Weiss Reacts to Copycat OCs!
A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Woo! After seeing the success of the Reactsverse oneshot 'A Blackbird in Flight' (Woo CardinxMelanie!) I've decided that I'm going to do more of them! However, I can't seem to decide on an idea, so you decide! After this chapter goes up, I will put up a poll, whereupon you can decide from several choices; Alumni of Beacon reunion starring Kamin-I mean, Jaune's dad, Siegfried Schnee and *gasp* Cinder, a King's Game starring not-drunk Yang and antics, the moment Cinder did a heel-face turn involving burritos, or a small piece on just what the hell Glynda was doing with a scroll that summoned Yuno Gasai! You decide!
Regarding the release of volume 2, I've decided that while I WILL have them react to it, I will NOT change the characterisations of the Malachite sisters, Cinder, Roman or anyone else currently in the fic except if I find it convenient, mainly because having the nice girl Reacts!Melanie suddenly turn into a jerkass is kinda….awkward and a bit of a pain. To celebrate the release of volume 2's opening, however, I will begin a small arc about RWBY Volume 1! Woo! Yeah!
I'd also like to give a shout out to Half-Blind Otaku for referencing Weiss Reacts (and Fate/Zero OH MAH GAWD) in 'The Diary of Glynda Goodwitch'! Oh, and Nutshop's awesome fic 'Keep on Groundskeepin'! Surprise surprise, both of them will be featured and referenced in Weiss Reacts! Thanks guys!
Well, all that aside, I hope you guys enjoy this and I'll let you get reading!
DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth. Otherwise Ren-sempai would finally notice me. :c
The lyrics to 'Haifisch' belong to Rammstein.
Weiss was, as luck would have it, not reading fanfic today. Having learnt the lesson that her attempts to enjoy a little fanfic wound up quickly becoming antic-filled events usually spearheaded by that idiot Yang, her accomplice Blake and the often-unaware but nonetheless involved Ruby, the heiress decided that today, she would be having no such antics. Instead, she was going to enjoy the fresh air, have a vanilla sorbet, maybe visit Jaune's dorm, where at least the antics wouldn't be aimed at her for once.
"It's so much better, not having to deal with Xiao Long's pervertedness or insanity." Weiss stated. "Not having to deal with those idiotic perverts…." Humming her favourite song; Haifisch, of course- Weiss skipped along to the sorbet machine.
"First sorbet must be acquired, then Sharkie-chan, then a bench, then possibly I MIGHT go visit Jaune." Weiss thought aloud, planning her itinerary for the day. "Yes, that's a good plan. Anything to get me away from Yang for one day." She nodded eagerly.
She really did NOT want to deal with Yang's antics today.
"Wir halten, zusammen…." Weiss started to sing as she approached the machine, before colliding into someone who hadn't been there before.
"Hey, watch where you're-" Weiss started. The figure turned around.
"Why did you bump into-"
The figure Weiss bumped into was Weiss herself- or rather, a copy of Weiss- right down to the scar under her eye, her asymmetrically placed ponytail, her icy blue eyes, and her clothes.
The original Weiss stopped for a second, tilting her head. The replica Weiss tilted her own.
The original Weiss screamed. "YANG XIAO LONG! WHAT THE DUST DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!"
Ten minutes earlier….
Blake was busy tracking down the homunculus. She'd looked everywhere that the real Weiss would go to- the shark plushie store, the manga store, the sorbet machines around the campus, her hidden Ruby shrine, everywhere. Nowhere to be found!
"Dammit…" She sighed. "She's fast….." Blake mumbled. "Then again, what was I expecting? This is an artificial human based off Weiss we're talking about…." She rubbed her chin.
"Maybe Neko-Lagann could-no….no, drilling through the school might be a bit of a waste of time." The catgirl assessed her options. "My cameras aren't turning up a thing, and hacking Ozpin's ended with my computer being flooded with coffee cups….hm. If Norn was active, I could possibly use her to sniff out Aura signatures…..but she's still not booted up!" She sighs.
"Maybe I…" Just then, Weiss passed by. Blake stopped dead and waved.
"Hello, Weiss."
"Hello, Blake." Weiss nodded to the catgirl and walked off to the armory. Blake continued.
"Maybe I could ask Professor Peach? Wait, no." She sighed. "Port wouldn't let me borrow Edgar either…..and of course, Ren-sensei would make me rely on my own skills to hunt down the homunculus." Blake grumbled.
"I've already looked everywhere where Weiss would go….so where could a Weiss COPY go…."
Just then, Weiss passed by, from the same direction she came from earlier.
"Hello, Weiss." Blake nodded, absentmindedly.
"Hello, Blake." Weiss responded, walking to the sorbet machine opposite the armory. As she did, Blake froze.
"Did I just…." She facepalmed. "Dammit, Belladonna, you've got to be more alert! Where did that other Weiss go?!" She looked around, before remembering that the other Weiss went to the armory. Nodding, Blake set off in pursuit, hoping to catch her before Weiss did.
"XIAO LONG! EXPLAIN THIS!" Weiss shouted.
"Explain what? I'd rather know about what YOU'RE doing!" The other Weiss pointed at Weiss.
"Me? You're the one who's a copy!"
"No way! You're the copy!"
"Who the Dust are you anyway?!" Weiss screeched.
"Weiss Schnee, the daughter to Siegfried Schnee!"The other Weiss stated.
"No, I'm Weiss Schnee!" Weiss responded.
"Stop lying!"
"I'm not!"
"Well, that's what Satin told me!" The other Weiss retorted.
"Satin? Who is Satin?!" Weiss shouted.
Just then, Blake rounded the corner. "Weiss! Don't-too late." She sighed.
"…lemme guess, you two've already met."
"How did you guess, Belladonna?" Both Weisses looked at her, hands at their hips.
"Idiot! Don't copy me!"
"No, don't copy me! Dolt!"
Blake sighed. "You're both idiots. Let's get into the dorm before some teacher sees us- or Dust forbid, Velvet." Shuddering at imagining Velvet's reaction to the existence of two Weiss Schnees, the catgirl dragged the pair of arguing heiresses back to RWBY dorm.
Yang was sitting on a beanbag, laughing.
"Oh Dust, this is hilarious!" She pointed at the two Weisses, who glared at her. "TWO Weisses to tease and glomp Rubes with?"
"I told you-" Weiss started.
"- I am NOT in LOVE WITH THAT IDIOT!" The other Weiss finished.
"That's MY line!"
"No, MINE!"
"You're not the real me!"
"No, YOU aren't!"
"Quit that, you idiot!"
"Shut up, you dunce!"
Blake facepalmed, turning to the still laughing Yang. "You have an idea of how to tell them apart?"
"You don't know just how long I planned for this situation, kitten~" Yang giggled. Clearing her throat, she started. "Right, snow angels, I've got a test to see which one of you is the real Weiss."
"Good!" Weiss said. "We'll prove who's the real Weiss right here, right now!"
"Yes, and it won't be you!" The other Weiss retorted.
"Ladies…..sing the first two verses to Rammstein's 'Haifisch', please." Yang requested.
"Wir halten, zusammen. Wir hlaten miteinander aus. Wir halten zueinander, niemand halt uns auf." Weiss sang.
"Uh…..Und der Hafisch der hat-"
"WRONG! That's the chorus, my little snow angel!" The brawler laughed, before taking out a clicker and pressing it. A giant boxing glove appeared from a panel on the wall and punched Blake, knocking the Faunus out cold.
Both Weisses stared at her, shocked. Yang grumbled. "Wrong clicker….." She rummaged through her pocket full of various clickers before finding one. "Ah! This one." She pressed it, and a similar boxing glove punched out the Weiss that sung the chorus, sending her crumpled onto the floor.
The remaining Weiss sighed in relief, before glaring at her. "You idiot."
"It had to be done." Yang shrugged, snickering. "Anyway, be happy that it wasn't you I punched out." Grabbing a bunch of scissors, Yang went over to the unconscious Weiss and cut off the hairband that kept her ponytail shaped, letting her long, silvery hair splay out. "There, now we can tell which Weiss is you and which one isn't."
"Tch. I know you were behind this." Weiss retorted accusingly. Yang snorted.
"Not me this time. I mean, whoever came up with this was genius, but it wasn't me, I swear on my perf hair."
Weiss glared at her, reading her face before sighing. "…..for once, Xiao Long, I believe you."
"Good." Yang whirled around to look at the computer. "I'm pretty sure I read this in a fanfic somewhere…."
"That's not important!" Weiss shouted. "What's important is that we find out WHO did this!"
"Actually, I may well be of use." Weiss and Yang whirled around to see the Persocom Norn. Her distinctive ear-ports were slightly ajar and she was in a maid uniform.
"…..who are you again?" Weiss tilted her head.
"I am Norn, the Persocom Miss Belladonna constructed." She clarified. "I…..also believe I may be of assistance. You see….I have been exposed to Life Dust…..and it has altered me in some way that I cannot understand, so I seek answers too."
"Riiight, are you going to tell me she turned sentient?" Weiss muttered.
"It's settled!" Yang nodded. "We're going to go find whoever created the other you and get answers!"
"Indeed, Miss Xiao Long." Norn nodded.
"Right….hang on…" Weiss pointed at the other Weiss- or rather, where the other Weiss used to be. She was gone. "….where's the other me?!"
"…..you've got to be kidding me." Yang sighed. "Please tell me she didn't find Rubes first!" Running out of the door, the brawler went to find Ruby or the Weiss clone, whichever one she could.
Weiss shook her head before running after her. Norn nodded and followed slowly; the maid outfit she was wearing limited her running.
The other Weiss ran through the corridors, hoping to escape Weiss and Yang.
"I have to find Satin!" She nodded. "She'll clear this all up…." Sprinting, she ended up running into Ruby, who was munching on cookies.
"Oh! Hey, Weiss!" Ruby blushed slightly.
"Ruby?!" The other Weiss looked around shiftily, before hearing the footsteps of Yang and Weiss approaching. She froze.
"Weiss? Is something wrong?"
"Uh…well…uh…" The other Weiss thought quickly. 'I can't let her know that there's two of me!' Out of options, the other Weiss pulled Ruby into a deep kiss, pulling her behind a nearby vending machine just in time for Yang and Weiss to round the corner. The other Weiss made sure to keep Ruby distracted; indeed, the crimsonette was utterly confused, surprised, and blushing- and obscured her view behind her.
Yang and Weiss ran past, not hearing Ruby's squeals.
When the other Weiss was sure they'd ran past, she pulled away from Ruby, blushing herself. "Thanks for helping!" She nodded and ran in the opposite direction.
Ruby waved at her, blushing profusely. "Y-you too….w-wait…." She froze. "…Weiss would never kiss me like that.
…..am I dreaming? Did I die somehow? What's going on?!" The crimsonette was utterly confused. Not to say she DIDN'T enjoy the image of Weiss kissing her- she did- but still, what exactly was going on?
A short while later….
Weiss ran back to Yang, panting. She was exhausted with the effort of chasing herself down.
"Yang…." Weiss said, wheezing. "Did you…find….my….clone?"
"Nope, and Blake's still out cold, so we're blind on the camera front." Yang sighed.
"Well…..I guess we're-"
"Hey, guys." Yang looked up to see Ruby walking towards them.
"Hey, Rubes!" Yang waved to her. Weiss leaned on her to use her as a rest, only for Ruby to run to her and attempt to kiss her. Weiss batted her off.
"What the Dust do you think you're doing, you dunce?!" The heiress blushed.
"S-sorry! I just had to know!" Ruby shouted in her defense.
"What did you just have to know?!"
"If you actually kissed me or not!" Ruby blushed at that last part. Weiss froze.
"…..WHAT THE DUST DID MY CLONE DO AND WHERE DID IT GO?!" The heiress shrieked. Yang giggled.
"Heheh…..two Weisses….this should go nicely…."
"Y-your clone?" Ruby tilted her head.
"My clone. That kissed you. I didn't. I'm not into you, idiot." Weiss grumbled.
Ruby pointed shakily towards JNPR dorm.
"Right." Weiss nodded. "Ruby, Yang, you round off the corridor ahead of the dorm. I'll go confront my clone from behind. Got it?"
"Right!"
"R-right…"
"And make sure it doesn't get away this time! No antics that are liable to go wrong like now!"
"And….what shall I do?" Norn inquired.
"….you stick with me."
"Understood, miss Schnee." The Persocom trailed behind Weiss as she ran to catch her clone.
The other Weiss, meanwhile, had to find somewhere to hide. RWBY dorm wasn't a good idea, funnily enough; even without the risk of being seen, Yang probably had some antic hidden somewhere in there. Hiding in Weiss' usual haunts was a bad idea too.
CRDL dorm was bad; one, because Dove and Russell hated Weiss, though Cardin might beat the hell out of whoever was stupid enough to bully Weiss on his watch, and MEME dorm was too far away.
That left, of course, JNPR dorm.; the one place Weiss would never go for fear of Nora and Ren. And Pyrrha, but mainly Nora and Ren.
The other Weiss knocked on the door quickly. "Hello? Anyo-" She froze, reading a note on the door.
-Out for pancakes, won't be back until ren decides to drive us to pancake land in vale
-signed, nora
She facepalmed. "Really? When I need it the most, THIS happens?"
"Freeze, inferior me!" Weiss shouted.
"…..I am NOT inferior to you, you dunce!" The other Weiss called back.
"Really, now, then how did you not dodge that antic of Xiao Long's?"
"It was unexpected! You wouldn't have dodged it either!"
"I would have! I am NOT a dunce like you!"
"No, you're the dunce!"
"Shut up!" The Weiss with the ponytail rushed at the other Weiss to tackle her down, until a net descended upon them both, enveloping them. Norn looked up to see Velvet in an open vent, giggling insanely.
"YES!" She laughed. "T-two Weiss-sempais...all mine to huggle and love~"
"S-Satin?!" The other Weiss shouted, surprised.
"Oh, NOW it makes sense!" The main Weiss grumbled. "Obviously YOU would make a clone of me!"
"A-and now I have two of you..." Velvet squeed. "This w-worked out better t-than I thought..."
"Actually, Miss Scarlatina, that would be inaccurate." Norn noted.
"Who are you?"
"I am designated Norn." The Persocom stated. "And I am under orders to, as Miss Belladonna says, halt your antics. I am equipped for it, too." Rummaging in her pocket, Norn whipped out what looked to be a kunai and severed the rope suspending the net by throwing it, dropping the two Weisses to the ground. Velvet yelped.
"No!"
"I could also like to thank you, Miss Scarlatina." Norn said nonchalantly. "You have...seemingly improved my mental functions."
The bunnygirl pouted. "N-no...m-my plans failed again...
S-someday, Weiss-sempai..." She scampered away.
Weiss rubbed her head. "Ugh...so she made you to..." She shuddered. "I don't even want to-"
"Yeah." The other Weiss sighed. "Well, that explains it."
"Are you both alright, Mistresses Schnee and Schnee?"
"Fine."
"I'll live."
"Ahem." All three of them looked up to see Ozpin, drinking coffee out of his favourite mug.
"P-Professor Ozpin!" Weiss cried nervously.
"I believe, Miss Schnee...and Miss Schnee...and your Persocom, I believe, have some explaining to do." The headmaster noted.
"Perhaps you would like to explain first how there are two of you?"
Later, in Ozpin's office...
"...ah." Ozpin nodded. "So Velvet created a replica of you, Miss Schnee, and infused it with life Dust."
"Yes."
"Indeed."
"Mhm." He nodded, sipping his coffee. "Well. I WOULD ask where Miss Scarlatina would acquire such Dust, but I have a feeling it would end horribly."
"If you want, sir, I may-"Norn started, but Ozpin shook his head.
"No. What I am particularly concerned about here, however, is what to do with the clone." Ozpin looked to the Weiss with free hair. "Firstly, we will need to christen you with a name."
"A name?" She tilted her head. "Isn't Weiss enough?"
"That's MY name, you dolt." Weiss grumbled. "You need another name."
"...indeed." Ozpin noted. "Perhaps...Elsa might suit you?"
"Yes." She nodded. "...for some reason, the name seems to suit me. Yes, I will be referred to as Elsa from now on."
"Indeed.
Though...what amuses me is that this all started with Miss Scarlatina's obsession with you, Miss Schnee." Ozpin sipped some coffee.
"It's not funny." Weiss grumbled. "Really not funny."
"Indeed." Ozpin continued sipping his coffee. "We WILL need to find a team for Norn and Elsa. The rules state that there cannot be a team of more than four."
"Perhaps Mister Winchester and Miss Malachite?" Norn offered.
"No. Though removing Cardin from team CRDL may well be the best way to prevent Dove from ending up in the infirmary every time he, for lack of a better word, talks down to his mother, removing Melanie- I presume she is Miss Malachite, and not Miltiades- from team MEME is not viable." The headmaster clarified. "For now, however, remain with team RWBY."
"As you wish." Norn nodded.
"As for the life Dust incident..." Ozpin rubbed his chin. "This looks to be an interesting experiment...after all, not only has one of our students successfully created a homunculus, but they have also inadvertently created life in a computer..."
"I thought Penny was that already." Weiss interjected.
"Who is this Penny-" Elsa started.
"Some dolt who's declared us her friends. Xiao Long'll brief you on it later."
"...and of course...yes." Ozpin nodded. "Now, as I was saying-" Suddenly, Ozpin's phone rang. Looking at the caller ID for a moment, he sighed, fixing his glasses. "Very well.
Misses Schnee, Norn, and Schnee, go back to your dorm for now. We will discuss this later."
"Okay, sir." Weiss nodded and stood up, walking out. Elsa and Norn followed, leaving Ozpin in the room alone.
Sighing, he picked up the phone. "Cinder. What are you doing, calling?"
Cinder seemed desperate. "Ozpin...I really need a job. I really do. I'm seeing burritos EVERYWHERE. I NEED MY BURRITOS. I NEED A JOB."
"What do you expect me to do?"
"Let me teach. Please. I'll let you pay me in burritos. I JUST NEED BURRITOS."
"...right." Ozpin sipped his coffee, before realising he still had to pay back Goodwitch for replacing all of his coffee with maple syrup. He smirked.
"...I will give you normal pay, and a free lifetime coupon to the Schnee Burrito Parlor-"
"What?!" Cinder's surprise was palpable in her voice.
"...but you have to do something for me. Like the good old days.
It involves Goodwitch."
"..." The sounds of Cinder's evil laughter could be heard. "Like the good old days, huh? Done."
"We will discuss our plans when you show up here, tomorrow, eight o'clock sharp. We will discuss your teaching post."
"Heheheh...I'll see you tomorrow then, Ozpin." Cinder stated. "Pleasure doing business with you." Shortly after, the line went dead.
Ozpin sighed, rubbing his temples. "I still don't understand why that girl is obsessed with burritos."
Elsa and Weiss returned to RWBY dorm, only to be greeted with a glomp from Yang.
"Yaaaay! Two Weisses to prank!"
"...I hate my life." Weiss sighed.
"Is this normal?" Elsa inquired.
Ruby was in the background, blushing heavily. "...two of Weiss-sempai...two..." Nobody noticed her faint with a slight nosebleed.
