The camera zooms to show Beacon. Cut to a side shot of Ruby and Jawsome, rose petals and fire blowing from them, respectively. The camera pans to show all of Team RWBY and JSKT.
There's a point where it tips, there's a point where it breaks,
There's a point where it bends and a point we just can't take,
ANYMORE
The area dissolves into white as the two open their eyes, silver and gold flashing.
There's a line that we'll cross and there's no return,
There's a time and a place, no bridges left to burn,
ANYMORE!
Jawsome falls from the sky, seemingly alone. The camera zooms to show every trainee from Beacon, and some we haven't met yet, falling as well. All of them land, Jawsome slamming his sword point into the ground.
We can't just wait with lives at stake,
Until they think we're ready!
Our enemies are gathering,
The storm is growing deadly!
Torchwick, Eggman, and three others stride out of a burning building, Eggman holding a Chaos Emerald. Grimm gather in a snowy clearing, staring at the moon. A massive storm hangs over a wave of Grimm, as the students charge towards them.
Now it's time to say goodbye….
To the things we loved, and the innocence of youth!
How the time seemed to fly…
Scene cuts to each member of RWBY and JSKT facing off against an enemy, Knuckles and Yang versus a gray person, Tails and Weiss against an emerald person, Sonic and Blake against Eggman and Torchwick, Ruby and Jawsome against the shadowy fire user. As the scene shows a seemingly all black Jawsome, each member flashes before Jawsome and Ruby slash together, bringing up the title
From our carefree lives,
And the Solitude
And Peace
We Always

A tanned girl with emerald hair and a white guy with gray hair strode down the street of Vale. At a glance, they were another pair of students here for the Vytal Festival. There was more to them than the surface…. Stepping into From Dust Til Dawn, the girl stepped up to the counter.
"Hey, do you know where we can find…" She whispered the last part. The shopkeep nodded, walked out, and pointed down the street. "Thanks!" They walked along, enjoying the nice day.
"You know, how do we know he's gonna be there?" The guy asked.
"He will, Mercury." The girl snapped.
"Jeez, ask a simple question, Emerald." Mercury responded, hands up.
They reached their destination, a sign reading Tukson's Book Trade hanging above the door. The two entered. Emerald went to the counter while Mercury perused the aisles. A bell sat on the counter, which Emerald tapped, causing a light ding to ring out.
"One second." A voice rang from the back. A large man with a black beard came from around the corner. "Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun. How can I… help…" He trailed off when he saw the two.
"I'm looking for a certain book." Emerald said.
"I see. Which?" Tukson asked.
"Hmm, I was thinking maybe… 'The Thief and the Butcher'?" Emerald asked.
"Yes, we have that."
"Great! Howabout 'Violet's Garden', paperback?"
"He's got it." Mercury snapped a book closed. "Hardcover too."
"Hmm, good options here." Emerald said.
"Got any comics?" Mercury asked.
"Near the front." Tukson responded.
"Wait… What about 'Third Crusade'?" Emerald asked.
"I don't believe we carry that right now… Out of stock." Tukson said rigidly.
"Ah."
"What was the place called again?"
"Tukson's Book Trade."
"And you're Tukson?"
"That's right."
"So then, you came up with the catchphrase?" Emerald asked.
"Yes."
"What was it again?" Mercury asked. "For memory's sake."
"'Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun."
"Except 'Third Crusade'?" Emerald asked.
"It's a catchphrase, not literal." Tukson said, sounding a little forced.
"It's false advertising, is what it is!" Mercury said.
"And you shouldn't make promises you can't keep, Tukson." Emerald said darkly. The shop darkened. Mercury flipped the other switches, and the other windows darkened as well. "Hear you plan on moving to Vacuo." The front door window darkened. "Your brothers, the White Fang, they won't be especially happy to hear that, now would they?" Mercury stepped forward slightly, grinning menacingly. "Neither, are we…. You do know who we are, correct?" Emerald finished.
"Yes." Tukson sounded more pissed than he was a while ago.
"You know why we're here?"
"Yes."
"Are you going to fight back?"
"YES!" Tukson unsheathed his claws, and leaped at Emerald, slashing. She nimbly dodged,and Tukson found himself in the path of Mercury's shotgun shoe.
The two exited the store, leaving the windows dark.
"What's with that?" Emerald motioned to the comic Mercury was holding.
"I like the pictures."
"I just got the wierdest feeling." Jawsome lazily remarked.
"A sense of overwhelming 'Oh my god, oh my god, classes start in tomorrow' type?" Sonic said, catching a grape tossed at him by Nora. Knuckles was watching in abject fury.
"No, a sense of plot development."
"What is that?" Tails looked over from where he was polishing his Duo Shot. The rest of JSKT had gotten their weapons after the Forever Fall trip, which the smiths had said was sooner than usual. Sonic had tried naming his new weapon 'Metallic Blur' first.
"Think that's taken." Jawsome pointed out, glancing at the fourth wall. Next was 'Fists of Steel'.
"Taken, comrade." Knuckles said in a thick Russian accent. Sonic finally picked Kibalt's Wrath.
"Kibalt?"
"I'm improvising, Mr I-already-have-a-named-weapon-by-plot-demands." Sonic said. Knuckles simply called his the Hammer Claws. Back to the present, Yang sidled up to Blake, who was staring at a book.
"Whatch'ya doin?" She asked.
"Looking over notes from last semester." Blake said.
"Lame." Yang caught another grape, flashing a thumbs up to Nora as she did. The next minute, the table shook as a large binder was dropped onto it. Ruby cleared her throat.
"Sisters!.. Friends!... Weiss…" Ignoring the indignant 'Hey!' from Weiss, Ruby continued. "Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream."
"I'm getting the unorginal feeling right now." Jawsome deadpanned, picking up a sandwich.
"This should be good." Yang said, catching another grape.
"A dream that all…. Twelve of us would come together to have the most fun anyone has ever had... ever!"
"Is that my binder?" Weiss asked. The words 'Vytal Festival activities- Property of Weiss Schnee' were hastily crossed out on it, with 'Best Day Ever Activities' scribbled below.
"I am not a crook." Ruby said, making peace signs.
"It's going up…." Jawsome snarked, taking a bite. Egg salad. He made a face and tossed it.
"What?" Tails and Knuckles, who had intercepted Sonic's last grape asked.
"Kicking our semester of with a bang!" A small explosion sounded at that. Everyone looked at Jawsome.
"What? No SFX? Lame." He shrugged.
"Well, I always start my semesters off with a Yang! Amiright?" Yang said.
"Boo! Boo!" Nora chanted, throwing an apple at Yang.
"Look, it's been a great two week break, but classes start tomorrow, and the tournament isn't until the end of the year, so I have devised plans to make this day the best ever"
"I'm not sure whether to be proud or terrified." Weiss said.
"Seconded." Nearly everyone else said. Yang threw the apple back at Nora.
The next second, her face was covered in pie, and the second after that, was warfare.
"FOOD FIGHT!" At that, students ran in terror as the cafeteria became a DIY urban warzone. Usually, everyone wasn't so preoccupied with what teams RWBY, JNPR, and JSKT were doing, having established themselves as the teams that did their own things. Now was a time to actually care. Half the tables, some soda machines, et al. were piled on one side of the cafeteria. Team JNPR, Sonic and Tails were standing atop it.
"Eyahhaha! I'm queen of the castle~!" Nora sang.
"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful! It will be! DELICIOUS!" Jawsome and Ruby yelled at the same time, A resounding "YEAH!" coming from the rest of RWBY and Knuckles.
"Off with their heads!" Nora called. Tails took flight and grabbed Sonic's hands.
"Charge!" Jawsome retaliated, as he summoned a storm of Flame Shards.
"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby directed, the brawler stuffing her hands into the (mercifully cooked(have you seen an uncooked turkey?)) dead birds, slamming her fists together. Nora stabbed an iron bar through a watermelon, and the two heavy weapons girls met, Yang throwing a punch while Nora uppercutted with her melon-hammer-thing. Yang was the victim, being launched through the roof at near-terminal velocity. The victory was, however, short-lived, as Knuckles, using two hollowed out durians- durains? Durianis? The narrator chose that moment to give up and just say fruit. Knuckles punched Nora- hard, as he usually did- away and into the mountain of stuff. Meanwhile, Blake had procured a link of sausages (delicious), and Weiss had a swordfish. Moving in, Weiss dispatched Jaune with a blow to the wrist holding his tray-shield, and another to the hand holding his wood pole. Pyrrha and Blake fought each other to a standstill, Pyrrha's makeshift spear unable to allow her within striking range. Jawsome had taken on Sonic and Tails himself, using what seemed to be a carelessly dropped tomahawk-claymore-whatever-the-hell, made entirely out of bone. Logic had apparently decided to leave the cafeteria with the other students, away from the line of fire. At any rate, Jawsome, with his superior reach, kept Sonic and Tails at bay until Knuckles and Weiss joined the fight, where it devolved into a curbstomp to the outclassed hedgehog and two-tailed fox. Let the narrator pause, and drink. Water. Ice. Refreshing. Anyway, Pyrrha was now the last one out of her team standing, so she needed a desperation move. Remembering the soda, she called all the cans to her will, a cloud of canned sugary crap just up from actual sugar in nutritional value were it not for carbonation. It all homed in on Weiss, as Karma decreed Jaune had gone down too easily. The stream of metal filled with cavity causing liquid, despite literally being an oxymoron, slammed the heiress across the cafeteria. Ruby caught her unconscious body.
"Weiss? Weiss! NOOOOOOO!" In total mock drama mode. HD version for $5 more. Anyway, Ruby knew what to do. She stood, entered a running position…
And activated her Semblance.
In no time at all, she'd become a red blur, with Weiss, Blake, Jawsome, and Knuckles all holding onto something stable. The red blur shot past the other combatants, dragging them and other things in the jetstream. Ruby stopped before she hit the other wall, cracking it from the force. JNPR, Sonic, and Tails were also stuck to the wall, as soda, food, and other edible stuff splattered all over, creating one of the largest works of modern art in the history of Remnant.
That is seriously what modern art looks like.
The six defeated slid off the wall, just in time for Glynda to storm in. Pointing her… crop-wand? At the carnage, the scene of destruction rearranged itself to before…. Minus the food and students. As the last table bonked into place, she turned to the participants.
"Children, please… Don't play with your food." She said.
"...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAouf!" Yang chose that time to crash back into the hall. As Team RWBY, Jawsome and Knuckles began to celebrate their victory, Ozpin walked up behind Glynda.
"They are just children." He said gently.
"They are supposed to be our greatest defenders!" Glynda replied.
"And they will. But childhood is fleeting." The headmaster sipped his coffee.
A note from Jawsome
So, we haveth a new chaptereth hereth. Sorry. Anyways, please do leave your thoughts. I am but simple writer, trying to write story for your enjoyment. And I also just realized I can't really convey a Russian accent in writing without acknowledging it first. Fine.
Who's ready for RWBY Volume 4? Whenever the hell they decide to release it. It's like the new Half-Life 3 at this point. (Still waiting Valve.)
Also, I'd recommend you read Those Lacking Spines and Wiess Reacts, two hilarious fics taking potshots at the worst of fanfiction. They are far better than this, but then, this isn't much of a humor fic. Go figure.
Regards,
The Pyro Jawsome
