(Disclaimers: I own nothing except for my clothes, book, back, laptop, and most importantly my OC(s). All rights goes to their respective owner. Hope you enjoy you'll enjoy!)
The newly formed team ARMY consist of our four main character. Adam Nighthowl the Big Wolf, Raiden Kira the Lightning Swordsman, Maximus D. Herculean the Chained Lunatic and our fan favorite, Yuuki Tora the Certified Gn!...Yes…I was forced to write that.
"No you weren't!" Yuuki smiled at me.
Silent! I will not let you control me in this stories! I'm you creator!
"Well, I'm a 4th Wall Breaker so your rules not implies on me!" He jabbed his thumbs right on the center of his chest with a big smug on his face.
Huh…let just start off with the story…
As the morning arrived, Adam was sleeping comfortably…until a certain navy haired boy started to make a wakeup call towards the Faunus boy.
"Wake up private! We got a lot of work to do in today!" Yuuki shouted near his the boy ear with a megaphone that can turn someone deaf.
"You don't need to use that thing though…" Adam got up while rubbing his ear from the unpleasant sound in the morning.
"You wouldn't wake up…" Raiden looked at the boy while he was already in his school uniform.
"Besides, we still have some work to do!" Yuuki wore his usual hoodie on top of his school uniform while looking at his leader.
"And that is?"
"Decorating, renovating and rebuild…" Max took a bite of his usual snack from the refregirator in the room.
"Do we really need to do it now?"
"Yup! Some leader you are if you keep your lazy ass on the bed so let's get moving, soldier! HUHA!" Yuuki exclaimed as their fellow brothers joins in for the cry.
Adam sighed as he got up from his bed and walked towards the bathroom.
[Timeskip after Decorating]
After the boy finish unpacking, they looked at their decoration towards their new home. On Adam's side, there's a lot of books and eventually stuffed animals on the racks. Raiden looked at the rack with a raised eyebrow on the toys.
"What the…"
"Don't say any words!" Adam glared at the white haired swordsman while holding a wolf shaped stuffed toy and put it on his bad.
On the other side of the rooms, it was obvious that Max and Yuuki controls the fridge as they have their own special treats in it. There's some poster of boy rock band such as Winged SevenCross, Linkin Sphere, and even Fly Down Guys.
There's also girls band which owned by the oldest boy of the teen for some unknown reason which he answer as "For research purpose…"
"Okay! Now we're done!" Adam sighed as he was now in his school uniform with his necklace dangling on his neck.
"But I still don't get it why do you have does stuffed animals?" Raiden asked, which he earned a glare from the leader. "Okay, I'll stop…"
"Well, it seems that our job is done and we still have five minute to spend before the class starts at nine!" Yuuki exclaimed while looking at the clock.
"Wait! Did you said that the class starts at nine?" Max eyes widened as he heard the sudden announcement.
"Yup! Why'd you asked?"
"We're a late!" Adam shouted before he ran out from the room, leaving the others inside.
"Hey! Wait for us!" Raiden called as he got out to the leader out the room with Max following the swordsman from the back.
"Don't leave me in this room alone! To the ARMY mobile…which we don't have one…" Yuuki sighed as he began to run out while doing the cliché thing that ever happen in the entire anime…putting toast in the mouth...
The team were not alone as the other team were following their pursuit which is Team RWBY and JNPR. As they ran towards their classroom, Professor Ozpin, Professor Goodwitch and Professor Hunt were passing by the group.
"It looks like the freshman are running late, just like last year." Glynda noted before looking towards the orange haired man.
"Yes. It almost like if it is a tradition." Ozpin said as he sipped his cup of coffee. "Just like you, Mr Hunt."
"Hey! It was my first day when I first attended this school!" Ryder glared at the woman while remembering his past day at the school. "And if it wasn't for you! I wouldn't get detention!"
"Next time, be more careful with your surrounding!" The woman then glared at the slight shorter man as electric current can been seen between their eyes.
[Timeskip by Cup of Coffee…]
They somehow made it in the class and just in time. The class was about the Creatures of Grimm. ARMY was sitting in the same row as team RWBY as they were paying attention to the class which suddenly…turned into a bedtime story kind of thing…
The class were taught by Professor Port.
Adam was drawing some design to upgrade his weapon on a piece of paper. Raiden jotted down that have been told by the professor. Max on the other hand…were in a deep sleep and he didn't even care to hide it while Yuuki…paying attention in the class?
Ruby was taking a nap, Yang and Blake paying attention and Weiss was taking note just like Raiden. Professor Port suddenly told a bad joke which make the whole room became silence with Ruby waking up.
However, as he continues, he began to talk about a story about himself. Adam was suddenly had an eerie feeling that he was being watched by someone. He looked back only to see the team named KING were sitting at the back of the row.
He finally got a good look on Arthur. The boy had a blonde hair and dark blue eyes which he reminds him of Jaune. His thought been interrupted by a sound of snickering coming from Ruby. He looked at the Red Hooded girl and saw a drawing of a stick figure but makes fun of Professor Port's name.
Adam, Yuuki, Blake and Yang chuckled while Raiden just sighed as he continue to write down every single words that comes out from Professor Port. Weiss on the other hand was annoyed.
"Ah-hem-hem!" Port said, as their attention went to him. "In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head heel high, celebrated as hero!"
He took a bow as Raiden look at Weiss who is becoming more and more frustrated by Ruby.
"So, what's the story have to do with studies of Grimm?" Yuuki asked loudly while twirling his pencil around his hand.
"The point of the story? A true Huntsman must be honorable!" Port answered one of his student.
"Don't forget the Huntress!" The boy replied as he keep twirling his pencil but suddenly throw it towards the Weiss, which make her became more frustrated. "Sorry…Ice Queen..."
"Thank you for pointing out Mister Tora. A true Huntsman and Huntress must be dependable! A true Huntsman and Huntress must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!" Port continued. "So, who among you would like to demonstrate these traits?"
Arthur suddenly raised his hand. "I will sir. I will show you the TRUE honorable and wise Huntsman look like…" He said as the rest of his teammates watch him.
"You really want to do it, Artie?" Gordon asked.
"The answer is always yes when you with Artie." Medea sighed as she looked the man who already walk down towards the professor.
"Oh Medy you need to calm down." Brenda smiled at the purple haired girl.
After a couple of minute, Arthur comes out wearing his battle gear as he was ready to face of the monster which is in a steel cages. He took out his weapon from his sheathes which is a gold colored long sword with a dust implanted in the middle of the handle and the blade.
"Be prepared, Mr. Knight and face on your opponent without hesitation or else, been killed." Port warned the leader of KING.
"I got this covered, Professor." He replied as he was already in a battle stance.
"This oughta be good!" Max commented as he took out a bar of chocolate snack out of nowhere.
"Where's did you get that?" Adam sweatdropped at the older boy action.
"Now…BEGIN!" Port said as he opened the lock of one of the cages. The creatures of Grimm which he about to facing up is the one looked like a wild hog or boar.
"That's one big Piggy!" Yuuki looked at the boar-like Grimm.
"The right term for the Grimm is Boarbatusk, Yuuki…" Blake corrected the navy haired boy.
"Same thing!"
"I hope he survive this…" Brenda concerned about the young blonde boy as the wild Boarbatusk charged at him.
"You can do it, Artie!" Gordon cheered for his leader.
"IT'S ARTHUR!" The boy shouted back as he rolled away from the Grimm. "I need to aim for its belly!"
The boar then jumped up and rolls into a balls before launches itself towards the swordsman.
"It turned into Sanic!" Yuuki exclaimed.
"No, it just curled into a giant ball and tried to turn the boy into a road kill." Adam commented as Arthur brought his sword up in sideway to launch the rolling Grimm to the air, stopping it from its deadly spin.
He didn't expected the monster to use the momentum and charge at him once more.
"Damn!" He gritted his teeth as he dodged from its attack. 'Need to think of something or I will be killed or worse…' He thought as he began to read his opponent movement.
The Boarbatusk hit the wall, leaving a large cracked on it. The Grimm shook its head from the collision. Arthur then thought of idea as his face showed a smirked. He dashed towards the monster who regain its balance.
"What is he doing?" Adam said loudly as the battle continues.
The Grimm charged once more towards the swordsman as the boy slides under the monster. He used the opportunity as he slashed his sword across the boar's belly. The monster continued to run until it dropped down like a ragdoll, rolling on the floor and split into two.
Arthur do a side roll and stood up victoriously while panting slightly from the fight.
"Bravo! Bra-vo! It appear that we are indeed in a presence of true Hunter-in-training." Port clapped his hand as the rest of the class give him a round of applause.
"Wow…he's strong…" Adam commented looking at blonde haired swordsman.
Arthur looked up and saw the Wolf Faunus and gave a slight glare before leaving the area. Adam narrowed his eyes before looking at Professor Port.
"I'm afraid that's all the time we have today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and…stay vigilant! Class dismissed." Port said as most of the student were walking out from the room as Raiden noticed Weiss glaring at Ruby before she hurriedly walked away.
"Sheesh, what's with her?" Jaune asked as he saw her leaves.
"That's what we're wondering too." Blake said.
"Maybe she need more ice to cool down the temper!" Yuuki smirked.
"Oh Yuuki…" Max shook his head while Yang laughed at the puns.
"Good one Snow Boy!" She high-five the boy which Yuuki immediately accept it.
"It's Certified Gn and thank you!"
"It's not that funny…" Adam commented as Ruby already walked away out of the class followed by Raiden stood up and walked away.
"And what's matter with him?" Ren looked at the Lightning Swordsman.
"Well…eventually, he once a loyal butler at the Schnee Manor and a good friend of Weiss when we were chatted on last night." The Wolf Boy answered.
"He really concerned about her," Max grinned.
"Oh! Do we smell a potential Lightning Ice ship?" Yuuki asked.
"What now?" Jaune looked at the boy weirdly.
"It's a term used by people who saw a potential romance partner." Blake looked at the leader of JNPR.
"NO WAY! I will claim the princess heart no matter what happen!" The blonde swordsman exclaimed.
"If you can melt the icy heart of the Ice Queen." Yuuki commented.
[Timeskip brought to you by Lame Jokes….]
After awhile, Ruby finally managed to catch up to Weiss while Raiden followed from her back slowly as he caught up with their conversation.
"Weiss!" Ruby tried to gain the Heiress attention.
Weiss turned around to face the Little Red and yelled. "What?"
"What's wrong with you? Why are you being-"Ruby asked with a concerned face but was interrupted.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be a leader and you've been so far is a nuisance!"
"W-Weiss?" Raiden was shocked by his friend outrage towards Ruby.
"Stay out of this, Raid. This matter is between me and her!" Weiss shouted at him.
"What did I do?" Ruby scoffed at this remark.
"That just it! You've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest, you acted like a child, and you've only continued to do so!" Weiss furiously shouted.
"You take that back!" Ruby shouted angrily as she shoves Weiss.
"See, that's what I meant! Childish!" Weiss pointed out.
"Weiss, where all of this coming from?" Raiden tried to settle the argument between two of the member of team RWBY but it was waste of time since they stills continue. "You better calm down!"
"Well, I wouldn't be so childish if you stop treating me like a child!" Ruby shouted as Weiss scowled.
"I'm only treated you to how you deserve to be treated. I'm not to be in a team led by you! I've studied hard and trained frankly, I think I deserve better." The Ice Queen turned her back towards Ruby, who was trying to reach out but dropping her hand. "Ozpin made a mistake!"
Weiss walked away with Ruby looking dejectedly. Raiden looked at the Red cloaked girl with a sympathy and mouthed a word 'Sorry' before chasing the heiress.
"Hmm…Now that didn't seems to go very well," Ozpin remarked as he appeared out of nowhere. "Isn't it, Mr. Nighthowl?"
"That Schnee girl got a lot of nerve…" Adam comes out of the shadows walked towards them.
"You've heard?" Ruby asked.
"Every single words…Accidently though…" Adam sighed looking at the younger girl.
"Is she right? Do you make a mistake?" Ruby asked, on a verge of tear.
"That remains to be seen." Ozpin laughed a bit.
"It's not funny…" Arthur leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
"What do you mean?" Ruby looked at the headmaster.
"I mean, it's only been day one." Ozpin said. "Ruby, I've made more mistake then any man, woman or child ever lived on this planet, but at this moment, I do not consider your appointment to be a leader to be one of them." He then asked, do you?"
Ruby didn't said anything as she thought about it.
"Being a leader isn't just carrying your title only in battlefield, it's a badge that you wear constantly." Adam gave his own thought towards her. "If we do not always performs at our absolute best than what reason to give others to follow us?"
"Adam is right. You've burden with a daunting responsibility, both of you. I'd advise you to take some time to think of how you will hold it, especially you Ruby." Ozpin turned his back of them.
"And if the burden too heavy for you to carry, I will pleased to help you carry it!" Adam reassured her as he put his hand on her shoulder. Ruby smiled thankfully at the boy which he gave a smile of his own.
[Meanwhile…]
"WEISS! STOP!" Raiden shouted for his friend as they reached to the balcony.
"What do you want Raiden?" Weiss shouted as she called her friend in full name. "Why are you trying to defend her?"
Raiden stopped and looked at the heiress. "Why shouldn't I?"
"Of all the other people in the school, you would be more understanding of this situation!" She looked at the white haired swordsman with a serious tones. "I mean, looked at your friends! That are not worthy to be your teammates!"
"Well, they might've been weird but I can bear with it…" Raiden commented as he kneeled on the post of the balcony.
"You've changed Raid…" Weiss looked down as she had slight sad tone coming out from her mouth. "Ever since that I thought that you…"
"…Died from that accident?" Raiden finished the word as atmosphere around them becomes gloomy all of sudden. "I kind of surprised that I actually survived that explosion…"
Weiss looked at him with a sad impression plastered on her face. "Ever since that day...my life became…lonely…I…I don't know what to do until…you came to my manor…"
"That was the day I've become your butler am I right?" Raiden smiled at her which she only nodded.
"But…why…why did you gone so long?" Weiss asked.
"I've trained with my brothers…" Raiden answered which shocked her for a bit. "When the accident happen, my master saves me from the death and since then…I've started to live with them. Well, our live is always hectic and chaotic but it was normal…I never been so happy in my entire life…until one day…everything changed…"
"What happen?" Weiss looked at him, as his expression turned grim all of sudden.
"I rather not talk about it…"He sighed before smiling at her. "But the most important thing is, you need to accept them even they're weird, chaotic and slight crazy not as a teammates…but as your friends."
Weiss looked at him, thinking about the words that have been told by Raiden.
"Well, true strength doesn't come from your skills nor your talent…It comes from here…" He pointed at his chest. "That what was Master Bruce said to us when we were young. So you better believe it…"
Raiden walked away from the balcony, leaving the heiress alone on at the place.
[Timeskip by Long speeches…]
After the talked with Weiss, Raiden walked into his dorm as he looked at his teammates who were already waiting for his arrival.
"Took you long enough! I thought that you were dating with that Ice Queen?" Yuuki teased.
"I-It's not like that!" Raiden blushed as he close the door behind him. "I was just comforting her…that's all!"
"Whatever, Raid…" Max chuckled before looking at their leader. "So, are you going to tell us about yesterday or not?"
Adam nodded before pulling out a box under the bed and put it in front of them. "I got this from our old academy…almost stolen from the hand of…someone who I don't know…"
"W-what?" Raiden sweatdropped. "Let me guess…you kicked it under his 'jewel'?"
Adam scratched the back of his neck as he laugh nervously. "Maybe?"
"Never mind. Knowing you for a long time, you love to do that when you were fighting someone…" The white haired boy sighed from the attitude of the only Faunus in the group.
"Open the chest already! I want to see what's inside of it! Maybe it was a weapon? Or maybe it was a secret recipes for Master Bruce's delicious pasta? Or maybe it was an 18+ magazines?" Yuuki smirked as he spun around the box synchronize with his question.
"I doubt about that…" Max sweatdropped.
"It's can be a…possibility…" Raiden tapped his chin while thinking about it.
"The magazines?" The navy haired boy appeared in front of the swordsman.
"N-No! I was thinking about the weapons! Nothing else whatsoever." Raiden stammered as he back away from the younger boy.
"Oh…so tell me about this book!" Yuuki pulled a black book from out of nowhere with the title named 'Ninja of Love' written on it.
"R-Raid?" Adam raised his eyebrows from the title of the book.
"I didn't know you like that stuff…" Max commented while chewing his snack.
"That wasn't mine!" The Lightning Swordsman denied while blushing really hard.
'Oh yeah! Say that to my innocent eyes!' Jack screamed in his head.
"Look! Even Jack denies it!" Raiden lied while looking away from the stare.
"No you weren't! Jack even said that he read it as well!" The Certified Gn throw the book towards him. "By the way, back to the business!"
"R-Right…" Adam opened the chest to reveal the inside of the chest. It's filled with lots of ancient books from the older days.
"HA! I knew it!" Yuuki exclaimed picking out one of the book but it wasn't what he expect it to be. "Wait a minute…it's not adult magazines…"
"Darn…" Raiden sighed, earning some looks from others. "I mean…what is that actually?"
"This is the books written by the past historian and even our master. One of the book is about the 'Tales of Colossus'." The leader of team ARMY pulled out a big black book with the title on it. He then opened it so they can see the contents of the books. "This book is full of mythologies of the ancient Colossus Grimm which have been living in Remnant for about centuries…"
"But how come no one tried to kill those gigantic monster?" Max said as he looked at the picture of one of the Grimm which recently been killed, Valus but the picture immediately faded, turning into an outline with words that says 'Executed."
"That…I don't know…but there's only sixteen of them in the existence and people were still searching for it…but ended up in failure or worst…" Adam looked down and turned to the other pages as his eyes suddenly widened for some reason.
"What's the matter Ad?" Yuuki looked at the picture of a silhouette of four legged Colossus Grimm with already had the word executed on it.
"That's weird….the other day, I swore that sixteen of them still alive." Adam looked at them.
"Wait…we recently killed Valus…and this was…the second one…" Raiden suddenly realized from where this was going. "Someone else already killed it…"
"But the question is…who?" Max asked as they looked at the faded picture as they didn't realize…a small symbol of a shield with a wyvern on it were on top of the pages before it faded as well.
