Up at Beacon Tower in Ozpin office, Ozpin is sitting at his desk rubbing his eyes and sighing as General Ironwood and Glynda are arguing in front of him about what happened last night
"They were here!" Ironwood shouted. "They were here Ozpin!"
"We are very much aware of that." Glynda said to him rolling her eyes "Thank you James."
"Great! You're aware! Now are we going to do something about it or should we just stay the course and ignore what's right in front of us!?"
Just then a notification came on Ozpin desk "Come in." Out from his elevator door is Daven
"Hey! Sorry it took so long." He apologize walking out "Someone pressed all the buttons on the elevator on the way up….Okay it was me." He admits
"Thank you for coming Daven," Ozpin said to him "how are you feeling?"
"Peachy i guess?" He answers "I just wished that didn't happen after I sang hehe"
"…."
"…."
"…."
"Okay…I can sense the tone were going here for..neat." Daven said rubbing his arm
"Daven, I feel it's appropriate to let you know that I think what you did last night is exactly what being a Huntsmen is all about." Ironwood applauded him placing a hand on his shoulder "You saw a saw threat, you took action and you did the best you could."
"Thank you sir."
"Now the General here has already informed us of the events that….transpired last night." Ozpin said "But now you've rested we were all wondering if you had anything to add to help solve this"
"Was anyone else with her? Did she look familiar to you? Did she said anything to you? Glynda asks
"She was alone" he answers "I...*Sigh* "I couldn't recognize her at the mask she was wearing, she fought with glass though but I don't think that was her semblance, her clothes lit when she summoned a pair of swords and attacked...And the only thing she said to me was 'I keep making her want more of me'"
"More of you?"
"Yes he nodded "before she….look that part is not important"
"Mr Sirius even the smallest detail can help." Ozpin said "This is an important matter for the safety of the School maybe even Vale"
Daven blankly stared at him "Do I have to say it Seriously? It really not important"
"Daven." Glynda narrow her eyes at him scaring him
"Okay okay! But i don't think you'll believe me anyway. After she said 'I keep making more of me' she….kissed me."
…
"Huh?"
"Say again?"
"She did what?"
"Kissed me or made out with me." He said blushing before shaking his head "Look i said it but that doesn't matter...the main question were all asking is who was that girl and why she break into the CCT. Her clothes lit up that could help finding out who it was."
"Embedding dust into clothing is an age-old technique." Ironwood explained "It could've been anyone"
"Okay what about her eye I saw it lit up too." Daven added earning a surprised look from them
Ozpin raised a brow "Her eye lit up you say?"
"Yes, I never seen someone eye lit up before it's something out of the comics i read." Daven said placing a hand to his chin "Wait this is just theory of mine…. is it possible that girl is somehow related to Torchwick and The White Fang?"
The three adults stared at him " It's possible" Ozpin answers"...but we lack evidence to the put the links together"
Daven raised a brow before he made a small smile"Wait...I just remember something before she...you know...I overheard her saying something about a base…. somewhere outside of Vale in the South East"
Ozpin smiled at him "Interesting"
"I thought you said the only thing the sai-"
"Thank you for your cooperation Daven." Ozpin said "Why don't you go and spend some time with your team. You have a big day ahead of you."
Daven nodded as he turns around towards back to the elevator. "No problem"
"And Mr Sirius, ...please try and be discreet about this matter"
"I'll try Ozpin but no promises" And with that left the office
Daven made his way back to his team dorm his mind is still a bit overwhelmed and comprehending what happen last night to think the intruder would kiss him he feels a little violated that was his first kiss on the lips and it was stotlen!...but it did felt kinda nice at least but why she did it? Shaking his head he reached to his door to his dorm room and just as he opens it his teammates rushed at him with questions "What happened!?"
"Umm...well you see i..."
Back in Ozpin office
"Well he certainly has Sarah wits." Ironwood said looking out the window
"I'm more concern now for Daven." Glynda said sounding worried for him " the intruder said they want him….. Do you think they know what he is now and he said her eye lit could it be..."
"If they're who we might we think it is...we may another thing to be worried about… and we'll keep a closer eye on him." Ozpin answers
Ironwood sighed when he said it. "Why you haven't told him what he is yet?...if he knows what he now then he can-"
"Sarah told me when the time is right" Ozpin interrupted" ...and this isn't the right time to tell him yet. "He is not ready despite being able to control his powers he still a child"
Ironwood just stood there. "Well, the information he provided us is what we need to put end to this problem. I'll send as many troops i can to the Southeast,find out what's going on, and eradicate any forces that stand in our way." he said making Glynda grits her teeth at him
"Why must your answer to everything involves a triumphant display of military bravado!?" Glynda shouted at him. "You treat every situation like it's a contest of measure d-"
"Glynda!" Ozpin stopped her before she can finish
"Well it's true."
Ozpin looks at the General "But she's right,as much as I too would love to end this situation once and for all, we need to remember that this may go beyond Vale, beyond Beacon. And if this truly is part of some master plan for which we know not the final move, we must not be so bold or haste, it'll spread panic among the people"
Ironwood grits his teeth and turns his head to him. "I have served you faithfully for years...but if you mean to tell me that your plan is to really just hold our defenses and wai-"
"It is not!" Ozpin interrupted jumping from his chair "You're a General, James, before you go to war, do send in the flag bearers or the scouts?"
Back with our favorite team Daven told them everything except for the kissing thing
"That was risky." Weiss said crossing her arm
"No...I think you handle it pretty well" Blake assure him
"You think so?...I pretty much winged it there." Daven said shrugged before noticing something in Yangs hand. "What's that you got?"
"Oh Me and Ruby got something from our dad.' She answers holding up a metal tub package
"Oooh something from home!" Ruby cheered as she clings to her sister eager to know what is its
Yang shook the package and popping out from it, a black tube drop to the ground, it slowly began fidgeting until it pops to its true form. The five look down at its adorable corgi dog
*Bark!*
"Eh!?"
Daven, Weiss, and Blake jumped back surprised at what it is but Ruby and Yang cheered at what they see it's their pet dog Zwei!
"He sent a dog?!" Blake shouted
"Through the mail?!"
"I'm curious how can you do that?"
"Oh he does stuff like this all the time." Yang explains as Zwei licked at Ruby's face
"Your father or your dog?" Blake asks as she jumps onto Ruby's bed
Weiss looks at Zwei. "Are you telling me that this mangy mute...is going to wive with us forevah? Oh yes he is yes is he!" She said in a cute voice rubbing his head "Oh look so adorable!"
"Please keep it away from my stuff." Blake comments
Just then the intercom came on calling all first year students to come to the jumps out of Ruby's hand circling around Blake
"Well, we can't just leave him while we're gone for a week." Weiss points out
"Hey there's a letter too." Yang cleared her throat "Dear girls, I've got to leave the island for a few days. So I'm sending Zwei to you to take care of. Enclosed is all the food you should need for him. Love you both." Taiyang She flips over the tub and out comes a lot of can dog food landing on Zwei he pops his head out from the pile.
"How's he gonna open those?" Just as Daven asks a can opener fall out landing on Zwei head
"Well that settles it." Yang said as she exits the room "Come on everyone, Zwei will be here when we get back."
"Oh, I'll miss you so much we're going to be best friends I can wait to see you again." Weiss cutely said rubbing Zwei head as she and Blake left the room. Zwei looked back at Daven and Ruby
"Never thought I see Weiss like that." Daven said with a deadpan face before noticed the look on her Ruby face she has something planned "Ruby what are you thinking?"
...
...
...
"Are we really doing this Ruby?" Daven asks waving his head as he and Ruby enters the Amphitheater
"Yes, we are!" She answers walking ahead having a backpack on.
Ruby sets her bag down as she and Daven stood next to their teammates
"Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin." Glynda announced
Ozpin walked up to the mic and cleared his throat. "Today we stand together, united. Mistral, Atlas, Vacuo, and Vale. The four kingdoms of Remnant on this day nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom even. But about the very idea of individualism itself."
"We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression and as you all are well aware that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself. Color."
"It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither would the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity. Through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it."
"As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsmen or Huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the kingdom for days, others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you take, remember to be safe, your training, and to do your very best."
Everyone clapped as all walk to the mission board to select what mission they want to part take
"This is perfect." Ruby fist pumping in the air. "All we have to do is shadow a huntsman working in the southeast"
"Yeah!" Yang cheered "We'll follow them around by day and give them the slip at night."
"Let's check 'Search and Destroy'" Weiss suggested.
The five made way to the mission board
"Here we go." Ruby points at the board "Quadrant 5 needs Grimm clearing"
"Well it's in the Southeast"
"Sounds perfect."
Ruby enters her team initials but it declined for first years students
"Wonderful." The Ice Queen said rolling her eyes.
"Any other ideas." Blake asks
"We mail ourselves there!" Ruby suggested
"If we are I call dibs on the cardboard box" Daven comments
"Well that's one option." Ozpin spoke up getting the team's attention. "Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was a bit tad...extreme for first year students." He explained. "It seems that particular region is rather popular."
"In fact I have the sneaking suspicion that the five of you will make your way there no matter which mission you choose." He said as Weiss, Blake and Yang looks over at Daven and Ruby looking all innocent
"Why you say that Ozpin?" They both ask
Ozpin smiled a little "I'm still curious as to how you all found yourselves at the docks last semesters. I'm interested to know how you really learned about a 'hideout' in the southeast, And I certainly wonder why eyewitness reported seeing giant robots, flashing purple lights, and rose petals in a dance club some time ago"
Daven and Ruby grinned. "Uhhh well..uh-"
Ozpin just chuckled "I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm seeking. So how bout this. Instead of waiting for you all to break the rules, why don't we bend them a little." He types on his scroll on board Team RWBYS has accepted the mission they want as they all smiled
"We won't fail you." Ruby said to him. "Thank you Professor"
"Don't thank me for this." Ozpin said sounding a little serious. "Teamwork and persistence have carried you far, but you must understand, the things that await you beyond the walls of the King will not care. Stay close to your huntsmen at all time, do exactly as he says, he'll be leading you on this mission but if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory he can have you all sent back here to Beacon." And with those last words of 'encouragement', he left" …..And Good luck by the way"
"That wasn't very uplifting." Yang frowned as all of them exits the Amphitheater
"Well Ozpin has been always like that" Daven explains
"But it was the truth." Blake said
"It's gonna be tough but I know we can do it." Ruby assure
They all walked around until they all notice Team CFVY who has finally return from there mission.
"Velvet." Blake called getting the bunny girls attention "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" she answers "I had Yatsuhashi to look out for me"
"Your mission was supposed to end a week ago." Weiss said sounding worried "What happened?"
"N-not happened there were so many." Velvet said making them look worried at the sound of that. "Oh but don't worry you, first year are shadowing a huntsmen so you should be all fine" she assured them
"Riiight." Yang said nodding her head
"I should go. Be safe okay." And with she waved bye and left
"We can do this." Ruby spoke up sounding serious. "We've never backed down before and we're not going to start now. And besides it won't be just us out there. We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsmen!"
"I'm curious who are we shadowing?" Weiss asks
…
…
...
"You gotta be kidding me right?" Daven asks as the rest of his teammates couldn't believe it who is it.
"Why hello students! Who's ready to fight for their lives!" The voice of the hyperactive coffee lover Doctor Oobleck is the Huntsmen there shadowing for a week not who they expected.
"Professor Oobleck?" Weiss surprised at who it is
"Yes." He answers as he walks back and forth in front of them. "I'm afraid those bags won't be necessary students. Seeing as you've opted to shadow a Huntsmen on what is now an essentially a recon mission! I can assure you we will not be establishing a single base of operations, rather we will be traversing several miles of hazardous wasteland! I've packed all our essential needs myself, provided the air course and readied the airship! Oobleck looks at Weiss. "And...It's Doctor Oobleck. I didn't earn my PhD for fun thank you very much. Come now children, He looks at his watch "According to my schedule we are already 3 minutes behind...schedule!" And with that he quickly zoomed to the airships at the landing bay
"Well alright then looks like we're going to save the world with, Doctor Oo..bleck okay it sounds worse out loud." Ruby said as all of them waving their heads
"Save the world!? "The voice of Nora getting there attention behind them "You're going on world-saving missions without us?! I'm hurt! Sad!...and little hungry too. That last one's not my fault, though, Ren!" She pouted at him as Ren turns his head away from her crossing his arm
"Sound exciting. Where are ya going?" Jaune asks
"Just out the kingdom for a recon mission"
"Hey so are we!" Nora cheered "except it's not recon"
"Ren and Nora wanted to shadow the sheriff of a nearby village." Pyrrha answers "We set out tomorrow."
"Then you can hang with us tonight." Neptune and Sun jumped in their conversations. "We're shadowing a crime specialist. All inner detective stuff and we get junior badges too!"
"Normally we go to city with you guys, which means stuff always exploding and stuff." Sun points out. "So we thought this might be a better way to you know check out city when it's….'normal'"
"That's not kind of-"
"Four minutes ladies and gentlemen!" Oobleck interrupted shouting from the airship. Everyone awkwardly smiled at each other
"Well then...wish us luck." And with that, it's time for Team RWBYS first official mission to begin!
...
...
...
"I guess I just never saw you as much of a fighter." Yang said to Oobleck as they make way to their LZ
"I'll admit i fancy myself more of an... intellectual individual" He repiles "but I can assure you, as a Huntsmen i seen my fair share of tussels."
"The mushroom?" Ruby asks
"Those are truffles." Blake answers
"The sprout?" Ruby asks again
"Those are Brussels." Yang answers
"Beside, given my expertise in the field of history, as well as my dabbles in the art of archaeological surveys, our dear headmaster saw it fit to assign me to his particular, assignment."
"Why does history have to do with this?" Weiss asks
"What a preposterous question you silly girl! Why history is the backbone of our very society and liver too! Oobleck shouted. "And probably the kidney if i were to wager them
"Meaning?"
"The southeast Quadrant outside of Vale is home to wild forest and deep caves. But it is also the location to one of the kingdoms greatest failures"
"Mountain Glenn." Yang spoke up. "THat's right it was an expansion of Vale but in the end it was overrun by Grimm and fenced off from the rest of the city"
"Correct! And now it stands abandoned and dark reminder."
"And also a perfect place to set up a hideout." Blake points out
Oobleck smiled as he pushes up his glasses "Precisely!"
They airship slowly descend down to their LZ, All of them jump out Team RWBYS with their weapons drawn expect for Oobleck who's sipping out of his portable coffee mug. The city as they all expected is rundown and partly finished nothing but just the wind blowing
"And queue the ominous music." Daven comments
"Children" Oobleck spoke up" You still may be students, but as of this your first mission as a huntress and Huntsmen and Huntress begins! From this point forward you need to do exactly as I say. Do you understand?" He asks as they all nodded yes before he noticed Ruby having a backpack on.
"Ruby!" He shouted scaring her "I thought I you to leave all your bags back at school.
"But...uh you hadn't told us to listen to you yet ...so I didn't "she answers as Weiss facepalmed, Blake rolling her eyes, And Yang and Daven chuckled
"She's not wrong. "He surprisingly agrees "Very well Ruby leave your bag here, we'll pick it up upon our return"
"But I-"
"Young lady what do you possibly have in that bag that could be so important for you to bring it-" Just then Zwei pops his head out as Ruby and Daven eyes widen they've been caught!
"Get back in the bag." She whispers as Daven gently puts Zwei back in
*Bark!*
Oobleck stared at her. "We're here to investigate an abandoned urban jungle teeming with death and hostility….and you brought... a dog?"
"It was my fau-"
"Genius!"
"Huh?"
Oobleck pulled out Zwei from her bag holding him up in the air circling around. "Canines are historically known for their perceptive nose and heightened senses of sound. Making them excellent companions for hunts such as ours!"
"Yeah…. I can work with that." Daven shrugging his shoulder
"I'm a genius." Ruby sounding proud as the other three members stare at them
"So what now doctor?" Blake asks
"Ah! Yes Straight to the chase, I like it!" Oobleck drop Zwei. "As you've been informed the southeast area has been marked as a recent hotspot for Grimm activity. Now there are several possible explanations for this behavior...One of which being, 'Grimm'"
"You mean the creature that always wants to kill us…. or metaphorical?"Daven asks as the rest were a little confused
Grimm, a creature of Grimm approximately 100 yards from us at this very moment. He answers making them quickly turn around to see a lone beowolf wandering the streets." Team RWBYS get their weapons ready"
"Stop." Oobleck spoke up. "There are a number of reasons why Grimm would congregate in this particular area. The most likely of which would be their attraction to negativity. Sadness, envy loneliness, hatred all qualities that are likely held by our hidden group harboring ill intent." He explains
"So, What do we do now?" Ruby asks
"We wait, we track," He answers "If the specimen lead us to its pack, and that pack may subsequently lead us to our prey"
"How long do we wait?"
"It's uncertain," Oobleck place a hand to his chin. "Hours, days, week, why lone Grimm have been known to stand isolated from their pack even mon- and there's the whole pack there." The group turns around to see more Beowolfs entering the streets
"What?"
"And they've seen us."
"What?!"
"AND NOW THEY'VE SEEN US!"
"Sooo tracking is out of the question." Ruby asks
"An accurate assumption yes." He nodded as they all seen the pack of Grimm rushing to them. Team RWBYS looks at Oobleck for what to do next "Show me what you're capable of." With the go ahead Team RWBYS gets ready to fight everyone dispersed
Daven jumps over a fallen pillar landing on top a beowolf stabbing it head with Lightbringer. He then sees a small pack of Grimm charging at him he quickly summons his fiery-orange orb to summon his golden gun and fired 3 shots annihilated the pack as all turn to ash and fade away
Yang dashes at one going for her and shotgun punches right in its face and went off to find more
Blake nearby standing as one charges at her but as it got close she used her shadow clone and jumps in slashing down cut the beowolf into two. She quickly dashes at another taking it down not before she jumps in the air again slamming Gambol Shroud at one's necks
Weiss running being chased by a few she dash attack one in her way as she quickly turns and charges at the pack chasing her taking them all out.
Ruby rapidly fired Crescent Rose at pack going for her as Zwei happily runs are in circles! She pulled out her scythe from the ground and sniper boost at the last beowolf and cutting in half
"Hmph, piece of cake." Ruby said with a smug look.
"Do not celebrate yet, for I am certain this is the first bout of many." Oobleck said. "Shall we continue!"
Throughout the whole day Team RWBYS has been eliminating Grimm festering in the abandoned city. Doctor Oobleck not even helping he just stand there, watching them, and examining the fallen ruins of the city
"Excellent work girls and boy." He appalled them before taking another big sip. "Unfortunately, there doesn't to by any signs of criminal operation in this sector. Oh well, moving on!" He shouted walking ahead. Ruby and Daven went to follow him as Weiss, Blake, and Yang were a bit annoy that their Huntsmen there shadowing isn't doing anything
"Hey doc," Yang spoke up "You know I was actually looking forward to seeing a pro Huntsmen in fighting or at least help us fight?"
"Ah but I am in action!," Oobleck answers "Scouring the ruins of this once great city for any signs of irregularity. Not every mission is filled with daring and heroism children. Sometimes it's just a heightened form of extermination." He explains. "Remember, this is a job, that you all signed up for. I do hope you understand that."
"Well yeah..O-of course!" She shouted earning an intrigued look from the Doctor.
After a few more Grimm slaying Doctor Oobleck went up to Yang for a question. "Tell me Yang why you chose this line work?"
His question surprise her. "Huh...well to slay monster and sav-"
"Nono that's what you do" He interrupted. "I want to know why you do it. The honest reason as to why you want to be a Huntress."
"The honest reason?..." Yang looks down at her feet before looking back to the doctor with her answer "I'm a thrill seeker. I wanna travel around the world and get wrapped up in as many crazy adventures as I can. And if I help people along the way then that's even better...It's a win-win you know?"
"Hmm, I see...then what's your thoughts on Mr Sirius?" His asks another surprising question "Having a fifth member on the team and being the only one having a fifth member of the entire school can be quite troublesome"
"No not really" Yangs answers "All of us welcomed him when he didn't have a team to join Daven...he's..he's fun to have around." She proudly said. He's strong and his smile is something I'll never get tired of seeing"
Oobleck raised a brow at her answer went off to Weiss with the same questions. "And you Miss Schnee, a girl born into fame and fortune such as yourself, certainly doesn't need the extra work. So why choose this over a cushy job in Atlas?"
"It's exactly as you said, I'm a Schnee." Weiss answers after stabbing a Grimm before looking at the Doctor who's sitting on a window frame. "I have a legacy of honor to uphold. Once I realized I was capable of fighting, there was no longer a question of what I want to do with my life...It was my duty."
"Interesting and what are your thoughts on Sir Daven? He asks "A young man with a unique semblance such as his to create powerful and colorful weapons that can even rival the Schnee Semblances in a way"
"At first when we met I didn't think much about him rather I thought he was a childish person at first...well he is still now but that's him" She answers before getting to her point "but after seeing his semblance at how powerful it is, it showed me I still have a long way to go with my family's semblance as well….after while he began helping me with it and I slowly grew fond of him." She finished with small blushes on her cheek
"What about you Blake?" Oobleck asks her as she just finished shooting little Nevermore from the sky You seem to carry yourself with a sense of purpose
"There's too much wrong in this world to just stand by and do nothing." She answers "Inequality, corruption, someone has to stop it."
"Very well..how then?" He asks her but Blake suddenly didn't have answers for that. "Hmmm...then answers me this, give me your honest opinions on Mr. Sirius." He asks changing the subject
Blake was glad he change subjects "Daven?...he's like a light." She answers "There's no other way to explain it I went up to him for help without knowing why when I was in trouble and I'm grateful for that."
Oobleck interested at her answers and went off to the next person he found Ruby playing with Zwei holding up a fully cooked chicken with Crescent Rose as Daven laughs at them. They both quickly stopped when they saw Oobleck staring at him
"Oh Sorry! Are we ready to keep going." Ruby asks him
"He just continues staring at the "No I believe that'll have to do for today. It's going to be dark soon" he answer looking at the sky be tosses his bag to "Yang. You three, set up camp in that building..and be sure there are no more of those..creatures. Your leader, and other team member and I are going to secure the perimeter. Come now Ruby and Daven"
Both Ruby and Daven follow Doctor Oobleck around the next corner they can hear the roar of a Grimm in the distance and what they see was majestic, a herd of Grimm Goliath Elephants walking outside of the ruin city they looked at them with awe in their eyes
"Now that's something you don't see every day." Daven said amazed
"Let's kill it!" Ruby shouted pumping out Crescent Rose
"I think you'll just make it mad."
"He's right" Ruby Oobleck agrees with Daven " Your sniper will just agitate a Grimm that size."
"But what if attacks us?"
"Worry not Ruby those Goliaths are not concerned with us." He assures her as the three look at the herd moving about. "Ruby, not every Grimm is mindless or rather not every Grimm is still mindless. You see the Grimm you see before you are so powerful, so superior to Grimm you fought, that without a doubt lived hundreds of years. And in that time between killing humans, and attacking our borders, they've done one important thing, they've learned. They've learned that when they attack our borders they're likely to die. And what we lack in strength we make up for in will. And killing one human will only bring more"
"Then, why are they still so close to the city?" Ruby asks "What are they doing?"
"Waiting" Oobleck answers before he turns around walking away
"Doctor Oobleck" Ruby getting his attention "A-actually, i was wondering..-"
"Wondering why I've been interrogating your teammates all day." Oobleck interrupted
"Wait, you we're going to interrogate me next?" Daven comments
"No, I was wondering why did you want to become a Huntsmen?" Ruby asks
"Hmmm, Ruby look around and tell me what you see."
Ruby did look around "Umm lot's of old crumbling building...empty streets"
"I see lives that could've saved." He answers. "As a Huntsmen, it's my job to protect the people and although I am capable of doing it with traditional weaponry, I believe I can make a bigger impact if I do it with my mind. As a teacher, I'm able to take knowledge, the most powerful weapon of them all, and place it into the hands of every student that passes through my classroom. "He looks around the ruined city. "I look at this wasteland and I see lives that could've saved but I also see an opportunity, an opportunity to study these ruins and learn from this tragedy. And therefore become stronger"
"So we can learn and get stronger not only from our own mistakes but from others as well?" Daven asks
"Correct you are Daven." Oobleck applauds him "I chose to become a Huntsmen because there's nothing in else world I would rather be. Ruby you can go on ahead back to camp. Daven and I will continue to secure the area for a bit"
"Yes sir!" Ruby saluted and went back to their camp as Zwei follows her
After walking around Oobleck spoke up with his questions to him but this time it was a little different from the others "Daven... Did you choose to be a Huntsmen or did someone chose it for you?"
His question took Daven by surprise "Huh?...No no one chose it for me." He answers "I always wanted to be Huntsmen and this is for my mom's last wish as well"
The Doctor was intrigued by his answer "Hmmm your mother last wish and she believed that you'll be a Huntsmen for her and here you are now, that's admiral …..But what if the situation was diffrent..what if she was wrong and you didn't even want to be Huntsmen"
"She just had to have faith." He answers earning a brow from the Doctor
"Faith you say?"
"Funny thing about faith is you'll never how it's gonna go or end and she knew that." Daven explains "She told me this once about it, We always hear of so many stories about the hero sacrifices themselves to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everyone lives happily ever after. But the hero...never get to see that ending. They'll never know their sacrifice made a difference, they'll never know if the day was really saved...in the end...they just have to faith...and so far faith has been working in her favor
Oobleck was impressed at his words "Interesting...Come along now Daven I believe we have the area secure"
They arrived to camp they see Ruby crouch down by the campfire warming her hands and everyone getting setup
"Ah a textbook campfire!" Oobleck shouted "Very good, eat your dinners and hurry to bed. We have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow and we'll need you to take turns to keep watch a temporary abode, any volunteers for first watch?"
"I got it." Daven answers raising his hand before walking by the girls
"Hey Daven" Yang stopped him as he close to her "Did Oobleck say anything why you wanted to be Huntsmen? What do you tell him"
"No, he asked if someone chose me to be to a Huntsmen...strange." He answers before shrugging his shoulder "Oh well...goodnight everyone!" And with that everyone ate their dinner which is just bread and went to bed while Daven keeps watch.
...
...
...
An hour has passed Daven still keeping watch and everyone is asleep...more or less.
Yang couldn't sleep she opens her eyes with a question to the Black Cat. "Blake...you awake?"
"Yeah" she answers
"Why do you think he asked us about being a Huntress?" Yangs asks. "Like...what was he trying to say?"
"Maybe he was just curious"
"You think?"
"…..No"
Yang looks over the Ice Queen. "Weiss, you awake?"
"Of course I'm awake you!" Weiss quitely shouted making Yang roll her eyes "The two of you are talking!...And I think he...when I said I wanted to honor my family's name, I really meant it but it's not what you think. I'm not blind or stupid, i know fully aware what my father has done with the Schnee Dust Company. Since he took control….our business has operated in a…..moral gray area"
"That's a simpler term." Blake comments
"Which is why I feel the need to make thing right!" Weiss sat up sounding serious" If I just took a Job in Atlas nothing or anything will change. My father wasn't the start of our name, and I refuse to let him be the end it"
"All my life, I fought for what i thought was right." Blake said sounding guilty" I had a partner...no more like mentor actually he always assured me that what we were doing would make the world a better place. But of course, his idea of a perfect future, wasn't perfect for everyone. "She explained. "I joined the Academy because i knew Huntsmen and Huntresses were regarded as the most noble warriors in the world. Always fighting for good...but I never really thought past that. When I leave the Academy….what will i- How can I undo so many years of hate?"
"I'm sure you'll figure it out" Yang assured her. "You're not one to back down from a challenge, Blake"
"But I am!" Blake shouted I do it all time! When you three learned i was a Faunus,I didn't know what to do, so I ran! When i realized my oldest partner had become a monster, I ran! Even my...own semblance i was born with the ability to leave behind a shadow of myself, an empty that takes the hit while I run away"
"At least you two have something that drives you." Yang said." I've...just kinda alway gone with the flow, you know? And that's fine, I mean that's who i am. But how long can I really do that for? I wanna be a Huntress…not because I wanna be a hero. Because I want the adventure, I want a life where O won't know what tomorrow will bring and that'll be a good thing. Being a Huntress just happen to line up with that. "She explains before looking over at her sleeping little sister looking all peaceful. "I'm not like Ruby. She's always wanted to be Huntress, it's like she said ever since she was a kid, she dreamt about becoming the heroes in the books. Helping people and saving the day and never asking for anything else in return. Even when she couldn't fight, she knew that's what she wanted to do. That's why she trained so hard to get where she is today"
"Well, she's still just kid Weiss points out"
"She's only two years younger than us" Blakes added "we're all kids"
"Well...not anymore" Yang disagrees. "I mean look where we are! In the middle of a wasteland and armed to teeth?"
"It's what we signed up"
"It's a job," Weiss points out "We all have this romanticized vision of being a Huntress our heads but at the end of the day..it's a job to protect the people and whatever we want will have to come second."
"Hmph." Yang smiled at words before she looks over at our one silver eye "And What about Daven?"
"Daven?"
"I mean there's no point of hiding it girls...we all like him." Yang said with making them turn slightly red "He's always helping us, smiling all the time, Do any of you why he wants to be Huntsmen...instead of you..hehe a singer?" She couldn't help but snicker at the end
Blake and Weiss sighed "We don't" they both said
"Maybe he told Ruby." Blake asks
"I bet he has" Yang answers before making a teasing smile "And did you two already know that he and Ruby are 'secretly' boyfriend and girlfriend." She said making Weiss and Blake twitch
"It's that obvious." Weiss pouted puffing her cheeks and, crossing her arms in somewhat defeat already knowing of their little secret
"Even after I marked him" Blake whispers as her bow frowns down
"I'm a bit a jealous at her " Yang admits but smiled a little "But also happy for her I never seen her so happy with someone before Ruby isn't good with people"
"We've all noticed." Weiss comments
Yang quietly chuckles "But them dating doesn't mean we should stop to win his heart." She said earning a brow from them.
"What... are you implying Yang?"
"I'm implying that we all become his girlfriend. "Yang bluntly said making them both turn more red and steam slowly stemming out from their heads.
"Yang why are you suggesting that?!"
"Aww what's wrong with you two?" Yang asks with a teasing look "Don't you two want to be with Daven...and besides i'm pretty sure he won't mind having four girlfriends at once and knowing him he'll happy about!...or a little freak out maybe both! So instead of us fighting over him we 'share' him." She offer with a smile
Weiss and Blake stared at her shock at her offer. They both shook their flustered heads and lay there thinking and they can't deny it. All of them have feelings for Daven but none of them don't want to fight each other for him they all become more than teammates/friends with each other and this seems a better option than them letting Ruby take him away!
"Sharing….him?...Alright i can do that Weiss agrees
"I can too." Blake agreeing as well
"Great! Yang cheered happily they're all in an agreement now "Oh...and don't worried about Ruby I know she won't mind as well"
"Good" Weiss nodded before making a confident smile "but I'm not going to lose to either of you... ehehehaha"
"Ooo don't be so sure about that." Blake said before making a dark smile
Weiss,Blake and Yang began laughing diabolically! They now lit the flames to start a war causing it to send off a dark sinister aura that even Daven sensed it where he was at
(Brrr!...feeling cold here.) Thought Daven after feeling three shivers to his spine for somewhat odd reason.

Another hour has passed and it's time to switch watch Yang took over as Daven gets some rest. After getting some sleep Daven soon felt something touching him "Ehh?" Barely opening his eyes and lifts up his head to sees it's Zwei cuddling next to him" Zwei go cuddle on Ruby sleeping bag or ….Blakes. He suggested before slamming his head back to his pillow but Zwei got up and ran off 'Wait Zwei were you going boy?!'' Unable to stop him Daven quietly got up and try to find where he went off too
"Zwei?...Zwei where are you little buddy?" Daven looks around and finds him peeing on a pillar across the street from him "Zwei we're literally in a wasteland." He said waving his head at the dog as he walks up to him "You could've done that anywhere"
"Hey you heard something? An unknown voice made Daven grab Zwei and quickly hides. They peak their heads our to see two White Fang goons patrolling the arena
"What was what?" The second goon ask
"I thought I heard a beowolf or something."
"Let's just finish our patrol and get back to base." The second goon said This place gives me the creeps.
Daven watches them walk away before setting Zwei down "It's sneaky time little friend" He and Zwei carefully following them popping their heads out from time to time the White Fang goons went around a corner, Daven lifts up Zwei for him to peak the next corner "Are they gone?.. A bark for yes, please"
….*Bark!*
"Alright! "Daven cheered as he sets Zwei down "We found something! He pulled out his scroll to tell the others what he and Zwei found but there was low signal. Figures...low signal here. Come on boy let's get the others!
Daven and Zwei back to the camp to tell what they've found but on the way there Daven felt the ground beneath his feet cracking "Huh?" The ground collapse making him and Zwei fall. Daven quickly throws a stringed Mura at the top thankfully he caught Zwei by his dog collar preventing them both to fall through, he throws up Zwei up to the top and he sees the dagger he threw at isn't gonna hold him much longer "Quick Zwei!" He shouted holding on to dear life. I don't know how lo-*Snap* "IT'S NOT HOLDINNNNNG!"
