Who's ready for Volume 7?
Now before I continue I must answer and address a few comments.
First is from CliffySilver66, "I honestly can not see any way in how Caboose and Emerald can be a thing, it just seems infeasible. Also in the end I feel like you need to get Emerald and Mercury to turn if you do wish to keep to the main story line of RWBY"
Honestly, I can feel you. I want Emerald in the original storyline to get her chance with Cinder. And I'm not sure if them turning would be the best, maybe have some internal conflicts or moments of doubt. But after how far they came...eh let's keep this conversation going cause I seriously want to know why and how.
The next and last one is from The Talon, I know that there is more out there but I'm only doing these two. But thanks again, especially you SPARTAN-626. Anyway they said, "1. Good work on this PSA. It seems that you know a lot about writing fanfiction.
2. Thanks for answering my previous question.
3. I'd like to see some backstory for Church. He's always been one of my favorite characters, and I'd like to see how he and Weiss grew apart in this fanfic."
Thanks again man,
1. I know very little compared to some hardcore writers out there.
2. Happy to answer your question and because you're still commenting, there's a surprise for you guys in this chapter.
3. There will be backstory for each character, Example: Tucker's past love life, Simmons's fatherly problems, Grif's protective instincts towards those who are like younger siblings. Donut's... yeah... nuff said. And even Doc's failures. I can make them like full included random chapters or just one shots when you guys demand it. Just let me know when.
Also please tell me you know at least two out of three of the games I based the title on. I would've also made one for Killer Instincts or Skull Girls but I couldn't think of one.
Wow, that's about 400 words right there.
Anyway, time for the story.
[In Vale]
A man with grey natural was walking pretty menacingly throughout town as he had a goal to achieve. He wore a red vest, black loose fitting pants and clean black boots.
He smiled as he passed am old man who had just fallen off a later. He turned to the man, "Excuse me, I'm a little lost. Mind helping a fellow out?" He asked.
After getting directions he heard a voice from his ear piece, "You're not supposed to be out yet. This wasn't ordered." a male voice from his earpiece said.
The man walking down the streer rolled his eyes, "Relax. I know what I'm doing. Besides, I can walk freely. While you are all stuck in that warehouse. Besides, we wait any longer and our target can escape."
"Dammit Marcus, just wait." The man on the other end demanded.
Marcus Black thought really hard about that, "Hmmm, nah." He said as he neared his destination.
[Tukson Bookstore]
Marcus entered the building as he looked around for the man in charge. He passed a few sections of different genres as he glanced at a few different covers. Marcus came to the front desk as he saw the service bell and rang it.
"Be right there." A man from the back. Tukson then came out himself, holding a two large stacks of books, "Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade. Home to every book under the sun." Tukson said as he turned to his customer, "How may -uh-" He paused seeing Marcus's face, "How may I help you?" Tukson asked.
Marcus smiled as he spoke, "I was wondering if you had copies of 'The Thief and The Butcher'?" He asked.
"Yes, we do." Tukson answered, still on edge.
"Great...great." Marcus smiled still.
"Would you like a copy?" Tukson asked.
"Nah, just checking." Marcus answered, "What about 'Violet's Garden', in paperback?"
"Yes, and in hardback as well." Marcus said.
"Comics?" Marcus asked again.
"In the front."
"Wait! I got it. What about 'The Third Crusade'?"
Tukson hesitated but then came out with the truth, "Umm... I... believe I just ran out of copies, just recently." He answered.
Marcus grew a faked confused look, "What was this place called?" He asked.
"Tukson's Book Trade."
"And you're Tukson, right?" Marcus asked.
"Yes, I am."
"And you came up with the catchphrase?" Marcus asked again.
"Yes..."
"What was it again?"
Tukson sighed as his defeat would come soon, "Tukson's Book Trade: home to every book under the sun." Tukson said.
"...Except for 'Third Crusade'?"
"It's just a catchphrase." Tukson said.
"It's false advertising." Marcus responded, "You shouldn't make promises you can't keep." Marcus makes his way to the door as he locks it and shuts the blinds so no one can see him commit his deed, "I hear you're skipping town, all the way to Vacuo in fact, I'm very disappointed. Imagine how the White Fang would feel."
"You know who I, don't you?" Marcus asked.
"Yes." Tukson responded.
"So you know why I'm here?" Marcus asked again.
"Yes." Tukson answered again.
"So... you gonna fight back?" Marcus asked one final time.
"Wait!" Tukson pleaded, "I found a hardcopy of the 'Third Crusade' just now."
"Really?" Marcus asked if this faunus was serious.
"Hey Marcus." A familiar, intelligent voice called out, Marcus turned around to see the face of Reginald Wyoming holding a large book, "Knock, knock?"
A with a mighty swing Wyoming knocked out Marcus and a few of his teeth. Wyoming rubbed his shoulder as it was injured when he put his full strength into that swing. Wyoming then tossed the book to Tukson, "Well, I guess you can say this was the best kind of irony." Wyoming said.
"I think it'd be ironic if the book killed him." Tukson said.
Wyoming nodded in agreement, "But you must change the motto you made." He suggested.
"Not you too." Tukson groaned.
"Seriously, false advertisement is one of the main reasons for business lawsuits. Red Bull, for example, had someone complain about not receiving wings." Wyoming stated.
"Fair enough." Tukson then looked at Marcus, "What should we do now?"
"Leave him be, it'll only slow you down. Flee as swiftly as possible, hope to Gods that you can escape to the bullhead port in record time. I will fake your death." Wyoming said.
"Thanks again." Tukson said as he hugged Wyoming.
"No thank you for allowing me to heal here." Wyoming said as he began going to work and Tukson grabbed the last of his bags.
"This isn't going to end well." Tukson told Wyoming.
Wyoming placed a hand on the larger man's back, "I know, but I can't just sit back and let it happen."
With that they split and would hopefully see each other later.
[At Beacon]
Church was scribbling down different words that seemed to have flowed from his mind and onto paper. And in one corner the image of a young girl, an image he kept fresh in his memory. Or as close as possible, for it was long ago and his senses were not accurate back then.
Caboose leaned over his shoulder, "Whatcha doin?"
"Nothing, just jotting down what comes from my head." Church answered.
"Cool." Caboose said as the group of five teams all were at two separate tables.
Suddenly Ruby approached as she slammed two seseparate binders. One labeled, 'Best Day Ever Activities' after 'Vytal Festival Activities by Weiss Schnee' was scribbled off in red pen. The other labeled 'Swear Jar' for obvious reasons.
Ruby began her speech, "Sisters! Friends! Weiss."
"Hey." Weiss said in annoyance.
"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream." Ruby started.
"Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr." Simmons listed her copy pasted speech.
"A dream that one day, the four of us would come together, as a team and have the most fun anyone has ever had, ever!" Ruby cheered.
"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss asked.
"I am not a crook." Ruby responded.
"And... there's Richard Nixon." Simmons concluded.
"What are you taking about?" Blake asked.
"I'm talking about kicking off this semester with a bang!" Ruby said.
"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang." Yang said as she looked for support, "Eh? Guys? Am I right?"
"That's strike one Yang." Grif said as he ate his pizza.
Ruby immediately tried to get her team pumped up again, "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."
"Before you continue, what's the other binder for?" Church asked.
"Glad you asked." Ruby smiled as she opened it up, "Over the first semester a few of you, and by that I mean all, have let your language slip. But don't worry I kept tabs and made payment plans for all of you." Ruby said as she handed out bills.
Tucker glance at Church's, "Ha you owe 589." He laughed.
"Meh fuck it." Church said as he pulled out an envelope from his jacket labeled 1000 Lien and slammed the money onto the table, "This is because I don't give a shit and I've been known to curse a whole lot worse."
"How the hell do you have that much money?" Tucker asked.
"Don't ask." Church responded.
"No, I feel like you owe us all a f-" Tucker stopped as a pie hit his face from team JNPR who originally aimed it at Yang.
[Just Outside the Cafeteria]
Sun was walking alongside his friend and trusted teammate as he was telling him the story of the dock battle. His teammate had a slender build, possessed a dazzling smile and beautiful blue hair, all around good looking guy.
"Man, that's harsh." The teammate said.
"So then we were all fighting side by side, and two of them were super fast while that other guy I told you about was like crazy tough. I threw a banana at his friend, which sounds gross, but it was awesome." Sun spoke fast to relay the story.
"Nice." His friend simply added.
"Right?" Sun assured, "And the best part the three of them are all faunus. But you can't tell anyone about Blake or Tucker. Church is pretty obvious and he doesn't hide it. Just those two's secret."
"Got it." The blue haired teen nodded.
"And not the 'I'm gonna tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back.' kinda secrets. I'm talking secrets secrets." Sun reinforced.
"Woah, chill out man. Okay? I got it." the teammate said, "I got it."
"You better." Sun ordered as his friend shrugged it off, "I just don't wanna screw this up, ya know? The people here are the coolest. No offense to you guys."
"None Taken."
"Okay they're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So, be cool okay? You're gonna be cool, right?" Sun asked.
"Dude." His friend said as Sun panned his friend up and down.
"Wait!" A new face came rushing towards them, "Please tell me this is the Cafeteria."
"Yeah, what about it?" Sun asked.
"Oh, I'm supposed to meet my team here." The teen was about the same size as Sun with his Atlas uniform on. His hair was blonde at the top and black on the sides, his face having a scar on his left cheek and another on his right side forehead. His accessory: a pair of black leather gloves with yellow accents on the back.
"Want to hang with us? I'm Neptune." The blue haired teen said.
"Sun." Sun answered.
"David Washington." The blonde/dark mixed one said.
As they made their way inside many people were exiting as though there was a battle. Which there was.
Nora stood atop a stack of vending machines and tables boasting as a champion, "Ha ha ha! I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle." She cheered.
Ruby rose against Nora, "Justice will be swift. Justice will be painful. It will be delicious." She said as her team roared with her.
Caboose's team followed his cheer, "For wings and country. Fight!" He said as Church strapped two bundles of bananas to his waist, Tucker held a long spicy sausage as a sword, Doc scurrying away to avoid the fight entirely, and Caboose holding a large T-bone steak by the bottom of the T that had bite marks in it.
"For the pizzaaaaaaaa!" Grif shouted as held a large turkey leg that served as a club in his right and a pizza in his left. Meanwhile, Donut used a bowl of noodles as a whip at the same time Simmons and Lopez were working on different devices with tools and parts that were around.
"Alright team, let's do this!" Emerald said as she pointed to the fight.
However her team were in no mood, "Sorry Em. Just got these boots." Mercury said flipping over two tables to use as cover.
"Can't, gotta study for a test." Melanie said as she opened her book.
"Too busy, got to finish last night's homework." Militia said.
"You cowards." Emerald said as she held her fist up.
Caboose tossed Emerald two carrots, "Doc kinda doesn't fight sooo... wanna be on our team?" Caboose asked. Emerald was about to turn down the giant but then he sweetened the deal, "You can be leader~" He said.
And like that, the food fight began as team JNPR launched watermelons at everyone. As the wave of produce rushed over the leaders acted fast.
"Yang, turkey!" Ruby said as Yang stuffed both her hands into turkeys and began punching the melons away.
"Church, cover fire." Emerald said as Church began firing the bananas from their peels.
Grif lifted up a table to protect his teammates from the brief rainstorm. As he believed it ended, he dropped the table only to be hit by two more watermelons. Simmons rushed to his side for help.
"Pi-zz-zz-a." Grif muttered.
"What? What is it?" Simmons asked.
"Pizza." Grif said as he reached for the pizza in his hand.
Simmons pulled Grif's arm closer to his face as the man opened his mouth to take a bite of pizza. On that first bite his pupils became dilated, his veins pumped up and his muscles bulged. Grif was revived.
Emerald then sent everyone to attack, Church in the middle, Caboose on the rear and Tucker going after anyone.
After the first attack from JNPR ended, Yang fired her turkey gloves at Jaune and knocked him back. Blake attacked Pyrrah with large bread sticks and Pyrrah vice versa.
As the two were interlocked in battle and unexpected guest came into the picture. "BANZAI!!!" Tucker shouted as he came overhead.
Pyrrah battled two opponents, so did Blake and Tucker as it was a free for all. Food clashing food, as the three went from side to side battling each other. The first to fall was Tucker as he missed his footing and was pulled back by Donut's noodle whips. Blake was soon outmatched as Pyrrah jabbed her away, then proceeded to use the bread as spears as she hurled them at Yang.
Ruby then surfed on a tray, dodging all of Pyrrah's attacks and swerved a few strikes from Caboose and Grif. She finally made it to Pyrrah as she used her tray to push Pyrrah back into a soda machine.
Ruby landed back where Weiss was, as Ren and Nora rushed the two of them. Lopez and Simmons finished their devices as Simmons rose with a machine gun made out of two soup cans, one box of Pumpkin Pete's cereal, and a bowl which fired different assorted nuts. While Lopez made a fruit launcher out of an oatmeal container, a large bag of chips and a few utensils, which shot out large round fruit.
Immediately the two began firing randomly in different directions. Weiss used ketchup to make the floor slippery as Ren came charging causing him to slide into Lopez and Simmons. That was when Nora used the confusion to jump up high and reach for the flag pole. As she broke it off Nora twirled it overhead and stabbed it into a watermelon.
She charged forward at Weiss but hit Ruby who took the first hit for Weiss. Weiss then grabbed a swordfish and used this as rapier to attack Nora. Nora spun her hammer around to avoid Weiss's thrusts and strikes, and finished her off with hammer strike to Weiss's side. Weiss flew across the room, where rushed to her side, "No, Weiss don't leave me. Weiss? No!" She cried.
Grif grabbed his giant turkey leg and charged Nora, as her hammer hit his club they both felt the shock and backed up.
Grif looked to Simmons, "Pizza!"
Nora looked to Ren, "Pancake!"
The two received each of their favorite foods as their partners tossed them over. Grif scarfed his pizza in two rapid bites rapid while Nora slurped her pancake down in a second. The two rushed each other to receive the same results, equally matched thanks to the power boost.
Tucker and Yang challenged each other as Yang had new turkey gauntlets and Tucker her his sausage sword. The two hit each other as Yang went in for a kick and was blocked by Tucker's arm. Tucker blushed a little, "Um, Yang, you want to go out sometime?" He asked as he avoided looking up her skirt.
Yang smiled, "Sure, I'd love to." She said. After she then proceeded to beat Tucker with a flurry of punches. Left, right, right, left, huge uppercut and finally another punch to the chest. Launching him like a bullet towards Jaune.
Tucker landed on Jaune, then told him the great news, "Hey Jaune. Guess who got a date?" He asked.
"Good for you man." Jaune congratulated his friend as they were both coughing away their pain.
Church was caught in an all out battle between him, Lopez, Simmons, Ren. Church pulled out two his bananas out from his side as he fired one at Lopez causing him to fire just slightly of target and another at Ren who blocked the the first hit with a two leek. Ren jumped up to catch Church off guard, but fell into Church's trap as Church calculated how Lopez would miss shot and where causing Ren to be hit hard in the chest by an orange.
Church then ran towards Lopez but shot multiple times at Simmons, each shot making their mark. Rattled and splattered with fruit Simmons fell towards the wall. Church made it to Lopez as he scooped up a pie from the floor and smashed it in Lopez's face. Proud, Church paused only to get smacked by Nora.
Nora then proceeded to knock Yang through the ceiling as she disappeared from view. Blake grabbed multiple links of sausages and used them to strike Nora back. Nora was unprepared for such an event of random attacks that she fell back into the soda machine pile. Which gave her an edge as she picked up the soda cans and chucked them directly at Blake.
Emerald and Donut were locked in combat as his whips, much like his chain was had a long reach. Emerald used the carrots like her kamas, but she had a hard time closing the gap. But her tactical mind was at play and had thought of Donut closing the gap for her. She entangled the noodles around her orange vegetables and pulled against him. Donut pulled back, Emerald smiled as she jumped and stomped on his chest after he gave her the tug.
Emerald looked up to see a wave of soda cans rush in her direction, thanks to Pyrrah. But her bear saved her as Caboose jumped in front of her with a table in hand. Holding it up, he planted his feet firmly in the ground and held off the exploding soda cans.
Ruby looked at the chaos and used her semblance in return for Pyrrah's. With Ruby's speed in a spiral working against Pyrrah, everything went against the flow in the opposite direction. The force swept everything that wasn't nailed down and everyone as flew through the air.
The only ones who weren't pulled were Emerald who was hugged down to the ground by Caboose. Church who clawed the floor when he felt the feel of a hurricane from Ruby. Along with anyone else who was behind her.
The pull grabbed everyone from the floor and pinned them to the wall. Whatever was in the cafeteria was then splattered across the wall with everyone on it. As the food stop flying, a mural of tossed meals and snacks and the colorful people who layed across it.
Sun smiled as he saw the Tek-out match, "I love these guys." He cheered as he turned to Neptune who was covered in a purple substance. Washington who stayed behind him to avoid that from happening.
Glynda and Salem suddenly came raging into the room as she used her riding crop to fix the mess. With a twirl of Glynda's wand, she fixed the items while Salem covered the room in a quick shadow to clean up the spilled mess all from the floors, walls and ceilings. Glynda stressed her face, "Children, please. Do not play with your food." She said.
Grif who somehow napped, through the fight to moment he saw a pizza box tossed to the side and finished it, snored and burped so loud it grabbed everyone's attention. At that moment Yang finally came down with a hard impact, making everyone laugh.
Ozpin then placed a hand on his wife's shoulder, but addressed Glynda as well, "Let it go." He pleaded.
"These are the next generation of huntsmen and huntresses." Salem whispered to the two of them.
"And they will be. But right now they're still children. So why not let them play the part? After all...it isn't a roll they'll have forever." Ozpin said as he walked away from the ladies and students.
David Washington, kept his eyes focused on one individual in the room. One certain faunus.
[Somewhere Else In A Warehouse In Vale]
Marcus found his way stumbling back to the hideout after he believed he finished the job and celebrated with a drink. Given the fact that he woke up in an alleyway drunk, and he was next to a dumpster with a body that looked to be like Tukson's.
The place was busy as members of the White Fang had been offloading packages, crates and other dust containers. The place was packed with so much, ammunition it would make throwing off a city easy.
One of the main men in charge spotted Marcus, "Well she sent in the original... and here I was hoping I'd be enough." The man wearing a white coat, black dress pants, a boulder hat and cane said as he walked towards him. One of his eyes were covered by his orange hair and the other had eyeshadow under it.
"Oh Torchwick, I could say I'm happy to see you but we both know that's a lie." Marcus smiled as he walked away.
"Some one's been busy..." Roman Torchwick said as he glanced at the card to reveal an address, "Why do you have this address?"
"Business." Marcus replied.
"What kind of business?" Roman asked again.
"My kind."
"I was handling it."
"So letting fly with the wind is your idea of 'handling it'?"
"Listen, I do things differently from you. So get with the program or I'll-" Roman stopped he heard a voice cut off his.
"You'll what?" The voice of Cinder Fall asked as she walked into the room.
Roman knew he couldn't win, "I'll do nothing." He complied.
"Cinder, glad to help." Marcus smiled as he saluted.
"I thought you were going to take care of any would be runaways?" Cinder asked as she made her way closer towards him.
"I was going to." Roman responded.
"And few packed bags and a ticket to Vacuo say differently. Wait any longer and you'd have lost him. I took care of our rat problem." Marcus argued.
Some White Fang grunt heard the conversation, "Not to be a stickler but Tukson was like a big cat." they shouted.
"What like a puma?" Another grunt asked.
"Yeah that's it." The first one replied.
"Quiet." Cinder said, "Didn't I specifically tell you to keep your hands clean."
"Sorry, just thinking I could help." Marcus groaned.
"You made your mercenary work by not thinking, but obeying." Cinder ordered.
"Yes ma'am." Marcus sarcastically said.
Cinder then focused back to Roman, "And you. Why wasn't this job done sooner?" She asked.
Roman thought for a moment, then motioned to the Dust behind him, "Uh, eh? Ehhh? EHHHHHHH??? Sorry if me and former partner were busy nabbing every speck of Dust across the kingdom." He said.
"Awww, does Torchwick think he's under appreciated?" Marcus asked.
"And the reward for best heists goes to me for my work. I'm forcing cops to panic, prices of Dust to skyrocket and we're currently in a warehouse with more Dust vials, crystals and rounds than the we know what to do with. Speaking of which, still am wondering what that plan of yours is. Just make my job, little bit easier." Roman pleaded to know more.
Cinder walked close up again, "Oh Roman, have a little faith. You'll know what you need, when you need to know it." She said forcing him to comply again, "Besides, we're done with Dust."
"Okay, then what now?" Roman asked.
"We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight." She said as she walked away.
"Coordinates?" Roman asked.
"We're proceeding to phase two." Cinder answered.
Marcus purposely bumping into Torchwick making him drop his cigar and lighter smirking as he went to his team. A team of young mercenaries he made called, Insurrectionists.
[End of Chapter 1 of Volume 2]
Finally, I beaten around the bush with this one. Sorry for the wait. Also I might make a beginning to a Fallout Red Vs Blue crossover story while also finishing multiple chapters for the monster musume red vs blue crossover. Tell me what you think about this and became sure to follow and favorite this story.
