Chapter Ten: Food Fight


"Sisters, friends, Weiss," Ruby called out to her team and Phoenix, the latter part earning an indignant "hey" from Weiss. "Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream," Ruby continued, ignoring the Ice Queen's reaction.

"This ought to be good," Yang said as Nora tossed food into her mouth.

"A dream that one day, we would come together and have the most fun anyone has had… ever!" she proclaimed.

"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss asked.

"No, that was me," Phoenix answered, "Although Ruby did ask me to."

"Hey! You said you'd keep it secret!"

"What're you talking about," Blake asked, confused by what Ruby was planning.

"I'm talking about kicking the semester with a bang!" Ruby replied.

"I always kick my semesters off with a YANG! Right guys?" Yang quipped. There was an awkward silence that was only interrupted when Nora hit Yang in the face with an apple. Ruby continued after they had all recovered.

"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks, and with more exchange students coming in and the torment at 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 today."

"I don't know weather to be proud or scared of what you have in store," Weiss replied as Yang threw an apple at Nora.

"You guys go ahead, I think I'm going to sit this one out," Blake said.

"Sit out or not, I think whatever we do we should do it as a-," Weiss tried to say, but was hit in the face with a pie, having been caught in the crossfire of the food war between Yang and Nora.


The situation had quickly devolved into complete chaos. Team JNPR had thrown together a fortress of tables as everyone else in the room (except for RWBY and Phoenix) fled for their lives. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora chanted, standing atop the table fort.

"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful! It will be delicious!" Ruby proclaimed as she crushed a milk box

"I have a plan," Phoenix stated. "Yang, you go up and destroy the base of their fort and causing it to collapse while the rest of us draw their fire. Once they've lost their fort we divide and conquer. Yang you take Nora, Weiss takes Ren, Blake takes Jaune, while Ruby and I take Pyrrha. Sound good?" he looked around, only to see they'd already charged. "Bloody hell! Can you at least give me some warning!" he exclaimed as he charged, picking up two swordfish. He suddenly caught himself as he remembered the only person who knew about his real primary weapons was Blake. He groaned as he tossed the fish upwards, causing one of the pipes to fall on his head. "Damn it! Well, may as well use this," he said as he resumed his charge.

"Pyrrha has polarity and this pipe is metal, so I should avoid her. The next largest threat is Nora so-," Phoenix's train of thought was interrupted as he barely dodged a leek aimed at his face. "Well, I guess I'm fighting Ren." Ren charged at him and picked up a leek. Phoenix blocked his strikes and hit him in the leg, bringing him to his knees. A blow to the head removed him from the fight. This, however, enraged his original target who had just sent Yang through the roof. Nora was also using a pole, though her's had a watermelon on the end. She lunged at him with her "hammer", but he was able to dodge just in time. Even though he did, some of the food that was sent towards him by the shockwave hit his glasses, effectively blinding him. Before he could wipe them, he felt a pull on the staff. He was sent flying into a wall and pinned to it by the pole. "Pyrrha," he thought to himself as he wiped off his glasses. Suddenly, a strong wind and a storm of food and rose petals flew past him, picking up all team JNPR. Just as the fight concluded, Glynda burst in and fixed all the messes they'd made.

"Children, please don't play with your food," she scolded. Before she could give them a lecture Ozpin stepped in and started talking to her. As they were all laughing about what happened, Yang fell through the roof.


"So, what do you guys want to do next?" Ruby asked as they all walked back to their rooms to get a change of clothes.

"If you guys want you can all come to my room tonight. I'll need a couple hours to get the food so you guys can still do other stuff," Phoenix said, earning excited looks from everyone.

"Judging from your faces it's a no," he said grinning.

"No you dunce! We want to come!" Weiss exclaimed, seemingly oblivious to the joke, which they informed her of. "Oh right, I knew that."

"Alright! So… I'm thinking we meet up at my room around 6:00. Sound good to you guys?" He asked.

"Sure," they all responded

"Wonderful, now I'm stuck FLYING to downtown Vale," Phoenix groaned. "We can at least have some fun from this."


I wonder what Phoenix is planning for their night. Again, if you have any ideas let me know. Just know it may take me a bit to fit them into the story. Thanks for reading!
