Greetings, hunters and huntresses and welcome to the next chapter of Team ARCG: Wrath Of A Knight. I hope your all going to enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the review.
kyrogue23: He probably took it when Ruby forgot her deck box in the library or something. I was debating with either calling him Soroi or Alfred, but I went with Soroi because... I don't know, I just like Satsuki...
Now story time.
After gathering the things needed to go to the beach, all of Team ARCG except Avaro were walking to the parking lot where Team JNRP and Team RWBY were already waiting for them.
"On who are we waiting?", Yang asked as Team ARCG prepared their motorcycle.
"Oh, we are just waiting for Cinder.", Ciaran said cheerfully, much to Yang's annoyance.
"Hey, where is Drayce.", Weiss asked his team mates.
"He would be later. Why do you ask?", Gabriel asked.
"Oh, no reason...", Weiss trailed off as she and Blake went ahead and began to mount their motorcycles.
Yang gave a huff when she saw Cinder arrive, taking a seat behind Ciaran, who gained a slight blush on his cheeks when he felt her breast rub against his back.
Just as Remus mounted his own red sport bike, he noticed a certain look Ruby's face, "What's wrong Little Red?", he asked, as he placed his helmet on.
"I... Don't have a motorcycle license...", she muttered, rubbing the back of her head, but then a helmet was thrown at her, which she quickly catch.
"You can ride with me.", Remus offered, getting a smile from the shorter girl, who accepted it with a grin as she placed her helmet on and climbed on back and they were off.
"Is the beach really this way? We have been on the rode for a while.", Pyrrha asked as they drove along the road.
"Avaro gave us coordinates to a better beach than we were planning on going originally.", Gabriel said, pulling up to the red head.
"I am positive we are close to the beach!", Nora said, pulling up next to her teammate, "Can't you smell the ocean!?"
"You can trust her on that Pyrrha. She has the nose of a beast.", Ren said, getting a pouting look from Nora.
"What's that suppose to mean!?" Nora shouted offended.
And indeed it wasn't long before the sparkling clear water of the ocean came into view. "Whoa, pretty.", the voice of Ruby came from behind Remus.
Looking into his mirror, he spotted Sun driving a motorcycle with Neptune riding on the back, coming really fast towards before passing them. "Why didn't you tell us about going to the beach!?", Sun said, pulling up to the front.
"Because its suppose to be for Team ARCG, Team RWBY and Team JNPR.", Gabriel explained, but before they could say more, a dragon shaped shadow fall over them.
"Crap is it a dragon Grimm?", Ciaran asked, but instead of a dragon shaped Grimm, it seemed to be a jet plane shaped like a dragon.
When it flew right next to the road, the group saw that the jet was being piloted by Avaro, "See you at the beach! Losers!" the wolf Faunus said through the speakers, giving them a mock salute before flying past them.
"Oh hell no!", Sun shouted, a terrified looking Neptune holding on for dear life as he speed up.
"No one is going to beat me to the beach. Hang on Cinder!", Ciaran shouted as he revved up his motorcycle, speeding past their friends, quickly catching up to Sun and Neptune and speeding past them.
Ruby yelped from the sudden increase of speed as Remus joined into the race as well, instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist. It was really thrilling speeding so fast on a motorcycle, though everyone save for Jaune, Pyrrha, Weiss, Ren and Blake easily went over the speed limit, and both Ruby and Cinder almost were thrown off.
After about twenty minutes, they stopped at the drive in of a large mansion, with access to a large privet beach. Ciaran and Cinder narrowly beating Sun and Neptune there, but unfortunately, they could see Avaro leaning against his jet reading a book.
"You guys are finally here. I am almost done reading this.", the wolf Faunus said smugly, closing the book.
"I will get you next time, Avaro!", Sun said with a cheerful smile as Neptune jumped off and quickly went over to a nearby bush to empty his stomach.
"The chance of that happening is about the same as the difference between your wealth and mine. Which is a lot.", Avaro said smugly.
"Okay, where did you get a freaking dragon shaped jet?", Ciaran asked impressed as the rest of the group arrived.
"Using my technical skills, I designed the perfect jet plane. Then I got bored with that, so I designed this expensive toy instead.", Avaro explained.
"And I almost thought you weren't a complete deluded ego-maniac.", Weiss said, carrying her back with beach supplies on her shoulder.
"Yeah, the head doubles as a storage compartment.", Avaro said, ignoring what the heiress said as he opened said compartment and a bag with his own beach supplies came out, "How useless is that? I am literately flying around inside an action figure!"
"So, is this the right place?", Jaune asked as they followed towards the front door, which opened revealing Soroi, Avaro's butler.
"Welcome master Avaro and the young master's friends. Welcome to Avaro's humble abode.", the butler said as he led them in.
"Soroi is kidding of course. Its actually worth more than any of you will ever make.", Avaro said, before turning to Weiss, who had opened her mouth to respond, "Especially you, Schnee. We won't be here long, but make yourself at home."
"Sweet! This is gonna rock!", Sun shouted, just as they arrived in the large living room, over seeing the large blue ocean, "Hey, wanna go to the beach? It's right there. Dude, this place rules! Come on, let's go!"
"What, already? I mean, sure, but let me get changed first!", Neptune said.
"Then, I'll see ya there. I'm not gonna waste a single minute!", Sun said, throwing of his shirt and shoes before running off.
A little while later, the guys were leaving the changing rooms, Ciaran was dressed in his black swimming trunks with a white floral pattern, Avaro wearing a simple white swimming trunks with a dragon pattern, Remus was wearing a red version with a tribal design, Gabriel a light blue one.
"So what should we do?", Gabriel asked, "Anyone up for a game of beach volley ball?"
"You must be joking... We come all the way to the beach and you're gonna play some game?", Sun asked.
"What's wrong with that? You got a better idea?", Gabriel shot back.
"Damn right, I do! I've got the perfect activity!", Sun said excitedly, just as Yang arrived, "Say hello to contestant No. 1, Yang Xiao Long! As you can see, she's chosen a bold design, quite expected! It takes a lot of confidence to pull off a swimsuit like that!"
Weiss entered, wearing her white designer bathing suit, "Is that umbrella taken?"
"Next up is Contestant No. 2, Weiss Schnee!...", Sun announced.
"Wow, Weiss, I had no idea you were so...", Neptune said with a slight blush, "I mean, you should wear a swimsuit more often!"
"Very smooth.", Avaro said dryly, getting an amused look from his teammates as the rest of the girls entered.
"Wow... Cinder, you're beautiful...", Pyrrha complimented the dark haired girl, who was dressed in a crimson red bikini top and bottom.
"Yeah, your skin is flawless! Did you already put on sunscreen?", Ruby asked surprised.
"No, not yet.", Cinder said, sounding rather smug with herself.
"Dude, that girl is going out with you? Please teach me your secret!", Sun whispered to Ciaran.
"What are you guys out here? You should be in the water!", Pyrrha said, a faint blush on her cheeks.
"I think they were waiting for us.", Nora asked with a cheeky smirk.
"Hey Ciaran, were you checking me out?", Cinder asked, while looking over his muscular chest with a sly smile, much to Yang's annoyance.
"Uhm, shouldn't we get into the water?", Ruby asked.
"Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Pyrrha, Nora and Cinder all win the Ladies Of Summer competition!", Sun shouted happily, raising his arms, "I am surrounded by such beautiful mermaids!"
"I am surprised they can get this worked up over just some swimsuits...", Avaro said as Remus leaned over to him.
"So... Which one's your type?", the red head asked.
"I'm not interested.", Avaro said, crossing his arms.
"Yeah, like I believe that. I bet it is a certain white haired heiress.", Remus said with a smirk, "Man, this is great! I'm in heaven! How 'bout a swim!?"
A little later as everyone was enjoying their time at the beach, Ruby was sitting on her towel, writing in her journal as she watched everyone else enjoying themselves. Her silver eyes then fell on Remus playing a game of volley ball with Yang against Ciaran and Cinder.
As Ruby watched the red haired, her hand started to move unconsciously write about him too.
'He is mean at times but besides that when you get to know him he is actually nice person to be around. Maybe he is a criminal like his brother but I think he can change and I'm going to help him. He is also kinda handsome with his red hair and green eyes.'
Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked back at what she had written, her cheeks turned red as she tried to erase it, but was stopped when Gabriel spoke up. "What are you writing?", he asked, standing over her with two strawberry ice creams, but before Ruby take the letter away, Gabriel used his Semblance to steal her journal.
"You have crush on Remus?", Gabriel said surprised, handing the book back and her a ice cream, "I mean it's your first crush but a criminal like him?", a bit of protectiveness and jealousy in his voice.
Meanwhile over at the nearby woods, Weiss had convinced Avaro to take a walk with her. Weiss was now wearing a white summer dress over her swimming suit as well as a pair of gray sandals.
Avaro simply had simply put on a simple black v-neck t-shirt and a pair of white sneaker.
"Is there a reason you dragged me away from my game of volley ball with Ruby, Blake and Sun?", the wolf Faunus said as they tracked through the forest, instead of an answer, he a scream was heard.
Turning around, he noticed Weiss had disappeared from right beside him, instead he found a rather large hole which he hadn't noticed before.
Sliding down the hole himself, he saw that it led to cavern which should lead to the beach. Looking around, he saw Weiss huffing around, her once pure white dress now sported dust and dirt from landing on the ground.
"Great, now I have to spend even more time with you.", Avaro said, startling the heiress of his rival family.
"Avaro? Is that you?", Weiss asked.
"No. This is obviously a Grimm disguising himself as Avaro Drayce.", the CEO said sarcastically, with a roll of his eye.
"Your not funny. How are we gonna find our way out of here!?", Weiss demanded.
"Leave that to me.", Avaro said, sniffed the air deeply, "I can smell fresh air in this direction. If we go that way, we should arrive back at the beach."
"How do you?", Weiss asked, but she was interrupted.
"I am a Faunus remember, our senses are sharper then humans.", Avaro simply explained, walking over to Weiss and lifting her up bridal style.
"H-hey! Put me down!" she shouted, trashing around, he ignored her order and just continued to walk forward, "Hey, are you deaf!? Not to mention blind! It's as black as night down here!"
"Faunus, remember? I can see in the dark, this will make traveling easier for the both of us. So shut your mouth for once.", Avaro ordered. Weiss scoffed, but remained quiet as she had no choice but to lean against his muscular chest.
Weiss was thankful that Avaro was focusing on the path ahead, otherwise he would notice the growing blush on her pure, white face.
"H-hey, A-Avaro?" Weiss asked after a while.
"What?", he asked.
"The reason I asked you to go on a walk... I... I wanted to apologize for calling you a mutt... and a dog... and a accusing you for stealing Ruby's trading card.", Weiss said.
"Did you bump your head on your way down here, Schnee?", Avaro asked, sounding not very impressed.
"I am trying to be mature! I will admit that I can be a little bit... difficult.", Weiss admitted.
"Only a little?", he asked, getting an insulted growl from Weiss just as they stepped out of the cave and into the sunlight. A few meters away, they saw the rest of the friends enjoying their day.
Placing her back on her feet, Avaro was about to walk away but before he did, he turned around to say one last thing to the Schnee heiress, "Apology accepted... Weiss.", he said. Her heart beat so hard and fast she was afraid that he would be able to hear it. That's the first time he as ever said her name.
