And hello! One more time I bring another chapter of RONOS.
But before...
● Thank you for the 200 Favs and 250 follows! ●
Seriously I'm surprised at how good and fast this story was received, since the first chapter was very short, and still with only 10 episodes (Now 11) RONOS has many followers, and for that I thank you guys.
Remember to give Follow and Favorite, especially favorite, seriously, the Follows are more than 250 but the Favs more than 200, that is very unbalanced, so give it to Favorites, please.
(Q&A)
kerrowe: Well I will not say it because of Spoilers but I can tell you that at the beginning they will have problems between the two of them.
PanchoVilla1224: Maybe...
DesnudoSerpiente: Cinder is a big NO, Winter probably not and Emerald... probably no but who knows.

Shashenka: Sound cool but i don't want Snake to join her tribe. But he can have some effect in her philosophy.
TheIncrenator: Believe me, they will know soon, maybe in the following chapters...
Sr. Red: Thanks for that.
...
Well, That would be all, I did not answer some that talked about Raiden or other characters because I answered at the end of the chapter.
Without more to say, let's continue.
I don't own RWBY or Metal Gear.
Chapter 11
One more day in Beacon. One more day in this school. One more day in this world.
Once again the routine start again. It was Monday, so after enjoying the weekend, the students would start attending classes again, It was their duty as students and Huntsmen in training, be the protectors of the world. Although there was a difference this time.
Today was the first day of Ocelot - the man who worked as a soldier, spy and triple agent before - as a teacher at Beacon Academy, where he would teach Close Quarters Combat to the students, along with Professor Glynda Goodwitch, but he wouldn't have a problem working with her, probably. The previous day he spent most of the day reading and memorizing almost everything about Remnant, its history, kingdoms, cities, academies, and any other type of information, especially the White Fang, that terrorist organization operated by extremists faunus or the Grimm, evil creatures attracted by negative thoughts and emotions.
Now, in this morning, Revolver Ocelot was wearing the same clothes he had when he arrived at Remnant, which was a long-sleeved reddish-brown shirt, red gloves, boots with spurs and black pants. He also thought that he should buy more clothes when he had money. When he was ready, Ocelot left his room and started walking down the corridor, there was still an hour to start the classes, so it was better to start acquainting himself with the place, so he thought about going around the school and meeting the rest of the staff, and maybe eat something, since he hasn't eaten anything since he arrived.
And while Ocelot was ready to start the day, Snake was just waking up, as always, he was the first one to wake up. So, while the rest of the team was still asleep, Snake took the opportunity to enter the bathroom first and take a shower. And after showering for little more than 10 minutes, Snake came out of the bathroom, already dressed as always in the tiger-strip uniform, plus he noticed that his teammates and DD were waking up.
"Morning everyone." Snake said, as he came out of the bathroom and finished putting on his bandana on his head as everyday, as the girls were leaving the bed.
"Morning, Snakey." Said Yang with a big yawn.
"Good morning everyone." Said Weiss, and soon Ruby and Blake also began to wake up, noticing that Snake was already dressed.
"Good morning Team RWBY! And good morning to you DD!" Said Ruby to the wolf, so he barked as an answer. Ruby just smiled at that.
"You're always a early riser, huh?" Said the faunus-cat girl, still on her bed because of DD.
"Uh yes?" It's been almost two months since Snake came to Remnant and just now Blake realizes that? "It's half an hour before classes start, you better dress up."
"Yes sir!" Ruby said joking as she kept her smile. Weiss rolled her eyes when she saw Ruby's child attitude and Yang showed a smile.
Yang and Ruby were a little excited since today was the day they apparently were going to receive training about CQC. While they were excited, Weiss and Blake were not so much like them. After having dressed, team RWBY+S with D-Dog left the dorm room, and in the hallway they met with team JNPR.
"Hey guys!" Said Ruby to them. They turned to see Ruby, the team leader, and they saw behind her Weiss, Blake, Yang, Snake and... a wolf!? Everyone was surprised to see that team RWBY+S had a wolf with them.
"Woah! What is that!?" Said Nora as she approached DD.
"Oh this is DD! He is a wolf! Say hello DD!" Said Ruby to D-Dog, and he let out a bark to Nora, to which her smile grew larger, soon Pyrrha, Jaune and even Ren approached the wolf curiously, even noticing that he wore an eye patch on his right eye.
"Where did you find a wolf?" Asked Pyrrha as she looked at DD, and showed a small smile.
"He is the new teacher's mascot." Yang responded, while they saw Nora playing and caressing DD's ears.
"And the new member of team RWBYS!" Said the girl with silver eyes. Since DD would now stay with them, basically the girls and Snake could say DD was the team mascot, or even the new member.
"Unfortunately..." Blake muttered, keeping distance from the wolf.
"Wait, new teacher? What'd you mean by that?" Asked the blond team leader of JNPR.
"Beacon will have another combat teacher." Said the heiress.
"Didn't you see him yesterday? He has white hair and he was dressed a little weird, like a cowboy without the hat or something like that." Said the blonde brawler.
"We were in Vale almost all day." Pyrrha answered. At least they seemed to spend more time as a team. But they really seemed interested in this new teacher, what would he teach them? When they arrived they would know it.
"You'll know him soon, is better if we get movin'." Said Snake with a small smile to the rest, and they nodded. So soon everyone started walking, while Nora continued to see and caress DD as if she were a little girl.
And while all that was happening, Ocelot was already at the Arena, waiting for the students to arrive. He was discussing with himself in his mind how the class could begin, since he would not be alone, he would be working together with Glynda Goodwitch. And speaking about the witch, Glynda soon arrived, while keeping both arms crossed, she was walking to where Ocelot was.
"Good morning, Professor Goodwitch." Ocelot greeted to the blond teacher.
"Good morning, I see that you arrived early." Glynda answered. And as always, her tone of voice when she was speaking didn't sound friendly.
"It's my first day of work, I guess the best thing to do is to arrive early." Ocelot responding, while keeping both arms crossed.
"It's good to hear that." The 'witch' answered. "I hope you know how to act in front of the students."
"It isn't very different from train new recruits, it will be simple." Adam answered to the blonde professor.
"Since we will both teach in the same class, I assumed that it would be best for us to teach half class. I will teach combat with weapons, and you hand-to-hand combat." Glynda explained.
"I agree, so there will be no problem." Said Ocelot, while he and Glynda were watching as the students began to arrive and take a seat, among them he saw Snake and his team; team RWBY, RWBYS or RWBY+S, whatever they were called. Glynda and Ocelot waited for all the students to arrive, while some began to murmur about the man who was with Professor Goodwitch.
"Good morning children." Glynda said, and with that the students fell silent and paid attention. "Today we will continue the sparring matches between students, however, first you'll start with another type of training that you will receive from now on." After saying that, Glynda turned to see Ocelot, so he just began to take a few steps to stay a little ahead of her.
"Good morning everyone, my name is Adamska Ocelot, from now on I will be your new teacher, and I will work together with Professor Goodwitch to teach you a hand-to-hand combat technique called Close Quarters Combat or CQC." After saying that, once again the murmurs among the students began to be heard, but Ocelot kept talking. "The Close Quarters Combat, or CQC, is a close combat technique that can be used to incapacitate, let out of combat or disarm an opponent using only the body. The duty of the Academies is to teach the next generation of Hunters to fight against the Grimm, but not always your enemies will be creatures of Grimm, as a Huntsmen your duty is to keep the peace in the kingdoms, and that means you will even have to fight against other people, criminals or terrorists like the White Fang. And that means that you won't always have your weapons at your disposal or even you could lose your weapons. And that means you'll have to depend on your own bodies to fight."
Glynda was a little surprised to hear him speak, as he knew how to express himself before the students and spoke with authority, perhaps as he said, it was not very different from teaching recruits.
"Ha! Like if someone could take my weapon." Said one of the male students, and everyone turned to see him.
"Is there something you want to comment, mister...?"
"Cardin Winchester."
"Well Winchester, by the way you speak maybe you are an exceptional student and you know how to face your opponents." Said Ocelot, and soon small and short laughs were heard among the students but Cardin ignored them. "But still, this is to teach you and the other students how to fight without weapons."
"As if that were useful." Said the idiot with both arms crossed.
"Okay, if you feel you can win a fight against someone who isn't using a weapon, how about we organize a match?" Said Ocelot with a little, cocky smile, he could notice that the boy was quite arrogant, and therefore, he could make several mistakes. In a way it reminded him of himself.
"Fine by me, and who will fight against me?"
"How about... him?" Everyone turned to see where Ocelot pointed with his finger. Cardin turned to see to his left, where he saw nothing more and nothing less than the weak Jaune Arc, so he let out a laugh.
"Uh!? Me!?" The blond pointed to himself.
"Sure! This will be easy." Cardin said with a big smug smile.
"No, not him. Him, Stand up please." Ocelot said, so the student stood up.
Cardin's smile and self-confidence disappeared as if it had been hit by someone with a hammer when he saw who it was. It was Snake. Ocelot had heard of the fight Snake had on Saturday - The day before he woke up in Remnant. - So he already had a clear idea of the reputation of team CRDL and its leader.
"If you want we can start in this moment, but of course, if you want you can change your mind, and stay in your seat." Said the new teacher.
Cardin already knew what would happen if he fought Snake, if he and his team couldn't beat him, let alone he could do it alone, it will be a humiliation again. Maybe after so many defeats and humiliations, he would begin to learn not to be so arrogant. His silence was his response.
"Okay, now, we'll start with the class, first, I want you to come to the Arena and form pairs with one of your teammates." After saying that, the students began to go to where the teachers were, and after a brief minute, the pairs between students were already formed.
Pyrrha was with Jaune, Nora with Ren, Weiss with Ruby and Yang with Blake. That basically left Snake alone, staying aside, along with DD. Ironically until now the other students realized that D-Dog was there, and once again the murmurs between students began about the wolf. But neither Ocelot nor Glynda bothered the presence of DD.
"First of all, we are going to organize a small match between two pairs of students. The first ones will be... Xiao Long and Belladonna against... what are your names?"
"Pyrrha Nikos." She responded calmly but she noticed that her teammate was not calm.
"J-Jaune Arc." He responded somewhat nervous since he would basically have to fight hand to hand against Yang and Blake.
"All right, Nikos and Arc will fight against Xiao Long and Belladonna. In this first demonstration, both pairs will fight without using their Semblances or weapons, they will only use their hands and legs. After the fight, we will evaluate the difference between them, and I will explain how the CQC is different from any other combat style." Ocelot explained to the students, without using the mister/miss term like any other Professor in the school.
Pyrrha and Blake nodded, Jaune was just nervous because he looked at Yang and she just showed a big grin while cracking her knuckles. This was going to be bad for him, he felt it.
Ocelot began to walk to be in the middle of the students in the arena. However, as he passed Yang and Blake, he smiled a little and whispered something that only they heard. "He'll be watching, maybe you can surprise him."
Their eyes widened a little and both girls turned to see Snake, who was standing with his arms crossed next to Weiss, Ruby and DD. Soon they understood what the new professor wanted to say and a slight blush appeared on both their faces.
"I hope that dumb looks how I fight..." Said the blonde brawler in her head.
"Maybe I can impress him if I fight well..." Said the cat faunus in her mind too.
"Begin!" Ocelot said to the students.
Both Yang and Blake came back to reality, shocked their heads and advanced to where Pyrrha and Jaune were. Both girls were determined to win.
Yang went in the direction where Pyrrha was, and Blake where Jaune was. Blake, using her fist, tried to hit Jaune in the face. The blond barely managed to evade the attack after moving aside. A smile formed on his face to see that he managed to avoid the first attack, unfortunately, Blake took a turn and managed to kick him in the face, which sent Jaune to the ground.
Yang, on the other hand, could not use her Semblance, but that didn't mean she could not fight against the Invincible Girl, Pyrrha likewise did not need to use her Semblance to fight only with her hands. Yang and Pyrrha continued to try to hit each other, but in the first seconds they did not achieve anything, It was not until Yang decided to kick her, trying to hit her on the ankle of one of her legs. but Pyrrha managed to jump before being hit. After touching the ground, the redhead managed to hit Yang on the face, so the blonde stepped back a few steps.
Blake, after having kicked Jaune and leaving him on the floor, she went to help Yang, what the cat faunus did was to make a jump, to give the redhead a flying kick with her right leg, but Pyrrha managed to evade her by tilting her body to the back , causing Blake's foot nearly touch Pyrrha's face by a few inches. Blake fell to her feet, and placed herself next to Yang, both girls were prepared to continue fighting, while Jaune approached Pyrrha after recovering from that kick. But then...
"That's enough!"
The four looked at Ocelot, who opted to stop the fight. He began to take a few steps and stay close to them. It had been almost a minute since they started and finished the fight, it was quite short.
"It was an interesting demonstration of fighting, however, in real terms, it was a big failure from all of you." Ocelot said as he spoke to BY and JP. The four were surprised to hear that the teacher considered that they failed. Because Jaune was understandable, but he also referred to Blake, Pyrrha and Yang.
Actually Ocelot was a little surprised to see the fight, those girls moved with such agility and seemed to fight well, but even so, Ocelot thought that using a minimum effort of CQC could knock them out easily, and he thought that Snake was probably thinking the same thing.
Before anyone could complain about Ocelot's comment, he spoke again. "I will show you an example of Close Quarters Combat, and since Snake doesn't have any companion to train, he will help me with the examples." Ocelot said as he looked at Snake, with a small, slightly smug smile.
Snake just gave a sigh and walked towards Ocelot, it seemed that now he would be some kind of test dummy, and Snake knew Ocelot would probably enjoy using him as a test dummy. Snake only stayed in front of Ocelot.
"The most basic principle of the CQC is to use it to defend yourself, that is, if someone wants to attack you, you will have to respond quickly."
Ocelot said and gestured to Snake to attack and he nodded. What he did was use his leg to try to attack Ocelot, but it wasn't something serious, it was a slow movement, as part of the example. Ocelot used his hand to avoid the kick, causing Snake to lower his leg, and after having him close by, Ocelot used his arm horizontally to 'hit' Snake in the neck, causing Snake to back up a few steps.
"Of course, in a real fight the movements would not be slow, and because of that, you need to react faster. Now that you saw the example, I want one of you to do that with your partner, one kicks and the other counterattacks, then vice versa." Ocelot ordered them, and as such, the students began to practice with that example, while Glynda, Snake and Ocelot just watched.

Lunch time.
After finishing the first class, half class with Ocelot and the other half with Goodwitch, the students went to the cafeteria to eat something and relax. But trying to relax would also come with complaint after complaint. Teams RWBY and JNPR as usual sat together, while DD was at the side of the table eating on the floor some leftovers that the cooks kindly decided to give him when Snake asked about it, although there were some students who turned to see the wolf, wondering why there was a wolf there. Soon they would have to get used to their presence though.
"Ugh I can't believe that Professor Ocelot had us doing the same thing for 20 minutes until Goodwitch told us to go back to fighting with our weapons." Weiss complained, but she, like others, would have to get used to the fact that classes would now be divided between two sections: Combat with weapons and hand-to-hand combat.
"Hey, at least you weren't kicked in the face. "Jaune commented while looking at Blake, but she did not return the gaze. Pyrrha just patted his shoulder and Nora gave a small chuckle.
"I was angry since he said that my way of fighting was a failure." Said the blonde brawler, while she touched the food with the fork but didn't eat it.
"Well, I think it's understandable when he said that referring to Jaune." Blake said, while Jaune just said 'Hey!' on the background. "But I don't understand what we did wrong."
"I'm not surprised, Yang just threw herself at Pyrrha trying to hit her, you should have thought that before, don't you think?" Said the heiress to her blonde teammate.
"But at least I know how to fight, unlike you I'm not afraid of ruining my nails." Yang said smugly.
"It was the way you fight back then." Snake said, earning the attention of teams RWBY and JNPR.
"What'd you mean, Snake?" Asked Ruby.
"Are you saying that we fight terrible, Neky?" Said Yang, with a small scowl in her face as she saw her one-eyed teammate.
"No. As I saw it, you fought well, but compared to the CQC, it seemed more like a street fight. CQC is not only to hit your opponent, it is to know how to predict your opponent's attacks, how to disarm and subdue an enemy. It isn't just do one attack after another."
"Woah... sounds a bit complicated." Ruby admitted.
"It is... but once you train enough, your own body will adapt to the movements, as if it were something normal." Snake explained to the others. Then he had a small idea. He thought he could teach his team the basic concepts of CQC. At least that's how they would learn to fight without using weapons, since Blake and Yang seemed to have no problem, but Ruby and Weiss without their weapons were basically nothing.
For now, the day and the classes would continue normally.
— l — l — l —
After school...
So, after finishing the classes on the first day of the week, the students could take a break and relax as they liked. Although that was not the case for a certain team that everyone knows.
After finishing classes, Snake told team RWBY they would continue training their CQC, even though he is not the leader of the team, nobody opposed, only Weiss, but nobody paid any attention to her complaints. So, after finishing classes, team RWBY+S went to one of the training rooms in Beacon.
"Remind me again, why we're here?" Said Weiss to the team, while the six (Counting DD) walked down the hallway.
"It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it?" Said Yang with a small grin on her face.
"Huh? No, I mean why we are here? Going to train? I would rather be resting a bit instead of training." The white-haired girl clarified after hearing Yang's weird and probably familiar comment.
"Because this is a perfect opportunity to teach you some of the basics of CQC, it isn't necessary to train it but it would be useful if you look at it. Also, the others accepted, why you keep complaining?" Said Snake in a calm and neutral tone of voice.
Weiss, angry and offended by Snake's comment, was about to respond, but soon he continued talking, interrupting her opportunity to respond.
"If you don't learn it from me you will learn it from Ocelot, there is not much difference." He said once more. And with that, Weiss said nothing. Soon the Huntsmen and the four Huntress in training arrived at the training room, which was quite large, had no windows and was illuminated by several lights that were on the ceiling. Snake, since he was the one in front when they were walking, turned to see the girls behind him, and took his knife. What he did was take it by the handle, and then turn it over, taking it by the cutting edge, offering the handle to one of the four.
"Who wants to be the first to practice? You can use this knife or even your weapons to attack me, I will try to defend myself with my hands." Snake said to the girls.
"Uh I will." Ruby said almost immediately, in a tone that showed a bit of doubt. On one hand she wanted to practice CQC and as far as she and the other girls knew, Snake was a master about it, because he and his Mentor developed it, but she felt a little uncomfortable with the idea of using a knife. After giving her answer, Ruby took Snake's knife.
"All right, don't hesitate to attack me as you want, I won't hit you but I won't be gentle with you either, okay?" Said Big Boss while he walked to the center of the circle that forms the limit of the Arena inside that training room.
"All right!" She said with a small smile that showed her enthusiasm.
After saying that, Ruby ran without using her Semblance towards Snake. Being close enough to Snake, she moved her arm forward to try to attack Snake to the stomach, a simple attack since she wasn't very good with knives. Snake managed to predict the attack easily, so with both hands he took her arm, and what he did was to stand behind her, while still holding her arm, putting it behind her back, pressing it a little to cause a slight pain. Ruby feeling that released the knife, leaving it to fall to the ground. Ruby tried to break free, but it was very difficult since Snake had her well attached from her arm.
"O-okay, I surrender, but let me go!" The team leader cried out and begged because of the pain that, although not very painful, was quite annoying.
Snake upon hearing that, released her immediately. "Right, sorry." He answered while bending down to take his knife.
"If I had used my Semblance I would have won." Ruby said as she pouted a little and rubbed her arm with her hand.
"All right then! I'm the next! And I don't need to use a knife, I'll hit you with my own fists." Said the blonde brawler with a small grin, while taking a few steps inside the circle.
"You're very confident today, Yang." Snake said to the blond girl, but it was no surprise, she was always quite confident in herself.
"I know that the other time you were holding back, I want you to fight serious this time, or I'll be angry." Yang said keeping her smile, but the tone with which she said that sounded demanding and slightly angry. Since both were in a draw (Thanks to Ozpin) Yang wanted the rematch.
While Yang entered the circle, Ruby left to go with Weiss, Blake and DD. Yang and Big Boss were on opposite sides of that circle, ready to fight.
"Fine, I won't contain myself." Said Boss while raising his two hands. Then he lowered them, and his posture changed to one that indicated he was ready to fight.
Yang showed a smug smile, and soon what she did was go to where Snake was, moving fast. Yang was ready to hit Snake with her right fist. But Snake, simply and quickly, stopped the attack. What he did was to use his left arm, to hit Yang's wrist, thus avoiding the attack. After avoiding the attack, Snake moved quickly, and bent down a little to hit Yang in the stomach using his elbow. Yang, although her Semblance allowed her to use the damage received to turn it into force, she cried out in pain, and what Snake did at that moment was to take Yang's right arm, and what he did was to twist her arm with enough force, causing her to take a flip in the air, and fall on the floor.
And all that was in less than 7 seconds. Yang fell to the floor, with her back to the ground, while Snake still kept his hands on her arm.
Yang was angry, but also surprised, always considered herself as someone strong, capable of beating anyone who wanted to fight her, that's why she liked to fight. But at that moment, Snake using CQC managed to beat her in less than 7 seconds. She could only think CQC was something incredible.
"Dammit!" The word came from Yang's mouth, as she was on the floor, while Snake still submitted her. Although she was making useless efforts to free herself. Snake did not say anything, instead he continued to twist her arm slowly. Yang could only try to move abruptly to free herself, but it was in vain.
"A-All right, you win!" Yang yelled at Snake, while she tried to break free, but her efforts were useless.
Snake released her arm, taking a few steps back. Yang tried to compose herself while still kneeling on the floor. But soon she showed a smile and quickly got up and tried to hit Snake again. But Boss once again reacted fast and took her by the wrist, placed his foot behind hers, and pushed her to one more time throw her to the ground, this one with more force.
Yang's Semblance allowed her to absorb the damage to make herself stronger, but it was difficult to use if Snake knew how and what part of the body attack, he didn't hit or kicked her, but rather tried to subdue Yang. That's why Yang's Semblance didn't work.
"Damn..." Yang said under her breath, she wasn't tired but she felt that she couldn't win like that.
"You wanna rest?" Said Snake as she saw the blonde brawler on the floor.
"No, I..." The blonde tried to get up but in the end decided to drop herself to the cold ground. "Yeah... just a little..."
"C'mon." Snake offered Yang a hand to get up, she gave a small smiled and after a few seconds she accepted his help.
"Seriously I need to learn all those crazy techniques." Yang stated as a fact, after her butt was kicked.
Snake patted Yang on the shoulder. "I learned it that way, several times my Mentor gave me a beating while we were training with CQC, but in the end that's how she and I developed." Snake stated with a small smile.
"Even so, I admit that it's something incredible." Said Blake as everyone turned to see her. "I've never seen a similar fighting style in my life."
Snake hummed before saying something. "To be honest, sometimes I think that the concept of CQC as a hand-to-hand combat technique was way ahead of its time, and in a world like this, where there are weapons of all kinds it may seem useless... or quite useful, depending on the opponent and when to use it." Snake stated as the girls listened, but in a way, Big Boss said this to himself. It was true that CQC might seem useless on some occasions against opponents with weapons such as swords or scythes, but also in close combat could be useful. He was no longer on Earth, and the CQC techniques could be a great advantage for Boss.
But after thinking that through, he mentally shook his head and watched the rest of the team. "Well, who wants to be next?" He asked to RWB.
Ruby shrugged when Snake turned to see her, then he looked at Weiss, while keeping both arms crossed, as her expression clearly says 'NO', and Blake just shook her head, because she didn't wanted to be defeated like Yang.
Snake sighed when he saw the girl's answers. "Then I guess it will be everything." It was almost 10 minutes since they arrived at the training room and in a way, although he said they would train, in the end only Snake fought with Yang and Ruby, but he didn't train with them.
"Maybe you should teach DD some CQC techniques too." Said Yang joking with a small laugh.
Ruby giggled at the idea. "It would be funny to see him use his paws to hit someone."
"I wouldn't worry about that." Said Snake and soon Yang and Ruby's giggles stopped.
"Uh... why?" Asked Ruby a little confused (like the others) before that comment.
Snake didn't respond, instead, he took his knife, and looked at the wolf. "DD, catch."
Boss said after throwing the knife into the air where the wolf was. DD jumped and managed to catch it with his mouth, while holding it by the handle, and soon positioned himself as if he were going to fight, so the wolf looked more threatening.
Yang and Ruby where surprised to see that, Weiss was shocked and Blake almost fainted when they saw that DD catched and took the knife with his mouth. Basically Snake show them that DD was trained to use a knife.
"Just like the FOXHOUND emblem." Said Snake in his mind.
"That. Is. Soo. COOL!" Said Ruby with a big smile on her face.
"Dear Monty, that evil beast knows how to use weapons!" Blake screamed inside her head, although in her thoughts the faunus girl exaggerated what she had just seen.
"W-why someone would train a wolf to use a knife?" Weiss said surprised and slightly terrified to see what she considered an 'adorable puppy' to look like a dangerous beast, a well-trained beast.
"Just in case." Big Boss answered, as he leaned a little and extended his hand to DD. The wolf saw this and approached, returning the knife in his hand. Big Boss and RWBY later went to the exit, returning one more time to the long hallways of the school. "Well, I guess that's all for now, see you later."
"Wait, where are you going Snake?" Ruby asked after hearing that and noticing that Snake was going to go to the opposite side of the hallway.
"I'll work a little on my weapons." Snake said, he still had to finish preparing the ammunition for his two new weapons made by him.
"Okay, we'll see you later then." Said Ruby to her male teammate. "C'mon DD."
The wolf barked and followed team RWBY. Despite having little time getting to know the girls, D-Dog quickly got used to live with them and in a way was fond of them, even with Blake although she was afraid of the canine animal.
Snake and the girls of team RWBY said goodbye, taking different paths.

Beacon's Armory.
Once again, Big Boss was in the Armory, or more precisely, the room in which any student could enter to modify, improve or repair their weapons, of course, if they knew how to do it. At that time, 20 minutes since he saw for last time team RWBY, Snake was checking on his new weapons, which were a pump-action shotgun and an under-barrel shotgun for his M4, in case he needed to switch between a rifle and a shotgun quickly.
Snake was standing in front of a table with his weapons in it, and now he was working on the ammunition. Speaking of ammunition, Snake already had a special ammunition for his principal shotgun, which was incendiary ammo made of Dust. Which was not as expensive as he thought, but not so cheap. Snake was still working on normal ammo, until ...
"He-lloooo Nekyyy~!" Said a female in a sing-song voice coming from the door.
Boss turned to see at the door and the girl, where he saw a familiar blond girl standing there.
"Hey Yang? What brings you here?" Asked Snake to the girl.
"Oh y'know... I was just walkin' close by and decided to come visit you." Yang answered with a smile, although in reality she was lying, because she had the intention of being alone with Snake and now it was the perfect moment.
"Okay... well, it's a nice gesture from you." Snake answered, in a rather calm voice.
Yang kept her smile, and decided to take a chair and sit next to Snake, but giving him enough space to work. Although slowly her smile disappeared, she wanted to ask him something.
"So... that's your new weapon, huh? It has a pretty... interesting design, although I've never seen you use a melee weapon besides your knife." Said Yang. Usually she knew how to talk to a guy but at that moment she felt that the words would get stuck in her throat.
"I could say that I'm used to it, I've seen here are people with swords or things like that, but that's not my style, I wouldn't feel comfortable." Snake explained as he kept his eyes on his weapons.
Although it wasn't a bad idea to have a larger melee weapon, the idea of thinking about himself using a sword like Blake or Weiss or a scythe like Ruby made it ridiculous. It was not something for him.
"I see..." Yang replied dryly. She noticed how Snake didn't took off his eyes from his weapons and from what apparently she noticed, Snake was making his own ammunition. It was not something that drew so much her attention, but it was weird, but seeing him so focused on his weapons reminded her of Ruby.
Once again there was silence. Yang turned to see her hands, which were together, she still felt a little nervous. But without waiting much longer, she turned to see Snake with a determined look.
"Snake, there's something I have to ask you." She said in a serious voice, and her expression was the same, she wasn't angry but she was not smiling either.
"What is it?" Snake asked, this time turning to see the blonde girl, Boss noticed that her tone of voice was more serious, so he decided to give her more attention.
"You said that... well, you never had family, right? Besides your Mentor, I mean." Snake nodded when he heard the question. "I wanted to ask you... you've never been interested in knowing who your family was? Or find them? Where were they or if at least they were alive? Or why you never meet them?"
Snake hummed, as if he was thinking his answer. "Being honest, when I was younger sometimes I thought about it, but I was never interested in knowing about a father or a mother, In fact, I never really cared about someone else." Snake answered, it's not like at that moment something like family was relevant to him.
Yang heard Snake's response, it was sad, because unlike her, he didn't even have a father, at least she had her father, Taiyang, and her younger sister Ruby, but Snake? He only had his Mentor, but she died. But still, Snake was okay with that, not exactly happy but not sad or bitter about it, in a way she envies that.
"Why you wanted to know that?" Snake asked, because he was curious to know why she wanted to ask that.
"You see... Ruby and I grew up in Patch, an island off the coast of Vale. Our parents were Huntsmen. Our dad taught at Signal, and our mom took on missions around the kingdom. Her name was Summer Rose, and she was, like... Super-Mom: Baker of cookies and slayer of giant monsters. And then... one day she left for a mission and never came back." Yang explained in a sad tone of voice, while looking at the ground.
"I'm sorry to hear that..." Said Boss in sympathy.
"It was tough... Ruby was really torn up, but... I think she was still too young to really get what was going on, y'know? And my dad just kind of... shut down. It wasn't long before I learned why. Summer wasn't the first love he lost... she was the second. The first... was my mom."
"Then... Summer was Ruby's mother, but she was your stepmother, right?" Snake said since, that would explain why they didn't share a surname and they didn't look alike at all.
"Yup... My father wouldn't tell me everything, but I learned that the two of them had been on a team together with Summer and my uncle, and that she'd left me with him right after I was born. No one had seen her since."
"I guess I understand why you were asking me that. You want to know where your mother is and why she left you, right?"
"That question has always been in my mind... Why? I didn't know an answer, but I was determined to find out. It was all I thought about. I would ask anyone I could about what they knew about her."
Yang got up from the chair, and she got to the opposite side of the table where Snake was. She took a bullet from the incendiary ammo for Snake's shotgun, while her eyes focused on the red Dust that was showed inside the shell.
"Then, one day, I found something. What I thought was a clue that could lead me to answers, or maybe even my mother. I waited for Dad to leave the house, put Ruby in a wagon, and headed out. I must've walked for hours. I had cuts and bruises, I was totally exhausted, but I wasn't gonna let anything stop me. When we finally got there, I could barely stand, but I didn't care; I had made it. And then I saw them. Those burning red eyes..."
As Yang said those last three words, Yang approached the Dust's fire bullet to Snake, which he took with his hand and like her, he saw the intense red color inside the shell. The burning red color, just like Grimm eyes.
"There we were: A toddler sleeping in the back of a wagon and a stupid girl too exhausted to even cry for help. We might as well have been served on a silver platter. But, as luck would have it, our uncle showed up just in time. My stubbornness should've gotten us killed that night."
"And I suppose since then you didn't try to look for your mother anymore, did you?"
"No, I still wanted to... I still WANT to know where my mother is or why she left me and my dad, but I learned that that shouldn't control me." Yang concludes, and then let out a deep breath. She remembered when she went to the Junior's Club and basically everything ended really bad... for him and his establishment.
Snake walked around the table, to approach Yang and place his hand on her shoulder. "It's okay Yang, I'm sure one day you'll find her." Said Boss.
"You think so?"
"Sure... The world is small, you can meet all kinds of people, and surely when you least expect it, you will meet with your mother." Said Snake with sympathy in his voice and a small but friendly smile on his face. In a way he said it because, Big Boss didn't think he would meet his son-clone Solid Snake when he joined FOXHOUND, but even so, he told Solid Snake that he was his father in Zanzibar Land in 1999, before he was defeated by him.
Yang couldn't help but smile at those words. She felt that Snake radiated confidence, because she remembered that days ago he and Blake spoke alone in the night. About what? She didn't know, but she could understand that Snake really was someone different. And even though Yang wouldn't go around telling her personal problems to anyone, she was definitely glad to have told Snake about her mom. Yang really trusted him.
"You really are different from the rest." Yang expressed. With the word 'others' she was referring to other boys, who were only interested in her body or how beautiful she was, not on how she was in mind.
"What you mean?" Boss asked without understanding what she was referring to.
"Ohh nothing.~" She said in a sing-song voice. "Well, I guess it's time to go." Yang said one more time as she was walking to the door.
"I see, well, I'll see you later." Snake answered, and once more began to work on the ammo.
"Sure, but before I leave..." The blonde murmured and stopped at that moment, to return to where Snake was, to approach his face, and to give him a soft kiss on the cheek, which lasted long 6 seconds. When she finished and separated from him, Snake turned to see her, only to find a slight blush on the blonde's face.
"That was for listening to me." She answered, keeping that smile on her face.
"It's okay Yang, we're friends." Said Boss with a small smile.
"Yep, we are." Yang answered keeping her smile. "See you later."
And with that said, the lilac-eyed girl left the room, and Snake went back to work. While he still remembered what she had said, he felt a little sorry for her, but even so, she should continue her life. And he too. Continue his life, his new life in Remnant.

Team RWBY+S dorm room. 10:45 PM.
After the training session (that in reality wasn't a training session, Big Boss just end up showing some CQC techniques to team RWBY and he beated Ruby and Yang in the process) the girls went to their room to rest a bit, after the long day. It was already night and soon they would have to go to sleep.
Yang had left for a while and then returned, but no one questioned where she had gone.
And an hour later, Snake returned.
Big Boss, after returning to the bedroom, he went to use the shower, as always, he was showering at night, since often the girls bathed in the morning, although sometimes they did it at night to prevent Weiss to monopolize the bathroom for a long time.
While Snake was in the shower, the girls were waiting for him to come out, because they wanted to continue with what they left undone the other day.
"So... why are we still here?" Said the W of team RWBY to the rest, while she was in the chair of her desk, and not in her bed.
"Just to suffer?" Said the blonde brawler with a small grin.
"No! No that, I mean why are we here waiting for Snake." Weiss clarified after hearing again Yang's weird answer.
"We said this time we would ask Snake about his scars." The teamleader stated.
"And how do you expect us to ask him?" The heiress questioned.
"Well, we'll just tell him that Blake saw Snake the other day without his shirt." Ruby said.
"No!" The cat faunus almost cried out with a big blush when she heard what Ruby said.
"Why not?" Asked Ruby.
"You make me sound like I'm some kind of pervert who likes to spy on people." Blake stated.
"It is not a lie at all..." Yang murmured with a small grin, remembering the collection of adult literature that the cat faunus had.
"So.. how do we ask him without... y'know... sound weird?" Ruby asked worried.
"We could subdue him between the four of us and take his shirt off." Yang suggested with a big grin.
"That is a terrible idea." Said the heiress.
After that comment, they heard that the water in the shower stopped, and that only meant one thing.
Snake opened the bathroom door, and he came out, as always, he wore his camouflage pants, his eye patch, his black long-sleeved combat shirt, and his bandana. When he came out, Boss noticed that the girls were already in their pajamas.
"I'm done, if someone else wants to use the bathroom." He said.
The girls were silent, while Snake went to his bed, only that while he was walking, Ruby stood in front of him, with both hands on her waist, and watching him with a scowl on her face. Although the idea of Ruby was to be intimidating, anyone would say that she actually looked adorable.
"Snake?" The leader began.
"Yeah, Ruby?"
"Why are you always wearing your shirt?"
"What you mean?"
"We've never seen you without wearing your shirt."
"Well, Ruby, as much as I would like to go naked around the room, I have to keep myself dressed in front of you." He said in a calm tone of voice.
Ruby, Blake and Weiss had a slight blush at the comment, while Yang let out a short laugh.
"That's not what I mean!" Ruby yelled.
"So?" The confused soldier asked.
"Wait, Ruby, I'll take care of it." Said Yang as she approached Ruby and put a hand on her younger sister's shoulder. To which Ruby nodded.
"Snake..." Said Yang.
"Yeah...?"
Then she smiled and pointed her finger at her faunus partner. "The other day Blake saw you naked and said you had many scars in your body."
And when she said that, Snake turned to see Blake.
"YANG!" The faunus cried out with a big blush in her face.
"So... you wanted to ask about my scars?" Big Boss asked.
"Yeah, sorry, but we were very curious about it." Ruby said with a nervous smile and a hand on the back of her neck. She was afraid it was a sensitive subject for Snake.
"So... How'd you get those?" Asked Yang.
"Well, it was basically during training and fights." And also one or five when he was caught and tortured in Groznyj Grad by Colonel Volgin.
"You didn't have Aura, that means the wounds were scarred." Weiss stated.
"That's right."
"So... can we see them?" Asked Yang with a big smile.
"What?"
"C'mon... We are just curious about it."
"Uhh..." Snake thought about it for a moment, though Yang was not the first blonde who wanted to see his scars. "I dunno." It was not usual for Snake to show his scars.
"I have no problem with that... I mean, if it doesn't bother you, of course." Said Blake with a small blush on her face. She had already seen his naked torso, and she was curious to see him again.
Ruby shrugged her shoulders and Weiss kept herself in the same position in the chair. Arms crossed and an expression that showed that she didn't care.
Snake sighed in defeat and decided to accept. "Fine..." And with that, Snake began to take off his shirt, while the girls watched with attention as slowly his skin was showed, and therefore, his scars.
The eyes of the girls, minus Blake, widened. First of all, it couldn't be denied that Snake had a well-formed body for someone of his age, with muscles in his arms and abdominal muscle, or six-pack, in his abdomen, after all, they saw something similar when he used his sneaking suit. And between the muscles, there were scars of various sizes, on the chest, arms, shoulders, stomach and back.
Ruby blushed to see Snake, it was the first time she saw a man like that, but she couldn't stop seeing the scars, and somehow she felt bad for making Snake show them like that, and her blush slowly disappeared, and she just thought that Snake had to fight a long time before he got to Beacon. She began to feel bad.
Weiss maintained a small blush unlike the others. She couldn't deny that Snake had a good body, but she couldn't stop herself to see the scars, and she thought that some didn't seem to get caused by Grimm, although Snake admitted that he got them in fights and training, she respected that, but even so, it looked weird, to her the scars didn't attract her attention, but it was interesting to see, not in an attractive way though.
Ruby felt bad and Weiss didn't care that much, but Blake and Yang on the other hand, they looked up and down Snake's body, even with scars, They thought he looked pretty sexy that way, Yang liked his body and his scars, since she liked that kind of things, while Blake related him to her book called 'Ninjas of Love', only that now she could see better his body. And both began to feel... weird, between her legs.
It only lasted about 30 seconds, and then Snake put his shirt back on. And after putting it on he saw the RWBY girls, Ruby looked worried, Weiss kept her same expression, Blake for some reason was bleeding from her nose and Yang was making a pout of annoyance.
"Well, I hope that was all." Said Snake as he walked to his bed. On the floor, next to his bed he found DD asleep.
"Good, it's time to sleep. Goodnight everyone." Said Ruby to her team, still a little worried about Snake.
"Goodnight." And everyone answered.
Although certain blond and raven haired girls would have trouble sleeping.

"Oz."
"Goodnight Qrow."
"Same, I thought I would call you if I discovered something about the matter that you told me to do."
"I know, I know you've been busy doing several things, about that and fighting against the Grimm in villages near Vale, but I wanted to tell you something."
"What's about?"
"There is a student at my school who entered at the last minute. He is a case... different from the others, he has more experience than any student."
"Uh-huh... And why are you telling me this? You don't want me to train him, do you?"
"No, in fact, he can fight like a first-class Huntsman, he even made the Initiation alone, killed several Beowolfs, one Ursa and even one Death Stalker. All by himself. And he didn't had his Aura unlocked then."
"It sounds impressive... and yet you say it as if it were nothing for him."
"Like I said, he's a special case, that's why I want to send him to a mission with you, I want you to evaluate him and tell me what you think."
"...Fine by me, lately the attacks on the villages have been more frequent, a liltle help wouldn't be bad though. If I have to go, I'll let you know so you can send this student."
"Thanks Qrow, and goodnight."

End of Chapter 11.
● Omake ●
Cats and dogs.
Another day in a world where apparently a tragedy always occurs but nobody does or says anything. But that was not the case (at the moment) for Beacon Academy. A school created to train the next generation of Huntsmen and blah blah blah you know the rest.
During that quiet day, the students were doing what any teenager would be doing, and no, it's not masturbating or playing games, well, probably it is. But they were simply resting after attending classes.
Well, all except one team: Team RWBY+S.
They were under a large tree looking at one of the big branches that it had. And why were they doing that? The answer is quite simple.
Blake was up there.
— l — l — l —
- Flashback -
The cat faunus girl was reading a new book, which she got after finishing the one she had read a few days ago, when she got inside Snake's cardboard box because she was depressed and Ruby was planning the Operation Acoustic Blakey.
As far as Blake had read, the book was about a disaster of unknown origin that affected Remnant, leaving the ecosystem damaged, even killing the Grimm, but this also affected the lives of humans, faunus and the kingdoms, and there was also a connection between the living and the dead. The name of the story was Death-.
*Woof!*
No, it wasn't Death Woof. It was Death Stra-.
Wait a minute...
Blake lower her book slowly, paled and scared with shock in her eyes to see where that sound came from. Then there she saw it, the most evil, wicked and cruel creature of this world, much worse than the Grimms.
D-Dog.
The wolf was in front of her just a few meters away, watching Blake with his only eye, while breathing through his mouth, with the toungue outside, his evil toungue. If it were for Blake, she would kill DD but there could be witnesses, so it was a bad idea, besides, maybe his vision was based on movement, if she stayed still, the wolf wouldn't notice her.
But the wolf barked once more.
*Woof!*
And that was enough for Blake to disappear quickly, leaving her book on the floor while she was on the branch of the tree. While DD, curious to see that, approached the tree.
- End of the Flashback. -
— l — l — l —
"So according to you, DD wanted to attack you and you decided to hide... up there?" Said Weiss, noting the absurdity of the situation right now.
Meanwhile, Yang was on the grass rolling while laughing like some crazy woman about the situation.
"I'm serious! That thing wanted to kill me! I could see it in his evil eyes! I mean, eye!" Blake cried out from the tree.
"Blake, you're exaggerating, DD is well trained, in fact I doubt he has seen any cat in his life, I don't think he wants to hurt you." Said Big Boss.
"Also, everyone likes DD." Said Ruby.
And when she said that, casually Nora and Jaune were walking nearby, and both turned to see the wolf.
"Hey DD! Good to see you!" Said the blond leader to the wolf, while waving his hand.
"Call me!" Nora said as she formed her hand as if it were a phone. Why she wanted a wolf to talk to her? No one would know... well, maybe Ren.
"See?" Said Ruby one more time.
"I don't care! Snake, please take him away!" Blake pleaded from the branch.
"C'mon Blake, he won't bite you, come down." Said Boss.
"NO!"
"Maybe we should call the fire department..." Said Weis as she facepalmed.
The End.
(A/N)
And here goes another chapter. This time it took me a lot longer, but I guess I should explain myself, if someone is going to read this and is wondering what happend.
■ Why did it take so long with this episode? ■
Well, surely you will be wondering why I didn't upload another chapter so soon, I will not give excuses so I'll say it fast.
● Personal problems.
● Occupations with my daily life.
● Writer's Block.
The last one is because I didn't think much about this episode, since I don't want to move forward and make it fast, or just 'Copy and paste' the RWBY episodes, because if I do that, in less than 15 chapters I would already be in Volume 5 or 4, and I want to be a little more original, tell other stories with Snake with the RWBY characters, and not the whole story of RWBY with Snake as an additional character.
And as you know, at this moment the Fanfic is between the end Volume 1 and the beginning of Volume 2. I also want to change the story a little bit to make it less predictable so you the readers don't say 'This is going to happen'.
■ About MGS Characters... again. ■
And once again I'll talk about the MGS characters, and I say this because a lot of people want to see characters like Otacon or Raiden, especially Raiden, but I'm sorry, they will not have an appearance here.
Why? Because I thought it had been pretty clear but I'll say it. There will be no ALIVE characters, my idea is that Remnant works as "A world after life", because in fact I will give an explanation to why Snake and Ocelot are in Remnant, but I will not say anything because Spoilers. But hey, I'm sorry if you wanted to see Raiden.
■ So who will be the next character to arrive Remnant? ■
Obviously I won't say who this character is, but I think he/she is a character that in my opinion deserves another chance to live, and in fact I want that thanks to this character's appearance the story of RWBY will change a little. So if you want, guess who this character is because it will NOT appear soon.
■ I will make other Fanfictions? ■
Yes, you read well, I've been thinking of ideas to make other Fanfiction Xovers, since I'd really like to make other stories besides this one, but they're just ideas.
My ideas were.
● Halo x RWBY.
● Rainbow Six Siege x RWBY.
● Another MGS x RWBY.
● Mass Effect x RWBY.
● Army of Two x RWBY.
It may sound boring that all of those are Xovers with RWBY but I feel that the story with RWBY can be interesting. But as I said, those are ideas that I may not use soon, because for now with only one Fanfic I'm busy, maybe when this one is over.
Edit: I also added Mass Effect and Army of Two because because I love Mass Effect but i hated Andromeda, fucking EA, and I also liked AoT but again, they fucked up with The Devils Cartel, and there are not so manye Xovers about RWBY x AoT.
And well, thats all for now. Remember to put this story in favorite and follow!
See you in the next chapter!
