Extra 006: Chaotic Airwaves

"Uhh…" Ragna drowsily groaned to himself as the knocking on his door continued. Said knocking had roused him from a particularly pleasant slumber. In order to try and balance the chaos in his life, Ragna had made a solemn promise to himself that he would never be seen out of bed before noon on a Saturday, making up as much sleep as he'd no doubt lost throughout the week. Hence, despite the pounding his door growing in intensity, he kept his head down where it was comfortable on his nice soft pillow.

"Get up!" came Tsubaki's shouting from the other side of the door followed by more banging. "You've only got 10 minutes before we're supposed to air!"

"Piss off…" he groaned into his pillow, trying to fall back asleep.

"Get out here now or I'm calling Goodwitch!" she threatened. "You're our leader, so you know that we can't do this without you! Either you're up with us now and we all get through this or you'll be mopping until dinner!"

'She's threatening him with mop duty? That's it?' Azrael though on the other side of the door, more than a little doubtful that Ragna would give in so easily. The door then opened, revealing Ragna dressed in the black hakama that he always wore underneath his favored jacket. He had a serious case of bed hair (moreso than usual), his clothes were completely misaligned, and his face made it clear just how drowsy he was. 'And apparently it works…'

"We still have a little time before we need to start," Noel said nervously, still not used to speaking to her team leader. "Maybe you can take a minute to freshen up first?"

"Just sounds like more work, and here it doesn't even matter what I look like," Ragna responded, covering his mouth as he gave a deep yawn. "I say we get this over with quick so I can head back to bed."

"Just make sure this doesn't completely derail; Ozpin sounded like he was really looking forward to trying this out for the academy so it wouldn't reflect well if we couldn't handle something like this," Tsubaki said, trying to keep Ragna in line. "Do you have the lines ready for us?"

"No lines, but I do have a couple of stories for us to talk about in the studio. Just grab the ones you want to do, use my notes for whatever you want, and add your two bits in at the end. If you want to weigh in on someone else's story, go right ahead."

"I'm not sure that's a good idea; being so freeform is just going to make us look unprofessional," Tsubaki tried to reason.

"Unprofessional? You say that like we're getting paid for this," Azrael told them gruffly, before he actually formed a sharp smile. "Besides, you gotta know how to improvise if you're going to be a Huntsman. Might as well show that off now."

"But, I don't have any idea what I should say…" Noel said meekly, easily the one with the biggest stage fright.

"Then just say the first thing that comes into your head; it's what I always do," Ragna advised.

"And that is a serious conversation that we still need to have," Tsubaki scolded, deliver a small chop to the top of the Reaper's head.

"You're just mad that we're missing breakfast today."

Meanwhile -The School Cafeteria-

"Mmmm… Cinnamon…" Ruby sighed, blissfully taking a bite of the steaming hot cinnamon bun in her hands. She and the rest of her team were sitting at one of the cafeteria tables, each of them enjoying their own roll. Though obviously, Ruby seemed to be enjoying hers with the most gusto.

"Sis, slow down! It's getting all over you!" Yang tried to protest as he sister's face became covered in the sticky frosting. Ruby only giggled guiltily, her bubbly attitude always making it hard to stay cross with her for long. "Weiss, you mind helping her out with that?"

"Wh-why on earth do I have to wipe her face? You're her sister!" the Schnee demanded as she blushed from the request.

"And you're her partner; doing something like this should be easy with two people with that kind of a bond," Blake added, deciding she'd weigh in on the teasing for once. She also got what they both wanted as the Schnee heir seriously eyed Ruby, already posing for her partner to clean her face. The ploy didn't come to fruition and Weiss merely covered the smiling face with her napkin and left it there. "Cold hearted as always."

"She has hands; she can use them," Weiss scolded, wishing that Ragna was here to be the usual lightning rod for the teasing. Speaking of lightning though...

"Hmm… Hey Ren? My face feels a little sticky, think you can wipe it off?" Nora tried, using the other team's teasing for her own advances. Though Ren gave his usual sigh at her behavior, it didn't stop him from silently agreeing to her request as he wiped Nora's face with his own napkin. The hyperactive mallet user only looked too pleased.

"...Point Nora," Pyrrha Nikos commented with some surprise. Out of the corner of the eye she noticed that Jaune's face was covered in crumbs. She internally debated giving him a helping hand, but decided against it as she knew this might instead hurt his still developing self confidence.

"Interesting… very interesting," Amane Nishki commented as he watched the two teams from a nearby table, watching their chemistry or lack thereof unfold in real time.

"Get rid of whatever it is you're brewing in that head of yours," Jin told him in usual cold tone as he read while he ate.

"Hey hey, no need to snap Jinny," Kagura teased his own team. "What's wrong? You're that upset that Tsubaki isn't here to-?"

"Another word and you're finishing this weekend's assignments ALONE," the Ice user threatened as he took another bite out of his roll and accidentally smudged a little frosting onto his cheek.

"I can get that for you!" Celica tried to offer, only to have her a hand roughly pushed away by Jin's. "Hey!"

"Don't. Just… keep your hands to yourself," he, most of him annoyed… though others painfully nostalgic.

"Where is our dear Tsubaki anyhow?" Amane decided to question as he glanced around the cafeteria. "In fact I don't think there's a member of Team RAIN here. I know your brother and Noel Vermillion are far from early risers, but Azrael can't get into the training room early enough and Tsubaki's always up by the crack of dawn."

"She mentioned something to me about a special assignment from Ozpin last night," Jin explained, only talking now so he could change the topic. "I'd imagine she's busy now working on whatever it was he asked her for."

"And you didn't bother asking her what it was?" Kagura asked as well.

"She told me he'd wanted to keep it a surprise. But what he'd ask her to be so secretive about is beyond-"

Jin didn't have a chance to finish a sentence as the crackle of static echoed across the cafeteria. Silence fell over the room as the student's waited patiently for the loudspeakers, expecting an emergency notice or an announcement of some kind. There was a bit of shuffling on the other end for a few further seconds.

"Can they hear me?" came Ragna's face from the speakers. "We're good? Right." A small cough as he cleared his throat.

Ragna: "Alright, let's get started. If you're listening to this now I'm Ragna, the leader of Team RAIN and the sucker they slapped this on."

Tsubaki (hissing): "Don't whine, just read your notes. This is Tsubaki Yayoi. We're here with Azrael… Say hello Azrael."

Azrael: "Hmph."

Tsubaki (groaning): "Off to such a great start… Also with us is Noel Vermillion."

Noel: "H-hello everyone… It's nice to be speaking to you all."

Ragna: "Long story short, this is something that Ozpin-"

Tsubaki: "Professor Ozpin."

Ragna: "Whatever you want to call him, he's starting up this weekly announcement every Saturday. He's calling it Student Speaking; put over the airwaves by students, for students… Really, that's the best name and slogan he could come up with?"

Tsubaki (annoyed): "Ragna!"

Azrael: "Big talk, what would you have called this?"

Ragna: "I'd have just kept it basic. Maybe Beacon Academy Radio; Start your Morning with us."

"...Darn it, that is better," Ozpin admitted as he listened to the program from the comfort of his own office.

Tsubaki: "Moving onto the actual news, we have a story about… Ragna!"

Ragna (defensive): "Don't blame me! That's just what's going on!"

Tsubaki: "You couldn't have found a better story? Fine. Apparently there have been a few students running around campus, gathering up information on who would be 'Miss Beacon.' From what we now understand it's a student driven beauty pageant… Ugh."

Noel: "There's a beauty pageant? Why did no one tell me about it? ...Did… did no one want to vote for me?"

Tsubaki (trying to sympathize): "I'm sure that's not the case Noel…"

Azrael: "From what I've heard, apparently they were taking a 'boy's only' vote. Hell, even Ragna and I both ended up submitting votes with how constantly they were hounding us."

Noel: "You both did? If you don't mind my asking; who did you-?"

Ragna and Azrael: "Amane."

"HA HAA~!" the dancer cheered with victory.

Ragna: "Just because we got pressured into voting, didn't mean we were going to give a serious answer."

"...It still counts," Amane countered, acting oddly prideful about the affair.

Tsubaki: "Riiight. Oh, as a small aside we have a note at the end from Professor Goodwitch. She says that while she appreciates the several votes cast towards her, she hopes that said voters can show... additional support in cleaning duty tonight."

Ragna: "Translation: Great going pervs, hope your damn detention was worth it."

Tsubaki (losing her mind): "Ragna!"

"Dammit," Kagura sighed as Jin shot his teammate a look of pure disappointment.

Noel: "So did she win?"

Ragna: "Hell if I know, no one ever announced the results. Let's just drop it and move onto something else."

Noel: "Okay then. I've actually got a community warning handed down to us by the police department. Apparently there have been a number of Dust shop robberies in the area. They're asking any students with possible leads to submit them for aid in the investigation. They also advise that whoever is behind these attacks is likely dangerous and should be left to the authorities… sounds scary."

Azrael (eager): "I hope I run into some of them, I've been dying to sink my teeth into a fresh hunt!"

Tsubaki: "You'd destroy an entire block before you caught them!"

Azrael: "You're selling me short; I'd be more worried about a city at least!"

Tsubaki: "You're just proving my point!"

Noel: "Um, do you think Roman Torchwick could be behind this? I remember seeing him on the news a while ago and his main target seemed to be Dust shops."

Ragna: "Probably, word has it that he's still on the loose so he's probably the main suspect… Guess if he really is behind this, we'll have to hope that someone's in the right place to finally kick his ass to the curb."

Tsubaki: "Watch your language! And the report said to leave this to the authorities!"

Azrael: "And he's been on the loose for months. What does that tell you?"

Tsubaki: "Azrael!"

Ragna: "I think we've already pissed her off enough. Why don't we just move onto Azrael's story?"

Azrael: "Fine fine… Wait, can everyone in the school can hear this?"

Ragna: "That's the whole point of this project. I don't know why you'd question when we've been-"

Azrael: "OUTSTANDING!"

Noel: "Oh… oh no."

Azrael: "LISTEN UP BEACON ACADEMY! I CAME TO THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE I HEARD IT WAS THE BEST! THAT IT TRAINED THE BEST! BUT ALL I'VE SEEN UP TO THIS POINT ARE COWARDS AND WEAKLINGS THAT WON'T EVEN MAKE A SOLID APPETIZER! IF YOU'RE HALF THE HUNTSMEN OR HUNTRESS THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BE, YOU WON'T TURN DOWN MY INVITATION TO-! MMMMMMMMMPH!"

Ragna: "HOLD HIM DOWN AND KEEP HIM QUIET! HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER SPORTS NEWS!"

Azrael (slightly muffled): "THIS IS THE SPORT NEWS! THE ULTIMATE SPORT OF FIGHTING!"

Tsubaki: "CHANGE STORY! CHANGE THE STORY! WE'RE STILL LIVE!"

Noel (terrified): "Um, I-! F-For dinner tonight, we're having-"

Azrael: "BLACK HAAAAAAWK-!"

Ragna: "EVERYBODY GET DOWN!"

"STINGER!"

Later -Ozpin's Office-

The headmaster of Beacon Academy had quite since Ragna and the others had entered his office, uncomfortably quiet. He didn't exactly look mad at them, or even disappointed for that matter… but it was clear he was in no position to shower them in praise. Ragna, Noel, and Tsubaki all had tears in their clothing from Azrael's attack while the Mad Dog himself had an obviously painful welt on his check from a counterattack. He didn't look guilty though… in fact it looked like he was still on his high for asking for his fight.

"So…" Ragna slowly began, hoping to end the awkward and strained silence. "...Can I still have my room?"

"Ragna!" Tsubaki hissed at her partner for the upteenth time.

"Our agreement is still intact, so the room is yours," Ozpin explained, though the rest of his team had little idea what the agreement was about. "That said, I think it's clear to me that the four of you will be put on cleaning duty… along with repairing our studio."

"Why should they have to? I'm the one that did it." Again, Azrael didn't sound the slightest bit sorry yet he still had a bizarre sense of fairness underneath all of that muscle.

"You are, but there's an important lesson to be had here. Your blind misuse of your own power will not only land you in trouble, but will also extend to the rest of your team as well. If you won't keep that battle drive in check for yourself, you'll have to learn how to do so for the rest of the team."

"Sounds to me like you just need more help cleaning," Ragna admitted. Tsubaki was about to scold her leader… but decided that she was just wasting her breath. "So this was a bust then?"

"Not so, I actually found the affair entertaining enough. If the collateral hadn't been so high I might've actually been satisfied with the end result."

'The collateral could've been a lot higher,' Noel thought to herself. She knew that if Ragna hadn't managed to hold the brunt of Azrael's attack, more than just the studio would've been destroyed.

"We'll get started on cleaning duty… and for the record, I warned you something like this would happen,. This isn't all on me," Ragna reminded coldly as he exited the office, followed by Azrael. Tsubaki and Noel both gave apologetic bows before following after the boys.

'I suppose I should hold off on this pet project for a bit, it's a pity though,' Oz thought to himself went through a few of the student files. 'Though… who should I pick to host the next radio session?'

Author's Note IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Okay, so I've got an announcement along with the explanation about the chapter. The main reason why this extra was so short was because… this wasn't the real chapter at all. It's rather a short little bit of filler before I get to the chapter proper.

So the main idea of this was a take on BlazBlue Radio, but it would be hard to do this without having you, yes YOU the fans, contributing to this with some comments. Let me explain.

To explain, the next chapter I put out will basically be a full section based response to the reviews you send me in the next one. Anyone who's read Azure Guilt will remember that I did something similar with this. The difference here is that it's not the same characters that will respond every time. It's not just questions either, if you have a funny skit I can pull off or a simple challenge (like an egg throwing contest).

The character theme for the next chapter will be: TEAM LEADERS.

Meaning the chapter's hosts will be Ragna, Ruby, Jin, and Jaune. Their attitude and mentality will be the same as the

I do have a few conditions for the questions that I'll be answering. If any of the questions ask any of these things I will reserve my right to not answer them for the following reasons.

Shipping questions: This one is pretty simple. It'd ruin the story focus, set up for some spoilers down the road, and make the whole thing a pretty awkward. That doesn't mean you can't ask about two people spending time together (i.e. Ragna and Ruby training, Jaune and Pyrrha dancing. Both are still on the table)

Story spoilers: Same reason as above, these things might not be canon, but it still might give the reader's some whiplash if Ragna talk trash about Cinder here and then we go back to the story proper where she hasn't done anything yet.

Power scaling and Feats: ...Look, I understand that people like Death Battle but I'm not here to compare powers or anything like that. This is just a fun idea that I'd rather not have any debates spawn from.

Other than that, let me know what you want to hear about. If this goes well I might start making this a special event at the start of every year. First one should be up a bit after new years, so look forward to that one. Let's see some review responses now.

BloodedgetheReaper2113: Oof… You'll have to wait and see what will come of this. I'm not really the type to make character bashing stories I'm afraid… unless the character is specifically created to get shit on. (Think Kibaou from my Sword Art Online story)

P3R50N4: Terumi is a popular character, but I need to use him sparingly… at least for now.

Pally111: Life… say no more.

The Unplanner: Making Adam sympathetic is a difficult thing to do, especially on accident. And yeah… last chapter was technically canon.

Trey Alexander: Trust me, I dearly hope to give Adam much more development than what he got in the main series. I'm just not sure what direction I find the most appealing at the moment.

Wlyman2009: DC? ...Did you not like Joker? I mean that's fine and all, but that seemed to come out of nowhere.

Until next time! Ciao and Happy Holidays!
