This chapter is a bit longer than most and has longer increments as well after i took one is influenced by Chibi so I hope you like the shoutout
Also just so you have ideas for SPHR voices
Skylar - Jensen Ackles/Troy Baker ( like Red Hood from Under the red hood/Arkham Knight)
Paris - Matthew Mercer (like Robin from Arkham Knight)
Helen - Kari Walgreen (like Starfire from Injustice 2)
Robin - Grey Deleslie ( like the Handmaiden from Kotor 2)
The next morning was quite unlike any other in the lives of the newly formed team SPHR.
The group along with the entire student body retired to their dormitories shortly after the initiation. At first, everyone was greeted with the most wondrous sight of a fully stocked cafeteria filled with a delicious assortment of food and even better the dessert. Needless to say a majority of the food was gone within the first hour with everyone practically wolfing down anything they could get their hands on. After all the fighting was likely to make them all hungry and thirsty. It was all almost amusing to the kitchen staff, who had likely come to expect such behavior from working at a school for hunters and huntresses for so long.
With every first year student placed on the first floor of the dorm building, not that anyone was complaining. After the fights that most had to deal with the last thing anyone wanted to do was so much as climb a set of stairs let alone multiple sets of them. The only thing that SPHR was able to do was hold themselves together long enough to hit the showers after grabbing their PJ's and making their way to the shower room in the first place. Thankfully there was plenty of privacy in the showers, with several stalls lined up in multiple rows, preventing any awkwardness
Holding his cloths in his arms, Skylar looked t his team giving them a piercing gaze most notably directed at Paris who looked almost ready to dive headfirst in the wrong direction with hopes of seeing everything that the room had to offer. It wouldn't have surprised anyone if he would suddenly begin to drool. In response, to seeing him oogle her like a prime piece of meat, Helen holding her cloths close to her raised her hand and smacked the back of the males head hard enough that it echoed in the hallway. "OUCH!" Paris yelped in surprise taken aback by his partner's actions. The young man rubbed the back of his head shooting his partner an angry glare. Helen just shrugged with a wry smile looking very unashamed of herself. She then turned to Robin and began engaging her in some mall talk about things they could do the next morning after their classes were over for the day. Skylar thought he heard "try on cloths and paint their nails, but the females left before he could get any more than that, not that he cared to anyway since it was probably about things that he couldn't care less about to be honest. Girls were crazy and he did not want to get on their bad side unlike a certain brown haired pervert he knew. Given Helens reaction to Paris that seemed to be the best option.
He just didn't know whom to pity more. It was obvious those two were either going to be bet friends or mortal enemies through out there time at Beacon. If they fell in love he might just have to throw them a party or something.
The girls went into the woman's room, while the boys went into the men's room isolated to prevent any obvious problems between the opposite sex. Skylar was grateful for the isolation to begin with considering what had happened during the fight with the bourbatusk before he and PHR were able to bring in down. It had been quite the close call but thankfully despite barely knowing one another it would seem that they had perfect chemistry when working as a team. Though some things just didn't seem to add u when fighting the darn thing.
Sighing, Skylar made his way to one of the showers hearing Paris do the same, though they both made sure to be as far away from one another as possible. Placing his clean cloths on the stool next to the shower, Skylar entered the stall and stripped himself of his cloths ready for a nice long shower before he and his team hit the sack for the evening.
Yet as he sat under the warm waterfall cascading around him Skylar couldn't help but feel some unease about his current predicament. It was almost like he was being watched. He knew it wasn't going to be Paris; the guy may be a pervert but he was clearly more interested in his opposite number than anything else and the girls were nowhere near as perverted as he was, that is if they were interested in watching them at all. Gingerly, her grabbed the curtain and moved it just enough so that he could eek around the room. Sure enough there wasn't any caught within his gaze, yet he still couldn't help but feel that someone was trying to hard. But who could be in the rom and not be seen? I wasn't like the room was designed for hiding spots (aside from the showers themselves) so they couldn't give anyone a view unless 2 people were in the stalls. Shrugging the boy just moved back into the shower. Honestly who'd be dumb enough to try and spy on him?
Meanwhile in the newly formed team RWBY's dorm, a certain blonde brawler was currently in her PJ's on her bed her arms folded under her head even though they were on a pillow her eyes gazing at the ceiling as thoughts swarmed her mind specifically about her newfound crush. Everyone else had already gone to bed; she could her Ruby snoring from across he room Weiss was sleeping unperturbed by the sound above her and Blake last she checked was sleeping with a book covering her face like she planned to read it in her sleep.
She just couldn't get the young man she met earlier out of her mind. The beauty of his eyes, his chiseled chin the way he fought all made her tingly inside and she couldn't help but blush at the thought of seeing him all toned and sweaty after a day in combat class. Preferably with his shirt off.
Her eyes were practically itching to see him again and she almost couldn't wait until tomorrow. She was able to learn from her schedule that most new students shared the same classes so it was likely that thy would see each other there and Yang was hoping to know more about him aside from his name. The most she knew about him otherwise was that he took down a giant bourbatushk after having been swept off the bridge by the giant nevermore. She was impressed by that alone and this was coming from someone ho just loved to fight. Perhaps she could convince Miss Gly nda Goodwitch to get them in a match together so that she could sweet talk him during the match and get him to fall for her. a wide grin erupted over her face at the thought of that.
Sitting up in her bed Yang turned her gaze to the door. She knew that SPHR's team dorm was next to hers, while JNPRs was across from them. She hadn't seen either of them since dinner since they all retired to their rooms after taking showers. (Yang had taken one quickly since she and the others were begging to get into bed after such a long day.) "I wonder" she whispered to herself. She turned to her side gently swinging her legs off the bed and jumped down, making sure to land as lightly as possible to avoid disrupting her teammates sleeping. She nimbly yip toed to her bedroom door and opened it, going over to the next dorm over and gently knocked on the door. There was no response. Not even a rustle of sheets or soft annoyed muttering. Yang placed a finger on her chin in though
'They couldn't possibly still be in the showers' she thought getting annoyed. Was it possible to world was just out to get her today? of all the things that could happen the object of her affections wasn't even where she thought he would be. Sighing Yang turned to look around the hallway just in case she missed something. Sure enough everything was quiet and nobody was in sight whatsoever. Her eyes almost flashed red in anger at the thought but then an idea popped under her blonde hair "My dorm faces the showers ' Yang though deviously.
She almost sprinted back to her dorm, going to her on desk and rummaged though the draws until, sure enough she pulled out her trusty handy dandy binoculars quickly checking them she quickly activated he night vision just in case she needed it, then turned and walked towards the window. The blinds were closed so she quickly hopped on the dresser and shimmied behind the curtains so at the very least the other members of RWBY wouldn't notice where she was. She then made herself comfortable and began looking through the binoculars and sure enough she spotted the entirely of team SPHR making their way towards the showers with Skylar being the one too lead them towards their destination her cheeks growing pink, Yang continued to watch Skylar as they reached the shower building "Hello Sexy stud" she whispered, sweeping her gaze towards the boy's fight class shower room. After a few moments of waiting, Yang saw Paris and Skylar enter the room before going their separate ways, with Yang's gaze following the blacked haired hunk. He placed his cloths on a stool next to the showers and slowly began taking off his shirt. Yang would be lying if she wasn't about to drool at this point. The idea of seeing him like this was almost too much to bear and the heat crawled along her body. "wooooow" she whispered to herself "I cannot believe someone like him exists in this world. it just seemed too good to be true.
Skylar sighed, feeling the watered run down his body, enjoying the feeling for a little longer before he reached over to the valve and shut it off, the waterfall above him ceasing in its actions as he did so "I really have got to stop taking long showers" he muttered almost annoyed though he did enjoy the experience. Now all he needed to do was managed a way to get to his dorm without falling asleep. The water did almost nothing to wake him up from his rousing drowsiness at all. if anything it make it all the more worse!
Reaching out from behind the shower curtain, Skylar grabbed his underwear and pulled them on, before doing the same to the rest of his cloth. After getting dressed, the young man exited the showers, grabbing his other cloths as well, he would wash them in the morning, but for now he wanted to get to bed. The fat that there wasn't another shower running indicated that Paris had already left either that or he had one again tried to sneak his way into the girls shower room.
A sudden loud shriek alerted him to that very likely possibility. It was immediately followed by the sound of a door opening and two very familiar female voices screaming "Get the Hell out of here!" and a loud bang afterwards. Clearly the girls had found it best to just toss Paris out of the room in a very painful way and Skylar wasn't about to stop them since of course Paris was the one that had done it too himself and he wasn't going to learn unless someone showed him what happens when you don't obey the rules of give people their privacy at all.
The boy laughed not feeling at all sorry for his companion but he sure loved the idea of the girls getting their revenge on such an honor less individual "great job girls" he laughed loudly before exiting the room where sure enough he found Paris picking himself up off the floor and dusting himself off "Its like they don't want to be oogled by a great guy" he muttered to himself annoyed
"I think that if you keep disrespecting the girls like that, you'll never get anywhere with them." Skylar said with a slight smirk on his face gaining the other boy's attention. Paris's head snapped up and once he caught sight of his team leader. Paris shot him an angry glare "and who asked YOUR opinion?!" he snapped before turning and stomping away, clearly embarrassed about the ordeal Skylar watched the other boy leave before looking in the direction of the girls showers where no doubt Robin and Helen were trying to get dressed and forget about the whole ordeal with Paris. He would have a talk with them later about this. it was his duty as a team leader after all. Without another word, he left the room returning to his dorm. As he did so he swore he cold hear someone whispered arguing in the dorm next to his and pressed his ear on the door gently to listen, being sure not to make any noise while doing so.
Yang watched Skylar, almost completely entranced by him. She was lucky enough that she was able to see him at all while he was in the showers (though not enough to see everything unfortunately). She felt like she was getting more and more enamored by him by the second. Oh if only she could be on his team like she wanted to though to be fair team SPHR wouldn't have made much sense if a Y was thrown in their, but who cares the boy was almost everything she could every want in a man and yet the two wouldn't even be able to interact until after class tomorrow which was several hours away (which reminded Yang she should be getting to bed soon but alas she was just too distracted with her eye candy right now to even notice that at all, if she stared much longer shed probably end up skipping class entirely because she would graduate from drooling to a nose bleed) but to be fair it wasn't even midnight as of yet though it was getting close.
Alas her time as a peeping tom was coming to a close as soon she saw the water turn off and Skylar shift in the stall slightly, likely getting dressed. Causing the blonde bombshell to pout. She wanted to see more! She shifted slightly. With Skylar leaving the showers there wasn't much for her to do and she proceeded to turn to get off the shelf and hop onto her bed.
However what she failed to realize was that because of her long tenure sitting on the shelf her legs had fallen asleep therefore when she attempted to get on her bed by hopping onto it her body reacted the exact opposite way she wanted to. Instead of hopping on Her bed she fell backwards and head first into a sleeping Weiss.
Thankfully Yang landed on Weiss chest so when the sleeping girl shot up in bed all the air was yanked from her lungs, preventing her from screaming and waking up the other two girls.
Of course that didn't mean that being sat on or in this case fallen onto didn't indeed hurt.
So Weiss reacted to the pain like anyone else would. She shot up giving a very winded yelp of pain then proceeded to register the fact that her chest was bring invaded by a tangled mess of blonde hair from the only person in the room that had such hair.
Weiss's eyes widened and she stared at Yang's sheepish gaze for about a grad total of 10 seconds before her gaze went cold clearly annoyed at the prospect of having been woken up after only perhaps a few short hours which didn't feel like it when you spent the previous day in constant movement between fighting a pack of beowolves running from said pack of beowolves fining a nevermore to catch a ride on courtesy of an immature partner that decided she was in charge before she WAS actually in charge, falling from said nevermore whilst it was flying in midair then fighting it once it was angry at you.
In short Weis was not happy about being woken up and she chose that moment to make sure she was absolutely sure about it, her gaze making the rooms internal temperature drop several degrees as she spoke "YOU!" she whisper-shouted casing Yang to jump off the other girl, turning to her and sheepishly rubbing the back of her head with an embarrassed grin on her face. "Sorry Weiss I was just-" unfortunately the white hired girl didn't even bother to let the poor blonde finish her sentence, though Yang was certain that even if she had finished that sentence it wasn't any more likely the Weiss would accept Yang's apology.
"I don't care!" Weiss snapped "do you have any idea what time it is?" she continued seething with rage "we have only a few more hours of sleep until classes start tomorrow I I don't need to be woken up by a night owl who doesn't have the lightest sense of decency to other personal space." Ironically Weiss face actually grew redder the more she spoke clearly getting angrier by the second.
Of course Yang couldn't help herself to exploiting the situation in her own way. "Geez Weiss no need to get YANGRY! You look almost like a tomato with the face of yours." She whispered, cracking a huge grin while doing so.
Weiss's mouth dropped open the red draining from her face and she stared at Yang wide eyed before she gave a huff and laid back down rolling over so her back was facing the blonde. She had better thins to do then get caught up in an argument with her teammate at this hour or she would be up all night.
Yang stared at Weiss a moment surprised, but decided it wasn't worth pursing the argument and instead let out a yawn covering her mouth as she did so. Weiss had a point. It was getting late and despite her love for adventure. Yang needed beauty sleep too. So she turned to her bed and limed into it snuggling under the covers. Soon enough she was fast asleep dreaming of her soon to be lover.
The sun was just barely over the Horizon, lighting the sky up a brilliant shade of pink and orange the colors cascading over the city of Vale like a blanket as far as the eye could see. It was almost quite soothing even though it did little to roué he citizens of the city from their slumber given that it was oh so very early in the morning just yet. How many people wanted to be awake in the morning this early when they could be sleeping to the point of almost appearing dead.
Yet, strangely enough there WAS indeed one person awake at this early hour in the morning surprising even himself given with what had happened yesterday and how tired this individual felt afterwards yet his mind was sill swirling with what had happened yesterday and how odd it felt just thinking about it in retrospect, given what he knew about the grimm.
Indeed this person was none other than our well known hero and team leader Skylar. Lying in his comfortable cotton sheet temper pedic mattress bed unable to fall back to sleep after only slumbering for a few short hours. It was a very fitful time for him not even in sleep he could relax as his imagination still took him to the exact moment in time where absolutely nothing made sense.
He was a trained fighter having been such since he was young and living with his family, barely the best could fight him and he had spent even more time studying the grimm; the species the environments and especially how they acted around human and faunus kind and yet there was still something off about all of it. he just couldn't wrap his mind about it at all and he hadn't brought it up to his teammates either so he had no idea whether or not they felt as affected by it as he did; hell he hadn't even thought about asking the teachers their opinion t all before the team sorting had occurred, even if there was enough time to ask he doubted that they would have the answers either
So that just left him with the single question that had been plaguing every waking moment of this day. Just what had happened that had caused the grimm they fought yesterday to act the way it did?
The giant bourbatusk gazed at the quartet soon to be known as team SPHR its four eyes sharply deducing which of the four would be the best candidate to attack. Skylar held its gaze not showing any fear as did his team mates who all stood still as if they were in the gaze of a t rex, which acted upon movement; the slightest twitch and the grimm was certain to follow the direction of whomever moved unfortunately that sentiment definitely didn't last long as the hulking behemoth suddenly let out a bellowing snort and rolled into a ball barreling straight for the four young hunters
Acting quickly Skylar roared a warning to his teammates "Scatter!" he told them hastily zipping out of the way of the attacking pig like monster on rabbits feet the group managed to evade the monster who proceeded to roll straight into the mountain behind them.
Skylar however was still running, the grimm likely wasn't going to slow down from such a hit even if it was almost completely self inflicted with its heavily armored body so the battle definitely wasn't over not by a long shot. Since the grimm liked to attack with its tusks and roll around a lot this definitely wasn't going to be much of an easy fight. Hey would need to some how get the bourbatusk on its back or disable it some how. The issue with that idea was that the Grimm was massive compared to its brethren almost on par with that of the nevermore the group encountered earlier so getting it on its back was going to be a difficult task compared to the smaller counterpart.
Sure enough a moment later the mountain side began to rumble and the ground quake as with an explosion of rocks the giant behemoth emerged from its temporary dwelling and began racing towards the group once again, forcing them to at the very least run faster but Helen got the brilliant idea to turn right around and point her pistols at the attacking monster and fire several dust rounds at it. Naturally the attack did nothing each shot bouncing off of the rolling swine like paper balls to a brick wall. The young woman then dived out of the way narrowly avoiding being crushed by the bourbatusk, which continued speeding towards the remaining three teenagers. Paris quickly ran up a tree utilizing cleverly learned parkour skills that he had developed since youth, taking out an axe and converting it to an arrow, taking one from a quiver on his back and firing it towards the pig
Without warning a net suddenly sprung from the hooting arrow and with a direct it, trapped the pig under the heavy material. The bourbatusk squealed in annoyance but continued to try and escape the net.
Paris landed on the ground converting his weapon back into an axe and stowing it away, looking very smug and please with himself. Helen looked at him in awe completely enamored with is performance (though with that smug look on his face she still wanted to punch him in the gut if not lower)
Robin and Skylar stopped running as soon as they saw the pig trapped by Paris. It continued to struggle but the net held firm. "That wont hold him for long!" Skylar said worried "like Weiss said our objective is to return to our original location, I think it would be best if we continued with that plan. So long as we have the relics the Grim just serves as a distraction! Paris scoffed notching another arrow this time aiming at the grimms eye. "Yeah right! I can kill this thing with one shot!" he boasted, "Wait!" Robin cried but Paris had already released the arrow nailing the bourbatusk right in the eye. The beast bellowed in pain and fury, thrashing more violently I the net. Unfortunately this caused I to catch the net in its tusks shredding through it like paper as it manage t rip through the webbed cage.
Paris's grin fell as he watched the pig escape the trap "well now you've done it moron!" Helen yelled at Paris gibing him the glare of nightmares. Paris head snapped to look at his unfortunate partner "Maybe you'd like to try better your highness?!" he sneered at her menacingly. Helen simply readied her pistols, giving the arrogant man a confident smirk Try and keep up with me!" she said shooting at the the grimms head. It did little more than piss off the swine which roared again and began rolling towards the group again with even more ferocity
Skylar face palmed they were completely ignoring him, not to mention the grim was not the target here. Sure it was in the way in all but there were alternatives to fighting, but he also didn't want to seem like a coward. He looked to Robin who was giving him a look that told him she had a similar sentiment. She took out her dagger and pressed a button shifting it into a sniper rifle. "It doesn't have any armor on its stomach" she told him "If we distract it we can get it on its back, and you can deal the final blow." She said joining Paris and Helen in shooting at the beat.
Unfortunately Skylar knew that wasn't going to work. He ran towards the grim unsheathing his sword and Yelled "STOPPPPPP!"
Then there was silence. Everyone stopped shooting at the grimm astounded by the power in Skylar's voice, but even more astoundingly the grimm stopped rolling almost looking paralyzed as it stopped sat on its haunches looking almost domesticated showing its underside. This would have puzzled the young hunter but in the moment he just wanted to kill the grimm so that he and his teammates could get out of there without much of a hassle, he readied his sword and leapt at the grim piercing its rib cage and running the sword through its heart. The monster bellowed in agony as Skylar placed his feet on the grimm and pushed off of it pulling his sword out of the grimm's body doing a backflip and landing several feet away from the grimm. Looking up he saw the grimm look at him pleadingly as if telling him that it didn't want to die, before it fell to its side. The swine held the young boy's gaze a moment longer before its body faded into dust being carried by the wind.
After that Skylar couldn't help but think something was odd about what had happened killing a grimm like that shouldn't have been so easy nor should it have responded in such a manner so what had happened?
Never the less, it wasn't something he could dwell on. Turning over in his bed he saw that t was approaching 7:30; since classes were at nine in the morning he might want to start getting ready. Grabbing his cloths he made his way to the changing room, slipping into his uniform, which he had to admit looked rather nice on him "well this is it." he said with a smile as he thought about what lay ahead of him. The first class was going to be professor ports class then Glynda's among others. Honestly he was looking forward to meeting more of his classmates. Though he and his team got along rather well thus far (though Paris was going to have to work on his attitude a little bit since he seemed rather arrogant) he wanted to get to know the others more as well. After the initiation he had running to team CFVY one of the upper classman. They seemed pretty nice and one of them was even a faunus. Velvet Scarlantia who was a bunny faunus. Then there was team JNPR who seemed like an odd bunch as they all seemed to be exactly the opposite of one another. then of course there was Team RWBY the one he was most familiar with Yang was a bit of a flirt but he didn't mind it. it helped that she was quite the brawler and a beauty to boot, but he wanted to see what was beneath the mass of blonde hair aside from wht he had seen. Ruby was energetic which he could contribute to her age, which she might grow out of due to her role as a team leader while Weiss seemed a bit on the arrogant side not unlike Paris but Skylar couldn't help it was for different reasons. He also had to admit she was quite the beauty despite her reputation as an ice queen with a cold heart. Then there was Blake who was the quietest of the bunch. But never the less she was nice enough.
Skylar entered his room to see the rest of his team slowly getting up, Paris grumbling as he sat up in bed. Helen and Robin on the other hand stretched and yawned looking like they were about to head to the showers to put on make up. Skylar couldn't help but grin "GOOD MORNING TEAM SPHR" he proclaimed loudly. The trio jumped not expecting the loud voice and they all glared at him "Skylar!" Helen yelled "don't you know its rude to interrupt a girl when she is just waking up!"
Skylar just laughed
as always leave your thoughts and have a great day!
