Yep, I'm still running this series. And I might be lost on where I was going with this, but I'm sure it'll come later on in the series. But you guys aren't here to hear me yapping, let's jump straight in.
(Beacon Library)
The three teams were now in the library, JNPR just seemed to be hanging out while RWSM and SKBY seemed to be in the middle of the board game. They came up with this idea that it would be a two on two on two on two, one boy with one girl. Each trying to help their partner.
Sonic was waiting on Blake, but she didn't seem to be focusing on her cards at all. Knuckles had a fang showing while him and Yang smirked after coming up with an idea. Tails seemed to have hard time trying to come up with something as Ruby was doing the most work. And Weiss looked lost while Shadow didn't seem to be participating at all.
"Yang Xiao Long, prepare your Kingdom for battle!" Ruby then declared.
"Bring it on!" Yang says pumping her fists.
"Come at us!" Knuckles also says with enthusiasm.
"Tails!" Ruby says nudging him.
"Huh, wha-Uh… I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet!" Tails then slammed a card on the table as the duo gasped.
"Looks like we get to fly over your Ursai, attacking your walls directly." The girl in red says with a devilish smirk as she makes airplane noises.
"*Gasp* You fiend!" Yang says while pointing at the two.
"One other thing is that Atlas is also part of Mantle, making our repair only last one turn." Tails also says pointing at the map with a smirk of his own.
"Hehehe…" Knuckles then chuckles- "What no I don't, I flex my muscl-
*Take 2*
"Hehehe…" Knuckles then chuckles as the two looked confused. "Pretty sneaky kiddos, only to activate my trap card!" He then revealed a Nevermore card.
"WHAAAAA!" Ruby freaked out.
"GIANT NEVERMORE!" Yang says while banging the table. "We roll a seven or higher and Fatal Feathers will slice that fleet of yours in two.
"But, you roll a six or lower, and that Nevermore will turn on your own forces!" Ruby then points out.
"Well, maybe we're just that crazy." Knuckles tells them while leaning in.
Yang then rolls the dice and makes a seven. "Yeah!"
"NOOOOOOOOOHOOO! My fearless soldiers!" Ruby cries out seeing her attack go down so quickly as Tails' ears dropped.
"Well, on the plus side, most of them were just androids." The fox boy says trying to cheer her up.
"Goodbye my friends… you will be avenged." Little Red says still having hope.
"Not until we draw our rewards, which by the way, are doubled this round on account of the Mistral Trade Route." Knuckles then says still smiling.
"BAH!"
"Oh! What's this? The Smugglers of Wind Path?!" Yang then says out loud.
"HA! We're taking two cards from ya! Pay up!" The red echidna says holding his hand out.
"HAVE YOU NO HEART!" Ruby cries before her head falls to the table while she is crying for real. "Nooo…"
"Alright black and white, your turn!" Knuckles says referring to the duo as Shadow lightly hit Weiss' arm to get her attention.
"Uh… I have… no idea what I'm doing." Weiss says lost as ever.
"It's easy, you are Vacuo and all Vacuo-based cards are a bonus when used by you." Yang explains.
"Sounds stupid." Shadow says in his dark tone.
"It is not. See you got sandstorm, Dessert Scavenge-OH! Resourceful Raider! With that you can take, Ruby and Fox-boy's discarded air fleet…" Yang was telling them as Ruby groaned. "Putting it in your hands."
"Okay…?" Weiss says confused.
"And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance boost against natural hazards, you could use Sandstorm to disable our ground forces while simultaneously infiltrating our kingdom." The blonde continues to explain. "Just know, we will never forget this declaration of war."
"Which means…?" Shadow asks not following.
"You're just three moves away from conquering Remnant." Tails tells them while looking annoyed with his elbow on the table.
Then Weiss suddenly rises form her chair and does an evil laughter. "YES! Fear the almighty power of my forces! Cower as they pillage your homes and weep as they take your children from your very arms-!" She then started acting like an evil villain before…
"Trap card. ~" Knuckles pulls out a card then Yang runs her hands around the board.
"Your armies have been destroyed." She then says.
"I HATE THIS GAME OF EMOTIONS WE PLAY!" Weiss' character then breaks as she starts crying as Shadow pats her head while rolling his eyes.
"Stay strong Weiss, we'll make it through this together." Ruby then suddenly latches onto her while crying as well.
"SHUT UP! Don't touch me!" The ice-queen says as she embraces her teammate.
"Alright Blake, you're up." Yang then says as Sonic smacks the Faunus' arm a bit.
"Huh? Oh, umm… sorry, what am I doing?" Blake asked confused.
"Girl, we're playing as Vale, trying to conquer the kingdoms of Remnant." Sonic then reminds her.
"Right…" The bow-wearer says lost.
"Hey, can I play?" Jaune asks coming over.
"Sorry Jaune, we've already got four people and four partners." Ruby tells him normally.
"Besides this game requires a level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt you possess." Weiss says acting all high-and-mighty.
"You mean like how you got it by attacking our own navel fleet two turns ago?" Shadow calls her out as she looked down annoyed.
"Bring it on Ice-Queen, I'll have you know that I've been told I am a natural, born leader!" Jaune says with his hand on his hip.
"By who, your mother?" Weiss asked being snarky.
"And Pyrrha." The blonde refers to the red head.
"Hello again!" She says waving over.
"Come on let me play your hand for a turn." Jaune pleaded as the black-hedgehog groaned.
"I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo." Weiss says pulling her cards away.
"Why not?! You've trusted me with way more important stuff before! You told us all that Blake was really-ARGH!" The blonde was saying until Shadow suddenly punched him in the face. "Sorry…" He says while uncovering his face a little as Blake was glaring at them.
Then she turned to her glare to Sonic who chuckled nervously while sweating. "Uh… hehe…"
"Ladies… gentlemen… enjoy your battle." Jaune says while bowing before leaving.
"Sup, losers." They heard a familiar voice and turned to see…
"Hey there Sun." Ruby says to him.
"Ruby, Tails, Yang, Knuckle-head-
Knuckles: HEY!
-Blake, Sonic, Ice-Queen, and Edgy." Sun greeted each of them.
"Bitch, what'd you just call me?" Shadow growls while glaring at him.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that?!" Weiss says offended.
"I never got a chance to introduce you to my old friends." Sun says before a familiar armadillo Faunus and blue haired boy came around the corner.
"Uh, aren't libraries for reading?" The blue haired boy points out.
"Thank you!" Ren just yells over.
"*SNORT!* PANCAKES!" Nora then burst awake.
"Shut up don't be a nerd." Sun then tells him.
"Intellectual, okay. Thank you." The blue-haired boy tells him. "I'm Neptune." He then introduces himself.
"And I'm Mighty!" The armadillo Faunus then pipes in.
"Mighty, huh?" Sonic says a little interested then he got a closer look while squinting his eyes. "Is it me, or do we look alike?" He says after examining him.
"Huh? Uh, I don't know. I don't think so." Mighty says confused a little.
"So, Neptune, where are you from?" Weiss then asks curious.
"Oh, from Haven…" Neptune replies while walking over. "… And I don't believe I've caught your name, Snow Angel." He finishes.
"Umm… I'm Weiss." She tells him while Jaune looks upset.
"Are you kidding me?!" Jaune says under his breath annoyed.
"Pleasure to meet you." Neptune says once more.
"I never took you as the board-game-playing type." Sun then says moving towards Blake a little.
"Right, well, I think I'm done playing, actually." Blake then puts her cards down then just walks away.
"Wait, Bla… *sigh*." Sonic says but then stops.
"Having girl trouble?" Mighty asks.
"You could say that." The blue hedgehog tells him.
"Yeah, well, you wouldn't be the first." The armadillo says looking at Neptune who looked offended from what he said.
(Later on)
"Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?"
"The White Fang and Eggman Empire are going in on a joint business together."
Blake was sitting in her room thinking about what happened a few days ago and remembers what Roman said. She didn't understand why the White Fang would just decide to follow a human for whatever reason, and what she really didn't understand was what the Eggman Empire was and what it had to do with the White Fang at all.
"UGH! We should have never let them play!" Yang yelled annoyed as her and the teams walked into the room.
"YEAH! We had those guys' asses!" Knuckles yelled also annoyed.
"You're just mad because the new guys beat you." Ruby laughed.
"Well, if you guys had just attacked when we told you, maybe you would've stood a chance." Tails tells them as the red echidna just looked annoyed.
"STOP!" Weiss caught Blake just as she was about to leave. "Lately, you've been quiet, anti-social and moody…" She was telling her.
"Uh, have you meet Blake?" Yang asks her rhetorically.
"… Which I know is your usual 'thing'. But you've been doing it more than usual, which quite frankly, is unacceptable." The Ice-queen continues to tell her.
"She's right Blake, you made a promise to us that you would let us know whether something." Sonic backs her up.
"So, Blake Belladonna…" Weiss then says.
(Insert background change with the two spinning)
"What! Is! WRONG?!" The two of them both said as the same time while pointing at her.
The background changed back to normal and Weiss was on top of Sonic just before he lost balance and they fell over, then jumped right back up while dusting off their clothes. Blake thought before she spoke.
"I just… I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." She tells them.
"Are you still thinking about Torchwick?" Shadow asks her.
"Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!" She tells them.
"Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and Huntsmen, I'm sure they can handle it." Yang tells her while positive.
"Well, I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do." She tells them while looking at them worried.
"Okay, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three-I mean seven of you think you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells…" Weiss was explaining.
"Wait, what?/Uh, who?" Sonic and Ruby say confused.
"But, let me once again be the voice of reason… We're students. As in not ready to handle this sort of situation." The white-haired girl finishes.
"Well, yeah, maybe… but-" Sonic was saying.
"We're not ready!" The Ice Queen cuts him off.
"AND WE MAY NEVER BE READY!" Blake suddenly snapped. "Our enemies aren't just gonna sit around and wait for graduation day! They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!"
"Okay! All in favor of becoming the youngest hunters and huntresses to single-handedly bring down a corrupt organization conspiring against the kingdom of Vale… Say 'aye'!" Ruby then says very fast.
"YES! I love it when you're feisty." Yang says excited.
"I'm down!" Sonic says raising his hand.
"Well, I suppose it could be fun." Weiss then says.
"As long as I get to beat the crap out of someone." Knuckles says pounding his fists.
"Whatever." Shadow just turned his head.
"None of you said 'aye'…" Ruby then has her head down.
"Aye!" Tails says while raising his hand as the girl rubbed the back of her head.
"Alright then, we're in this together." Blake said smiling.
"Wooo! Finally, we got you to smile." Sonic then says happy.
"Let's hatch a pla-*GASP*! I left the board game in the library!" Ruby just realized.
"We're doomed." Weiss says with her hand at her head.
"I'll be right back!" Ruby says running out of the room only to bump into someone on her way to the library. She got up and looked at who she bumped into. "Sorry." She then apologizes.
"Hey, don't worry about it. Just watch where you're going." A familiar green haired girl tells her while offering a hand.
"Oh… right… sorry." The red-and-black-haired girl says accepting the hand. "um… I'm Ruby! Are you, new?" She then asks seeing her with a gray-haired boy.
"Visiting from Haven, actually." Another female voice spoke as a black-haired girl and familiar looking hedgehog Faunus that looked like Sonic but with different shaped quills walked in front of them.
Ruby looked up at them and saw their smiles, then smiled herself. "Oooooooh! You're here for the festival!... Oh, but exchange students have their own dormitory." She tells them.
"I guess we just got turned around." The gray-haired boy states.
"*Small laugh* Don't worry, it happens all the time!" She tells them. "Uh, your building is just east of here." She tells them as two of them leave.
"Thanks, maybe we'll see you around at some point." The Faunus says as the other two pass.
"Yeah, maybe! Oh, uh… and welcome to Beacon!" She then says to them as they leave.
Of course, not noticing that the black and blue haired ones smirked when she couldn't see.
To be continued…

Okay, so guys, Christmas is coming up and I might not be posting too much because, I have presents to get prepared and decorations to put up, and my family is visiting for the holidays. But, that's probably happening with the rest of you guys as well… unless you're a lonely guy who doesn't ha-

Also, check out my friend's page on Wattpad by the name of AshFan-27. I don't know how to describe what he does, but I hope he doesn't go too far on something.
