Chapter 12: A few more revelations, and the enactment of an idiotic plan
Robin sat in front of Ozpin and Glynda, as they eyed her warily, "And you have no idea who that woman is" Ozpin said.
To which Robin nodded, "Besides the fact that she was engaged to Sanji, that is all I know" she stated.
"Very well" Ozpin said, "And now there's the other matter I wish to discuss with you" he said.
"And that would be?" Robin asked politely.
"What is your actual relationship with those four young men?" Ozpin asked.
This made Robin slightly falter, and then a smile appeared on her face, "They are my friends and my family and they are people that would do anything for those that they care about, but I did not in fact know that they were here" she said.
Ozpin looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "Really?" he said.
Robin looked him in the eyes and could see he was determined to get an answer, so she sighed and gave one, "I did somewhat know that Zoro would be here" she said.
"And what of your specific relationship with Mr Roronoa?" Glynda asked.
Robin looked to her with an indifferent look, "He and I are not one's for displaying our emotions" she said.
"But, what about the amount of time you have been spending with the student?" Ozpin asked.
"Well, it's complicated" Robin started to say, "He's somebody I know I can rely on, as with all of them, but Zoro is somebody I know who will literally throw everything he knows aside to deter an event, if he knows that the outcome of said event will bring him shame".
She then eyed the other teachers, "Zoro is somebody I have developed feelings for, but he and I both have not exactly spent our lives looking for something like that, the time we spend together is just simply sitting and enjoying the peace, we don't really express ourselves because that is not who either of us are" she elaborated.
"But he is still a student" Glynda stated.
"One that I do not teach, and One that by the time it will be time for me to teach my contract will be up" Robin stated.
Ozpin then looked Robin in the eye as he held up a hand signalling Glynda to silence, "What do you know about devil fruits?" he asked her.
This made Robin's eyes widen, "How do you know about those?" she asked.
Glynda then eyed her, "We know they are a myth, a legend, but we have reason to believe those young men have some in their possession and have given some of them to specific students" she said.
"Well" Robin started to say as she watched the two other teacher's eyes focus directly on her, "Some of them were gifts and some of them were jobs" she said.
"Jobs?" Glynda and Ozpin both asked.
Robin let a small smile appear on her lips, "We had friends who had certain devil fruits and they left said devil fruits to the guys, to ensure that somewhat of a legacy can be carried on" she stated.
"What kind of legacy?" Ozpin inquired.
"We knew strong people, whose skills were exceptional and if those legacies were to be left to waste, none of them would be able to stand for it" Robin answered.
Robin then looked at both Glynda and Ozpin, "How do you know of them having the devil fruits?" she inquired.
Glynda and Ozpin both looked to each other and then back to Robin, "Your friends aren't exactly discreet when it comes to doing things" Ozpin clarified.
"Haha" Robin chuckled.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised" she said, "But that can't be the only reason" she stated as she focused her attention on the two members of the staff.
"We overheard a certain student making claims to his teammates" Glynda stated.
Robin then raised an eyebrow, "And since I'm guessing you probably won't be telling me said student's name, may I ask why you would even believe such a thing?".
"Disregarding your recent acknowledgement of the truth" Ozpin started to say, "We didn't exactly choose to believe said student, but we still decided to keep an eye and an ear out".
Robin's eyes than slightly widened, "What were the student's claims?" she demanded upon coming to a realisation.
"That your friends not only had mythical items that nearly nobody has even heard of, but that they also have extremely powerful ones at that" Glynda explained.
Robin then stood up, "If you excuse me" she said slightly bowing, "I have to go and check something immediately.
Ozpin then stood up and walked up to her, "We are coming with you" he said.
"Okay" Robin begrudgingly accepted, and she started to quickly walk off, followed closely by both Glynda and Ozpin, ("Someone better be at the guy's dorm, because I've got a bad feeling about this") she thought to herself as they all made their way there.
(Outside the dormitory's)
Sanji sat on the bench that was heavily shaded from the sun and he had a sullen look on his face, and the fact that the dog had followed him didn't exactly alleviate the situation.
Fluffy gave Sanji a look that had the themes of hunger and compassion, "What the hell" Sanji muttered to the dog.
"I found her, I found her alive, but she's been through stuff and I wasn't able to help her" he kept muttering, "And why did she have to deal with this whole White Fang thing?".
Fluffy gestured in a way that looked like a sad shrug, and Sanji scoffed a bit.
"I can't go looking for her" he said as he put his hands behind his head, "After all she's an enigma, to the world, and to me".
And as he looked over the academy, he smirked, "I will come for you Pudding-Chan, please just give me time" he announced (but nobody besides Fluffy had heard him).
He then looked to the dog, "Were you just following me for food, or did you want to actually be compassionate, Dog?".
"Bark" Fluffy said and hopped of the bench and started to chase his tail around.
"I'll take that as a 'Ehh'" Sanji said as he also got of the bench, and as he lit up another cigarette, he looked to the sky.
("What happened to you Pudding-Chan, how much did you have to suffer") he depressively thought to himself as he started to walk off.
And then he turned back to Fluffy, "Hey dog, did you want food or not" he said.
Fluffy yapped and ran after Sanji, "Let's go back up to the room, I'll get you something big, because at least you stayed, I can't believe those other guys just walked off to get food from somebody else" Sanji snarked as the two of them walked back into the dorm building, unaware of the other events that were about to occur.
(Somewhere in Mistral)
Pudding sat in the corner of the warehouse as a seething Adam Taurus barked orders at the rest of his men.
"They won't know what hit them" he barked, and then he turned to face Pudding, who remained handcuffed to the wall and in an extreme state of disarray.
"You couldn't have just killed them" he muttered.
And Pudding's head shot up to look at him, "They were stronger than me, it was smarter to complete just the main objective" she unemotionally stated.
Adam shook his head and faced her directly, "You'd better learn your place in all of this" he started to say, "We are above them, and we will take them all down, including those that think there way is the best" he stated and then he walked off.
Pudding watched as he walked off, and as soon as he left, she closed her eyes, relaxed her mind and she appeared in a blank room that contained two other versions of herself.
One of the Pudding's had a spiky pixie undercut haircut that allowed for all three of her eyes to be visible, (but only the forehead eye was open), and allowed for her face to be fully displayed, and the other pudding had her hair in a ponytail, but she was missing her bangs, so her face was fully on display as well, but her forehead eye remained closed and her two normal eyes were open.
"So what now!" the pixie-haired one asked.
Normal Pudding looked to her in sadness, "I don't know" she muttered.
'Punch'
The pixie-haired one had thrown a jab straight into regular Pudding's mouth, sending her crashing to the floor.
The ponytail one watched on in quietness and interest, "SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THAT!" the pixie-haired one yelled into Pudding's face as she started to stand back up.
Tears then started to form in each of Pudding's eyes, "WHAT THEN?" she cried.
The ponytail one also looked to the pixie-haired one, hoping for an interesting answer.
"We're going to," the pixie-haired one started to say as she looked to the both of them, "SEE THIS SHIT THROUGH TO THE END, AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO GO AFTER OUR MAN" she yelled.
Pudding looked to her as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "But what about what we did to him, and what about that other thing" she said sniffling.
The ponytail one looked to the both of them and nodded in agreement with Pudding's answer.
"It doesn't matter" the pixie-haired one mumbled, "because it just mean either way, we've got something more to live for now, and we can't waste it" she then stated.
The three of them all looked at each other, nodded, and then Pudding closed her eyes, and reopened them to the reality of the situation.
She looked throughout the warehouse and allowed herself one thought, ("These guys think they can take on Sanji-san and his friends, then they've got another thing coming").
(Somewhere in Beacon)
Zoro, Luffy and Chopper were walking through the academy grounds, (well Zoro was currently tied onto Chopper's back, as said reindeer walked in heavy point).
"That was filling, but I'm still hungry" Luffy whined.
And both Zoro and Chopper turned to looked at him with anger, "You ate nearly everything that they had, they literally kicked us out" they both shouted at their captain.
Luffy patted his stomach and laughed, "SHISHISHI, I totally forgot about that" he said.
"Seriously…" both Chopper and Zoro mumbled as the three of them made their way back to the building that held their dorm.
'Sniff'
Chopper then started to sniff at the air around the bench that was outside, "I think Sanji and Fluffy were out here before" he remarked.
"I guess Curly-Brow decided against moping around for the rest of his life" Zoro snarked.
And Luffy smiled, "Let's go check on him" he yelled before grabbing them and rocketing them into the hallway of the ground floor of the building.
'Crash'
They crashed into a wall, and after about a second both Zoro (who thanks to the crash had been released)and Chopper stood up and started to strangle Luffy, "We could've just walked!" they both shouted into his face.
Luffy then furrowed his brow and crossed his arms, "Sorry" he meagrely muttered.
Zoro and Chopper then sighed, and Chopper then grabbed both the Swordsman and the Captain, which made said swordsman look to him in annoyance, "What are you doing?" Zoro barked.
Chopper's face dropped as he started to ascend the staircase carrying Luffy and Zoro under his arms, "Luffy's an idiot and the world doesn't like you getting to where you need to be" he replied.
Zoro then looked over to see a smiling Luffy, "What's with you?" he asked.
Luffy then absentmindedly shook his head, "Nothing, it's just funny" he said.
Zoro then hmphed and crossed his arms as his reindeer teammate carried them up the stairs to the hallway that held their dorm, but to each of their surprise the hallway was covered with small flames, the door to their room had been burst open and they could see Jaune (whose arms were emitting embers) brawling with Cardin in the middle of the hallway.
"Well this is a predicament" Chopper muttered as he dropped Luffy and Zoro.
"I have a bad feeling about this" Zoro remarked as he looked closer at the two guys who were facing each other with a steely look of determination.
"Is that Sanji?" Luffy said, which made Chopper and Zoro look past the two quarrelling students to see a familiar looking blonde haired man at the opposite end of the hallway, and said man was standing in front of some of the obviously shaken members of Team RWBY (Ruby and Yang), JNPR (Pyrrha), CRDL (All of the assholes), and a very ticked off looking Fluffy.
"This is not good" Zoro remarked as he started to place his bandanna around his head.
Chopper then looked to him in confusion, "You're not going to join in, are you?".
And then Luffy placed his hat on his head and stood alongside Zoro, "Don't worry, we're just going to ask a couple of questions" he replied with a dark look as he focused on the embers that Jaune was producing.
"Why do I get the feeling that what you say isn't what you're going to do" Chopper muttered as he started to walk up alongside two of his teammates, to Cardin And Jaune, who were currently barrelling at each other and throwing punches at each other, ("Definitely certain") Chopper thought as the started to get closer to the young men.
(Somewhere else in the academy)
Robin was briskly jogging towards the guy's dorm, and behind her were both Ozpin and Glynda who were having a little trouble keeping pace with the archaeologist.
"What is the rush Miss Nico" Ozpin asked as they continued their trek.
Robin glanced back at the both of them and then put her head forward again, intending to get to a certain place quickly, "The thing is, I have a guess at who the student that talked is, and I also get the feeling that since I had seen that none of the guys were in their rooms a while ago, I could only surmise either something is going to happen, or it is happening, but I could be wrong" she finished stating with a shrug.
"And how did you see that the students were not currently in their room" Glynda inquired as they briskly turned a corner and narrowly missed running into a large group of students.
An eye then appeared and disappeared on Glynda's hand, and she looked to Robin shock, "What was that!" she exclaimed.
"That is my ability" Robin proudly said as they got closer to the dorms, "I occasionally check on my friends, and that's how I knew that none of them were there".
"But what about the urgency to which we are currently running in" Ozpin asked.
Robin slightly shrugged at this, "It's better to be safe than sorry" she stated.
The three of them arrived at the dorms just in time to see most of the windows of the dorms shatter from an unseen force (that also pushed down on the three of them), And Robin in a out of character regard, expressed two words, "Oh, Crap".
This made Glynda and Ozpin (who were slightly huffing from having to run such a distance in such a short amount of time) look to her with confusion.
"What did that?" Glynda said (with a slight look of annoyance on her face).
"Luffy's pissed" Robin uncharacteristically stated.
And this caused Glynda and Ozpin to give her questioning looks, "Well what are we doing out here, we need to get in there and figure out what's going on" Glynda said.
But before she could move, her body was halted by a couple of arms that sprouted from her back and grabbed onto the ground.
Robin turned to face her, "We need to be careful about this".
"And why would that be" Ozpin said as he walked up to stand next to her.
"Because whatever has caused that, is either somebody who is really dangerous or really stupid and we can't risk anything happening to any other students that are in the building" Robin replied as she made her arms restraining Glynda vanish.
"So what do we do" Glynda asked.
And Robin shrugged in response to this, and started to walk into the building, "We calmly do this, and be prepared for anything" she quietly said.
The two other members of the staff hesitantly nodded in agreement with her (Glynda more so than Ozpin) and they followed behind her, unsure of what hey were about to see.
(Back inside the dorm building)
Luffy was holding both Jaune and Cardin up by the collar of their shirts, and he was giving them a look of pure anger.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO" Luffy screamed into their faces.
Cardin gained an aggravated look on his face, "Shut up you freak" he said.
And Luffy then threw him to the ground, while still holding Jaune up, and the young man then looked down at Luffy, "I'm sorry" he muttered.
Luffy (although seething with anger) placed Jaune onto the ground, and crossed his arms, "Before I throw you two through the wall, you'd better be able to explain why my door is blown open and you have flames coming out of you" he then stated, looking to both Cardin and Jaune with an air of superiority.
Jaune's hand then caught aflame, but he quickly patted it out and looked at Luffy guiltily, "Here's what happened..", he (and a very frightened Cardin) muttered.
(A certain amount of time prior)
Jaune had been walking back to his dorm alongside Pyrrha when they noticed that Dove Bronzewing was standing next to the door of the dorm that belonged to team MCSZ, "That's probably not good" Jaune muttered.
Pyrrha then eyed Dove suspiciously as the walked past him, "Something is going on, I can tell the team isn't here" she then whispered to Jaune.
"We can't really do anything" Jaune silently muttered as they made their past the door and around the corner of the hallway.
Pyrrha then stopped walking and glared at Jaune, "Stop it okay, that crap is over, and we can't let Team CRDL think that they can go around and do whatever that they please" she quietly stated to him.
Jaune hung his head and glanced at Dove (who was starting to get suspicious at the two's actions, "What do we do?" he then said to Pyrrha.
Pyrrha quickly glanced to Dove and then back to Jaune, "Those guys have some pretty powerful stuff in their room, and if we let this slide something bad could happen, so I'm going to go and distract Dove, and you're going to smash through the door and stop whatever it is that the rest of his team is probably doing" she stated.
"But," Jaune started to say, "Can't I distract him and you rush into the room" he said.
Pyrrha gave him a harrowing glance, "What is it now that's stopping you, I thought you got over your problems with that team".
Jaune's head dipped lower, "I still don't want to risk anything" he muttered.
And this made Pyrrha grab him and make him stand up straight, "Something bad could happen, Team MCSZ is a bit to carefree with leaving items with that kind of power laying around, and if word were to spread about them, then who knows what could happen".
"But we don't even know that team, that well" Jaune said defensively.
Pyrrha shook her head in response to this, "Doesn't matter, it's what is right, and that is all that matters" she stated.
Jaune looked to her with guilt, and then shook his head, "Fine" he said, "How exactly are we going to go about this?".
The two of them then crouched down and started to mutter among themselves (while occasionally glancing around the corner, and making sure that Dove was not aware).
"Ready" Pyrrha said.
"Yep" Jaune answered with a nod.
"Then let's do this" Pyrrha stated as she stood up and started to walk over to Dove.
(Meanwhile, in the room, in this flashback)
'Slash'
Russel currently held the double Kitetsu blade in his hand and it looked like he was haphazardly swinging it around, cutting numerous parts of Team MCSZ's room up.
"Watch out man, you could've cut me" Cardin called out as he dodged out of the way.
"I'm not doing it on purpose, I tried grabbing that double ended sword and now I can't let go of it, and it keeps trying to make me cut stuff up" Russel cried out.
As Sky and Cardin kept jumping out of the way of Russel, they kept glancing at the shelf that held the devil fruits, "I want the fire one" Cardin stated.
But this made the two teammates who were present cry out, "As if, I want that one" Sky and Russel demanded.
'Slash'
Russel then cut the shelves holding the devil fruits, causing them all to tumble to the floor.
"Oops" he said.
"You really couldn't have left the sword alone" Cardin snarked.
Russel attempted to shrug in response to this, "It looked cool, and I figured since we were stealing stuff from them, I might as well take this cool looking weapon, I've heard that the swords that this guy owns are worth quite a lot" he said.
"Where'd you hear that?" Sky barked as rolled out of the way.
"I heard it from that Schnee chick" Russel stated, as he tried to pull the sword in a different direction.
Cardin then gained an annoyed look, "We could've been able to cover up taking the powers of these things, but there is no way that we can take their weapons, so put it back" he barked at Russel.
Russel then gave him a distressed look, "My hands are really starting to hurt, and I can't let go of the sword" he whined.
Sky and Cardin then looked to Cardin, and they both saw a horrifying sight; his veins were starting to bulge and his veins were becoming blackened.
"Let go of the sword" Cardin demanded.
But Sky put his hand in front of Cardin, "I don't think he can" he said as he looked to his teammate with fear and hesitance.
"DO SOMETHING" Russel shouted as he his arms started to become a deeper shade of black.
Cardin then looked to the both of his teammates with hesitance, and then he huffed, "I'm taking that god damn fire fruit, you idiots are on your own" he stated.
And then he walked over to the Mera-Mera no mi, which was next to the wall, he reached down to pick it up, but before he could grab it, he heard a commotion coming from outside the room, and within a second, everything went to hell.
Firstly, Cardin heard Dove shouting and running away, to which made Cardin very annoyed.
Secondly, he heard a chiming sound coming from the other side of the door.
And then Finally, Jaune Arc came crashing through the door, covered in aura, with a look of determination on his face as he came face to face with Cardin.
"Put down the fruit" Jaune demanded as he looked to the other student.
And after about a second had passed, the three members of Team CRDL who were present (even Russel who was starting to screech in pain) all chuckled simultaneously.
"What makes you think that I would do that?" Cardin said, smirking as he looked down at Jaune (both physically and metaphorically).
Jaune then started to shine again, "It's not yours, so put it down" he demanded, and then he started to run at Cardin and tackled him to the ground, "Let go of it" he cried out.
Sky was about to join in with the tussle, but before he could he felt a searing pain coming from the left side of his body, and this made him turn to see that his left arm had been cut off, just below the shoulder, "WHAAAA".
Russel looked to him with the slightest hint of guilt and a large amount of pain present on his face, "I can't help it, I'm starting to lose the ability to see, what's happening?" he cried out.
Jaune and Cardin continued to throw fists at each other as they tussled on the floor of the room, "What makes you think you can do this" Jaune asked.
"Because," Cardin said as he punched Jaune directly in the gut (but not breaking his aura), "You heard the amount of power one of these can give, why don't I deserve that".
This made Jaune gain an annoyed expression, "Shut up" he said as he threw a fist directly it to Cardin's face sending the young man down.
Cardin then reacted by rolling out of the way of another punch, and he then saw something that he knew could help him, he then bolted towards the Mera-Mera no mi, intending to make Jaune pay for almost running his plan.
And as Cardin just reached the fruit, Jaune jumped onto him and also grabbed the fruit at the same time, "It's not yours, that guy obviously cares about it, if it's the only one he doesn't want eaten, so what makes you think you're so special" he demanded from Cardin.
Cardin smirked in response to this and inched closer to the fruit, "Because I am" he replied.
The next couple of seconds then became a blur, Sky's aura was trying to heal his stump (with varying results, all of Russel's sin was starting to blacken and the student kept crying out as a result, Jaune tried to pull Cardin away from the fruit, but to no avail.
Jaune then got an idea, ("I'm sorry") he thought as he pictured Luffy, ("But there's only one way I could probably stop this guy from doing this").
And Jaune threw his body forward, intending for his head to hit the fruit, "Stop" Cardin cried out as he noticed what Jaune was doing, "It's mine".
"No, it's, not" Jaune replied as his head neared the fruit, he then opened his mouth and bit down on the fruit, instantly swallowing the piece he bit off.
After a couple of seconds had passed, Jaune tied to stand to get a grasp on the situation, but before he could, he heard somebody seething and he turned to see a pissed off Cardin (he had managed to stand up and was looking down at Jaune with pure spite).
'Punch'
Cardin sent a fist straight into Jaune's head, discombobulating the young man and almost instantly shattering his aura, "That was mine" he arrogantly stated.
And then he grabbed Jaune by the neck and lifted him up to face level, "You're gonna pay for that" Cardin said.
Jaune struggled to look at him, while also at the same time, he glanced to Cardin's teammates, who were both in states of unconsciousness on the ground in front of the doorway.
"Your… Your.. team…" Jaune said as he gasped for air.
"What about them?" Cardin said as he lifted Jaune up a bit more.
"I could've had a power that nobody else could have, but you got in the way" Cardin said as he let one of his hands free from Jaune's neck (while still keeping him suspended, which honestly looked impressive, if it wasn't downright scary) and pulled it back into a fist.
"And now you're gonna pay" Cardin stated as he then threw the fist, aiming it directly for Jaune's head.
But just as this happened, the door to the dorm was opened and standing on the other side of it, were Ruby, Yang and Pyrrha.
"Jaune.." Pyrrha cried out as she looked to her team leader (who was quite bruised).
"What the hell happened to them" Yang said as she looked down at the incapacitated forms of Sky and Russel (and unejected hilt of the Kitetsu twin sword).
Jaune's eyes then widened as he looked to the three girls and looked back at Cardin, "NOOO" he shouted and flames started to expel from his body and circulate around the room.
He then unleashed a godly scream and the flames combusted, sending him and Cardin flying directly towards the door, but just before they came into contact with either the three girls or the two unconscious members of Team CRDL, a black blur with a fuzzy black thing on it's back, dashed into the room and grabbed the five of them and then dashed out, but it wasn't fast enough to dodge all of the flames and just before it could get back into the hallway it was hit by the flames and sent flying down the hallway, carrying the five others.
(Present time)
Jaune looked to Luffy, Zoro and Chopper guiltily as he and Cardin (who had peed himself out of fear of Zoro and Luffy's expressions) finished recounting what had happened.
"Well that was enlightening" a voice from behind Zoro, Luffy and Chopper stated, which made everybody (who was semiconscious) turn to see its origin.
And Professor Ozpin could be seen, alongside Robin and Glynda standing about a metre or two behind the three guys, all of them (bar Ozpin) having looks of anger on their faces.\
But just as the three teachers started to make their way up to the boys, Luffy turned back around, placed his hand on Jaune's shoulder, whispered something into his ear, and punched him in the gut sending him to the ground, unconscious.
Ozpin and Glynda stopped and gained confused looks just as this occurred, "Why did you do that" Glynda said.
Luffy turned to her and gave her a look, "Did you want him to set the whole building on fire?" he stated.
Glynda was about to react to this statement, but Ozpin placed his hand on her shoulder and walked past her, "You could've least done it in a bit more respectable way" he stated.
Luffy then hung his head, his eyes being shadowed by his hat, "Yeah, but that's not how life works" Sanji said as he walked up to join his team, while also kicking Cardin (who had gone into a catatonic state) in the side.
But before either Ozpin or Glynda could respond to this (Robin just watched on in indifference) Zoro turned and walked over to the unconscious bodies of Sky and Russel.
"He's gonna die" Zoro stated as he looked down at the pathetic human being that lay before him.
This made Ozpin and Glynda rush up to him, "Why would you say that….." the two of tried asking before they saw a horrific sight, which had also made Ruby, Yang and Pyrrha quiet.
Russel's arms were writing, they were completely blackened and black wisps were coming off of them.
"Oh my god" Ruby distressed as she cowered behind Yang.
Ozpin bent down and looked at Russel's arms, before standing back up and crossing his arms, "His aura is not healing him, he's gonna die" he stated.
Chopper then ran up past him, and started to examine Russel's arms, "It's like they are necrotic, but at the same time still alive, nothing can stop this, this is not a disease" he stated as he waringly stepped back from the body.
"It's a curse" Zoro said as he came walking up, carrying the cursed hilt in his hand, "And there is only one way to cure it".
"And what would that be" Pyrrha, Yang, Ruby, Glynda and Ozpin all asked.
"The blade needs to claim it's price" Zoro stated as he activated both ends of the sword, while holding it in his right hand.
"But why aren't you affected by it" Yang shakily asked as she looked at him.
"As if I would be weak enough to be affected by it's curse, like this moron" he exclaimed.
"And what about him" Glynda shakily asked as she looked to Sky, or more specifically his stump, which was still leaking blood.
Chopper then walked over to Sky, shifted to heavy point, got a specific set of dust out of his back pack, put them into his gloves, shifted back to brain point, and put his hands to the stump.
A blinding light then expelled from where the wound was, and about a second later, the stump was fully healed and Sky was breathing perfectly again, "What about him?" Chopper dryly replied as he walked back and sat down next to the standing Robin.
After about a second of looking at the amazement of Chopper's skills, everybody turned back to the body of Russel, who was continually writhing, and had screams that would occasionally escape his lips.
Ozpin put his hands to his temples, looked to Glynda and gave her an empathetic look, and then looked to Zoro, "Save him" he muttered.
Zoro then started to spin the dual-bladed sword in his hand, "The curse cannot be taken, it cannot be given, one must pay and one must give, time is everything and it is nothing" he said.
And then he squeezed the hilt of the sword, the two blades retracted, and at the same moment, the both of Russel's arms were sliced off at the shoulders, "The price has been paid in full" Zoro said as he glanced back to Chopper and gave him a nod.
Chopper then ran back up to where the three members of Team CRDL were located, did exactly the same action from before for Russel and then ran back, sat on the floor and leaned against Robin again.
Ozpin eyed the three unconsciousness bodies that were in front of him, "And what about him" he said gesturing to the prone body of Dove.
"He's just unconscious" Pyrrha starkly replied as she walked past everybody and up to the unconscious form of Jaune.
She then sat down, propped him up and hugged him, "This is quite the problem" Ozpin stated as he looked to everybody that was present for the event.
But before he could finish, Zoro, Chopper, Sanji, Fluffy, Robin and Luffy all walked into the guy's dorm, and this made everybody (who was conscious and not Pyrrha) walk up to and peer inside their room.
The room was charred, a majority of the items in it, had either been slashed, burnt, or both, and while everybody looked to the devil fruits, which remained on the floor, the remaining members of the Straw Hats had gone to check on some other items that they had.
Luffy was assessing Garp's coat, he was brushing the soot off of the shoulders and patting it to remove some of the dust.
Zoro had taken down Yoru to clean it.
And as had Sanji, in regards to Kikoku (at Chopper's behest).
Chopper instead was cleaning the tone dial, while Fluffy leaned next to him and looked on in sadness.
And Robin was assessing the damage to the portrait.
The four others then entered the room, Yang and Ruby walked over and leaned against a wall, and Ozpin and Glynda walked up to the other six, "This is quite the collection" Ozpin stated.
"Yeah, well, we did have people we cared about" Sanji said as he lit another cigarette, placed Kikoku back on the wall and sat down.
"I'm sorry to say, but I will need to confiscate these items" Glynda stated as she sternly looked to the six of them, and glanced to the devil fruits.
This made everybody turn to her with a darkened expression (and well, Fluffy growled).
"No" they all said.
Glynda then looked to Robin, "I don't really think you can say anything about this" she said.
But Robin just gave her a cold look, "These were given as gifts and keepsakes, if they were given to you, you would just turn them into weapons" she declared.
Glynda looked at her shocked, but before she could respond, Ozpin spoke up, "Then what would you suppose we do?" he inquired
"And what about the damage that was caused" Glynda added on.
Luffy was the first to respond, "That wasn't our fault, how were we supposed to know that somebody would try to break into our room, and try to steal our stuff".
"Then what about the injured students" Glynda shouted, "This is not something that can be just swept up under the rug, one has lost an arm, and one has lost both".
Zoro glared at her, "For all anybody knows, they broke into our room, started to fight with each other, and then started to turn on each other".
"You really think we could get away with that" Ozpin said as peered over his glasses.
"You say that like those guys are innocent, they chose to do it, and they paid the price" Chopper said as he leaned against Fluffy.
Ruby then walked forward, "Why did you leave the sword here, if it's so dangerous, or any of the items you have?" she asked.
"We weren't really expecting somebody to try and break into our room, who goes here, that's pretty low" all members of Team MCSZ stated.
Ozpin then glanced to each of them, "You four are dangerous, I won't deny that, but at the same time, it was not your fault this happened, but I do have to ask one question" he said.
"What's that?" Luffy asked as he also plopped himself on the ground next to Sanji.
"Would you have acted in that same way to Jaune and Cardin, if any of those other devil fruits had been stolen?" he asked.
Luffy's eyes darkened, and then he shook his head and looked up at the headmaster, "That fruit belonged to both my brothers, it is was left to me by them" he replied.
Ozpin nodded in response to this, and then he started to walk out, but before he left, he quickly turned around to face everybody, "I will be discussing with all of you individually about certain matters, is that understood" he sternly said as he looked to Team MCSZ.
The four guys all nodded to various levels of caring, and with that Ozpin and a very irate Glynda ("IS THAT IT!" she shouted) left the building (with the prone bodies of Cardin, Sky, Russel and Dove floating behind them).
Luffy then stood up and walked out of the room towards Pyrrha, who was trying to move Jaune back into their dorm.
"Need some help" Luffy said as he looked to her.
Pyrrha shakingly looked at him, "I heard everything that was said, we didn't mean for this to happen, but after what you said those things could do, we had to stop them" she said.
Luffy nodded at her, with his almost always ever-present grin returning to his face, "And I didn't mean to hurt your friend, but some things had to be done" he said.
Pyrrha nodded at him, and Luffy hoisted Jaune onto his shoulder and gestured for her to lead the way to their dorm.
The others watched from the doorway of the guys dorm, and they all looked on as Luffy helped Pyrrha, "Did he have to hit Jaune so hard?" Ruby asked as she looked to the others.
Yang then looked to the others, "Who are you people, really?" she asked as she eyed them, and then she looked to Robin, "And aren't you a teacher, why didn't you leave with the others?".
Robin then smiled and wrapped her arms around Zoro's right one, "I'm here with the people I care about" she chimed.
'Bang'
They all then turned around to see Sanji hitting the floor with his hand as Fluffy lay next to him, yapping, "It's not fair, why does the Mosshead get my dear Robin" he sobbed.
Zoro rolled his eyes, Robin giggled, and Chopper sighed in response to this.
Ruby's eyes then widened, "Wait, you guys aren't together, are you?" she spluttered.
Yang then looked at Zoro and Robin, "Of course they can't, it's a teacher and a student, that would just be unethical".
Robin then smiled at this, turned to face Zoro and pecked his lips and looked to the two girls, "Is that enough clarification?" she stated.
And then she let go of Zoro's arm and started to walk off, "I've still got a job to do, so I'll see you guys later" she said as she walked off and waved.
Chopper then looked up at Zoro (who was extremely flustered), "Seriously, how?" he muttered as he glanced to the swordsman, and then the sobbing cook.
Zoro then crossed his arms, "It's nothing" he replied.
Chopper was then about to respond to this, but Ruby put her hand up, "Did you want to ask something?" he asked turning to look at her.
"The rest of my team has devil fruits, Weiss and Blake have currently gone off to train theirs, I was wondering if I could ask for one" she quietly muttered.
Zoro shrugged in response to this, "Terrific timing" he snarked.
Yang then eyed him, "Well like there would be a better time" she joked.
And before anybody else could make a comment on the timing of Ruby's question, she walked past them, crouched down to the sobbing Sanji and hugged him.
"WHAAAA" Zoro, Chopper and Yang all expressed.
Sanji suddenly stopped sobbing, and looked up at Ruby, but before he could say something he noticed Yang glaring at him, so he decided to say something else.
"Why are you hugging me, Miss Ruby?" he asked.
"I want to say thank you, for protecting us from the fire, and there are two questions I would like to ask you?" she stated.
Sanji's mind started to race, but then it was brought to a halt by a judgmental Yang hitting her fist into her hand, in the background, "And that would be what, Miss?" he inquired.
"What is it that the glare-glare fruit does?" she asked.
In response to this, Sanji sat up and looked at her, "It allows you to be able to see through anything and everything, you can read other's minds, be able to scan vast distances of land, share your memories, and you can use anything that your eye's produce as a weapon, but I don't really know how that last part works" he stated.
"So it can allow me to watch out for my team?" she asked, to which Sanji hesitantly nodded.
"Then may I have that one?" she asked.
Sanji then bolted straight up, and ran over to the Glare-Glare fruit (which had rolled halfway under Garp's coat), he then picked it up and handed it to her.
"Wait a minute" Yang called out, before Ruby could bite the fruit, "Don't you want an awesome one, not to be rude, but that one does sound kinda lame" she retorted.
Ruby then smiled at her sister, "I want to be able to watch out for my team, and I will admit I did think about eating one of the other ones, I did want to know what the less cool one does, and know I know, I know that I want it" she stated.
Yang then shrugged in response to this, "Fine, whatever, but imagine how 'cool' you could have been with eating the snow fruit" she said.
Ruby then jokingly shook her head at her sister, turned around, grabbed the fruit from Sanji and bit down on it, and swallowed quite a large chunk, "Blegh".
"Doesn't taste good, does it" Yang said with a smirk.
Ruby nodded at her, "Yep" she replied, and then she looked to Sanji, "There was also the second thing I wanted to ask you" she said.
"Yes?" Sanji replied.
"I know that your speed didn't come from your semblance, so would you be willing to teach me how to be as fast as you?" she asked.
Sanji's eyes twitched as his mind fought itself over training a lady in a skill, "GGGRGGRHHRGRH" he mumbled as he slumped to the floor.
Ruby looked at Sanji in confusion, "Are you alright?".
"GRGRGRGGRHGRGRHHGRH" Sanji mumbled.
Zoro and Chopper walked up alongside her and looked down at their teammate, "Seems that the idiot cook is trying to decide how to answer that question?" Zoro sarcastically stated as he held his hand to his chin.
"So what does that mean?" Yang then asked, to which Zoro and Chopper shrugged and looked back down at their teammate (who was being licked by Fluffy, in the hopes that his source of food would soon be coherent).
"He'll get back to" Luffy called out from behind them.
Everybody turned to see Luffy walk into the room, with his head held high and a bright smile on his face, "Will that be fine?" he asked Ruby and Yang.
"Sure" Ruby answered as she looked down.
Yang then glanced around the room, "Did you guys want help cleaning up?" she propositioned.
Luffy then nodded in response to this, "Sure" he said as walked over to the remains of the hammocks, "I think we might need to change our beds" he then said.
The others walked up behind him and also looked down at the slashed and burnt remains of the hammocks, "Then let's go shopping" Ruby yelled as she started to walk off.
And everybody soon followed behind her, but before they left, she quickly turned to look at Sanji, who was mumbling an incoherent mess, "Will it be okay to leave him here alone?" she asked.
Zoro, Chopper and Luffy all laughed at this, "He's fine, he has a lot worse stuff to deal with, by the time we get back he'd probably already cooked dinner and tried to clean up a bit" Chopper stated as they left the room.
"And what about your door?" Yang asked as she looked to the frame and then the splinters which were spread out among the hallway (which had also stopped being on fire, and somehow already been fixed up, and I will never address how this was accomplished XD).
"It'll be fine" the three guys all nonchalantly expressed as they walked off.
"If you say so" Ruby hesitantly replied.
"I think they've got it sorted Ruby" Yang said as she jokingly elbowed her sister, "I mean after what just happened, what idiot would be game enough to mess with those guys".
They all then disappeared down the hallway and out of the sight of Fluffy, who had been peeking around the doorframe, and who immediately walked back into the room, looked at the incoherent Sanji, sighed and walked into the bathroom to have his afternoon drink.
Somethings in this chapter I just couldn't get written right, so if some parts of this chapter are a bit bad, I do apologise for that.
But anyway, let's address what has happened, yes; team CRDL will be coming back, they are not gone. Sanji has had another breakdown, but this time it's comical. And Pudding is planning something, but who knows what that will be.
So there's the second part done, the next chapter will probably come out in a week or two, maybe three, but who knows.
Comments and constructive criticism are always welcomed,
And that's all, Peace Out!
