As the three stood, the fight about to start, Yuki wondered if he should actually do something to help Smash against Yang and Ryker. But then his drink arrived and decided against it. Smash will be fine.
(((Beep Boop)))
Yang, just wanting this to be over with so she could get her information, shot forward with her gauntlets and aimed to just knock Smash out and be done with it.
The punch connected and Smash's head turned. Before turning back and looking at Yang.
"I figured you had some anger to let out so I let you hit me. I'm not letting you hit me again though." He said as Yang threw another punch. Said punch was dodged with relative ease allowing Smash to block a swing of the Dawn Breaker from Ryker with the D-Glaive.
Smash shoved the axe aside and kicked Ryker square in the stomach. Making him skid a few feet backwards as he groaned before shaking it off.
Before Smash could move forward he was punched in the back of the head by Yang, actually lifting him off his feet and sending him face first into the ground. This did not last long as it turns out Smash knows how to dance. He used the momentum of the fall to become a whirling cyclone of kicks before jumping up and balancing the D Glaive on his finger.
Ryker charged behind him before stopping and switching the Dawn Breaker from Axe to Light Machine Gun with Chainsaw. And started firing.
And Smash just walked right through them. "You're gonna have to get some better ammo Ryker! Tiny bits of metal won't affect me!" He said before side-stepping a hit from the Chainsaw (Not running) and grabbing Ryker by the neck and repeatedly punching his stomach. Before being stopped by Yang who shot him in the back. And then did it again. And again. And...You see where this is going?
While the shots hurt quite a bit. It wasn't anything damaging at the moment. With a roundhouse kick to Ryker's face, he turned around and started swiping with the D-Glaive. Sending the shots towards the ground and ceiling with each alternating swing.
"Just go down already!" Yang yelled before propelling herself forward into close quarters combat once again with Ryker coming in for the assist.
Smash blocked Yang's punch with his forearm but was hit by Ryker in the leg, tripping him and allowing Yang to send Smash flying into a pillar that he started jumping up before using his Dash Boots to gain a bunch of momentum quickly, sending him flying into Ryker with the world's most glorious headbutt. Instantly downing Ryker as he felt his ribs crack.
As Smash got up and tripped Yang who charged at him once again, he pulled something out from behind him and threw it at Ryker. "Give that back later will ya?" The item, a subtank, started mending Rykers poor ribs with nanomachines that self-destructed upon completion.
Yang had started to get up before the D-Glaive was planted in front of her face into the floor.
"Yang. I'll give you one more chance. Get out, or I'll throw you out. I've already taken out Ryker, poor guy doesn't know how to fight with a team mate in close quarters..." Smash said as he looked back at Ryker, not noticing that he had cut Yangs hair and her left eye was twitching.
"You...Cut...My...Hair!" Yang yelled before getting up and pummeling Smash. Each hit sending him back a little more. And each hit hurting him a little more.
And then she was picked up.
Smash just held her above his head like nothing was wrong and walked to the exit.
"Oh. You were actually serious about throwing us out. Huh." Yang said blankly as she was literally thrown out of the club. With Ryker following soon after. His ribs fixed and conscious.
Smash stood at the door. "Sorry! We would have fought longer but we've caused enough damage to the club and the Author realized that he doesn't know how to write a two against one fight!" He yelled before closing the door and going back to the bar to pick up Junior, who was lying on the ground in pain due to having his nuts painfully tugged. Then tugged harder when said hands grabbing his nuts were pulled off forcefully while still holding on.
"I don't think they'll bother you anymore, and if they do, I'm probably gonna be frequenting this place. Great service for such a shady bar that deals with criminals. Anyways, you should probably get your nuts checked. See ya!" Smash said before walking away and flashing into his "Trap Mode" again and sitting at the booth with Yuki. Watching as the previous bar goers returned to the dance floor. Smash hadn't even realized they had evacuated the stage.
"Well that was bad. This...didn't ruin the night right? I was having fun and don't want it to end." Smash said looking at the dance floor with a minor frown.
"Nah it's fine. It's like 6 PM. We have plenty of time...Dance Battle?" Yuki suggested.
"Fuck yeah let's go."
And go they did. The video recording of Yuki and Sma...June's dance battle became popular in every city that wasn't vale. Becoming the most liked video on the internet within 4 and a half hours of posting.
Unfortunately the recording corrupted at the last 30 seconds so it's a mystery who won.
Rip Dance Battle.
(((Beep Boop)))
With Roman...
Roman was heading towards a warehouse he owned to plan out his next big plan before he looked up.
"I feel like something horribly acted out just happened. As if a fight that was so bad everyone had to look away occurred right this moment."
He shook his head.
"Ah it's probably nothing."
(((Beep Boop)))
Meanwhile at Beacon.
Jaune was setting everyone's alarm to 7:30 so they had enough time to get up and making sure he had his gear on him. He was gonna learn magic!
"Heh. Magic. Like something out of a fairy tale. Except it's real."
Pyrrha walked up to Jaune from where she was doing assigned homework. "Jaune...do you really think that...Eagle knows magic? It seems a bit farfetched doesn't it? I mean it could just be her semblance." She said with a small frown on her face.
"It could be, but I have faith that she's telling the truth. What she showed me couldn't be faked or a semblance. It was too diverse. Healing and some sort of giant explosion from the ground? Why would I pass up even the chance for it to be real!" Jaune said, getting more excited the more that he spoke.
"Well...Alright Jaune if you're sure. Just be careful. If its as strong as you say you'd best listen to Eagle." Pyrrha said, worried.
"Don't worry. It will be fine alright? I'll see you guys later!" Jaune said as he left the room to go to the arena, where Eagle would be teaching Jaune.
Nothing of note happened on the way over, just Cardin and the other members of his racist team getting out of the nurse's room after getting their dicks kicked in. Walking seemed to cause them pain.
Jaune entered the arena and was astounded at what he saw. Instead of Eagle sitting or standing somewhere waiting, he saw two people moving at insane speeds building some massive machine out of seemingly nothing.
As he just stared at what was going on before him, he felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned to see Eagle, who had actually been sitting in the room the whole time watching the people building the big machine and hoping they don't get hurt.
"Impressed? That's Mandi and Dylan doing that. I have no idea how they do it and I don't want to know, that seems pretty dangerous. Anyways are you ready to start?" Eagle asked, watching an explosion cover Mandi's face in soot but staying unharmed.
"Uh...yeah. Let's start. And get out of here before a bigger explosion happens." Jaune said with an odd look on his face before running to the part of the room furthest away from the machine. With Eagle walking behind him.
When Eagle reached Jaune she started a brief explanation of how white magic works. "Okay...how do I put this...White Magic cannot be learned and everyone can learn every bit of White Magic. White Magic is kind of like a living thing that picks and chooses who deserves what power it has...um...it always has a sort of order though. A person will always start with the weaker spells and as they grow stronger or smarter or something similar, they will learn new spells. It will just come to you suddenly. Do you get it?" Eagle asked after the explanation.
"Ah...Yeah. Yeah I think I got it." Jaune said uncertainly. He didn't know how that was supposed to work in the slightest.
"Okay good...I didn't want to say more. Now, I'm going to put a bit of magic through you, and I want you to tell me what words pop into your head." Eagle said before putting both her hands on Jaune chest.
"H-hey! You could have waited a se-" Was all Jaune got out before he felt a strange sensation flow throughout his body, and information force its way into his head. Cure, Shell, Protect, Cura, Silence, Libra.
Jaune Couldn't describe the feeling of having knowledge shoved into his brain like it just was. But the magic Eagle was putting into him felt warm. Safe even.
"I got it...Cure, Shell, Protect, Cura, Silence and Libra. I know what they do and how to use them...But how? I don't understand...how did it work?" Jaune asked. More confused than me after that Christmas party.
"I dunno...I'm gonna go get foods. You wanna come?"
Jaune was utterly baffled at the casualness of Eagle at this moment. But he could go for some food as well...
"Yeah sure. Where to?"
(((Beep Boop)))
Ruby was in her dorm with Blake. Sitting at her desk. Yang was out with Ryker, hopefully staying out of trouble, And Weiss was walking around the school and memorizing the layout, as she hadn't had the time to do it before.
She was looking at Crescent Rose and thinking of ways she could improve it. But there was one thing on her mind and she couldn't for the life of her get it out of her mind.
Smash.
Just something about him...his mannerisms, how he held his weapons, just the very sound he makes by existing...It felt off. It gave Ruby the feel she had when she worked on Crescent Rose. He felt just like a Weapon. Every single time she thought of a weapon her mind would turn to Smash. And she Didn't. Know. Why.
She took a look at Blake, who was sitting on her bed reading a book. The cover said "Plane Axe" But what Ruby didn't know what that Blake was actually reading the newest "Ninja's of love" book that she had placed inside "Plane Axe".
Blake noticed the look. Normally it wouldn't have raised an eyebrow but in the very short time she had known Ruby, she had learned that when she was working on something she wouldn't look away until she was finished.
"Something on your mind?" She asked, not taking her eyes off the book. Ruby just sighed, knowing that Blake knew something was up.
"I can't get someone out of my head. He's constantly there every time I think about weapons."
Blake raised her other eyebrow at the 'he' part.
"Do you have any idea why he's on your mind?" She asked, semi-curious about Ruby's issue now.
"Yeah...My problem is that I don't know why he is the way he is...it's confusing and I don't like it! People shouldn't be like he is!"
Blake went from semi-curious to fully invested in a few sentences.
"So who are we talking about right now?"
"I'm talking about Smash. The S in Team EYSM? Our neighbors. He's just...different than other people. He feels like Crescent Rose and I don't know why. It's just a weird feeling I have..." Ruby trailed off, not sure how to continue speaking.
Blake let out a sigh. She had been thinking about their neighbors as well. Specifically, the guy who looked oddly hot in a skirt...
"If you don't understand the odd feeling that I can only assume isn't a crush of some kind considering you're not stumbling over your words, you should go talk to him about it. He may have some idea why you're feeling the way you do." Blake offered. Ruby briefly considered it before coming to the slightly obvious realization that she'd never figure the feeling out if she didn't either ask or kidnap him.
"You're right! Thanks Blake!" Ruby said before running out of the room. Then coming back in half a minute later when she was told that Smash was out with Yuki, Ryker and DJ.
(((Beep Boop)))
DJ was sitting in a library reading from a huge stack of books that he had gathered over his visit. He was reading about the history of Vale and Remnant as a whole. You see, DJ was always a history nut. He simply loved to learn about history and had encyclopedic knowledge of feudal Japan...which was now entirely useless.
So that's why DJ is here, to get more knowledge on the world they ended up on.
It was pretty boring.
That is until somebody took a seat across from DJ. He looked up to see none other than Pyrrha Nikos. Popular girl in the school and he doesn't have a clue why.
"Hey Pyrrha! What are you doing here?" DJ asked before going back to reading, keeping his ears open.
"Well I came here to read up about the history of Vale. I know plenty about Mistral but my knowledge about Vale is lacking. Everyone on my team is out as well so I have some free time. I assume you're reading up on Vale as well?" Pyrrha asked, noticing the large pile of books to the side.
"Yep. I'm from Tellius and only came here for Beacon and because my friends are here. So I don't really know much about the area."
"Tellius? Where is that?"
'Fuck. She shouldn't have known that.' DJ thought in his head after he fucked up.
Deciding to wing it, he took out his scroll and began typing a message to a group chat while he answered Pyrrha. "Tellius is a small island of many off to the east. The location is just off the map of remnant. Whoever drew it made a few mistakes. My friends and I are from those islands." Those were the exact words that DJ typed to the group chat as well. The 7 who saw the message knew that DJ fucked up.
'Wait why am I even worried about this? It's not like our lives are in danger if we reveal this...so why am I worried? Why don't I want to tell the truth?'
"Well that's where I lived. So, where did YOU live Pyrrha?" DJ asked, putting the thought to the back of his head.
"Well...I used to live in Mistral..."
This continued for some time. DJ and Pyrrha talked for many hours until they went back to beacon together. Learning about Vale forgotten.
(((Beep Boop)))
Ryker and Yang were walking through the hallways of Beacon to their dorm rooms. The night having been partially ruined when Smash literally threw them out of the bar they were going to get information from. It wasn't all bad though. They went to another bar and got a few drinks, danced. Did those things until it was fairly late at night. Ryker Semi-Hammered, though he didn't show it, and Yang still being sober enough to drive her motorcycle proficiently.
When she entered her dorm room, Ryker going to his while holding onto the wall to avoid falling over from drunkenness.
Everyone in the dorm was asleep, even Weiss who had returned from her 4 hour tour of the school and its campus. And Ruby, who had probably stayed up late waiting for Yang to come back.
Truthfully Yang didn't know what time it was and really didn't care. She plopped onto her bed face first and immediately fell asleep. Dreaming of getting thrown out of a bar by a giant Smash.
Ryker meanwhile had trouble getting his door open before remembering to push. Not pull. The sudden opening of the door, and creation of a hole in the wall, startled Mandi and Eagle, who were awoken to the sounds of Ryker drunkenly breaking the wall and falling onto a bed.
The silence would not last however as Smash and Yuki both laughed their way into the room before Smash shut up and told Yuki to shut up as well. Stating that the 2 people who were supposed to be in the room were asleep and that they had to move Ryker into his own dorm.
Then Yuki picked Ryker up and went outside. When he returned Ryker wasn't with him and Smash was in his normal form. Laying on his bed on his side with the lights out.
Yuki took off his clothes, yes all of them, and went to sleep.
DJ arrived back with Pyrrha the latest of all of them. Saying a quick goodbye to the newfound friend and returning to his own dorm only to find that Dylan and Trash were moving a giant capsule of sorts into the corner of the room and Ryker was laying on bombchus instead of an actual bed. Eh. Not his problem. Was his last thought as he crawled under the covers in his clothes and fell asleep.
