RWBY belongs to Monty Oum and Roosterteeth.
All OC's are mine, except for one, he is the property of The Baz. Thanks again for letting me use him dude!
{Insert We Are by Hollywood Undead}
It was a naturally sunny day in Vytal City, the center of attention setting around From Dust till Dawn. The store owner had just finished renovating the place after a certain red hooded girl and bowl hatted thief wrecked it.
As the old man descended down the latter he used for setting up the reopening banner, said latter had fallen out from underneath him, leaving the senior citizen lying on his back on the ground. Groaning, the old man blinked a few times, seeing a hand held out to him.
"Are you okay sir?" He was greeted to the sight of a dark skinned, green haired girl with red eyes. "Here, let me help you up!"
Gently pulling the man up by his arm, the girl smiled sweetly, dusting him off.
"I'm new here, so I don't know my way around." She confessed with a guilty expression.
"I was wondering if you could show me the way to get to this store?" She asked, holding up a piece of paper that had the name of a certain store on it.
The old man observed the paper for a moment, before smiling with a nod, and pointing in the direction of the store.
With that, the girl nodded, walking away and waving at the old man. Upon walking passed the side of the building, she found two of her comrades just chilling and talking with each other.
One was a male of average height, his hair being spiky black, and his face covered with a mask. He wore a black hoodie with a sadistic smiley face on the back and baggy black jeans to match. Lastly, there was a necklace that hung around his neck that bore the symbol of the White Fang. And the most distinguishing feature of the young man, was his dog ears. Yes, he was a faunus and a proud member of the White Fang.
The other male that he was talking to was slightly taller, his gray spiked up hair adding a few more inches to his height. He wore a gray and black jacket with a matching pair of slacks, topping it off with black combat boots.
"I can't believe Roman almost got killed by some kid..." The faunus boy said, a little surprise in his voice with something akin to excitement.
"I know, he wasn't much of a fighter and I didn't like him much, but damn. No body deserves what that guy had to go through." The gray haired boy agreed, his arms crossed and leaning against the brick wall of the dust shop.
"Still, he was stronger than most humans I knew, whoever did that to him..." The masked faunus gained a feral grin. "I wanna know who it was, because that person is obviously strong enough to pose a challenge to me if he could do THAT to the most wanted man in the Kingdom of Vale." He proclaimed, mentally promising himself to hunt this person down, not only for the fun of the fight, but because Neo was still down about what happened to Roman.
"Mercury. Fidelis." The green haired girl called their names as she approached them. "I know where to go now, let's go." She began to turn and walk away when Mercury started poking fun at her.
"So you admit to being lost?"
"Mercury, I will literally give you money to shut up." She held out a wallet to him, presumably the old store owner's.
"But that's not your money." He smirked at her.
"It could be YOURS for five minutes of silence!"
Fidelis suddenly took the wallet from her. "He's right, this isn't your money Emerald. And I already told you I knew the way to this place, I've been there a million times." He gave her an unamused look.
"I just wanted to be sure that was the right place!" She shot back, furious at both men ganging up on her.
Fidelis just ignored her and went to where the old man was still working on finishing up on cleaning the store. "I think you dropped this sir." He held out the wallet to the old man, who looked confused for a second, then took the wallet in gratefulness.
The trio approached a store called Tukson's book trade, walking inside with Fidelis leading.
Mercury broke away from the small group to browse through the large selection of novels and literature, while Fidelis and Emerald walked up to the desk.
The two looked at each other, before Emerald rang the bell at the desk, a voice answering the ring a few seconds later.
"I'll be out with you in a second!" A deep voice came from the back room, before a large man burst through, carrying three stacks of books in his arms.
"Welcome to Tukson's book trade. We have every book under the sun." He greeted them without looking at them, as he set the pile of books down on a nearby book cart.
"How can I help..." He trailed off, recognizing the group instantly upon seeing them. His smile disappeared and was replaced by a frown. He knew what they were here for, but he'd stall and try to make an escape.
To this, Emerald smiled at the older man, while Fidelis simply smirked and gave a small wave.
Tukson gained his smile back, having a plan mapped out in his head. "How may I help you three?"
"Just lookin." Mercury answered from the front of the store, while loudly clapping a book shut.
"Actually..." Emerald started, but was interrupted by Fidelis.
"Yeah, I would like to trade in this book for... Third Crusade!" He grinned while putting a book titled, A Cold War, on the counter.
Tukson gave the younger boy a hard stare before answering. "I'm sorry, but we don't have that one." He said a little more coldly. He knew who this kid was, he'd come to his store several times before with two black and blue haired cat faunus a year or two ago.
"Wrong answer Tukson." Fidelis grinned and moved his hand towards the giant gunbai on his back.
"You know why we're here." Emerald stated, a firm look on her face.
"And you know what the White Fang does with traitors." Fidelis told him. He hated traitors more than anything else. Especially traitors to the White Fang.
Looking down, Tukson gave a sigh before nodding. "Yes."
"So, because I like a fair fight, I'll give you the first move Tuk." Fidelis's grin grew darker.
To this, the older man growled, taking an offensive stance and letting himself go. He grew a pair of large claws on both hands, intent on fighting his way through to the door. "Fine!"
He jumped onto the counter-top, and lunging for the three. Taking a swipe at Emerald he missed, only to have Fidelis use his gunbai to give him a few more yards of extra air. And that's where Tukson met his end at the gun barreled boot heels of Mercury Black.
After the dirty work was done, the trio exited the book store, with both Mercury and Fidelis reading comic books.
"Seriously?" Emerald asked incredulously.
"What? I like the pictures!" Both males said at the same time.
Both team RWBY and DSTY sat together at lunch. Blake was seemingly reading some "notes" from class, while Darya and Yang sat on both sides of her. In reality, she was staring at pictures and information that her and Darya had taken of the White Fang over their time at Beacon, ever since the accident at the docs.
Being shaken out of her thoughts by a hand closing her notebook, she looked to her friend, who gave her a look that almost said "not here, not now". Sighing to herself and nodding, Blake put the book away just in time to be bothered by Yang.
"What were you lookin at?" She smiled while catching a grape in her mouth, flung to her by none other than Nora Valkerie, who sat with her team at another table.
"Just some school notes." She played it off as nothing.
"School notes? But class hasn't even started yet!" Skye yelled in exasperation.
"He's right, lame!" Yang chuckled as she went to catch another grape, only for Skye to cut in front of her and intercept it.
"Keep them coming!" He grinned and pointed to his mouth.
"Hey!"Yang shoved him away. "Go get your own grapes somewhere else!"
It was then when a large, white binder was dropped on the table with a loud thud, which scared Skye enough that he actually jumped into Yuki's arms.
He gave a nervous chuckle when she looked at him with an angry glare. Her hands turned icy cold, burning the boy enough to make him jump and land face first on the tile floor. "I'm okay!" He mumbled through the floor.
"Sister! Future brother-in-law!" Ruby began, getting everyone's attention with her first two claims.
"RUBY!" Both Yang and Tyson blushed furiously at her statement.
"Friends... and Weiss." She continued.
"Hey!"
"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream!" She pointed into the air.
"Oh brother..." Tyson facepalmed while Yang chuckled.
"I dreamed that one day, both teams would come together as one, and we would have the best day EVER!" She proclaimed, pumping both fists into the air.
"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss asked almost immediately.
"No that's my binder you little rat!" Skye went to reach for it, but was stopped in his tracks when he slipped on a portion of the floor that was covered in pink ice.
"Not a crook!" Ruby promised with a grin.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked in confusion.
"I'm talking about kicking our semester off with a bang!"
"Well I don't know about you guys, but I always kick my semester off with a YANG!" Yang let out a pun that she had been saving up for this exact moment.
"Remind me again, why we're together?" Tyson jokingly commented.
"Beats me." She grinned and leaned against his shoulder, until an apple flew and bopped her in the head.
"Booooo!"
"But guys, it's been a pretty busy few weeks, and with classes and the tournament coming up we won't have much time to hang out anymore." Ruby reasoned.
"Classes start tomorrow, which is why I've taken the liberty of making a schedule of things to do today!"
"I don't know whether I'm impression or worried, Ruby." Darya chuckled nervously.
Yang took the apple that was thrown at her and chucked it back at Nora, who laughed at the blonde missing.
"I think I might sit this one out guys." Blake declared, but was instantly shot down by Weiss.
"Oh no! We're doing this as a team. Besides, it might help us bond more."
Yang looked kind of worried, and so did Tyson, once he looked at what she was waving at.
Right as Weiss stood up to continue her team speech, she was nailed in the face with a pie.
Everyone in teams RWBY and DSTY looked on in shock. What had just transpired?
Looking at team JNPR, they saw Nora pointing an accusing finger at a facepalming Ren, while Jaune and Pyhrra looked just as shocked as they did.
"WHY WOULD YOU WASTE A PERFECTLY GOOD PIE?" Skye shouted in horror.
The monkey faunus from before, Sun, walking with his friend Neptune down the sidewalk of the cafeteria. Today he had decided to drop in and hang with teams RWBY and DSTY, and also introduce one of his friends and teammates to them.
"So the guy with the green hair was all like Bang! Bang! And the bowler hat guy was like, noooooo!" Sun told the story from the shipyard, or at least his version of it, which was over exaggerating everything.
"Nice!" Neptune replied back, a smile at listening to his friend's story.
"Right? And get this, the two girls, they were faunus too!" Sun had realized his mistake. "And that's a secret so don't tell anybody."
"Got it."
"Good!"
"Would you chill out? I got this dude!" Neptune smirked with confidence.
After a second, Sun seemed to agree, nodding with his friend.
As they walked, the two teens never noticed the food fight going on through the windows, or Jaune and Skyes's faces being thrown against the glass.
"Okay dude, I'm really excited for you to meet them, they're the coolest people ever so don't mess this up." Sun started freaking out, mainly because he wanted to impress Blake and Darya.
"Relax dude, like I said before, I got this." He motioned to himself.
"Good point.." Sun seemed to hesitantly agree this time.
{Insert Got Your Six by Five Finger Death Punch}
As the two walked through the door, Neptune's smile turned into a look of horror, while Sun's only grew wider. Students began fleeing and exiting through the doors, being overshadowed by Nora's evil laughter.
At the top of a pile of lunch tables, was Nora, and the rest of team JNPR guarding her. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" She chanted victoriously as teams RWBY and DSTY prepared for combat.
"Justice will be swift!" Ruby shouted, crushing a carton of milk.
"Justice will be painful!" Tyson continued, while taking a bite out of a green apple, then crushing it in his hands.
"It will be delicious!" They both yelled in sync, their teammates yelling in support behind them.
"YOU'RE ALL MONSTERS!" Skye cried as he gathered a bunch of wasted food into his arms, in despair.
"Off with their heads!" Nora ordered as she and the rest of her team jumped down to the floor.
The pink themed girl flipped a table of watermelons, making them fly towards the opposing side.
Ren kicked another table, sending three melons upwards a little, and kicking them towards the other two teams.
Jaune picked a melon and flung it with decent accuracy, while Pyrrha settled for chucking two melons.
Ruby, seeing the barrage of melons flying towards them, went on the defensive. "Yang! Tyson! Turkeys!" She ordered.
Both brawlers ran forward, fitting their fists into two turkeys each, and facing the incoming giant fruits with punches. Tyson would take point, making short work of every melon that came their way, then ducked out of the way for Yang to launch the Turkeys from her hands.
Both turkeys hit Jaune, knocking him down.
Pyrrha watched as this happened, before hearing a battle cry above her. Looking up, she was just in time to block an attack from Blake, who was backed up by Darya.
This proved to be difficult for the redhaired warrior, but she managed to fend Blake off, now only having to deal with the blue haired girl. Deciding it was time to go on the offense herself, Pyrrha batted Darya's next attack away and put some distance between them. She then threw her bread at the other girl like she would with her own weapon in spear mode.
Darya used her semblance for a split second to slow down time and get out of the way of the projectile, sighing when she was clear. She was then caught by surprise when she turned around and was met a kick from the redhead that sent her flying.
The prodigy was in for a surprise herself when she was met with Yang's fist. Quickly dodging the attack, she began parrying the blonde, until Tyson showed up to back her up.
Using his semblance at its lowest level, he feigned a punch to her face, which she instinctively blocked with her arm. A small pop emitted from his fist, sending smoke and ash into the redhead's eyes, and making her drop her guard.
This gave Yang the chance to send her flying backwards with an uppercut to the chin.
"That's my girl." Tyson grinned and held his fist out to her.
"Thanks, I had a little help." She returned the expression and fist bumped him, only to see him disappear after taking a surprise attack from Ren, only Tyson's cap was seen slowly descending to the ground from where he once stood.
The green haired boy found himself suddenly flying and being buried under a pile of wooden tables.
"Tyson!" Yang called for him, only to get attacked herself by Nora.
The shorter girl had a broken off metal pole stabbing through a watermelon. This made for a good weapon, as the force behind it was enough to send the blonde towards and through the roof, sending her skywards.
"Fore!" Nora yelled with a grin while she shielded her eyes like a golf player would do.
The duo were then assaulted by Ruby and Weiss. The white haired girl having found a giant swordfish somewhere on the ground, which made the health of the cafeteria food questionable, and rushed Nora.
The two duked it out, but in the end, Weiss's swordsman skills weren't enough to save her from a hit from Nora's melon hammer.
"Weiss!" Ruby called out to her friend, who struck one of the support pillars and made it crumble, in worry. Though she was relieved when Yuki took her partner's place, having found two chicken legs to use in place of her knives.
Ruby was able to deal with Ren, dodging his celery attacks and getting passed his guard. Grabbing a lunch tray, she turned around and batted him in the face as he charged her. This served as an epic clothes line move that floored Ren almost the instant his face hit the tray.
While still having a tough time with Nora, Yuki was doing much better than Weiss fared. She would avenge her fallen friend! Using expertly times strikes and pinpoint accuracy, Yuki's chicken legs were able to knock Nora's hammer out of her hands. With her opponent's defense down, Yuki went in for the kill, showing off a barrage of hits that almost went into the thirties with the last strike sending the hammer wielder flying towards her would-be castle.
Just when it seemed that teams RWBY and DSTY had won the food fight, things took a turn.
Picking herself up, Pyrrha noticed all the soda cans lying around her. Metal soda cans. Metal. Hmm. Using her polarity semblance, the redhead made every can around her levitate and begin spinning. Soon a wave of soda cans was formed, and sent towards the opposing team.
Pushing the last table off of himself, Tyson looked up just in time to see the oncoming attack, a grimace forming on his face. "Shit." The first can struck him in the chest, his face soon after, followed by more cans that sent him backwards.
Along the way, Tyson was joined in his trip to the wall by Blake and Darya. All three students hitting the wall at the same and hitting the ground with a thud.
Ruby looked back, then forwards with fury. She would have revenge for her fallen comrades! Kneeling down, Ruby took off at breakneck speeds. She flew past the wave of cans, the speed and force at which she was going being enough to change the direction of the storm. This created a vortex of cans instead of a wave.
Jaune and Ren were the first to fall. Just as they were picking themselves up, they saw Ruby fly passed them, and then the only thing they saw after that was cans and colorful liquid.
Nora and Pyrrha were the last to the caught in the storm. As Ruby came to a sudden stop before she could hit the wall, she jumped out of the way and let the hurricane of cans, liquids, and food take care of her enemies. Once team JNPR hit the wall, there was nothing they could do to stop or fight against their own attack that had been turned against them.
The fight was over. Teams RWBY and DSTY had won.
"See! What did I tell you? I love these guys!" Sun exclaimed with excitement, earning him a glare from Neptune, who was covered in grape soda.
"I hate these guys!" Both Vacuo students looked over to see Skye covered in food and sobbing his eyes out.
All this precious and wonderful food, DESTROYED! These people were monsters!
The doors to the cafeteria suddenly burst open, and in came Glynda Goodwitch with a furious expression on her face. With a wave of her riding crop, everything suddenly fixed itself. All the tables automatically realigned and all the messes disappeared. "Children..." She trailed off, barely able to hold back her anger. "Please do not play with your food."
It was then that Yang came back through the roof, and oddly enough, landed in Tyson's arms. She threw a thumbs up to signal that she was okay, this made everyone except for Skye start laughing.
Glynda grit her teeth, about to shout some more, but was stopped when Ozpin put a hand on her shoulder. "Let it go."
"They're supposed to be the defenders of the world." She sighed to herself.
"And they will be." Ozpin agreed. "But they're still children, so why not let them act the part?"
He began walking away. "After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever." He said grimly.
It was night time at a warehouse. White Fang grunts were working everywhere, moving and lifting containers as Mercury, Emerald, and Fidelis entered to confirm their mission.
The trio approached a part of the warehouse that had a work station, and standing there looking at maps and plans, was none other than Roman Torchwick. And he looked completely fine! All the burns and skin he was missing had somehow been restored.
"So, she sent the kids again!" He threw his arms out in sarcastic happiness, walking over and wrapping his arms around Emerald and Mercury. "Its just like the divorce!"
"Ugh! Please spare us the thought of you procreating." Emerald said in disgust as she and Mercury removed his arms from around themselves.
Walking passed them to Fidelis, Roman answered back. "That, was a joke."
He fist bumped Fidelis. "My man! How goes it?"
The faunus just shrugged. "Business is business, glad to see your recovery is complete."
"Yeah, whatever that old lady did to me worked wonders." Roman looked at his hands.
"Roman!" A voice came from above them.
"Oh great, little miss fake is back." Fidelis groaned. He hated Cinder with a passion.
As the shorter woman took an elevator down, she walked towards the group. "Why wasn't this person dealt with today, dealt with by you as instructed?"
"He was gonna flee to Vacuo! So we took it upon ourselves to deal with him." Emerald said all of a sudden.
"Kiss ass." Fidelis muttered while crossing his arms.
"Look around you!" He gestured to all of the crates around them. "I've been stealing every spec of dust in the Kingdom of Vale, as I've been instructed. Sorry but I was busy lately as well, if you haven't noticed, from recovering."
Cinder gave him a stare before turning and walking away. "Mercury. Emerald. You're with me. We are moving onto the next phase of the plan."
"Yes ma'am!" Emerald frantically answered as both she and Mercury followed after their boss.
This left only Roman and Fidelis.
The master thief looked at his comrade. "Well, it was good seeing you again Fiddy, but I have to get back to work." He patted the faunus on the shoulder and walked back to the work station.
It was then that Fidelis was approached by a White Fang grunt, who was carrying a scroll. "Here is the video footage and information you asked for, sir."
"Thanks." He accepted it and began watching what looked to be a street light security camera capturing Roman's fight with Tyson on video. As he watched the fight, Fidelis gained a dark grinned, and an insane look in his eyes.
"I've finally found you, and one way or another, we will fight. And I will kill you, Tyson Denver."
