A/N: Hello, and welcome to another installment of My Turn!

Look at that. I actually kept my promise this time. Hopefully, I can continue to do so.

Also…ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! ARRIBA!

*throws Mexican fiesta*

This story has gone on for a full year, now. And it's been a fun ride so far.

Man. One year. Where does the time go?

Anyway, time for what you all are waiting for.

The battle of the ships! Cold Steel vs. Silencer!

On with the chapter!


Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY.


(Winter POV; Ten minutes prior)

Neopolitan and I were currently standing in front of the auditorium, where we would periodically patrol inside for any unwanted factors.

I'm now regretting pairing Neo with myself. (A/N: Not like that, shippers. Simmer down.)

Why?

SO HOW CLOSE WAS I IN REGARDS TO CALLING YOU "ICE QUEEN"?

That's why.

I'D LIKE TO THINK I WAS CLOSE CONSIDERING HOW YOU'VE BEEN GIVING ME THE COLD SHOULDER FOR OVER AN HOUR NOW.

For someone who doesn't speak, Neopolitan simply will not shut up.

AND IT'S NOT JUST YOUR PERSONALITY, OF COURSE. THERE'S THE FACT THAT YOUR HAIR IS WHITE LIKE SNOW, YOUR EYES AN ICY BLUE AND COLD AS ICE, AND YOU'RE BASICALLY IN ALL WHITE AND BLUE. ERGO, ICE.

My eye twitched.

THERE'S ALSO THE FACT THAT YOU'RE FROM ATLAS. IT'S COLD AS SHIT UP THERE. I SHOULD KNOW, SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE.

I finally chose to speak in response to that last bit.

"I imagine you were there for, shall we say…less than lawful reasons?"

I PLEAD THE FIFTH.

I rolled my eyes.

Tch. Figures.

SO, DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE A STICK UP YOUR ASS?

I never thought I'd find someone more infuriating than Qrow. But, here she is. The top of her head not even reaching my shoulder.

And to think she's named after the sweet dessert, when she is anything but.

ARE YOU JUST GONNA IGNORE ME MOST OF THE TIME?

"If I can help it, yes."

She let out what appeared to be a silent huff….

How she does that, I'll never know.

Though that does bring up a valid question.

"Are you really mute? Can you truly not speak?

She shook her head.

OF COURSE I CAN TALK!

Huh. Then why doesn't she-?

She beamed.

I JUST DON'T TALK TO BASIC BITCHES!

"I've only known you for a short time, but…I hate you."

HUH? WHY WOULD YOU HATE SOMEONE LIKE ME? I'M ADORABLE!

Don't answer her, Winter. You can't let her get to you.

THEN AGAIN, IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE I'M A CRIMINAL. MAKES SENSE, REALLY. YOU, A SPECIALIST. ME, A CRIMINAL. WE GO TOGETHER ABOUT AS WELL AS CATS AND DOGS.

…That's actually a good point. Perhaps she'll stick with it rather than continue to-.

OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE HOW CLOSE I AM TO COLT?

I scowled.

She smirked.

YEAH. IT'S TOTALLY THAT.

Fuck.

IT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY YOU AND AMBER WERE SO DEAD SET AGAINST ME HANGING WITH COLT AT ALL TODAY. MAKES ME WONDER WHAT YOU THINK MIGHT HAPPEN IF WE WERE ALONE.

Shut up. Just shut the fuck up, you little minx.

She stood in front of me with that same damn smirk.

PERHAPS YOU TWO THINK I'LL…STEAL HIM AWAY?

Just take back what you said earlier, Winter. Qrow is still more infuriating than Neo. Perhaps believing that will keep me from losing my temper right now.

THEN AGAIN, I CAN JUST "STEAL HIM AWAY" WHEN WE'RE ALONE IN HIS ROOM.

Note to self: speak to the headmaster about making new room arrangements for Neo. Also, get Amber to go along with it. She'd certainly be willing to help.

AND IF I MAKE IT GO MY WAY, I MIGHT EVEN GET HIM IN BED!

Note to self: speak to the headmaster soon.

She tilted her head at me.

YOU TWO ARE INTO HIM, RIGHT? GOTTA KEEP TRACK OF THE "COMPETITION", AFTER ALL.

Don't answer that. Pretend you've been taken prisoner and are being interrogated for military secrets.

RHETORICAL QUESTION. YOU COULD LEARN TO PUT ON A POKER FACE, YOU KNOW?

What? That can't be right. I'm acting professional, right now.

Neo pulled out a mirror to show my reflection and…oh.

Were my teeth grinding together this whole time?

AND IT'S PROBABLY BEST TO ASSUME THAT AMBER'S INTO HIM AS WELL.

I took a deep breath and managed to calm myself.

"Neo," I began. "I don't believe this kind of talk is appropriate."

TECHNICALLY, IT IS. WE'RE COWORKERS, AFTER ALL! AND COWORKERS MAKE SMALL TALK.

…Blast, she had a point.

"Well, perhaps I don't wish to make 'small talk' with you?"

She smirked that damn smirk.

AW~, IS SOMEONE SHY? MAYBE THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SO COLD TO EVERYONE? SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO THEM?

You know, she would look good with my sword stabbing her gut.

She twirled her parasol.

ANYWAY, SEEING AS THIS IS A COMPETITION, I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT YOU OR AMBER DON'T STAND A CHANCE.

I tried to maintain a professional tone. "I don't recall there ever being a 'competition'."

She let out a silent scoff.

YEAH, YOU WOULD THINK THAT.

"I beg your pardon?"

YOU PROBABLY THINK YOU HAVE IT IN THE BAG WITH THOSE.

She pointed at my bust.

JUST KNOW THAT I'M NOT LACKING MYSELF IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

I grit my teeth. "That isn't a deciding factor."

PROBABLY NOT. STILL A FACTOR, THOUGH. GUYS TEND TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE GIRL WITH THE BIGGER RACK.

Despite being quite livid at the moment, I saw an opportunity to spite Neo with what she said.

I smirked. "Wouldn't that imply that he'd pay more attention to me rather than you?"

Neo scowled.

Heh. That'll show her.

Her smirk ruined whatever small victory I could revel in.

WHICH ONE OF US IS ROOMING WITH HIM, AGAIN?

I scowled.

YOU MIGHT HAVE THE BIGGER RACK, BUT I'M THE ONE WHO GETS TO SEE HIM MORE OFTEN.

Technically, so is Amber. Colt is essentially her bodyguard, after all….

Wait, do Amber and Neo actually have an advantage over me?

…That simply will not do.

Well, I am the head of security. Perhaps I can-?

SQUEEZE.

I blinked…then looked down to find Neo with her hand on my-.

I slapped her hand away, blushing madly. "W-What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

WHAT? JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THEY WEREN'T FAKE.

She gazed at her hand.

SOFT YET FIRM…YOU MUST'VE GOTTEN REALLY LUCKY DURING PUBERTY.

I glared heatedly. "Y-You will not grope me again!"

UNLESS I WANT TO.

Why that little-!

HONESTLY, I ALMOST WANT TO BURY MY HEAD IN THEM.

"S-Stay away from me."

She silently giggled.

I'M NOT GOING TO TRY. CALM DOWN.

G-Good. Now, if she could just stop talking, then-.

BESIDES, YOU'LL PROBABLY ONLY LET COLT DO THAT.

Goddamn it.

ALMOST ENVY THE GUY, REALLY.

I took a deep breath and let it out. "…I'm done talking to you."

I'M NOT.

"Well then, have fun having a one-sided conversation."

I stood straight and stared straight ahead. I would not respond to her whiteboard, anymore. And nothing she'd say or do would make me break.

Her whiteboard appeared before my eyes as I felt my right breast get poked.

SERIOUSLY, THOUGH. WHAT CUP SIZE ARE YOU?

That's it.


(Amber POV; Six minutes prior)

Well, here I am…again.

Just standing here. By myself.

With no one to talk to.

Note to self: get Colt assigned to me more often.

He's supposed to be guarding me, after all, and I'd have someone to talk to.

H-Him.

I felt my cheeks warm up a bit.

C-Calm down, Amber.

Jeez, even thinking of Colt makes me feel warm inside.

Not that anyone would blame me.

I mean, he's just so-.

Why do I hear blades clashing?

HI!

Did Neo just soar past me? And say "hi" to me while doing so? How did I even manage to read that?

"Hello, Amber. Can't talk. Killing midget."

Winter sped past me now.

"Y-You shouldn't call her a midget!" I called out. "It's a bit insulting!"

"That's exactly the point!"

YOU'RE A MEANIE!

"You're not Violet!"

I DON'T HAVE TO BE TO CALL YOU A MEANIE.

Winter roared in frustration and charged Neo.

…I feel like I should stop this, but I can't risk using my powers. Someone might see.

And I kinda don't want to get in the middle of this. It looks like it's gonna get ugly


(Third POV; Five minutes prior)

Winter stabbed her saber towards Neo, but she nimbly dodged with a smirk. The Specialist sent several more stabs towards the shorter woman, but Neo sidestepped each one.

All with that same smirk on her face.

Winter wanted to wipe it off so bad. With her blade, preferably.

She swung her blade at a more efficient speed.

Neo still dodged, but suddenly found her stamina tested.

She frowned.

This wasn't a regular thug or common criminal. Or even some random grunt from the White Fang.

This was an Atlesian Specialist. A fully trained Huntress.

Neo couldn't keep dodging. Not unless she wanted to tire herself out sooner than she'd like.

When Winter made to strike with her blade, Neo held her parasol with both hands and blocked it. The ice cream woman then quickly let go of the top of her parasol while simultaneously pressing the button on the handle. The parasol opened like a normal umbrella, sending the Specialist and her blade stumbling a few feet.

Winter quickly recovered and leaped towards Neo. She struck at the criminal.

She shattered like glass.

"What?"

Winter quickly searched around and pulled her blade up to block another.

Neo smirked.

Winter glared.

What followed was a flurry of strikes that required the trained eye of a Huntsman/Huntress to keep track of the movements. Blades clashed, Auras were chipped, and a sound or two of glass breaking was heard that indicated the use of the shorter one's Semblance.

Winter and Neo reappeared near the fountain. Neo jumped to the top of it to gain the high ground.

This didn't stop Winter from going after her. The Specialist used a glyph to jump at a fast speed towards Neo. Shocked, Neo quickly opened her parasol to shield herself, but the speed Winter was going knocked her clear off the fountain.

She flipped in the air a couple of times before managing to land on her feet. No sooner had she looked up that she caught Winter soaring towards her from above. Neo performed several backflips.

A crater formed where she once was.

Neo blew a strand of hair from her face.

Winter Schnee was definitely no pushover.

The Specialist stood up from the crater she created. She clicked something on her blade, and a smaller blade launched out into her other hand.

Neo huffed. Perfect.

Winter sped towards Neo, the shorter woman quickly leaping into the air over the Specialist's head. While doing so, Neo swung her parasol down to give a light smack on Winter's head.

Winter halted some feet away as Neo landed on the ground. The Specialist turned her head to glare as Neo spun her parasol about in one hand, and her blade at the ready in another.

Meanwhile, Amber was still spectating from a safe distance, though she couldn't help but wonder how long this spot would be safe before the fight was brought to her….

She should probably report this.


(My POV; Present)

"They've been at it for five minutes now. It's not long, but the fight's getting intense."

Yeah, I can see that.

I sighed. "Couldn't you have called someone else? What about Qrow?"

"I'm pretty sure he'll just escalate the fight rather than end it."

…Fair point.

"What about Vert?"

"Are you nuts? That's overkill!"

…Again, fair point.

And I'm certainly not gonna suggest Violet. She's not going anywhere near those two at this point in time.

"What about Ozpin or Glynda?"

"Glynda's teaching a class right now, and Ozpin responded with, 'It's an internal affair for the detail. Therefore, they must solve it themselves.'"

Goddamn it, Ozpin.

"And you're not doing anything, why again?"

"I can't risk using my powers. Some random student could be watching."

I'm pretty sure if that were the case, a crowd would've formed by now.

Still, guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Don't you have a staff? Just use that."

"…I still don't want to get in the middle of it. Those two are really going at it."

"You're the Fall Maiden! You're supposed to get involved in stuff like this!"

"Colt, even women know not to get in between two other angry women."

"And why would it be a good idea if I were to get involved with two angry women?"

"I get the feeling you're the only one who can calm them down."

…Goddamn it.

I sighed. "Fine, I'll…be there in a moment. Can you at least make sure they keep it in the courtyard?"

"I'll try."

"Right. On my way, then."

I hung up and groaned.

All this bullshit and it's not even lunchtime, yet.

I got up, stepped out of the room, and locked the door.

This wasn't gonna be fun.


(Third POV)

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PRETTY AGGRESSIVE RIGHT NOW.

Neo parried several strikes that could be mistaken for fatal blows.

Not that they were. Despite easily losing her temper, Winter wasn't about to kill Neo.

Scarring or maiming her isn't out of the question, however.

I MEAN, SURE I GROPED YOU AND POKED YOU AFTER, BUT THAT CAN BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG, REALLY.

Neo dodged another stab and swung her parasol at Winter's head, smacking her with it. Undeterred, the Specialist spun around in order to smack Neo with the hilt of her weapon.

It connected.

Stumbling a bit, Neo ducked a side swing and backflipped, kicking Winter's head upward. Neo then moved forward with her blade at the ready, but Winter kicked her foot outward, sending Neo backwards.

Rolling to a stand, she parried a swing from Winter's blade.

THIS IS ABOUT COLT, ISN'T IT?

Growling, Winter pushed forward and sent Neo backwards, a glyph having formed behind the shorter woman beforehand. Neo was sent flying several feet, crashing into a foundation.

Shaking her head, Neo noticed Winter charging after her. She quickly dodged to the right, Winter's blade impaling the foundation.

And keeping it stuck there for a bit.

This allowed Neo to send several rather sharp kicks at Winter's legs, abdomen, chest, and even one to the head. When she was about to land another, a glyph formed, blocking the kick and even repelling Neo several feet once again. Winter dislodged her blade from the foundation.

I BET IT REALLY GRINDS YOUR GEARS KNOWING THAT I'M SHARING A ROOM WITH COLT. I MEAN, WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF "INAPPROPRIATE" ACTIVITIES WE COULD BE DOING TOGETHER. LIKE ANOTHER LAP DANCE!

Winter said nothing as she spun her saber around a bit before stabbing it to the ground. A glyph formed beneath her. Several small white-blue Nevermores formed and charged towards Neo.

Silently cursing, Neo opened her parasol for a shield. She felt several of those Aura constructs smack against her parasol, while others circled around her. She swung her blade at those that tried to get to her.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NORMAL TO FEEL THREATENED BY OTHER WOMEN WHEN IT COMES TO A MAN OF INTEREST.

The constructs kept up their assault.

AND I CAN UNDERSTAND IF YOU FEEL THREATENED BY ME. AMBER PROBABLY DOES, TOO.

"L-Leave me out of this!"

Heh.

I MEAN, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, COLT NEEDS A WOMAN WHO CAN SHOW HIM A WILD TIME.

Neo paced backwards a bit as the constructs kept coming.

YOU'RE A LITTLE TOO COLD AND PROFESSIONAL. NOT TO MENTION A MILITARY PERSON. DOESN'T REALLY SOUND LIKE SOMEONE COLT WOULD BE WITH.

The constructs increased in number.

AMBER'S NICE AND ALL, FROM THE LITTLE I KNOW OF HER, BUT SHE DOESN'T HAVE THAT WILDNESS THAT COLT NEEDS.

"I-I can be wild!" Amber protested.

OH? WELL THEN JOIN THE FIGHT! WE CAN MAKE IT A THREEWAY!

Amber and Winter suddenly turned red.

Neo silently giggled.

FIGHT. THREEWAY FIGHT. A TRIPLE THREAT! JEEZ, GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER!

Amber and Winter glared, and the constructs suddenly increased even more.

Neo was having a hard time striking and defending.

THEN AGAIN, COLT WOULD PROBABLY ENJOY WATCHING US IN A THREEWAY. MAYBE EVEN TAKING PART IN IT!

Neo tilted her head.

TELL ME, HOW DO YOU TWO FEEL ABOUT FOURSOMES?

Winter roared in rage and embarrassment, the number of avian constructs suddenly tripling. No, quadrupling. Quintupling?

Whatever the case, there were now so many avian constructs that they swarmed Neo and lifted her off the ground.

W-WHOA!

The constructs soared through the air, crashing Neo into and through the fountain.

Neo had to admit. That hurt.

It wasn't over, however, as the constructs carried Neo past Amber and crashed through a pillar before crashing her through the wall of a piece of architecture.

Amber winced. That had to hurt.

The constructs disappeared, and Winter let out a huff.

That took care of that….

Rubble moving caught Winter's attention.

Neo stepped out of the hole, a rather livid expression on her face. She spit on the ground and glared.

WAS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT?

Winter set her mouth in a thin line as a glyph formed behind her.

Neo grinned a bit. A grin that bordered on sadistic. She marched towards the Specialist as the Schnee got in a stance, ready to speed forward.

Seeing that this wasn't about to end anytime soon and that Colt wasn't here yet, Amber decided to finally get involved. She drew her staff and prepared to leap in.

Unfortunately, Winter had already sped forward, with Winter doing the same.

Cursing, Amber made to leap as well-.

"Ack!"

Only for something to grab her by the back of her collar and pull her back.

She fell on her behind and looked ahead to find Winter and Neo nearing each other, their blades ready to stab and strike respectively.

CLANK-CLANK!

Only for them to hit some form of obstacle that they couldn't see.

Winter and Neo blinked in shock. What just stopped them?

Their answer was revealed….

"Colt?"


(My POV; moments prior)

Why this can't be a normal first day is beyond me.

Then again, "normal" doesn't really apply anymore since we have a child hall monitor with a baton and Taser who puts bad students in a jail cell that's basically an oversized cardboard box.

I stepped out into the Courtyard and…damn.

They really messed it up. I don't think it's as bad as Qrow vs. Winter, though I see a crater still formed. There's a hole in the foundation, the fountain's broken, and-.

Oh, there's Winter, Amber, and Neo.

Two look like they're about to go at it…again.

I sighed. Why can't I catch a break?

I activated my Semblance, disappearing from the world.

I casually strolled towards the three. As I neared them, I slowed my pace so as not to alert them to my presence.

I noticed Winter get into that stance she does with the glyph behind her. Neo herself was ready to go another round. And Amber looked like she was finally gonna get involved.

Time to hurry.

I sped forward.

As Amber was about to leap, I grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her back, then leaped forward towards the area where Winter and Neo would meet.

Let's see, Winter's going for a stab, while Neo's going for a swish.

I expanded my riot shield and pulled out Lucky, transforming it into its Gladius form.

I landed in between the two charging women and held my riot shield towards Winter and the Gladius towards Neo.

CLANK-CLANK!

I winced and grit my teeth.

Let it be known these two are strong.

I noticed Winter and Neo blink in shock.

Time to reveal myself.

I deactivated my Semblance, reappearing before the world.

"Colt?" Winter and Amber asked.

COLT?

And that's Neo.

I grunted. "Think you two can ease up a bit?"

Winter and Neo quickly stepped back, lowering their weapons.

I sighed and collapsed my riot shield and transformed Lucky, holstering it.

"Care to explain why you two were fighting?"

Winter spoke quickly. "S-She started the altercation!"

THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT TRUE. SHE ATTACKED FIRST.

…Well, this seems familiar.

"Is that right?" I asked Winter.

Winter sputtered. "But…she…I-."

"Let me guess: she goaded you into a fight?"

"She groped me!"

Hot.

I shook my head of the perverted thought and turned to Neo.

"Is that right?"

WHAT? I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THEY WERE REAL.

Yeah, no…they're real. I know firsthand.

Well, firstface, but-.

Off topic, Colt. Completely off topic. And stand down, soldier!

BESIDES, WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO KNOW?

Again, I already know, but I can't let them know that.

"…I refuse to answer that on the grounds that I don't want to."

THAT WASN'T A NO~.

"Wasn't a yes, either."

Didn't stop Winter's (and Amber's, oddly enough) stare from boring into me, though.

I sighed. "Look, Neo. You need to not annoy people like this, alright?"

WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT?

Oh for the love of-.

"Seriously. Don't start shit that leads to collateral damage to the academy. Otherwise, you might end up on a shorter leash than you already are."

She just stared at me.

She silently huffed.

FINE. PARTY POOPER.

Well, that's one down.

I turned to Winter. "And now you."

She gawked at me. "Me?!"

"Yes, you. You've got a temper."

"She groped me!"

Ho- damn it, Colt.

"I understand that. However, I think you could've responded in a way that didn't involve fighting."

I crossed my arms. "Then again, you have a bit of a temper problem."

"I-I do not!"

"Yes. You do."

"Give me one reason why you'd think-!"

"Qrow."

"…Give me two."

"Don't need to. He goads you into a fight in the show."

SHOW?

…Oh right. Don't think we bothered to tell Neo.

I turned to her. "Long story short: I used to live on a planet called Earth, where all of this was nothing but an internet show. I died, met a deity, and was reincarnated here."

Actually, I'm not even sure it was reincarnation, regardless if it was the Wheel of Reincarnation. Otherwise, I'd be a newborn.

Neo stared blankly, then turned to the other two.

IS HE SERIOUS?

Amber and Winter nodded.

MIND. BLOWN.

Heh.

I turned back to Winter. "Anyway, you get too easily riled up, which is odd since I'd think military life should give you some form of patience."

"…Qrow's an ass."

No argument, here.

"Regardless," I continued. "It's pretty obvious that Neo shouldn't be left with you anymore."

"And what makes you say that?" she challenged.

I deadpanned, then gestured to the courtyard turned battlefield.

"…It was like this when we got here?"

"Amber?"

"It wasn't."

"Traitor."

I chuckled. "So yeah, Neo's not partnering with you. Like…ever."

Winter crossed her arms and pouted…who knew she could do that?

SO WHO AM I GOING WITH, THEN?

Good question….

"Well," I said. "I suppose you can come with me. You're already my 'ward', anyway."

I mean, really. Neo should've been paired with me from the start.

Winter and Amber bristled.

I'M OKAY WITH THAT!

She sent a smug smirk to Amber and Winter, both of whom glared at her.

I feel like there's something more to that, but I don't think I wanna know.

Winter spoke up. "I am the head of security. And as such, I will be the one to decide where Neopolitan is assigned."

Our scrolls suddenly beeped.

We opened them.

Ozpin: This is the Headmaster. Due to the recent bout in the courtyard, I hereby state that Miss Neopolitan will no longer be partnered with Miss Schnee ever again. Effective immediately. Any objections?

Several responses were sent out.

Qrow: I don't really care. Also, me and Ice Queen would've caused more damage than her and the short one…I'm saying I'm better than the midget.

Neo glowered.

Vert: Damn brats, wrecking the courtyard like that.

Pff.

Neo: Aw~, but it was so much fun!

We turned to Neo, who shrugged shamelessly.

Winter: I-I am perfectly capable of dealing with her!

I deadpanned at Winter, who whistled innocently.

Amber: No objection, here.

Winter glowered at Amber.

I typed in my own response.

Colt: It's probably for the best.

Winter's stare bored into me

Violet: Shame on you Snow Lady and Ice Cream Lady! Destroying stuff like that. How dare you?! I better not catch you two doing this to my halls!

And now Winter and Neo were depressed after being shamed by my daughter through text, which made Amber and I chuckle a bit.

Ozpin: Motion carried. For the rest of today, Mr. Remington will "chaperone" Miss Neopolitan until a decision is made the next day. That will be all.

Winter and Amber bristled.

Neo pointed at them with a grin.

HAH! VICTORY IS MINE!

They glared at her again.

Yeah, I should probably take Neo away now before things escalate again.

"Okay, motion carried and all that bullshit. Let's go, Neo."

I quickly grabbed Neo's arm and dragged her away. I noticed her waving tauntingly at Winter and Amber and quickly picked up the pace.

Neo will be the death of me.


(Winter POV)

I grit my teeth.

The nerve of that little minx!

"You kinda brought it upon yourself."

I glared at Amber. "…Shut up."

"Great comeback, Winter. Really felt that one get to me."

I crossed my arms and glared in another direction.

"Even I'm curious, though. Are those real? And what size are they?"

"DON'T YOU START AS WELL!"


(My POV)

I unlocked the door to the security room and gestured inside.

"Ladies first."

Neo smirked.

SUCH A GENTLEMAN.

She sauntered inside, her hips swaying.

Stand down, soldier.

I stepped in after her and locked the door.

I noticed she was staring at my chair.

THERE'S ONLY ONE CHAIR.

Huh…that's true….

Fuck.

I sighed. "Well, since I'm apparently a gentleman, I guess you can take that while I sit on the floor. Or I'll just stand, I guess."

Neo smirked at me.

I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.

She pointed at the chair.

SIT.

"Um, why-?"

NOW.

I did as I was told….

I should probably stop doing that. Otherwise, people might think I'm the submissive type. Not that I'd mind, but still.

"So, what-?"

I was silenced when Neo decided to sit down on my lap.

AH~, THERE WE GO.

…Merf.

She leaned back against me, making herself comfortable.

Her hair smelled nice...

She then thought it would be a good idea to wriggle her butt around. Not that I didn't enjoy it, but something I didn't want to happen would happen. So-.

Too late.

I felt a certain stick poke a certain bum. Thank god for clothes...or not. I don't know how I feel about this.

Neo turned her head to give me a half-lidded stare.

FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS ENJOYING THEMSELVES

"...You should really have a problem with this."

NORMALLY, I WOULD. BUT IT'S YOU, SO I'LL LET IT SLIDE.

...G-Good to know.

AND IF YOU EVER NEED A FORM OF STRESS RELIEF-.

Her face took on a suggestive look.

I'M JUST A BED AWAY.

She winked at me.

"..." I gulped. "D-Duly noted."

Satisfied, she turned back and leaned against me, wriggling her butt again.

I really should say something about this...but I think I'll just enjoy the moment.

SO, TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS "SHOW". AM I IN IT?

I actually smiled a bit.

She was gonna have a field day with this.


(Ozpin POV)

"For the last time, Miss Schnee, I will not make different rooming arrangements for Miss Neopolitan. She will remain in Mr. Remington's room."

"B-But Headmaster! I-It is only right! Amber agrees with me, right?"

"I do, but did you really have to drag me here?"

"Two voices are better than one."

"…Fair enough."

I sighed. "Look you two, I can understand if you have issues with this, but Mr. Remington can take care of himself should Neopolitan go against us."

I smirked. "Then again, I imagine that's not what you're worried about."

They both turned slightly pink.

"That being said, my decision is final. Good day to you, two."

"B-But-," they tried again.

"Good. Day."

They both froze at my tone…then sighed and turned back towards the elevator.

I sipped my sixteenth cup of coffee.

I truly pity Mr. Remington. He doesn't even realize he has three women after him, not counting Miss Adel (though I feel Mr. Remington's principles will make that ship sink) and possibly young Violet's older sister, Velvet (still a rather gray and confusing area).

Well…he might realize Neopolitan is after him. She seems like the type to be most forward with men, and I doubt even Mr. Remington is that dense in terms of forwardness.

I sipped my twentieth cup of coffee….

Don't question how I drank that much so quickly, the lot of you. I am a man of mystery, after all.


(Weiss POV; Sunset)

My arms were crossed as I sternly glared at my team leader, who was poking her index fingers together nervously.

"You draw an immature picture of our professor-."

Ruby winced.

"-balance some books, a pencil, and an apple on your finger during class while making a stupid silly face-."

She winced again.

"-somehow fall asleep right after-."

Another wince.

"-and for the coup de grâce, you pick at your nose without even hiding it!"

Ruby looked down.

"And I would say something about you shouting during my fight with the Grimm-."

Her lips quivered.

"I know you were only trying to help."

Just like she chose to help me by taking a second pair of notes for me.

She stopped and looked up at me.

"That being said, perhaps you could try to help in a way that isn't so distracting?"

Ruby scratched her head. "I mean, unless you wanted me to jump in and get invo-."

"Never mind."

I sighed. "Regardless, you still showed misconduct that is unfitting for the leader of this team. Or any team, in general."

Ruby pouted. "I'm doing my best, okay? I-I've never lead anyone before."

"That's understandable."

I paced a bit. "Not only that, but I imagine there's a lot you probably haven't been able to learn due to being let in two years early."

Ruby squinted a bit. "…That's a fair point."

"Luckily for you, I happen to be your partner."

She blinked. "Huh?"

I smiled. "I intend to help you catch up on the major items of inquiry that you will need to know. I'll be the best partner you need."

"R-Really?"

"Of course."

"What about BFF's?"

"Let's not get being ahead of ourselves."

She slumped.

I giggled a bit. "Now, come on. They should be serving dinner by now."

Ruby spread her arms. "Can I get at least get a hug?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"Fine. One hu- OOF!"

Ruby clamped onto me.

I pat her back hesitantly….

"Okay, that's enough. No more hugging."

She didn't get off.

"Ruby. Off. Now."

"You will be my BFF before long."

"Don't count on it."

Seeing as she wasn't about to let go, I sighed and simply walked towards the cafeteria.

This will certainly be an interesting partnership.


(My POV; Security Room)

I stared at the security feed….

That wasn't how it was supposed to go.

Then again, I suppose I should've expected some different outcomes to occur thanks to my meddling.

WHY WERE YOU WATCHING THOSE TWO?

"Well, I just wanted to make sure those two would be alright."

And they would be. Just not in the way it was in the show.

I checked my scroll. It was about time to leave the room.

I looked at Neo. "Time to go."

She pouted.

"Don't give me that. I'm not your personal seat."

I BET YOU WANT TO BE. AND I DON'T MEAN IN THIS WAY.

No, Colt. Get those fantasies out of your head, right now.

With a sigh, I lifted Neo off my lap, much to her disappointment. And my relief as well. She kept wriggling her butt from time to time, making it very difficult to resist natural instinct. And by natural instinct...well, what is a man to do when a woman propositions him like this?

We stepped out of the security room, and I locked it behind us.

WELL, IT WASN'T AS BORING AS I THOUGH IT WOULD BE.

Yeah, well watching security cameras all day can be rather dull.

I now know how other security guards feel.

STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR'S A WHOLE FANDOM OUT THERE SOMEWHERE THAT WORSHIPS ME.

"Neo, that isn't exactly what I sa-."

WELL, IT'S HOW I'M TAKING IT.

Neopolitan has an ego. That figures.

"Well, just so you know," I said. "If you were to try telling anyone else outside of the detail and Ozpin's group, they wouldn't believe you. I got lucky that they believed me instead of locking me in a mental asylum."

YEAH, YEAH. YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME SAYING ANYTHING TO ANYONE.

She looked up in though.

EXCEPT ROMAN, MAYBE. I'LL HAVE TO THINK ON THAT.

Fair enough. They are partners, after all.

I sighed. "Well, I'm gonna walk for a bit. I'll see you back in the room."

She winked at me.

DON'T TAKE TOO LONG.

She strutted away, and my eyes were drawn to her swaying hips again...

What a woman.

Shaking my head of those thoughts, I moved in the opposite direction.


(Neo POV)

So…Colt's technically from another planet….

That's a thing, apparently.

And I also have many adoring fans. How sweet! Almost wish I could give out some autographs.

Not sure how I feel about that "shipping" nonsense, though. Sure, Roman and I are partners, and we help each other. But lovers? That's a bit much. We're strictly professional.

Though apparently I'm shipped with a few students here at this school, too. Mostly with that blonde brawler girl.

That's weird.

As I got closer to the room, I noticed a certain Ice Queen waiting.

I stopped some feet away.

YOU HEAR FOR ROUND TWO?

Winter just stared at me….

She sighed. "I wish to apologize."

…What?

"I realize that I acted irrationally and should've responded more accordingly."

NOT SURE HOW YOU CAN ACT IRRATIONALLY TO SOMEONE WHO GROPED YOU.

"Well, yes, but still. I am a professional. And professionals act accordingly."

I'M A PROFESSIONAL TOO, SCHNEE. AND YOU DON'T SEE ME ACTING ACCORDINGLY TO ANYTHING.

Winter scoffed. "Clearly."

Bitch.

She sighed. "Regardless, we will still be working together for some time. And there mustn't be any tension between us."

WHAT ABOUT THAT QROW GUY? COLT SAID YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIM.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves."

Heh.

Winter stepped forward and held out her hand.

"So let us, as they say, 'bury the hatchet'."

I stared at the hand….

OKAY, BUT WE NEED SOMETHING BETTER THAN A HANDSHAKE.

Winter raised an eyebrow. "I beg your pardon?"

I smirked.


(Winter POV)

I don't like that smirk she's wearing.

I swear to God if she tries something-.

HUG!

Wait, what?

Before I could do anything, Neo leaped at me and wrapped her arms around me, hugging me….

And burying her face into my chest.

My eye twitched.

THESE REALLY ARE NICE. I COULD FALL ASLEEP HERE!

Must. Not. Kill. Must. Not. Kill.

ZZZZZZ.

I deadpanned and looked down. "You really expect me to belie-?"

Oh my god, she actually fell asleep.

I pulled her off me and smacked her head.

OW!

She glared at me.

WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!

"Me? You're the one who fell asleep!"

Neo blinked.

HUH…HOW ABOUT THAT?

Never mind. She's dead.

She opened the door to her and Colt's room.

WELL, SEE YOU TOMORROW, BOSS!

She winked at me, then closed the door.

I hate her. I hate her so much.

I turned and left.

I need to lie down.


(My POV)

After getting some fresh air, I returned to my room.

HEY, COLT.

I raised an eyebrow.

WHAT?

"…You're in pink pajamas."

She shrugged.

I STILL SLEEP IN THE NUDE. I JUST WON'T BE NUDE THAT OFTEN.

That's…actually a relief. And a disappointment at the same time.

Goddamn it, brain.

BY THE WAY, THERE'S A PACKAGE ON YOUR BED.

Huh?

I turned to my bed to find a small box. I picked it up and opened it.

Inside was a small data drive and a note.

I picked up the note and read it.

So that you never forget.

-B

I blinked.

Who the hell is "B"?

I took the data drive and inserted it into my scroll. Some files were being downloaded.

5 percent.

25 percent.

38 percent.

49 percent.

62 percent.

80 percent.

100 percent complete.

Several files were shown. One said "memories".

Curious, I selected it and viewed what was in it….

My eyes began to tear up.

SO, WHAT IS IT?

I stumbled a bit at Neo's whiteboard suddenly popping up.

"U-Um, it's…n-nothing, really. I gotta go."

I quickly left the room, much to Neo's confusion.

I passed Winter and Amber's room as it was opening, revealing Violet.

"Hi Daddy!"

"Hey, sweetie. Can't talk right now. Be back in a bit. Kaythanksbye."

I moved faster, much to my daughter's confusion.


(Later)

I now sat on the roof of the building. The stars shone brightly, and the broken moon was as ominous as ever.

Not that I paid attention, since I was currently fixated on my scroll.

Specifically, the photos of people I would never see again.

I stared first at a photo of myself (the old me) sitting on a bed, watching as my older brother had jumped on top of my younger brother. The picture had been taken at the perfect moment, my older brother frozen in midair while my younger brother was grinning, probably knowing what was coming.

I chuckled.

That was funny.

I swiped to the next photo. This one showed me, my brothers, and my dad standing in front of a car. I was wearing a John Cena shirt. Hustle, Loyalty, Respect. Still don't know why some people hate on John Cena.

I swiped to the next photo. This one showed me with my mom and younger brother. We were visiting some relatives from her side of the family.

I swiped to the next photo. This one showed my younger brother hanging out with some friends in his church group.

Glad he's doing alright. If I remember correctly, he wanted to be a teacher. Hope he gets it done.

I swiped to the next photo. This one actually made me tear up even more.

It was three little kids: one seven, the other five, the last not even two. The two older ones had glasses.

My nephews.

I see they're doing alright. The baby of the three looks even more adorable than ever.

I smiled sadly.

I'll never see any of them again…but I'll have these to remember them by. Just in case keeping them in my heart isn't enough.

I exited out of the file and moved to one that said "Music".

…No way.

I quickly entered it and read through the song names.

I hesitantly selected one of them.

Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga
Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga
Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga
Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga

A grin slowly made its way onto my face.

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me

Oh god, this song is awesome.

When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's all right

"Aaaaa-a-aaaa-a-aaaaaah!"

Hooked on a feeling!

I leaned back on the ground as the song continued playing.

I thought back to the initial.

B.

B.

B.

Buddha?

Yeah, this was definitely from him. Who else could've done this?

"Hey, Buddha? If you can hear me…thanks."

The breeze blew gently against me. As though in response.

"Just so you know, though, I'm not converting to Buddhism."

I swore I heard a faint chuckle.

With a smile, I let the song continue to play.

Suddenly, things looked a lot brighter.


(Reptile POV)

Neo: So yeah, that's all I have to report.

Cinder: Very well. The Fall Maiden is still there, correct?

Neo: Yeah, don't worry. Since Colt's guarding her, I'll know if anything comes up.

Cinder: Good. I will be gone for a while to deal with matters outside of Vale. Mercury and Emerald will supervise operations while I am gone. However, you will keep me directly informed of any new developments regarding the Fall Maiden. Is that clear?

Neo: Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.

...

Neo: So yeah, that's all I have to report.

Roman: Are you sure you can trust this man?

Neo: I can trust that he's willing to stop Cinder and this Salem person she works for.

Roman: I know she knew some powerful people, but this Salem is a new one. Not sure if I believe the whole "Queen of the Grimm" bit, but even your roommate is assuming."

Neo: What about Amber?

Roman: Ah, yes. The so called "Fall Maiden'. Magic's also a bit much, but considering that footage of her flying and blasting out wind and lightning…honestly, I'll believe anything at this point.

Neo: Teehee.

Roman: What? Something else unbelievable you wish to share with me?

Neo: Not now. Colt can tell you himself, if you want to meet him that is.

Roman: Not yet. When the time is right, bring him to me. I'd certainly like to meet the guy that fucked up Cinder. Though the way she is now, that probably wasn't a smart idea.

Neo: Definitely.

Roman: Well, just keep doing what Cinder asks of you. Last thing we need is for her to hear that we're slacking while she's gone. And if she asks you to actually kill Colt…stall for as long as you can. Maybe the kid's our ticket out of this mess.

Neo: And if he isn't?

Roman: Then it's back to seeing this all the way through.

Neo: …

Roman: Until then, have fun.

Neo: I always do. ;)

The messages ended.

I smirked.

Bugging their scrolls turned out to be rather fruitful, and will no doubt continue to be so.

So…Neo and Roman are hoping Colt is their way out.

How foolish.

And thanks to the information this "Salem" gave me, I now know of this "Maiden" power. Why it's needed is still a mystery. Perhaps she will inform me in the future. Her Seer Grimm is still here, after all. Hidden away, of course. Can't have it killed by the grunts.

Still, with everything I know now and with what I've learned through bugging their scrolls….

Colt Remington is not the only one to blame for my brother's death.

Cinder is using the White Fang for her own personal agenda.

She's using Adam.

She used my brother to try and erase a problem of hers.

And no doubt, she is now using me in his place.

My eyes became slits.

That woman and Colt will pay for my brother's death.

As matters go, however, I cannot touch Cinder. Not just because she isn't here, but because this Salem woman needs her. And I feel angering this woman would not bode well for me.

No matter. I can be patient. And Colt must die first. He was the one to kill my brother, after all. He'll be a hard man to get to, though. Having the protection of a Huntsmen Academy will do that. Which means I'll have to be patient until he leaves the damn school.

And if for some damn reason he never leaves, I'll have to do something to draw him out.

…No matter. Patience is a virtue. I shall bide my time for now.

Once the time is right…I shall avenge my brother.


A/N: And so concludes this interlude.

Winter vs. Neo…it happened. Hope you enjoyed that fight.

Before leaving back to his plane of existence, Buddha left me a parting gift. One I will cherish forever.

Neo obviously still has to make reports to Cinder and Roman. Though as you can see, she's more open with Roman than Cinder.

And Reptile…he's being patient, but whether that pays off or not is up in the air. Either way, he's going to be a problem.

Now…it's time for a little surprise for this fic. Sometimes it'll be this. Sometimes it'll be a simple omake.

Enjoy.


The title "My Turn Chibi" appears on screen, along with the main cast. Colt is shown on the left leaning against the title, while his daughter is next to him waving happily. Winter is sitting on the top left side of the title, waving regally. Amber is on the top right side of the title, floating a bit thanks to her Maiden powers. Neo is shown on the right holding up a sign that says "My Turn Chibi", smirking at the audience.

Kids: MY TURN CHIBI!


Skit #1: Boredom

Chibi Colt is sitting in the security room.

"This is fucking boring."

He tried to pass the time by playing with a paddleball.

He then tries doing a magic trick with cards…only to accidently spray them all over the floor.

"Goddamn it."

He once again plays with a paddleball.

He listens to Weiss' new song "This Life Is Mine".

"This song is the shit."

He once again plays with the paddleba-.

SMACK!

"OW! My eye!"

Only for the ball to miss the paddle and hit his eye.

"Fuck! Godda- w-whoa!"

He falls back on his chair.

He's then shown with an eyepatch, sitting in the chair in front of the security feeds.

"This sucks."


(Transition: Chibi Amber flies and shoots lightning from the sky, then giggles and flies away.)


Skit #2: Amber's Garden.

Chibi Amber was humming a tune as she planted her newly bought flowers.

"Perfect!" she cheered.

She picks up the watering pail and prepares to pour….

Then stops.

"Actually, these deserve rain water."

Chibi Amber looks around to make sure the coast is clear, then uses her Maiden powers to summon a small rain cloud. It begins to rain on the flowers.

She beams. "There we go!"

"Ahem."

Chibi Amber freezes, then slowly turns to find Chibi Ozpin.

He shakes his head in disappointment. "The Maiden powers are not something to be used for menial tasks, Amber."

She slumps. "I know."

"This is a great power you have. And with great power comes great responsibility."

She blinked. "Where'd you hear that?"

"Uncle Ben from Spider-Man."

"Huh?"

"Never you mind. The point is, don't misuse your powers."

Amber sighed. "Okay."

"…However, if you could put some of your magic in this coffee."

"Wait, what?"

"Trust me."

She stared at him weirdly…then put some essence of her magic into his coffee.

He drank it…and is now enlightened.

"Yes! I have finally gotten the special coffee-chan that the stupid me drinks in Professor Arc! Now I am 100 percent better than that Ozpin! And again, more competent."

Chibi Amber just stared.

Ozpin cleared his throat. "Ahem…don't misuse your powers again."

He turned and walked away.

Chibi Amber frowned.

"Don't misuse your powers," she mimicked. "Oh, look at me. I'm Ozpin. I drink more cups of coffee in one day than a person does in their lifetime."

He was suddenly behind her. "I heard that."

"AAHHHHH!"

She jumped and fell in her garden, crushing the flowers and getting rained on by her own rain cloud.

Ozpin sipped his mug. "Karma. And I don't mean the Assassination Classroom character."

He left.

Amber was left to pout and whine.


(Transition: Violet rides along in her trike, siren blaring. She stops waves to the audience, then continues her ride.)


Skit #3: Littering

Chibi Jaune was drinking a "People Like Grapes" soda.

"Ah, that's the good stuff."

He crushes the can and tosses it at the recycling bin….

Only it misses and hits the floor.

A siren blares and a whistle blows.

"W-Whoa, what the-?!"

Chibi Violet, in her little police uniform and big wheel trike, speeds over, stopping before Chibi Jaune. She steps off and stares at the criminal.

"So…you're a litterer."

Chibi Jaune sees the crushed can.

"W-Wait, officer! I can expla-!"

Chibi Violet blows her whistle again.

"No excuses!"

She beats his head with her baton.

"Ow! Police brutality!"

"Not a cop."

She beats his head again.

"O-Okay, I'm sorry! I'll pick it up, see?"

Chibi Jaune picks up the can and throws it in the recycling bin.

…Chibi Violet nods.

"Good!"

She writes something down and hands it to Chibi Jaune.

"D-Detention!"

"Yup! One day."

She gets on her trike. "And be sure to follow hall rules from now on. Otherwise, I'd have to introduce you to Mr. Taser!"

She tested out Mr. Taser to prove her point.

"G-Got it," Chibi Jaune said.

Chibi Violet nodded and raised her fist.

"These halls will always be safe thanks to me! Officer Violet!"

She revs up her trike and speeds off.

Chibi Jaune sighs.

"D-Damn it."

Chibi Violet speeds back.

"SWEAR!"

She holds up the swear jar.

Chibi Jaune sighs and puts a Lien in.

Chibi Violet beamed. "Thank you!"

She speeds away.

Chibi Jaune whimpers. "That was my only Lien."


A/N: And that's it. Hope you all enjoyed that. These will come from time to time, but omakes will still be a thing.

If you liked this and want to be kept up to date, be sure to follow and fav. Leave a review while you're at it! I'd love to hear from you guys.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to eat, then I'm off to see War for the Planet of the Apes.

LATERS!
