(A/N)
Hello and welcome back to NCRS
I hope that you enjoy the last chapter, I quite enjoy it myself and I'm glad that a lot of people like it.
Before we get started, I should let you know that I'm working on designs for the characters and weapons for this franchise, so I'll be sure to let you know when it comes out.
To recap what happened last time, Team RWBY and NCRS started their first day of class, but Ragna and Weiss we're having issues. It wasn't until talking to their teachers, that they start to learn from their mistakes and starts to use it to improve themselves more. Meanwhile, Zeref finished his Dust Robbery, but is having a meltdown that causes the Grimm to die despite begging them to stay away. What's in store next?
Without further ado, let's get started!

Otacon's Big Day
Beacon Academy, Classroom
The students of Beacon Academy, now wearing brown overalls and gloves, black work goggles and sneakers, and a white t-shirt, walks into a large classrooms while carrying their weapons or for some of them, wearing them, as they see long tables filled with different tools on the tables with Master Miller sitting on his desk and Otacon next to him, waiting for the students to take their seats.
"Morning students." Master Miller said before standing up. "I'm Professor Miller, but you can call me Master Miller if you like. And I'll be your instructor for Weapon Building. I must say, I am impressed with the amount of weaponry that I'm seeing today. But do you ever feel like that your weapons can use some additional changes or it needs a new look?" Some of the students looks at their weapons as the weapons could use a bit of polishing, sharpening, etc. "Well that's why I'm here. As your instructor, I'll be here to guide you to through the learning process of weapons, machinery, and how to build, fix, and most importantly, upgrading them."
"I know that most of you built your weapons, but please be careful with handling these tools." Otacon said as Weiss raises her hand up. "Ms. Schnee?"
"Yes." Weiss pick up a drill, which it's a bit more futuristic than a normal drill. "Is it because some of these new tools are made from Atlas?"
"Yeah you're right." Cloud picks up a wrench and looks at it. "This looks like the one that I use to fix my motorcycle."
"That's correct Ms. Schnee." Miller answered. "That is also what I'm gonna be teaching you as well. To learn how to handle these tools. I must say, you sure got a sharp eye. I'm impressed."
"Thanks."
After Miller goes over the syllabus for this class, he and Otacon goes around to see what the students are doing and see if they need any assistance.
"Psst. Hey Cloud." Cloud turns around to Yang after she calls him. "I bet that I can beat you in a race."
"You have a motorcycle too?" Cloud whispers back.
"You bet." She answers with a wink as the two share a grin. "What do you say? Sometime after school?"
"You're on."
"Is there something that you two 'lovebirds' want to share with the class?" The two blonde blushes a bit as they turn to see Miller standing in front of them before they replied 'No' awkwardly. "Then I suggest you get back to work."
"Wow, these new tools are amazing." Ruby said with stars in her eyes as she looks at the tools.
"You seem very passionate about this Ruby." Otacon said as he writes down notes.
"Oh thank you Otacon." Ruby awkwardly said. "I love weapons a lot, so I'm excited to do a lot of weapon upgrading here in this class." She hears a chuckle as Miller walks over to her station. "Oh, hi Professor Miller."
"Hello Ms. Rose." Miller said while holding a hammer in his hand. "I'm glad to see your enthusiasm for this class. Just remember to express it in your work."
"Yes sir." Ruby salutes to him as Miller chuckles and salutes back.
Otacon walks over to Snake and Natsu's station, which Snake was about to grab a blowtorch, but Natsu holds his hand up, telling him to put it down before lighting one of his fingers on fire.
"I don't know about that Natsu.." Snake said skeptically while looking at Gray Fox, in its gun form, for a few seconds before looking at his partner. "I saw how dangerous your flames are and really I don't want my weapon and the classroom burned to ashes."
"Come on, this'll work." Natsu begs his partner to try out this method. "Besides, I've done this with my weapon before." Snake looks at Crimson Lotus, in its tonfa form, before sighing.
"If my weapon melts, you're making me a new one."
Natsu grins as he makes sure that his flame isn't too intense so he won't ending up melting the gun. He places his hand over the weapon, not too far and not too close, while Snake adjust his weapon so every bit of metal will be heated up. Otacon watches the two's cooperation and writes down notes as a smile forms on his face.
'Those two really work well together despite only knowing each other for a few days.' He thought as Snake held his free hand up to stop Natsu, to which the latter complies by making the flames disappears. 'And the other students as well. They're all focused and collaborating together like the characters from one of my comic books.'
The students continue to work separately or together on different weapons until the bell rings, which made Otacon quickly bow to Miller before grabbing his stuff and leaving, which caught the attention of Snake.
"All right class, great job today." Miller said as the students begin to pack up. "Now remember to read the first 3 chapters of your textbook and write an essay about what you learn. And NO plagiarism."
Locker Room
The students start changing out of their workshop uniform and into their casual outfit and each of them heading out one by one, except for Team RWBY, JNPR, and NCRS, who are taking their time to changing while looking at each other weapons.
"I must say, this is a lot better than before." Snake said as he does multiple thrusts with his knife, which it's slightly faster than it was previously. He then puts Gray Fox in his inner coat pocket after changing it to its base form, which it's shaped like a dog tag, but thicker and bigger.
"Pretty cool huh?" Natsu said while twirling his tonfas before changing them to claw gauntlets and doing rapid strikes in the air. "Works very well if you want to land quick, but deadly blows." He then change Crimson Lotus to wristbands before putting them on.
"I think that my weapon is looking pretty good." Jaune said while showing Team NCRS Corcera Mors as it shines in the light.
"Maybe you should sharpen the blade next time." Cloud said while holding out his sword, which it's sharper than before, as an example. "It won't be very effective if its dull."
"Wha? It's not dull." Jaune denied Cloud before Ragna and Ren holding out Blood Scythe and Storm Flower, which they're sharp as well. He quickly looks at his blade, which is not as sharp in comparison. "Ooh.." He melt his head down in disappointment.
"Just make sure that you remember to more than just make it look pretty next time." Ragna scoffs as he puts Blood Scythe into his locker and leaves the locker room.
"Pssh, he's just jealous that I know all about style." Jaune said as he, Ren, and Cloud puts their weapons away. Natsu puts on his scarf and looks at a silver locket in his hand before putting it away in his pockets. He turns around to see Snake standing in place like he has no soul in his body. "Is there something wrong?"
"Hm?" Snake snaps back to reality before looking at his partner. "Nothing, it's just something Otacon.."
"What about him?" Ren questioned Snake.
"His real name.. I've feel like that I heard it from somewhere. Cloud, does the name Hal Emmerich ring a bell to you.?"
"Hal Emmerich?" Cloud crosses his arms as the rest of the boys walks out of the locker room. "I don't know a guy name Hal, but the last name does sound familiar.."
"The hell you guys talking about?" Ragna questioned the boys as he's leaning on the wall next to them with Team RWBY behind him.
"Talking about who's the hottest girl of Beacon Academy?" Yang ask with a smirk on her face.
"So you think that Hal is a girl?" Snake said, causing Yang to feel a little flustered.
"Wait, why are you guys talking about Hal?" Blake asked while raising a brow.
"There's something that caught my attention and I want to ask him a few things."
"Like what?" Ruby asked.
"Have you girls heard of the last name, Emmerich before?" Cloud said.
"Emmerich?" Nora ask with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'm afraid that I haven't heard that last name before." Pyrrha answers. "Sorry."
"Haven't heard of it either." Yang added while Blake just shook her head.
"I think I might've heard that name before.." Weiss admitted. "Maybe it's someone that used to work with my father in Atlas?"
"Well there's only one way to find out." Natsu said as Snake just give a simple nod.
Hallway
Otacon is currently carrying his stuff while walking to his dorm so he can continue to study. Upon arriving, he sees Team RWBY, JNPR, and NCRS standing next to his door.
"Oh uh H-Hey uh.." Otacon stutters a bit while struggling to prevent his stuff from falling out of his arms. "W-What are you guys doing here?"
"Can we talk?" Snake asked Otacon as he approaches him.
"Umm sure, but can we please go inside? I don't want to drop all of my stuff.." Without giving a moment to think, the students helps out Otacon with his stuff before entering his dorm room and sorting things out. "Thanks guys."
"No problem man." Natsu said with a smile.
"So uh.. What is it that you want to talk about?" Otacon said while adjusting his glasses.
"Have you ever heard of the Metal Gear Project?" When Snake brought up the name, this made Otacon turn to him while he jumped a bit.
"H-How did you know about the Metal Gear Project?" Otacon stutters.
"Me and Snake used to be a part of the military back in Atlas." Cloud answered. "I got in because I was a part of the Green Berets before I was part of the Young Security Division for SOLDIER."
"I got into the military because of my Father, Big Boss." Snake answered while crossing his arms. "He wanted me to follow in his footsteps."
"Wait, you're Big Boss' son?" Otacon takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes before putting them back on. He squints to get a better look. "Yeah.. You do look like him."
"So what the hell is this Metal Gear Project?" Ragna asked.
"The Metal Gear Project is a new development of a new mobile TMD." Otacon answers. "The Metal Gears are designed to shoot down nuclear missiles. It's only use for defensive purposes." Without hesitation, Snake quickly grabs Otacon by the collar aggressively.
"Liar!" Snake shouted which causes majority of the teams to be shocked by Snake's approach. "I already know that Metal Gear nothing but a nuclear-equipped walking death-mobile!"
"Wha-What..!?" Otacon stutters as he becomes more nervous and scared.
"Snake, put him down!" Natsu ordered.
"You're going to hurt him!" Pyrrha begged as Jaune, Ren, Yang, Ruby, Cloud, and Weiss rushes over to the two to calm Snake down. Snake looks over to Otacon and puts him down on his bed.
"I know that you have a grudge against Metal Gear, but come on." Cloud said as everyone was holding him down.
"Ok.. I'm calm.." Snake said after taking a few deep breaths. "You can let go of me now." With that, everyone that was holding onto him let go of him. "Look, I've once fought a person using Metal Gear in an attempt to create an attack. I've found out the truth about Metal Gear from Huey Emmerich and Kenneth Baker." The teams look over at Snake first, then at Otacon with curiosity since they know what his name is.
"Wait. You're related to him?" Natsu asked as Otacon starts to look sad.
"It's true.." Otacon answers. "I should've know.."
Flashback
"The Truth is.. My grandfather was one of the few people in history to discover technology and nuclear power in Remnant.." (And imagery of a couple of Scientists developing a new technology.) "And this was during The Great War."
"The Great War? My great-great-grandfather used to fight in that war." Jaune said. "I even got my weapon from him."
"Don't get off topic." Weiss scolds at Jaune.
"S-Sorry.." Jaune said awkwardly before clearing his throat. "Go on."
"But after the new development of the technology and nuclear warhead, he suffered with a guilt for the rest of his life." (An image shows a newly developed plane drops a nuclear missile in the battlefield, killing multiple men in the process before showing the aftermath of the explosion.) "And my father… Huey Emmerich... He was born during the war…"
"God's got a sense of humor, all right." Snake said.
"Oh dear.." Pyrrha puts a hand over her mouth in concern.
"Three generations of Emmerich men.." (An image showcases another battle during the war with a couple of soldiers using different nuclear weapons. The next scene shows a couple of Soldiers throwing a resisting scientist out after finding out he was trying to delete the files for The Metal Gear Project) "We must have the curse of nuclear weapon written into our DNA.."
"Wow.. I can't believe that your family worked on so many cool looking weapons!" Ruby said as she goes into her fangirl mode for weapons for a few seconds before frowning. "But I'm sorry that your family have this nuclear weapon curse.."
Flashback (End)
"I used to think that I can use science to help mankind.." Otacon said as he starts to cry. "But in the end…. I was the one being used.. Using science for peace… That's only in anime.."
"That's enough crying." Snake said.
"If it makes you feel any better, we are grateful for your family's discovery of the technology." Natsu said as he held up his scroll while Yang activates her gauntlets.
"Yeah if it wasn't for them, then we wouldn't have the weapons and devices that we use today." Yang said in a motherly tone. This made Otacon look at the teams as they all agree with Natsu and Yang's comment.
"Especially with all of those powerful weapons!" Nora said.
"It's true that your family has created multiple dangerous weapon." Blake admitted.
"But every creation always has its pros and cons." Ren said.
"Besides, if you need any help, just come talk to us." Cloud said. This made Otacon smile while wiping his tears.
"Thanks you guys." He said before looking at a clock next to him which made him a bit flustered. "Uh, sorry guys, but I have to study now. I was told that I have to teach a class tomorrow because one of the professors have fallen ill recently."
"We understand Hal." Cloud said.
"Call me Otacon. It's short for Otaku Convention."
"Ok Otacon." Snake said as everyone else starts walking out of the dorm. He turns away and about to walk out of the door before making a complete stop. "Hey, don't let your past consume you and be sure to learn from their mistakes if you don't want mankind to suffer the same thing that happened during the Great War." All that Otacon give him was a nod. This causes Snake to smile a bit before leaving Otacon so he can study.
The Next Day
The students enters in a robotics classroom as Otacon is setting his stuff up as he's teaching Technology History. He looks at all of the students, including Team RWBY, JNPR, and NCRS sitting down while he swore that he heard a few students whispering that Otacon seems to look a little young to be a teacher.
'Don't let your past consume you and be sure to learn from their mistakes if you don't want mankind to suffer the same thing that happened during the Great War.' Snake's words echoes in Otacon thoughts as he took a deep breath while adjusting his glasses.
"Hello, I'm Hal Emmerich. But you may call me Otacon. Since Professor Wallace is currently sick, I'll be teaching Technology History, where you'll learn the evolution and development of multiple technologies over the years. Now, if you would take out your notebooks and pencil, because I will give a little brief info about my family…" As Otacon starts his lecture, the students starts writing down notes as Snake looks at Otacon for a brief moment before smiling.
'Not bad Otacon. You'll definitely make a good instructor one day.'
(A/N)
And that is it for this chapter!
Thank god I managed to head back to it and I gotta say, I really like how this turn out and I hope that you enjoy it too. Sorry if it's short, but I thought that this'll be a good start for Otacon's development.
Few things I wanna say before ending this chapter.
I've came up with some allusions for Team NCRS and HZSL, so here's the allusion for Team NCRS
Natsu Dragneel - Alludes to Agni, Hindu God of Fire
Cloud Strife - Alludes to Fenrir, The Wolf God
Ragna Bloodedge - Alludes to Ragnar Lodbrok from the Tale of the same name
David "Snake" Pliskin - Alludes to Snake Pliskin from Escape from New York
I'll be doing the Allusion for Team HZSL in the next chapter
Speaking of the next chapter, it'll be focusing on the villains since we only got small moments with them here and there in the previous chapters, so I thought that I might give you a full chapter of some of them. So be sure to stay tuned.
