Chapter 5
Farmer Refuted and You'll be back
After a hectic battle that involved a raging Nora, a screaming Jaune, a stress riddled Ren and Pyrrha, and a spectating Ozpin with a small smirk on his face the entire time, the group finally settled down enough to collect their thoughts and think about the two latest songs they had just heard.
Despite Nora's antics, Ren believed that the version of him on the screen was perhaps a plausible alternative to his normal attitude, but he chose to refuse this mindset due to being too cynical and only looking out for his own personal agenda. Growing up, he had to survive in some rough parts of Anima, but Nora was always with him. This in turn made him think of more than himself and seeing this version of him was like seeing what could have been if he had never met his closest friend the way he did.
"So Jaune," you never answered the question." Ren stated while looking to his friend. "What do you think of this version of you?" the ninja gestured to the screen and Jaune irked a bit. The others were talking amongst themselves, but the blonde knight didn't notice his partner listening in on his response.
"It's a little weird y'know?" Jaune said while scratching an itch on his left cheek. "I honestly don't know what to think. I mean if the way I'm acting on there is a possibility, then I welcome it, if it isn't, then that's okay I guess." Ren nodded. it was a tough question and trying to make heads or tails of such a universe where the variables were infinite could be baffling to most.
Pyrrha looked at her partner with sentiment and almost longingly as her mind conjured the possibilities of Jaune with that same attitude during their future at Beacon. It wasn't the same false bravado that she witnessed the first day they met either. Jaune's face showed confidence in his abilities and knowing that he had weaknesses, yet the Jaune on the screen never let those weaknesses get to him. he would keep trying his best and speak from the heart until those weaknesses turned into strengths. The question that remained was how was she going to get her partner to see what he could really be.
"I understand." Ren replied as he got up to make himself some tea. As he was walking he passed by Sun's team and smiled at their antics. It seemed to the ninja that the transfer team was enthusiastic of their roles and he couldn't blame them. They spoke from the heart and held strongly to what they thought was right.
He honestly wished his character would do the same.
"I hope we get to see more of you guys though." Sun gestured to Pyrrha and Ruby. "Not only was the singing great, but you blew Ren off." Sun and his team laughed as they remembered Ruby's and Penny's characters packing heat as Ren was hitting on Pyrrha. The rose and the champion both laughed along with them and wholeheartedly agreed to the faunus's statement.
"The overall time period is interesting to say the least." Blake chimed in. "So many things are changing at once and oppression everywhere. Honestly that is just an unstable dust crystal ready to explode." Weiss agreed to this and remained quiet as she patiently waited for the next video.
"Guys! It's done loading!" Nora shouted once more with joy as she was about to order everyone to shut up. She didn't have to due to everyone already knowing what to do. Nora smiled at this somewhat maniacally and pressed play on the remote. The scene soon appeared to be a crowd surrounding a person on the platform.
"Holy crap it's Sky!" Nora said as the camera zoomed in on the person on the platform who was about to speak.
"Sky?" Neptune asked and Weiss rolled her eyes at the thought of the student.
"He's affiliated with Cardin." Jaune explained and team SSSN mouthed an "Oh." and had a feeling of dread, all knowing how much of a dick Cardin had been during their time so far at Beacon.
Sky:
Hear ye, hear ye! My name is Samuel Seabury, and I present
"Free thoughts on the proceedings of the Continental Congress!"
The students couldn't help but unconsciously twitch one of their eyes in irritation at the way Sky was presenting himself. Sun, Sage, Neptune, and Scarlet all agreed with the counter parts on the screen while Jaune was silently fuming at how similar the two Skys were when it came to being pretentious pricks.
Sky:
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution
They have not your interest at heart
Sage: Oh my god. Tear this dude apart
"Amen to that!" Nora cheered as they saw red in Jaune's and Sage's eyes while Jaune had a devious look forming on his face. Jaune's character was walking forward for a few steps until Ren's character noticed.
"Ren don't be a buzzkill." Nora chided and Ren rolled his eyes.
"Not really me. Remember Nora?" Nora giggled at this while he folded his arms in amusement.
Sky:
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don't let them lead you astray
This congress does not speak for me
Ren: Let him be
The group laughed at the somewhat begging expression that Ren's character possessed and as the camera zoomed out onto Sky looking out to the crowd. They all saw Jaune point somewhere and Ren went in said direction.
"You know tricking me like that won't work right Jaune?" Ren chuckled a bit and Jaune gave him a blank stare.
"Yesterday you did exactly that when I said they were having a cookbook sale at Tuscon's bookstore." Jaune deadpanned and the others tried to not laugh at Ren who shrunk an inch in his seat.
Sky:
They're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame!
"This isn't going to end well. Isn't it?" Blake said to no one in specific as they saw Jaune get up on the platform with his arms folded. Blake and Weiss shared Ren's character's expression of worry.
"Who cares? Anytime Jaune goes off on someone is a sight to behold!" Nora cheered as she waved a little banner with Jaune's symbol on it. How she got a hold of such a thing was unknown to all of them. Jaune irked a bit as he remembered when his anger got the best of him and Pyrrha gave him a flat look.
Jaune: Yo!
Sky:
Heed not the rabble who
Jaune:
He'd have you all unravel at the sound of screams
Sky:
Scream—
Jaune:
But the revolution
Sky:
Revolution—
Jaune:
Is comin'
Sky:
They have not your interests
Jaune:
The have-nots are gonna win this
Sky:
At heart—
Jaune:
It's hard to listen to you with a straight face
"DUDE THIS IS AMAZING!" Neptune shouted this time as everyone was looking in awe at the sheer amount of coordination that Jaune and Sky's characters were portraying. Jaune was in sync with certain words and what impressed them all was how Sky didn't lose track of his speech, as if the two's words were intertwined with one another.
Ruby was a whole other story as she looked on at her first friend on the screen. Jaune once told her that his dad gave him advice on girls saying that all they looked for was confidence. Well he was right and wrong at the same time. The day Jaune put that advice to use, he failed miserably due to making an idiot of himself. An adorable idiot, but an idiot nonetheless. But this, this was confidence and conviction he held in his heart. For some reason, this made the rose blush a bit.
Sky:
Chaos and—
Jaune:
Chaos and bloodshed
Sky:
Bloodshed are not—
Jaune:
Already haunt us
Sky:
A solution—
Jaune:
Honestly, you shouldn't even talk—
Sky:
Don't let them lead you astray—
Jaune:
And what about Boston?
Look at the cost and all that we've lost
And you talk about Congress?
Sky:
This Congress does not speak for me
Jaune:
My dog speaks more eloquently than thee
"ARF!" everyone's heads turned towards Jaune and they noticed that a black and white corgi appeared and somehow landed on his head. Despite the sudden shock, the dog remained there on the blonde knight's head with an adorable look on his face.
"ZWEI!" Ruby cheered as she used her semblance to zip over to him and hugged her dog. Jaune remained shocked and confused at this. Zwei didn't seem to care as he licked Ruby's face. Before Ruby could bring him back to her seat, the corgi leapt off the rose and jumped up onto Jaune's lap. RWBY and JNPR grew confused at this and Ozpin chuckled a bit.
"He's grown a liking to you Mr. Arc." Jaune nervously laughed a bit as they continued to watch what was happening.
Sky:
You're playing a dangerous game
Jaune:
But strangely, your mange is the same!
Ironwood couldn't help but stifle a laugh at how Jaune drew out that note in an exaggerated way. He had to give the boy credit for being able to respond with full efficiency.
Sky: I pray the king shows you his mercy
Jaune: Is he in Jersey?
"Jersey?" Ren asked and Yang chuckled a bit.
"Probably the equivalent to Vaccuo." Sun was about to protest until he thought about it for a while. He shrugged and nodded in agreement.
Sky: For shame—
Jaune: For the Revolution!
Sky: For shame!
COMPANY: For the Revolution!
"You certainly know how to rally the people Mr. Arc." Goodwitch somewhat complemented as Jaune laughed nervously. "I hope you don't get any ideas when you're in my class next time. Confidence is useful and even essential. But never let it manifest into overconfidence." Jaune irked a bit and rubbed the back of his head.
"Yes ma'am" Jaune said sheepishly.
Sky: Heed—
Jaune:
If you repeat yourself again I'm gonna
Sky & Jaune:
Scream—
Jaune:
Honestly, look at me, please don't read!
"You certainly turned a bit malicious there." Weiss commented while everyone looked a little shocked.
"During times of unrest, anger can get the better of us. We also most likely confuse it with righteous conviction." Ozpin said in defense of the blonde. Weiss huffed a bit as she turned her attention to the screen.
Sky: Not your interest—
Jaune and (COMPANY):
Don't modulate the key then not debate with me (laughter)
Why should a tiny island across the sea
Regulate the price of tea?
Ren: Alexander, please!
Jaune:
Burr, I'd rather be divisive than indecisive
Drop the niceties
ENSEMBLE:
Silence! A message from the King!
A message from the King!
FULL COMPANY:
A message from the King!
"Oh shit." Sage said out loud as soldiers forced Jaune's character off the platform and one polled out another article of paper. The group grew a little irritated at Sky's smug look but that look turned to confusion as an image of the king showed up. Everyone was silent as they realized who the person was under the noble garbs and somewhat ridiculous crown.
"Ozpin?" Ironwood asked as he looked to his friend who was a still as could be. His coffee was perfectly suspended in his hand as he looked on at himself on the screen.
"This will be interesting." the headmaster said as he took a sip of coffee. "Hopefully not embarrassing." Not knowing that Yang was begging for the exact opposite as she had her scroll ready to record. The song started on a few lone notes from a piano along with the camera zooming in on a balcony. From what they all could see, is that the place they were looking at was as Sun put it, "Swanky as all hell." The slow piano notes continued as the camera faded and showed a person reading a newspaper. The group couldn't see the person's face yet as they read what was on the newspaper.
"Breaking News: U.S. is sick of the bullshit. Lmao."
This caused SSSN to laugh quite a bit as Jaune and Ren were doing their best to stifle their laughter. Weiss rolled her eyes while Ruby and Yang were laughing along with the guys. The rest simply wondered who the person was.
Ozpin:
You say the price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay
Everyone went silent as they saw the newspaper lowered to see none other than Ozpin with his face covered in a green mask, most likely used for skin treatment. The headmaster had no glasses on but nonetheless had the same voice if not a little higher so his singing could sound nice. Glynda and Ironwood slowly looked towards Ozpin, who sat as still as could be and Glynda swore that he wasn't blinking.
You cry in your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Why so sad?
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away
Now you're making me mad
Remember despite our estrangement, I'm your man
"He's talking about the colonies, right?" Pyrrha asked a little nervously as she was trying to comprehend that the headmaster dawned a robe and actually could make a pouty face.
"That's what you're asking?" Jaune said with some disbelief in his voice as his eyes were wide with confusion and some fear.
"What are you wondering about then?" Pyrrha asked rhetorically but Jaune ceased this opportunity.
"Oh, you know the interior design and the way the servants act around him or I don't know, how about the fact that he has a shrine that has the American flag in the center of it?!" Jaune exclaimed and Pyrrha looked back to see that what her partner was saying was true and it was then that she was utterly confused as to what was happening. Unknown to them all, a blinking red light was going on and off from Yang's scroll as she was doing her best not to laugh.
You'll be back
Soon you'll see
You'll remember you belong to me
You'll be back
Time will tell
You'll remember that I served you well
"I don't think I have seen him in anything else except his usual clothing." Glynda whispered to Ironwood who nodded while still wide eyed at the scene of Ozpin looking out his window with the light angled perfectly on his face. All of them wondered if the headmaster didn't put any product in his hair, would it be that flowy?
"Okay seriously?" Sun said as he gestured towards the screen to see that Ozpin pulled out something out resembling a photo, only for it to be a map of the United States.
"Pure definition of the term clingy." Blake said as she was somewhat disturbed at the way Ozpin was smiling, or for the fact that he was smiling in the first place.
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove,
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!
"Ren, I'm scared." Nora said as she brought her knees up to her chest and leaned on her partner. He didn't say anything but agreed with her nonetheless as they all saw Ozpin dawn a ridiculous crown and a fur cloak that only went to the length of his forearms. Not to mention the somewhat small scepter in his hands. What freaked them all out was how cheerfully morbid Ozpin was when he mentioned the battalion and Ironwood mentally shuddered at the thought of Ozpin having military power.
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da dayada
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da da
"Meep." Ruby let out a noise as she was doing her best not to laugh. Yang looked to her sister and saw that both her hands her covering her mouth and her shoulders were jerking up and down, indicating that she had little to no control over the laughter when she saw Ozpin doing a little jig across his room with a shit eating grin on his face.
You say our love is draining and you can't go on
You'll be the one complaining when I am gone
"Dysfunctional relationship anyone?" Nora asked out.
"To a Tee" everyone sans Ozpin replied as they saw him slowly rub the flag and suddenly rip it off the wall it was pinned to, following by throwing it on the floor.
And, no, don't change the subject
'Cause you're my favorite subject
My sweet, submissive subject
My loyal, royal subject
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
In the background while Ozpin was snuggling the flag, Oobleck and Port walked passed their bosses quarters and Oobleck was questioning why the king was snuggling and kissing the flag. Port told him to drop it unless he wanted to be executed.
"I want to laugh." Neptune said as his expression didn't change. "But I can't. and I don't know why. I want to say fear. But it's something much worse than that. and I don't know what it is." Neptunes team agreed with this and Nora then spoke up.
"Ren, why is the headmaster spooning the flag while laying, on the floor?" Nora was now clinging onto Ren's arm tighter than ever.
"I want to give you an answer Nora. I just don't know what to say." Ren responded with and the rest of his team paled at this.
You'll be back
Like before
I will fight the fight and win the war
For your love
For your praise
And I'll love you till my dying days
"AAAAGH!" Ruby shrieked as the camera zoomed up to Ozpin's eyes. As the camera zoomed in, the look on the headmaster's face got more insane. What made it worse was that they swore they saw his pupils shrink due to insanity.
When you're gone, I'll go mad
So don't throw away this thing we had
'Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love
"SWEET OUM!" Jaune and Sun said at the same time as the camera should Ozpin towering over the flag with a look of unadulterated insanity. Some could argue that it was a look of love but that was up to the viewer.
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da dayada
"Okay, I think it's almost over." Blake said out loud as the character Ozpin was portraying was tapping his foot.
"You had to say that." Jaune said. Blake was about to question him but the blonde put his head into one of his hands while pointing to the screen, Blake looked over and her heart cringed as she saw Ozpin dancing again. The camera jumped to Oobleck, Goodwitch and Port who were all standing at attention and the group did their best not to laugh at Oobleck who was bobbing along to the music.
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da
Everybody!
(Port, Oobleck, Peach, Goodwitch, and Ensemble)
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da dayada
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dadada da da dayada
The song ended as the camera jumped from the three assistants reluctantly dancing and singing to Ozpin tearing up due to them remembering their dance moves. As the song came to a close, Ozpin sat in his throne and dragged two fingers across his neck with a cheerfully sadistic look. On the last abrupt note, the screen went black and the loading circle returned.
No one said a thing. Everyone was still and slowly turned their head to their headmaster. He eyed them all with a hint of confusion. He soon let out a small chuckle and smirked a bit.
"I would never do anything like that to a flag or a nation. It's not really us on there." Ozpin said as he took a sip from his coffee. The group sighed at this and decided to put this one behind them. unknown to them, Ozpin looked to the table with the refreshments and eyed the empty coffee pot, all while reciting the song in his head.
Hope you all enjoyed. I hope you all could picture everything that I wrote and if there were times where some may have struggled, look up the animatics that were made by Szin because I'm basing the movements and interactions off of those. I'm finally getting into the swing of things again and I am going to try and crank out some more chapters before school starts. This is always something that puts a smile on my face and I hope you all enjoyed despite my lack of skill of writing comedy. Drop a comment or a review, or even pm me if you want. With that being said beautiful people, be compassionate and BE FIERCE!
