Chapter 24: Best Day Ever!


A ship flies through the skies over Vale and the camera pans down to the city streets. The owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" is hanging a sign declaring its re-opening. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls, only to be saved by a minty haired and hazel skinned beauty of a girl.

"'Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here." She giggled as she helped him to his feet. "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?" She then produces a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep looks it over.

"Hmm? Mm-hmm." The shopkeeper nodded. After being given directions, she walks away from the shop owner as both wave goodbye and passes a grey-haired punk at a corner.

"I knew you were lost."

"Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up." She huffed, producing a wallet with Lien and waved it in Mercury's face.

"That's not your money."

"But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence."

Mercury thought about it for a moment. "Mmmm… no deal."

"Fine." Emerald then takes the Lien and tosses the wallet, turning to walk away.

"Whatever. You want me."

More of the city is shown, including a café where two extras sit chatting. Mercury and Emerald are walking through the city.

"So, how much farther?"

"A few blocks."

"Ugh... this place is so dull."

The girl shrugged at this. "Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture…"

"And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket."

"That's every city." She deadpanned.

Mercury then acts like a victim, "Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!"

The girl, now called Emerald, glares at him, groaning angrily. She then walks away from him.

"Ugh… you're no fun today." He groaned.

Mercury follows behind Emerald, before coming upon and entering a shop full of books. The shop owner can be heard humming a tune. Mercury stops near the door to look at books while Emerald approaches the counter and rings a service bell. "Be right there!" The owner called out. Emerald looks back at Mercury. The shop owner is seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backward and out toward the counter. "Welcome to "Tukson's Book Trade", home to every book under the sun!" He said as he sets the stacks down. "How may I…" Turning around, he gasps and hesitates upon recognizing the two of them as Mercury was now holding a book. "How may I help you?"

Mercury looked at Tukson, even though he had the book open. "Just browsing." He said before shutting the book.

"Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"?" Emerald asked.

"Yes, we do," Tukson said.

"That's great," Emerald answered excitedly.

"Would you… like a copy?"

"No, just wondering," Emerald said as Mercury closes another book. "Oh, oh! What about "Violet's Garden"? In paperback?"

"He's got it. Hardback too." Mercury said, producing said book.

"Ooh, options are nice."

"Eh, no pictures." Mercury sighed, closing the book. "Hey! Do you have any comics?"

"Near the front."

"Oh, no, wait! What… about… "Third Crusade"?"

Tukson hesitated, visibly unnerved. "Um… I…" He trailed off. Mercury and Emerald were eyeing him carefully. "…don't believe we carry that one."

"Oh." Mercury looked a bit disappointed, slamming another book shut.

"What was this place called again?" Emerald asked Tukson.

"Tukson's Book Trade."

"And you're Tukson?"

"That's right."

"So then I take it that you're the one that came up with the catchphrase?"

"Yes."

"And, what was it again?" Mercury questioned.

"Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun."

"Except the Third Crusade."

"It's just a catchphrase."

"It's false advertising!" Mercury countered.

"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson." Emerald said as Mercury activates a switch near the entrance causing a front window to darken. "I hear that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo." Mercury activates another switch and the window in the front door darkens. "Your brothers in the White Fang won't be happy to hear that." Mercury then activates the third and final switch, darkening the last window as he smiles creepily at Tukson. "And neither are we… You know who we are, don't you?"

"Yes." Tukson frowned.

"And you know why we're here?"

"Yes."

"So… are you going to fight back?"

"Yes!" Tukson shouted as he produced claws from his fingers and leaped atop his counter in a threatening manner. Mercury and Emerald back up slightly and he leaps at Emerald and slashes at her, but she dodges. He looks forward and is surprised at Mercury as he raises one leg for a kick with his shotgun-greaves and a single shot sends blood flying from his shoulder and him into a part of the store causing a few shelves to collapse on him.


LINE BREAK


In the Beacon Academy cafeteria, Team RWBY and JOKR and Koa are sitting together in their Beacon uniforms as Blake looks over some notes. Yang then slides up next to her partner.

"Whatcha doing?" Yang asked.

"Nothing," Blake answered, closing her book. "Just going over notes from last semester."

Yang caught a grape in her mouth. "Lame."

Nora giggled as she continued tossing grapes at Yang with her spoon. Yang catches the fruit with ease, giving Nora the thumbs up. Ruby, then giving an enormous heave, slams a binder onto the table, catching everyone off guard. On the cover of the binder is written "Vytal Festival Activities, Property of Weiss Schnee". This has been hastily crossed out with a red marker pen, and with the same pen, a new title, "Best Day Ever Activities", has been written underneath.

"Uh… Ruby? Are those Weiss's things?" Kurogasa blinked.

Ruby, however, ignored him, clearing her throat, and gesturing to everyone at the table. "Sisters… friends… Weiss."

"Hey!"

"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream."

Yang rolled her eyes with a smile. "This ought to be good." She said, catching another berry in her mouth.

"A dream that one day, the nine of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had… ever!"

"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss asked.

Ruby makes "peace" signs with both hands. "I am not a crook."

"What are you talking about?" Blake asked.

"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby said, pointing her finger at Blake.

"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang!" She smiled before looking left and right at her friends, Koa laughing at her pun. "Eh? Guys? Am I right?" An apple is tossed at Yang and hits her in the face. She glares at Nora.

"Boooooooooooooooo!" Nora called out.

"I'll have to second that." Aaron agreed. "You and comedy were never meant to be."

Yang fake gasped while gripping her chest in faux horror, "Et Tu, Aaron?"

"Look, guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today."

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss deadpanned.

Yang, still glaring, picks up an apple and tosses it across the room. Offscreen, an unfamiliar voice shouts "Hey!" and Nora can be heard giggling.

"I don't know. I think I might sit this one out." Blake said.

"Sit out or not, I think that however, we spend this last day, we should do it as a team!" Weiss suggested. "I for one think that…"

*SPLAT!*

Weiss is interrupted by a pie landing on her face.

Nora is shown to be the one who threw the pie, she sits down and points at Ren who has his head in his palm. Pyrrha's hand is over her mouth and Jaune simply sits staring wide-eyed while covering his ear with his palm.

"Uh-oh…" Orpheus gulped.

"So… you have chosen death…" Kurogasa said darkly, cracking his knuckles.

"Oh, I've always wanted to do this!" Koa said excitedly as she jumped onto the table and took a deep breath.


LINE BREAK


Outside the cafeteria, Sun and one of his other teammates were walking together as Sun relates the events which took place during the events of "Black and White". The teammate in question was a teenage boy with tan skin, dark-blue eyes and messy light-blue hair in the form of an undercut. He wears a white dress shirt and black tie under a red jacket adorned with a wide, upturned, black collar and a silver reticle across the back. He also sports a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides as well as black shoes fastened with straps instead of laces. Notable accessories within his attire include black fingerless gloves and a pair of yellow-tinted goggles typically worn on his forehead.

This was Neptune Vasilias.

"Man, that's harsh." Neptune commented.

"I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome." Sun added.

"Nice!"

"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus. But that's a secret, okay?"

"Got it." Neptune said but Sun leans in close in order to stress the importance of this secret.

"And not a, "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret", I'm talking secret secret."

"Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it. I got it!" Neptune said, placating him.

"You better." Sun said as he pulled back. As they kept walking, there was a commotion as we are now shown the windows into the cafeteria where food splatters into the panes as students run around. At one point, Jaune splattered into the window as well. "I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys."

"None taken."

"They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?"

"Dude." Neptune looked at him as his teeth gleamed a smile.

"Good point."

Sun and Neptune then enter the cafeteria where students are heard screaming.

"Food fight!" One student shouted.

Many students are shown stampeding out the door past Sun and Neptune, the latter of whom is looking quite worried.

"Ahahahaha!" Nora laughed as Team JNPR along with Orion, Koa, and Orpheus are shown to be standing atop a tower of tables stacked in a ramshackle manner while the rest of the cafeteria were in shambles. "I'm queen of the castle~! I'm queen of the castle~!" She sang.

Ruby stomped her foot on a table while pointing at Team JNPR. "Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" Ruby then crushed a carton of milk in her hand. "It will be delicious!"

"YEAH!" Team RWBY raised their fists simultaneously.

"Why did I get roped into this?" Aaron pondered with a dry expression before he glanced at Kurogasa, who was practically fuming like a certain hotheaded guy with an explosive personality that liked to tell people to die. "Oh yeah…"

"Your orders, my queen?" Koa said with a military salute.

"Off with their heads!"

"Why are you on their side!?" Aaron cried out.

"Family comes first, dude." Orion said with a shrug.

"Because it's fun! Fire the vegetables!" Koa shouts, as she and Nora jump down from the top of the tower, and the food fight begins. Ren kicks three watermelons, Jaune threw one as well, Pyrrha threw two more and Nora threw a table of watermelons. Koa smirked as she kicked up multiple kinds of food and sent them flying at the group.

"INCOMING!" Aaron shouted.

"Yang! Turkeys! Blake! French Bread!" Kurogasa ordered.

Yang rolls over to the turkeys and sticks her fists inside them, proceeding to block and punch the melons as they speed toward her. Koa smirked as she picked up an apple and threw it like a baseball at Aaron.

"AAAHHHHHHH!" The crimson-eyed leader screamed with his eyes bulging out of his skull before the apple hit him in the mouth. He took it out with a loud chomp and showed off the impressive bite mark on the fruit. "My turn…" He slammed his fist down on a table that had several plates of food then he proceeded to roundhouse kick the plates, sending them directly at his foe. Koa smirked as she drew a piece of French bread to break the plates as she then launched herself at Aaron.

Meanwhile Yang started punching the incoming watermelons into mush with Blake taking two french breads and helping her break them as well. Yang then threw the two turkeys from her fists and hit Jaune square on the head and chest. Pyrrha then took a spare French bread before dodging Blake's attack and the two were in a deadlock.

"Hyaaaaaaaah!" Kurogasa came flying in, wielding two stalks of leeks to which Pyrrha had no choice but to back off and the close quarter combat with them blocking or parrying before going into a deadlock as well. "Let me through Pyrrha. Nora needs to pay." He gritted.

"Sorry, can't let you through!" The voice of Orion interjected as he came down while wielding a massive turkey leg, slamming it down in front of Kurogasa like it was a giant hammer.

"GAH!" he cried out before staggering himself up. "YOU TRAITOR!"

"Didn't I tell you, idiot? Family comes first and Jaune is part of the group you are currently fighting against so… don't expect me to go easy against you." Orion taunted.

"Kono~!" Kurogasa growled before he started having his fight with Orion. Meanwhile Ruby was surfing on a tray before jumping up and throwing said tray at Pyrrha to which the latter blocked before Ruby picked up another tray and surfed on that. When Ruby got close enough, she bashed her tray against the redhead who tumbled backwards.

Ren and Nora ran towards Ruby and Weiss, but the latter sprayed a wave of ketchup on the floor, causing Ren to slip and onto tables, plates, and silverware that were sent flying. Nora jumped on one of those tables then jumped towards a pole before breaking it. As she fell she stuck a watermelon at one end of the pole, making it a watermelon hammer before bashing Ruby away. Weiss picked a swordfish and sped towards Nora and their CQC began, but it was short as Nora knocked Weiss into a pillar. The impact knocks her out and Ruby holds her in her arms as the pillar collapses around them.

"Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me!" Ruby begged before shouting to the heavens. "Nooo!"

"You're wide open!" Orpheus said with a makeshift bow made out of a broken broom and sausage links. He fires a salami arrow at Ruby and Weiss.

"Not a chance!" Aaron countered as he stepped in front of the girls and caught the salami between his elbow and knee. But when he turned around, Koa planted a pie into his face. "Oh, why you little-!"

"Uh-oh." Koa giggled.

Yang went on the assault picking up the turkeys she used and smacked Orpheus away with them. Ren had two leeks and ran towards Yang. They were then locked in combat before Yang punched Ren in the air. When he was airborne, he threw the two leeks to which Yang dodged as she jumped up and punched Ren back into the ground.

Nora then enters the fray as she and Yang were locked in combat, but then Nora smacks Yang away with the watermelon hammer, sending the buxom blonde in the air and through the roof.

"Welp, she's out for now." Aaron shrugged. "I always wonder how she managed to survive from that height."

"Well, if you watched the stats part of Death Battle when she battled Tifa, you would know." Kurogasa said.

"I did." Aaron deadpanned. The next thing the duo knew, they were hit by exploding soda cans that sent them flying into some tables. "Ow…"

Seeing her teammates and comrades in food warfare down and defeated, Ruby glared at the enemy then took off in a burst of speed.

"Oh, shit… I forgot this part…" Orion paled.

"EEEEEEEEEEEH~?!" Koa screams, her eyes bugging out as she was the first swept up in the tempest as food and cans began to follow along. Ruby then corkscrewed her whole body to which her Semblance did as well and with this, all of Team JNPR, Orion, Orpheus, and Koa were swept up by the spiraling storm. Once Ruby stopped she moved out of the way and the victims caught in the storm splattered onto the cracked wall followed by the crash of soda and food, all plastered. After a moment, all of them slowly slid off the wall, leaving only their outlines.

Sun grinned at sight. "I love these guys."

Neptune however is drenched with soda and is not pleased. The doors behind them open and Glynda enters the room growling. She proceeds to use telekinesis to re-organize the room. All of the food, soda, plates, chairs, and benches all reorganized themselves and cleaned themselves up too. Once that was done, everything was back to normal… except for everyone all caught up in food.

"Children, please." Glynda said as she adjusts her glasses. "Do not play with your food!"

Nora burps aloud as Team JNPR, RWBY, JOKR, plus Koa try and fail to compose themselves. A screaming Yang then crashes from the ceiling into one of the tables, making Glynda grumble.

Ozpin approaches and places a hand on her shoulder. "Let it go."

Glynda sighs in irritation at the absurdity and childishness of these students. "They're supposed to be the defenders of the world."

"And they will be, but right now they're still children." Ozpin said as the teams and Koa are shown laughing together. "So why not let them play the part? After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever."


LINE BREAK


In an old warehouse, the White Fang are moving crates as Emerald and Mercury enter.

"Oh, look! She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce!" Roman says as he approaches the two from behind and wraps his arms around them in a group hug.

Emerald shivered in disgust. "Spare us the thought of you procreating." She said, as both her and Mercury pull away from Roman.

"That was a joke. And this... just might tell me where you two have been all day." Roman says, producing a piece of paper.

"What!? Agh…"

"I'm a professional, sweetheart. Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something." He said, holding up the piece of paper. "Why do you have this address?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Emerald said coyly.

"Yeah, I would. Now where have you been all day?"

"Cleaning up your problems. One of them, at least." Mercury tapped his chest.

"I had that under control."

"Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise."

Roman then pointed his cane at him. "Listen, you little punk. If it were up to me, then I would take you and your little street rat friend here and…"

"Do what, Roman?" A new voice asked. Mercury, Emerald, and Roman looked up to see Cinder appear on a platform above them. She stepped onto the automated lift, riding it down to their level.

Roman laughs nervously. He almost had them. But there's always another day. "I'd, uh… not kill them?"

"Cinder!" Emerald said excitedly, but Cinder did not look pleased.

"I thought I made it clear that you would eliminate the would-be runaway."

"Well, I was going to…" Roman said before Emerald interrupted him.

"He was going to escape to Vacuo! Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat."

"I think he was some sort of cat, actually." Mercury said after much thought.

"What? Like a puma?"

"Yeah, there ya go."

"Quiet." Cinder said, silencing the two. "Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?"

As Cinder speaks, Roman points a finger at the pair while laughing in agreement.

"But I just thought…" Emerald stuttered

Roman uses his fingers to mime having a slit throat.

"Don't think… obey." Cinder sternly said. To which Emerald bowed her head apologetically.

"Yes ma'am. It won't happen again."

Cinder then turned to Roman. "And you. Why wasn't this job done sooner?"

As Roman speaks, he points to his right, then to his left, then behind him. "Uh…? Eh…? Eh…? EHHHHH! Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the Kingdom!"

"You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask." Mercury says, whilst Emerald laughs at the remark.

"Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared! Police camp out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're sitting pretty in an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with! Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand master plan, it might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother! Not to mention those Kamen Riders sticking a wrench in the gears too!" He emphasizes the last sentence by clenching his fist.

Cinder approaches Roman. "Oh, Roman. Have a little faith." She places her hand on his face. "You'll know what you need when you need to know it." Roman seems entranced, but then looks away with a grunt. "Besides, we're done with Dust." She begins to walk away leaving Roman confused.

"O-okay, then what now?"

"We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight."

"Coordinates?"

"We're proceeding to phase two."

Cinder, Mercury and Emerald begin to walk away. Roman attempts to light a cigar, but realizes Emerald has stolen his lighter. She turns back to face him and sticks her tongue out defiantly.

"And here I thought Azrael was mysterious and frightening…" Roman muttered.
