A few weeks have passed since the Grimm invading Vale Team RWBYS, has been training for the upcoming Vytal Festival that begins in a few days all of them excited for it. Daven is eager for it as well to see what kind of weapons he'll see but before he could think of it...it's that time of year again.
It's a Saturday afternoon on the small island of Patch just outside Vale the goldish brown leaves on the trees and the cold wind blowing in the air meaning its the season of Fall. We see our blue hero now standing on the cliffside of the island wearing a black suit and tie holding some gift too. What's he's standing in front of? It's his mother's grave, Sarah Siruis
"Hey, mom, I'm here again…... Happy Birthday." He crouches down and gently set a bouquet of flower on her grave " I've brought your favorite flowers Bluebonnets...very hard to come by in Vale you should know I had to order them in a two months advance. And I bought you some fresh baked cookies too! I want you to know….. I'm... I'm doing much better now the last time we spoke."
"I met Ozpin in Vale.. and I'm at Beacon like you wanted me to and I've made a lot of good friends there...and maybe a few who are more than friends…God, I bet you're screaming in joy right now haha" he chuckled "You would've loved them mom and I know it"
"I've been staying out of trouble….yeah you know that's a lie haha. Strangely enough I'm not part a 4 person team but instead, I'm part of a 5 person team and we are called Team RWBYS!... Ozpin used our last name I'm guessing the letter S would fit anywhere for team naming for him instead of a D and Ozpin is still...you know...Ozpin as usual and Glynd- I mean professor Goodwitch is still frightening as ever but that's her."
"I haven't been slacking with my training...and my semblance too I can now summon the bow now and some others stuff too! Daven summons his void bow pulling the arrow back showing it off. See!...*CRah!* Umm whoops hehe.. (I think killed a bird) He thoughted "….Okay….uh… I've been taking care of your sword Lightbringer I still wonder why you gave me it...and your cloak as well"
"Things have been getting more...weird and awesome for me ever since I started going to Beacon. Like for starters I took down a White Nevermore alone, sang at the school dance, took down a criminal organization with my team and so many things you think I'm making this stuff up"
"I've been thinking about your last wish is for me to do become something greater than any Huntsmen or Huntress can do...what do mean by that? Hmph...guess I'll find out why eventually" He said shrugging his shoulder
"What else I should talk about..oh yes my teammates of course! There all girls by the way and yes….I'm...dating one of them well..not one... but all It's...*Sigh* I'll just say they made an agreement which I am happy about it. Their names are….You know what, I think it's better for them to meet you instead" Daven turns around and looks at a tree
Behind that tree is well... you know the rest of Team RWBYS
"We should stop guys." Blake whispers
"Shhh, Blake, he'll hear us ...hey where he'd go?"
"Ummmm ….What are you guys doing?" Daven popping behind them scaring them
"EPPP!" All of them cutely screamed falling to ground surprised they all shake their heads and look up to see Daven staring at them "Umm hi Daven." They all said
"Sooo care to explain why you all were following me all morning?"
Earlier
It was way early morning the sun hasn't came up yet Team RWBYS sleeping peacefully in their dorm room well except for one. Weiss barely opening her eyes after hearing something to see Daven getting all dressed up for some reason
"Daven?" She calls getting his attention
"Oh sorry, Weiss." He whispers "Didn't mean to wake you"
"Where..are you going?"
"Just...some early morning….errands" He answers "Just go back to sleep."
"Oh okay "And with that Daven quietly exits the room as Weiss laid back to bed but after a few seconds she immediately rose up with a suspicious feeling that It's a Saturday and she knows he never gets up way early on the weekends!
...
...
...
"Sooo why are we following Pretty Boy early in the morning?" Yang asks yawning and rubbing her eye as she, Blake, Weiss and Ruby popping their heads out from an alley spying him
"Yeah Weiss, why are we? "Ruby agreeing
"Do you think it's strange for him to get so early it's a Saturday!" Weiss answer "We all know he's always the last one to wake up on those days!
"Maybe he has a doctors appointment or something?" Blake suggested
"If he does...then why is he wearing a suit?" The Ice Queen points out earning a peak interest at why did is he wearing a suit?
Throughout the whole morning, the girls of Team RWBYS tailed Daven through Vale they saw him entering a flower shop getting a bouquet of flowers then to a bakery to get some freshly made cookies.
They all thought it was weird for him to get up so early in the morning to just get those things. But why is he getting those? Is he meeting someone important or could it be a date with another girl they don't know about! But they were wrong when they followed him to Patch to see it wasn't for date
...
...
...
Present
"So you all...well mostly Weiss thought I was going to meet with another girl or something?" Daven asks with a deadpan face
The girls stood there a bit guilty at what they did " Yeahh the Ice Queen dragged us" Yang answers making Weiss twitch and her face red
"Hey! I bet you all did find it strange when we were tailing him through Vale!" Weiss counters
"I think mostly you Weiss." Blake comments
"You were visiting your moms grave?" Ruby spoke up staring at the gravestone
"Hm? ummm Yeah... it's her birthday today" Daven answers " I've been coming here ever since..since she passed"
"Aww that's very sweet of you Pretty Boy" Yang teased "but you could've told us so we wouldn't be dragged by the Ice Queen!
"I guess I should've sorry " he said scratching the back of his head "….but Since you're all here anyway...would you all like meet her? He asks surprising them
"Wait you want us to…
"Of course." Daven gave them an encouraging smile "my mom would love to meet you all"
The girls stood there but they're not gonna pass on this chance they all smiled "We would love to."
"Yeah!" Yang cheered" we all wanna meet our man's mom!" She teased make the rest blush
With a small laugh, Daven escorted them to meet his mom The girls are a little nervous, they look down at the gravestone it said 'Sarah Sirius A flickering light that still shines brightly'
"Mom these are my teammates and they would all like to meet you"
First walking up is Yang "Hi...Miss Sirius," she greeted in her always cheery mode but also being she's respectful at the same time "I'm uhh..Yang Xiao Long, I'm a good friend and teammate to Daven and I've been treating him well I call him Pretty Boy most of the times cause of his cute face maybe he got it from you."
Second is Blake "My name is Blake Belladonna Miss Sirius" She bow her head….and I've been in your son care. I...I respect Daven Your son is very caring and wise he helped me in my time in need...and i...I marked him She said blushing and her bow wiggles "if you don't know I'm a Cat Faunus and our kind marks those who we trust and be by their side…... sooo in a way I'm your daughter in law now. She finished with a smile
Third it's the Ice Queen. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Sirius, I am Weiss Schnee Heir to the Schnee Dust Corp." Weiss greeted with a bow in her polite and well manner tone "I am very grateful to have your son Daven in our team although he's a bit childish I have to put up with and some others." She added getting a mean disgruntled look from the others but they shrugged it off "He's a gentleman….and a great singer too hehe she couldn't help but snicker at that
And lastly is Ruby..."Hi..Sarah, I'm...uh R-Ruby Rose" (Although you already know that) Ruby thoughted "..and yes our team name is RWBYS and I'm the leader! It can be confusing at first." She points out… "I keep Daven in line... that was a joke... haha.'she chuckled making Daven too "He's a fun person to have around to lighten everyone's mood….and..and "Ruby looks back the others before turning back with a smile…"We..we girls made an agreement...he probably just told you about it already is that we agree to share him although Blake, Weiss, and Yang kissed him already and I haven't yet despite me being his first girlfriend!" She pouted puffing her feeling left out, She quickly shook her head and looks back to her " Soooo We're hoping you're okay with it."
Daven quietly laughs at them he's a little embarrassed that they all said those things, little they know except for Daven that his mother is laughing in joy and fully approves for them to share her son! Shaking his head Daven walks pass Ruby and crouches down again in front of the grave "And that's all of them mom as you can see they're all beautiful, and they are nice to me….soo you don't need to worry much."
The girls stared at Daven they never seen him like this before well other than Ruby when he confessed to her and told him about her. A man who's always happy is now paying homage to the person he cared so much they felt a little more closer to him now.
Daven stood up "Well mom it's been great talking to you again but we have to go…. I'll come back again... I promise." He turns around to his teammates who are smiling
"You know…..I think your mom is happy right now Daven. "Ruby said as the others started to blush a little. "I mean...You got us looking out for you"
"She's right" Weiss agrees "You can rely on us too you know"
"We promise to help each other. Blake added
Yeah! Yang cheered fist pumping in the air " If you have any trouble we'll be there to help you out Pretty Boy!
Daven stood there but Ruby's right ever since that day happened... he's been alone, no one looking out for him but meeting Ruby, Weiss and everyone else at Beacon….is the best thing that had happen to him..he smiled back at them "Hmph...I guess you're right."
A few days have passed and now it's time for the Vytal Festival! People across from Remnants has come to Beacon where it's beginning held. The school is bursting with energy with many games and food stands at the fairground but that ain't main attraction for the Festival it's the Tournament!
"Welcome to the Vytal Festival Tournament!" The voice of Professor Port provide commentary alongside with Doctor Oobleck broadcasting it live in the Amity Colosseum an arena sky dome "For those who are first time watching allow us to break down the rules"
Oobleck steps in "The tournaments are divided into three distinctive rounds. Teams, Doubles, and Singles! Age and school year are irrelevant the only things that matter is...skill"
"Correct" Port applaud him "The winners of this battle will elect two of their members to represent them in the doubles round, followed by the winners of that round choosing any member of their team to advance once again! The remaining combatants will then fight their way through the final bracket in the hope of achieving victory for their kingdom!"
"And Yes, Peter these certainly are some spectacular spectacles on which to spectate on. And I don't think anyone tuning around world would disagree me on that."
"Ah, and why would they? Now let's get to the match between Team RWBYS of Beacon, and Team ARBN (Auburn) of Haven!"
Down on the arena floor, we have Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang facing off Arslan Altan leader of Team ABRN, Bolin Hori, Reese Chloris, and Nadir Shiko. The arena is divided in half with one being a hot lava field with some fire dust crystals and the other a icy cold field with ice dust crystals.
Blake on the icy side is holding her own against Ress Chloris a tomboyish skater girl her weapon of choice is a hoverboard
Reiss skates over to Blake who's standing on the Icy surface and throws her hoverboard at her Blake reacts defecting it back to her. Reiss punched her hoverboard back to Blake but Blake kicks at the incoming hoverboard and dashes for right for Reiss. Reiss caught her hoverboard in as she got close blocking her strikes. Both exchanged a few blows pushing each other back
Reiss then backflips away and hops back to her hoverboard and skates over to Blake again but Blake was hoping she'll do that again. With a grin on her face Blake backs away and used her shadow clone semblance combining it with the Ice Crystal in the area creating an Ice decoy of herself. Reiss did a kickflip at the decoy smashing it through Blake then slashed her sword at the hoverboard cutting it into two but that didn't stop Reiss her hoverboard was also two pistol she caught them both midairs firing a few shots at Blake her but landing on the ice made her slip causing her hit the ground hard on her butt as the audience cried at the sight of it (Ouch!)
On the other side on the lava field is Yang having brawl Arslan who is equally good a hand to hand combat as Yang and Daven.
Yang charges at Arslan punching her in the gut followed by a kick but Arslan ducked and did a spinning low kick at Yangs leg but she stepped back. Arslan began to attack again trying to overpower Yang but easily blocks them both are an even match.
With one heavy punch from them, both hit their fist together creating a large blast around them pushing them back. Yang dashes at Arslan again and jumps in the air to do an overhead kick but Arslan backflips dodging her overhead kick and she had an ace up her sleeve to counter Yang and by that she had a stringed dagger as Yang lands on her feet she quickly threw at her ankle and pulled to her doing a heavy spin kick sending Yang to the Ice field.
Yang grits her teeth from it as she tried to get up but the slippery icy made it difficult and made that her an easy target. Arslan charges at Yang and punched her sending her sliding on the Ice again landing near one of her teammates Nadir holding his weapon is a bladed smg
Nadir was about to fire at the defenseless Yang but he was stopped when Ruby across from the other side of the Ice field fried a sniper at the Ice crystal he was standing next to causing it exploded making him drop his weapon and trapping his leg in a shell of ice. Nadir looks down to see he's helpless and began whimpering that he's trapped and can't do anything to get out.
"Got your back sis!" Said Ruby saving her big sister from being eliminated
"Who's got yours?" Ask Bolin holding his weapon a metal staff. He slowly approaches Ruby and was gonna attack but stopped when he noticed a black glyph next to him and was kick through it sending him to the lava side field by the Ice Queen herself Weiss
Ruby got up with a smile to her "My BFF!"
"No." The Ice Queen replies before she went for Bolin
Ruby just turns around and fist pump in the air Yes!
Bolin quickly got up to feet and see Weiss coming him, She summons a glyph to give her a little speed and dash attack managing to him one she then jumps over him and attack mid-air but Bolin blocked it with his staff
Weiss lands on her feet stepping back and again summons a glyph behind her but it wasn't for her Ruby from behind used as a jump pad to launch herself the and the air. She spins Crescent Rose in the air before striking down at Bolin who manage to block it but the ground beneath cracked. Ruby grits her teeth to see her attack wasn't enough she pulled her scythe trigger firing a shot that is was able to knock Bolin to the ground and pushing her back to Weiss.
Bolin got up again and looks at them he dashes at them Weiss fired a few ice shards but he rolls out the way dodging them he passes Weiss he then jumps over Ruby dodging her strike as well
"What?!" Ruby shouted in disappointed that he wasn't going for them but instead of the fire crystal behind them
Bolin cuts the tip of the fire crystal with staff that has a small blade and tosses it to Reese who caught it and jamming it into her hoverboard making it color red. Reese hops back on and hovers over Nadir melting the ice freeing him she then went back for Blake again she jumps at her with her hoverboard pushing her through an Ice pillar knocking her down.
Black quickly got up and block a slam attack from Reese she throws her Gambol Shroud and pulls herself away from Reese as she began chasing her down. Around the next Reese sees Blake with her back turn with a grin she kickflips her hoverboard at Blake but it was a trap it was one of her shadow clones. Then a black ribbon appear in front stopping her mid-air Blake attacks her from behind sending her out of the arena eliminating her
"A double whammy!" Port shouted "Reese Chloris is eliminated by ring out and Aura level!"
"Oh she should've worn a helmet!" Oobleck added
It's now 4v3 Team RWBYS has the advantage back on the arena floor Nadir is back on his feet and ready for action but as just as was he got tackled by Bolin thanks to Weiss knocking them to the Ice field. Weiss then stabs Myasterchest to the Icy surface and summon a black glyph underneath their feet making them both headbutt each other stunning a bit. Weiss summons a regular glyph and created a large ice hand grabbing them both and trapping them. Both Nadir and Bolin eyes widen and unable to break free as the Ice hand slowly began rolling out of the arena floor
Arslan running around she sees them in trouble and rolled her eyes and went over to help. She stood in the way of the large ice boulder. She stands firm entering a judo pose, ready for it as it got close she punched the ice boulder destroy it in one hit freeing her teammates
Weiss saw them all bunch up together she quickly had an idea "Yang!" she calls as she created a wave of ice behind. Yang can tell what she had in plan and so as the others she shotgun boost sliding along the ice wave as Blake running beside her throws her Gambol shroud at her. Blake jumps on Ruby who gave her a little boost in the air with her sniper shot. Blake throws Yang over her head sending her at full speed at the With one punch Yang eliminated them all by aura level
The crowd cheered at the amazing display Team RWBYS has won In those stands is our hero Daven cheering Woohoo! Go Team RWBYS! He shouted holding a small flag with his team initials
Ruby standing in awe she couldn't believe it they won she jumps in the air shouting "WE DID III-is anyone else starving? she asks her team as all of them were all outside of the stadium
"After a match like that you guys would be hungry." Daven said smiling
"I may have I worked up an appetite" Blake agreeing
*GROWWWWL!*
A loud stomach growl from Blake earning a look from them making her blush in embarrassment
"Haha!" Daven playfully laughed at her "Craving for some fish Blake?" He teased
"Geez if only there were somewhere on campus to get food around here." Weiss sarcastically asks as all them look around where at there
..
..
..
"Uhhh"
"Don't answer that Daven"
"It's okay, Weiss." Ruby assured her "I forget about the fairgrounds too"
"I was being facetious!"
"Wha-well if you were hungry you could've just say so!"
"Come on I know a place." Yang said as she walks ahead
Everyone followed her but Weiss suddenly stopped when her scroll beeping getting a phone call she looks at it and to her surprised it's her father she grits teeth and puts her scroll away "Something the matter Weiss?" Daven asks startling her
"Ooh it's um...nothing" She answers before catching up with the other.
"Hey!" The voice of Emerald getting there attention from behind Might be hard to eat without this! She said holding up Ruby's wallet
Ruby gasped in fear she quickly cheeks her pockets as Emerald laughed at her
"Haha good to see you Ruby. "She said handing her wallet
"Thanks, Emerald! Guess I dropped it..Grr, girl pockets are the worst!"
"How you Em?" Yang asks
"Just left the stadium after watching your amazing" She answers" You guys were awesome!"
"Oh stop it." Ruby said as she blushing and mumbling to herself she couldn't help feel a little embarrassed being praised
"I heard your team made it to the next round." Blake said
"You know I feel like we never see your other teammates." Weiss points out
"Really? I've seen them around" Daven spoke up" i've met their fourth teammate a very quiet one. What was her name again? Nier was it?"
"It is" Emerald answers
"So how you guys did on your match?" Yang asks
"Umm.."Emerald tilts her head thinking"...Very well" She answers (Obviously)
"That's great!" Ruby cheered, Why don't we all go out and get some victory food together
"Oh that's so nice of you but..." Emerald looks behind at Mercury who's sniffing a boot at a stand "My teammates are all kind of…"
"Socially awkward?" Daven bluntly answers
"Yes."
"Ah...We can see that." Ruby agreeing
"So yeah. Looks like Mercury and I will be moving on to the doubles round." Emerald said"What about you guys?"
"Well since Daven didn't get to be in the first round, he'll be in the second round and as the great leader I am I thought long and hard of who to pair with him and decided to put Weiss with him. "Ruby answers sounding a little proud
"Actually, we decided to do rock paper scissors for who goes with him and I won." Weiss corrected her a smug look as the rest pouted
Ruby eyes widen blushing in embarrassment "Ah y-yes and if we win this round we all decided to Yang in the finals!"
"I will happily represent Team RWBYS." Weiss said bowing like a princess
"Yeah!" Daven cheered "We're in this to win it!"
Emerald just chuckles "Hmph...Well if Merc with the Mouth and i see you down the line don't think we'll go easy."
"We shall see."
"Alright. Well, we're gonna go catch some more matches."
"Okay have fun!" Ruby said as the rest of them walks away
"Seeya!" Emerald waved bye but as she turns around she made disgusted look as Mercury walks beside her and laughs
"Hmph so how are the new 'friends'?"
"I hate them." She answers
"Orders are orders."
"I just...don't understand how can they be so happy all the time!?"
"Did you at least get what we need?"
"It's the Heiress and the Blue Brat in the doubles and the Bimbo in the finals if they win"
"Hmm, alright. At least now we know who we're working with."
...
...
...
Team RWBYS arrived at The Simple Wok Noodle House stand the old man as usual is running it..how many jobs does this guy have?
"I'll have the bowl of the regular please. Yang order as she received a large noodle bowl
"Oooo I'll take the same!" Ruby said getting the same as her sister
"Hmmm same here but make mine spicy please." Another large bowl noodles with some red sauce over it for Daven
"Do you have a low salt?" Weiss asks only getting a kinda low salt noodle bowl
As for Blake she stared at the old man and nodded to him. With the go ahead the old man quickly rushes into the back cooking and placing Blake's order in front of her. Blakes' eyes became stars as she started to drool over the bowl of noodles that has a large portion of fish
Weiss then pulls out her allowance debit card to pay for their meal
"Aww Weiss thanks what's the occasion?" Yang asks
"Consider it a thanks for sending me to the Doubles round with Daven." She answers until she suddenly received her card back. She looks that her card is declined
"What!? How can my card be declined I didn't spend much this monthly allowance!"
"Noooo…."Blake whimpers as she fails to steal the bowl
Maybe I could help? Ask Pyrrha getting their attention as she and the rest of Team JNPR walk to them
"Hi Pyrrha!" Daven waved
"Aww you don't have to." Yang said
"But she could!" Blake desperately shouted
Pyrrha just smiled Well, I think you all earned it after that match"
"I don't though" Daven points out.
"Well you where there providing support to them and that counts," Pyrrha said to him. After all, what Daven has done for her like hooking up with Jaune to her and encouraging them both she's been very thankful to him
After their group meal together Pyrrha paid for they couldn't take another bite. They push their empty bowls away feeling satisfied..except for Jaune who is feeling a little sick
"Was it wise for us to eat before our match?" Ren asks picking his teeth with a toothpick
"Of course!" Pyrrha replies nodding her head. "It'll give us energy!"
*BURRRP!* Courtesy of Nora
"10 points Nora!" Daven shouted holding a small sign with the number 10 on it
"Ugghhh if I barf I'm blaming you." Jaune groaned resting his head on the counter
"Oh! Aim it at the enemy!" Nora suggested with an eager smile
"Nora that's disgusting!" Ren shouted, "But that does seem tactical." He points out
"Noted."
"Well we should get ready for our match. Pyrrha said standing up from her seat
"You guys think you're ready?" Ruby asks
"Of course!" Nora answers sounding confident We've got a world-renowned fighter, Ren's basically a ninja, I can bench five of me, Jaune-…..We've trained all year, our weapons are awesome, Glynda barely yells at us anymore, and uh….Jaune!"
"Are you gonna say something?" Ren asks him
"She's not wrong.." He dejectedly admits
"I'm kidding!" Nora cheered "He knows I'm playing! Don't be so nervous the worst that could happen is we lose! Then it's just a few more years of walking around school with everyone knowing we're failures our friends will slowly abandon us to preserve their social status, we won't be able to show our faces in class, no one will sit with us in lunch. Ren and I a have no parents, we have no home left to go to and we'll be officially renamed Team LOSE-iper ahahahaha!" She finished laughing psychotically before slamming her head down on the counter and began sobbing in tears. Well... her tone completely change quickly
"Sooo yeah we're pretty good here." Ren sarcastically said
"Don't fret. Pyrrha assured them, patting their backs "If anything, we should be looking forward to a fight with actual guidelines and not...well murderers"
"Yeah!" Yang agreeing "We've all faced way worse before"
"Let's see" Blake began counting her fingers " Grimm invasions, violent extremist, and a destructive sociopath."
"Hmph" Daven smirked " What else is next?"
"And that's all while we were still in training! Ruby added "Oh imagine what it'll be like when we graduate!" She cheerfully said
"Maybe then I'll be able to pay for a meal." Weiss comments
Just then the intercom came on "Would Team JNPR please report to the battlegrounds immediately."
"Yes! Like they were scheduled to 15 minutes ago!"
"Well, then it looks like this is it!" Pyrrha turn around and processed to make way to the stadium as the rest of Team JNPR follows
"Good Luck!" Daven encourage them as they left
Team RWBYS isn't gonna miss their friends match all of made their way to the stadium to watch and since their students from Beacon that got special seats in the front row! The crowd is booming with energy eager for the match to start
Team JNPR and their opponent Team BRZN (Bronze) from Shade walk to the center of the arena with their weapons drawn while the field began randomizing slowly decidedly what side will get on. Team ARBN side got the first pick and it a heavy dense forest as for Team JNPR side a rocky high mountain. With both side set, it's time to begin the match
Professor Port began counting down "Three...two...one...BEGIN!"
