9 Months to Live

Chapter 25ish: What is Love?

Disclaimer: SOMEBODY once told me I don't own the right to RWBY.

AN: Guys, I have to be real here. It's getting harder and harder for me to update this, and it pains me to say that it's getting harder to make these chapters. So I've linked this video I made to fully go into detail of why I will be going on hiatus, maybe forever on this fic, after this chapter. I insist that you check this link before reading, as it's absolutely vital that you check it out, as it gives insight to a lot of things.

Oscar stood, facing Lionheart, the clash of steel resonated within the hall as Salem's forces clashed with our heroes. The young farm boi glared at the cowardly traitor.

"You don't understand why I did what I did. You don't understand, the power she has, the utter

"You bring shame to all headmasters. I will beat you way Ozpin teached me, his signature method!"

"You don't mean-" Lionheart, his hands going towards his pocket.

"A children's card game! Loser gets their mind crushed!" Oscar yelled, pulling out his deck of duel monsters.

Jaune looked at Oscar and the headmaster, the two playing what looked like a children's card game, Lionheart using some sort of battle circle on his wrist. "Why do I suddenly want to talk in a brooklyn accent...nyeh." The man blinked. "Ren what do you think?"

"My voice gives me super strength!"Jaune blinked and looked at Ren, question the purple dinosaur like voice he just heard. "Ren, you okay buddy?"

"Yes. Why?" Ren came in his normal voice.

"No reason."

"Oscar…"

The former farmer looked to see the ghostly image of Ozpin standing beside him.

"Let me take control. I can beat Lionheart."

Oscar rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, you always get the spotlight. I feel like the sidekick!"

"That's cause you are."

"Well, talk like that, and I don't want to let use my body."

"I'll let you use my credit card latter."

"Deal!" Oscar said, as a glow of light surrounded him.

"SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME ULTRA SPECIAL SUPER SEXY TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE!"

The boy opened his eyes, revealing the golden glow of Ozpin's eyes, and Oscar's usual patched pants replaced with that of tight black leather pants. "Hello Leo"

The cowardly headmaster flinched at the familiar voice. "Ozpin?

"You literally did everything I told you not to do. Joined Salem, let the huntsmen under your command get killed, and became a giant pussy." Ozpin growled "For this, I will humiliate you in a children's card game! I summon the White Eyes Blue Wyvern in attack mode, and place a trap card face down!"

Lionheart looked at his cards. "Well done Ozpin, I see you haven't changed a bit despite being inside a little boy. However, you're predictable as always! I summon my Deadly Heretic in attack mode and go for your White Eyes!"

Ozpin grinned. "Just like I planned! You activated my trap card, The Spanish Inquisition! Your Heretic is sent to the graveyard, and you lose 500 health points!"

"What!? Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Lionheart screamed as his health count begin to drop.

Meanwhile, Weiss looked over from her deadly battle with that screaming oaf high on dust, the boot sniffer, and Emerald, to see that strange farm peasant playing a children's card game with the headmaster of Haven. "Um, guys, what on earth are the farmer and the Professor Lionheart doing?"

"They're playing a children's card game to decide the outcome of this battle." Jaune blinked "Why don't they fight like the rest of us? Why should the rest of us be risking our lives while those two get to play some cruddy card game?"Ruby turned her head, completely ignoring Emerald, who had her guns raised at her. "A cruddy card game? Weiss, the children's card game requires a level of expertise far beyond us children! They are playing a game that will determine the outcome of this fight."

Weiss looked back to the two duelists, then rolled up her sleeves."I'm just gonna summon my giant knight to kick that guy's ass."

Jaune looked at the Schnee in horror "Weiss, you can't do that! That's against the rules!"

Weiss glared at Jaune. "Screw the rules I have money." She grinned as the rune circle appeared behind Lionheart. "I summon my White Knight."

Lionheart had him on the ropes. One more turn and he'd have Ozpin's soul, and finally be free of Salem! "It's over Ozpin! HAHAHAHAHAHA-why'd it get so dark all of a sudden?" Lionheart question as he looked behind him to see he was standing in the shadow of a towering knight made of ice. "Well...shit."

"Time to put you on Ice!" Weiss quipped with poor delivery.

"Boo!" Ruby yelled.

"That sucked!" Nora yelled

"It needs work" Ren stated calmly.

Oscar let out a sigh "Ozpin's pretty tired, but he says… to go to Atlas next."

Weiss threw her hands "THAT'S IT! I FUCKING QUIT!"

"No Weiss! Why?" Ruby called out.

"I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THE VERY PLACE I TRIED SO HARD TO GET AWAY! I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN A PLANE WITH SOME ASSHOLE PIRATE, FOUGHT AGAINST GIANT BEES ONLY TO STILL GET SHOT OUT OF THE SKY, THEN KIDNAPED BY SOMEONE'S MOTHER" Weiss yelled, pointing at Yang."If it helps, I hate her just as much, if not more." She shrugged.

"No it doesn't thank you very much" Weiss continued on in her rant "But then, after my freedom, I find out that low and behold, my sister isn't in Haven, she left! And now I'm wrapped up into some crazy evil that our deceased headmaster, who's inside the body of some peasant farmer-"

"Hey!"

"-Is a reincarnated fairy tail character who gave 4 ladies ultimate power and thought nothing would go wrong, then it turns out, our host was a traitor, and because the dolt just had to let himself get toyed with by the lady who killed Pyrrha, because yeah, the best in our year got killed by her, surely the person who didn't even know what aura was 5 months ago would stand a chance!"

Jaune looked rather sheepish "Kinda dumb in hindsight. But hey, at least none of us died this time?"

Weiss's eyes flared "I got fucking impaled! Have you been impaled? IT FUCKING SUCKS! I saw my life flash before my eyes, and I regret everything! Years of my life spent being my dad's puppet, being the child of a loveless marriage where dear old mom turns to the bottle, while dad only pretends to care when there's a camera out! AND YOU WANT ME TO GO BACK!"

Blake spoke up "Weiss, sometimes you need to confront your past-"

Weiss turned on her heels to face the faunus "YOU! Well if it isn't the pot call kettle black! Do not talking me about the past! You talked so much about how you wanted to settle your past, with some crap about your ex boyfriend, who stabbed you and cut off Yang's arm! Then, rather than stick with the people who sacrificed themselves for your well being, you run away to your home! I was essentially kidnaped by my father, and I was able to make it here faster than you! Had you come sooner, rather than being a brooding adolescent, maybe I wouldn't have gotten impaled! When we first met, I accused the White Fang of being liars, thieves and murders. AND I WAS RIGHT. You've lied to us time after time, the chameleon girl you brought with you apparently stole from you, and your ex kills people!""

"Weiss, come on, I know you're still kinda mad and slightly dazed from blood loss after being impaled" Ruby chimed in, trying to defuse the angry Schnee.

"AND YOU!" at this point, you could see the smoke rising from Weiss's ears, her face flushed red with rage. "YOU! YOU!"

Yang let out a low whistle. "Wow. I think Weiss Cream's rage broke."

Mercury bolted as fast as he could, Hazel holding an unconscious Emerald as the the three where joined by that edgy faunus leader. Mercury looked at him. "Let me guess, you're plans didn't work out too?"

"NO!" He sniffed stubbornly.

"Really?"

"no…"

Hazel growled "This is lovely and all, but we need to get going. Especially since somebody decided to keep an arm."

Mercury pointed the robot hand at the giant. "Hey, Blondie just left it! You don't see me leaving my legs all over the place! So it's gonna be my new back scratcher!"

Adam meanwhile whistled nonchalantly, quickly putting two and two together on who just might own that robot arm.

Mercury turned, using the arm as a pointer, looking at Adam "So, what's your story Edgy the Faunus?"

"My name is Adam, you human scum!"

"Look, it looks like we're on the same boat here pal, so you might as well tell me how your end of the stick went horribly wrong."

Adam rolled his eyes behind his mask "Fine. I guess I can educate you humans…"

5 minutes later.

"I just don't get why she won't take me back!" Adam sobbed into Hazel's chest, getting snot all over his shirt.

"There, there buddy." Mercury said, patting his back. "Now tell me, when did you begin to start with this unusual behavior?""Well, I wanted her to notice me more, so I got this book to help me improve my relationship with her."

Mercury nodded. "And what was this book?"

Adam pulled something out his jacket "Here, I carry it around wherever I go, it's so full of helpful tips."

Mercury looked at the cover

How to train your Cat, Pet Owners Edition.

"Step One, show your authority, punish bad behavior, Adam, you do realize that-" Mercury paused for a minute till an idea hit him. "You know what, you just keep doing what you're doing. Go for it man."

Qrow held an bottle of booze as he hit the bar. He has not looking forward to going to Atlas. He had to see Jimmy, and god damn did he hate the military smug bastard. Seriously, that man had to be compensating for something with all his big solider toys Qrow mused to himself as he swirled his glass. Only bright side was he got to mess with Jimmy's top officer, Ice Queen Sr.

He was already thinking of how to announce his presence to her. Maybe turn into a bird, perch on her windowsill then scare the daylights out of her by shifting back. Or send that picture he took of her little sister when shot got impaled.

Oh god, that would be hilarious! Almost as funny as that time he pranked Raven and framed it on Tai! Not only was it funny to see his sister walking around with all her clothes dyed hot pink, but it was even better that he managed to dye her hair pink, which somehow even made her bird form the same color! And to get even, Raven had someone tattoo a pink middle finger on Tai's right asscheek. And to make it even better, they still don't know it was him behind it!

"Uncle Qrow, watch's doing?" Ruby asked as she skipped over to where Qrow was drinking.

The hunter let out a chuckle. "Oh, just thinking of how I might try some old tricks on an... acquaintance of mine."

"You're gonna prank Weiss's older sister aren't?"

"Oh maliciously."

"With the picture of her getting stabbed by Cinder?"

"I've taught you well."

Winter has having a rough day. With Ironwood piling more work on her with the recent tensions building in Atlas, the fact her sister was missing and her father just seemed to be crying crocodile tears to the media while mother drank herself to oblivion while her little shit of a brother was being such a perfect puppet she wouldn't be surprised to find Father's hand up his ass. But it was better, as she still managed to find peace for a few brief moments.

However, her attention was caught by a buzz from her scroll. Turning, she looked to see a message with a picture attached to it from a contact labeled Sexy Bird Daddy.

Winter gritted her teeth together, feeling her blood pressure rising. How on earth that brain dead alcoholic mess of a huntsmen ever got his grimy hands on her scroll, let alone into it to input his contact info was beyond her. However, Winter looked at the message.

Kiddo's having a blast! She had some trouble at first, but at least she didn't miss the point of coming here!

Winter raised a brow. "What does he mean by-OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!"

EDIT 4/2/2018: APRIL FOOLS MOTHERF*KERS! Ah, I would never just leave this incompleted. This story is my child, as I am it's irresponsible parent who it needs up raising me more than I raise it.
