"Hurry up guys!" Ruby said as she pulled on her pleated skirt and checkered boots.
"Easy Marie" Weiss said adjusting her white hair before pulling on a silver breastplate
"And who are you suppose to be?" Blake asked adjusting her fluro green wig as she adjusted her C.C. Black Knight dress Cosplay
"I am cosplaying at Jeanne d'Arc from the anime Hidan no Aria" Weiss said pulling on her silver boots before doing up the laces hidden under a knee guards
"That anime, why that one" Yang asked adjust a tube top with a lightning bolt cut out in it and smoothing out her black leather pants
"I agree, plus her Durandal armour is certainly more tricky to get on and off, unlike her Butei school uniform" Blake said picking up a plush Cheese-kun and slice of seafood pizza
"These ones came with shorts under the skirt, plus it carries over the winter theme. Winter, she's going to be oh I can't wait to see my sister" Weiss cheered "Wait who's Yang supposed to be?"
"Simple, I'm Trisha" Yang said sliding on a pair of shades and connected a massive Grimm looking rounded edge sword on her back
"Wow you even got a copy of Sparta!" Ruby cheered picking up her bag to complete the look of her Marie Cosplay.
Outside their dorm room Team JNPR waited for RWBY, Jaune tugged at the red scarf he wore for hi cosplay, the two teams decided to surprise each other this time around for teh annual Beacon Costume Day; a day where the students can cosplay as a reward for their hard work and dedication to the path they chose. Plus it didn't hurt that some of teh teachers joined in.
"Man what's taking so long?" Jaune asked looking at the claw gauntlet on his right hand and the shoulder guard
"I think you look quite handsome as Cloud Strife" Pyrrha said adjusting her bracelets
"So we have Black Widow and Nightwing on the same team pretty cool" Nora said adjusting her Lilith cosplay.
"It is a bit weird" Pyrrha said acting like the Black Widow.
"I agree" Ren said twirling a kali stick broadly as Team RWBY walked out of their dorm
"Nice selection, we have; Marie from Persona 4, Jeanne d'Arc, C.C. and Trisha I'm guessing" PYrrha said
"Yep, nice guess and let me see we have: Cloud Strife, Lilith, Black Widow and Nightwing" Yang said
"Nice got them all. Now shall we?" Jaune asked as they went to the main hall.
"Geez, can they get here any later?" Sun asked "These pants are itchy"
"Then why did pick that character?" Neptune asked
"It was the only costume the shop had left. Man I wish this thing had room for my tail" the Faunus whined
"Whatever, at least your wearing pants; I'm wearing a stupid dress"
"Those are special robes wore by samurai my friend" Sage said
"And who are you supposed to be?" Scarlet asked
"Simple I am the Black Panther" Sage said dressed up in a militaristic suit with a panther-like mask over his head. "What I don't get is what Neptune came dress as"
"I'm Aquaman" Neptuen smiled
"Not bad" Blake said walking up to team SSSN
"Wow, Sting Eucliff, Renji Abarai, Aquaman and the Black Panther am I correct?" Blake asked walking to them.
"Yep" Sun said walking in with teams RWBY and JNPR. They saw all of the students dressed up in costumes. And up on stage dressed up in a wizard outfit was Prof Ozpin
"Welcome to the annual Beacon Costume day, today you'll have the ability to mingle and interact with any and all students with no classes and tonight we will hand out awards for different criteria, of course the teachers will not be legible to compete; but they are able to interact with the students as they please, now enjoy" Ozpin said as he and Goodwitch walked off
"Man that is so wrong" Yang said
"Says the girl with a lightning bolt cut out of her tube top " Blake said walking off while holding Cheese-kun
"Another pizza already?" Weiss asked
"I only had a slice before, besides it fits with my character" Blake said acting like C.C.
"Come on I want to see CFVY and CRDL's costumes before tonight" Yang said walking off while swaying her hips.
"That ain't happening" Scarlet said hefting a giant sword
"Sure thing Renji"
"Man this thing's stuffy! Remind me again why I had to be a Ursa?"
"You lost the straws man" Sky said adjusting his tie
"Shut up! you look nothing like James Bond!
"The name's Lark, Sky Lark"
"I'll give you one of these" Russel said showing a thumbs down "And one of these" he said flipping the bird to Sky who just ignored them and went to flirt with some girl dressed up as Nagisa Furukawa
"Well I think you look rather cuddly" Velvet said showing up in the most unexpected costume freezing the Bear and Bond as a person dressed up as Deathstroke came up to them
"G'Day mates, who's ready for termination?" Dove asked in his true voice shocking Velvet
"STRUTH! Dove are you an Australis like me"
"Too right Vels" Dove said blushing through his Deathstroke mask before going bug eye "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?"
"Oh this, well mate I'm dressed as Haruhi Suzumiya, the bunnygirl version"
"WHY?" RDL asked
"It's easier to cosplay as her bunnygirl outfit then her regular one" Velvet said
"What the heck?" a voice asked making the three turn
Behind the group was Agent Venom who looked at Velvet before coming up to her and hugging her softly
"Cardin, I thought you were coming as Sherlock" Velvet said making the others relax a bit
"Well I thought this would be cooler, and you would be less, alluring" Cardin said
"I have to admit you two do look good together" Coco said walking up with Yatsuhashi and Fox
"Nice costumes" Cardin said
"Thank you" Coco said showing off her female Commander Sheppard cosplay
"What she said" Fox said being Connor Kenway
"Arigato" Yatsuhashi said wearing a black armoured version of the Daredevil said
"Hey I got an idea, Dove said "But we're going to need Ren, Neptune, Sage and Pyrrha for this idea" he said
"Okay, I'll go get them" Coco said.
Soon Ren, Pyrrha, Neptune, Sage, Cardin and Dove all gathered around a corner of Beacon with Coco holding her scroll up as Yatsuhashi, Sage, Cardin and Pyrrha took one poses while Dove, Neptune and Ren did the same making it look like Marvel vs. DC
"And there" Coco said "Next scene" she said as Ren and Dove now stood back to with Yatsuhashi attacking Ren while Sage was in a lunge position to attack Dove while Pyrrha was in mid flip dodging Neptune's trident.
"Perfect shot" Coco said as they grouped together being friendly
"May we join in?" Ozpin as Dr Strange asked with Port being Volstagg
"Sure" Coco said as the two teachers walked into the frame
"Say comics" Coco instructed
"COMICS" they shouted smiling.
Jaune was strolling around holding his replica bandaged Buster Sword while hiding his face beneath his scarf when he saw something that made his eyebrows shoot up
"WHAT THE HECK!" Jaune shouted as he saw his oldest sister Verde dressed in a white swimsuit with the sides and front missing exposing her stomach and the bottom half of her chest. She also had white gloves that went from mid bicep down and high heeled thigh length boots. Jaune knew his sister was a fan of Neptunia, but he didn't think she would dress up as the most fanservicey character.
"VERDE!" he shouted out running over to her
"Oh hello Jaune" Verde said wrapping her arms him, smashing his face into her chest "What's the matter little brother"
"What you're doing! I mean you couldn't have picked a skimpier costume!" Jaune shouted
"Witchblade" Verde said crossing her arms under her chest
"Touché" Jaune said "But could you at lease cover up!" Jaune shouted
"OH dear don't you find me appealing?" Verde asked swishing the green wig she wore
"I'm your brother; I'm not supposed to, well at least not in that way" Jaune said blushing behind his scarf
"It's okay Little bro I know" Verde said picking up a green cloak and wrapped it around her "I'll find a better costume"
"Don't; just don't go flirting a whole lot okay?" Jaune hugging Verde again
"Sure thing little bro" Verde said smiling as she and Jaune hugged each other as Coco took their photo.
"Thanks Coco" Jaune said
"If I'll, you show me how to love
I'll show how to live
Bukiyou na distance
Miageteta kimi no dazzling smile
Sakura iro somete"
"Wow I didn't know that Ruby could sing like that" Weiss said
"Yeah she could but it seems that she needs the right music to do so" Yang said
"Still its impressive" Weiss said
"Yeah" Yang said before noticing a FMA cosplayer "Cool Lust cosplayer
"Lust cosplayer, no one here is cosplaying as Lust unless." Weiss said
"CINDER!" the two said drawing their 'weapons' and turned to face Cinder who just smirked as Coco, Jauen and Verde came up all brandishing their cosplay weapons
"Do you really think you could beat a Homunculus?" Cinder asked acting as Lust from the anime.
"Yeah, why else would we have all these weapons pointed at you?" Yang asked as Ruby came holding Persona cards. Verde pressed her spear into Cinder's throat. Everyone was ready for a fight, hat they weren't ready for was somebody dressed up at Sonic the Hedgehog standing behind them slurping a cup of coffee somehow.
"Um, you joining in?" Yang asked puzzled.
"Carry on" a muffled voice said
"Prof Oobleck?" Verde asked.
"That's right; this time I lost the bet. Stupid furry costumes" Oobleck said continuing to drink his coffee.
"Well that was random" Yang said
"No kidding" Weiss said before turning back to Cinder who was smirking at them
"Oh yeah you" Yang said as everyone resumed their pose, only for Ozpin to take a photo fo Trisha, Marie, Jeanne, Cloud, Verde and Sheppard facing off against Lust. The stareoff continued for a moment before they all stopped and Ruby hugged Cinder
"Hey Aunt Cin" Ruby said
"Hello Ruby, Yang. I heard Briar was in town" Cinder said hugging her niece back
"She was, but she had to track down mum" Yang said
"That's a shame" Cinder said
"Can we please use your real name?" Ruby asked unsure of herself.
"Cinder is my real name now." Cinder said.
"Let it go, let it go can't hold it back anymore!" a voice sang out
"I don't care what they're going to say let the storm rage on, the cold never bothered me anyway"
"Winter?" Weiss asked
"Hey Wei, it's so good to see you" Winter said showing up looking like Elsa from Frozen hugging Weiss
"You don't know how happy I am to see you again Win" Weiss said smiling
"I know sis, I know" Winter said smiling as well.
That night everyone gathered in the great hall. The united team as the combination of RWBY, JNPR, CRDL, SSSN and CFVY had been called gather in a corner with Winter, Team VRDN and Cinder all of them were smiling and laughing at the photos Coco took that day before uploading them to the school's cloud server. Velvet smiled at the photo of her and Cardin together. The next one was the group photo which had Weiss and Winter standing back to back in the centre on next to them was Dove and Pyrrha pointing guns at each other. Team SSSN next to Dove while Ren and Nora took next to Pyrrha all doing action poses. Jaune was protecting Verde from Cinder and Yang who were attack from their position behind SSSN while Yatushashi stood behind the Schnee sisters holding out his billy club while Fox was miming attacking Russel. on the ends were Cardin and Sky glaring at eachother while aiming at the ground. Blake knelt in front of the Schnee sisters in a prayer pose while Velvet and Ruby were behind Yatsuhashi singing into cordless mics.
That day was a great success at letting the students hair down and lowering the stress leves. Blake won best female cosplayer, Jaune won best male Cosplayer, Oobleck won best teacher costume and Russel got best furry.
