(A/N)
I just realised I always wrote "SemblEnce" instead of "SemblAnce, fuck I'm an idiot haha.
Anyway, I decided to be more careful with my grammar and I started using the Google App to check spelling mistakes. In addition, I already checked the first 3 episodes, and episode 18, so I will make revisions in the other chapters.
Also, Happy New Year! I hope you had a nice Christmas. Santa brought me carbon so I was planning to kill him. But anyway.

Nothing else to say, let's go!

Chapter 19
After returning to Beacon Academy, and avoiding being almost killed by team RWBY, Snake could finally take a short break. It had really been a peculiar experience to be with Raven - Yang's mother. Big Boss had finally returned home, however, that doesn't mean that everything was fine.
It was already dinner time, and that is to say that some students were in the cafeteria of the Academy, At that moment, team JNPR and team RWBY+S were at the same table. The team JNPR members were surprised to see Snake again that same night, since at noon the girls seemed worried about him and he was nowhere to be seen.
But the problem is that they could see that the RWBY girls seemed quite angry while they ate, to the point that they seemed not to want to maintain eye contact with someone else. While on the other hand, Snake was eating quietly, the problem was that he was two empty chairs away from the girls, besides that on his face it could be seen that Boss seemed to have scratches on his face, as if a cat had scratched and hit him.
"Uhh... did something happen between you?" Pyrrha was the first to ask, she was smiling nervously, since she felt that something bad would happen if she said the wrong word.
"Nothing." The girls responded, along with a 'Hpmh!' and without looking at Snake.
Snake on the other hand could only let out a sigh, because he understood why they were angry... well, almost. Boss thought they were angry because Raven decided to kiss him to annoy him. And that made Yang angry, what the girls supported the blonde, since it's her mother, so they saw that as a low blow by Snake.
Of course, that is only half the truth, because on the other hand, the girls did not like the idea of seeing the boy with whom they have a crush being kissed by another girl, much less Yang's mother, which it made team RWBY almost kill Big Boss.
Soon Snake felt his scroll vibrate in his pocket for a moment. When he took the device he saw that it was an Ozpin message, the message said that he should appear in his office. By that time Snake had already eaten his dinner, so he planned to leave.
"Well, I think I'll-" Snake notice that the girls were no longer there. He was looking at the scroll in a moment and then they left without making noise. "...leave."
"They really seem angry, did something happen?" Asked Ren, his tone was calm but also kind.
"It would be complicated to explain." Snake answered in a simple tone. Snake didn't want to be rude, but he couldn't say that Yang's mother kissed him in front of her.
"You better think of somethin', otherwise they could kill you while you sleep." Said Nora, in a simple way and even with a smile.
Snake let out a dry laugh when he heard that. "You're right Nora. Take care guys." Snake said as he left and went out of the cafeteria.
"...Or he could prepare the wedding rings, that would be okay too." Nora said, while chewing her food.
"Nora..."
"Right, right, sorry Ren."
— l — l — l —
Having arrived at the office. Big Boss gave an explanation to Ozpin and Ocelot of what happened. Or at least a partial explanation. Boss didn't tell everything that happened or everything he talked to Raven.
"John, It's good to know that you are well, in spite of everything that happened." Said Ozpin, while sitting on his desk. "I'm sorry I couldn't do more while you were out of the Academy."
"There is no reason to say anything. I didn't expect someone to come looking for me, after all I was in Anima." Snake answered, he was being honest.
"I see... thank you." Answered Ozpin, then he took a sip of his coffee.
"So this woman, Raven, used you to approach Yang?" Ocelot asked.
"I didn't think Raven was going to notice her daughter." Ozpin said, getting Snake and Ocelot's attention. "As far as I remember, her brother told me that she had no reason to return with her husband or daughter."
"Her brother?" Ocelot asked, but his question was ignored.
"John, tell me, is there anything else you and Raven talked about? Did she tell you something else?" Ozpin asked.
"Well, as I said, she wanted me to join her tribe, and the fight we had was to test me. But in the end she wanted to see Yang." Snake stated, it wasn't all but it was the truth. "Tell me, where do you know her? You mentioned her brother."
Ozpin stood up for a moment, and turned around, to see the black, empty sky through the window. "I can't give you all the details. But I can tell you this... Raven was a student here, an exceptional one, along with her team."
(Team STRQ...) Snake said in his head.
"I noticed the skills of her team, team STRQ, and when the time was right, I asked them to help me with special missions." Ozpin explained.
"What kind of missions?" Ocelot asked.
Ozpin let out a long sigh before answering, then he turned to see them. "It is a complicated situation, you could say that I had them as agents, but as time went by they decided to abandon this, only one of them is still working with me." Ozpin replied, it was half the truth.
"Agents for what? Missions against whom?" Snake asked.
"I can't tell you, at least not right now. But I want to be honest. You two are from another world, but you are quite strong and skilled, either as soldiers or spies. And that is why I want you to help me." Ozpin explained. "Of course I don't expect you to help me against something I haven't told you, but I want you to at least consider it."
Big Boss and Ocelot exchanged glances, clearly there were doubts about what Ozpin said.
"I have a friend in the Atlesian army, General James Ironwood, he will come in a few days, by the time the dance happens. I would like you to know him and explain your... situation, to him. I will also tell you all about this 'work', but I will not force you to accept these terms."
"An Atlesian General..." Snake said, he remembered that name.
"For me it's fine, after all it's better to have more people about this job." At least to be sure that nothing bad will happen later, Ocelot thought.
"Mhh... fine. After all, we can decide whether or not we accept, but we'll keep it on mind... once we hear it." Snake stated.
"Thank you. Gentlemen, this would be all for today. Feel free to go." Said Ozpin with a small smile.
Snake and Ocelot nodded and soon retreated to the elevator. The doors closed and the elevator began to descend.
"What do you think?" Ocelot asked.
"I don't like it... Raven told me that I couldn't trust Ozpin, but she didn't give me a reason to trust her either." Snake answered in a calm tone. "What about you?"
"Same as you... But I wanted to take this opportunity to see that General." Ocelot answered. "There's something I would like to talk with him."
"Is it related to our 'situation'?" Snake asked.
"Yeah, more or less." Ocelot answered.
"By the way, what about Torchwick? Is he still there, in the basement?" Snake asked.
"No, in fact when everyone slept, a police Bullhead came to take him away. But we still have to deal with that Cinder girl." Ocelot answered. The elevator finally reached the first floor, and the doors opened. Ocelot and Snake walked down the hallway. "For now... we'll have to continue our roles."
"As if we had another option." Snake said with a short dry laugh. "See you tomorrow."
"Good night."
Ocelot and Snake said goodbye, and each one went down a different hallway. Now was when Snake had to deal with other issue.
— l — l — l —
Big Boss had returned to the dorm room, and upon entering he noticed that the place was quite calm. The girls, besides DD and Zwei were there, but nothing interesting or out of the ordinary was happening. Snake decided to break the ice and decided to talk to Ruby first. She was using her scroll to read a comic, while staying on her bed.
"Hey Ruby, how you doin'?" Snake asked the team leader.
"Hpmh!" Ruby just ignored you, while trying to avoid eye contact. Although she tried to look angry, she just pouted a little while not looking at the mercenary.
"Okay..." Snake said. Ruby clearly didn't want to talk, so he decided to deal with the next person.
Blake was also quiet, she was reading a book entitled 'Ninjas of Love' on her bed.
"Hey Blake." Snake told the faunus girl. However Blake simply ignored the mercenary, as if he did not existed in that moment. That made two, there were only two other attempts left.
The next attempt was Weiss. The heiress was sitting on a chair, in front of a desk and it seemed she was doing her homework, although in reality she was writing the word 'jerk' several times in her notebook, but Snake was not able to see that from his position.
"Um, Weiss?" Snake asked.
But quickly Weiss gave a quick and overwhelming response. "DIE."
"What?" Snake just asked when he heard that from Weiss' mouth.
"Oh my, I'm sorry, I said that suddenly without thinking." Weiss replied with an apparent calm smile on her face.
"Uh right... But how can you say that suddenly just like that?" Boss asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I used the wrong words, I apologize, what I meant is... why are you still breathing, Naked Snake?" Weiss stated, while staring icy daggers at Boss. Her gaze showed disgust and her tone was firm and cold against Snake.
"Okay, okay, I understand that you're all mad at me for what happened, but it wasn't my fault." Snake explained, without hesitation in his tone of voice.
It was then when Yang interfered, with slight anger in her tone of voice. "Snake, my mother whom I barely got to know gave you a kiss! How you think I feel about that!? Besides, it seems that you were enjoying it, you didn't even put resistance. Besides, you were with her at the night."
"Maybe you're jealous, Yang?" Snake asked, in an apparently innocent way.
The girls when they heard that were surprised. But it was Yang who had a more noticeable reaction. The blonde blushed a little when she heard what Boss said, so she began to complain in a somewhat childish tone.
"What!? Jealous!? Do you think I'm jealous because my mom gave you a kiss!?" Yang complained.
"Oh no, I was referring to the fact that I met her before you and I was with her yesterday." Snake calmly explained. "I didn't mean the kiss."
"Ah! That! Is just-! Ahg!" Yang tried to answer after saying those words that left the blonde brawler in evidence.
"What Yang means is that we were worried about you. We thought something bad had happened to you and it turns out that you were with Yang's mother. All. The. Night." This time Blake said. Her tone was serious and scolding.
"I know..." Snake said a little sorry while he had his hand on the back of his neck. "I didn't wanted to worry you, everythin' happened suddenly, and I looked for a way to come back soon."
"I'm sorry... I don't know if I can compensate you in any way." Said Boss. He spoke calmly but sounded determined. Boss didn't think he could do much, but he didn't wanted to make his teammates feel disappointed in him.
But upon hearing that, the girls turned to see each other, and for a moment they had the same idea, so they nodded to each other. It was the perfect opportunity to get information from Snake once and for all.
"If that's the case." Ruby said. "Then tell us the truth."
"The truth?" Snake asked.
"Professor Ocelot said that once you returned you could tell us the truth, whatever that is." Answered Weiss.
Big Boss widened his eye upon hearing Weiss's response. Snake knew what the girls meant. Boss could only let out a sigh. In a way he knew this day would come, he couldn't hide it forever. The problem was how the girls would take it. On the other hand the girls noticed Snake's expression, it seemed like something serious.
"What are you hiding from us?" Yang asked, with a small scowl in her face.
"Fine... I guess I'll have to tell you." Snake said while he lay on at one of the desks of the dorm room. "Well... I guess it would be easy to start by saying that I'm not who you think I am."
"What you mean, Snake?" Ruby asked. She, like the others, they showed confused expressions.
"For starters, my name is not Snake, or Naked Snake." Boss stated, to which the girls were surprised.
"I knew it!" Weiss shouted. "In no way would anyone be able to have such an absurd name."
"So... what's your real name?" Blake asked.
"My name is John... but some people called me Jack." Snake stated.
"Jack..." Yang muttered those words, while her eyes were widened. She heard that name before.
The girls were also surprised, as Yang previously mentioned a dream about someone who was called that way.
"But why did you say your name is Snake? Even in your ID it says you're Snake." Said Ruby.
"It's actually a code name. But Ozpin decided to give it to me when I got here." Snake explained.
"I don't understand why changing your name. Did you run away from where you came from? Where do you come from?" Weiss asked, clearly with interest, while her questions seem more as if she participated in an interrogation.
"Well, that would be the second. You see... I'm not from here."
"You mean from Vale?" Ruby asked.
"I mean Remnant. I am not from Remnant." Snake clarified.
Upon hearing that, the girl's eyes widened but they also had expressions of confusion after hearing what their male teammate said.
"You are kidding, right? Are you saying you weren't born in this world? Like an alien?" Blake asked, stunned and confused.
"That's right... I'm from a world called Earth, I was born in a place called United States of America." Boss stated.
Hearing that the eyes of Blake, Ruby and Weiss widened. They remembered also that Yang had said that name the night before. And it didn't seem that Snake was lying, in fact they didn't remember that Snake ever lied, he simply denied everything. RWB(Y) turned to see Yang, who had the same expression on her face.
"The United States of America...? I think Yang-"
"So you're saying you're from another world, no you're not lying, right? Or is it a stupid joke?" Said Yang, interrupting Ruby on purpose so she wouldn't say anything about Yang's dream.
Snake nodded. "Yeah."
"Now that I think about it... it makes sense." Everyone turned to see Weiss, since it was she who said that. "I remember that device you have to listen to music. In one occasion you left it on the desk, I took it and listened to a few songs. Those were songs that I had never heard, even though I searched on the Extranet for those songs based on the lyrics. I never found anything. The same for the brand, says it had been created by someone or something called Sony."
The rest of the team was surprised to hear that, especially since it came from Weiss. Usually she would say that it was absurd, but noting that the smartest girl in school gave reason to something that sounded completely absurd made them believe that maybe Snake was telling the truth.
"But do you have anything else to prove you're from another world?" Blake asked, still doubting a little what Snake said.
Snake didn't answer, at least not with his voice. Instead, he decided to do the same as Ocelot when he met Ozpin. Snake took the iDroid, and soon began to project something circularly. The girls were surprised to see that device, it was not a scroll but it seemed to have similar functions. It was not until that circular form began to have quite strange formations, as if they were continents.
"What is that?" Said Ruby while looking at the hologram.
"That is the Earth." Snake stated. "And this is an iDroid, it's like a scroll but it has other functions."
"It's still hard to believe... But I remember that when you arrived you didn't have Aura." Ruby mentioned that.
"Besides, you seemed to be a little ignorant in some things..." Said Weiss, as she remembered that Snake said he didn't knew the name 'Schnee' and it's weight.
"Okay, so you're saying you're from another world, how did you end up here?" Yang asked, unlike the others, she was the one who felt that Snake was telling the truth.
"I don't know, I just woke up in the Emerald forest, that's when you appeared, and then we came to Beacon, and I told Ozpin what happened."
"Hold on! Professor Ozpin knows about this!? And he believed you!?" Asked Blake. She, like the others knew that Ozpin was someone intelligent. In no way would he be fooled by such an absurd lie... unless it was true.
Snake just nodded. Then he turned off the hologram showing the Earth's projection.
The girls on the other hand could barely digest what Snake had said to them. It was hard to believe, but they felt he was telling the truth. It was really weird to think that their teammate is someone from another world or dimension.
"And then, this Earth, how is it? Is it the same as Remnant?" Ruby was the first to ask, she was a little curious about what Snake was saying.
"There is not so much difference but there are a couple of important things. The first is that there are no Grimm on Earth." Snake stated.
Hearing that the girls widened and gasped in surprise upon hearing what Boss had said.
"No Grimm?" Yang asked.
"Impossible! The Grimm exist everywhere!" Weiss almost shouted.
"But he's from another world so... that would make sense." Said Ruby.
"And what else it would be?" Blake asked.
"Another thing is that there are no faunus. Only humanity." Snake said.
That was what most perhaps surprised, especially Blake, thinking of a world without faunus seemed the wet dream of any racist.
"No faunus...?" Blake muttered, shocked.
"A world without Grimm... sounds like it is a world at peace." Said Ruby,, she liked the idea of thinking that maybe in Remnant the same thing could happen one day, that the Grimm would be erased from the world.
"Not exactly." They all gave Snake curious and confused looks. "You see, in my world there have always been differences, people who saw things in a way, but would not accept that other people saw it differently. And that has always led to war."
The girls hearing that seem quite interested in what he said.
"You say... have you participated in a war?" Ruby asked.
"In a few, yeah."
"A few? How many wars have there been on Earth?" Asked Weiss.
"It would be hard to tell you how many there have been. When I was a kid, the world had just come out of its worst war. It was called World War II."
"World War ll?" Asked Blake.
"It was a war that was fought mostly on a continent called Europe, where almost every nation in the world fought, lasting six years. In the end the dead were between 70 to 85 million people, soldiers and civilians alike." Snake stated. He sounded calm because for him it was nothing more than ancient history of his old world.
On the other hand, the girls had a face of complete horror upon hearing that a six-year war claimed so many lives.
"Oh my gods... That's almost the population of Remnant." Said Weiss, horrified and disgusted.
"How did something like that happen?" Asked Yang, same expression as Weiss.
"Racial ideology, expansionism, radical nationalism, discrimination and racism." Snake answered.
"Discrimination? Racism? But you said they're all humans!" Blake said, almost shouting.
"That is why the war occurred, some opposed those ideologies where some were on top of others. But in the end the war ended, and the world was at peace, at least for a moment."
"What you mean?" Asked Weiss, a little more relaxed.
"After the end of World War II, the world was split into two - East and West. This marked the beginning of the era called the Cold War." Snake answered.
"The Cold War? Was it some kind of war in a cold place?" Ruby asked.
"No Ruby, it was a strategic, economic and ideological struggle between the superpowers that emerged after the World War ll. Those were the Soviet Union and the United States of America."
"So it wasn't exactly a war, but at some point another war could start. A third World War." Weiss deduced.
"That's right, even though there was no global war, there were still smaller-scale conflicts around the world. By the time I was 15 I was in my first war." Snake explained to the girls.
"Wait, wait, 15? Did you participate in a war when you were still a child?" Said Blake, surprised but in a sad way.
"Yeah, Since I had no family or anywhere else to go, I had no problem enlisting in the army." Snake explained. "I wasn't interested in anything at that time, I just wanted to serve my country, die for my country if necessary. At least until I met her."
"Her...?" Ruby asked.
"My mentor. She had fought in World War ll, and was considered the best soldier of her time. In fact, many believed that it was thanks to her that the allies won the war. She was also known as the Mother of Special Forces. I knew her as 'The Boss'."
Yang had her eyes widened, and she felt a chill run down her back when she heard that name again. The girls for a moment turned to see Yang as it was just what she told them last night.
"Snake, what are you saying is true? You're not lying to us, right?" Asked Blake, she didn't know why but she felt that the room was getting uncomfortable, as if something bad was going to happen.
"Blake, I know I haven't been honest with all of you. But I promise I'm not lying in any way." Big Boss said in a calm but serious tone.
"So, you met The Boss, what happened next?" Asked Ruby, she was curious about that woman.
"We spent years together since I was young, she taught me everything I knew, things like combat, weaponry, survival, espionage, destruction, psychology." Snake explained.
"I suppose that in your training you were taught to eat snakes." Yang mentioned.
"Rather I was taught to get food of any kind in places like jungles or forests." Snake clarified.
"What happened after?" Blake asked, she like the others showed more interest.
"We were together for a couple of years, until she had to leave to participate in an important mission. Well... I was left alone, and we would not see each other until years later."
The girls noticed that Boss seemed to get a little more tense, he kept calm but seemed to get a little more serious.
"When did you see her again?" Weiss asked.
"When I saw her again I was participating in an Operation in the Soviet Union, things went more and there was almost a war between America and the Soviet Union." At that moment Snake let out a great sigh. "Then... It was when Operation Snake Eater started."
Yang upon hearing that tensed a little. While Ruby, Weiss and Blake got a little confused at the name.
"Operation: Snake Eater?" Ruby asked confused.
"It was a mission carried out to eliminate a rogue soviet Colonel named Volgin, and destroy a new experimental weapon named 'The Shagohod'. If I failed to complete the mission, a war would begin between the two missions."
"Were you alone in enemy territory? It must have been difficult." Blake said softly, but surprised.
"It was difficult, to the point where they shot and tortured me." Snake answered.
Hearing that, the eyes of Blake, Ruby and Weiss widened.
It was then when Ruby understood. "Then... those scars..."
"Yeah... Those are scars that I got when I was tortured, others by combat. In fact it was Ocelot who shot me in the eye." Snake answered calmly.
"Wait! Ocelot!? Professor Ocelot!?" Weiss almost shouted.
"Yup, he's also from my world. When we met we were enemies, and he tried to kill me several times, but at the end the time made us allies, and friends." Snake said with a small smile.
The girls were surprised to hear that. Weiss, Yang and Blake couldn't understand how Snake could forgive Ocelot after that, even though Yang knew it was an accident, but they thought it was due to his kindness. Ruby on the other hand liked the idea of an old enemy becoming a friend, Although Ocelot tried to kill him, it seemed that there is always the possibility of having a new ally.
"And you manage to beat Volgin by yourself?" Ruby asked, a little more excited.
"Of course I was not alone. At my side I had my former superior, Major Zero, giving me radio support, together with Para-Medic, an expert in medicine, as well as animals and land, and Sigint, a weapons expert." Snake stated.
"Looks like you had your own team, even if you were alone." That came from Blake.
"Well, I was not alone all the time, there was also a spy giving me support and assistance, her name was EVA." Snake answered, feeling a little awkward to remember her.
"And tell me Snake, how was she?" Yang asked, raising an eyebrow and keeping arms crossed. "Physically speaking too."
"Well, uhh... Well, she was an enemy spy so she tended to act somewhat flirtatious..." Snake answered,feeling a little weird when talking about her. "And physically... she was blonde and back then she was young."
Listening to that and noticing how Snake seemed to feel somewhat nervous when he mentioned that girl EVA, the girls could not help show an expression of combination between anger and jealousy, accompanied by a pout. Also, Yang knew that this EVA girl used to dress in a way that showed her breasts quite a lot.
"Okay, so, you are saying that you were some kind of secret agent or soldier who fought against his enemies using some kind of Tactical Espionage, right?" Weiss stated.
Snake just nodded. "Uh-huh."
"And what does The Boss have to do with all this?" Blake asked.
Boss said nothing. It was not easy to talk about that, he even never told Ozpin about that. But he trusted girls, so he thought it was best to be honest.
"Remember that I said that one of the objectives of the mission was to stop Volgin and destroy the Shagohod?" The girls nodded. "Well... there was another objective. The other objective of my mission was... kill The Boss."
At that moment, when Snake said those words, the girls' eyes widened with the plates. They could not understand why Snake said that the woman who was like his mother should die at his hands.
"W-what you mean, Snake?" Ruby asked nervously.
"Before the start of Operation: Snake Eater, I had the mission of rescuing a scientist and taking him back to the United States. However, The Boss had defected in favor of the Soviet Union, and had stolen a weapon of mass destruction that Colonel Volgin used. The American government thought it was used by The Boss, so to prove they were innocent and avoid a large-scale war with the Soviet Union they decided that it was best to end her life... and I was the only one who could do it." Snake explained, his tone was cold and serious.
The girls didn't know what to say at that moment, all they could do was lower their heads.
"Before reaching her I had to fight her team, the Cobra team. They had been some kind of heroes during World War II. They were... formidable adversaries. But my hardest fight was with her." Snake explained.
Soon everyone's attention shifted to Yang, who seemed to have begun to cry a little. Yang had remembered everything she saw and heard, she had seen Snake's sad mission, and could not contain her tears. "I-I'm sorry... It's just that..."
"It's okay..." Snake just let out a sigh. "In the end... I ended her life, and returned to the United States, along with EVA... and the Philosophers' Legacy."
"The Philosophers' Legacy?" Weiss asked, but her tone sounded somewhat depressed.
"It was a large amount of funds raised by the United States, the Soviet Union and another country called China during World War ll. Colonel Volgin managed to get all that money and planned to use it for his own purposes." Snake explained.
"But in the end you managed to save the world from war... that was good, right...?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah... But it was not exactly as I expected. EVA and I were celebrating our victory, but when we were drinking she used a drug to make me fall asleep, to steal the Legacy." Snane stated.
"She betrayed you?" Blake asked, almost in a calm tone, but soon, like the other girls, she began to hate that girl EVA, even more.
"She was actually a spy from China. And his mission was to get the Legacy. But despite everything, that was not... it was not the worst of what I found out." Snake stated, then his tone was sounded grim, probably for the first time. "EVA... she told me that the reason for The Boss' defection was because her mission was actually to get the Legacy, for that The Boss had to gain Volgin's trust... but the plans changed when they ordered me to kill her."
Weiss understood what Snake meant. "Then... that means..."
"The government had to get rid of The Boss to get the Legacy and avoid a war, and they thought I was the right man for the job. But in reality, it had been nothing more than a show, she would be remembered as a traitor, when in reality she was always loyal to America until the end... a true patriot."
The girls couldn't help sñshow an expression of sympathy and sadness. The Boss had given her life for what she believed, and Snake implied that she and he were used by his government, as if they were puppets, just for money.
"In the end they gave me the title of Big Boss, for being a hero who stopped a war and surpassed The Boss."
"Big Boss...?" Ruby asked, in a low tone of voice, while wiping some tears.
"I didn't feel like a hero, I felt like a pawn... I had nothing else to do in the United States... so I left FOX and the country." In the end, Snake showed an expression of sadness. For the girls, she was an expression girl, the always confident, kind and cheerful Snake now showing himself in a deplorable and depressed way showed how he was affected by the death of his mentor.
"When..." Yang began to talk again, she wiped away some tears. "When all of this happened, how old were you...?"
"About that... Well, there is no other way to say it... when all that happened I was 29 years old." Snake answered, but his tone of voice was still the same.
"Wait... what do you mean by that? You don't seem older than 21 years." That came from Weiss, her expression was the same as the other girls.
"When I got here to Remnant... I don't know how or why, but I was young again. The truth is that when I was on Earth I was an adult... I was 79 years old." Snake stated with a sigh.
Hearing that, the girls were quite surprised, and not in a good way. Hearing that they were creeped out. Not even Yang knew that. For a moment the sadness of hearing that story vanished.
"Y-you are an old man!?" Blake almost shouted.
"Yeah..." Snake let out a sigh. "I know that maybe it's the most absurd thing I've said this night, but it's the truth."
"Are you a 79 year old man in a young body!? And you didn't even tell us that at first!?" That came from Weiss, soon feeling that it was a mistake to have Snake up close.
"I know I didn't tell you anything at first, I didn't know how you would take it." Snake answered calmly.
But instead, the only thing he received was uncomfortable looks from the girls. That reaction was normal, because they discovered that their teammate is actually someone who could well be their grandfather. Boss couldn't blame them.
"Well... I understand if you feel uncomfortable or if you distrust me after what I said. If it makes you feel better, I will sleep somewhere else." Snake answered, his tone was calm, but slightly sad.
In the end Big Boss walked away from the wooden desk and began to walk towards the door, without looking at anyone, while thinking he could ask Ozpin for a free room to sleep. However, someone took Boss by the hand and stopped him before he was able to grab on the door knob. Boss turned to see who it was.
It was Ruby. Her expression was like that of a sad puppy, in addition to letting out some tears.
"Ruby...?" Snake asked.
Ruby at that moment approached, and hugged him. She had her face on Snake's chest. "I don't care... I don't care if you come from another world, if your name is John, if you're an old man or if you are Big Boss... for me you'll always be Snake. My teammate... and one of my best friends."
Snake's eye widened upon hearing that. Despite everything he said, he could not help but show a small, but gentle and warm smile, in addition to bringing his hand to the head of the young reaper. "Thanks Ruby."
The girls were surprised to see Ruby say that. But they remembered that it was part of the kindness of their team leader, that was when they remembered that despite that, Snake was his friend and teammate.
"Ruby's right... even though you're an old man, you're still our badass cardboard box lover." Said Yang, this time with a more friendly tone.
"It's true, that won't change who you are." That came from Blake, feeling that she would be a hypocrite if she rejected Boss after what she revealed to him and the rest of the team.
"Well... you look young... and if you wanted to try something weird you would have done it before... so I have no choice but to trust you." Weiss said in a complaining tone, she wasn't being quite honest, but she accepted that she trusted Snake, despite saying it in her tsundere attitude.
The others noticed Weiss's attitude, so they couldn't let out a small, simple laugh.
"Thank you, I know I wasn't completely honest with you, so if there is any way to make up for it, I'll do anything I can." Snake stated with a small smile.
That was when the girls were surprised to hear that, and soon the girls exchanged glances. Then the team RWBY girls said at the same time. "Anything...?"
— l — l — l —
The next day...
After finishing the classes, team RWBY+S was in the library, because it seemed that at the moment it was empty and there was almost no one, so there would be no problem to study. However, the main idea was to study, but it ended up with Snake telling more about his world, as for example, that humankind was able to reach the moon, which completely surprised the girls.
In addition, although Snake did not tell what he did after 1964, since he still did not want to continue, I end up saying more things about him, things the girls were asking, for example...
"So... you were never married on Earth, right?" That came from Blake.
"Right, I was busy with other things so I never had a... formal relationship with someone." Snake stated.
"And I guess you won't tell us what you did later, right? After you left FOX." Asked Weiss.
"I'll tell you but... that will be later." Snake answered. "Anyway, this wasn't goin' to be a study session?"
"Yes, but studying is sooooo boring. It is more interesting to hear things from your world." Said Yang, while she let her head rest on her arms that were on the table.
"But it is true, it's better that we start studying." Said Weiss as she opened a book she had already taken upon arrival.
"I'll go to pick one up." Big Boss said.
Boss got up from the table and proceeded to walk to where the bookshelves were, however, while he was walking up there were two boys, one blond and one blue-haired, who while being distracted due to a chat among them almost made them bump into Boss.
"Oh sorry pal, didn't see you there." Said the blonde one.
"It's okay." Snake answered.
Those two boys continued talking, until they noticed certain girls sitting at a table, so they decided to approach them.
"Hey there! Long time no see." Said the blonde boy with a smile. His way of dressing was somewhat simpler, because in addition to not wearing the uniform, he showed his abs. Besides having a tail so he was a faunus.
The girls on the other hand were confused, they even exchanged glances. It was more than obvious that neither of them knew those two boys.
"Uh sorry, do we know each other?" Ruby asked.
The blond boy on the other hand showed an expression of confusion. "Huh? You don't remember me?"
Again there was an awkward silence, there was no response from the girls.
"I saw you several weeks ago at the docks, when I arrived in Vale." The blonde boy answered.
It was then that the girls said 'Ohh' mentally, then they remembered a little of what had happened that day. It was then when Ruby was the first to respond. "You are the guy that was followed by some sailors."
Then the blonde boy showed a grin. "Yep, my name is Sun, and this is my friend Neptune."
"Nice to meet you, and especially you, snowflake." Said the boy named Neptune, while giving Weiss a wink.
"Uhhh... thanks, nice to meet you." Weiss said somewhat uncomfortable at the blue-haired boy. The girls also notice this.
"Well, my name is Ruby, they are Yang, Blake and Weiss." Said Ruby, she said it in a calm tone, but more than anything she didn't want to be rude to those boys.
"A pleasure." Said Sun with a smile. It was then he tried to talk with the girls. "I guess you are going to participate in the Tournament, right? We are going to participate."
"Yes, although not everyone will participate." That came from Blake.
"What you mean?" Neptune asked.
"Well, there's this guy who arrived a little late to school so he will not be able to participate in the tournament, when he arrived he wasn't on a team." Yang answered, in a calm tone.
"Maybe you saw him? He has a bandana and an eye patch." Said Ruby.
"Ah yes, we saw him just now." Said Neptune, then he let out a small chuckle. "What a weirdo."
"Yeah, I know, why is he wearing that eye patch? Is he trying to look awesome? Surely nobody wanted him on any team." That came from Sun.
Of course, they weren't at all serious, since they were young men, they wanted to highlight themselves so that the girls would notice them a little more. Unfortunately, the girls' response would be the opposite.
"The FUCK are you saying!?" Yang blurted, without thinking twice.
Then the fun of Sun and Neptune had changed, they were surprised and confused at the reaction of the blonde. And soon they noticed that the other girls seemed to show the same expression.
Then, Neptune tried to calm the situation. "Woah, easy there, why-"
"His name is Snake, and he's our teammate." Said Ruby, His expression was serious, it even seemed a little scary. "And he IS an awesome Huntsman."
Both boys were surprised to hear that, that's when they understood why the girls were angry.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to-" Sun tried to talk again but he was interrupted.
"You mean you were going to talk crap about someone you don't know? For what reason? To impress us?" That came from Weiss, with a cold tone.
"No! We didn't mean that." Sun said, then he turned to see Blake and tried to put a hand in her shoulder. "Listen, I-"
But before he was able to do that, Blake grabbed him by the wrist. "Listen, you monkey-tailed rapscallion, what if you and your friend leave, and don't talk to us again?" She said in a hostile tone, almost hissing.
"C'mon man, let's go." Said Neptune, while placing his hand on Sun's shoulder.
Sun had no choice but to listen to his friend. While they both retired, he cursed under his breath. "Dammit..."
The girls on the other hand only let out a sigh of relief after those two boys left. Perhaps it would have been a little exaggerated their response, but the truth is that, having heard everything Snake had to go through, the appreciation and respect they had for Big Boss increased. It was normal that they defended their friend and teammate.
"Those fools..." Weiss said under her breath.
"Gotta say, Blake, that answer surprised me." That came from Yang, with a big grin.
"What you mean?" Blake raised an eyebrow. "I just told him what he is."
"You know, I remember calling him that way, and you spent almost an hour defending him." Weiss answered.
"At least we already knew how they really are." Ruby answered.
Hopefully, the girls wouldn't see those boys again, or at least they wouldn't talk to them. But after what happened, it seemed that Yang suddenly had an idea.
"You know... I think I already found the perfect way in which Snake can compensate us." Said Yang with a big grin.
"Really? How?" Weiss asked with genuine curiosity, but she had a bad feeling.
Yang used her hand to tell the girls to approach. Still in their chairs, the girls approached a little so they could hear what Yang wanted to say, Yang was whispering, but the Ruby, Blake and Weiss were able to hear her well. And upon hearing what Yang said, the girls had a blush on their faces.
"W-what!? Are you insane!?" Weiss said almost yelling, with a blush in her face. "I remind you that he's mentally a 79 year old man."
"Meh." Yang just shrugged, and indifferently she responded. "He's young now, so I don't think it matters. Besides, I'm not sayin' that you and Snake need to have se-"
"You better not say that word. Yang Xiao Long!" Said Weiss, while her blush increased, as if she was a little girl.
"Well... I don't oppose the idea. I mean, it's nothing bad after all." Said Ruby sheepishly.
"...Besides, this is only as friends, isn't it? He has to compensate me, I mean us, us." Blake said, trying to keep a calm expression, but she had a slight blush and her bow was twitching a lot.
"W-well... maybe I can try and take advantage of that dunce." Said Weiss, without being honest.
"Done! So that's what we'll do." Said Yang with a big grin.
"Do what?" The girls turned to see Big Boss, who finally returned with a book in his hand. "Kept you waiting, huh?"
"You're right on time, Snake." Yang answered with a smile.
"...Oh." Snake simply said, as he was still standing in front of the girls. "Did something happen?"
"Kinda, but anyway, you remember that you said you were going to compensate us for hiding who you really are, right? Well, we already know what you can do for us." Yang told the mercenary.
"Okay... what's goin' to be?" Snake asked, in a calm tone.
Then, Yang just let out a big grin. And as if it were something simple, Yang gave her and the girls answer to Big Boss.
"A date. With each one of us."
End of Chapter 19
● Omake ●
Cosplay gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever.
It was another simple day in Beacon. There wasn't much to do that day, so in the case of team RWBY+S, they were in their dorm room. However, Snake was not at that time, nobody knew where he was. While Ruby was entering the dorm room at that moment.
"Hey, was anyone going to receive a package?" Asked Ruby, while holding a small cardboard box.
"A package?" Blake asked, as she placed down her book.
"Yeah, it was left out here, next to the door, and it has our room number." Ruby stated, as she placed it on one of the desks.
"Maybe it's something from pops?" Yang asked as she approached the package.
"If it's not ours we should not open it." Blake stated, also getting close.
"Does the box have anything else? Any type of sender or someone's name?" Asked Weiss again, a little more curious about that.
"Nope." Yet, Ruby's answer was the same.
"Well, unless Snake has trained to get into smaller cardboard boxes then it must have something." Yang stated.
The girls exchanged glances for a moment, as the four thought the same thing.
"Well, let's see what it is." Ruby said. That's when she began to open the box, quite carefully. It wasn't heavy and it didn't sound like it had something made of glass inside, but she was quite curious to know what it is.
The box opened, and the girls saw that there was something inside, protected with a transparent plastic. It was then that when Ruby took it out, they realized what it was.
"A costume?" Ruby said, confused.
"There's more, there are four in total." Said Yang as she took the rest out of the box.
"Anyone bought a costume on the Extranet?" Blake asked, but she only received a "No" as an answer.
"Hey! Let's try them."
"What?" Ruby, Weiss and Blake said at the same time.
"I mean, maybe it's a gift from someone, in case it's not for us, we'll pack it again." Yang said, still keeping a small smile.
"It could be fun." Said Ruby with a smile.
"Sure, why not." Blake accepted.
Weiss let out a sigh. "Don't believe that you will see me wearing a silly costume."
— l — l — l —
A few minutes and an angry heiress later...
"I-I don't know how you convince me to wear... THIS!" Weiss said with a big blush, she was embarrassed and angry.
"In fact it looks pretty good on you, Weiss." Said Ruby with a smile.
"This is definitely NOT for combat." Blake commented, with a slight blush on her face.
"Well I feel pretty good, at least for some costume party." Said Yang with a big grin.
At that time the girls were wearing a costume that came in that box that Ruby brought. And the results were quite different between them.
Ruby was wearing what could be considered the typical magical girl costume. The costume was made up of a white leotard with a blue collar that has three stripes on it, white gloves, light yellow shoulder pads, and a blue skirt, along with a red bow on the chest and at the back, along with a pair of red knee-high boots and a golden tiara with a red gem in its center.
Weiss, on the other hand, It was a simpler costume but to her standards it was embarrassing. She was wearing a Maid suit. The skirt was short, but not enough to show her underwear. Besides being wearing long black stockings with a white bow on each one. She also wore black heels, the same size as her regular heels and a small apron that only covered her stomach.
Blake's disguise, unlike Ruby and Weiss's, was different, in the sense that it was somewhat more erotic. Basically, Blake's costume was a bunny suit. The bunny costume was compromised of red high-heeled shoes, white cuffs, black bunny ears and a white bunny tail. For last, she wore black pantyhose and a black corseted teddy, which highlighted her female figure, especially her butt and breasts.
Finally, Yang's, which was completely an erotic costume, and the Fanfic's writer didn't say it, the costume itself was made for that, the costume was based on the idea of a sexy vampire. Yang was wearing a sleeveless black bustier-like top adorned with white feathers and a small heart cut out of the midriff; purple nylons emblazoned with bat patterns; black boots; and fake batlike wings placed in her back and the sides of her head. Finally and most obviously, her big breasts stood out quite a lot, and since she wasn't wearing a bra they moved a lot.
"Anyway, who would pay for something like this? Maybe it was some kind of pervert." Complained Weiss.
"Dunno, but it's too tight and small on the chest so it's not for me." That came from Yang.
"At least you could wear a bra." Weiss said as she noticed that with a slight movement Yang's breasts bounced.
"Owww Weiss don't be jealous of my bad girls right here." Yang teased as she moved them a little more.
"Me? Jealous?" Weiss had a scowl in her face.
"Yes, I mean, Ruby barely exceeds you in size." Said Yang as she kept that smirk in her face.
Hearing that Ruby touched her chest a little, while Weiss's face turned red, she was slightly upset. Blake on the other hand kept quiet, watching what was happening.
"The difference is that I don't need to have large breasts to attract some idiot. I have beauty, intelligence and elegance." Weiss said with a small smirk.
"Yeah! Flat is justice!" Said Ruby, cheering her bestie.
"Even so, with these I can make any man drool like a dog." Yang said quite confident.
"Anyone... except one." Finally Blake had spoken, so RW(B)Y paid attention to the faunus girl. "Snake."
That was when Weiss showed a smirk. "Right, right, he would never pay attention to a girl who only knows how to bounce two melons."
Yang, instead of feeling offended, showed a confident smirk. "Then let's make a bet, if I manage to make Snake faint when he sees me, you will be my servant for a day. If you win I'll be yours one day."
Of course, Yang didn't mean that Snake had to faint literally, it was only enough that he was surprised to see her dressed that way, Yang didn't wanted Snake to see her as his teammate, but as a sexy woman, Yang was quite sure of her body and herself. Weiss on the other hand was confident that as dense as Snake is he would not pay attention to Yang in the least, she felt she had the victory assured.
Just then the door began to open from the outside, so the girls knew who was about to enter.
"Just watch, ice queen." Said Yang with a smirk as she went in front of the door to receive Snake.
"Hey Snake, welcome home." Said Yang with a big smile, while she tilted forward her body a little so her breasts could be seen better.
"Hey Yang, I'm back from-" Snake was using his scroll at the moment, but soon he paid attention to Yang. And then he went completely silent, while his eye was widened.
Then the girls were completely shocked after seeing Snake's expression. They expected him to act indifferent and ignore Yang.
"No way!" Weiss almost shouted.
Yang heard that, meaning that she already won the bet. "Hehe, I see you were surprised by my costume, tell me Snake, don't you think I look-
*THUMP*
"...sexy?"
"He fainted!" Ruby shouted.
"It worked better than I thought!" Yang said proudly.
"It wasn't because he thought you looked sexy!" Said Blake as she grabbed a pillow and placed it for Snake's head.
"Then what happened?" Yang asked.
"Maybe he got scared?" Ruby mention.
"Well, he didn't pass out of happiness." Said Weiss, but suddenly she had a big grin in her face. "Then you know what it means."
"Oh-oh..." Was the only thing Yang could say.
— l — l — l —
Minutes later... again.
By that time, the girls put on their normal clothes again. Besides that Snake had woken up, after what happened the girls asked him what happened. So Boss gave them an explanation.
"So... Are you afraid of vampires?" Said Ruby, with a cute smile, she thought it was a little funny.
Snake let out a sigh. "It's not that I'm afraid of vampires, it's just that... when I see something related to them I usually have trouble sleeping."
"It sounds to me that you are afraid of vampires." Weiss stated.
"That's actually cute, Snake." Said Blake with a gentle smile.
"Yeah, yeah..." Snake said, embarrassed that he fainted.
"But... you didn't think that maybe I looked pretty in that costume?" Yang asked, with a hint of hope for a positive response.
"Uhh... well, I dunno much about costumes, but I'm sure anything else suits you better." Snake gave an honest answer.
"I see..." Yang let out a sigh in defeat.
"By the way Yang... why are you dressed that way?" Snake asked about her Maid costume she was wearing.
"Well, let's say Yang learned that in the end two melons can't control a man." Said Weiss with a proud smirk.
"Melons?" Snake asked confused.
"Nevermind..." Yang sighed.
"Anyway, Yang, my first order is that you take my dirty clothes to the Academy's laundry. Quick." Weiss ordered as she clapped her hands twice.
"Yes ma'am, ice queen..." Yang said under her breath.
— l — l — l —
"The costumes I requested were supposed to arrive today."
"Are you sure, Coco?" Velvet asked her friend and team leader.
"Oh man... I really wanted to see you in a Maid suit." Coco said slightly depressed.
"Please, no. The last time I dressed up for you, you took pictures." Velvet answered.
"Totally worth it. Anyway... I wonder if something happened to the package." Coco said.
The End
(A/N)
In case you didn't notice, Yang's costume was Morrigan's and Ruby's was Sailor Moon's. I hope you liked the short Fan Service, I didn't wanted to do it exaggeratedly erotic, but hey, I think that with the writing you can already use your imagination fot the scenes.
■ A date with team RWBY? Really? ■
...Surely some of you will think that way and say that it is absurd, since Snake is an old man and cannot go on dates with girls of 15 and 17 years old. The truth is that this as such has nothing to do with the main plot, but I feel that this serves mostly for comedy, and in part to increase trust between Snake and team RWBY.
The other reason is... remember that in MGS Peace Walker, in the Side Ops, there were Dates with Kaz and Paz? My idea was to make Omakes in the same scenario, on beach, using random phrases like HAIDARAAAA. My idea was to include team RWBY, Ozpin, Ocelot and even Salem. But then I thought that several Omakes under the same idea would be boring and repetitive.
But don't expect it to be too romantic, as I said several times, it would be more about comedy and friendship, and I don't plan to write Snake being "lovey dovey" with any girl, it would be reaaaaaaally weird.
...
...
