Hey guys here we are starting volume 2. I wrote the food fight as best as I could and I hope you all enjoy.
-Downtown Vale-
The city was relatively quieter than it was normally as people were at cafés and chatting with each other and a few cars driving by. Here we see a shop called "Dust Till Dawn" was looking brand new. The owner was standing on a ladder as he hung a sign that said Newly Re-opened on the front of the store. He looked up at his handiwork and let out a sigh of content and he started to climb down the ladder. Before he touched the ground someone on the sidewalk briefly bumped into his back and he was knocked off and fell the last three steps.
"Sorry." A voice said above his spot on the ground. The old man looked up and saw the person responsible. It was a girl in her late teens to early twenties at best. She had medium-brown colored skin and large dark red eyes. Her hair was a light, mint green cut with a straight fringe and bangs, as well as two long locks on each side in the back that went down to her waistline. Her top half consisted of an olive colored shallow cut crop top with an intricately designed sleeveless white top over it that showed more skin but still covered the more important parts. It also had a cut gem emblem on its back. She had green armbands on her forearms the covered the back of her hands and wrapped around her middle finger, and another one in gray on her left bicep. Her white pants had an overlong belt wrapped twice and brown chaps that ended at her calves. The belt had two holsters on the back for her two dual wielded revolvers.
The owner smiled as she helped him up. "I'm not really from around here." She reached into her pocked and pulled out a piece of paper with a name and address. "Could you point me in the direction of this shop?" The owner looked at the piece of paper and nodded. He pointed down the street from his shop and gave her directions. The girl thanked him and started to walk down the street.
When she reached the corner, a voice sounded out. "I knew you were lost." The girl turned to a man with silver-gray slightly swept back hair who was standing behind a corner. He was a pale and well built young man with gray eyes. He wore a slate gray and black two-tone partial zip up jacket that covers his upper body. Over his black with gray-striped pants he has a notched belt with a sash draped over it. Protecting his sleeveless arms are sets of rerebraces and vambraces. His boots had metal pieces with racks f buckshot wrapped around them.
The girl just rolled her eyes as she walked back up to him. "Mercury," She held up a wallet filled with Lien cards. "I will seriously pay you to shut up."
He looked at her with a smile. The wallet belonged to the store owner. "That's not your money." He said.
"But it could be yours, for five minutes of silence." The girl said back smiling as well, hoping he would take the offer and just shut up.
"Hmm...," He contemplated the thought with his chin in his hand, before shaking his head no. "No deal." Mercury declined.
The girl just growled and grumbled. "Fine." The girl said as she pulled the money out and angrily threw the wallet down on the ground before walking away.
"Whatever, you so want me." Mercury said as he followed after her. The two walked down the street for a bit, looking for the store they wanted. While they walked, people were still at restaurants and talking joyfully. "So how much farther, Emerald?" Mercury asked.
"A few more blocks." The girl now named Emerald answered.
"This city is so boring." He complained as he looked around at the normal people.
"Really? I kind of like it." The girl said back. "Tall buildings, diverse culture..."
"And lots of dopey, ignorant people who are super easy to pickpocket." Mercury finished with a chuckle. The store owner was the sixteenth person she has swindled already.
"Those are in every city." The girl stopped and said.
Mercury stopped in front of her. "Oh, Emerald! Master Thief!" Mercury mocked. "Please don't take my money, I have but enough to get by."
Emerald glared at her partner before walking ahead.
Mercury just shook his head disapprovingly. "You're no fun today."
The two walked further until they reached their target: a bookstore called Tukson's Book Trade. The words underneath it read "Home to every book under the sun."
They walked in and looked around. The sign wasn't lying when it said this place was home to a lot of books. The lined the walls, were in shelves in the store, and practically littered behind the counter and on it. Mercury was staying near the front and looking through the stock the store had. Emerald stayed on task and walked up to the desk. There was no one there and the number of books there on the floor was just ridiculous. She heard someone humming in the back, she saw the bell on the counter top surrounded with more books and rang it.
"One second. Be right there!" The owner shouted before he backed into the room with his arms full of books. He was a tall and muscular man with some manly black facial hair. "Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade! Home to every book under the sun." The owner who was most likely Tukson, placed the books the books down and turned to Emerald. "How may- uh..." He cleared his throat when he locked eyes with her, his eyes showed slight fear before disappearing with his business man smile. "How may I help you?"
"Just browsing." Mercury said at the front before closing the book he held open very loudly.
"Actually, I was wondering, do have any copies of 'The Thief and The Butcher?'" Emerald asked as she leaned on the counter.
"Yes, we do." The owner answered.
"That's great." She said.
"Would you want a copy?" He asked slowly.
"No, just curious." She said as Mercury closed another book a little louder. "Oh, what about Violet's 'Garden', in paperback?"
"He's got it." Mercury said, making his partner turn around to see him with said book in hand. "In hardback too."
"Ooh, options are nice..." She said before putting her finger to her chin.
Mercury opened a book but was disappointed at what he saw. "Needs more pictures." Mercury mumbled before throwing another book to the ground. "Got any comics?"
"Near the front." The owner said pointing him to the correct aisle.
"Oh! No wait." Emerald raised her hand in thought before looking back at Tukson expectantly "What about 'Third Crusade'?" Emerald asked.
The owner widened his eyes in thought, catching the other twos attention. "I... uh… I don't believe we have that one in stock."
"Oh..." Mercury closed another book even louder.
"What was this place called again?" Emerald asked leaning her arm on the counter.
"Tukson's Book Trade." The owner answered.
"And your Tukson?" She asked gesturing to him.
"That's right." Tukson answered.
"So then I take it that you're the one who came up with the catchphrase?" She asked.
"Yes." He answered.
"And it was what again?" Mercury asked with a raised eyebrow.
Tukson sighed before looking up. "Tukson's Book Trade. Home to every book under the sun."
"Except the 'Third Crusade'." Mercury added slowly.
"It's just a catchphrase." Tukson defended with his arms raised.
"It's false advertisement." The silvery-gray haired boy said back louder.
"You shouldn't make promises you can't keep, Tukson." Emerald said as Mercury walked to the front by the door. He shut off one of the window lights. "I heard that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo. Your bothers in the White Fang won't be too happy to hear about that." Mercury shut the door light off. "And neither are we." He shut off the last window lights and walked back to join his accomplice. "You know who we are, don't you?"
He mulled for a second before answering. "Yes." He answered.
"And you know why we're here?" She asked.
"Yes." He nodded as he backed up slightly, muscles tensing underneath his shirt.
"So, are you gonna fight back?" She asked with a smile on her face.
The silence that proceeded was deathly, daring for someone to break it. It was swiftly broken by Tukson. "Yes!" Tukson unsheathed his claws and jumped on the counter. He jumped off and swung at Emerald, who ducked, before looking up as Mercury kicked forward into his body and unleashing some buckshot from his boot.
The two walked out of the store, having completed their mission.
"What's with that?" Emerald asked Mercury who was holding a comic.
"Meh. I like the pictures." He responded before closing the book.
-Beacon Academy- Cafeteria-
Blake stared at her open notebook, looking at all the notes she had on White Fang activity. Along with a drawing she had of some certain red-haired faunas from back in her time with them. "Whatcha doing?" Yang asked as she leaned over. Blake just got startled by the blonde's sudden appearance.
"Nothing." Blake answered. She saw Weiss and Tsuyu trying to look, but she closed the notebook. "Just going some notes from last semester."
Yang turned and caught a grape that had been flying her way. "Lame!"
"Yang, the reasons you take notes is to read over them and study." Tenya chastised her carefree attitude.
She ate another grape that was flung her way before pointing at him. "Lame!"
He sighed. "I don't know why I bother."
"Don't let it get to you." Ochako said from her spot between him and Izuku who was, not surprising anyone, also going over notes he took from first semester.
Grunting noises were heard before giant white binder was slammed on the table, shocking everyone. Izuku seemed to break out of his zone. "When did we get to the cafeteria?"
"You just noticed?" Weiss asked incrediously.
Someone clearing their throat caught their attention making the group look to Ruby.
"Sister, friends, classmates, Weiss..." The leader started.
"Hey!" Weiss shouted.
"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream..." Ruby continued.
"I thought score meant twenty years." Ochako thought.
"This out to be good." Yang said to Blake before catching a cherry flung her way and flipping a thumbs up towards Nora.
"A dream that one day, not just the four of us would come together as a team, but all our friends and teammates would come together and have the most fun anyone has had, ever!" Ruby finished.
"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss asked looking at the cover of the folder. Vytal Festival Activities property of Weiss, was crossed out with red marker and replaced with Best day activities.
"I am not a crook." Ruby quoted with finger gestures.
"Never said you were?" Tsuyu bluntly reminded.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked.
"Yeah, sounds like something you would take to Mina before us." Izuku added.
"I'm talking about kicking this semester off with a bang!" Ruby explained with a finger gun, emulating firing off a shot.
"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang!" The blonde joked, hoping for a laugh but was rewarded with groans of disapproval. "Eh? Guys, am I right?" The others just shook their heads as Nora flung an apple that hit Yang. "Boo!" That made the blonde angry.
"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and with new exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great." Ruby explained. "But classes restart again tomorrow."
"Ugh, thanks for reminding me." Ochako complained. She was ready to do anything to accomplish her goals but trying to keep up with Dr. Oobleck's lectures and nearly dying out of boredom from Pr. Port's self-absorbed stories, really made her sore. How she was sore from words spoken, she did not know.
"Yes. So, that is why I've taken the time to plan a series of wonderful events for us today." She gestured at the book.
"I don't know if I should be proud of your organization or scared of what you have planned for us." Weiss said as Yang angrily threw an apple back at Nora but hit Jaune's tray instead.
"Oh, will you two stop it before things get out of hand." Tenya's sporadic arm movements stop them for the time being.
"I don't know." Blake said. "I think I just might sit this one out."
"Why not Blake. We might actually have fun with one of Ruby's ridiculous ideas." Tsuyu stated.
"Yea, Blake just try and- " Ruby took a second to realize Tsuyu's words. "Hey. What is that supposed to mean?" She asked with her fist clenched and teeth grinding.
"Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day we should do it as a group." Weiss said back.
"I got it!" Nora shouted in the background, making Yang shake her head no.
"Well, I for one think-" Tenya cut himself off as a pie flew and hit Weiss square in the face, catching everyone's attention. As the pie tin fell to the floor, the eight looked over at Team JNPR. Jaune had paled significantly in shock and horror, Pyrrha covered her mouth either shocked or giggling as Nora pointed over to Ren who face-palmed at his partner's antics.
Tenya followed his example and face palmed as well. "I knew something bad would happen."
-Outside the Cafeteria-
Sun walked side by side with his friend and teammate Neptune. He was tanned like Sun and had dark blue eyes with messy light blue hair that was shaved on the sides and back of his head. He wore a white drees shirt and balck tie underneath a red jacket with a black collar. He aslo wore some dak grey jeans with black padding. His black shoes were patched instead of tied. He wore black fingerless gloves and yellow goggles on his head that were similar to Tsuyu's green ones. "Man, that's harsh." The bluenette said as Sun talked about the incident on the docks.
"So then the two of us were fighting side by side by side, and she was super-fast and I threw a banana at a guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome!" Sun continued.
"Nice!" His friend said.
"I know, right." Sun said back. "And the best part is, she's a Faunus." He covered his mouth having realized his mistake. "But that's a secret, okay!?"
"Got it." The bluenette replied.
"And I don't mean an 'I'm going to tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back' secret!" Sun clarified. "When I say secret, I mean secret secret."
"Dude, relax. I got it." Neptune reassured him. "I got it."
"You'd better." Sun replied as the two continued to walk, completely unaware of the battle that was shown through the windows. They didn't even see that Jaune was thrown at the window. "I just don't wanna screw anything up with this girl. The people here are the coolest, no offense to you guys."
"None taken." The bluenette said back as the two reached the door.
"Okay, they're just in here." Sun pointed to the door that lead to the cafeteria. "I'm really excited for you to meet them, so, just be cool okay?" he reached for the doors before hesitating and looking back at his friend. "You're gonna be cool, right?"
"Dude..." His friend stared offended at the question as he struck a cool guy pose that actually seemed to work well for him.
"Good point." Sun nodded as the two stepped through the door. A mob of Beacon students ran pass them, shouting something about a food fight, making Sun smile and scaring the other boy.
Nora laughed as she stood atop a castle of tables and soda machines Team JNPR put together. Pyrrha was below her with the guys on either side. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" She sang manically liked she did at the beginning of the year.
Ruby slammed her foot on a table, sending food and trays up. She pointed at the other team holding a milk carton in the other. "Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" She squeezed her hand and the milk burst out. "It will be delicious!" She shouted as her teammates cheered behind her.
"How did we get roped in this?" Ochako said behind the table that was her team's fort.
"I don't know, but as rivals in classes we can not afford to lose here. Team TOTM will taste victory today. And swift punishment after for destroying the cafeteria." Tenya proudly declared.
'He still lectures about rules and consequences when we're breaking said rules and are sure to face said consequences.' Izuku thought with a sweat drop. His other teammates followed his action.
"Off with their heads!" Nora ordered as she jumped down behind of a table of watermelons. Ren jumped on a tray and kicked three watermelons forward while Jaune did a flip throwing his, and Pyrrha threw three more. Nora flipped the table and sent all the watermelon on it flying and rapidly descending on the two teams.
"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby ordered as her sister charged forward. She flipped and stuck her hands into turkeys and slammed them together.
"Not a bad thought." Tenya voiced as he took another two turkeys and placed them on his feet.
Back with Yang she broke two of the melons before she was forced to flip back to avoid more of the onslaught before charging again and delivering a series of blows that decimated more.
Tenya displayed his legs flexibility as he reached up high in an angle to destroy a few heading their way. He kicked a few more in the direction of Team RWBY.
Blake jumped up from behind Yang and picked up two baguettes of bread before helping the blonde destroy the remaining melons.
Yang launched the turkeys at Jaune and Pyrrha, the latter of whom rolled out of the way while boy was pelted by the poultry. The red head saw Blake running towards her and she grabbed a baguette as Blake jumped down and swung with the bread. Both jumped back as Ochako tried getting both of them with a longer baguette she wielded like a staff. Pyrrha charged and swung and the bow wearing girl blocked. The three glared at each other as they began a bread sticking battle. Blake took the offensive on Pyrrha while Ochako parried both of their strikes with her own. Blake had used her Semblance to get behind the red headed warrior to attack. Blake swung again and Pyrrha blocked the hit before ducking under one of Ochako's strikes. Now she was the one in between them.
The two blade users dodged strikes from each other as the third wielder jumped in on any openings. Blake had used her semblance again to gain some height and throw on of her two loafs of bread at the two, hoping to catch one. Both dodged with Pyrrha going backwards and Ochako rushing to the spot Blake would land. Pyrrha charged forward and stabbed at them both, Ochako had side stepped from the strike and her loaf was now two halves and Blake was sent flying back leaving hers behind. Pyrrha caught it and used it to fend off Ochako before sending her back as well. She then threw it at Yang. The blonde broke two more loafs before a third got her.
Ruby jumped on a tray and surfed across the tables. Izuku jumped and ran alongside her as the two runners dodged when they tried to strike one another. Phyrrha threw another one at the two. In response Izuku ducked and ran for cover while Ruby jumped up and swung her tray, sending a baguette back at Pyrrha, who rolled out of the way. Ruby landed on the tray and kept surfing before she jumped again and sent the redhead backwards as Ren and Nora ran forward.
Ruby jumped out of the way as Weiss sprayed ketchup on the ground in a similar fashion to how she and Shouto tend to stab the ground, making Ren slip and crash into a table, sending debris flying everywhere. Nora jumped from one flying table to another. She leapt up to one of the flagpoles and broke the pipe of it from the ceiling. She descended and landed before slamming one end into a watermelon. She swung like her hammer at Weiss before Ruby moved in front of the heiress, taking the blow for her and flying backwards.
Weiss grabbed a swordfish and charged forward, sending Nora back. They charged back and as Weiss tried to stab her, Nora spun her weapon above her, the heiress did her best to parry the strikes before Nora slammed her 'hammer' at her in the stomach, sending Weiss flying back into a pillar that broke on impact.
Weiss fell as the pillar cracked and started to fall behind her. Ruby saw this and rushed over, pulling the unconscious snow haired girl out of the way. "Weiss, Weiss, don't leave me." She dramatically begged as the pillar slammed into the ground. Seeing her friend unresponsive clutched at her heartstrings raw. "NOOOOOOOO!" She wailed at the top of her lungs.
Tenya ran past the two, his two turkeys still on his feet from earlier. Ren had also recovered and grabbed two leeks. The two yelled as they charged each other yelling before Ren brought up his make shift weapons and catched Tenya's kick. The two traded blows before Tenya gained the advantage and backwards kicked him under his chin and sent him high up. He re-orientated himself and flipped in midair and threw his leeks at the spectacled leader. He responded by jumping up, letting the two leeks bury themselves in the ground. He was above Ren and axe kicked him to the ground, creating a massive shockwave that sent everything on the ground flying.
The man landed and jumped back from Nora swinging her 'hammer' while angriy shouting. "No one hurts my Ren." Yang was on the other side of him and readied her punch and charged as Nora swung upwards. Tenya used his speed to get out of the middle and with her superior reach, Nora launched Yang through the ceiling, sending rubble down onto Blake, who flipped out of the way.
She reached to grab a sausage link, but it was snapped away from the other end and into the hands off Tsuyu. She flicked it at Blake who dodged and moved for some distance. She then twirled around masterfully with her stand in weapon and swung it at Nora, sending her back into a vending machine. The vending machine had broken and was shooting out several cans of soda. Nora grabbed two and threw them at Tsuyu. She dodged both as they exploded in colors across the floor.
Pyrrha noticed the soda cans all around her and slammed her hand into the floor as she used her Semblance to split the cans into two parts, half for Tsuyu, and the other half chased after Blake at once. Unable to dodge, the two of them were forced through a wall and went flying to the other side.
Ochako had recovered just in time to see her friend flying above her. "Tsu!" She exclaimed. She turned back to see the culprit Pyrrha was gathering the remaining cans and putting them in a large ball above her head. Ochako thought fast and used her semblance on the broken column from earlier and made the object twenty times her weight completely weightless. She looked to Izuku who had landed next to her. "Deku, catch!" She tossed the column to him as Pyrrha threw the sphere at them.
Izuku felt One for All pumping through his body as he swung with all his might. "Home Run Smash!" When he hit the sphere most of it exploded on impact, but the rest was sent back to Pyrrha.
Ruby was with Weiss the whole time and she saw both of her other teammates go flying. Finally having enough of it, she crouched into a sprinting position and took off, kicking up a storm of soda cans and other food items. The other seven stood up and stared in shock as Ruby spun; creating a cyclone that swept them up. Tenya however ran full speed as well through Ruby's wind and grabbed his flying teammates before Ruby could get any of them. Ruby stopped in front of the back wall with enough force to crack it with a large impact crater as the other students landed against it. She jumped up onto the rafters as Jaune looked in horror as the food, tableware and other items started pelted them.
The storm died as Ruby landed, revealing a beautiful arrangement of colors along the wall before Team JNPR fell to the ground, defeated.
"I love these guys." Sun said as he turned to his friend, who was covered in soda.
"Holy crap that put everything cool in my life to shame. And I wasn't even apart of it." Sun and his friend jumped as they turned around to see Mina and her team behind them. "Oh, and hey Neptune." She regarded Sun's friend.
"When did you guys get here?" Sun asked.
"About the time Nora yelled Off with their heads." Shouto calmly replied.
The door behind them open and Glynda marched in, anger in her eyes. She waved her crop and slowly but surely, everything was telepathically moved back to its original place. As the last table rolled back into place, she turned to the students covered in food particles. "Children please, do not play with your food."
"That is all you say with the amount of damage these kids caused to the cafeteria." Aizawa grumbled behind her.
The three teams sat down with the fourth approaching to sit with them. Nora let out a burp, shocking everyone.
"Hey guys. Where's Yang?" Kirishima asked.
"Didn't she-" Bakugo never finished before Yang fell back through the roof and on top off him.
"My hero!" She said as she hugged him tight.
Bakugo just stood still like a statue and didn't even notice his cheeks had heated up until Yang had let go. He felt his cheeks roughly with his hands, "What the hell?"
"Aw, look, you're even blushing." Yang said.
"I don't blush!" He yelled trying to cool down his cheeks by taking a water can from the soda machines and dumbing it on him in an attempt to cool himself down. The sight caused Yang to blush as well.
"Ha. Look who's blushing now." Bakugo yelled pointing at her
Glynda and Aizawa went to say more but they both felt a hand on their shoulders. "Let them be." Ozpin said, walking up from behind as the students started to laugh at the fight they just had and the two blonde mortar shells antics.
Glynda sighed as Yang lightly punched Bakugo in the shoulder. "They're supposed to be the defenders of the world."
"And certainly, have a lot of way to go when it comes to both combat and maturity." Aizawa grumbled
"And they will be." Ozpin replied. "But for now, they're still children. So why not let them play the part?" He turned around and started to walk back towards the door. "After all, it's not a role they'll have forever."
Back with the students, the four teams where talking about their days and how it all divulged here at the cafeteria. And then they heard Ruby's idea.
"Yeah fun day!" Mina cheered with her arms raised in the air like she did not care.
"But it's already an hour past noon. Eight hours might seem long, but I don't think that's nearly enough time to do everything in your, or should I say Weiss', binder." Shouto again pointed out something.
"Maybe we just do one of the things in there and save the rest for days off throughout the semester." Tenya replied.
Kirhshima just grinned as he knew what they were going to do. "I know exactly what we are going to do."
"What is it?" Izuku asked.
"One sec." Kirishima walked over to Aizawa and Goodwitch and whispered something in their ears. At first, they looked upset and pointing at the cafeteria. Then he pointed at his team and pleaded to them on his knees. They still looked upset but nodded yes. Kirsihima cheered and did several flips in celebration back to the teams. "Okay! We got their approval."
"On what?" Pyrrha asked.
"I just talked, negotiated and begged our dear two professors to allow us to borrow one of the school's limited-edition swimming pools. And as our last day before second semester. We are going to have. The. Greatest. Pool. Party. EVER!" Kirishima screamed at the top of his lungs. Everyone cheered loudly, Tsuyu the loudest, Bakugo and Shouto smirked, while Neptune looked like he would rather jump into Grimm infested lands before going through with this idea.
"To the pool!" Ruby yelled making a dash for it, but Yang stepped on the end of her cloak causing her to pull back from the neck and fall on the ground.
"Easy sis. We still need to get our swimsuits on." Her older sister reminded.
At those words Izuku blushed hard. He hadn't realized that not only would the other girls be in swimsuits, but so would Ochako. He covered his nose as a small line of blood came down to his lip.
"Midoriya, your bleeding, we need to get you to the infirmary!" Tenya said next to him worriedly.
"No, I'm fine." He wiped the trail of blood with a napkin. "Just got alittle to excited for the party."
"To our swimsuits." Nora cheered. And they all went their separate ways in preparation for the pool.
Please don't hate me. I'm saving the pool party for the next chapter. And just to clarify the next chapter happens on the same day as this one.
