Quiet. That was all they heard these past few weeks, was quiet. Granted, an Academy where you are trained to fight the hellspawn of remnant isn't a place known for rest and relaxation, but with a certain group of soldiers gone, there wasn't that much to do. At first everyone thought they came back for a day but it was only to get their warthog, and even then it wasn't them, it was a villager from the village they were protecting.
At first, it almost seemed the quiet was a good thing. A few days in and the students were more attentive in classes and in tests. These changes were short lived however. Huntsman and Huntresses were able to find stuff to keep them occupied, but having the Reds and Blues around was a very easy distraction. Not only that but they were a fun distraction. No matter what they always had something interesting going on. After the first few days everyone had to admit something, they missed the reds and blues. However they wouldn't let something like them being away on a mission keep them down for long.
The reds and blues left their warthog and keys behind so the students had a little fun messing around with that. Arslan almost accidently blew it up though as her team was doing some training with it and she sent a fireball hurling towards it, nearly causing it to explode. Luckily Reese knew a thing or two about vehicles to be able to fix it up.
Jaune was learning how to shoot from Pyrrha and Ren. Ren may have used machine pistols but they were still pistols. Jaune even tried to get Blake, since she was the one with a pistol that resembled the one Carolina gave Jaune, to help him but she was too busy with the White Fang stuff that she practically ignored him.
Yang thought it'd be fun to hang out with Nora for a day, and the two of them spent time either sparring, or telling stories about Ren and Ruby. In fact they even signed up for an underground fighting tournament in Vale for the day and spent most of their time there.
Weiss even decided to break out of her cold nature and try to spend some more time with her team. Ever since the talk about family with Carolina she was slowly growing into a friendlier person.
Pyrrha kept to her normal schedule of helping Jaune with fighting and even had the courage to get Jaune on a few dates with her! Well, more like she tricked Jaune into thinking it was two friends hanging out but she viewed them as dates. Density can be a good thing is used properly!
Ruby had been getting to know team BRNZ's sniper a little bit better. The two shared a lot in common besides the fact that they both had snipers. Apparently May like cookies almost as much as Ruby did! Ren had found a meditating partner in team ARBN named Bolin. Both of them were quiet people but enjoyed each other's company.
Jaune had even made a few friends from Atlas. He and Flynt hung out one time when Jaune met him when he was practicing his guitar skills. When the two found out they both had instruments they decided to play a song they both knew together. It gathered a crowd and for about an hour or so after the two talked and hung out. Apparently Flynt had three older sisters so he knew the trouble of being raised in a house full of women.
All in all, it was as if the Reds and Blues leaving had no effect on them. So, when they returned they would be in for a very fun surprise.
Two weeks have passed since the reds and blues got the mission. So far, the day was normal. At breakfast, Nora was vacuuming pancakes down her stomach, Ruby and Yang were messing with each other, Blake was still studying the White Fang, Weiss was studying homework with Pyrrha, and Ren and Jaune were chatting with each other.
People fell asleep in Port's class, people got knocked around in the combat class, but it was in Oobleck's class that got the surprise.
Oobleck was discussing some history of Vacuo on how they tried to remain neutral throughout the Great War when there was a loud knock on his door. The loud knocking causing some students to sigh in relief as they couldn't keep up with him, while others were just happy to not hear Oobleck talk at fifty miles per hour.
"Will be right there!" Oobleck called out. He phased to the door and answered it, only to be met with a giant blue armored person with his hands in the air.
"Oobleck!" the familiar childlike voice of Caboose cried out. Everyone in the class turned to see Oobleck in a forced hug that looked as if it was crushing his very being.
"Hello… Mr. Caboose!" Oobleck managed to choke out. Caboose let the man go and he straightened himself out. "I'm assuming your mission was a success?"
"Oh it was just the best!" Caboose said. "We met so many nice people! We also met a few mean animals but that was okay because we helped the nice people get rid of them!"
Ruby saw Caboose and got a smile on her face and waved. "Hi Caboose!" she waved energetically and Caboose waved back with as much energy.
"Hello!"
Oobleck cleared his throat and got the attention of Caboose. The blue armored soldier turned and looked at Oobleck. "Mr. Caboose, perhaps you would like to help me teach these students now that you are here?"
"Okay! What are we learning?"
Oobleck began explaining as fast as he could. Which was to say, pretty damn fast. It sounded as if he was explaining an entire month of learning in just a manner of seconds. Caboose just nodded his head occasionally to let Oobleck know he was listening. Once two minutes of explaining was done, Oobleck finally took a breath. He then continued explaining.
"Did you get all of that?" Oobleck asked as he pushed his glasses back up.
"Yep!" Caboose answered with ta thumbs up. With that, all of them continued with the lesson. However, most of the students stopped listening. Now, all they could think about were the reds and blues, and what they did and will be doing.
At Combat class:
Reese was riding her hover board around fighting Neon. The two were pitted against each other due to their similar hit-and-run tactics. So far it seemed Reese had the upper hand as she hovered in the air and stayed out of Neon's range. Neon expected this and had a trick up her sleeve.
She cracked her nunchucks until they glowed green. She then began shadow fighting with them toward the air, which sent slashes of air at Reese, causing her to lose balance off of her board. Reese began falling to the ground and turned her hover board into their gun form and aimed at neon but the cat faunus activated her semblance and began skating around Reese's shots.
Reese was so preoccupied with trying to shoot Neon that she forgot that she was falling, until her head hit the ground that was. She got up and gripped her head while she groaned in pain, and by then Neon began speeding in for the kill.
That was until a giant red wall appeared from nowhere, causing her to slam into it. She fell to her butt and moaned in pain. Reese recovered and saw Neon and went on the offensive again. She charged at the Atlas student only to be shot in the leg by a couple of round. Her aura blocks it but she still felt enough of a sting to cause her to fall to the ground. The two were close enough to each other though, for the sound of two round objects appearing next to them.
They both turn to see two grenades roll to them, and before they could let out a surprised scream the grenade exploaded, causing both of their auras to reach the red zone. Everyone looked from where the attacks came from to be met with the familiar cyan armor of Carolina and black armor of Washington.
"You know, there are much better ways to let people know you are back instead of attacking them," Glynda said with a sigh.
"Where's the fun in that?" Carolina asked.
"Besides, it shows these two didn't learn from our 'be aware of your surroundings' lecture," Washington added. "SO now, they get to experience what it's like to be beaten to a pulp for not listening."
"I hate them…" Reese said, a smile upon her lips contradicting her statement. Despite getting wrecked by them, they did bring up a good point.
"I'm so happy they're back!" Neon said as she sat up.
"Well you'll be happier that we brought another one of us," Carolina said.
"Realy? Who?" Glynda asked.
Infirmary:
"Wow!" Dr. Grey exclaimed. "So this is what a modern facility looks like in this world?"
"Amazing right?!" Doc agreed. They were in the infirmary and Doc was showing the great Dr. Grey around the place they will be spending the most time.
"Oh I can't wait to test some things here as well!"
"Tests?" a student asked as he walked in. Doc and Emily looked at him and he gulped nervously. They noticed he had a spear pierced into his back but he was slowly walking away. "You know what, I think I'll let my aura take care of it." He sprinted away causing Dr. Grey to scream.
"WE GOT A RUNNER!"
"I'll get them, you focus on getting used to here," Doc said. He ran out the doorway and called out to the student. "You won't escape, I ran track in high school!"
"I love the thrill of the hunt!" O'Malley said. And with that, the multiple personalitied man ran after the student.
Firing range:
May was looking down her scope and aiming at a dummy target. So far she had hit three headshots and fifteen body shots from the twenty targets. This next one was right in her scope. All she had to do was pull the trigger. She fires but her assumption seemed to be off and instead of ripping the head off it went straight through the shoulder.
"Still a clean kill," Brawnz commented. "Not as flashy as your last shot though."
"Eat a dick Brawnz," May said. "Still a better shot than you."
"Because I don't shoot."
May chuckled. "Exactly." Brawnz rolled his eyes and removed the binoculars from his eyes. He yawns as May reloaded her weapon. That was until they both heard footsteps behind them.
"Not a bad shot," The person said. He was reloading his DMR that he had. His aqua colored armor shone in the light. "You're still at a disadvantage if you miss though."
"Oh?" May asked a smug look on her face. "And how would you take them out?"
"Like this!"
Tucker took out his energy sword and placed his left palm in front of him. A green portal opened up and Tucker stuck his sword and arm in it. a few seconds later he pulls it out with a dummy head that was covered in black gloop. May and Brawnz look back at the range to see another portal closing by a dummy missing its head.
"As impressive as that is," brawnz said. he pointed at the hea of the dummy. "What's with the black gunk?"
"Something I still yet to figure out," Tucker said. "You want to taste it?"
"Gross no!" May said with a small smile on her face. Tucker tossed it at the two and both of them backed away from it.
"Come on just try it, I'm curious!"
"Try it yourself!" Brawnz yelled.
The three of them enjoyed hanging out for the next hour or so.
Maintenance room:
A couple of students were fixing their weapons from the dinks and dents that came with the job. A few were adding upgrades to them and others were just adding paint for cosmetic reasons. Whatever the reason, the students were working hard. Too bad they won't in about a minute or so.
The maintenance door is kicked open and a familiar red armored soldier is coming with what looked to be a gun attached with a chainsaw at the end of it, with the chains somewhat damaged. A brown armored soldier followed by him with what looked to be a bag filled with various gun parts.
"As much as I love the gun the village let me keep Lopez," Sarge commented as he walked over to workbench. "I wish it didn't require so much maintenance."
"Perhaps if you didn't use it on stupid reasons," Lopez said in Spanish. However he spoke the next part in English. "It does seem to be a rip off sir."
"Thank you! Now then while you fix all of the weapons we messed up, I will see what I can do with this little beauty."
Once Sarge and Lopez got to work, a couple of students went up to Sarge and greeted him, which he greeted back with a salute. Lopez greeted the students as well. However a few were wondering what was their mission but the two of them did not tell them, saying they would tell them the next time they were in class. With that done, everyone continued working on their weapons.
The Dorms:
"Really Grif?" Simmons asked with a sigh. The two of them were in a common area with Grif already on the couch with a bunch of snacks ready to watch the TV. "Not even an hour here and you're already making a mess?"
"Bite me," Grif said as he switched the TV to something entertaining.
"Hey, does anyone need a good rubbing?" Donut asked. "I think we all deserve a massage after a tough mission like that!"
"Shut up Donut," Grif and Simmons said together as Simmons sat down in a chair to watch TV with Grif.
"Okay, but how about I grab us some wine to enjoy this relaxing time?"
Grif and Simmions weren't going to deny free alcohol. Donut got the glasses of wine, Grif had the food, and Simmons was ready to relax. Asw Grif flipped through the channels they all found a cartoon about a scientist and his grandson going on adventures, a show that all of them liked. From the looks of it it was a marathon so they all got ready to veg out.
The Reds and Blues are back. Who knows what kind of adventure they'll get into?
To be continued.
A/N So yeah you get a tiny chapter. The reason why I haven't updated in a long time is one of a few reasons. The main one being, I didn't know where I want to go with this story. At first I wanted to keep it going into season 3 but I might end it at the end of season 2.
I'm having trouble making this my own story since all it really is is just the Reds and Blues in Remnant following the main story. I don't really know how to give this story it's own personality so don't expect me to update it on a regular schedule.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed and see you in the next chapter.
