Surprise fic of a SI as a faunas of a pokemon for no apparent reason other than I felt like it ENJOY YOU BI- precious people with a lot of time on their hands just like I do.
Sighing for what felt like the tenth time in today I kept my eyes on the drunken... Racist trying to rile me up "I... hic... Tall ya' Gays... sould put... a cullar on... tat bing" I gave him a raised eyebrow and turned to one of the many mooks in black suits that this bar has to offer who in turn only gave me a shrug.
He kept going while I simply ignored him even when he took a couple of... I wouldn't call them swings considering how he always missed me or just did nothing to me, I had about two heads over him on the height department being 6'8 made me taller than most to be honest... then again the height department around this place is a higher than usual.
Of course, that was all my VERY special Faunos heritage that came from a brown bear on steroids, also known as an Ursaring yeah that one that simply put me on a weight class of my own even in this crazy world that was in and with all that power on my fingertips I intelligently decided to be a Bouncer on a bar run by a man named Junior that had some weird love for black suits, red ties, and red sunglasses.
I kept the red tie loosely over my neck without tying it up my suit's jacket was also worn over my shoulders more like a cape than anything else while I simply didn't have red sunglasses because I found them dumb, black pants with black shoes and all that nothing too fancy really, my brown hair with the very obvious bear ears are by far my most attracting feature, my eyes are just normal black.
And the back of my jacket had a big red hollow circle on it because of reasons..., not me referencing my very dubious origins, nope not at all.
The man slumped and fell towards me and I simply kicked him back keeping him from landing on me "Surprising that this is the first one of tonight" racism was a very real problem that I simply couldn't give enough of a fuck about, there weren't a lot of people out there that could really do something to actually harm me.
The mook who shrugged again "You get that many weirdos like him?" oh so he does talk.
I gave him a small smile "Pretty much, last guy actually threw up in front of me, now that one was hilarious" being a Bouncer did have his perks after all, not the nicest perks yeah but seeing drunk idiots trying and failing at being threatening had its flare.
"Oh so that's why you always just ignore them, kind of cruel" he commented with a swipe of his hands to get across his message to which I responded with a raised brow.
But it turned into a smile "No, that's pity, there was this one that was actually sober and started a fight on the club over allowing Faunos into the building, I broke his femur with a punch and cracked his ribs... good times" I said remembering with fondness every time I had to actually beat someone up.
"Now that makes more sense, I'm Barry by the way" he introduced himself with a smile while I actually forgot he wasn't just a nameless mook... anymore that is.
May as well introduce myself "Bruno Ursaring, a walking embodiment of everything a Bear shouldn't be able to get away with".
"What an attitude?" he joked with a smile.
And I was obviously going to join on the fun "Thumbs, but that works too" we shared a small laugh which Stoped when we saw a blond boy come towards us wearing pieces of armor over a Hoodie of all things, looking out of place and just insecure all around.
Oh... yeah this guy.
"Here for your stuff?" I asked the blond kid that flinched back, he is never going to get used to me... probably anyway, that kid is Jaune Arc kid that has absolutely no idea what he is getting into, Junior was kind enough to unlock his Aura by making him broke yeah but better broke than dead.
Jaune nodded stiffly "Ah... sure, he told me to come a month before initiation started..." he continuously trailed off, showing that he wasn't really confident in his own words and that he is also a bit of a pushover.
I rolled my eyes "I'll take you to him then, Barry keep things clean here" I said while opening the club's doors Jaune following behind me just outside of hands reach, this pansy wants to enter Beacon?... sad.
The party was wild and people are getting drunk, the usual shit that involves a club with loads of alcohol and teenagers that don't know any better, and like back home, some people were doing the act of shaking their asses like idiots... because of course, that's a thing here too.
Jaune was trying hard to fight down the blush in his face and failed miserably "You are green kid, what made you try a deal with Junior of all people?" I always wondered that about the kid never got an answer.
He fidgeted in place "Well I always wanted to live up to my family name, Parents didn't agree... so here we are, underprepared and alone to Beacon for a shot at living my dream" that's... so stupid, but it worked out in the end for him.
Kinda.
"That takes a brave man, not necessarily smart to pull out... I'm unsure if I should respect you or pity you" I answered while seeing Junior talking with Roman on a table upstairs both of them looking a little heated, the Twins looking wary and Neo seemingly ready to stab someone... joy, street politics at work.
I sighed and pointed to Jaun at the stairs "Stay there and don't mess with anyone, I have shit to do" did I sound like a whiny baby? maybe, but every time those five had a disagreement it always ended with dead stares and a lot of pent-up stress that was usually thrown back in my direction.
Neo was... a pain in the ass with the attitude of a power tool, health hazards included, doesn't help that she saw me as the main target for her errands that always involved ice cream of some kind, the Twins Melanie and Miltia are as bad with a coyote's pack mentality included and usually didn't stop bitching about Neo being a bitch until I died of annoyance.
Junior and Roman are a lot more mature... unless they are on the same room, then it becomes a dick measuring contest that never seems to end, they mix as well as water and oil but lord only knows why they still are business partners.
I was sadly right in the middle of their fallouts all the time, I walked up the stairs while trying to hear what I was getting into "... AND I keep telling YOU, to give me a good reason to lend them to an early life on prison to your fuck ups? all that stolen Dust can't be just for you Roman, so who is actually contracting my boys?" Junior sounded angrier than usual, so not their typical bouts.
Roman rolled his eyes while making an over-exaggerated gesture of redundancy with his free hand "Sure I will let me just keep back and look for mister Mc doesn't exist, not my fault they are dumb as bricks and can't follow basic plans no matter what" I had the feeling Neo wanted to nod but her eyes landed on me, prompting everyone else to turn to me.
Welp... he is with Cinder already "Junior, kid's here for his stuff" I said wanting to see if he actually remembers Jaune's scrawny ass, the look of confusion he gave me said it all.
"Suicidal and blonde, collect the dots" recognition flashed through his eyes while he grunted and ran a hand down his face while throwing one last glared at Roman that rolled his eyes at the gesture.
He got up and turned to me "Where is he? I still have to make him sing" he jabbed his thumb at Roman.
"On the stairs" I simply replied while shrugging my shoulders while stepping away letting him pass, the air was tense Melanie was still staring with obvious malicious intent at Roman, Miltia tried to keep the anger off her face.
Melanie is a teenage girl with long black hair with a straight fringe that covers her eyebrows and pale green eyes, highlighted by heavy cyan makeup. She wears an off-white, strapless dress that graduates to a cyan towards the skirt, it has a cyan layered feathery tulle that hangs longer than the dress and a small bow in the top centred part of the dress. A pair of white thigh boots with red lace-up detailing that double as bladed weapons.
Miltia is a teenage girl with short black bob style hair with a straight fringe and pale green eyes, highlighted by heavy red makeup. She wears a red strapless dress that is patterned with newspaper articles with the headings "A New York la pop art di Alborghetti", "Amity Arena", and "New York Fine Art". The dress has black and dark red lace layered tulle that hangs down more than the dress. She has an off centred bow belt around her waist. She wears a pair of red thigh-high boots with black heels and soles alongside white lace-up detail, along with her favored weapon of choice... claws literally just claws, that fold and make them look like very sharp bracelets.
You can tell that for some damn reason everyone but Junior has a super-advanced sense of fashion, he only wears his smoking and red tie and white under-shirt... simple and all that.
Then Roman and Neo... fashion monsters again.
Neo the ice cream that she is with that hair and eyes wears a white cropped wide, broad-tailed jacket with a pink interior, collar, a single pink button and large pink cuffs. She wears brown pants with a dark belt that has a gray buckle and an additional narrow belt under it. Under her jacket is a brown corset, curved in the middle and at the bottom, exposing her hips. She also wears a multitude of black beaded necklaces, which hang haphazardly around her neck. Neo also wears black and white spat styled under the knee boots alongside black gloves.
Roman wears a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. His accessories included a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band, and eyeliner for some reason unknown to us mere mortals.
Neo waved at me with her cocky smile prompting me to nod out of reflex and then Roman opened his mouth "Heard you were doing a killing here, no one wants to cross you as far as I can tell that takes skill" oh he isn't...
He leaned forward "Skill that I could definitely put to better use than being a Bouncer of all thing-" he was interrupted by a loud clap from Melanie.
"I believe he is content with his current occupation... Roman" the white-clad twin released her words with contempt while I was busy wondering when they would all stop trying to drag me to crime, I AM just a Bouncer and nothing more but they all know that I'm a lot tougher than most and that translates to 'need muscle' or something like that.
Miltia put a hand over my shoulders while I was busy contemplating if not trying to be a Huntsmen was worth this "He enjoys quality time with people that aren't bound to get him in hazardous... schemes" ah yes because a gang is better than a squad.
Neo frowned if even for just a second then broke apart into pieces while I ignored the weight on my shoulders, this is what I get for playing silent big guy, should have kept an asshole facade "Roman I'm not interested, much less considering how your whole operation changed overnight about two weeks ago" Roman reaction was weird for a straight second he looked actually disappointed.
Not that it lasted "Oh well, you'll change your mind soon enough" he shrugged in a 'what can you do?' manner, Neo wasn't happy about that and considering the tightening I felt on my shoulders, not that she could actually harm me through her power alone I am just build different and it's not like her strength was her strong point.
My eyes wandered to the floor bellow and blinked when my eyes landed on the open front door and the slumped form of Barry, my eyes went through the dancing floor quickly and stoped on a bright colored girl with long and blond hair, dressed in a mix between provocative and rural... brown jacket over what I can only guess is a yellow sports bra, a half-skirt on her waist revealing the black shorts along with combat boots and yellow bracelets that could only be weapons.
Yang Xiao Long...
A smile had crept up on my face and I had a very good idea why, everyone that started trouble on the club I could fold them with my pinky this... could prove interesting "You're smiling? are you really into blond bimbos?" the sudden question of Miltia didn't stop my smile but I did glance at her for a moment.
"Hardly, looks a little on the bratty side" I said without letting my eyes leave Yang, she is bound to start something and I'm most likely right considering she is getting closer to both Jaune and Junior that are probably sorting out the last part of their business.
I glanced at Neo on my shoulders "Looks like I have a job to do" Neo shrugged her shoulders and with nimble movement literally did a back flip and landed back on her seat next to Roman that took a quick sip of his drink and glanced down with a small smile.
Miltia had already let go of me "Put up a nice show Bruno" she gave me a pat on the back and left while Melanie just sighed, always the serious one... but she couldn't hide the smirk on her face even if she tried.
While I slowly made my way out I saw the body of Jaune being flung in my direction which I caught with one arm hearing a groan "Guess there is no love between fellow gold heads?" I asked him and he groaned again, what a conversation I pulled him down on the stairs sitting and looked towards Junior that was being grabbed by the balls.
"What did you guys said to her anyway?" I asked just enjoying my boss's suffering a little longer.
Jaune looked up at me with dizzy eyes "I only asked her to wait for her turn..." I rose one brow at that, well her temper is about what I expected my eyes moved back at Junior that was walking away from yang with a pained grimace on his face while being surrounded by his grunts Yang following after them with a cocky grin on her face.
Time to get to work, I walked behind Yang and yanked her shoulder to turn to me making her eyes turn red for a moment then back at their usual color "You're causing a scene, please do go throw a tantrum back at home where they can actually tolerate you" my words struck true and her eyes narrowed, I signaled to the grunts to basically fuck off.
While Junior smiled at me and ran a thumb along his throat, guess she pissed him off "Ah don't be so mad, don't bears like honey anyways?" she leaned forward probably thinking that I would take the bait like Junior who usually does that kind of stuff to creep out younger people that try to drink here... not the smartest way to go about it but it worked, until today that is.
I gave her a smirk "Sorry, I only accept quality and not cheap knock-offs" oh now that one got her mad, she kept the smile on her face but anyone could tell she was a second away from snapping.
She suddenly reared her arm back while I did the same, sadly for her mine glowed white up to my elbow... this is Hammer Arm and does exactly as the name implies "RAAAGH!" she roared and her now armored fist connected with my lariat completely pushing her back, not deterred she landed on a roll and used her gauntlets shotgun part to throw herself back at me.
My smile wouldn't leave my face, that was a good punch from her I crossed my arms while my body was covered on a green shield and took her blow head-on, Protect is such and useful move... her eyes narrowed and she started throwing as many punches as she could making her seem more like a machinegun than a boxer.
She took a step back and I lowered my Protect giving her a smile "My turn then" I felt my body bulk up, muscles blooming with strength... Superpower and I dashed forward while throwing a haymaker that she ducked under it and threw a liver blow, but I lowered my elbow and blocked the hit with it frowning slightly at the shotgun blast.
My forearm lashed out like a club and she blocked with her armored arms being thrown back like a ragdoll while catching herself on the air and sticking the landing, my Muscles relaxed and I gave her a small nod... then punched the ground and Stones the size of cars starting rising from the ground towards her, Stone Edge.
Her eyes widened and she reloaded her gauntlets quickly, throwing the string of shells on the air and catching them on her gauntlets then started shooting with reckless abandon breaking stone just as fast as it was being generated "HOW MANY TRICKS DO YOU HAVE!?" she questioned while I lowered my body and charged through the stones while I was covered on purple energy with a yellow crescent in front of me, Giga Impact.
Her eyes widened and took the full force of a human... or faunas comet, she released a shout of pain and was thrown back with force rolling along the crystal floor of the dance floor while people were leaving in a panic just when the fight got close to them, typical.
She rose to one knee while panting heavily I was slowly walking in her direction while cracking my knuckles "Had enough Goldilocks?" it was an honest question born from the fact of the flickering Aura around her, usually a sign of Aura about to break apart.
Yang face turned to mine with a snarl and red eyes along with her hair that may as well be on fire "Not even getting started" she rose to her feet and clashed her fist together, she entered a low boxing stance... Peek-A-Boo?.
Then she dashed forward in a zig-zag pattern, I rose my guard and prepared to take the blows she was at least three times faster now and her power must have increased too if I remember correctly according to how much damage she took, I covered my arms in the energy shield of Protect and felt the first hit connect from my left moving my arms slightly at the side, grunting I stood my ground taking the next one from the right.
Left.
Right.
Left.
Right.
Left.
She was starting to push me back, she kept going without stopping and slowly pushing me back I could feel my protection fall apart slowly and then she committed a mistake, the next blow would be a right but she had taken extra time to swing, to try and end to fight... and that's all I needed.
Drooping protect and holding my left forearm to take the blow while a slight red glow covered my body her fist impacted with a defeaning explosion but my smile turned feral, I right foot stomped the ground creating a web of cracks behind me while I reared my right fist back and used 'Counter' the ability to take a physical blow and return it with double the power.
She was insisting on a fisting anyway.
My fist met her face and she was sent back with a loud boom, wind rippled as if a jet had just reached its top speed and Yang rolled along the floor until she met a wall... that she went through, the ground she was sliding through was broken and Junior will definitely complain about that.
But all in all, I did my job pretty well "Never enter the Bear's territory without a back-up plan brat..." I mumbled to myself and glanced at the closest grunt to me while giving him a raised eyebrow.
"Go check on the guy at the door, I'm done here" I said while walking back to Jaune that was staring at me like I was the greatest thing after cake, but his eyes showed an incredible amount of respect.
He shook his head and signaled at me "You.. that... what?" I smiled and flicked him on the forehead making him almost fall on his ass.
"That's the world you are trying to enter, and keep in mind she is just a Huntress-in-Training... you have a long way to go boy, so let me do you a solid... Saturdays are my free days if you come here early I can train you with what I know" this was a sign of respect on my part, the guy was insane enough to try and do this with literally everything against him.
That and he will get a lot of people killed if he went there like he is right now "ummm... Thanks, I'll think about it" he rubbed the back of his head and waved at me while walking away, papers clutched on one hand.
He is going to come back.
My face returned to it's usual scowl, it was like my default expression now that I think about it, and glanced upwards to see Neo giving me what could only be described as a 'meh' expression, apparently she wanted me to beat her up more... sadistic bitch.
I went back up to see the satisfied expressions of just about everyone but Neo, Junior was seating awkward for very painful reasons "You are worth every single cent I spent on you kid and so much more..." don't say that stuff while you are trying to not rub your balls from the pain...
Roman shared my thoughts "Yeah... really ball saver, player of the year and all that... SO about those fresh bodies I nee-" Junior gave Roman a flat stare and he rose his hand to stop him.
Junior sighed "Look Torchwick... the losses I get from your escapades increased out of nowhere, you are getting desperate and that's weird for you... whatever you got involved with it's not my problem, you either talk or we are through" there was a moment of silence and I took a moment to notice how Roman sneer was more out of fear than anything else, hell the fact that even Neo wasn't smiling told me enough.
Melanie glanced at me while Miltia huffed "Why won't you talk?... sudden dust robberies, worried calls, missing grunts... Roman I'm starting to think someo-" I was throwing some of my meta knowledge but Roman got up and covered his face with his hat.
"Neo, we are leaving" the ice-themed girl shot me a weird look before listening to Roman and using her semblance to make them both fall into pieces and disappear somewhere else.
I sighed, so much for that "What's up with him?... he isn't this unprofessional or clumsy, he should have known we would have said no" Melanie brought up her thoughts while looking confused while her twin shook her head.
"Not clumsy, desperate" Miltia said with a frown while Junior grunted and started to stroke his beard while a pensive look was plastered on his face.
Then he threw a glance at me "You got the right idea kid, someone has Roman by the balls" me and the twins snickered at the same time making him roll his eyes, but he caught up on my words even if I didn't finish them.
I shrugged "This kind of behavior isn't like him, so Roman being forced into this would make sense..." I trailed off when I saw through the whole I made by sending Yang flying like a cannonball a streak of red and yellow along with the sound of a motorcycle.
And so it begins "Keep your eyes open then, whoever has Roman scared can't be good news... I'll see what I can find through my contacts just in case" Junior grunted while getting up stiffly. still sore I see.
Miltia walked up to me and patted me in the back "Keep the good work Bruno, maybe I'll finally treat you a drink" I rolled my eyes knowing she was too much of a hoarder for that to ever happen.
Melanie rolled her eyes "For another time Miltia, we should get going to our next job anyway... Later Bruno" she said the last part with a small wave and both Twins left to the first floor, most likely to kill someone.
Yup... this is my life.
Hopefully, I don't have to deal with RWBY again... any of them really.
WAS THAT ANY GOOD!?.
Well, it's a matter of perspective I'd call it decent but whatevs, later people have a good day.
