Hello readers, and here is the next instalment of my story. I know that when I first started writing this, chapters with over 10,000+ words were coming out every week. But now, due to school and my job, I now have to release one every month, maybe shorter
And before anyone asks, I have seen the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer and HOLY SHIT I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE! I'M #TEAMGODZILLA ALL THE WAY MOTHERFUCKERS!
.
.
Okay...now I'm getting off track. But, I'm still a big fan of Kong. And you may expect a few delays with upcoming chapters, mainly because of the Godzilla And Kong Movie Marathon I'm planning before the movies initial release
Also, the movie is coming out early in France, so when the time comes, DON'T post any spoilers about the movie
Without further ado, let's get into the net instalment!
Beacon Academy (3rd Person POV)
Shorty after the attack, everyone went back towards Beacon to get some much deserved rest. Thankfully however, it was a Friday meaning that they didn't have any classes today. So they thought it would be a good opportunity to gather and share on what they found. But, some of the huntresses-in-training wanted to do their own thing
"So, what did you and Ruby find out Weiss?" Yang asked
"Well, I found that the White Fang have been doing more than just robbing Dust stores" Weiss said, empathzing on the word I as she glared towards Ruby, who laughed nervously
Blake perched up with a worried expression "They have?"
"Yes, there have been multiple robberies of Dust trains and freighters for the past coupe months. Clearly, the White Fang are serious about this" Weiss said
"Not to mention that they have a giant chicken in their arsenal" Yang muttered
"What could they possibly need with that much Dust?" Ruby asked
"I don't know...and that worries me" Blake said sombrely
"What about you Blake? Did you find anything?" Weiss asked
"Well, as you guys are aware, they aren't just stealing Dust and military equipment. They also appear to be operating somewhere in the Southeast" Blake said
Yang slammed her fists together "So, it's the Southeast then! Let's go!" She shouted as she jumped to he feet
"Wrong" Weiss said
"Wrong?" Yang questioned
"I don't know about any of you, bu I'm tired. We just fought a giant robot and barely survived against a Titan!" Weiss shouted "Besides, the Southeast!? That's it!? While it is a direction, that's still a vague direction to go on. We're going to need more information than what we currently have"
Everyone wanted to interject, but Weiss was right. Sure they can take on a robot, but they can't take on an entire army of misguided Faunus along with a Titan that an move faster than the eye can see
"That's true..." Yang trailed off
"Anyways Yang, did you find out about anything?" Ruby asked
"Not much..." Yang trailed off. But her eyes slightly widened "Wait! There was an address...somewhere near...uhhh"
"You don't know, do you?" Weiss asked
"Now hold on! CJA_ checked out that address, maybe they found something!" Yang said
"And you tell us this now!? Go find them!" Weiss shouted
Just as Yang was about to go, her scroll went off. She walked over to her scroll, unlocked it and read a text message from Chris: "It's 8:30, where are you?"
"Oh shoot!" Yang shouted as she rushed around her dorm, grabbing a yellow duffel bag before rushing out the door, only to be stopped by Weiss
"Where are you going!?" She asked
"Oh, I agreed to spar with Chris this morning!" Yang said as she ran out of her dorm "I'll ask him on what he found!"
Weiss sighed as she turned towards her remaining teammates "Anyways, what do you two want to-" She tried to say
Blake cut her off "Sorry, but I'm...busy with something" She said as she walked out of her dorm in the opposite direction of Yang
"Speaking of..." Weiss trailed off as she turned towards Ruby "I don't believe you! You were the one who said you wanted to go to the tower!" Weiss screamed "And after dragging me around you go off somewhere with Penny! Then you leave the investigation to me!...RUBY, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!?"
"I said I was sorry" Ruby said, trying to clm down the situation "I'll buy you some cake, and we can call it even"
"NO!" Weiss yelled
.
.
.
"How about some cookies then?" Ruby asked
Weiss facepalmed "Oh, geez..." Weiss took in a breather before sighing "It's nothing new..." I began "But I wish you would think before acting a little more"
"Well we got the information we needed...and found Penny. Everything workout out, right?" Ruby asked
"I guess, but..." Weiss trailed off 'It should have been...my chance to speak to him alone'
Beacon Academy, Arena (3rd Person POV)
Beacon Academy's arena is where sparring class takes place. However, the arena is open to whoever wants to spar. Rather to practise a bit more, settling a score, or to let off some steam
In this case, Chris and Yang had booked the arena for an hour to themselves. Currently, the leader of Team CJA_ was waiting in the arena for his sparring partner...and he was nervous
One, his sparring partner was Yang Xiao Long, the blonde bombshell. Known throughout Beacon for her looks, her bad flirting and...her temper. The last guy she thought took a good chunk of her hair out by accident. Some say to this day...he still can't feel his boys
At that thought, shivers went down his spine "Yeah...I think I'm gonna die"
('Can you stop complaining? She's sacrificing a part of her day to help you')
"Yeah, yeah I know that!" Chris said "But still, I'm about to fight Yang Xiao Long for fuck's sake!"
('Remember, this is just training, not a fight') Dagon clarified
"Still nervous as hell" Chris muttered "And do I have to wear these stupid things!?" He asked, guesting to a set of bracers on his leg. These were designed to limit leg movement, best you could do with them it, is only to lift your knee up "I mean, kicking is a part of hand-to-hand, right?"
('True, but I highly doubt you can...roundhouse kick your opponent in Titan form. I believe that's how she put it?')
Chris chuckled "Yeah"
But before he could continue his conversation, he was cut off by the sound of the arena door's opening as Yang walked inside "Hey" She greeted, as she placed a yellow duffel bag on a nearby bench
"Hey" Chris greeted "Thanks for coming"
"No problem" Yang said, then her eyes trailed towards Chris's set of leg bracers "Uh...what are you wearing?"
"You mean this?" Chris asked, gesturing to a set of leg bracers "It's a set of leg bracers"
"But, it looks like it will limit your foot movement, which is crucial in hand-to-hand combat" Yang said
"Well as you recall...Godzilla is a little...bottom heavy" Chris said, thinking about how thick his legs are in Titan form
"Oh, gotcha" Yang said as both fighters stepped into the arena "However, before I actually show you some moves~" Yang flirted "You have to show me how you punch"
"I fight monsters for a living, I know how to punch" Chris said
Yang smirked "Show me" She said, as she held both of her hands out
Chris tucked his arms in, and struck Yang's palm
"Hmm...not bad, but I think you can do better" Yang said
"You want to show me how to punch?" Chris asked holding one of his palms out, causing Yang to smirk "Show me how to-*CRACK*" He tried to say. But was suddenly cut off when Yang struck him in the face with a loud crack, causing him to stumble to the ground
"That's how you punch" Yang said
.
.
"Were you even aiming for the hand!?" Chris asked, still holding his nose
"Nope!" Yang said "You have to be ready for anything" She said as she got into another stance "Now, let's continue"
'...I'm gonna die' Chris thought to himself as he got up and got into a stance of his own 'I wonder how everyone else is doing?'
Beacon Academy, Library (3rd Person POV)
Just like every other day, the library was filled with students, walking between shelves, picking out their favourite books, or just looking for someplace quiet to study. In that library was Alice, one of the three members of Team CJA_ who was currently sitting at a nearby table. She was currently reading "War Of The Kings", a story that involves four kingdoms fighting for freedom
But as Alice was reading, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Blake who had her eyes constantly glued to the screen. She could be studying...but she stayed in that same position for almost five minutes, meaning something was wrong
Alice closed her book, got up and walked towards Blake "Hey, Blake!" Alice greeted
"..." Blake remained silent, her eyes still glued to the screen
"Blake?" Alice repeated
"..."
Alice, reached over and poked Blake's cat ears, which were hidden under her bow. Blake suddenly shot up, and grabbed Alice my the throat...but her grip was way to weak. She realized what she's doing and let go "Alice! I'm...I'm sorry...I'm just bus right now"
"Oh, no! It's alright" Alice reassured "Are you still coming tonight?"
"Hmm?" Blake asked
"You know, book club!" Alice said, as she pulled out "War Of The Kings" from her back "We're going to be reading and talking over War Of The Kings, are you coming? Velvet was supposed to be back by then..."
.
.
"Sorry...but no" Blake said, as she turned back towards the computer screen
Alice's eyes widened. Usually, Blake would be interested in something like this "B-But why!?"
"I'm...busy right now" Blake said, still staring at the screen
Alice peaked over Blake's shoulder, and saw that she was doing research on Dust robberies, White Fang attacks and any possible sightings of Gigan
Blake sighed "Alice...do you mind leaving me alone. I need to focus"
"O-Okay..." Alice said, as she began to walk away from Blake "Is...something wrong with her?"
('Obsession') Lea said
"W-What?' Alice asked
('She's obsessed') Lea explained ('From the Mechagodzilla, to Gigan, the White Fang seemed to have a massive arsonal in their disposal, and she's doing all that she can to stop that...but eventually...all of that effort will be in vain. When the time comes, she'll not be ready, she'll die')
Alices eyes widened "Can't we do something?"
('You can...but sometimes ones best teacher...is themselves. And we should leave it at that. But I'm pretty sure that her teammates ar doing something about it')
Alice turned back towards Blake, whose eyes were still glued to the computer screen in-front of her. She could only downcast as she walked away...now where is she going to get a reading partner?
Beacon Tower (3rd Person POV)
As for the other Team CJA_ members, they were doing their own thing. Jeffery was sitting in his dorm, that is until he was called upon Professor Ozpin. Currently he was standing in the elevator, ascending to Ozpin's office. All he can do is think about what was going to happen, was it because of what happened last night, or was it because Ozpin needed a favour from them
But with General Ironwood here, he has a bad feeling in his stomach. He never really respected the "higher-ups" ever since of they crushed his dream. But it was probably for the better...considering those that did the deed were removed from their position
He looked down at his pocket, and pulled out a small flash drive that contained his "masterpiece", the program he called NIGEL. The elevator made a sligtn ding, Jeffery chuckled a little before putting the flash drive back into his pocket as the doors opened, revealing Ozpin who was sitting at his desk, and Ironwood who was standing beside his desk
"Hey, Oz" Jeffery greeted
Ironwood cleared his throat
"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry, I was distracted by the sound of Atlas aircrafts blocking my view once more" Jeffery said, causing Ironwood to growl
"Why didn't you ask Mr..." Ironwood tailed off
"He doesn't use a last name" Ozpin said "Mr. Blaze"
Jeffery turned around "Yeah?"
"Please, sit down" Ozpin said
"No thanks, I prefer standing" Jeffery said
Ozpin chuckled "Very well"
"Anyways, what did you want to talk about?" Jeffery asked
"I believe I should let the gneral explain himself" Ozpin said, signalling Ironwood
Ironwood stepped forward "Due to recent events, I've requested that Team CJA_ to transfer to Atlas Acadmey" Ironwood said "I be-" He tried to say
Jeffery cut him off "The answer is no"
.
.
"What do you mean, no?" Ironwood asked
"I mean what I said, and I said no" Jeffery said "And I'm speaking on behalf of my team"
"But you haven't let me exp-" Ironwood tried to say
Jeffery cut him of once more "You don't need to. I know what you're trying to do and I'm telling you it won't work"
Ironwood took in a deep sigh before continuing "I'm the General of the Atlas Military" Ironwood said "This a matter between me and Ozpin. You have no say in this"
"Considering it involves me and my friends, yeah it does" Jeffery said "And if we go by rank-logic, Chris technically outranks you"
Ironwood whipped his head "How!?"
"He's literally a Titan...the king of all monsters!" Jeffery said
"The why doesn't he do something!?" Ironwood said, irritation in his voice "Monsters are attacking left and right, I even had to leave my kingdom open!"
"I don't know, why can't you do something about these Dust robberies and White Fang attacks?" Jeffery said
.
"Exactly..." Jeffery said
Ozpin stood up "If I may. I believe what he's trying to say is that Godzilla might be the King of all monsters, it doesn't mean that all the Titans listen to him. The same can apply here, we may have a council and a set of rules and laws, but there are a select few that don't follow them"
.
"I know that" Ironwood said "But as of right now, they've become way too destructive, you're students are becoming very reckless, which is why I-" He tried to say
Jeffery cut him off "Reckless!? Us!? Says the guy who planted a fucking oxygen-destroying bomb that wiped out an entire village!"
Ironwood's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and horror "H-How did you know about-" He tried to say
Jeffery cut him off "Yeah, we're not the only ones hiding shit! You expect us to follow in lines just like those droids out there!? Well guess what, that's not how I roll! You talk about talk and coordination, but here you are hiding something that is capable of wiping out everything! Now both me and you know that it doesn't require that much power to kill simple Grimm. So my question is...what the hell were you going to use it on?" Jeffery asked sternly "If you really want us working together, then I need to know...NOW!"
.
.
Silence filled the room. Ironwood let out a deep sigh as he pulled his scroll out of his pocket and handed it to Jeffery. What was on the scroll was a folder titled "Latitude Zero". He tapped on the folder, and was met with an audio recording
"This is Whiskey to Tango, Whiskey to tango. Give us your six. over!"
"Copy, just doing a few test runs befor-...hey...were there any reports of thunderstorms today?"
"Uh...not until next Friday, why?"
"Because...there's one heading straight towards the kingdom...but..."
"But what?"
"It looks...alive"
.
.
"Wait what is that!? By the gods! It's massive! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH—"
"Around twenty-two years ago during a test run on an anti-gravity vehicle...they found something...something big" Ironwood said as he paced around the room "At first we thought it was a Wyvern, but after further investigation...we found out it was something else. something bigger"
Jeffery continued to scroll through the data, that is until he came across a photo. The photo was that of a massive storm cloud, lightning flickering in the background...revealing a three headed silhouette with massive wings that could blanket an entire kingdom in shadows
"I-It couldn't...could it...?" Jeffery muttered
"After it's discovery, we classified the whole operation to prevent a panic and I approved the Lucky Dragon project in order to kill it. However, with what happened with Lower Glenn, the project was immediately shut down" Ironwood said "But with what Ozpin told me, it seems like this...Ghidorah you call it is b-" he tried to say
Jeffery cut him off "It isn't him"
.
"W-What!?" Ironwood shouted
"It's too small" Jeffery said as he handed Ironwoods scroll back to him "It may be a Ghidorah...but not the one that me and Chris encountered"
"So, it might be a different breed, or perhaps a juvenile?" Ozpin suggested
Jeffery nodded "Where is it now?"
Ironwood sighed "We've been keeping an eye out for any unnatural storms across Remnant, but...nothing. almost as if it disappeared off the face of the planet. If I may ask...how worried should we be?"
"Very, very worried" Jeffery said "Especially when it's still out there!"
"Which is why I brought my men here!" Ironwood shouted
"But why here of all places?" Jeffery asked "It wouldn't end well if it shows up on the opposite side of the planet!"
Ironwood sighed as he pressed a button on his scroll. A few small holograms pop up, showing the various attacks around the globe "According these results, the city of Vale have suffered more attacks than any other kingdom"
"Wait, are you saying that something might be drawing them here?" Jeffery asked
"It is possible" Ozpin said
"But...with the amount of Dust in the kingdom, it shouldn't be enough for all of t-" Jeffery stopped himself "...You think it might be us?"
"That is the conclusion that the General came up with" Ozpin said
Ironwood began typing away at his scroll, another screen pops up showcasing the battle between Godzilla and Gigan, but right beside it was a small box that was supposed to measure the energy output of Dust crystals
The Godzilla in the recording began to charge up its crimson beam as the bars inside the charts began fluctuating up and down uncontrollably. But as he fired the crimson beam, the bars began to skyrocket out of control until the label said "Energy Output: Three Terrawatts"
"The energy output of that attack , surpassed any and all expectations" Ironwood said
"What are you saying exactly?" Jeffery asked
"I'm saying that your friend might be the strongest source of energy on this planet" Ironwood said "And I have strict orders from the council of Atlas to bring Godzilla down for study"
Jeffery's heart dropped at the thought of losing his only friend. He began to shoot and angry glare towards the general "NOW HOLD ON A GOD DAMN SECOND! IF YOU THINK I'M JUST GONNA SIT BACK AND WATCH YOU STRIKE HIM DOWN, I WON'T HESISTATE TO I-"
Ozpin held his palm up "That is enough" He turned towards the general "James, next time I'd recommend you explain the whole situation in detail before speaking"
James nodded "I said that the council wanted Godzilla for study, not your friend" James clarified "As far as they know, Chris and Godzilla are entirely separate beings. The best I can do is try to delay my men as best as I can. However, I've also been ordered to gather as much intel on the Titans as possible. And Ozpin told me of how you've been handling them"
"What are you implying exactly?" Jeffery growled
Ironwoods response was to press a button on his scroll. The elevator made a slight ding as the doors opened, revealing...an Atlesian Knight. However instead of it having a white and black colour scheme, it now supported a yellow and black colour scheme, similar to that of a bumblebee
"...Uh...what is that?" Jeffery asked "Well, besides a robot"
"As you know, we revealed the Atlesian Knights to the public" Ironwood said "This unit is unique, built to study and gather the remains of these beasts. I would like for you to take it with you whenever you're out in the field"
"...That's a lot of trust Ironwood" Jeffery said "And you didn't exactly set a good impression the first time we met"
"That was because I was...surprised" Ironwood said "Admittedly, I shouldn't have said that. We are...allies now, meaning we are going to have to work together if we do stand a chance against those things...especially him"
Jeffery sighed as he poundered his thoughts. Was this a way for Ironwood to keep an eyes on the beasts? And why gather samples of these beasts, is it for study? Perhaps it can be used to cure diseases...for now, he'll just play along. Besides, Jeffery had a more...sinister idea in mind in what to do with the yellow Atlesian Knight
"Alright, I'll play along" Jeffery said "However, I can't guarantee it will always come back in one piece"
Ironwood sighed, as Jeffery walked towards the elevator, with the yellow Atlesian Knight walking behind him. As Jeffery entered the elevator, Ironwood took in a deep breath, seemingly relived that he's gone
"Don't take it personal James, he's like that with everyone. Including myself" Ozpin said
"And...you just let him treat you like this!? Why!?" Ironwood asked
"He's has his reasons. Perhaps something happened to him that made him snap back at teachers" Ozpin said "I receive about four complaints per day, but I tend to ignore them. Perhaps in the near future, he'll...mature. But for now, let him play the part. After all, this is a role that they're not going to have forever. Did you need anything else?"
Ironwood sighed "Yes, as a matter of fact" He said as he pulled out his scroll once more, showing what looked like a giant, deformed skull "While my men was patrolling the ocean for any signs of Godzilla, they found an island, just southwest of Menagerie" He said as he began to pace around the room
"And why bring it up?" Ozpin asked
"The island is surrounded by a continuous storm system" Ironwood said
"You could've told them about it" Ozpin said
"It could be nothing" Ironwood said "But until we fully know what is on that island, I'd prefer it if we didn't get unnecessary attention, especially them"
"They're not our enemy, general" Ozpin said "If you really want to see one's true character, give them power. If they really wanted to misuse their power, they would've done it by now. Besides, the world needs them, for what's coming"
Ironwood sighed "I trust you Oz...but I wish that you'd take this more seriously" He said as he began to walk towards the elevator.
As the doors closed, it left a dissatisfied Ozpin "I have been taking this seriously, more than you realize"
Beacon Academy, Arena (3rd Person POV)
Almost an hour has passed and the two were still going at it. Yang was still throwing punches, grappling, and any essential technique to hand-to-hand combat. Chris on the other hand...wasn't having that much luck. He was able to get a few hits and grapples in, but Yang rather shrugged them off, or slipped out of her jacket
"Too lax!" Yang shouted, as she flipped Chris over her shoulder, slamming him into the ground
"Ow..." Chris muttered
('How's it going?') Dagon asked
'It's...going well...well...as well as it can go, I get a little better every time but in the end...I always end up flat on my back' Chris thought as he stared up towards the ceiling in exhaustion
Yang bent down towards him "Your grip is still too light, and I know it's not because you're too weak"
"I know..." Chris said
"Please don't tell me you're holding back on my account..." Yang deadpanned
"Uh...maybe I am?" Chris questioned "Guess I can't hide anything, can't I?"
"Is it because I'm a girl?" Yang asked
"No..." Chris said
"Is it because of your powers?" Yang asked
"Pretty much" Chris said as he got up, walked towards one of the bleachers, and took a drink from his water bottle "TO weak, it's like a light grip...but too much and I can break someone's bone"
.
.
.
"By the way, I've mean meaning to ask you something" Yang said
Chris turned towards Yang "What is it?"
.
.
"What's it like...being part Titan?" Yang asked
Chris raised an eyebrow "Why the sudden interest?"
Yang shrugged "I don't know, just curious that's all"
"Well how do I put it..." Chris said, trying to find the right words "To simply put it...it's us, times a thousand, possibly more"
"More?" Yang asked
"I only had these powers for a least six months" Chris clarified "So I don't know my exact limits"
"So, why don't we try to break them?" Yang suggested "It's the only way you'll get stronger"
"...The last time I did that...I almost incinerated an entire intersection" Chris deadpanned
"Oh..." Yang muttered
"Yeah...it was the first time I really got angry" Christian said
"Angry?" Yang asked
"Yeah, I think part of my powers are connected to my emotions" Christian said
"So, it's kind of like my semblance" Yang said
"Your semblance?" Chris said
Yang nodded "Yeah, with every hit, I can dish it back twice as strong. However, depending on my mood is how I use my strength"
"I see" Chris said
But before Chris could respond, Yang's scroll suddenly went off. She walked over to the bench and grabbed her scroll to see a text from Ruby "Well, as much as I do want to stick around, I gotta go. Same time tomorrow?"
"Yeah" Chris said, as Yang began to walk out "And that paper is due next week!"
"Ugh! I was hoping you've forgotten about that!" Yang complained as she walked out
Beacon Hallway (3rd Person POV)
Yang, Ruby and Weiss were currently walking towards Professor Ozpin's office. For whatever reason, they didn't know, but what they did know that if Professor Ozpin called them up, then it has to be important. Currently, all three of them were in the elevator and were ascending towards his office
"Why do you think Professor Ozpin called us up for?" Ruby asked
"Yang did you do something!?" Weiss asked
"What!? No!" Yang said "I was out sparring with Chris"
"Oh, how was it?" ruby asked
"It was fine" Yang said "Needs some work, but his strength isn't bad"
"Did you ask him of what they learned?" Weiss asked
"Uh...no..." Yang said
"WHAT!?" Weiss shouted
"I'm sorry! Besides, I already have enough to do as it is!" Yang defended "I haven't even gotten started on that paper..."
Weiss sighed "Well...do you need any help with that?"
Yang's eyes lit up "Yes! Thank you!"
"But first, have you heard of the Square Cube Law?" Weiss asked
"Yes, its the...uhhhh..." Yang trailed off
Weiss sighed "It's a mathematical principle, it states that every square inch of a giant bone has to support ten times the weight borne by a square inch of human bone...did you get that?"
"Uh...no" Yang said, in disappointment
"To simply put it, the Titans would be crushed from their own flesh and blood" Weiss stated
"Then...how do they exist?" Yang asked
Weiss shrugged "I'm not sure. Take the Grimm for example, we don't know that much about them despite fighting them for as long as humanity was here"
However, before any of them could respond, the elevator made a slight ding as the doors opened, revealing Professor Ozpin sitting at his desk
"Ah, girls, come in" Ozpin said, as Team RWBY walked into his office
"Professor...did you need something?" Weiss asked
"I do, Miss Schnee" Professor Ozpin said "I called you up here because, I'd like to talk to you all about something"
Team RW_Y went pale 'Crap! He knows that we went on that unauthorized investigation' They all mentally screamed
"A-About...w-what...?" Weiss stumbled
Ozpin chuckled as he held his hand up in reassurance "It's alright, none of you are in trouble. As a matter of fact, I have to ask you a favour"
"Uh...what kind of favour?" Ruby asked
"As you already know, Team CFVY's mission was supposed end sometime...but no one has heard from them" Ozpin said
Ruby's eyes widened "Does that mean you're-" She tried to say
Ozpin cut her off "No, we've already sent a few Huntsman and Huntresses to where they are now" Ozpin reassured, as he got up from his desk "So I'd like to ask of you to pick up where they left off"
"And that is...?" Yang asked
"Before they left, I asked them if they could plan for the Beacon Ball" Ozpin said "So, I would appreciate if you'd like to pick up where Team CFVY left off"
.
.
.
"WHAT!?" RW_Y shouted in surprise.
As Ozpin said this, Team RW_Y had multiple thoughts on how the dance should go. Yang was thinking about a "night-club based dance". While Weiss was thinking about something formal, similar to what she had went too as a kid. Ruby was extremely enthusiastic about the whole thing. Sure she had planned over events back on Patch, such as parties, holidays, or other events.
But this was the first time she was going to plan something big, but this time with her teammates. But...she was sad that not all of them might be able to hep out, let alone come to the dance. But she'll think of something, but in the meantime...
"We'll do it!" Ruby proclaimed
Ozpin chuckled "Very well" He said as he picked up a stack of papers and walked over to the young team of Huntresses. He handed the documents to Ruby "Here is a list of items I'll need you to get. You are able to plan the dance however you see fit. As long as it's...appropriate"
"Wait, what happened to the last dance?" Yang asked
Flashback (1 Year Ago), Beacon Academy, Ballroom (3rd Person POV)
After the students sang along led by Casey and Jeff at the stage, everyone released a round of applause towards the two singers, as they took a bow and walked off the stage.
It was now time for the star of the show, Claude the Hypnotist! Famous for his famous hypnotist act, even the most focus minded couldn't resist it
As he walked on stage, he was met with a round of applause. He then waved his hand off, calming the crowd down. He explained that for his act, he was going to put the entire crowd into a trance
"Yes, each and every one of you and all at the same time!" He finished
The excited chatter dropped to silence as Claude carefully withdrew, from his waistcoat pocket, a beautiful antique gold pocket watch and chain.
"I want you to keep your eyes on this watch" said Claude, holding the watch high for all to see "It's a very special and valuable watch that has been in my family for six generations,"
He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch - watch the watch - watch the watch"
The audience became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth. The lights were twinkling as they were reflected from its gleaming surfaces. One hundred and fifty pairs of eyes followed the movements of the gently swaying watch. They were all hypnotized.
"Now then...I want all of you to-" He tried to say, only to be cut off at the sight of the watch's chain snapping. His eyes widened as he saw the golden watch fall to the ground, which burst into tiny fragments "OH SHIT!" He shouted
Beacon Tower, (Present Day) (3rd Person POV)
"Let's just say...we had to clean the Ballroom for the next three days" Ozpin said, cringing at the memory
.
.
"...Now I want to find out even more" Yang said, interested of what happened "Maybe I should ask the second years"
"Now, do you have any questions?" Ozpin asked
"No, sir!" RW_Y said in unison
"Good. I've already sent you a list" Ozpin said
Team RW_Y nooded as they walked towards the elevator
Beacon Academy, Hallway (3rd Person POV)
Right after Ozpin ask them to set up the dance, Team RW_Y had their own ideas. Yang wanted to do a "Night-club" dance, while Weiss was aiming for something elegant
"I"m telling you guys! We need to add fog machines to the dance!" Yang suggested
Weiss shook her head "No! Do you have any idea what that'll do!? Besides, I was thinking of something more...elegant" She said as she pulled out her scroll "Now, I was thinking that we should get doilies for the table"
Yang scoffed "What is this, a dinner party? Sorry Weiss, but I have to disagree on that"
"Hey, you're all here" A voice said, causing everyone to turn around to see Sun and Neptune walking towards them
"Good seeing you guys again" Neptune said
"Yo" Sun greeted
"Sun! And Neptune!" Ruby shouted "Where did you guys go yesterday? We were worried"
"We went to go eat" Sun said
"EAT!?" Ruby shouted
"Sun wanted to go eat all of a sudden" Neptune said "I wanted to stick around, but..."
"Hey, hey, hey. You were into the idea" Sun said
"Oh, I thought you were scared of riding with me" Yang said
"No, I wasn't. Scared had nothing to do with it" Neptune defended
"In any case. I'm glad both of you...are all right" Weiss said
"Hey, sorry we took off last night" Neptune apologized "I heard you guys took down that big old robot"
"I did. It was...relatively easy for us" Weiss said
Neptune lightly chuckled "Wow"
"WEISS!" A voice shouted, causing everyone to turn their attention towards Jaune "Hey Weiss! I got two tickets for the concert in Vale! Front row! You wanna go?"
.
.
"No" Weiss simply said as she walked away, causing Jaune to completely dropp to his knees in defeat
"One day" Yang said, rubbing Jaune's head
"What am I doing wrong...?" Jaune muttered
Beacon West Dormitories (3rd Person POV)
Shortly after training with Yang, Chris was heading back towards his dorm, that is until he walked into Alice. Currently the two were walking back towards their dorm, but out of the corner of their eyes, they saw Jeffery in the opposite direction towards them
"Oh, Hey Jeffery!" Alice greeted
Jeffery lifted his hand "How are you guys doing?"
"Eh, fine...got my ass handed to me on a silver platter..." Chris muttered "But, it was good fun"
"Well, that's good" Jeffery said. He then turned towards Alice "How about you, Alice?"
Just as Alice was about to respond, she caught a yellow Atlesian Knight walking towards them, but suddenly stopped when it was within arms reach of Jeffery "Uh...why do you have an Atlesian Knight walking behind you?" Alice asked
"And why is it painted like Pikachu?" Chris asked
"Who's Pikachu?" Alice asked
"A very, very cute yellow rat" Chris said "But, back to the robot, why is he following you?'
"Ironwood said that we were getting a bit...reckless" Jeffery said, causing Chris to scratch the back of his head "It's not your fault, honestly I would've done the same thing if someone talked shit about me like that. But, if we're going out on missions like this, we have to take him along with us"
"So, he's our unofficial fourth member to the team?" Alice asked
"Pretty much" Jeffery said, as he unlocked the door to the Team CJA_ dorm, sat down at a nearby desk and began tying away at his computer
"Hey, what has you down Alice?" Chris asked
"Oh...it's just...Blake's not coming to book club" Alice said
"Do...you need a reading partner?" Chris asked
Alice's head perked up "Yes please!"
Chris chuckled "Alright-" But he suddenly stopped "Wait...how do we know if Ironwood has a built in microphone and camera in that thing? No offence, but I'd appreciate we didn't hav anyone breathing down our necks"
"It doesn't" Jeffery said, typing at his keyboard
"Wait, how do you know that?" Chris asked
Jeffery leaned back in his chair, showing what he was working on his laptop. On the screen was the schematics of the yellow Atlesian Knight, showcasing all of its parts, including a few functions none of them knew about
"Are you...hacking into that thing?" Chris asked
"Yep!" Jeffery said with glee "Right now, I'm replacing his remote AI with NIGEL. Just so that way it has more...personality!"
"I don't know if I should be scared or intrigued of what you have planned" Chris said
"But won't we get in trouble for that?" Alice asked
"I guess not, considering that Ironwood gave that to us" Chris said "As long as we don't break it, we should be fine. But...I highly doubt it that it'll always come back in one piece"
"True" Jeffery said, but suddenly his eyes widened
"Something wrong?" Chris asked
"Oh, uh...nothing" Jeffery said "Hey, Chris...can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Oh, should I leave in pri-" Alice tried to say
Jeffery cut her off "No, I think its something we all need to hear"
"...Is it that bad?" Chris asked in concern. Usually, Jeffery doesn't get that serious, even in tense situations. So whatever it was, bad was a massive understatement
Jeffery nodded "Yeah" He said as he sat down, catching both Chris and Alices attention "I was called up to Ozpin's office today, for an...important matter. Apparently General Ironwood wanted to ask for Ozpin's permission to switch schools, to Atlas Academy"
Chris's and Alice's eyes widened "So...what did he say?" Chris asked
Jeffery shrugged "I don't know, but it looks like Ozpin wasn't a big fan of the idea. So, he asked me instead"
"And...want did you say?" Alice asked
"I said no" Jeffery said "But that isn't what I'm talking about"
"Then...what are you talking about?" Chris asked
Jeffery sighed "...Do you...remember what we found at that destroyed village"
"You mean Lower Glenn?" Chris asked "Yeah...but what does that have to do w-" He tried to say, but cut himself off, knowing what Jeffery was implying "...You know something"
Jeffery nodded "When I told Ironwood what we found...he revealed on what he was going to use it on"
"W-What was he going to use it on?" Alice asked, with fear in her voice. A weapon with that much power is enough to kill all life form in an instant, but it was too much, meaning they had planned to use it on something bigger
Jeffery's response was to pull a folded photo from his pocket and handed it to Chris. Alice looked over his shoulder, as Chris unfolded the photo Jeffery handed to him
As the photo unfolded, Chris' and Alice's widened a the sight of a three-headed silhouette on the photo. It had a pair of wings big enough to shroud an entire kingdom in shadows
"I-Is t-this what I t-think it i-is!?" Alice asked, slightly trembling
"Might be" Jeffery said
Chris' head shot up "What do you mean might be!?"
"Take a look at the heads" Jeffery said, point at the photo "It looks like that the necks are far too short than the one we...saw" Jeffery said "It may be a Ghidorah..but it's not him"
.
.
Chris sighed "...You're right...but maybe it knows"
Jeffery cocked an eyebrow "What do you mean?"
"Maybe...it knows where he is" Chris said
Jeffery stood up "Who, whoa, whoa, hold on a damn second! May I mind you that this was over twenty years ago. Who knows where it is now!"
"I know, but I have to check it out" Chris said
"Even though you can't set foot onto Solitas without getting shot at?" Jeffery asked
"What do you mean?" Chris asked "Of course their going to shoot!"
"That's not what I men" Jeffery said "The Atlas council placed a bounty on Godzilla's head. So if you're spotted, they will attack and who knows, maybe they'll sent out that Kiryu they've been working on. And may I remind you that Kiryu was built from the remains of the original Mechagodzilla, THE same mech that almost killed you!"
"But what about you!?' Chris asked "You of all people would want to go after him! He ate your mother!"
"Thanks for the reminder! I know!" Jeffery said "But I'm not going out of my way, going on some sort of wild goose chase! Why can't you just-" He tried to say
Chris cut him off "I already lost everything else! I'm not losing it again!"
.
.
Jeffery sighed, as he placed a hand on Chris' shoulder "I know what you're thinking. I've also been in your shoes, all I'm asking is until we know more...we can't take any chances. If we learn more, then ALL of us are going out to hunt this bastard down, alright?"
.
.
Chris took in a deep breath "...Alright...as soon as we know more, we drop whatever it is we're doing and we kill the bastard"
Jeffery chuckled "That's what I like to hear"
Beacon Ballroom (Weiss POV)
Team RWBY were currently setting up the ballroom, with the exception of Blake who was doing her own thing
Yang was currently sitting on a chair backwards, using the backrest to lean "But, boy...Jaune won't give up will he? Gotta respect his tenacity"
I sighed "I wish he would consider my feelings on the subject. He is too persistent.." I said "He's never even asked...how I feel about him"
Ruby placed a table down "He feels strongly about you. He just doesn't know how else to show it"
But I find myself...thinking about Neptune
I wonder what he thinks about. What he sees day to day. And how he feels about it. I know nothing about him.
"Let's come up with the decorations for the dance party" Yang suggested
"LEt's do it!" Ruby said, pumping her fist
I smiled "I have a great idea. It should be refined, with lots of lace"
"I think a night-club-type feel would be great" Yang suggested
I would like to get to know him better
"Are you going to dance all night?" I asked
"I wonder if Blake will come? I hope she feel's better..." Yang sad
"Leave Blake to me!" Ruby sad
There's going to be a dance. And will ask him to join me. This will be a fun night
Lower Cairn (3rd Person POV)
The first one is teenage girl with fair skin, short dark-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. She has wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel.
Her clothes consist of a long, cocoa-colored shirt with an upturned layered frill collar with a black single strapped waist cincher. She wears black leather trousers that have golden lining around the pocket and ribbons attached to the back of a golden zipper seam around her knees. A black golden studded belt is normally hidden by a large cocoa-colored belt with gun cartridges on the left side and a large golden crosshair buckle. A large piece of black fabric is attached to her belt hanging down on her right side. She wears a pair of dark black, high-heeled leather calf-high boots with golden buckles.
Her outfit also dons a number of accessories, such as a bracelet with black roses as decoration; these are accompanied by black gloves and three beaded necklaces alongside a black scarf tied around her collar. She wears a black beret with a cocoa brown trim and a pair of black, wire-rimmed aviator sunglasses. She is seen holding a black shoulder bag with gold studs, which is held by a bandolier strap
This was Coco Adel
The next hunter is also a teenage boy with dark skin and dark, messy copper hair that has a long fringe and a wears a sleeveless, muted orange zipper vest with black lining and a high collar, a pair of black jeans, and brown, laced shoes. His eyes are pure white, showing that he is physically blind. His arms are covered in scars, and he has a vertical scar on his lips. He also wears a pair of long black gloves and has several pouches attached to his belt.
This was Fox Alistar
Right beside him is a tall and athletic-looking young man with shaved-short black hair and tanned skin, who wears mostly pale-green and brown attire. He has a long short-sleeved robe, which he wears on one shoulder over a black muscle shirt. The robe is fastened at the waist by a leather armored belt with two pouches on it. He also wears brown pants and black-and-green boots. His left arm bears a 5-layer sode which extends up past his shoulder.
This was Yatsuhashi
And hiding right behind him was Velvet Scarlatina
Team CFVY was assigned to protect the village of Lower Cairn from a surprise Grimm attack. recently the village had a problem with a horde of Kamoebas that began to eat their crops. Every was going well, they began to pick of the Grimm one by one, until none of them remained
But they had to stay their scheduled time...but that was a week ago...and this is now
What began as a small rescue mission now began to turn into one of survival, while ensuring the safety of others. Any attempts to contact the outside world has failed, the villages communications tower was down, meaning they had no one to contact
And it all began with it arrived at Lower Cairn
Currently, Velvet, one of the members of Team CFVY was running for her life. She, and along with her teammates made one last-minute effort to scan the whole village, and look for survivors, only to no avail. But as they were making their way back, they were ambushed by a massive creature and got separated
As the lone huntress ran throughout the village, she had tripped over something and landed in a small puddle. Velvet held her head in pain, but as she removed her hand...she released it was covered in someones blood
Her eyes widened in horror as she slowly looked over her shoulder, only to see that she had tripped over a corpse. Whatever did this, the body was severely mauled, it looked like some of the corpses limbs were rather ripped or bit off, but what stood out the most is that it and a permanent look of horror of his face
Velvet's began to hyperventilate as she stumbled towards her feet. But as she did, she heard the sound of...scrapping...almost like something was scrapping it's claws across the stone walls. Velvet felt the very ground start to shake as something made it's way across the village
Velvet clinged to the wall for dear life, keeping her back against as as she slowly shuffled her feet, trying t stay as quiet as she could. But before she could turn the corner...something massive came into view
The monster had a feline-like posture and is covered in overlapping black armour with orange membranes on each side of its neck and torso. It has four digits on each hand with defined yellow claws with spikes on it's elbows and knees. It has yellow curved scutes on her back which decrease in size when going down her back which ends in a triple forked tail located at the tip, similar to a trident
Upon instinct, Velvet turned the corner, attempting to hide from the creature. Her heart was racing as her legs started to shake. Velvet suddenly froze as the ground under her shook, and became more violent the closer the creature got.
The creature leaned it's massive head down as its tongue flickered in the air...almost as if it was searching...perhaps for more food? But before the creature could locate Velvet, it was met with a barrage of bullets to it's face. The creature whipped its head to see a lone, wounded Huntsman in the distance, firing his rifle towards the monster
"EURWEEARG" Enraged, the monster charged towards the man. Desperate, the lone Huntsman began to fire bullets left and right, but it seemed like they were bouncing off of the monsters hide. The man stared wide eyed at the monster as it reeled one of it's massive claws up and sliced the man in two
The mans upper torso flew up in the air, as the monster caught it in it's jaws mid-air. it began to move its jaws up and down, the crunching of bones echoed throughout the area. As it finished its snack, the monster turned back towards the hose where it was originally
But as it made its way back, whatever was there was gone by now. Eat. Grow. Repeat. Those words echoed through the monsters head...and it did just that. It consumed nearly every living being in that village...aside from those four who tried to stop it, only to fail miserably
In time, she'll find them again...and then they will know the true meaning of Vengeance
