bag." He said this as we began to walk toward Beacon.
"Ok Kai, so explain to me how you did all that" "Considering my use of lightning and telekinesis, you'd think my semblance would be electromagnetism, but it's actually not. It was my dad's semblance and upon his death, he gave it to me. See, I have the ability to take away one's semblance and us at is as my own. I can give it back at will. I can't abuse it as I can only do it once and it needs a few years to charge back up." "Well that blows. How many semblances have you taken so far?" "Three, though I'm not going to state what the other two are." "Understandable. Your weapon is simple by comparison." "Yeah, I know it's a sword, but it can cut through a lot of things. It weakens its targets molecular bonds." "Um… yeah." "Now that is one awesome weapon you have. I'll call them gunchucks." "Ha ha, nice way to save me from boredom there." Sun turned around to see that the team is far behind them. "Woah, the team is far behind us. Wait you did that on purpose didn't you?" "Yes, I did. It's primarily due to Yang. She's probably angry at me, from Penny's last action. I'm giving her some time to calm down." "You like her don't you?" "Yes I do and something tell me that she likes me back. Honestly, I'm hoping the same can be said about you and Blake." "Yeah, I'm going to marry her one day. She has such a nice butt." "Finally someone who understands. I can't talk about Blake without bringing up her butt. In all seriousness, this conversation may be the true reason why I separated us from them." "Smart."
After the long hit off, we arrived back at Beacon…
"Sun, do you like Hyper Smash Bros.?" "Yes, I love that game, I play it every day." "Alright good, they're having a tournament near the harbor. It's going to have a big sign you can't miss it. It will last from midday to 6:00 pm." "Awesome, I will be there." "Alright, I'll see you then." "See ya later." As I said that, I made my way to my dorm and went straight to sleep.
