Epilogue:
Team RWBY watched as the police led Chimera away. Rugal was confined to a specially crafter cryogenic casket that would keep him on ice for as long as it was powered. Sting followed closely behind, her hands bound behind her with handcuffs. Perhaps the most drastic of all was Arcturus. Whatever Wesley did to him, it wasn't pretty. The cops had no choice but to call in an ambulance.
"What the hell..." Nicole said as she looked at him. "Don't you think you overreacted?"
"Serves him right for trying to hurt my ladies." Wesley growled.
Weiss took a step back. "I swear, if he tries to perform any form of seductive rite, I will throw him into one of those police vans."
"Don't worry Weiss." Ruby said in an attempt to calm her. "Nicole will probably help out there."
Firemen were currently struggling to put out the flames left in the wake of the battle. Apparently, the whole city had been startled ever since the Death Stalker had burst through the arena. The entire place was a shambles now, meaning the upcoming tournament had to wait.
"Ruby!" Came a voice. Ruby turned to see Jaune running up to her, followed closely by the rest of team JNPR. Incidentally, Velvet Scarlatina trailed behind.
"We heard about it all." Pyrrha said. "Is it true that those horrible criminals managed to control a Death Stalker?"
"More like forcibly revive it." Weiss explained. "It was quite a shock to me too."
"But man, you should have seen Wesley." Yang smiled. "He cut that thing apart in seconds! Man, he really is one of Beacon's strongest graduates."
"He must be quite an individual." Pyrrha followed, earning her a groan from Weiss.
"Is that him?" Ren asked, gesturing at the wolf Faunus wearing the black trench coat. His wolf ears now perked up. Turning around, he walked over to the small group of students.
"Well, this is quite the surprise." Wesley said. "Mind if I know you guys?"
Ruby moved forward, introducing everyone. "Wesley, this is Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren and Velvet Scarlatina. They're also students of Beacon, like us. Guys, this is Wesley Snide, the leader of team WNDR."
"I-It's an honor." Jaune stammered.
"Same here." Pyrrha replied, gazing with awe. "I never thought I'd meet one of Beacon's strongest."
"Hi!" Nora gave a wide toothy smile in greeting. Ren nodded curtly while Velvet merely waved a shy hand in greeting.
"Pleasure is all mine." Wesley smiled. "It's great to see young rising stars of Beacon getting along well together. Nothing makes me any happier than seeing people who have absolutely no relation with each other stand as one amidst adversity."
"Anyways," Wesley continued. "I want to thank you guys for your help. We never would have caught Chimera without your help. It's been too long these criminals were allowed to do as the pleased on the streets."
"Well, we wouldn't be alive if not for you Wesley." Ruby grinned. "It was absolutely awesome what you did."
"Thanks, but I'm not the greatest there is." Wesley smiled. "We all managed to catch them because we worked together despite our differences. Chimera was a tough outfit because they too worked together in the same way. But they lacked a certain something. Wanna know what it was?"
"What is it?" Blake asked, intrigued.
"Sting just picked up Arcturus and Rugal because she saw them as convenient people who worked to her advantage. That's just about the same as looking at an item or tool. But you guys..." Wesley winked. "You guys saw each other as teammates. And that's the kind of attitude that'll see you through your tough times. Ozpin told me that once, it's a really good piece of advice mind you."
"And we'll hang onto it." Ruby grinned, giving a thumbs-up.
"That's the spirit." Wesley nodded. "Anyways, once I've handed these felons over, I'll be leaving. What I'm trying to say is, this is goodbye."
"What?" Yang said with surprise. "But why not just settle down?"
"I ain't the type for settling." Wesley said. "Besides, when I went to Beacon, it was to help as many people as I could. So I thought, why not the whole world? I mean, I can't exactly be everywhere at once, but when trouble calls, I just have to go, don't I?"
"It's a shame." Pyrrha said sadly. "I really wanted to spar with you just once."
"Well, heck. Maybe I could teach you guys a thing or two." Wesley smiled. "It'd be good showing the new bunch some of the tricks I learned. Maybe Nicole can help too. Besides, BrĂ¼llen's starting to collect dust. Might as well huh?"
"Really?" Pyrrha said with a gleam in her eyes. "That'll be great! Jaune could also learn tons from you!"
"Of course! Anyone's welcome. But before that..." Wesley now leaned in, eyeing the seven ladies in front of him. "Why not we hang out for a bit first? I know one great place where they sell the finest wine. Of course, Ruby can just get the usual juice. Gotta respect age and all, right?"
"Huh?" Pyrrha blinked. Wesley merely moved in, studying Pyrrha, Nora and Velvet.
"I never knew team RWBY had such wonderful friends." He said. "How about we have a private chat after my little showcase? I'd love to talk with the Mistral regional champion and her lovely friend here. At this, he gestured to Nora, who now looked at him weirdly.
"Plus, it's been awhile since I saw a beautful rabbit Faunus." He said, eyeing Velvet. "So whadya say baby? Wanna hang out? It can be a threesome if it makes you comfortable."
Velvet's face suddenly flushed red. "U-um... Well...I...Uh..." She stared as the words came out incoherently.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAI YA!" Nicole yelled as she charged at him, her fist smashing into the back of his head.
"ARRRRGH!" Wesley cried out as Nicole's punch blew his face into the paved floor below. Pyrrha, Nora and Velvet jumped back in shock and surprise at her sudden attack.
"I leave you alone for five minutes and this happens." Nicole growled. "Team RWBY, do me a favour and teach every girl at Beacon how to deal with men like this, okay?"
"Sure." Weiss nodded, venom lacing her voice. She'd had enough of the womaniser for her entire lifetime.
"Ugh... Agh..." Wesley groaned, his hand rising off the floor shakily. "C-come on... Think... about... my wellbeing... for a change..."
"Come on guys." Nicole said to everyone of the Beacon students. "Let's go. I know this wonderful cafe that sells the best Parfaits. My treat!" At this, she walked past them, stepping on Wesley in the process.
"AGH!" He cried out as Nicole's heel stomped on his skull.
Nicole turned around, frowning. "Did I just step on something?"
"Bye Wesley!" Ruby said. "See you later at Beacon!"
At once, the students walked away, leaving Wesley on his own in the middle of the street.
Wesley sighed as he got up, brushing the dirt off his face. "Ah... Why do they always need to be so difficult. Well, guess I'd better get back to my job..."
Author's Note:
Whew, finally done. I admit I did have a little bit of fun writing this, and not just because my OC was pretty much a lecherous perv.
If there are a few things I must confess though, this is the first one I did where our beautiful RWBY ladies went up against some other team of villains, so all the while I wondered if the battle scenes got too elaborated or not elaborated at all. Seems I'll need to wait for what people think. The next is that the Death Stalker part was rather anticlimatic. Still, I hope everyone enjoyed the characters of Wesley Snides and Nicole Tamias. They were just ideas that walked into my head suddenly and I had to pen them down.
Anyways, hope you enjoy this story! RWBY volume 2 air online officially on 24th July! Hopefully the RTX vid comes up soon and I get to watch the panel itself. See ya next time!
