Welcome back to another chapter. I promise this will be the chapter where the second volume actually starts, so you know a little what to expect.
Our characters finally get a moment of relaxation they deserve, until the second turf with Torchwick and their first mission. But now, it's all just a bit of fun.
Mave POV:
Who knew the first semester would end so fast. It's like these last few weeks after our mission have gone by like the wind. Before I know it, it was the last week before the second semester would start. We already took our end exams, and it's only thanks to Weiss that I was able to do well in any class except combat and Grimm studies. I lived in the forest for years skinning and butchering almost every type of Grimm, basically becoming a walking Grimm anatomy book, so I didn't have issues in his class. But Dr. Oobleck? Mrs. Peach? I'm barely scraping by, as much as my teammates tried to help me.
School wise, I was one of the worst students, my total grade barely over the minimum. That was fun.
Now, my team, minus Ruby, who was in the dorm for some reason, and I were sitting together with team JNPR at the same table we sat ever since I came here. Naturally everyone was doing their own thing, some reading, some chatting idly, others playing with their hair, catching grapes with their mouths or filling their nails. It was peaceful for a while, nothing making this breakfast period any fun. Me, I just sat at the table with a bowl of corn flakes (Such obvious, much funny), starring into nothing, waiting for something to happen.
Who knew my patience would be rewarded so soon?
Not even a minute after me starring at the table, a loud twack is heard and the table is shaken a bit. I look up to the source and see a large white-blue binder which was slammed on the table by my little leader. On it was written in red marker 'Best day ever activities', with the title before it being crossed out.
''Sisters. Brother. Friends. Weiss.'' She began
''Hey!'' Weiss was honestly offended.
''I'm a brother now? Who would have thought.''
''Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream.''
''This ought to be good.'' Yang couldn't help but have a smile before catching another grape.
''A dream that one day, the five of us would come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had, ever!''
''This is what you used my binder for?'' Weiss was passively outraged.
''Shhh. It's the best use of one.''
Blake looked confused by all of this. ''What are you talking about?''
''I'm talking about kicking off this semester with a bang!''
Yang's smile grew wider. Oh no.
''I always kick my semesters off with a Yang! Eh..Guys? Am I right?''
''*Groan*'' I firmly slam my head on the table, the rest of the group having a similar reaction to mine. Nora went far enough to trow an apple at her, hitting her right in the head while 'booing' at her. Yang wasn't too happy with the crowds reaction, throwing the apple back at her and hitting some poor guy instead.
Ruby continued her speech as if nothing happened. ''Look guys, it's been a good few weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow, which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today.''
''I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have planned for us.'' Weiss was clearly skeptical about this.
''I don't know about about you, but I'm really interested to see what you've planned for us.'' I was genuinely curious.
''I don't know. I think I might sit this one out.''
Weiss turned to our cat girl and spoke with a weird interest I didn't expect. ''Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team!''
I swear I heard Nora say 'I got it' in the background. Oh good god. This isn't gonna end well.
''I for one think that*Thwack!*''
Weiss wasn't able to finish her sentence because of a pie that hit her square in the face. the rest of us turn to see Nora pointing at Ren, who was probably damning everything right now, Pyrrha who was mute from shock, and Jaune who pretty much looked like he wanted to leave the room as fast as possible.
'Fenrir, I think we're fucked'
'*sigh*You humans never cease to surprise me.'
Meanwhile, outside the cafeteria, 3rd person POV
Outside, the students were enjoying the nice weather either talking or reading. Two of these students who came from outside the kingdom for the festival were heading towards the caffetaria entrance, unaware of the chaos that was brewing inside. These two students were Sun Wukong and his teammate Neptune Vasilias. They were currently talking about the vent's that happened at the docks that Sun took part in.
''Man, that's harsh.''
''I know, we were fighting side by side against that guy. She was super fast, and I threw a banana at him, and it was awesome!''
''Nice!''
''Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus.'' Sun closed in and whispered the last part. ''It's a secret, okay?''
''Got it.''
''I mean it dude. Not some 'I'm gonna tell Scarlet when I have the chance secret'. I'm talking secret secret.
''Ok, ok, chill out man, ok? I got it. What about the others? You said something about a guy named Mave?''
''Oh yeah! He's awesome! A bit weird, and scary,and really tough, but really cool. Took out the Lieutenant alone, and he was barely scratched!'' Sun purposely avoided what Mave did at the docks. He didn't want to ruin the situation just because of an event. One thing was for sure, Mave could be terrifying if he wanted to.
While they were talking Jaune was splattered onto the window and neither noticed.
''The point is, I don't wanna screw this up, these guys are the coolest! No offense.''
''None taken.''
''They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them, so be cool, ok?
You're gonna be cool, right?''
''Dude.'' Neptune's teeth were shinning just to prove his point.
''Good point.''
As the two open the door and enter the cafeteria, they are greeted to a scene they didn't expect. The students were running outside for their lives while shouting food fight'. Sun was really excited and Neptune was worried.
Caffeteria. 3rd person POV
The inside was a mess. Tables were turned upside down or formed into a pile as a fortress. Team JNPR was the owner of said Fortress, with Nora as a self declared Queen.
''HA HA HA HA! ~I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!~ ~I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!~''
Ruby was the one to protest against the false queen, pointing an accusatory finger against team JNPR. She was the one who declared war.
''Justice will be swift!''
''Yeah!'' her team shouted alongside her.
''Justice will be painful!''
''Yeah!''
''It will be DELICIOUS!''
''YEAH!'' Together, they raised their fists in the air and charged their enemy head on.
This would be the greatest battle anyone had ever seen in the history of food fights.

Glynda POV:
''I don't get paid enough for this.''
That was the only thing I could voice out without risking to throw a tantrum because of the students.
I was doing my job, going around the halls and courtyards of the academy before a student come's running at me, saying that there is a large scale food fight going down.
I was not a happy teacher. As soon as I heard what was happening, I stormed to the cafeteria before anything was broken beyond repair or the students do something worse. I met with Ozpin on the way, but he took interest in hurrying to see what was happening.
How could Ozpin ever accept this I will never understand.
I reach the doors and head inside. The room was in a worse condition than I could have thought.
Tables were flipped and destroyed, there was a crater on the wall with four students splattered on the wall in a myriad of colors, food littered everywhere and even a hole in the ceiling.
The perpetrators of this were't fairing any better. Team RRWBY minus their leader and brawler were littered on the floor. Mr. Rick was laying on his back in a pool of corn flakes with fresh corn running from his mouth and a corn cob in his hand. Miss Schnee was on her belly next to him with a swordfish in her hand. Miss Belladonna was thrown in a pile of tables with a sausage link next to her and Miss Xiao Long was nowhere to be seen. Team JNPR was starting to peel off the cracked wall, covered in food and drinks.
This was the last straw for me. I used my semblance to put everything back in order. The tables were repaired and rearranged, the hole in the ceiling was fixed and all the littered food has been thrown into the trash.
''Children! Please! Do not play with your food!'' I was trying my hardest to not scream at them and punish them. The last thing I need is for a student to fall out of the sky.
''*CRACK* AHHHH! *THUD*''
And there is Miss Xiao Long. Of course.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Ozpin, and I already knew what he was about to say.
''Let it go.'' He said softly.
''*Sigh* They're supposed to be the defenders of the world.'' I returned just as softly as him.
''And they will be. But right now they are still children, so why not let them play their part. After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever.''
*Sigh* Why do you have to be so right sometimes Ozpin.
Vale White Fang outpost. 3rd Person POV
In the middle of the night, the White Fang was working with hauling the crates of dust that they were able to steal from all around Vale. While the grunts were working, two figures, a mop of grey and another of green, were heading inside to meet with their acquaintance, Roman Torchwick
''Ah look! She sent the kids again~. This is turning out just like the divorce.''
Emerald shuddered at the mental image. She didn't like him in any way.
''Spare us the thought of procreating.''
''That was a joke. And this might tell me where you two have been all day.'' He pulled out a piece of paper that Emerald had on her.
''W-what? H-''
''I'm a professional sweetheart, pay attention you might learn something. Why do you have this address?''
''Wouldn't you like to know?'' she bit back.
''Yeah I would. Now where were you all day?''
Mercury steeped up to the infamous thief. ''Cleaning up your problems. One of them at least.''
''I had that under control.''
''Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise.''
''Listen to me you little punk. If it were up to me I would take you and your little street rat friend here and I would-
''Do what, Roman?''
A third figure was looming over them from the top rails, taking a platform and lowering to their level so she could approach them.
Ahahaahh, I-d uhh, not kill them?''
''Cinder!'' Emerald was happy to see her mistress
''I thought I made it clear that you were to eliminate the would be runaway.''
''I was going to.'' He said it agitated
''He was going to escape to Vacuo. Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat.''
''I think he was some sort of cat.''
''What like a puma?''
''Yeah. There you go.''
''Quiet. Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale.''
''I-I just thought-''
''Don't think. Obey.'' Behind Cinder, Roman was slitting at his throat with his fingers, looking at the two subordinates.
''Yes ma'am. It won't happen again.''
''And you. Why wasn't this job done sooner?''
Roman looked dumbfounded before gesturing at the large dust crates all around him, exclaiming louder each time he gestured around.
''Ah! Ah! AH!'' Sorry if I've been a little busy stealing every speck of dust in the kingdom.''
''You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask.''
''Look around kid I've got this town running scared. Police camping around the corner, dust prices through the roof and, were sitting pretty in an old warehouse with more dust crystals, vials and rounds than we know what to do with! Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in with you grandmaster plan it would make my next string of robberies a little smoother.''
''Oh Roman, Have a little faith.'' She approached him and place a hand on his cheek. ''You'll know what you need when you need to know. Besides, we're done with dust.''
''O-kay? then what now?''
''We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building. i'll send you details and coordinates tonight.''
''Coordinates?''
''We're proceeding to phase two.''
The last thing they hear before they leave is Roman sighing and lighting his cigar.
This will be a long night.
And there it is. Sorry if it was a bit late and a bit short. For a few chapters I will follow cannon a bit more before I return to the main ideas that I have.
See you guys next time.
Bye!
