AN: Hey there my dear readers! If you have read up to this chapter, I must congratulate you for suffering my boring writing skills and my sheer lack of focus!
Team's RWBY, JNPR,GRAE, PYRO, The Seven Deadly Sins, Ten Commandments, and other characters: You really are lazy aren't you?
AN: I'm sorry! Anyways, I am being strong armed into posting this chapter as to show I am still continuing it, still on every seventh day of the month, except July, which I will hold Q+A with Teams GRAE, PYRO, and other OC's! So if you have questions for them, PM me with the message titled For July Q+A! Anyways this chapter will cover Escanor's Class and the next will cover a trip/mission for Teams RWBY, JNPR, GRAE, PYRO, and CRDL; to a settlement with a few giants, as part of their class assignment in TAC, as well as a flashback for Ruby, Yang, Glyff, Amy, Runea, and Yin in The Fairy King's Forest in the beginning of this chapter. Also expect Rodents of Unusual Size to appear at the end.
Six Years ago, somewhere in The Eternal Forest (Renamed due to Giants and Fairies living within together within the Fairy King's Forest)
"Thanks for taking care of the kids while me and Tai head off for a hunt Lady Diane." a scruffy looking man with red eyes said to Diane, as she replied with a smile "It's not a problem at all, Qrow. Plus I get to hang out with the grand kids." and looks over at Runea and Yang wrestling about as Ruby and Amy cheer them on, with Glyff standing behind the two girls. "Well I'm off. Tell King I wish you both well." and turned into a bird and left, not that the children saw him.
"Alright everyone! Who wants to go hunting for food?!" Diane asks the children happily, though Yang is missing, to which she asks "Wait, where's Yang?" with Ruby answering "She wanted to explore a bit the forest and left a little while ago." though notice Diane's face of shock and fear, who is afraid of being such a bad babysitter for her grand kids the first time.
Meanwhile in another part of the forest, Yang is walking around before noticing a large mushroom hopping about and due to still being a bit reckless, decided to fight it. However, this mushroom was a Valorin Matango, similar to the Chicken Matango, but instead of shrinking people, it's spores severely slowed you, which it released after being punched by Yang, who felt incredibly weakened, as the mushroom hopped away.
Add to that a few wolves were following Yang, hunting her, it gave them the perfect oppurtunity to pounce on the weakened girl. However, before they did, a young boy flew down in between her and them, though the wolves high tailed it, seeing he had wings and knew he was a fairy. "You lost little girl?" the fairy asked her, intrigued that she was still willing to fight those wolves even after being weakened by the Valorin Matango.
"I could have taken them!" Yang replied defensively before falling on her butt as her legs gave out from her weakened state, at which the fairy chuckled at her bravado, saying "Sure you could have and I'm a giant." before going floating over to help her up, then asks "What's your name anyways?" to which Yang is about to rebuke him but decided against it since he was helping her, replying instead shyly "Yang. Yang Xiao Long." to which the Fairy nodded and replied "Nice to meet you Yang. I'm Yin."
Yin then chatted with Yang, sharing puns and jokes as well as teaching each other about their worlds. They became really good friends, which Yin considered Yang to be a close human friend like Ren and Nora, but he felt that she was much more then that. Soon they arrived at a cave with a massive Treant with a few scars standing nearby.
"That's Orchie. He knows how to counteract all sorts of flora in the forest." and motins for the giant tree man to come over, who simply bends over to look at both Yin and Yang. "Well if it isn't Yindragora, and who have you brought to my grove young one?" Orchie asked in a deep craggy voice to Yin, who replied "She punched a Valorin Matango and got spored. I remember you could counter act the spores."
"Indeed, but I doubt either of you will like it." Orchie replied as he stood back up and bent over to another tree, with Yin letting Yang sit down before then floating over to see what Orchie had meant, asking "What you mean neither of us will like it? I mean I could understand that if it tasted awful, Yang would not enjoy it, but how will I not like it?" with the older tree then shifting one of his eyes to look at Yin, replying sagely "It does taste bad, but not only that, it removes all memory for the past three hours. If you two have become friends, she will forget, and you will have to start all over. Course, same thing happened to you with a Valorin Matango when you told a horrible joke involving said creature. Course we both know what will happen if the spores are not counter acted.
Yin remembered the stories of Valorin Matango spores weakening a person's muscles and immune system to the point of being unable to leave their homes. Though it pained him to make Yang forget about her time with him, he also did not want her to suffer such a fate like that. Closing his eyes to clear his mind, he then opened them and said "Do it." which caused the old tree man to raise an eyebrow at, as he had never seen Yin so conflicted on someone before, before nodding and grabbed a potion, saying "Very well. I suggest you run along now youngling."
Later on, Yang awoke after taking the horrible tasting medicine had given her, she saw her family gathered around her with Diane and Orchie talking, and asked "Where are we?" to which Amy answered "Mr Orchie's Clinic. You have been missing for the past three hours, which had Diane worried about you. Orchie said someone brought you to his clinic. Do you remember anything?" at which all Yang could remember was telling her family that she was gonna go exploring after losing to Runea, punching a giant hopping mushroom, getting saved from a bunch of wolves, and meeting some guy calling himself Yin.
"Not really." Yang said as she struggled to remember the face of the guy that saved her from the wolves, feeling that she should remember this Yin guy's face and who he was. Her family did not press the issue. The next few days past but still she struggled to remember this guy's face, only remembering that he was a fairy and had a similar sense of humor as her.
Two days after the incident at the docks, Teams RWBY, JNPR, and GRAE were learning the different laws of the various kingdoms and clans in Escanor's class. Though he was scrawny, everyone that has come from Brittania knew better then to agitate the professor. "Now I wish to ask you all a question? If you see enforcers of the law, that is to say, police, harassing a faunas for suspected White Fang ties, what do you do?" Escanor stuttered out, drawing Blake's attention somewhat even more. Though a few of the Class (Such as CRDL) said to let the officers do their jobs, Jaune asked "Do the officers have concrete evidence to tie the Faunas to the White Fang?" to which Ethan laughs and nods in agreement with the rest of Jaune's team.
Escanor answers while stuttering "No. They claimed that the faunas was acting suspiciously and the faunas claims that they were approached by the White Fang but declined in joining them." which Amy says "On one hand the Faunas is being harassed for being suspected of being part of the White Fang, but on the other, said Faunas could be lying. Quite the conundrum." which Escanor smiles kindly, answering "Very good, Amy. This is where Etiquette and Judgement come mainly into play. How could we make certain that both groups are happy?" as Glyff, letting of a few growls to answer, Ruby translating "What about convincing the Faunas to aid the police in finding the White Fang supporters? It would prove the Faunas innocence and help the police in arresting the real criminals, then additionally assist them in their pursuit of justice?" to which Escanor nods, and says "A good plan Glyff and Ruby. I think Oz made the right decision in making you two team leaders."
A few days pass then, before Hevy Metalshell announces in TAC that teams RWBY, JNPR, GRAE, PYRO, and CRDL will be traveling to a new settlement that is a conjoined effort by Brettania and Vale for Faunas, Humans, and Giants to live together, to assist in improving relations not only between kingdoms, but also different species, as well as exterminate a large Grimm presence and would be there for a full week. Due to the number of trainees being sent, Professor Escanor will accompany them as well, with Estarossa replacing him for his class, with Derriere and Hevy on this mission, as well as meeting with two people Derriere is friends with, as well as having the teams assigned to different teachers to evaluate them on leadership of the five teams.
Everyone was excited for the coming field trip but Hevy was still unsure that it was wise to bring a legendary infamous and powerful man like Escanor onto a field of battle with students, since Escanor was of danger to his allies as his enemies. Apparently Ozpin had been tipped off that not only a large number of Grimm were present but that the White Fang were trying to sabotage the settlement to instill fear against the faunas once more. Hevy had no love for those who would regress such things, but then most Holy Knights he knew chafed at change. He knows he has problems with the reformed Demon and Goddess Clans as the Fallen Clan. Still his mentor, Grandmaster Hauser, told him that a knight that follows his orders blindly is just a soldier, not a holy knight. It was interesting that the Hunters of the other kingdoms could be comparable to the Holy Knights of Brettania. Hopefully everything would go well but usually things never really went that way with Hunters and Holy Knights.
After Classes, Amy and Ruby told everyone they were going to improve Glyff's suit in the academies forges, and asked if anyone would like to join them, though none wanted to. The remaining members studied for the classes they would miss for the next week on the academies field, minding their own business. "Bhí mé ag súil gur mhaith leat teacht 'bhabhta. Raibh mé in ann a úsáid caint ann." a familiar ghastly rodent said next to Weiss, freaking out everyone present.
"Okay where did you even come from?!" Weiss asked loudly, as the rodent looks at her, causing her to shiver as it seemingly smiled, replying "Ba mhaith liom a fháil ar a fhios duine éigin cosúil leat... Agus ansin iad drown." and laid there without further comment. "Please tell me one of you two can translate that thing." Blake asked Yang and Runea, knowing the three people that could understand the Unusually Large Rodent were not present.
"We don't know what it's saying exactly but we have an idea what they mean when he was with Ruby, Amy, and Glyff." Yang explains as Runea pours it some water, to which it waddles over to the offered bowl of water, drinking it up, before finally saying "Is maith liom go bhfuil Halo os do chionn. Beidh sé teacht i úsáideach nuair strangle liom tú!" to which Runea grimaces at but replies in restraint "Your welcome you fat rodent."
AN: So crappy chapter. Hopefully it improves on January 7th. Doubt it. Please leave reviews to help improve the quality of my chapters for your reading pleasure. Till then my loyal fans.
Yin: The fact they put up with it amazes me.
Author: Shut up, bobble head.
