RWBY and JNPR's twisted lives
Non-canon no. 6
xxxxxxxxxxxx
The members of team RWBY dragged themselves into the dorm room groaning in exhaustion both physical and mental.
"I think that test scrambled my brain." Yang rubbed her temples
"I should have studied those last few pages last night." groaned Weiss.
"If anyone makes a joke about needing a cat nap I'm gonna punch them." Blake warned.
Ruby was just a babbling mess while her hands twitched and she dragged herself across the floor.
"I think it was too much even for Ruby." spoke Weiss as Ruby ended up dragging herself against a wall.
"It's mostly sugar withdrawal." Yang went to the desk and pulled out a mini chocolate bar. "This'll fix her up." she walked over and waved it over Ruby's face, but she kept babbling without looking at the bar. "Ugh, it's worse than I thought, Blake can you get her mouth open? I need two hands for this."
Blake walked over and opened Ruby's mouth placing a hand on her jaw while pinching her nose with the other. Yang plopped the candy in her sister's mouth and once the chocolate hit her tongue the twitching settled.
"Mmmm." she smiled. "Thanks. Alright, all in favor of hitting the sack early just groan."
The other three groaned in unison.
"The groans have it, change into your jammies, brush your teeth, and destroy anything that makes loud noises."
"Agreed, but instead of destroy, let's just turn them off." Yang lifted her sister off the ground.
After getting into her matching black and white night clothes, Ruby watched a documentary on banned wrestling moves.
"Ruby, don't stay up too late." spoke Blake who rested her head on her pillow and sighed as soon as she hit the soft cushion.
"I won't. I'm just waiting for Yang. Can you believe they banned all these awesome moves?"
"What I can't believe is that you still sleep in the same bed as your sister." Weiss said from her bed across the room.
"Have you ever slept on her chest? They're better than a pillow."
"Ugh, you're such an infant." Weiss pulled up her blankets and went to sleep.
Yang walked out of the bathroom stretching her arms. She saw Ruby looking at a documentary and walked over. "Bedtime sis, shut it down."
"But it's getting to the best part." she let out a yawn.
"Bed, now." spoke Yang turning the scroll off and placing it on the night stand.
"Oh fine." Ruby relented as Yang crawled into bed then nuzzled her older sister. "Night night, Yang."
"Good night Ruby, sweet dreams."
And with that, the last two members of RWBY drifted off to sleep.
Hours later all was quiet and still. Too still. Yang moved her arm in her sleep feeling for the little body that was normally pressed against her. She opened her eyes and saw Ruby was gone. "Oh no, not again."
She sat up and got out of bed and looked out of the dorm room. "Blake, Weiss. Wake up."
"Mmm, what is it? We need sleep." groaned Weiss sitting up.
"I think Ruby's sleepwalking again."
"Again?" Blake scratched her ears and shook her head.
"We need to find her and make sure she doesn't get hurt or into trouble."
The other two pulled themselves out of bed and followed Yang who went ahead and rushed down the hall. "I may need some help." she stopped at the door to team CRDL's room.
Both girls caught up as Yang pushed the door open.
"Cardin, get up."
"Huh?" Cardin blinked and rubbed his eyes. "Yang? Is this some hot dream?"
She glared and gave him a smack.
"Ow!" he sat up and rubbed his cheek. "What's going on? Why are you guys here? In MY dorm room?"
"Long story short, Ruby's a sleepwalker and she's somewhere in the school."
"Then why did you wake us up?" his face became scared. "She's not in here is she?"
"Not that we can see." Weiss looked around.
"And since your her babysitter you're gonna help us track her down."
Cardin groaned as Blake and Weiss slapped his teammates up. Their complaints and whines fell on deaf ears.
"You either help or I hide a box of cookies in here and let Ruby go on a 'scavenger hunt'." threatened Yang.
"Alright already, geez." Sky practically jumped out of bed. "But where do we search first?"
"First we should tell the professors." Weiss suggested.
"Glynda's office it is." spoke Blake.
"You guys handle that, I need to round up some more troops and get my scroll." Yang jogged out of the room.
"Are we gonna get any sleep?" Sky asked yawning.
"Not unless you wanna wake up to find a certain brunette cuddling you."
"On second thought a midnight search sounds great!"
"Let's go."
All of them walked out with Yang coming back with JNPR. All of them headed down to Glynda's own dorm.
Weiss reached it first and knocked on it. "Miss Goodwitch? We need to talk to you."
The professor walked out to see the group of students at her door. "What is it? Do you have any idea what time it is?"
"Ruby." they all said together.
Glynda's eyes widened. "What happened?"
"She's a sleepwalker."
"So she left the dorm?" Everyone nodded. Glynda groaned and reached over to her desk and grabbed her crop before walking out. "Alright, any idea where she might be?"
"Depending on what she's dreaming about, it's difficult to say." Yang rubbed her chin.
"Maybe she's dreaming of sweets?" spoke Cardin.
Glynda's Scroll went off. She answered it with worry. "What is it?"
"Glynda," Dr. Oobleck spoke. "There's something in the arena you should see."
"I'm on it." she ended the call. "Let's go."
The students followed their teacher to the doors of the indoor area with Prof. Port and Dr. Oobleck waiting for them.
"What's going on?" Glynda asked.
"I was making my final round before heading to bed when… well see for yourself." Port gestured.
Glynda opened doors with the teens looking and were gobsmacked. Ruby was shadowboxing in the arena.
"Well….this is more calm than I thought." remarked Jaune.
"Okay, whatever you do, don't wake her up." Yang warned.
"Well what if we just leave her be? After all, no ones down there to bother her." suggested Nora.
"For now."
"Can we go back to bed?" asked Sky.
"Hang on." Cardin smirks before going to the arena.
"Cardin don't!" Yang called out.
"Relax, I'm just gonna go a few rounds and tire her out a bit."
Ren snapped his fingers and clapped his hands.
Everyone turned to Nora who was about to fall over from fatigue.
"Nora! Translate." spoke Weiss shaking her.
"Ren said that it might work." she yawned.
"No it won't." spoke Yang watching Cardin reach the arena and get near Ruby.
"Alright Ruby, let's see what you can do without your weapon." Cardin chuckled.
Ruby had her eyes half lidded and gave off an occasional snort as she kept shadowboxing.
Cardin walked in front of her and raised his fists. He waited for a fist and dodged it and grabbed her wrist. "That the best you got?"
That's when she spun and kicked his side. He gasped from the force and rolled on the ground from it.
The younger girl jumped and elbow dropped on the boy.
"Ah!" Cardin cried out as Ruby stood back up and grabbed his ankles and bent them back.
Cardin groaned in pain and tapped the floor. "I give I give!"
She let go and went back to shadow boxing.
Cardin groaned standing up and stumbled back. "Okay, bad call on my part."
"What do we do? Just leave her there? Cause I'm for Nora's suggestion." spoke Weiss.
"She could start wandering off any time. So we need to keep her in here." Yang threw in.
Ruby slowly stopped throwing punches and started walking off the arena.
"Oh no you don't." Glynda locked all the doors and exits.
Ruby stopped at the closed door and patted it before taking a few steps back before running full speed and kicking it open.
Everyone watching were stunned as Ruby walked through the door without waking up.
"Oobleck," Glynda pointed.
"I'm on it." the professor sped out the door and in front of her. "Ruby, I cannot allow you to go wandering off like this. Now go back to your dorm and go to sleep."
Using her Semblance she tackled him and jumped for a pile driver.
"Oh dear." spoke the professor before groaning as she landed on him.
"Ooooh, are you alright Prof. Oobleck?" Weiss hissed.
"Just….fine… and it's…. Dr. Oobleck." he groaned out before slumping on his back while Ruby stood up and started shadowboxing while facing Nora.
"Nora, look out!"
"I got this." Nora held her fists up as Ruby threw a punch. Nora twisted her body and pushed the girl, back sending her stumbling. "See? It's easy."
Ruby flipped and landed on Nora's shoulders. She raised her arms and jumped before swinging them down and slamming them onto Nora's shoulders.
"Nora!"
Nora stumbled from the strike and fell back in Ren's arms and saw Ruby land on her feet before turning towards Blake.
"Uh Yang, I don't think I can hit your sister when she's unconscious."
"Trip her up. We'll dogpile her." spoke Sky.
"Well I don't see much choice."
Ruby jumped at Blake with her fist pulled back.
"Woah!"
Before she could reach the Faunus, the others ran and tackled her in midair and piled on top of her.
"We got her!"
Just as they were about to sigh in relief, they felt something moving underneath them.
"Oh boy."
They felt themselves get pushed up by Ruby who pulled her arms back and threw the pile at the wall.
"How is she so strong?" Weiss questioned.
"When she's like this, I have no idea." Yang shook her head as Ruby started walking away. "I'm pretty sure she used her Semblance when she throws a blow."
"Can we tie her up and let her be?" asked Pyrrha.
"Maybe if we can catch her."
"Well all she's doing is walking." spoke Weiss with a sweatdrop.
"Blake, see if you can wrap this up."
She nodded and threw her blade out and had it lodge into the wall before running over and around Ruby with the ribbon and tied her up. "I got her."
Ruby kept snoring, but kept walking against the bindings.
"She is persistent." Blake kept a grip on the ribbon as Ruby turned towards her. Blake flinched before her captive spun around with her Semblance. "Oh no." Blake was yanked from her feet screaming as she was spun around.
"Crap!" spoke Russell before Blake went flying into him and his team. All of them went crashing while Ruby turned and resumed walking down the hall.
"Ruby." Yang ran after her.
"Come on Jaune." Pyrrha ran off after Ruby.
Jaune got up and followed with Ren carrying Nora over his shoulder and ran after them.
"Ooh! Ren!" Nora chuckled. "Not the best time to get frisky."
Ren rolled his eyes with a smile as Glynda ran after them.
"How is she not waking up yet?" Jaune ran up next to Yang. "She can't still just be sleeping."
"Trust me. She once sleep walked through several Beowolf packs and didn't open her eyes even more until I found her in a Nevermore's nest."
"Come on Mercury." Emerald spoke quietly as the two went through the halls.
"Remind me again why I let you drag me out of bed?" Mercury whispered with a grumpy tone.
"As a thief I like to know about every exit if I have to make a quick escape."
"And you needed me why?"
"This place is creepy at night and I need someone as a shield."
"Wow. The all masterful thief Emerald is scared of the dark? Scandalous!"
Emerald stopped, hearing footsteps. She shushed Mercury as they hid around the corner.
Ruby walked up. making the thief gasp and jump back against Mercury. Both watched Ruby walk by with Emerald clinging to Mercury in fear.
"Man Emerald, I'm starting to think that if you want to stalk and date her, THEN DO IT!"
"Wait a minute." Emerald slowly approached and moved around to see the front of her eyes. "She's sleepwalking."
"What?" Mercury walked over and saw Ruby's eyes were half lidded while she snored. "Huh, isn't there a myth about waking them?"
"Well personally I'd prefer it if she stayed like this," she gripped her weapon. "Looks like Torchwick's gonna get his wish."
"Hold up. This might be your only chance." he waved his hands dramatically to Ruby. "Wake your love with the kiss of life!"
"You wanna be next?" She jabbed the barrel under his chin.
"Just making a suggestion. I mean you are pretty much nuts for her at this point."
"I'm gonna make you eat those words by splattering her brains all over the walls, the world will thank me for taking out this psycho." she made sure it was loaded and ready to fire, but stopped when Ruby raised an arm up and slammed a karate chop on her head. Her aim was thrown off and she squeezed the trigger.
*BANG*
The shot hit the ceiling as she stumbled back and rubbed her head.
"Did you guys hear that?"
Emerald and Mercury panicked and ran off.
"Damn it! I was so close." Emerald cursed before Mercury clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Shut up and keep moving." the assassin pushed her further through the hall.
Ruby kept walking with Yang, Pyrrha, Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Glynda following.
"That was definitely a gunshot." Jaune spoke.
Yang ran over to Ruby's side and looked her over. "Oh thank god, she's okay."
Ruby snored in response as Glynda sighed and waved her crop before some of the curtains moved over to Ruby.
"There that should hold her."
But she was wrong as Ruby frowned and grumbled while she started spinning again.
"Yang, Pyrrha, grab her." Jaune called out.
Both ran over and hugged her from both sides. She slowly stopped spinning and smiled before her head dropped down, but on Pyrrha's chest.
"Oh my." Pyrrha blushed.
"What's going on?" Ozpin walked up to them. "Who's shooting in the school?" But he stopped and saw Ruby nuzzling her head in Pyrrha's chest. "Uh, Glynda? What's going on?"
"Ruby sleepwalks."
"Well why not take her back to her dorm?"
Ruby jumped up, doing a split kick on the girls holding her. Both stumbled back with Ruby landing and facing Ozpin.
"Oh, I see."
Ruby dashed at him and held her right arm out and slammed it against Ozpin's chest, making him gasp from the surprise hay maker.
Everyone gasped with wide eyes.
"Ozpin...she's not… she didn't…" Yang started hyperventilating.
"She just punched Ozpin." spoke Nora in shock with Ren's mouth hanging open.
"Alright Miss Rose," Ozpin faced her holding his cane like a sword. "My move."
Ruby kept standing before raising her fists up in a ready stance. Ozpin ran over, and knocked her off her feet. But she flipped and landed before raising her fists again. The headmaster slammed his cane on the ground and creating a barrier around himself.
The students and teacher watched as Ruby ran and pummeled against the barrier with her fists flying.
"Awesome." Yang watched in awe.
"This is cool to watch and all." Jaune shook his head. "But whoever wins, Ruby's still gonna be in big trouble."
Ruby's onslaught began to drop as she exhausted her energy.
Ozpin dropped the barrier and caught the girl in his arm. "Yang, if you would be so kind."
She nodded and walked over before taking her sister from Ozpin's arm.
"Now off to bed, all of you." he turned and walked away while holding his chest from the punch
Everyone looked to Ruby who looked at peace, for the moment.
The next morning, Ruby stretched her arms and sat up. "Wow I slept great last night."
"We didn't." groaned Blake sitting up with a black eye.
"Yikes! What happened to you?"
"You did." spoke Weiss sitting up and groaning. "You were wrestling in your sleep."
"I was?" Ruby tilted her head. "That sounds crazy, even for me."
"Tell that to Oobleck." Yang put her hands on her hips.
"Why?" Ruby asked standing up and getting her clothes on.
"You pulled a pile driver on him."
"Now I know you're pulling my leg."
"Pack your things Ruby." Yang tossed her sister's bag to her.
"Why? We going on a mission this early?"
"No, but after punching Ozpin you'll probably be expelled from Beacon."
"Why would I punch Ozpin?" she asked packing her stuff.
"Maybe this is why." Yang holds up Ruby's scroll which was set to the last thing she watched.
"Oh yeah! The documentary on the most banned wrestling moves! Ah, a classic." she smiled.
The door opened and Glynda stepped inside. "Miss Rose? The headmaster wants to talk with you."
"It's been nice knowing you Ruby." Weiss said.
"We'll miss you." spoke Blake.
Ruby followed Glynda out and past the open door to team JNPR's dorm.
"Dead girl walking." Nora teased before sighing as Ren rubbed her shoulders.
Apparently word had gotten around because everyone stared at her. Some were tempted to jump for joy or start a party to celebrate the insane girl was gonna leave them for good.
They came to the office where the headmaster and Oobleck were waiting. She walked over to the desk and looked at Ozpin.
"Miss Rose."
"Yes?"
"Last night you caused a bit of commotion. There was gunfire."
"Really? Who did I shoot?"
"You were unarmed. Someone tried to shoot you."
"Oh I get it. And I left a body, right?"
"No. Apparently you drove them off. I asked you here to warn you that your life may be in danger."
"Oh. So you want me to go to another school to save me, right?" she asked.
"Of course not, I want you to be more cautious of those around you."
"Ooooh! I gotcha." she looked at Glynda and narrowed her eyes.
"By the way, from now on, no more violent videos before bed."
"Fine." she pouted. 'Guess it's back to gangster movies than.'
"Ruby." Ozpin warned.
"What? I wasn't thinking of possibly watching gangster movies."
"Why don't you just tell your team what I just told you, everything I told you."
"Gotcha!" she gave a thumbs up. 'He won't hear about the movies if I don't say anything.'
"And I can't let this go a second time. So if an incident like this occurs again, I'll have to expel you.
'Can this guy read minds or something? Must test it. Watermelon elephants!'
"That is all Miss Rose."
"Okey, I love you, buh-bye." she skipped out happily.
"I still think you're being too lenient with her." Glynda spoke irritably.
"Well frankly it could have gone much worse." Ozpin replied. "Besides, her uncle wouldn't be too pleased to hear I expelled her."
"Quite right. We don't' need a repeat of what happened when he heard she might NOT have gotten here." spoke Oobleck.
Glynda sighed and her shoulders fell.
"Besides Glynda, at least you don't feel any pain when she was in here." spoke Ozpin as he and Oobleck grabbed their guts.
Glynda rolled her eyes. "I'll get some ice packs.
