chapter 24
As the Tournament went on the Reds and Blues kept up there guard duty, patrolling the fair grounds, Simmons had drawn up a chart for them to take shifts and what sectors they would patrol, Wash's family was at the fair grounds so on his breaks he spent time with them, his father was not allowed to join, but this time Tucker joined him, he decided he'd ask the question now ''alright, hear's one question I've been meaning to ask Wash, now that his family's hear I'll ask'' said Tucker.
''ok shoot'' said Wash.
''you and Carolina, you like her?'' asked Tucker.
Wash was silent trying to find his words, ''thank you I've been meaning to ask the same question'' said Faith ''so what are your feelings for Carolina?''
all the people at the table gathered around all steered at Wash grinning, he was trapped now, even Hope was getting in on this ''well Wash?'' they all asked.
Wash sighed ''fine, yes I fancy her''
''yes I knew it!'' cheered Tucker ''so come on whats stopping you''
''yeah come on little bro, you use to be so confident about asking a girl out, what did you use to say when you were Jaune?'' asked Faith.
''Faith please no, not in front of Tucker'' pleaded Wash.
''Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls of the tong ladies love it'' said Faith.
Wash looked down as Tucker started to laugh, when Tucker stopped laughing he said ''dude that is gold! so come one where that confidence?''
''well, there was York, her past lover, I don't think she's moved on past him and well... look I was at the bottom of the leaderboard in the Freelancer days'' said Wash.
''oh god is that what this is about your placement on a board that doesn't matter anymore and the fact she has a dead boyfriend'' said Tucker.
''well yeah, look I don't know what to say to her Tucker!'' cried Wash.
''don't worry Wash I will take you under my wing and teach you how to do it'' said Tucker ''class is in progression and the teachers me Professor Fuck''
''no one of us is already teacher I don't want us all to teach classes'' said Wash.
''pfff what would Caboose and Grif teach?'' asked Tucker.
''you have a point Caboose would most likely just dumb the kids down and Grif would be too lazy to teach anything'' said Wash.
''wait one of you is a teacher?'' asked Joan.
''oh yeah, Sarge is a teacher now'' said Wash.
''oh, hows his class going?'' asked Joan.
Wash smirked and looked up (you know the look Emerald gave in V3E1)
-A WEEK AGO-
the Class walked in ready for there new teacher, they had been informed by Ozpin that there would be a new teacher coming in to replace one of the old ones who had retired ''oh I wonder what they're like'' squealed Ruby quietly.
''well I hope he's at least qualified and we don't get another Port who cannot stop bragging about himself and what he did'' scoffed Weiss.
''oh come on Weiss I'm sure he's pretty good'' said Yang.
''hello class'' said Sarge walking in ''I am professor Sarge and I will be your new teacher''
''wait your name is Sarge?'' asked one of the students.
''yes son it is, military, you see I was born and raised in the military and pappy always told me that you should always dress for the job you want, so I took it a name further and changed the name to Sarge'' explained Sarge ''now lets take a roll call''
As Sarge started to take the roll Team RWBY started to whisper to one another ''what's he doing hear?'' whispered Weiss.
''I don't know'' hissed Ruby ''maybe he's an actual teacher''
''Ruby we all spent time with the man does he seem like a teacher to you?'' asked Blake.
''fair point'' stated Ruby.
''maybe he's covering until they get a teacher'' whispered Blake.
''alright, now if the girls at the front are done with there pillow talk its time to get to the subject of this class'' said Sarge finishing off the roll call ''science''
''do you know anything about science?'' asked Blake.
''I know more than you do missy, I made Simmons into a cyborg, though he does occasionally shoot himself in the foot, I preformed surgery on Grif and I have built multiple robots'' stated Sarge ''now we will start with the human body, now the human body is split into four sections, the chest, the head, the arms and legs and the groin''
''oh god'' groaned Weiss.
''now the section that the arms and legs take up is on both sides at the lower and upper part of the body, these sections hold up the body for the most part'' said Sarge ''now to the Chet, this are is reserved for digestion''
''wait the chest is reserved for the heart and the lungs and all that, the stomach is reserved for digestion'' said Yang.
''detention!'' said Sarge suddenly.
''wha- why?'' asked Yang indignantly.
''talking back to a superior, speaking out in class, back talking, talking in class, talking without raising a hand'' said Sarge.
''that's unfair'' said Ruby.
''very well then we will hold trial to see if Yang is Innocent, in my civilian life I served many years as a judge and I will be the prosecution'' said Sarge.
''wait that's not fair!'' said Blake.
''life isn't fair and for speaking up to the judge you get detention too'' said Sarge.
''what!'' cried Blake.
''as a team I can say we don't adhere to the notion of the court'' said Ruby.
''the court would not care what convicted criminals think'' stated Sarge.
''wait isn't she innocent until proven guilty?'' asked Weiss.
''no why would we hold trials for innocent people, that is a waste of time and resources'' said Sarge.
''but nobody's guilty until you hold trial and convict them'' said Ruby.
''so you admit it'' said Sarge.
'''wait what, no I mean- yeah- but- no- that is-'' Weiss stuttered and flopped around.
''you know what I'm taking Wash's training style to heart, you've all got detention for months'' said Sarge causing everyone to groan or just squak indignantly ''now say thanks Team RWBY''
''thanks Team RWBY'' said the class with venomous voices, Cardin gave a hearty laugh causing Sarge to turn to him.
"and an extra month thanks to mr. Winchester" stated Sarge, everyone glared at Cardin too, Cardin snorted and Sarge turned his attention to him ''boy have you got a death wish!?''
''heh, this schools turning into a joke, I mean Oobleck is high on coffee, Port doesn't stop babbling and then there you a senile old fart'' sneered Cardin, the class was hushed.
''boy get down hear now!'' Sarge snarl, the class gulped, Cardin obviously couldn't tell how deep of a grave he just dug and smugly swaggered over to Sarge.
Sarge took off his helmet and slammed it down on the desk with such force that the coffee cup he had just brought in fell off the desk and broke ''now say that to my face boy!'' growled Sarge.
''oh sure I'll say everything I need to say'' sneered Cardin.
''pick your words now, very, very carefully!'' growled Sarge.
''oh I'll say what I want to say about you old man, about your failure leader, about your nerd sidekick, about that gay loser, about that freak, about that fat tub of lard, about that-''
what came next can only be described as a one way beat down, Cardin tried to fight back and boy was that a foolish move, if anything Sarge just beat him even harder.
it started when Sarge punched Cardin and then tackled him, Cardin rolled back up but sarge ran in and punched Cardin in the face twice, Cardin made a jab at Sarge, but Sarge easily dodged and punched Cardin in the stomach winding Cardin before he grabbed Cardin and overarm threw him, Cardin crashed onto Ruby and Weiss's desk and rolled off, he then got up and made another jab at Sarge, this time Sarge blocked and punched Cardin in the face again, before grabbing his head and smashing his face into Blake and Yang's desk a few times who just watched in horror, Sarge then threw Cardin into one of the windows that easily broke, he laid on the ground for a bit before getting up and trying to punch Sarge again.
Sarge caught Cardin's fist and the whole class heard as the bones cracked, Sarge then let go and left kicked Cardin into another desk, before beating on him a few more times, before Sarge smashed into the roof and started to punch his croch and stomach before dropping Cardin down, Sarge then kneed Cardin in the face knocking him down and out.
''be happy I don't have my shotgun boy!'' growled Sarge stomping down on Cardin's face so hard his nose shattered ''but hey look on the bright side, your flunking my class in knowledge and skill, but your top of the class at getting your ass kicked''
Sarges gaze then turned to the rest of CRDL who froze as he looked at them ''team CRDL, thanks to your leader who is the best I'm guessing, I now know how much the rest of you suck'' said Sarge ''you'll all be doing push ups while you write your notes, for every one of my classes, I'll tell ya when to stop cupcakes'' said Sarge, RDL too scared to argue just started doing as they were told.
''anyone else got something they wanna share?'' asked Sarge ''we having a speak your mind session? ANYONE ELSE WANNA INSULT ME, INSULT MY TEAM, INSULT MY UNIT INSULT THIS SCHOOL! ANYBODY!''
''no sir'' everyone said quickly.
Sarge nodded before getting back to teaching ''now back to the lesson, now the head is reserved for-''
-NOW-
''pretty good'' Wash shrugged giving a little smirk, Sarge's classes were a hit after the Cardin incident, everyone could tell he had a real passion and he told the class how to make his incredibly complicated machinery that he'd make for fun even though there was a simpler solution to a problem, the class had even started trying to think outside the box when it came to simple stuff.
Some of the kids Cardin use to bully started talking in a southern accent, surprisingly it scared Cardin, Wash was guessing Sarge beat him that savagely that a primordial fear had been born inside of him.
''ARC!'' cried a voice, they all turned to see Cardin.
''oh hey girly'' smirked Wash ''it's Washington now by the way''
''remember your little, request'' growled Cardin.
''you mean the one where I got you to admit internationally that you were a girl?'' asked Wash ''yeah I remember it, you been kissing the boys lately?''
These comments caused his mother to bite her lip and his sisters and Tucker sniggered, Wash then took note to see how badly Cardin's face was messed up, it was like a mummy's face ''man I heard Sarge messed you up, but man did he mess you up! must drive all the guys away I know I'm turned off'' said Wash.
''I have challenged you to a tournament Duel!'' declared Cardin shaking a bit from hearing Sarge's name.
''whats that?'' whispered Tucker to Faith.
''you can declare a duel during the vital festival, this duel is between two warriors or there two teams and will be shown to all of Remnant, Cardin declaring this duel means he's challenging Wash to a fight'' whispered Justice, Tucker stood up at that.
''Bring it on I bet Wash can take you easily!'' cried Tucker.
''oh we'll see'' grinned Cardin.
''can I bring selective members of my team or just one on one?'' asked Wash.
''my team against your team'' said Cardin striding off.
''please let me join in on the ass kicking, please, please'' pleaded Tucker.
-LINE BREAK-
Later in the arena Team CRDL strode into the ring, all of them smug, they were all confident that they could win, sure they had heard of what the Reds and Blues had done, but they were thinking that it was mostly just exaggeration and they were mostly just idiots.
The Reds and Blues plus Locus strutted out ''alright remember and stick to the plan'' ordered Wash, the team nodded at the remark.
''alright, we will now get the field in position'' stated Port.
Cardin grinned at Wash as this started, nobody would mock him after this! after he defeated the Reds and Blues!
Wash smirked behind his helmet though, he was confident that his team would win, there was no contest between CRDL and the Reds and Blues, they'd win this easily!
The field changed and behind the Reds and Blues were mountains ''good just what we needed'' said Wash, the field on CRDL's side was Savannah.
"this will not be an easy battle for team CRDL as they are out numbered four to eleven, how will the odds play out" said Oobleck.
"Alright everyone- GO!" Cried Port.
team CRDL charged in order to attack the Reds and Blues, who just got into position and started to open fire, except Donut and Locus who fired grappling hooks and started to climb the mountain, they were all using the paint pellets used in Freelancer days, they started to fire upon then, causing them to split and try to take cover only there was minimal cover in the savannah ''those idiots do realise they could just hide in there and then we'd have to flush them out right?'' asked Carolina.
''eh there not smart enough'' said Wash simply.
''I know I've seen there grades, there atrocious!'' said Sarge shivering.
''Wash I'm in position'' called Donut.
''go on the bombard them'' said Wash and on his orders, blue streaks started to shoot to CRDL's side forcing them to run all over ''now split and take them down''
the Reds and Blues followed orders chasing down one member of CRDL after another, Cardin looked to the mountain ''were losing ground!'' he cried.
''Losing ground?!'' laughed Wash ''oh cardie boy that implies you had ground to being with''
''he's stupid Agent Washington'' said Caboose.
''yes Caboose he is stupid'' said Wash.
''Dove take out there grenadier, we'll handle the rest of them'' said Cardin, Dove nodded and ran off, making the job even easier, now it was Cardin vs. Wash and Sarge, Russell vs. Tucker, Doc, Lopez and Lark Vs. Carolina, Caboose, Grif and Simmons.
Russell charged at Doc thinking he'd be the easiest as Lopez fire a barrage of bullets from his machine gun hands, but as Russel made his move Doc split into two of him, they both the punched Russell in the face ''ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, this is the perfect semblance to leave behind my weak wimpy side for another body!'' cackled O'mally before pulling out his rocket launcher.
''hey if were doing show and tell semblances'' said Tucker drawing his sword and it burst into a bright light before Tucker made a slashing motion shooting out a slash beam thing, Russel quickly dodged but the slash beam still passed him and cut down a considerable about of his aura ''whoo sword beams, now face it kid your outnumbered and outgunned'' said Tucker as Lopez marched up behind Russell.
Russell then quickly threw one of his knives at Lopez decapitating him ''oh no, Lopez!'' cried Doc.
Lopez's body got up and punched Russell straight in the face knocking him out ''guess that's called getting a 'head' of the game'' said Tucker before hearing someone shout 'hey puns are my thing!'
''(well that worked better than expected)'' said Lopez picking up his head and putting it back on his shoulders.
meanwhile the battle against Lark was not going so well, he was easily the smartest and had hit in the Savannah and was taking pot shots at them, they had all hid behind Grif who's Semblance was to control his density so he could make himself bullet proof, Carolina quickly jumped in front of Grif though as a laser shot was fired, she was hit but she was fine.
''wait what just happened?'' asked Simmons.
''oh my semblance is to absorb energy from energy attacks and some other things and power up, I become stronger and faster for a limited time, I do have a limit, but once it hit that limit something really special happens... or at least I think it does'' said Carolina.
''wait, Carolina can you absorb explosions?'' asked Simmons.
''yeah why?'' asked Carolina.
''cause I think we all want to see you at full power'' said Simmons getting to the radio ''Donut quick throw some grenades at me!''
''what?'' asked Donut.
''just do it, four at the most'' ordered Simmons, four blue streaks then headed for Simmons, but then Simmons held his hand up and they stopped in there tracks before Simmons made a motion and they all flew towards Carolina, all of them exploding Carolina absorbed all the explosions and then her hair burst into flames and she started to glow bright red and orange before firing a power beam, which obliterated the Savannah showing where Lark was.
''whoa did I do that?'' asked Carolina.
''alright now lets- Caboose what are you doing?'' asked Simmons as Caboose was just firing randomly.
''shooting I thought that was what we were doing'' said Caboose.
''no Caboose were trying to fight this guy'' said Simmons.
''oh I got it'' said Caboose, before running up and punching him, but this punch sent Lark flying across the stadium taking him out by knockout and ring out.
''hell yeah!'' cheered Simmons.
''that was Awesome!'' cheered Grif.
Meanwhile Donut, was peeping his next set of Grenades, until he noticed something ''wait where's the other one?'' he asked.
''right hear'' said a smug voice, Donut turned to see Dove swaggering towards him, sword in hand, ready to take Donut on.
''ah Locus help!'' cried Donut, he was mostly good at long range really could do close range.
Donut dodged Doves sword, then when Dove went for another slash Donut caught the sword in clapping motion, holding it tight as Dove tried to pull the sword back, Donut eventually let go of the sword and Dove grinned, this was easy, he was about to make another sword slash, but then an announcement came.
''oh it appears Private Donut is ready to use his semblance'' said Port.
''what?'' said Dove confused.
''yes Private Donut and refuse to call him that's Semblance is to prime and detonate by charging his aura into any object'' stated Oobleck.
''What!'' cried Dove.
Donut then snapped his fingers and Doves sword shattered, Dove backed off and bumped into Locus who had suddenly appeared behind him with his invisibility ''whats wrong?'' he asked ''scared!''
Locus then slammed a hand into Doves chest pushing him down and causing him so shiver as a yellow glow pulsed over his body ''and it appears Locus is also using his semblance, a virus semblance, you see folks when Locus touches someone he can make them see only there greatest fears, this also eats away at there aura... oh and Dove Bronzewing has just fainted, he's out! oh, clean up please, he's wet his pants!''
Cardin was now all alone, Sarge growled cocking his shotgun, but then Wash put a hand on his shoulder.
''you had your turn, it's my turn'' said Wash.
''kick his ass Wash'' Sarge nodded.
Wash nodded, now if you thought the Sarge beatdown was bad you have seen nothing, remember Sarge was only regular and Wash was special forces, it can't even be called a fight, Wash threw his helmet at Cardin which hit him in the face, Wash then full force tackled Cardin, knocking him back, Cardin raised his mace ready to fight, Wash just looked down at his rifle and dropped it, deciding to take Cardin on in hand to hand like Sarge did.
Cardin swung his Mace at Wash, but Wash rolled past the swing and punched Cardin in the side of the head, he then grabbed Cardin in the pressure points harshly, causing Cardin to cry out in pain, Wash the punched Cardin in the face, Cardin made a punch at Wash, but he blocked and started to attack like he did when he fought Felix, launching a swinging kick and everything, knocking Cardin down, Wash then just started to beat on him endlessly, until he ran out of aura.
''I just want you to know this Cardin, my worst fighting attribute is hand to hand, best is guns, second best is knives'' said Wash, grabbing Cardin by the collar of his armour ''I found out what my Semblance is too and man I could have used it, I just want to you know Cardin I didn't need to go easy on you, I could have used my guns, my knives or my semblance, I want you to remember that Cardin, always remember that, always remember, I'm the man, you bullied, torments and the man who you made to look like a joke and always, always who beat you! me which means if I am the joke you made me to be, your an even bigger joke!''
''alright Wash you've made your point'' said Carolina putting a hand on Wash's shoulder as he dropped Cardin to the ground ''and now always remember it, anyone who wants to call themselves our enemy's, don't fuck with the Reds or the Blues! because we will take you down!''
''AND THERE WE HAVE IT EVERYONE!'' cheered out Port ''THE WINNERS ARE THE REDS AND BLUES!''
The crowd exploded into cheers, all the girls were screaming things to the Reds and Blues like:
''WE LOVE YOU SIMMONS!''
''YEAH YOU GO CAROLINA!''
''MARRY ME TUCKER!''
The Reds and Blues basked in the glory for a little while as they walked out of the arena, Tucker quickly walked over to Wash in order to give him that push ''Tucker what are you doing?'' asked Wash.
''go on Wash'' said Tucker ''the times right, you just beat your bully, so now get the girl''
Tucker then pushed Wash towards Carolina, he accidentally bump into her ''oh sorry'' said Wash.
''no it's fine Wash, do you need something?'' asked Carolina.
''well... listen Carolina, I have held this back, but no more, it's time I let it out'' said Wash ''I have feelings for you... I know your still kinda bleeding over York, but I want you to know I fancy you, I think your pretty and I was hoping that you'd hold hands and go with me and if you want I'd like you to be my Girlfriend''
as soon as those words left Wash's mouth, his mouth was covered by Carolina's and they collapsed as they started to make out.
there we go, I delivered a final fight between Wash/Jaune and Cardin and had Wash and Carolina get together, so I hope it was good.
Just incase, Caboose's semblance basically makes him into One Punch Man.
