Chp. 6: The Meeting
Hallways
In the halls of Beacon Team RWBY and Team JNPR were starting to make their way to their dorm rooms.
"So tomorrow we watch the initiation, then rest of the day for ourselves?" Jaune asked.
"That pretty much sums it up," Ren said.
"And we pretty much have a free day today," Yang said.
"And some time to discuss what we should do about Salem," Ruby said.
"We couldn't agree more," a voice said.
Everyone turned to see Glynda along with Team CFVY (Coffee) standing behind them.
"Professor Goodwitch, what brings you here?" Weiss asked.
"Professor Ozpin wants to see all of us," Coco replied.
"What for?" Pyrrha asked.
"With what Ms. Rose implied," Glynda answered.
"And he has a surprise for all of us," Fox added.
"Surprise? What is it?! Tell me! Tell me!" Nora exclaimed.
"Patience, Ms. Valkyrie," Glynda said. "I can assure you that you will be happy to see it. Even though I'm not. Now please follow me."
The three teams followed their combat teacher down the hallway.
Lecture Hall
A few minutes later Glynda, Teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY all approached up to a lecture hall. Asthey entered inside, the teams gasped in surprise and shock to find Team GRMA and Team CFDT, sitting behind their desks.
"Guys!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Hey, guys. We're back," Jacob said.
Ruby runs down towards Jacob and hugs him, to which he hugs back. Ricky and Weiss ran up and hugged each other, as did Yang and Kelly, Blake and Allen, Jaune and Rebecca, Ren and Britney, Pyrrha and Kendra, and Nora and Robert.
"It's great to see you all again," Pyrrha said.
"Same goes right back at you," Ricky said.
"I see you have on the clothes I bought you. Looking good," Coco said, lowering her sunglasses.
"Thanks," Kendra said.
"Now if you'd all take your seats," Ozpin said.
The students all took their seats behind their desks. "Now that you're here, let us discuss our mission against her," Ozpin said.
"First up we'd like to know what's been happening and what you and the others are currently doing," Jacob said.
"Ever since the battle in Beacon, we all became famous," Yang said.
"Really?" Rebecca asked.
"Yes, but you will be receiving massive attention. The media will want to see you," Ozpin said.
"Even my father asked me to ask you to come over for a party for when you come to Atlas," Weiss said.
"That bad, huh?" Allen asked.
"You all gained worldwide attention. Even Salem would probably not ignore this," Glynda said.
"So we have to not stay out in the open for too long?" Robert asked.
"That is what I would do," Pyrrha answered.
"Anything else?" Britney asked.
"I just sent Qrow out to find Oscar Pine and Maria Calavera while keeping in touch with the huntsmen and students in Mistral," Ozpin said.
"To prevent Professor Lionheart from giving information to Salem," Velvet said.
"Correct, Ms. Scarlatina," Glynda replied.
"Before we decide on what we should do, are there any future predictions we should know about, Jacob?" Ozpin asked.
"Yes. We received a copy of RWBY: Before the Dawn from the author before it was released," Jacob said, pulling out the book.
"After reading it, we have some good news and bad news," Ricky said.
"The good news is that the Crown is not with Salem," Robert said.
"What's the bad news?" Yatsuhashi asked.
"The bad news is that they are equally as dangerous as the White Fang if not dealt with immediately," Kendra said.
"Can you tell us more about the Crown?" Fox asked.
"The Crown's goal is to kidnap people with strong semblances to acquire an unstoppable army then use it to restore Vacuo's monarchy then later turn on the rest of the world," Allen explained.
"The Crown mainly consists of seven members. Carmine Esclados, Bertilak Celadon, Umber Gorgoneion, Rosa Schwein, Argento Pocoron, and their leaders Jax Asturias and his twin sister Gillian Asturias," Britney explained.
"We'll let you guys read this so you have a better understanding of who you're up against," Rebecca said.
"With this new information, we're stretched thin," Ozpin said.
"If we're stretched thin, then what do we do now?" Nora asked.
"We have a suggestion," Jacob said.
"And that is?" Weiss asked.
"In the book, Teams CFVY, SSSN (Sun), ABRN (Auburn), and the last surviving member of Team BRNZ (Bronze) all formed a group called the Beacon Brigade as a comfort group to deal with the trauma from Beacon and Haven's closures and from the relentless tormenting provoked by the Vacuan students," Jacob explained.
"So we thought that we formed a group like that except meant to fight against Salem," Britney said.
"And we would invite in new members by voting amongst ourselves," Kendra added.
"So sort of like the Avengers or the Justice League?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah, sort of," Kelly answered.
"But it would include both Remnans and Terrans," Robert added.
"I don't know about this, Jacob. I don't want anyone else involved," Ozpin said.
"Maybe we can convince them to fight against her followers like Cinder and not say a word about Salem until they prove to be trustworthy," Jaune said.
"And now that I think about it, if Earth and Remnant do discover each other's existence, this will show that by working together, this could show that both worlds are capable of working together," Glynda said.
Ozpin stood in place, puzzling over the idea for a moment.
"It's a risky move, but everything can be covered and this could open greater relations for both our worlds if we make this new group," Ozpin said.
"So yes?" Yang asked.
"Yes, but General Ironwood, Captain Gordon, and Professor Theodore must be informed of this," Ozpin said.
"Sounds fair," Robert replied.
"Any ideas for the group's name," Blake asked.
Jacob was about to speak but then started thinking of what the name should be.
"Oh! Oh! How 'bout the pink bombers?" Nora asked, raising her hand.
"Nora, it has to represent something that shows that we protect everyone as a whole," Ren said.
"Right, something that means we will fight against any threat that threatens to do harm," Weiss added.
"Something that shows Earth and Remnant's connections," Allen said.
"We'll give you all time to think about it. Until then you may all go now," Glynda said.
Everyone got up from their seats and started leaving the lecture hall.
Atlas Academy, Atlas
Headmaster's Office
Meanwhile in the headmaster's office of Atlas Academy, General Ironwood was sitting behind his desk waiting for someone to show up. The doors open to reveal two people. The first is Captain Keaton Gordon. The second is a man with short brown hair and teal-green eyes. He wore a sleeveless Atlesian Specialist uniform that consisted of a white sleeveless double breasted coat with red and blue accents with ornate detailing shaped to the form of wishbones, broad tail with red lining and a four-leaf clover pin on the lapel. His belt had a rabbit's foot keychain hanging off it. He also wore white pants and covered his hands with brown fingerless gloves. He also wears blue calf high boots with four dark blue straps and silver steel toe plating. This is the leader of the Ace Operatives, Clover Ebi.
"You wanted to see us, sir?" Clover asked.
"Yes, I just got a call from Ozpin a few minutes ago," Ironwood said.
"What did he want?" Keaton asked.
"He told me that your brother and his friends have shown up at Beacon unannounced," Ironwood answered.
"What?!" Keaton yelled.
"He's told me that none of them appear to be sick and that they have more future information for us to look through," Ironwood explained.
"That doesn't excuse them for illegally migrating to another world," Keaton said.
"Ozpin said that Jacob proposed that we all should form an organization that can show Earth and Remnant that they would work better working together than against each other," Ironwood said.
Keaton stood in thought at his brother's idea for a moment before looking back at General Ironwood.
"That's actually not a bad idea. I'll have to notify the U.S. government about this," Keaton said.
"I'll have an airship ready for you and your team. Clover, I want you to inform the rest of your team and Robyn of this," Ironwood said.
"Yes, sir," Clover said with a salute.
"Right, you two may go now," Ironwood said.
Keaton and Clover turned around and then walked out the door then walked down the hall.
"That kids and my brother don't know how much trouble they are in right now," Keaton groaned.
"I'm sure they know better than this and must have a good explanation for this," Clover said.
"I know but still, I'm the least of their worries. It's the higher ups back on Earth that they should be worried about," Keaton said.
"Maybe you could tell them that they had more information for us that was beneficial for avoiding more upcoming attacks," Clover said.
"Not going to be easy, Clover, but I'll try," Keaton said.
Author's Note: If you have any ideas for a name for the new group, please feel free to comment.
