Alright here is chapter 21 I believe, I would also like to add this, due to the Field Trip Team GRAY will be going on the non-plot rail, they will be doing their own adventure, so they won't be going with RWBY or anyone. Also I would like to add, due to 10,000 views, I will be starting a Q&A in a couple of chapters, ask any question you want, just keep it at the rating and fire away. Also I added a little surprise for a couple of reviewers. Anyway, I own nothing except my ideas and OC Assassin's.
Ash growled as he rose from his bed, his wounds having healed overnight, they still stung. Ash looked and saw his teammates gone. "Where did they go"? He mutters before getting up and getting dressed. Ash was putting his pants on when he felt something against it. Ash grabbed it and squeaked before following it to behind him. Ash blinked as a brown appendage went in front of him. Ash pieced the puzzle together before his face went pale.
"AAAAHHHHHH!"
George, Ryan, and Yaron raced in when they heard Ash scream, and they stared. In front of Ash was a brown monkey tail moving in a wave behind him. "What the..."? Yaron mutters in shock. Ash turned to them and sighed before his tail wrapped around his waist like a belt. "Remember when I said I'm not human"? Ash asks. They nod, realizing what he meant now. Ash shook his head in irritation. "I lost this thing years ago, how is it back now"? He exclaims. They shrug in confusion, they were as lost as he was.
Ash walked through the halls, after being sent back by Ironwood to Beacon, Ruby had all but drilled questions one after another about his scar, it was uncomfortable to bring up, but she deserved to know. After Ash made her promise to not tell anyone, Ash told her everything, which left her shocked. "She'll be even more shocked when she sees this". Ash mutters while his tail was wrapped around his waist under his robes, keeping it hidden. Ash opened the elevator to see Ruby standing inside. Ash sighed before walking in. Ash saw multiple buttons lit up. "Someone pressed all the buttons on the elevator...it wasn't me". She explains while Ash nods. Ash began to tap his shoulder while keeping his arms crossed, he wanted to avoid all conversations due to Ruby's curiosity, unfortunately that didn't happen. "So, I'm sorry about pushing you, I didn't know it was such a sensitive subject". Ruby apologizes while Ash nods. "It's fine, as long as you keep it a secret, I don't want people questioning me". Ash responds while she nods.
Ash and Ruby finally arrived to see Ozpin, Ironwood, and Glynda turn to them. "Sorry it took so long, somebody accidentally knocked all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here". Ruby explains before pausing. "It wasn't me". She assures while Ash shakes his head. "Thank you for coming you two, how are you feeling"? He asks. Ash shuffles nervously while Ruby responded with a joke, which didn't work. "Ruby, I feel its appropriate to let you both know, that what you two did last night is exactly what being Huntsman and Huntresses are all about, you took sought out a threat, you took action, and did the best you could ". Ironwood praises. "While we're on the subject, would you please explains why half the room was burning and destroyed"? Ozpin adds. Ash freezes before looking away, his hood was off to reveal his nervous visage. Ozpin kept his eyes on Ash, until his eyes saw his new 'belt'. "That's an interesting belt". Ozpin says out of nowhere, but Ash could hear the way he said it, he's purposely pointing it out. They all turned to see Ash. Ash was about to respond when Ruby poked his tail, causing it to whip out and smack her on the hand, getting a yelp of shock. Ash sighed as his tail swung around behind him. "I thought you knew everything about me"? Ash questions. "Well, I didn't hear of you growing it back". Ozpin counters nonchalant. Ash sighed. "Regarding the...appendage, explains why my room was destroyed". Ironwood continues. Ash felt conflicted, Ozpin, Ruby, and Ironwood knew about his scar, but Ash didn't want to scare Ruby again. Ash mentally sparred with himself before sighing. "Fine, everyone stand back". Ash orders while they all stand back. "Ash". Ruby says in concern. Ash grins at her before he began to shout. Ash was surrounded with the familiar fire once more, the others stood back as it kicked up a whirlwind. The fire faded to reveal Ash in his Ordos Form, crossing his arms. "This is how". Ash answers. They all stood in shock, and Ruby in fear, remembering Ash's bloodthirsty rampage against the woman last night.
Ash walked forward with a steely look. "I'm not in much control in this form, so I'll keep it brief". Ash says hastily. "This form was a result of the Yangol Demi-God Ordos, slashing me in the back with this axe, infused with the power of four, nearly godly beings". Ash explains while holding his axe in his hand. They nod in understanding. "There are four others, each of them are different, and I have full control over them, due to this form's origin, I can't stay in it long without going into a frenzy". Ash explains before transforming back to normal. "Back to the situation". Ash began while motioning to Ozpin. Ozpin clears his throat before nodding. "Now, the General has already informed us of what...transpired last night, but now that you two have rested we were wondering if you had anything to add". Ozpin explains. "Was anyone else with her, did she look familiar at all"? Glynda asks. Ash motions Ruby to go first. "I-I don't know, she was wearing a mask, and she never said anything to either of us, but I know she fought with glass, I don't think that was her semblance though, her clothing lit up when she attacked". Ruby informs. "Aside from the glass, that sounds like the woman I fought on the night we met Ruby". Glynda remembers. "Imbuing clothes with dust is an age old trick it could have been anyone". Ironwood dismisses. "Wait, do you think this girl could be connected with Torchwick or the White Fang"? Ruby asks. Ozpin cups his chin. "It's possible". Ozpin guesses. "But, we lack the required evidence to link the two together, and I hope that evidence can be given by, Mr. Burn the Room". Ozpin jokes while looking at Ash. "Watch it Wizard of Oz". Ash snaps while Ruby had to conceal a laugh. "I know who attack us, but she's long gone by now, I don't have her name, but she has raven hair that ends with white, orange eyes, and has the ability over fire as well". Ash adds. Ozpin nods. "Actually, I remember her saying something about a hideout or something, in the southeast, outside of the kingdom". Ruby adds. Ash saw Ozpin smirk. "Interesting". He murmurs. "But I thought you said the intruder-" "Thank you for your cooperation you two, why don't you spend time with your teams, you have a big day ahead of you". Ozpin dismisses. Ash's eyes narrowed at him. "And don't worry Ash, your secret is safe". Ozpin assures while Ash calms down. "Anytime" Ruby says while they walk towards the elevator. "And Miss Rose, please try to be discreet about this matter". Ozpin says. "Yes sir". She says while they walk into the elevator.
Ash and Ruby walked towards RWBY's dorm. "Shouldn't you be with your team"? Ruby asks. "They wanted to explore a bit, so I really don't have much to do". Ash answers. Ruby shrugs before opening the door, only to get mobbed by her teammates. "What happened"! Yang asks. Ash saw Ruby stumble around her words before nervously laughing.
Ash sat against the wall as they talked. "That was a risky move". Weiss says. "I don't know, I think she handled it pretty well". Blake assures. "I hope so". Ruby mutters. "I'm sure everything will be alright Ruby, oh I know what will cheer you up". Yang says before walking to her desk. "What's that"? Ruby asks. "I don't know, dad sent it to us, so I think we could open it together". Yang explains. "Oh, something from home"! Ruby squeals before teleporting onto her sister and reached for the package. The package opened up to reveal a black tube which jumped around, and formed into a dog while the others gathered around, it barked at them which caused the team to recoil, with different reactions. "Zwei"! Ruby cheers. "He sent a dog"? Blake asks. "In the mail"? Weiss continues. "I don't even think I could pull that off". Ash admits. "He does stuff like this all the time". Yang reveals. "Your father or your dog"? Blake asks from the top bed. Ash looks at her before smirking. Blake glared at him. "Are you supposed to tell me that this, mangy, drooling, mutt, is going to wive with is fowever". Weiss says as she began baby talking Zwei. Ash shook his head as the mighty Weiss Schnee looses her edge around a dog. "Please keep it away from my belongings". Blake says quickly. Ash smirks before throwing his dagger at the back ropes holding it up, making Blake land in front of Zwei. Ash watched as she went stone cold as Zwei sniffed her then licked her, that was all it took for her to immediately fix the bed and get back on it. "Would all first year students report to the Amphitheater". Glynda's voice says through the speaker. "Well we can't exactly leave him here for a week". Weiss points out. "Dear girls, I've got to leave the island for a few days, so I'm leaving Zwei for you two to take care of inside is all of the food you need, love you both: Taiyang". Yang reads. Yang shook the mail cylinder before a ton of cans fell out from it onto Zwei. "What's he supposed to do with that"? Weiss asks as Yang shakes the cylinder, a can opener fell out. Ash shook his head before leaving, he needed to gather up his team.
Ash met up with his team before meeting at the Amphitheater. They were about to enter when Ironwood tapped them on the shoulders and asked them to follow. "What's up"? Ash asks. "I would like to give you your 'mission' I think you'll like it". Ironwood states before holding out a letter, which they gathered around to read.
A cavern containing some sort of treasure has been found outside of vale guarded by some force field, we have been informed that four gang leaders are in possession of the seven keys required to unlock the indestructible door.
After reading the letter, they each turn to Ironwood who smirked at him. "Me and Ozpin were good friends of Robert's, he told us, avenge his death". Ironwood states before motioning them to a dust plane. Ash turns around before frowning, he wanted to say goodbye but that wasn't happening. Ash decided to use an old trick. Ash formed a orb of aura in his palm before speaking his goodbye message, which immediately flew to the Amphitheater. Ash turns to them before smirking. "Let's go".
To be continued.
That was chapter 21 people. Yes, Ash will finally be getting the Armor of Brutus after a grueling arc. I noticed I spent a little more time on Ash than I should have, but I wanted to give a couple of my Saiyan reviewers something to like, and I wanted to explains the forms in a bit of deeper detail. Also I would like to infrom you that I am SERIOUSLY considering AshxRuby, due to your peoples reviews I am considering it, but it will take alot of convincing. Anyway, R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out with the crew.
Team GRAY: See ya!
