I don't Own RWBY or Darkest Dungeon
Youth
Is a wonderful Thing.
What a crime to
waste it on Children.
George Bernard Shaw
Beacon Cafeteria a week after Spring break.
3rd POV
It's been three weeks since the mission to Mistral and only two since spring break started. It was the last day of Spring break and all those who had left to visit families are returning. Along with them were students with Mistral. Of course, a normally mundane day has been altered due to current event. For starters Boudica was under constant surveillance by a private militia brought in from Vacuo. Only time she was given any privacy was when she was asleep or using the bathroom. Course it only took a day for all of them to turn in their registration's papers and limp to the hospital. Thankfully her deviant urges were sedated by Yang and a private room curtesy of Ozpin. Weiss and Audrey never settled their duel because they were interrupted by the staff. However besides being sent to detention they buried the hatchet and became fast friends. Ruby was almost jealous of this; it was like they had their own secret language at times. Still, with Coco around Audrey was busier, leaving time for Ruby and Weiss. Other than the occasional strange antic and a few burning dorms the Vacation period proved to be boring. Ruby and Yang returned back home for four days. Blake and Weiss remained behind, both getting letters from home. Jaune got a few dozen letters from all his sisters asking about a few of his teammates and more in particular a few of his friends that are easier on the eyes. Tardif himself got mail, but actually from an anonymous source… this time it was a severed hand. It belonged to a notorious slave trader working out of Mistral city. How it got in the mail or where his body is now will never be known. As the bell rings for lunch the four teams with the exception of Dismas and Amani who were in town, had gathered by their usual table in their school uniforms and went about their day like it was any other. Except for Blake who was crudely sketching in her note book. Last night she saw a news report on the WF activities, apparently, they had stepped up in their cruel and unusual tactics. She was sketching an unknown figure into her book as Weiss and Yang took notice.
"Whatcha doing?" Yang asked as Blake quickly flips the book close.
"Nothing, just going over notes from last semester." Blake said in her defense.
"Uh, huh. Sure." Paracsus remarks sarcastically as she carefully removes a few leaches from a jar of alcohol to another that has been sterilized.
"Lame." Yang replies as she turns her head to catch a grape tossed by Nora.
As she swallows the grape Ruby had walked in and slammed a huge book on the table, getting everyone's attention. She then begins her somewhat practiced speech. "Sisters! Friends! Weiss."
"Hey!" Weiss snips.
Ruby continued. "Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream..."
Then Yang commented. "This ought to be good."
"Ça pourrait aider à briser l'ennui depuis notre dernière émeute." (It could help break the boredom since our last riot.) Amani Said smugly.
"Vous voulez dire celui où vous avez en quelque sorte changé l'eau du robinet en pure absinthe?" (You mean the one where you somehow changed the tap water to pure wormwood?) Weiss asked before being hushed by Bigby.
With them hushed Ruby continued. "A dream that one day, the sixteen of us would come together as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had, ever!"
"Did you steal my binder?"
"Ich bin kein Gauner." (I am not a crook.) Ruby remarks in German as she held up her hands to quote herself.
"What, was that? Ancient vale?" Nora asked as she went from tossing grapes to strawberries.
"German, also Ich bin ein Berliner." Bigby remarks before fist bumping Ruby.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked, having no idea what she was talking about.
"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby answered with an excited fist bump.
"I always kick my semester off with a 'Yang'!" Yang quipped with her pun only to ruin what ever was the moment Ruby was building up too."Ehh!? Guys? Am I right?"
"ty ubil eto." (you killed it.) Tardif said as he inspects a bloodied ring sent in the mail.
Jay and Nora both threw an apple at Yang and yelled, "Boooooooo!" in response to the bad pun.
Yang growled and Ruby said in a sincere tone to try and keep the motivation going. "Look guys, it's been a good two weeks, and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But classes start back up tomorrow, which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today."
"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss comments as Yang toss's a green apple that missed the two and hit a stranger in the back of the head.
"Knowing you it could be anything." Paracus said as she carefully screwed the lid on her leaches.
Then Blake said, "I don't know. I think I might sit this one out."
"Da, agree." Tardif said as he pockets the ring.
"Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team." Weiss scolds.
"I agree with the queen of snow. Comrades in arms must drink from the same tavern in times of celebration." Boudica comments as she catches a flying apple.
"Yes, strangely enough, I for one agree with-" She couldn't even finish her sentence as a cream pie hit Weiss' face.
As it slowly falls to the ground both Nora and Jay look in horror as the pies cream slowly falls off her face showing a pair of angry blue eyes. They soon pointed the finger at one another in a he did she did problem. However, the damage has been done. Before anyone could react Boudica somehow pulls out a wedding size cake that hits both Ren and Tardif.
Nora quickly grabbed a tray of cookies and stood up on the table she unleashed her battle cry of retaliation. "FOODFIGHT!"
Outside the cafeteria
Dismas and Amani had just returned from the Bullhead station with Sun and his partner Neptune. Dismas honest thought of him as just another pretty face wanker in the crowd, but after talking he figure him to be the kinda bloke that you go out drinking. However, he was not so sure about Amani giving him side ways glances of intrigue. Thankfully she isn't Boudica or else they would have another drunk monkey scenario. Speaking of monkey Sun was telling Neptune about how they all met a few months back as they were walking and chatting near the cafeteria
"Man, that's harsh." Neptune said.
"So then here we are, at each other's back and fighting against these White Fang members. I threw a banana at this one guy and it was supper funny. She was Killer coding it on those bullheads like an absolute beast, why'll that Bigby guy is one. Then this guy was all bang, bang. He held his own like a regular bill badass. Oh, then there is this girl. Blake man she was just… So Awesome, dude like completely awesome." Sun explains as the four past a window with a random student is thrown sideways.
"Nice dude." Neptune said as they walked past a window when multiple piece of fruit splatters the window.
"Yes, Blake has proven to be hard to kill. Quick agile, just add wit and I can call her a highwaywoman." Dismas joked getting a weird look from Neptune as Ren was football tackled by Boudica in the window.
"What's a Highwaywoman?" Neptune asked as Boudica was tossed back landing on Jay.
"I think that's what you call a Highwayman if he was a chick dude." Sun explains as in the background Yang is bitch slapping a transformed Bigby with a swordfish.
"Oh… what's a highwayman?" Neptune asked as jaune was tossed like a frisbee by Tardif.
"That… I'm not entirely sure." Sun said with a shrug as Jaune hits the window. The four continued their walk without noticing the fight from within the cafeteria.
"In any case you know what's the best part. She is a Faunas as well." Sun said before being bumped in the side by Dismas who gave a simple eh, hem to remind him. "Oh, but that's a secret."
"Got it." Neptune reassured.
"And not a go tell Scarlet the moment Sun turns his back kinda secret! I'm talking secret, secret, secret!" Sun said firmly and nervously.
"Woah, chill out man. I got it." Neptune said firmly and calmly.
"Yeah, you better." Sun remarks
"Phs, look I just don't want to screw this up. The people here are the coolest, I mean look at Dismas and Amani." Sun pointed out as they pass by another window that looked like someone finger-painted it. "No offence dude."
Neptune did have to admit; this was the first time neither him or Sun we swoon by every single girl. Also, Dismas and Neptune looked like absolute badass'es. "None taken."
Sun then stops at the door to the cafeteria. "Alright so they are just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're going to be cool right?"
"Dude." Neptune said with a smirk that sparkled.
"… Good point." Sun remarks before the four enter the cafeteria to see the absolute madness that pursued within the cafeteria. Multiple students raced out from the cafeteria screaming in fear. As they did Sun looked forward in amazement why'll Dismas, Neptune, and Amani looked around in confusion.
At the end of the cafeteria team JNPR, Jay, Boudica, Paracus. They seem to be standing on a ramshackle fortification made from tables, chairs, and soda machines. Nora on top of this fortification sings mockingly. "I'm Queen of the castle! I'm Queen of the castle! I'm Queen of the castle!"
At the other end was Team, RWBY with Audrey, Tardif, and Bigby. As Nora finishes her taught Ruby stomps on the table and points to the other end while crushing a milk carton in her other hand. "Justice will be Swift! Justice will be Painful! It will be delicious!"
This rallied her team before JNPR team jumps off from their fortification. Nora shouts off the top of her lungs "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" as everyone catapulted the Watermelons towards them.
"Yang, Audrey! Turkey, silverware!" Ruby shouts.
The two quickly raced forward with Yang rolling towards the turkey why'll Audrey stomps on a tray sending forks, spoons, and knifes flying upwards. Yang using the turkey begins to lay a beat down on the flying fruits. Audrey on the other hand grabbed the flying utensils individually before chucking them at the fruit. As they destroyed the bombardment of watermelons, Blake and Tardif quickly raced forward armed with sausage string and Baggett. Yang provides cover by tossing her turkey and hitting Jaune. Boudica and Pyrrha ran towards them, Both armed with Baggett's of their own. The four engaged in combat with Boudica winning by snatching the rope sausage with her teeth. Using her strength, she tossed him back to the other side before being tackled by a transformed Bigby. At the same time Pyrrha sent both Yang and Blake back, but was force to retreat when Ruby pushed her back by riding a tray like a snowboard. Once pushed back both Nora and Ren tried to rush her. However Ruby moves out of the way allowing Weiss to use a bottle of ketchup as a smoke screen and slip in tar. Ren quickly fell and slid into the tables like a bowling ball. However, Paracus quickly raced through the cloud undisturbed by a gas mask made from a boar's head. She quickly tossed a garlic bomb at the two which Nora hits with a makeshift hammer. Weiss used a sword fish to try and block it but it bashes into the point and send her flying back into pillar causing it to collapse on her. Audrey quickly grabs her before it could fall on her but it was too late Weiss was down for the count.
"Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me! NOO!" Ruby cries as she raced over to her partner.
Back with Yang, she raced towards Ren who was fighting her with leeks. As she was pushing him back Jay enters the fight by using broken lollipops as Hook swords. He used his agile speed to disarm Yang of one Turkey. He would have disarmed the other if it wasn't for Tardif quickly tossing grapes onto the ground. Just like marbles the clown slipped up and was sent flying into Ren taking both of them down for the count. Nora and Boudica quickly raced in. Both wielding pole weapons made up of watermelons and pumpkins. Tardif charges in with support but the two were sent flying upwards along with Tardif. The three crashed into the ceiling and traveled upwards. Blake using Tardifs idea quickly used the sausage whip to send Nora flying back why'll Audrey went to work tossing carrots with pointed tips at Boudica, nailing her to the wall. As Nora crashes into the soda machine Paracus quickly grabbed a few and tied them together with string cheese. She shook the soda bomb before tossing it at the two. Blake barley dodged the bombs but Audrey went down with multiple canisters exploding in her face. Pyrrha realizing that they were metal quickly used her semblance. She guided the bombs till they pelted Blake against the wall in an multi neon explosion. Ruby was now the only teammate left and she got an idea from Blake being pelted. Using her semblance she does a quick twirl causing the flying cans, food bits, and the rest of the opposite team to crash into the back wall before being pelted with so much food that they were camouflaged by the painting made up of soda and food. After a few moments they slid off the wall.
"I, love these guys." Sun said as the screen pulls back to him before moving to the right. Their stood Dismas and Neptune covered head to toe in soda with Amani standing behind them. Both looked annoyed. The three slowly turned their head to Sun with annoyed looks on their faces.
Before they could even say anything Goodwitch barges in looking absolutely infuriated. She lets out a low growl before waving her riding crop causing the cafeteria to revert to its pre food fight self. She then turned to the two teams as they pick themselves up. She said agitated yet softly. "Children, please... do not play with your food."
After a few moments, Yang finally came down and crashed landed. She gets up and showed a thumbs up, to tell everyone that she is okay. Before Tardif comes crashing down through a different part of the roof and crashes on top of Yang. As the two give out a collective moan, a transformed Bigby crashes through a third hole and lands on the two.
Glynadas eyes begin to twitch in anger that she now has to fix three holes in the roof. As she twitches in anger the two teams begin to laugh, making her rage some more till Ozpin walks up behind her and places his hand on her shoulder. "Let it go."
"(Sigh) They're supposed to be the defenders of the world." Glynda comments a she lets go of her frustration.
"And they will be. But right now, they're still children. So why not let them play the part?" Then Ozpin walks backwards and continues. "Afterall, it isn't a role they'll have forever."
As he finishes that line a loud rumble can be heard from outside. All the students that were still conscious looked outside to see an entire airship battalion of Atlas warships flying outside. If this wasn't a time of peace it would seem like they were here to invade.
"We'll it seems Atlas has arrived Ozpin remarks at the sight of those warships.
"Ugh, do they really need to bring his entire army?" Goodwitch asked sounding disappointed. As the two look onward with disappointment Dismas had his own thoughts about the warships, but he barley kept his treasured scarf from being ruined. So, he reaches into his coat and pulls out his pipe. Inside was a piece of watermelon. He quickly tips it out before lighting the pipe.
"Well, no rest for the wicked." Dismas mutters as he inhales the smoke.
Hello everybody, Wombag1786 here. So, I'm back from my (This pacific story) vacation. I feel… exhausted. Like Apathy tired. Probably due to the lack of coffee or tea around the house. That or just simply I feel old. In any case Season two the next big milestone and the Paracus ship is now over with a tie. I'll do an informal recount in the comments for only one week. Now in any case I'm excited for the new list of voting coming up soon. The next filler for season two and three are almost done and should be placed up in one or two weeks at the least. Also, side note I don't remember if I mention this or not on this story, but I am working with another FF Writer (His Left 4 Dead story got me into FF Writing, so I guess the word that would describe him is my original inspiration.) to bring a new story. So, I'll be resuming my two weeks then break schedule to work with him. I'll officially advertise the story when we get some proper traction. Right, now with the rambling out of the way lets get on with the questions and comments make sure to leave those below and Fav/Fol the story.
From Kirston: I'm sure everyone chuckled at it. Heh, Sun may be a cool guy but for some reason he has that face that says punch me. Eh, probably my younger brother talking. (He is a blonde and the youngest so I'll leave it to your imagination of what kinds of trouble he gets into.)
Yeah, re-watching the season just brought me to the same conclusion. If it's a crypt filled with dead bones, how can I make it worse? The answer makes the bones fight back.
Unforntely I might have considering I got a D in culture but made it up by getting a B+ in the second course. In any case things are looking to be interesting this summer.
I would hold out on wishing me luck. Seriously if I was any luckier then right now, I would be dating the lady herself. (Seriously, first month of school a squirrel ran from the gutter with twenty dollars stuck to it foot. I don't know what that in Ruble's but you get the gist of how lucky I am.) In any case I wish you luck. (If you have a casino nearby head there now, I guaranty you will be on a winning streak.)
Thanks for writing Kirston
From Carre: 1. No problem.
2. The Spanish Inquisition… (Sigh) Where is a blood sucking vampire when you need one? (Cough, Abridge Hellsing ultimate, Cough)
3. No problem, though do take it with a grain of salt. The actual translation is much different. (EXM, "bimbo harlot" in French is bimbo prostituée which in actuality translates to bimbo prostitute. Another example is that the French don't call it Absinthe but actually call it the plant from it originated. "Wormwood.") Point is take these translations with a grain of salt.
4. … um. (Behind me a transformed Bigby is carrying Karaoke equipment. He notices you and quietly walked back stage) …. Yeah, you are somewhat on the nose with that theory.
5. Oh, that's not her your seeing… that's actually Marvin Seo and Clair De Lune Banshee mod… she won't show till another season but I had her come in to try a few scenes for the big reveal. Oh along with a few other characters of the mod author.
6. No not much references there, well except for an ancient pyramid a few horrifying descriptive horrors and maybe a cannolo eating mobster. As for the Necronomicon well someone groovy has dibs on that and I rather not take it from his chainsaw hand.
7. Thanks for the thumb.
Thanks for writing Carre.
