Seasonal Madness Part 1
Disclaimer: RWBY and its characters belong to Rooster Teeth in Austin, Texas. I do own the OCs though.
Qrow's POV
Qrow Branwen is sitting in Ozpin's office along with Professor Goodwitch, General Ironwood and Ozpin himself when he gets a call on his scroll. He pulls the device out and sees that Taiyang is the one calling. He quirks an eyebrow as he was not expecting this call. He answers the phone, only to be startled by the sounds of clashing metal and explosions, drawing the attention of the others in the room as well. "Whoa Tai, what's going on over there?"
Taiyang's POV
Taiyang ducks just in time to avoid a ball of fire sent by Cinder Fall at Raven Branwen, who blasts off the ground with a burst of wind to dodge the attack. "Oh not much," Tai says in a faux casual tone as he hides in a ditch. "I was just mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, trying not to be destroyed by the personification of the four seasons, you know the usual." He continues. "What are you talking abo-" Qrow says before he is silenced by a voice he had not heard in well over a decade.
"Oh Tai~" She says in a sing song voice as she steps in to the light to reveal her identity as none other than the mother of our favorite Red Reaper, Summer Rose. Ozpin, Qrow and Glynda Goodwitch are left in a state of complete shock, but Ironwood seems as calm as ever. "Who ya talkin too sweetie?" She says as her pink heart filled silver eyes glow menacingly as an explosion of fire and ice go off outside the window. "It better not be some whore!" She says until she sees the person's identity. "Oh hi Qrow, long time no see!" She says cheerfully. "Y-you're alive?" Qrow stutters. "Yup." She says, popping the "P" as she marches toward a visibly nervous Taiyang.
Summer looks more carefully at the screen and notices the others in the screen as well. Her eyes narrow in rage when she see Glynda Goodwitch. "TAI?! ARE YOU DATING THAT BIG BLONDE HUSSY?" She screams as her hands catch fire causing Tai's eyes go wide in fear. "N-no, of course not Summer! She was just there with Ozpin, Ironwood and Qrow." Tai barely stutters out in time to calm her. Her eyes go wide when she hears the General's name. "Oh, so Ironwood's there? Good, that'll save me some time." She says before grabbing the scroll and glaring angrily at the General. "You kidnapped me and had me cryogenically frozen you ass!" She screams in anger. Surprising the others in the room. "Once me and Raven get our man secure, we're coming for you! You'll have to change your name after I get my hands on you, cause you'll never be able to get Ironwood ag-" she says only to be cut off by a sudden gust of wind which causes her to drop the scroll as she goes flying out the window. Neopolitan comes flying over head with her white flames coming out of her eyes.
Taiyang quietly crawls over to the scroll and picks it up before screaming "Anyway, I could probably use a hand here, but first things first." He says in a faux calm voice before inhaling sharply. "CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHY I'M BEING YANDERED ON BY THE FOUR FREAKING MAIDENS?!" He screams as the war for the father of two continues.
Neo's POV
Neo's eyes start to glow with white flames as she stares longingly at the blonde man sitting at a bench, eating a sandwich. Her scroll goes off, causing the ice cream themed girl to pout before pulling it out and reading a message from her boss Roman. "Hey Pipsqueak, what the heck are you doing in Patch?" Neo grins as she types her response. "I'm checking up on my future husband." After a short delay, Roman responds with. "Oh boy, I'd say you have Y-2, but you're always crazy. Who's the lucky man?" Neo types in "A wonderful hunk I've been dating for a month now by the name of Taiyang Xiao Long."
After a few seconds, she gets an alarmed reply from her boss. "WHOA, TIME OUT! Isn't that guy the father of Little Red and her hot headed half-sister?!" Neo grins evilly as she types "Yup, that's just the chocolate drizzle on the ice cream. Can't wait to see the look on Blondie's face when she finds out I'm her new mother." She says before she sees the same Raven haired woman who scared her away from the train emerge from a red and black portal, startling Taiyang enough that he drops his sandwich. Neo's eyes narrow in a jealous rage at the woman. "What's she doing here?!" She screams in her head.
Raven Branwen's POV
Taiyang jumps in surprise as a portal he hasn't seen in years opens up beside him. His confusion turns to anger as he thinks of all the things that he'll finally get to say to her, but that rage turns to fear the moment he sees the blood splattered clothes, a few duffel bags and the pink hearts within her eyes. "Crap." He barely manages to squeak out as Raven struts toward him like a lion stalking a gazelle. "Hello Tai." She says in a seductive tone as Tai starts to get nervous. "H-hi Ray, h-how's it going?" He says as she plops herself into his lap and traces her fingers up and down his face.
"Not bad at all now that I'm with you." She purrs before leaning in and proceeding to give him a hickey on the side of his neck, causing him to gasp. "I-I thought you didn't want to be with me after I refused to join the tribe?" He nervously asks. She pulls back and stares lovingly into his eyes. "No need to worry about that anymore." She says before pulling Vernal's severed head out of one of the bags. "I decided to get rid of that problem by slaughtering the whole lot of them." She says in an eerily seductive voice, shocking and terrifying the older man. "Y-you what?!" He squeaks as Raven grabs his crotch. "You heard me Tai, my loyalty to the tribe was keeping me away from you, so I figured I wouldn't have to be loyal to them if they were all dead. Now the three of us can be together again, isn't that wonderful?" She says with a creepy smile. "Th-three?." He says in confusion. Raven smiles mischievously as she opens up another portal beside them. Tai Yang's jaw drops and his eyes begin to tear up when he sees none other than the mother of his second child, Summer Rose.
Neo's POV
Neo looks as if she is about to intervene until she is stopped by a hand on her shoulder. She looks up, expecting a fight, only to relax when she realizes it's just Cinder Fall. "Calm down Neo, we need to be careful about this. We've only been dating Tai for two months, these two women are the mother's of his children. They've got the advantage here." She says. Neo looks as if she still wants to attack the two women, so Cinder decides to calm her by pulling her into a quick kiss. The Fall Maiden pulls back a few seconds later and says "I'm not saying that we'll let these women take him from us, we just need to be careful. We need to get closer so we can keep an eye on them. Use your semblance to hide us so we don't get spotted." Cinder says. Neo nods in response before up an illusion to hide the two women as they get closer.
Summer Rose's POV
"S-Summer? B-but how?" He says. Summer scowls in absolute anger before saying "Because of that bastard Ironwood. He had me kidnapped and frozen in order to hide the Summer Maiden from Salem." But then a pair of pink hearts flare up in her eyes, causing her to look at a now terrified Taiyang with a dopey smile as she playfully pushes Raven to the side and plops down into Taiyang's lap, causing the bird themed maiden to send her girlfriend an uncharacteristic pout. She rolls her eyes at Raven's behavior and says "Give me a break Ray, I've been frozen for over a decade, I need his warmth." She says, getting an eye roll from Raven in response.
The pink hearts in her eyes fade momentarily and Summer's expression contorts to one of pure rage yet again. "That bastard Ironwood made me miss 12 years of my daughter's life. He's got a lot to answer for. I understand his reasoning, he wanted to make sure that Salem could never get the four Relics, but his "ends justify the means" attitude is going to get him in a lot of trouble some day." Summer adds. Tai Yang looks at her in shock. "Wait, you two are Maidens as well?" He says. Summer and Raven's eyes widen in shock. "Tai, how do you know about the Maidens?" Raven says as she eyes her lover suspiciously. Tai's eyes go wide and he begins sweating profusely while praying for a distraction. Thankfully, pink hearts flare up in both women's eyes at that exact moment, flooding the women with amorous desire.
Cinder's POV
Cinder and Neo's eyes widen in shock. "Seriously? What are the odds that Tai's former wives end up being the Spring and Summer Maidens?! All the time I spent looking for them while I was serving Salem and they decide to show up after I change sides to claim what is ours?!" Cinder whisper screams as Neo glares at the women in rage while they begin feeling Tai Yang up. "Hey Tai, how about we go back home so me and Raven can tag team you like we used to?" Summer purrs seductively. That is the final straw for Cinder as she signals Neo to drop the illusion.
Tai Yang's POV
"I'm afraid we can't allow that." A sultry voice says as the sound of shattering glass startles the trio. Cinder Fall and Neopolitan come walking up to the three of them with pink hearts in their eyes. "C-Cinder?! Neo?!" Tai Yang nervously squeaks, causing both Raven and Summer to glare at him in suspicion. "Tai, sweetie? How do you know these women." Summer says as Taiyang looks as if he's about to have a heart attack. "Uh, well before I go into that, I just need to say that Raven left me and I thought that you were dead." Tai says, causing the two women's glares to sharpen. "Out with it Tai." Raven growls. "They're kind of my girlfriends." He says nervously, shocking the two women. Pink hearts flare up in their eyes yet again as the Spring and Summer Maidens walk over to come face to face with the Fall and Winter Maidens. Their eyes release a fiery glow as Tai Yang desperately seeks cover in a nearby ditch.
A/N: What? Y'all didn't assume I meant Beacon when I said school, did ya? Nah man, that's too easy. Also, holy crap! I thought Jaune and Blake had it rough. Looks like we've got an all out war of the seasons on the way, with Tai Yang stuck in the middle. This is definitely going to get interesting.
I'm going to make some changes to the prologue of the story by the way. I'm trying to make it more consistent with the rest of the story given Nora's sexual orientation. There's not really much of a change, it's just a bit more ambiguous in terms of who the target is.
