Chapter 14...Next chapter there is a high chance we'll have the fight at the docks, thus closing the first volume of RWBY and moving on to other stuff. Now, to answer a question that might've popped up, I decided to start pre-writing my chapters. So, aside from the already posted chapter 11 which I posted shortly before starting to write this one, chapters 12 and 13 are also done.However, I decided on a little system. I will only post the next chapter once I have 3 chapters ready, including the one I intended to post. This will ensure that I always have something to post, and back-ups.Also, Roman and Neo might just get rid of Cinder by the volume's end. This will allow me more cannon-bending possibilities and new branches for the story. I once read a review telling me how most insert-OC fics just follow cannon. Well, I go off cannon. Quite a bit.Roman and Neo wanting to go straight - even if only to get rid of Cinder; Adam showing up earlier; The other OC;Well, it'll still follow cannon in some regards, but that is mostly so it still feels like RWBY. The good parts, not the bad.Anyway, without further adieu, let us begin.

Weekend. Oh, the blessed time of the week. Today was Saturday, one of the only 2 days allowed per week for rest, and Ash was using to take a little cat nap. Currently with his belly facing the mattress, with his glasses on the nightstand right to his bed wearing his pajama bottom with a black rose model.

He was snoring softly in his bed, dreaming away a peaceful, perfect day. Nothing could ruin this dream.

"Oh, Ashie~" he flinched a bit, hearing Melanie's voice ring in his ear. A nightmare, nothing more. Just a bad dream of the twins trying to tease him. Last time, while on their job, he got off easy since the job came first, for which he was grateful.

"I think he needs more, sister" Ah, Militia, the twin of Melanie. The red one to that. The one sporting claws as weapons. Sometimes he wondered who was the bigger sadist of the 2, but he always decided that both of them were just as bad.

"I agree" Melanie replied, then the sound of cloth getting moved around was heard. Ash ignored it all, twisting in his bed so his face pointed towards the wall. All that was just a dream - a nightmare. The Malachite Twins were likely away in Vale, far from him.

"You sneak in through the front, I will take the back" Melanie spoke again, making Ash relax. Definitely a dream about the heist at that time. Seriously, where do they plan to sneak - the feeling...The feeling changed around him. He felt softness behind him, and something similar to a marshmallow pressed against his back. And in front of him, having snuck under his arm, was an identical feeling, but the marshmallows were pressed against his chest. Warm softness ran over him and joined together, and his eyes were twitching.

Those girls...He raised his arm slowly, pointing for his glasses, which were given to him. He put them on, took a deep breath, then it began…

"Hey, Yang, did you see my -"

"GODDDDDSSSSS ABBBOOOVEEEEE!!!!" Ruby was interrupted rudely by Ash shouting from his room, getting the attention of all of Team RWBY.

"What on Remnant is he shouting for in the mourning?!" Weiss asked, having risen from her bed due to the shouting, clearly irked by it.

"No idea" Blake answered sleepily. This cat managed to sleep through that but not Weiss? Dust.

"Maybe he woke up with his sheets wet?" Yang asked, making Weiss scoff in disgust while Ruby tilted her head.

"What do you mean by wet?" She asked her older sister, who, after realizing the subject, quickly used her universal excuse.

"Grow up stuff, sister. grow up stuff"

In Team JNPR's room.

"What the hell's he screaming for?! Did someone break his legs?!" Nora asked shouting as well. Her sleep was interrupted by Ash as well, making her look especially...angry? It's hard to tell with her.

"Same question here…" Jaune got up slowly, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"Shouldn't we go check on him?" Pyrrha asked. "He might've gotten himself hurt."

"Hope not! I have to break his legs for waking me up!" Nora replied, jumping from her bed and going over to Ren. "Rennie! Wake up! We have legs to break!"

"Nora….please" Ren begged.

"No way! We need to get vengeance!"

"Look, calm down!" Jaune used his position as a leader for once. "Whatever his reason, I'm sure it is good"

"And if not?"

"Then we break legs, all of us, as a team"

"DEAL!" Nora bomb defused.

"No, no, no, no, no, noooooooooooo- nup. No!" Somehow, he has gotten out of the trap - from between the sandwich the twins tried to trap him in - and now he was ranting out, repeating the same word in different forms. All the while walking nervously through his room while the 2 half-naked twins sat on his bed.

"Is he going to keep going?" Melanie asked first, leaning back on her elbows on the bed.

"I think we might've broken him" Militia replied, laying on her stomach next to her sister with her feet dangling in the air.

Both in nothing but underwear. Ash kept his gaze up, thankfully, but that was not the issue here - those 2 do not care about modesty much, that's obvious. He'd have to call Junior or someone to help him sneak them out of - wait...How did they get into Beacon in the first place? Not like someone can just waltz in here, let alone inside the dorms so early in the morning. So how?

The answer cane in the form of a sound from the kitchen, getting Ash's attention. Neo was sitting at his table, eating his - BITCH, THAT'S HIS FAVORITE ICE-CREAM!

Ash inhaled sharply. "Neo...why?" The mute midget just shrugged, giving him a goofy grin. She did this just to mess with him. He groaned deeply, whining even. Why? Why did it have to happen on the weekend? He just wanted sleep.

"Oh, please, you enjoy this sight," Melanie said, putting her arms behind her head to tease him further. Tough luck, he closed his eyes. Advantage of his glasses; no one can tell when he closes his eyes. She quickly caught on to that and scoffed with a pout. "You're no fun anymore."

"But he is well made, sister" he shivered hearing Militia talk. True enough, they could still see him and he did sleep with only pants on. Looks like fate is punishing him.

"Hmm. Indeed" Why did she sound so slurry? Why did they sound like they were enjoying it?

"Hey, Ash, how about you drop that tough guy act and join us on the bed? We'll take good care of you" The boy got the cue, alright, and tried to hightail it through the door, but before he could open the door he heard an all too familiar voice.

"ASH AUBURN! IT'S LEG BREAKING TIME!" Nora...His shouting must've woke her up. Shit, that's exactly what he didn't need right now. He started to panic, turning to the twins who just looked at him with grins on their faces. Neo was, well, she dipped when he was not looking. Damn it.

"Looks like we will be getting company" Melanie noted, but she didn't seem to care in the least. An attitude shared by her sister.

"Gods above, smite me now!" Ash prayed, then heard his door open and several voices on the side. Acting out of instinct he spun around and kicked the door back shut.

"What the hell?!" Nora cried out, but other voices were present.

"Damn, looks like he REALLY doesn't want us in there" Yang was there as well...Oh no, does it mean that...Ash quickly ran to the door and peered through the keyhole, seeing all of Team RWBY and 3 members of Team JNPR, with Ren not being present.

"Crap…" He swore as he tried to think of what to do. If he let them in, and Yang, knowing she ran amok at their club, recognized the twins then he's fucked. Not to mention the teasing and puns will never end.

"Was that who I think it was?" Militia asked, her voice carrying a bit of bitterness.

"No way is that blonde bimbo here!" Melanie half-shouted. Oh no…

"Was that a girl's voice?!" Nora cried out from the other side of the door. "That's it, we're coming in!" Ash stood in front of the door until he was knocked back on the bed, between the twins, by Nora opening the door violently. Once she saw Ash in a bed with 2 cuties she went a bit red. "FORGIVE THE INTRUSION!"

"Hot damn! Someone's been busy!" Yang said as she began laughing. Jaune and Pyrrha both went red, Pyrrha at the obscene scene and Jaune at the half-naked girls on his bed.

"FILTH!" And there goes Ruby shouting as well, turning red and running off.

"Can't you do this elsewhere, you animal?!" Weiss shrieked out, red with embarrassment, but Blake just looked...intrigued? Don't tell me she was interested in the scene.

The only lucky note is that Yang didn't recognize the twins.

"Someone please end me…" Ash groaned as he gave up, falling limb on his bed and waiting for all of this to be over with.

"Someone, anyone, even Roman or Junior, please kill me right now…" Ash was praying in his head, trying to survive through this inferno. Yang didn't recognize the twins at once, but once the girls got their usual clothing on, that luck ran out. It took Weiss, Ruby, Blake, Pyrrha, Nora, Ash, and even Jaune and Ren had to step in to stop the impending catfight.

5 minutes later, the 3 girls decided to give up, but they have been glaring daggers at each other since. Now they were in an outdoor area at Beacon, but the tension was so thick one could slice it with a knife. Ash was sitting down at the base of a tree, knees buckled to his chest and groaning in dismay, waiting for the twins to leave. Said twins were also standing on either side of him, leaning on the tree. The 2 teams with them were all in different sitting or standing positions around them and had been enduring an awkward silence for a good while.

"So, Ash…" Yang was the one to break the silence, but Ash could easily tell she was more upset than anything. "Care to explain how you know Melania and Militia here? The Malachite Twins?"

"Got a problem with us knowing Ashie, blondie?" Militia snarked at her, making Yang instantly look at the red twin.

"What I have a problem with is the fact you 2 seem to have been taking advantage of him to pop your cherries!" She retaliated, but the twins didn't care much. They didn't even blush. Ash did pick faint traces of embarrassment, but they hid them well. "Oh wait, you already popped them because you cannot keep your legs shut, I forgot!"

"Hey, that's untrue!" Melanie shouted back and surprised Ash since he felt no lie in there. Those 2 were still untouched maidens? "Contrary to what anyone might think, I and my sister have never been with a man before"

"Until recently" Weiss sharply added, irking the twins. "We caught you in the act-"

"We were just teasing him!" Militia interrupted. "We've been doing it since we were little"

"Little?" Blake echoed. "Wait, so you knew Ash since before he came to Beacon? To Vale?"

"Yes, they do" Ash replied, finally stepping in to defend himself. He got up, then inhaled deeply. "Melanie and Militia are the nieces of a friend of my uncle's whom he does business with. They sometimes visited along with my uncle and that's how we know each other."

"Your uncle knows Junior?" Yang asked, to which Ash nodded. "Damn, Ashie, you got connections!"

"Still, there should be a limit between normal teasing and…"

"FILTH!" Ruby added, and Weiss, in a rare moment of agreement, pointed at her.

"To be fair, they don't seem like bad people," Jaune said, making Ash feel a shiver down his spine as the twins both gained a smirk each. Arc, you dense son of a bitch.

"Awww. That's so sweet of you to say" Militia said whilst walking to him, using a slurry and seductive tone. She slowly approached the blond, who was standing, and leaned onto him, making the Arc blush and take a step back. "This armor seems heavy. How about I help you take it off~"

"OK!" Pyrrha stepped in, a blush on her face, and pushed the 2 away. "Can you please not tease our leader?"

Was that anger and jealousy he just picked up from her?

Militia scoffed. "You are no fun, redhead"

"Still, Ash, I have to ask how exactly they got here out of curiosity." Ren brought up the question, starting right at Ash. "Beacon is not exactly a place one can come and go as they please. Plus, the Bullheads do not run this early in the morning."

"We used our ride to get here" Melanie answered, saving the Auburn. "We own a Bullhead - well, our uncle does, at least. But he lets us borrow it when he doesn't use it."

"I see. A private Bullhead" Ren summarized, then returned to his usual, quiet, and content self. Until Nora stepped in.

"HOWEVER! Although Ash might like sleeping with the top nude, you 2 looked like you were about to fuck him!"

"Nora, language!" Jaune shouted.

"But they were!"

"You don't need to point it out!"

"Can you all chill?" Ash half-shouted, trying to get a hold of the situation before it went bad. "Look, I didn't bed anyone, neither did those 2. Ok? They are just visiting, nothing more"

"Actually…" Militia started.

"We also came to check on a few things with Ashie here" Melanie continued.

"Things? What things?" Weiss asked, being somewhat suspicious of the twins. But then again, no one there par Ash trusted them.

"Business things, princess" Melanie replied. "That's all you're getting from me. So, Ash, a word?"

"Sure," Ash replied reluctantly. "I'll see ya all later guys"

"Take care!" Ruby replied as Ash and the twins took some distance. They walked over to the back of Beacon, where it was usually empty at this time of day. Ash scanned the area for any emotions while the 2 twins looked around.

"So…?"

"We came to check on your progress regarding the deal with Ozpin" Militia spoke, making Ash sigh. Of course, that's why they were here. "Did you talk with him already?"

"No. Believe it or not, not everyone can just see the Headmaster of Beacon whenever they so desire" Ash replied.

"Is he around?" Melanie asked.

"I don't know, maybe he is. It's the weekend, so I wouldn't have high hopes"

"High hopes for what, Mr. Auburn?" All 3 heads turned their gazes up at the first row of windows above, where a certain someone was leaning on a window with a cup of coffee in hand. "Imagine my surprise as well when I found you with 2 young ladies here, where it is usually quiet and deserted. Should I go and give you some privacy?"

"How in the - know what, never mind. Headmaster, I have some things I'd like to discuss. Here, if possible and right now" Ash said, to which Ozpin sipped from his cup before climbing on the window's frame and jumping down with ease among them.

"Damn, this old man's in shape" Militia noted, making Ozpin chuckle.

"You are too kind, Miss…" He looked at the 2 twins for a moment. "Excuse me, but are you perhaps students from other academies? Surely, I would've remembered a pair of twins such as yourselves."

"No, we are not" Melanie replied. "We are friends of Ash here"

"Ah, I see, I see" Ozpin sipped more coffee. "Well, what is it you wanted to talk about, Mr. Auburn?"

"Well, to be honest, it's a bit complicated-"

"Has it anything to do with you sneaking off a few nights to rob a few Dust stores with whom I assume were those 2 young ladies for, let's say, Roman Torchwick?"

"How do you-"

"Mr. Auburn, you have to try harder if you wish to sneak away from under my nose" Both Ash and the twins were taken aback by the older man's comment, but also that he was able to say it all with a straight face. "And before you ask: I didn't report you to the police because you piqued my interest. That, and I have no concrete proof, but mostly because you piqued my interest."

"Wait, so, like, you are aware who we are also?" Militia asked, being somewhat intimidated by Ozpin.

"The Malachite Twins. You girls usually work for Hei Xiong, also known as Junior. You are plenty known for extortion, use of violence and the list goes on"

"Shit…" the twins muttered in unison.

"So, do you happen to know what I want to ask also?" Ash asked, thinking Ozpin's semblance is something akin to reading minds at this point.

"No, I do not. That is what makes me curious" He replied, keeping up his usual behavior. Ash still couldn't pick up anything clear from him either - the guy was nearly a ghost.

"Ok...Where do I begin…"

Ash went on to explain everything to Ozpin. Everything about Adam Taurus being in Vale, the heist which was going to take place at the docs, Roman's deal, and even Blake's plan. He spilled the beans on everything he needed to, and Ozpin looked both intrigued and somewhat troubled by all that information.

"So, Roman Torchwick and his partner in crimes, Neopolitan, wish to go straight and are asking for my protection?" He chuckled. "That sounds like a good joke, Mr. Auburn, but I know it is not. Everything you told me truly sounds interesting, however, you know I cannot simply allow my students to attack a terrorist organization. That would be vigilantism. Need I say what that would force me to do?"

"Expel everyone" Ash answered, being aware of the consequences. Nothing about this was even remotely ok in the eyes of the law, and even Ozpin was on the hot chair by hiding what he knew.

"Indeed. However, I am willing to allow this little operation, as well as accept Roman Torchwick's deal, if you agree to a couple of my conditions. All 3 of you" Ozpin replied, grabbing everyone's attention. Why would he want the twins?

"Wait. What do you want with me and my sister?" Militia asked, to which Ozpin displayed a confident smirk.

"My conditions are that I receive Roman's scroll information here and now-"

"Alright"

"And those 2 ladies here join Beacon as students"

"Don- say what?" Ash stared at Ozpin for a bit.

"NO WAY!" Both twins shouted together.

"Oh? Pretty sure you wish for my help, am I wrong? This seems like a small price to pay, don't you agree?" Ash and the twins were being pressured by him. Damn, he was good. "Besides, I doubt Hei will complain about it as you girls will receive top-notch training and education. Who knows? After Beacon, you might also do a better job than before."

Ash and the twins thought about it, and Ash hoped they still denied the offer, or else he'll wake up with them on his head for 4 years without an end. Gods grant him strength. But as the twins talked to each other, they glanced back at Ash and giggled with some creepy grins.

"We accept, but expect us to modify our uniforms" Melanie replied to the message, at which moment Ash felt true despair wash over him.

"As long as it is nothing too scandalous," Ozpin replied. "Now, Roman's scroll information please."

"Ozpin...I hate you."

"To think the kid made the deal…" Roman muttered as he stood with Neo next to him with his scroll in hand. Ozpin was on the screen.

"I must say, I didn't see this coming. It is not every day you get to talk with one of Vale's most wanted, let alone discuss a deal to help them go straight" Ozpin said, fixing his glasses as they talked. Beside him was Glynda Goodwitch, who, from what Roman could tell, was pretty upset for some reason.

"Oh, shush you. Flattery won't work" Roman replied. "Now, let's talk about business. Are you sure you can guarantee my protection and whatnot?"

"If in exchange you offer us all information you hold and the location of the all stolen Dust. And one more thing besides that" Ozpin's eyes trailed themselves to Neo. "She's the same age as most of my first years, correct?"

Roman didn't need to be a genius to figure what he was on about, and Neo's neck immediately turned to them, giving them a nasty look. " Yes- OUCH!" The thief rubbed his head as Neo gave him the boot, literally.

Ozpin simply chuckled. "Well, as you might be aware, I will have to find both of you places at my Academy if I am to protect you, and Neo there can fill the student bill just fine"

Neo signed. "Ha! Good luck with that you grey-haired asshole!"

Ozpin raised an eyebrow and signed back. "Now, that was just rude and uncalled for"

"You know sign language?!" Roman asked in a bit of surprise, Nei being just as surprised.

"I do. And you needn't worry, I am not offended" Roman sighed.

"Anyway, what do you say Neo? 4 years in that place sure does sound better than being lackeys to you know who" Oh yeah, he was not pleased. But he was desperate enough. Neo crossed her arms over her chest and looked away from them. Unfortunately for her, Roman knew just what to do here. "I will buy you that Neopolitan-banana-whipped-cream ice-cream combo if you agree."

Never in her life has she nodded so hard.

"Marvelous. I already got the consent of the Malachite Twins as well" Neo began to sign again.

"Mel and Mil are coming too? How did you convince those girls to join?"

"It was quite easy. Unlike this situation, where bribery was needed, they were more...wise?" Ozpin said, but he dismissed that train of thought. "Anyway, I take it she has no family name, correct?"

"Not really. I picked her from the streets" Roman said. "Why you ask?"

"For the paperwork, Mr. Torchwick"

"Oh, I see. Well…"

Neo sighed, then started to wave her hands. "Just put me as Neo Politan. Split my name in 2"

"Very well. I will be waiting for you, Miss Politan, to join us over at Beacon. Other than that, I inform you that everything you have planned with Ash Auburn and Blake Belladonna can still be done. However, I require that you do not harm my students or anyone from our side"

"I might need to put up an act until we can reveal our little betrayal, so I cannot make promises" Ozpin smiled.

"Very well. Good day, Mr. Torchwick." Ozpin closed his scroll, leaving Roman and Neo to think about what they were to do further.

"You cannot be serious, Ozpin!" Glynda shouted as she smacked her hands on his desk, a furious red on her face as she glared at him. But he didn't seem to react, merely standing with his eyes closed as leaning on his chair.

"Tell me, Glynda, how does Team AMMP ( Amped) sound?" He asked, making her raise her hands and rub the bridge of her nose in frustration. She then took a tablet, bringing up a set of peculiar files.

The criminal records of the twins and Neo. "Do you even see this, Ozpin? Those girls are criminals and deserve to be arrested. We also know for a fact Mister Auburn is working with them and has deep connections with Roman Torchwick - who, might I add, you just invited into Beacon!"

"Glynda, please, calm yourself. Everything will be alright"

"Do not tell me to calm down, Ozpin." She replied with aggressivity in her voice. "You have done a lot of crazy decisions over the years. Some you came to be proud of, but others you came to deeply regret. But this? This has to be very high on that list, and I am willing to bet it will even be one you will regret"

"I might've made mistakes in the past, Glynda, but granting those 3 girls and Roman a second chance doesn't seem like one." He countered, reaching for his cup. But she quickly covered it with her hand.

"You said it yourself; you've more mistaken than any man, woman, or child together, Ozpin. How can you be so sure this won't turn into one of them?"

Ozpin sighed, then he placed his chin atop his hands, staring right at her. Glynda felt a slight pressure, making her return to her formal position. "Glynda, know that while I do make mistakes, I am only human. There is just so much I can do after all. But what I cannot do, I can with the help of others. That is why you, James, Qrow, Lionhart, and others know about the Maidens, about the Relics, and about her"

"Of course" She replied. "But how can you be certain this is not some ploy to sneak into Beacon and destroy us from within? They are not exactly trustworthy individuals"

"Which is why, Glynda, I will have my eyes on them. Although I can already tell that Roman was, for all his credibility, acting pretty strange during our call."

"So you are not changing your mind?"

"Why, I already named the team, had I not?"

Shorter chapter than usual, I know, but most things at this point are preparation for the big doc fight. Also, about saying there won't be a team for Ash and all that...Wellllllll.That was before I remembered about the twins and whatnot. The idea slowly grew on me over time, and here we are; Team AMMP (Amped) shall be coming into play soon enough. Their members are, in order of name:Ash AuburnMelanie MalachiteMilitia MalachiteNeo PolitanIt might sound pleasant to be in a team of 4 with 3 girls, but believe me, it'll be hell for our glasses-wearing boy.Remember to review and whatnot, they help.
