Chapter 22: Switched II
Glynda Goodwitch was currently tapping her foot as the four leaders of teams CFVY, SSSN, JNPR, and RWBY were currently standing in front of her in disheveled clothing. Instead of the usual terror in their eyes, they wore a mask of tire and anger.
"You know why you four are here, correct?" She started.
"We know." They drawled simultaneously.
"And you know you will be punished, correct?" She lifted a brow.
"We know." They repeated their last sentence.
"…Is there something on your minds?" The disciplinarian asked, putting her scroll away.
"…Is what our teams did really our fault?" Sun asked while crossing his arms. Normally he wouldn't question the scary woman in front of him, but he was getting tired of the same thing happening. "We weren't even near them when it happened."
"It feels really unfair that we take the full brunt of the punishment …ma'am." Coco confessed nervously. "I get being a team leader is a big responsibility, but taking all blame for our team's antics doesn't seem right."
Jaune and Ruby were letting the two talk it out since they had lost all their energy from trying to rein the teams in. If anyone had looked closely, Jaune was sporting a healing black eye courtesy of Nora and Yang while Ruby had her stockings and sleeves ripped from trying to get in between Zwei, Blake, and Weiss.
"You four are not the first to complain to me about this." Goodwitch started after they were done talking. "The reason you are being punished is because as leaders, you need to start having better control of your teams."
"Pardon me ma'm." Jaune said while fixing his face into a neutral gaze. "But you've seen our teams. It's like telling us to clean a dead tree."
"We're stumped on what to do." Ruby whimpered. "…No pun intended."
"Then I will tell you to think things through like the Huntsmen you aspire to be." The older woman said, giving them a hard stare. "If you cant find one, then try reading from the student handbook."
"…We have a student handbook?" The little reaper whispered to the blonde knight. All he did was shrug at the new information.
After dismissing them, the four headed off to their safe haven away form all their troubles.
The RAWC Room
"Ruby!" Jaune gasped while trying to get some air in him. "You're squeezing too tight."
"Suck it up!" She growled, clenching even tighter. "I need this after what happened."
"I-I don't think I'm gonna last." With a pop, Jaune's rib had loosened by the death grip Ruby had placed him in.
Whenever Ruby was truly angry beyond comfort food, she needed hugs. Yang was always there for her in those times. But after joining Beacon and becoming the leader of her team where Yang was part of the trouble, Ruby had needed someone or something else to hug. After Jaune had caught her close to hugging a cactus in blinding anger, he had jumped in her way and had been made her outlet to calm down. The hugs would only last for a minute or three, but today she was going over the average time and strength.
Turning over to his fellow blonde leader, Jaune saw Sun was on the ground unconscious from his girlfriend still squeezing the life out of him in a death hug. Coco had tried Ruby's form of therapy and found it extremely effective when she was hugging her man. Sun was happy to accept at first, but after remembering what his girlfriend carried around so easily in one arm it was too late to back out of it.
After tapping out of the death hug before the little reaper could proceed to do a death roll similar to a gator, Jaune had crawled his way to a shelf where true to Glynda's words; there was a student handbook.
"How have we not heard of this before?" He groaned as he opened the book. After an hour of looking things over, he had forgotten about the pain as he started laughing deviously.
As the others walked to him, he showed them what had made him laugh. Getting what was going on, they joined him in devious laughter as they plotted the demise of their team.
The next day
"ARE YOU MAD?" Ren shouted while gripping Jaune's collar tightly.
A few people who had heard the four team's statement had ran out of the cafeteria in fear of what was to come. Those that had came in later caught wind of what was going on and backpedalled out the entrance.
"I think this will be a great experience for all of us." Jaune said, prying his ninja teammate's hands off him. "It's not like it'll be forever. Just a few weeks."
Looking over to the other teams, the blonde knight saw Weiss looking upwards with stars in her eyes, Neptune and Fox sweating a storm, and Nora …being Nora.
"I need to go to the nurse's office." Ren covered his mouth. "I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Aww, come on Ren." He said, slapping him on the back. "What could possibly go- mmph!"
"Finish that sentence, and Arcadia gets you back in a wheelchair." Ren glared darkly while covering his leader's mouth.
A few minutes ago
"We QUIT!" The four leaders told their teams as they all gathered to eat lunch.
"You guys are dropping out?" Blake gasped at the notion.
"What? No." Ruby corrected her. "We're stepping down as leaders of our teams. It's stated in the student handbook that when leaders feel the need to step down from duty, they are allowed to pick a vice leader to lead the group for an estimated amount of time. And as I step down, I name Weiss as temporary leader."
"Same goes for you Neptune." Sun clapped his buddy on the back. He smirked as the bluenette had stiffened up like a board.
"Don't let me down Fox." Coco smirked, handing over her shades like a torch. "Lead us well."
"So I'm guessing Pyrrha will be in charge for a while." Ren nodded while giving Pyrrha a nod in congrats.
"Don't be silly Ren." Jaune chuckled, not noticing the crestfallen look Pyrrha had made. "Nora's the leader."
End Flashback
After releasing the prince in hidings mouth, Ren had walked out of the area until he was completely out of their line of sight. While he was walking far away from the madness, Nora was smiling while imagining all the perks of leadership while Neptune gave a speech to all of them on what he would do as leader with Weiss trying to one up him on what she would do. Fox was testing the shades he had put on and felt the weight in them. It was suffocating.
The next day – First trials
With Weiss
"What did you do to yourself?" The WBY of team RWBY stared at their youngest member with mouths gaping.
Ruby had dyed her hair white overnight while everyone had been sleeping. During their talk yesterday, she and Nora had talked about changing appearances since they were also changing positions. Not one to go lazy on things, Ruby had taken it to being the new Weiss of the group.
"Since you're the Ruby of the group now, I'm the new Weiss." She beamed while raising her brows playfully.
"No." Weiss shook her head. "This is not-"
"Now hold on there." The busty blonde stopped her new leader with a raised hand. "Let's try this out. New Weiss could be onto something here."
"She is not NEW WEISS!" The heiress growled while stomping a foot.
"Calm down Old Weiss." Blake patted her on the shoulder. "Let's give New Weiss a chance here."
"Why are you calling me Old Weiss?" Old Weiss said indignantly. "If anything, I should be called the Original Weiss."
"I'm fine being called New Weiss, so I'll just head out and let you guys sort things out yourselves." The now white-headed reaper said while heading out.
"Wait!" Weiss called out to her. "I was going to propose a team meeting!"
"We can do it another time." The hooded girl shrugged not stopping. "I'm meeting up with the others anyway. It can be a group thing."
"Alright." Yang waved with a playful grin. "Save us a seat in the caf."
"Will do." As she walked out, she hid a smirk under her ands as she skipped away.
"I like New Weiss more." Blake said with a smile, ignoring the affronted look Old Weiss was giving her.
With Nora
"Ren." Nora whispered while hiding behind him.
"Yes Nora?" He answered back casually.
"I'm scared." She whimpered while looking at one of her fears.
Standing in front of them was Arcwitch, who was busy fixing his bed. Nora had woken up to the sound of feet shuffling and opened her eyes to see Arcwitch walking around the whole room tidying things up. She had tried to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep until he left, but he found out she was awake and had prompted her to get up. Not willing to fall alone, she had dragged Ren down with her as she had to face the fearful Arcwitch.
"Everything is all accounted for …Bubbly Leader." The blonde knight told his new leader, walking towards her with a book in his hand. "Nothing to distract you now from reading the student handbook."
"I have to what?" She gaped at the book that was thrust into her hands. "But …but-"
"If you want to be a good leader, I suggest you read it." Not waiting for a reply, he had walked out of the room with Pyrrha following close behind.
"Do I have to Ren?" The pink bomber groaned to her childhood friend.
"It's either read it and get it over with, or having him come in to make you read it." He gave the ultimatum. Jaune was scary as Arcwitch, but Ren had learnt that he was still the same nice person all the same.
"But I'm supposed to be the leader." She grumbled while cracking the book open. After hearing what she had said, an idea had pooped into her bubbly head. "Lightbulb!"
"Nora." The green ninja warned her. "Think this through first."
"Too late!" She said while sprinting out the door. "The power has gone to my head!"
He could only groan as he followed after her while reading the handbook on the way. "It's too early for this."
With Neptune and Fox
"We can do this buddy." The bluenette tried to psyche him and his other leader up. "We totally got this."
Fox could only nod while still wearing the shades. He would have a cool and aloof appearance if his knees weren't shaking in fear.
"Just think of the perks." He continued, walking back and forth. "…What are the perks?"
"…" After a few minutes, Fox had a thought. "RAWC room?"
"Right!" Neptune nodded, pumping himself up more. "We get the RAWC room. That awesome place only leaders are allowed to enter."
With Sun and Coco
"Why?" Sun sobbed while leaning on the door to the leader's lounge. "WHY?"
He was on his knees while kissing the door itself with the rest of his team trying to pry him off the door. Coco was on the opposite wall shedding tears of loss.
"It's gone." She whimpered, sucking on a thumb while rocking back and forth in fetal position. "Where will I go? What will I do? Where will I sit in peace and quiet?"
"Have you thought of the library?" Velvet groaned as she tried to pull on one of Sun's legs while Scarlet tried to pull on the other. Yatsuhashi was trying to get Sun's hands off the knob, but the former blonde leader had a very strong monkey grip.
"My love nest." The monkey faunus whimpered while ignoring the pulls. Coco had stood up to hug him in sadness after hearing him.
"We can get through this." She soothed him. "We'll find a new love nest. It'll be better than ever. Just you, me, and the children."
"Promise?" He whimpered after letting go to hold her.
"Of course." She rubbed his back. The others saw it as something sweet, but rolled their eyes after remembering what the two were crying over.
While the two were consoling one another, they were unaware of a group hidden in a corner whispering amongst themselves.
Cafeteria
After the groups had all met up, the four former leaders had nodded to one another to set their plan into action.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" Weiss asked her team while looking at her scroll.
"I don't know." Ruby sasses, looking at her nails and ignoring the affronted look on Weiss's face. "You're the leader. It's your job to think of activities."
Yang had given a thumbs up to Ruby's imitation of the heiress while Blake had a smarmy grin as she looked at the shocked look on Weiss's face. It was odd for the others to see a white haired Ruby being sassy to Weiss. It wasn't an image anyone had thought would ever happen.
Nora had taken this opportunity to stand up and point to her blonde teammate. After he had looked her way, she had made a small 'eep' and jumped farther away from him.
"As team leader, I command you to get rid of the riding crop and glasses!" Nora shouted a table over to the blonde knight.
"We're against this!" Blake said strongly while sliding up to Jaune. "Your tyranny will fall soon!"
"Did you read anything from the handbook after I left?" He asked the bubbly leader while giving her a small glare.
Nora was now feeling an extreme weight on her throat as she tried to open her mouth and speak. Sadly, the only thing that came out was the chattering of her teeth.
"Leaders aren't allowed to dictate what their members should wear." Ren tried to save her. "It's one of the rules made in respect to the end of the Color Wars."
"…Can you tell me the rest later?" She begged him, shivering at the feeling of Jaune glaring at her more.
"We'll work on that." Ren promised his former leader. Somehow he doubted that Nora would give up.
A few hours later
After a spar with Blake and Pyrrha, Jaune had gone into the showers to clean himself up. Nora had sneakily gone into his locker to replace his Arcwitch outfit with the Sabre one instead. She couldn't find the riding crop or the glasses though. After walking out quietly, she had stuffed it into his closet where she saw a set of Arcwitch uniforms ready to be used. Not willing to take a chance of her subordinate using any of them, she placed one of her grenades in and rejoiced as it exploded.
"All according to keikaku." She smirked deviously. Ren was nowhere in sight to stop her since she sent him on a wild goose chase for whole-wheat pancakes. Like anyone would ever make those.
"Nora?" Her childhood friend called her while entering their dorm. "I'm back. And I got the ingredients for the whole wheat pancakes."
"They're real? I mean- welcome back! …Yay!" Nora had made a new plan to find whoever created the whole-wheat abomination and destroy their closet too.
"…Why is Jaune's closet in pieces?" He asked, dropping the ingredients. "…How is it in pieces?"
"I may have accidentally blew it up practicing with my explosives." She lied in a too sweet tone.
"…I'm out of here." He said simply, packing his things and walking to the door. As he reached the door and opened it though, he saw Jaune in his Sabre outfit glaring at them with his glasses on.
SLAM!
Ren didn't know what made him slam the door on his only male teammate, but he felt that he just made things a lot worse for Nora and had gotten himself pegged as part of it. Hearing the door creak open, all he could do was step aside as the blonde knight walked in slowly and pass him to his destroyed closet.
"…How did this happen?" He looked to his leader who was sweating profusely while standing ramrod straight.
"It was an accident?" She said with a sheepish grin. She thought she had gotten in the clear when all he did was click his tongue.
Goodwitch's Office
"-THE MOST IRRESPONSIBLE THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!" The blonde disciplinarian shouted to a quivering Nora. "Not only have you destroyed school property, but now a teammate of yours is now left with no uniform for classes! It'll take a week for him to get his order of a full set."
All Nora could do was stand there and take the scolding Goodwitch was giving her. Jaune hadn't told on her. He was willing to dip into his royal account to get his things replaced, but Goodwitch herself had heard the explosion and had gone to their room to investigate. While Jaune and Ren had gotten off with a small slap on the wrist, she was dragged to the disciplinarian's office where she was getting a strong scolding.
As she exited the office, she saw her childhood friend waiting for her looking very disappointed.
"Don't give me that look." She pouted, not looking him in the eye. "I told you the power went to my head."
"So how are you going to fix Jaune's problem?" He asked, walking next to her.
"I'll think of something." She grumbled while stomping harder on the floor. "I wonder how the others are doing?"
With Weiss, Neptune, and Fox
The RAWC Room
The three new leaders didn't know how this had happened. At one moment they were enjoying the perks of the RAWC room, and soon they were flooded with a bunch of other leaders storming in and wrecking the place.
"Buzz off!" Surprisingly, Cardin Winchester had become a great ally to them in fending off a safe corner of the room.
Apparently, Ruby and the others had given him an olive branch as a sign of peace between all of them. And after Ruby was told it wasn't supposed to be a literal olive branch, they had made him the other C or W in RAWC. He never hung out too long in the RAWC room like the four did, but he would swing by to do a quick game with the two males or just relax in a corner they all respected that he called the Winchester Zone.
"You guys have really messed things up." He grumbled to the three cowering leaders who were sitting in his personal corner. "Without the four founders, these animals think they own the place."
"Hey!" A dog faunus shouted in indignation.
"Not what I meant!" The muscular teen growled before he Spartan kicked him off his zone. "But seriously! You guys have fucked everything up!"
"Why aren't they afraid of us?" Neptune whimpered, sporting a black eye from trying to force one of them out. "We're officially leaders now."
"You think having the title and ordering your team around is all it takes?" The brunette scoffed, backhanding a nerf bullet away. "If that was the case, then Sky would be the better leader of my team."
"Sneak Attack!" An orange haired leader had tried to jump Cardin while he was looking away from the chaotic group, but had found himself upside down while his target held his leg. "Um …hi?"
"Bye." After slamming his foe similar to what he saw in an action movie, he left him on the floor a whimpering mess before turning back to the greenhorns. "Sorry about that. Anyways, the reason these guys aren't afraid of you is because you lack the backbone all us leaders have built up."
"Don't speak in metaphors." Fox gripped his head. "I don't get what you mean."
"Fear!" He shouted, glaring at another attacker who was holding Coco's Arcadian vase as a weapon. After he made sure that the expensive item was put down, he turned back to the three. "The same fear that gives a show of respect earned and a form of power. The founders had it, and they sure as hell knew how to use it."
"Look out!" The heiress shouted as a hulking fourth year sucker punched Cardin out cold.
Losing their only line of defense, the three were thrown out with Cardin landing on top of them. After waking him up, he nursed the temple where he was hit while standing up.
"You three better hope nothing bad happens to the room." He said, getting ready to head back in. "I'd hate to be on the original leader's bad side if anything happened to their stuff."
While Weiss and Neptune were sure their former leaders weren't so materialistic, Fox was quivering in fear at the thought of any of Coco's things being destroyed.
"Shoot! This carpet says it's made from Arcadia!" The heard the muffled sounds inside. "How much do you think it's worth in the pawnshop?"
The two new leaders had to carry Fox to the infirmary after he had started foaming at the mouth. Cardin had ran back into the RAWC room to stop anything from being sold or broken since Coco had given him some Arcadian stuff for his corner.
With Ruby, Sun, and Coco
The ice cream shop
"Sweety?" Sun asked his girlfriend. "What are you doing?"
Coco was currently holding a carving pen while scratching some words onto her bullets before putting them on a belt. Ruby was sitting next to her pretending to shoot the gattling gun.
"I'm just preparing the bullets for the people I'll need to shoot when this whole thing is over." She said casually, smirking at her handy work. "We know the RAWC room will be a total mess soon, so I'm preparing a bullet with a name for all the leaders involved in destroying it."
"I wonder if Cardin's handling our absence okay?" The white headed reaper voiced in while still playing with the gun like a toy. "You think he can handle keeping things in line?"
"Doubt it." Sun said truthfully. "I mean, he's okay; but him versus the whole leader group with no backup? Even I need help from Jaune just to take them all down."
"I'm thinking of kicking down the doors of their dorms down while they're in it." Coco told her plan. "I'm putting in the bullets in alphabetical order, so it's a bullet for each of them."
"That's a nice system." Ruby gave her approval. "Yang tried to do something similar in finding some creep, but she just kept shouting 'Where's Francis!' to all the guy's hideouts."
"My name is Coco Adel. You destroyed my heaven. Prepare to die." The fashionista said in a suave tone. "Should I open up with that? Or should I go with: I got a bullet here with your name on it."
"It's hard to pick." Ruby giggled, putting the gun down to drink a milkshake. "What do you think Sun?"
"I wanna go with both." He said with a grin. "When this is all over, I wanna say: I have returned! With a vengeance."
"Wait, wait!" Ruby raised her hands. "I wanna make my own line! …Um. …Oh I got one! You have desecrated my piece of heaven and have opened my wrath. It is now my pleasure to pronounce you… man and scythe. You may now die."
The two older teens applauded the little reaper on her line of death. None were the wiser to the cat faunus and the reaper's sister taking notes on said lines.
The end of the day
As they all met at the table, Neptune and Weiss had to hold in a shriek at seeing Sabre Jaune. When they saw he was wearing his glasses and glaring at Nora, they were even more careful not to tell what happened to the leader's lounge.
Velvet, Scarlet, Yatsuhashi, and Sage were talking with Ren on an idea they had for an upcoming film. It was a tragedy tale about a bunch of people who were turning sick from a Grimm born virus. Their only hope was a young girl that needed to be brought to a specific area where a surviving group will need her blood to make a cure. The only way to get there was with a father who had lost his daughter during the panic. Ren was interested in it, but he still needed to comfort Nora who was still taking the scolding badly.
"So how has your day been?" Blake asked the four new leaders.
"It's been great." Neptune lied with a fake smile. Fox nodded next to him, not daring to look at his team.
"I've gotten a proper feel for today and have an idea of how to make things better." Weiss said, nose pointed in the air.
"I'm still sorry for destroying all your clothes Jaune." Nora apologized once more to the now blue-clad knight. He sighed after hearing the apology again.
"It's fine Nora." He forgave her. "At least you left me something to wear, otherwise I'd have had to run through the halls naked."
'Drats!' The Amazon and the cat faunus thought in disappointment.
"You look just like Sabre now." Ruby teased him. Her day was nothing but fun as she didn't have any worries.
"And you're like a female version of that fake hero." The blonde knight shot back. As the two got into a teasing bout, they were unaware of two angry females glaring at the white haired reaper.
"I don't like New Weiss anymore." Blake muttered, eating her sandwich.
Day 2 – Troubled Waters
Cafeteria- Lunch time
"Alright." Weiss told the other leaders as they met up during a free break between classes. "Yesterday was a setback. We were caught off guard and were completely blindsided. But today we are ready to take control of the situation. Right?"
"Yeah!" Nora pumped a fist in the air. "We'll take them by storm!"
"We'll be successful this time." Neptune said with determination. Fox nodded in agreement while still wearing the shades.
Half an hour later
Fox was quaking in his shoes as his team kept looking to him for answers or some advice/ Looking over to Neptune, he saw that he was writing reports and signing apology letters for his team's antics.
"Being a leader sucks." He whimpered as he took in the sight of the chaotic teams.
Somehow, during their lunch break the three S's of team SSSN had gone off to do their patrols in Vale. Somewhere along the line, police brutality and vehicular abuse was brought back to the bluenette with their chief calling him for a meeting.
Blake had dyed Ruby's hair back into its original color while the little reaper was sleeping the other night. It wasn't because she was jealous she and Jaune looked similar to two characters that some people shipped online. That was silly. She just liked her former leader's red hair, and she was sticking to that statement.
Instead of getting mad, Ruby gave herself a side ponytail instead to show she was still the New Weiss of the team. As she and the cat faunus met up with Jaune and Pyrrha, they were surprised to see him in his Arcadian church uniform. As the two nerds started talking about their change in styles, a particular subject caused the Amazon and kitty to be more wary of Ruby.
Flashback
"What's with the church robes Jaune?" Blake asked the blonde knight. "Shouldn't you be wearing your school uniform?"
"Nora blew up my closet with all my uniforms and clothes, remember?" Jaune groaned while tugging on his sash. "Besides the blue jacket and pants, my acolyte robes were the only other clothing in my locker."
"No one will suspect anything of your lineage, will they?" Pyrrha asked him with concern. His royal status was still kept a secret amongst those who knew.
"It's fine." He waved it off. "Miss Goodwitch bought a few clothes off Arcadia, so I can say she asked me to test out the fabrics by wearing them for a week."
"Y'know." Ruby piped in, looking him up and down. "If you had your sword with you right now, you'd look almost like A**baba from M*gi."
"You think?" Jaune smiled, looking at her too. "Now that I think about it, with the side ponytail and the red hair, you'd be like M**giana."
"I ship the two so hard." As the two started talking about another of their favorite anime, Blake was looking frostily at her former leader while Pyrrha was quivering with a cold feeling in her chest.
End Flashback
The two older females had started talking to Yang about anything she could see between Jaune and Ruby. Yang had kept denying anything was there but complete nerdish friendship. After hours of being asked if she was sure, Yang had snapped saying she didn't care if the two decide to get together.
Besides the fact that she had shouted that statement in the hallways and that it could be misconstrued, gossipers had spread around that Blake and Pyrrha were lesbians for one another and they were trying to console a lesbian Yang who was heartbroken her teammate slash black-haired crush was now taken. Word got around to Yang, and she was furious with the two girls.
Nora was in Goodwitch's office again for bombing the RAWC room with all the leaders sans her friends in there. Ren was being a good friend and was waiting for her scolding to end. And as for Fox himself?
"Fox!" Velvet whined while prodding his arm. "Tell Coco and Yatsu to back off!"
"Oh come on Velvet." Coco teased her teammate. "We know you like him."
"It's very obvious little one." The gentle giant told the bunny.
"Leave me alone!" She cried, using Fox as a shield.
All the while, the leader of team CRDL had been watching the new leaders fail in reining their teammates in and shook his head in disapproval.
Day 3 - Shenanigans
With the Former Leaders
"You know?" Sun said while setting up a giant slingshot. "I think I'm enjoying not being a leader. I've got way more free time than I did before."
"Yeah." Jaune smiled, filling a balloon full of water. "I was able to do all my training and studies with a lot of time to spare."
"You think we're going too far with all this?" Ruby gestured to what they were doing. "I know we're trying to teach them a lesson, but aren't we taking things too far?"
"Nonsense." The monkey faunus waved off. "This is nothing compared to what they did to us."
"And Nora's been digging her own grave without me doing anything." The blonde knight pointed out.
"Less talking more ammo!" Coco shouted, spotting a new target. "I see a fat jogger running in polka dots. I repeat: jogger in polka dots. Ammo. Now!"
After shooting the balloon and nailing the jogger in the head, the four had laughed at the runner's expense.
"That's what you get for dressing that way." Coco shouted down towards the wet man.
"Let me try." Taking her position, Ruby had spotted a new target. Taking aim, she let loose the balloon and rejoiced at seeing the target get hit. "Bullseye!"
"Oh shoot." Sun mumbled, recognizing the latest victim. "I think that was Reggie!"
"A cop?" Coco gasped, looking down to see that true to Sun's words, it was Reggie from VPD. "It's the man! Cheese it!"
Jaune was forever thankful to Blake for helping with his parkour, because they had to jump from rooftop to rooftop to get away from the angry cop. Even though they got away, Reggie had seen their faces and had contacted the chief who called Neptune and Sun in.
Sun was placed on probation, and Neptune had to write apology letters to all Sun's victims in the slingshot affair.
After Weiss got a scolding for not keeping better control of her partner, she had entered her dorm to seeing Yang praising her sister on nailing one to the man. Blake was giving a small thumbs up and was saying how 'New Weiss was the best.'
As for Fox and Nora? Nora was in detention again and Fox had to deal with his teammates arguing again. This time, Yatsuhashi had thrown away one of Velvet's prized pictures by mistake while cleaning the dorm room. Velvet wouldn't tell what the picture was, so it was hard for Fox to figure if it was really important or not.
Day 4 - Realizations
The RAWC room
After Nora had kneecapped all the leaders and instilling fear into them once more, the four temporary leaders had taken the leader's lounge as theirs. Sadly, they couldn't enjoy the victory of the room since their teams were still dysfunctional. Instead of trying to be good leaders and fixing things, the four had opted to wade out the storm until the week was up.
"We can make it." Neptune said hysterically while trembling. "We just need to survive three more days and it's back to normal!"
"How can Ruby even handle Blake and Yang?" Weiss whimpered with bags under her eyes. "Miss Goodwitch has scolded me numerous times now, I've lost count of my days."
"I cant believe the whole team attack naming thing was really part of the leader classes." Nora groaned. "I always thought Jaune was just trying to be his usual goofball self. I mean the team attacks were kind of cool, but I didn't know he'd be graded on our whole team's performance."
"From what Miss Goodwitch has told me, our teams are now the lowest of the low in grades, conduct, strategy, and teamwork in our years." The heiress groaned, remembering her last scolding with the disciplinarian. "How is it that I have fallen so far so quickly? Am I really destined to be a follower instead of a leader?"
"Oh boohoo for you." Fox sniped on the floor. "I didn't even want the position and now my teammates are all disappointed in me. I have to wake up everyday feeling like a sword is hovering over me by a thin string, ready to fall on me. How does Coco even put up with this job?"
"You think you have it bad?" Neptune scoffed at the other male. "Not only am I now in charge of my team the Hunters in training, I'm in charge of my team: The Junior Detectives. Not only do I get harassed by my chief if anything happens to them, I can't sleep when I find out something bad almost happened to them."
As the two males tried to one up one another on who had it worse, Weiss was watching Nora scribble onto a piece of paper with doodles and crude drawings of her team doing some sort of attack. Nora was behind on the leaders assignment and had some catching up to do. Moving closer to see the details, she remembered Ruby doing something similar in the dead of night once.
Flashback
Weiss woke up as she heard her leader giggling over a desk with the lamp on. Trying to ignore her and putting a pillow over her face to get back to sleep, she failed as Ruby started mumbling and giving small giggles. Having enough of it, she had rolled out of bed to see what her leader was doing that it was disturbing her.
"-with this angle, they'll never know what to expect." The little reaper whispered loudly, unaware of who was behind her.
"And what is going on?" Weiss grumbled, grabbing the paper off the table and shocking her leader. Looking at the paper, she saw it was a crude drawing of the team fighting a Beowulf with Weiss's glyphs and Blake, Ruby, and Yang flying through the Grimm. Looking at the right top corner, she saw a title. "Hellcat? You're making a racket to do another attack?"
"Weiss, give it back!" Ruby whispered urgently.
"You'll have enough time for this in the morning." The heiress said, crumpling the drawing and throwing it in the bin. "With enough sleep, you might be able to think of something better."
Not wasting any more of her time needed for sleep, Weiss had trudged off to bed, not noticing the annoyed look Ruby was giving her as she tried to get her drawing back and remaking it on a new sheet.
End Flashback
"Oh." Weiss bit her lip in guilt, connecting the dots in that particular memory.
Now that she thought things through, Ruby had tried to have them perform the maneuver during one of Glynda's combat classes. They never got a chance to do it since she had argued with her leader on the stunt she wanted them to try. They had ended up with a failed mark and she had blamed it on Ruby that day.
"What do you got there Nora?" The heiress asked the not so bubbly leader. It was time to redeem herself, and the best way was through practice with others.
"I'm thinking of a team attack where I have Pyrrha use her semblance to help accelerate Ren while he charges the enemy." Nora explained, showing a crude drawing of Ren surrounded by black squiggly lines and zoom lines while Pyrrha was behind him. "But I'm having trouble thinking of a name. Now I know hw Jaune felt thinking of team attack names."
"Is the name that important?" The glyph user asked with a raised brow. "Wouldn't the effectiveness of the maneuver be more important?"
"Of course the name's important." The pink bomber said indignantly. "Names have power. It's also a requirement that attack names should be less than five syllables or else you get a heavy point deduction."
"…I need to redo my names." Taking out her assignment, Weiss sat with Nora to help with names while thinking of names for herself. "Goodbye Elegant Strike Attack. You were a name that was unwanted in this time."
"Pfft." As the two females helped one another with their assignments, they hadn't noticed a certain muscular teen filming them with his scroll to send to the former leaders.
Day 5- Mending Bridges
"Good morning Weiss." Ruby sang while fixing her uniform. She had decide to go without the side ponytail today.
"Morning Ruby." The heiress greeted back with a raised brow. "You're not going to try and be New Weiss today?"
"Meh." The little reaper shrugged. "It lost it's fun a few days ago. Plus I was getting tired of being called New Weiss."
"That's great." Wess smiled in relief. She was also getting tired of people saying New Weiss was the best. Shaking her head, Weiss swallowed her pride of what she was about to do. "So …Ruby."
"So …Weiss." She rolled her eyes at her former leader's playfulness.
"I wanted to…" Weiss could feel something stuck in her throat at what she was trying to say. "Apolo-hugh! I'm trying to say I s-warlery. …I'm thrrrvy."
"Eh… what?" Ruby knew what Weiss was trying to say, but the sounds she was making was getting weirder.
"I'm trying to say…" Taking deep breath, Weiss broke whatever was blocking her from saying the magic words. "I. Am. Sorry. …I'm sorry I took you for granted when you were our leader and I see now how frustrating we all must be at times. It's a really hard position and I- GUAH!"
Weiss never got to finish her speech as Ruby had zipped over to spin her in a tight hug. "Aww! I forgive you. I'm just glad you finally understand how I've felt for a while now."
"Does that mean you can take you're role as leader back?" The white haired teen dared to hope.
"Sorry Weiss, but when we gave up our leadership for a week, we also signed a legal binding contract with Miss Goodwitch that it'll stay like this until the seven days are up." Somewhere deep inside her, Weiss was crying. "But don't worry. I'm going to try and help you survive these hectic days."
It wasn't what she was hoping for, but Weiss would take all the help that she could get. "So can you help me get Blake and Yang to start talking to one another again?"
"…Yeeeeeeaaaah." Ruby said awkwardly. She was one of the many that believed her sister was batting for the other team. "…Maybe. …Why don't I help you with the other stuff first?"
By the end of the day, Yang and Blake had sorted their problems out. While still suspicious of Ruby and Jaune's relationship, Blake's conviction to get to him first was snuffed out by Ruby's want to be friends again.
With Nora
"And I was hoping that we could try this new team attack I like to call Shockwave!" Nora jumped around the Arcadian prince. He was in his robes since he wore the blue jacket the other day.
"That sounds painful on my end." Jaune told her, not looking from his comic. "How do you know it'll even work?"
"Um… because you're Jaune?" She answered weakly.
"And you're Nora." He fired back casually. "We've already established that."
"Aww come on." She begged, trying to roll him. "I need your full cooperation on this! My leadership grade is on the line."
"Just wing it." Not liking that answer, Nora had hoisted him up in a fireman carry. "Eh?"
"We are going to do this whether you like it or not!" She shouted manically. The two other members were staring at the spectacle with some form of amusement.
"…I need an adult." The blonde muttered, looking at his other teammates.
"I am an-"
"No!" Jaune caught the bubbly leader off. "No, you are not."
Training area
"Alright Jaune!" Nora shouted, hoisting her hammer high in the air. "Shockwave!"
As the hammer descended down fast, the blonde knight had rolled out of the way to see a smoking crater where his foot was. Looking to his leader, he saw she was sporting an angry and impatient look on her face.
"Why'd you dodge?" She stomped a foot. "All you have to do is let me hit your shield."
"I'm not letting that happen because of pain." He answered back. As the two started arguing, a thought had popped into his mind. "How is Shockwave even supposed to symbolize us?"
"Uh, duh!" Nora scoffed at his ignorance. "I bring the shock and you bring the wave. Shockwave!"
"And how do I bring a wave?" He shot back. "Am I supposed to wave my hands in the air or something?"
"The wave is your symbol!" The pink bomber answered impatiently while pointing to the symbol on his shield.
"That's not even my symbol Nora." He pointed out. "And it's actually a rainbow, not a wave."
"Then what is your symbol?" She asked turning red in the face.
"I would have shown you, but you destroyed all my clothes that had it." He grumbled, reminding her of her past mistakes.
Instead of losing it and going on a rampage, she had dropped her hammer and had sunk into the floor. As Jaune walked closer to her, he saw that she was crying a bit.
"This stinks." Her voice muffled through the floor. "I liked it better when I wasn't leader. It's hard, and boring, and hard, and its too much work. And it's really really hard!"
"And this is just a week of it." He pointed out, sitting next to her. "Imagine doing things like this every time a new week starts."
"How are you still alive?" She asked, pushing herself off the ground. "You have to do extra trainings with Blake and Pyrrha and do all this leader homework with the regular homework. And you also have time to hangout with all of us? How do you do it?"
"Really …I don't know." He shrugged, stopping himself from laughing as she plummeted back into the ground at that statement. "Like you said: Ren's a ninja, you can bench five of you, Pyrrha's a renowned fighter …and I'm me."
"Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a leader." The not so bubbly leader groaned into the ground.
Looking at her, Jaune saw a part of himself the time Cardin had been blackmailing him. Remembering the advice he was given, he thought it might be useful to her.
"Well, I cant really say you're a great leader." He cringed at seeing her somehow dig her face deeper into the ground. "You weren't much of a leader when this whole thing started …or the days that followed."
Nora was now at the point where she was half buried into the floors.
"But that doesn't matter now." He continued. "From the advice I was told, it's not all about you anymore. You got a team now, and we need you to lead us properly. …I'll leave you here to think on it."
As Jaune left, Nora had contemplated what he said. Going back on what she had done as leader, she recalled that all her actions were meant only for herself. Going over Jaune's actions, she remembered the good he had done for all of them as a team. When he was leader, Goodwitch hadn't scolded them as much as she did now and they all had fun training together.
Standing up to look where Jaune had left, Nora had decided to do the one thing she swore she would never do with her buddy Ren. She would join him in meditation.
In the courtyard
"Focus Nora." The green ninja ordered his childhood friend. When she came to him asking to join him, he was expecting more of her chatting while he zoned her out. It was a surprise when she asked to join him. "Find your train of thought and stick to it. Nothing else matters then."
Sighing, Nora had closed her eyes once more to think of something. Thinking of her responsibilities, it was changed to pancakes and all the sweets while sitting on a soft bed instead. She was starting to get too comfortable in her new focus.
THWACK!
Opening her eyes to the feeling of something hitting her in the back of her head, she turned around to a green apple rolling behind her with her buddy still in his meditative stance.
"Did you just throw an apple to my head?" Grabbing the apple, she demolished it in a few seconds while still savoring the taste. "Where'd you even get it?"
"Focus." He breathed calmly. "And don't try to fall asleep next time."
Closing her eyes once more, the bubbly leader remembered the times Jaune was leader and the advice she gave her. It was starting to get boring for her, but she focused on it and ignored everything else.
'It's not just about you anymore Nora.' Mindscape Jaune's voice echoed in her head. For some reason, this Jaune had brown robes on and was glowing blue. 'We need you to show us the way.'
'How do I do that?' She asked him.
'You're the leader, Nora.' He told her. 'You make the way for us to follow. Don't just make it yours. Make it ours.'
'I make the way ours?' As Obi-Jaune disappeared after giving her a nod, Nora opened her eyes feeling things were a bit clearer to her now.
"Lightbulb." She said with a smile. Turning to her childhood friend who was still in is relaxed stance, she gave him a hug before standing up to leave. "I know what to do Ren. And it's not crazy this time."
Not giving him time to answer, Nora had run off to her dorm room to fix her mistakes. If she had looked even longer, she would have noticed that Ren was actually asleep where he sat.
Team JNPR dorm
"Boom!" Nora barged into the room with the door wide open.
"Eek!" Sadly, she had opened it to enthusiastically to notice that it was locked and that Pyrrha was in the middle of putting Jaune's used blue jacket on. "Nora!"
"No time for that." The pink bomber brushed her off, as she looked the room over for the blonde knight who was not present. "Drats. Not here."
Before she left, she had something to say to the Amazon. "I know you like him and all, but that's still creepy in its own way."
As she left, Pyrrha shook off the embarrassment to go back to what she was doing. Imagining Jaune was holding her tightly.
"I don't mind the smell, sweety." She cooed, rubbing the sleeves tenderly. "Why yes, I have been going on a new diet. Do you like it?"
Back with Nora
"Where is that guy?" She mumbled to herself. Opening team RWBY's door, she had barged in on Blake wrapping Jaune's robe sash around her. "…Where are you two getting his clothes?"
"It's not what it looks like!" The cat faunus shouted with a red face. "This is… a sash I got myself from Arcadia. Yeah. I'm sticking to that."
"I don't care." Nora said bluntly. "I'm looking for the guy himself for something important. You seen him?"
"Have you tried the caf-" Blake never got to finish as Nora had bolted out. "-eteria?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Blake locked the doors before she went back to what she was doing. Re-enacting a scene from her book.
"For this night." Blake whispered dramatically, pretending the sash was Jaune's arms. "Let me stay in your arms. I'm getting wet from the rain."
The cafeteria
Nora was successful in finding her target in the cafeteria. He was in the middle of having a guy time with team SSSN and Coco.
"-nobody noticed at all that it happened." Jaune told the group who was laughing at one of his stories.
Nora didn't know what they were talking about, but it must have been funnier than the fat stripper tale. Shaking her head, she focused on what she needed him for.
"Jaune!" She ran up to him. Not giving him time to answer, she had hoisted him in a fireman carry like before to bring him to the training area once more. "I got it right this time. We're making a team attack, and it'll be our way."
"…What?" Instead of just watching the bubbly leader take their friend away, team SSSN and Coco had followed to see what she had planned.
Training area
"I'm sorry." Nora apologized to team SSSN. The four men were currently nursing cut wounds and a few bruises. "I had no idea that the shield would bounce like that."
"So Shockwave II." Jaune said after prying his shield out of the wall. "I think we should use it as a last resort. Or at least until we can get the control better."
Nora's first Shockwave idea was to hit Jaune's shield as hard as possible to make a sonic boom. Jaune was against it since for the plan to work, Jaune would have to be as strong or stronger than Nora to absorb all the impact without breaking under it. Since he wasn't, he'd probably break all his limbs if he went along with it. Shockwave II was more of a new projectile method where Nora would use Jaune's shield as some sort of ricocheting Frisbee of death after smacking it with her hammer. She got her result, but it was too affective to the point Jaune couldn't catch his shield since it's angles were too unpredictable. Coco was smart enough to duck for cover, but team SSSN had panicked and got nicked trying to dodge the flying projectile until one of the sharp ends had finally lodged itself into the wall.
"We'll call it Shockwave for short." She nodded. "Be ready for a team meeting after dinner. I have a few more ideas that I want to go over with you guys."
"Aye aye captain." Jaune saluted, following the others out. Turning back, he saw Nora was looking over the damages to the room.
"Looks like your leader is finally learning." Sun nudged his fellow blonde.
"Nora's a smart girl." He commented. "She's just got too much energy. Have her focus that energy into something and you'll be surprised."
"Spoken like a true leader." Coco patted him on the head. "It took the chief giving the blue wonder some more punishment until he got into his head what to do."
As for the other leader, Fox had grown a backbone after his argument with Neptune. It was still strange for all of them to see a short guy like fox talking down to an ashamed guilty Yatsuhashi after he was being a slob in their dorm. It was made more apparent when he told Velvet off for taunting the giant while he was being scolded.
"It was about time too." The monkey faunus sighed in relief. "I was afraid they'd go through the whole thing not doing anything."
"Eh. We could've fixed it." The fashionista shrugged. "It's not like we had to go into a Grimm hunt anytime, right?"
Day 6 – Field Tests
"Futterwhacken!" Nora shouted to her team as they tried to take down a Boarbatusk loose in the streets of Vale.
"What are you saying?" Pyrrha asked, jumping out of the way as the pig monster had sped in her direction.
"It's you're attack with Ren!" She shouted back, shifting her hammer into grenade launcher mode. Firing a round, she was happy to see that the beast was now on it's side. "Forget it! Just stab it's belly quick guys!"
Nodding at the command, the three teammates with sharp and pointy weapons had stabbed the rampaging Grimm until it had started dissolving.
"We really need to talk on your naming, Nora." Her childhood friend commented after wiping off any dust on his pants.
"Bite me!" She pouted with a glare. "You try thinking of a cool codename for you and Pyrrha."
"…Red Storm, Bronze Green, Spear Guns, -" The ninja was silenced as Nora clapped a hand on his mouth.
"Okay!" She grumbled. "Maybe you could have thought of more."
"I'd just like to point out that it's a javelin and not a spear." Pyrrha voiced in while pointing to her javelin.
"Ugh!" Nora grumbled, running a hand through her face. "I bet Weiss doesn't have to put up with this."
With Weiss on the other side of Vale
"Let's all do this together guys!" The heiress shouted as they went up against a Goliath. "Just stick to the plan and-"
"Every gal for herself!" Yang shouted, shooting her gauntlets down to give her an extra jump boost to get on the giant elephant Grimm.
"What? NO!" Turning to Blake, Weiss saw that she had joined in running ahead to wrap the Grimm's legs up. "That's not going to work without the proper strength needed!"
"Don't worry Weiss!" Ruby patted her on the shoulder. "We'll just flank it while the two distract it up front."
"But the plan was -"
"Good but never goes the same way in real life." Ruby finished for her while leading her to the back. "It's all about adapting to your team's actions and going from there."
"Grrr!" Swallowing her anger, Weiss had observed the two wild cards on her team. "Yang! Keep hitting it long enough for Blake to get a good tie around it's legs. Once she's done, help her pull it's legs together."
"Gotcha!" After punching the Grimm long enough for Blake to finish, Yang had helped in pulling on the ribbon for the Grimm to topple down and destroying a building in it's fall. "All yours now!"
"Ice Flower!" After covering the Grimm in enough ice to freeze it to it's center, Weiss called out for the final attack. "Follow with Bumblebee!"
There was something strange in finding beauty as Yang had punched the frozen Grimm into sparkling snowflakes falling in the streets. Weiss had to stop Ruby from trying to catch a piece with her tongue.
"We'll stick to the plan next time, I hope." The heiress called out to her team. "The original plan was so we don't do any more collateral damage like now!"
"Yeah, yeah." Yang muttered, looking for the tusk. "Now help me find the tusk. I want one hanging over my bed post like Nora's."
"You're not finding one Yang." Blake told her, wondering f she remembered that Grimm parts disappear.
"Not with that attitude."
"…Lets just go and find more stray Grimm." Ruby followed behind Weiss while commenting on some of the things that were good.
With Neptune
"Why'd it have to be here." Neptune whimpered as he stuck to a corner of a fence.
The chief had gotten a call that a King Taijitu had slithered into the public pools. Since team SSSN were also hunters, they were sent in VPD's name to take care of it. Neptune was confident that the snake wouldn't be near the waters. He was scare witless when he found out that it was lying in the pool that was filled to the brim with water.
"Neptune!" Sun called out to him as he dodged a swipe from a King Taijitu. "We could really use some help right about now!"
"I'm fine shooting it from here." He called back while shooting the snake's heads from his spot. "No need for me to get near there."
"I know you're afraid of the water, but it's just a pool!" Scarlet shouted out as he swung around the snakes.
"You're the only one with freeze and lightning attacks here!" Sage pointed out while trying to get a good vantage point with his sword.
"Still not happening!" He screamed sweating in fear. "I've seen those giant snake movies. It'll drag me down then eat me!"
"Fine!" Sun lost his temper at his leader's stupidity. "Just give me the stupid trident thing and turn the electricity on! You two step back!"
After getting the trident, Sun had chucked it into the water and watched as the snake started spazzing around wildly like those inflatable waving tube men in those car sales before they crashed down into the pool and made a huge wave splashing all of them.
"AAAAAAAH!" Scarlet would always regret being too slow to record the sight of the intellectual of the team screaming like a girl after water splashed on him. "…This doesn't have to go on our report, does it?"
With Fox
"Are all of you just going to stand there while I gun this horde down?" Coco growled while firing her weapon on the hordes of Beowulves rushing toward them. "I'm going to run out of bullets some time you know."
"And we got your back when you do." Fox nodded, seeing the numbers dwindle to five left. "Like right now."
After taking care of the Grimm, Coco had commented that this would be on her report to Glynda much to Fox's dismay.
By the end of the day, the four leaders would be trying to one up one another on who lead their team better against their assigned Grimm.
Final Day – The review
The four temporary leaders had been called into Goodwitch's office in the middle of their break. They were expecting to see the disciplinarian, but they were also surprised to see Cardin Winchester standing next to her as they entered.
"As you four know, this is the last day of your times as leaders." She started. "During your time, I've taken some notes on how you performed and how well they stacked up to your original leaders. I must say …you didn't do as horribly as I thought you would."
"Excuse me ma'am." Weiss raised her hand while looking to Cardin. "But why is he here? He wasn't part of any of it."
"That's where you're wrong Schnee." Cardin answered for Glynda. "When the four switched places with you guys, they needed another overseer for when Miss Goodwitch couldn't see you. I was told to observe you guys and give you some help when needed. But I had to make it so that you all would do things yourselves in the long run."
"Woah!" Nora said in awe. "So being a leader is like a spy thing too? Have we four only scratched the surface of the power that leadership has? Is the RAWC room only just a disguise to another room which holds unfathomable riches that our leaders had? And what about 'leader's time?' Is it a code word for secret missions? THIS EXPLAINS SO-"
"That's enough Miss Valkyrie." The blonde disciplinarian stopped her. "Getting back on topic, Mister Winchester had given me his review on you all. While you didn't get off to a good start, you four had done well as the days progressed. Adding both our reviews together, you have all passed marginally well."
"So does this go on our record as extra credit or something?" The bluenette asked, hoping for some perks for passing.
"Yes." She nodded. "You four do get an award."
He four had immediately perked up at hearing an award. "As of now, you four are now deemed as the Vice Captains of your teams. As such when your leader is absent from your group, all responsibility falls onto you."
They had deflated at their reward. Cardin had turned away to hide the grin on his face.
"Do we still get to use the RAWC room?" Fox asked, looking for a silver lining.
"The room is reserved for leaders. Not their vices." There was no hope. "But you are all now allowed to join in on the leader's meets."
"They have a leader's meets?" Weiss questioned. "Why didn't we go to one during our time?"
"Because we went to one the other week." Cardin pointed out. "…Fun time too. Meet leaders from other schools, get a few numbers, and exchange tactics. Those kinds of things."
"Boo!" Nora said with a thumbs down. "We can do that on our own."
"Mister Winchester failed to mention that it also holds special events from food catering to small games in a different venue." Glynda added, enjoying a few of those meets herself. "Where was the last meet Mister Winchester?"
"Night swimming in the public pools." Cardin would never forget to seeing team NDGO's Nebula and team ABRN's Arslan walking in the moonlight in their bikinis. "…What a magical time."
Weiss had remembered a few times when Ruby said she had gone off to her leaders meets. Replaying a few things back, she remembered her coming back either a bit too drenched or covered in leaves and dirt looking a bit sweaty with traces of food on her face.
She wasn't the only ones remembering things as the other three connected the dots. After they were excused, the four were happy that nothing eventful had happened since the teams were taking a break from Grimm slaying.
Back to normal
The RAWC founders were currently walking through the dorms with their combat clothes on. Cardin was lagging behind them while holding a clipboard in hand. After looking at a few doors, he had called one of them over to stand in front of it. After they were all stationed, the four had kicked down the doors to see the other leaders still lying in bed.
Sun
"What the-?" Before one of them could shout, Sun had placed a hand over his mouth.
"I'm back bitch." He whispered menacingly. "With a vengeance."
Coco
"W-what's going on?" A dog faunus leader whimpered as Coco blocked his exit. In her hand, he could make out a bullet with his name carved into it.
"My name is Coco Adel." She said suavely that made him blush as she put the bullet into her gun. "You ruined my heaven. Prepare to die."
Ruby
The ginger leader in the room couldn't say anything since he was too scared to say anything. All he could do was tremble as Ruby steeped to him slowly with her scythe out.
"You have desecrated my piece of heaven and have opened my wrath." She said in her The Rose voice. "It is now my pleasure to pronounce you… man and scythe. You may now die."
Jaune
No words needed to be said as Jaune entered the dorm of the fourth year that sucker-punched Cardin. After getting his new uniforms, Ruby had helped him create his Arcwitch outfit again. Glaring at the leader that helped in ruining their lounge, Jaune shut the door behind him slowly. As it clicked, it was similar to a needle dropping in a puddle and making a ripple.
Outside
"AAaaaaaaaah!" It was music to Cardin's ears as the four wreaked havoc on the leaders.
"It's good to have them back." He smiled while checking off the doors on the clipboard. It was going to be a long day, but he wasn't complaining. "Now who's next on the list?"
END
AN: OW! This is like thirty one pages. It took me a long time to try and balance out the new leaders and the ole ones. But dang! Whew!
Anyways!
That's the chapter. I should probably tell you guys this, but Those Days will be ending soon. Maybe in three more chapters or five. I just feel like I shouldn't let this thing run too long, you know what I mean? The metal gear chapter and the other movies and games will be put into a new story, so don't be disappointed. And if you all have seen my profile, there is a plan for Velvet to get her very own story. Look forward to it.
In lighter news:
NEXT TIME ON Those Days:
"Geez!" Neptune grumbled, kicking his radio down. "You think that people would've had enough of love songs."
"What's wrong with that?" Sage asked, flipping through the channels.
"Well, nothing at all." The bluenette muttered, scratching his neck. "It's just sort of annoying hearing a consecutive amount you know."
"Welp!" Scarlet barged into the room in a new outfit looking extremely nervous. "Here I go again!"
"Dude. That's the fifth time you've said that." The bulky person of the team said. "You've said that a lot of times, but you keep changing your mind."
"Well this time I mean it?" The red heed of the group said with a smile. "I finally got my confidence up high."
"What're you even going to say?" Neptune asked before changing his accent to mimic a certain bunny. "Hey Scarlet? How you going?"
Yup! It's Bunny Pirate chapter. Now that I think about it, they're both named after colors. Didn't notice until I kept replaying their names in my head. Expect a lot of love song references and some other stuff. The next thing to be updated will be NoL: Blake's version.
