MROG
Summary: Mary, Ruby, Octavia, and Grace, a new team of girls at Beacon Academy years after the events of the RWBY series. When a new threat rises it's up to them to continue the legacy of team RWBY. Can they come together as a team to stop this new threat? Will Yang embarrass her two daughters in class? Only time will tell.
SPH: Hello! So, here's chapter four of MROG, and what makes this one extra special is my younger sister Ruby helped me with it! So, I do not own RWBY, or any places, or characters from it! Ruby belongs to Ruby and Grace belongs to Gracekim1. I only own myself, Octavia, and all other OC's. On with the story!
"Wake up lazy butts!" Kerri's voice cried as Blake and Vlad slowly woke up. "It's morning! It's morning! It's MORNING!"
She jumped around excitedly as she spoke. Blake shoved his pillow over his face.
"Ugh! Kerri, it's too early for this!" He groaned.
"Not when it's initiation day!" Kerri cried.
Blake sighed and got up!
"I can't believe we've been at Beacon a full 24 hours!" Kerri cried as they got ready, "Not that I thought we'd get kicked out or anything!" Kerri continued, "You're the perfect student and I'm, well I'm me!"
"But we've been a team for so long it's crazy! But in a good way, right?" She continued while packing up her pjs and sleeping bag.
Kerri, Vlad, and Blake were eating pancakes for breakfast.
"Right!" Kerri said still eating, "but still, I hope we'll once again be on the same team together!"
She slurped her pancake whole.
"Oh! I know!" She cried, "We'll come up with a plan to be on the same team! Maybe we could bride the Headmaster! No, he's got the school."
"Oh! I know! We'll create some kind of signal to find each other in the woods!" Kerri cried grabbing her gear, "Can you imitate a kangaroo?"
"Kerri," Blake said sheathing his sword.
"Yes?" Kerri asked.
"I'm pretty sure kangaroos aren't native here." Blake said.
Kerri froze, then smiled.
"That's why it's perfect!" She cried, "No one will suspect we're working together!"
"Come on," Blake said rolling his eyes, "let's get you some juice to balance out that bottle of syrup you drank at breakfast."
Kerri giggled as she followed her brother.
"I wonder what's with them." Ruby said as they passed, "That girl's super chipper."
"You mean Kerri?" Mary asked, "Based on what Blake told me about her yesterday, she probably drank an entire bottle of syrup."
"Okay, that's just weird." Ruby said.
"You drank three bottles of syrup in a row when you were eight!" Mary cried.
"Yeah, and it ended up disastrous!" Ruby said.
Flashback
"Eep!" Mary cried as Ruby raced around the house on a clear sugar rush.
"Mary! Come on! Try this! It's awesome!" Ruby cried hanging upside down from the pot rack in the house.
"Ruby!" Mary cried, "Get down from there!"
"Whoo!" Ruby cried swinging back and forth.
She ended up swinging so hard she sent the entire rack and herself flying into the china cabinet and knocking it over breaking everything inside.
"RUBY!" Mary cried in panic.
"Ooh! Mary! Look what I can do!" Ruby cried charging and arrow with fire dust.
She aimed for the open window right in front of a tree, but instead shot the arrow into the wall beside it setting the house on fire. What was worse was Yang walked back into the house at that very moment. She gave a scared yelp before putting the fire out.
"Ruby and Mary Xiao Long you both are in some much trouble!" she yelled turning to the girls.
"Cheese it!" Mary yelled grabbing her sister by the arm and taking off and out of the house.
End of Flashback
"Besides, you're the one who dared me!" Ruby added.
"Kerri's not the only one in a chipper mood, you know," Mary said, "you seem to be in one as well."
"Yup!" Ruby said, "No one awkward situations, or small talk! Today I get to let my bow and arrows do all the talking!"
"Well, just remember, you're not the only one going through initiation," Mary said braiding her ponytail; "if you wanna grow up you're going to have to meet new people and learn to work together."
"Ugh! You sound like mom and Aunt Ruby!" Ruby cried, "First off, what does meeting people have to do with fighting, and secondly I don't need others to help me grow up, I drink milk and eat a well balanced diet as well as getting proper exercise."
"What about when we form teams?" Mary asked.
"Oh, well, I'll just be on your team, or something." Ruby said turning away.
"Maybe you should be on someone else's team." Mary said undoing the braid and redoing it, something she only did when nervous.
"My dearest sister Mary, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me despite our promise to always do so?" Ruby asked leaning into Mary's face.
"No!" Mary cried, "But we can't be certain we'll end up on the same one, and it might help you break out of your shell to be on someone else's team."
"Break out of my shell!?" Ruby asked, "That's…"
"Ridiculous!" Vlad cried, "There's no way I put my gear in locke yesterday! I'd of remembered having to count that high!" he walked past Wildfire and Octavia. "Oh! Why does this have to happen today!?"
"So, Wildfire," Octavia said, "any idea of whose team you'd like to be on?"
"I don't know," Wildfire said shrugging, "I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may."
'Though it'd be nice to be on a team with Ruby, Mary, or Grace, or even on the same team as them all!' she mentally added.
"Well, I was thinking maybe we could be only the same team together!" Octavia said.
"Well, that sounds lovely!" Wildfire said smiling.
"Great!" Octavia cried.
'This is perfect!' Octavia thought turning around as a dark, murky purple could that had lighting flashing through it appeared behind her, 'The strongest girl in class combined with the smartest girl in class! Together we'll be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!'
"You know what else is great?" Vlad asked leaning against the locker between her and Wildfire, "Me! Vladimir Rays, but you can call me Vlad."
Octavia face palmed. How had she forgotten about this moron?
"You again?" Octavia groaned as she crossed her arms and scowled.
"Nice to meet you Vlad!" Wildfire cried moving in front of Octavia.
"Uh huh, you too." Vlad said before pushing her away, "So, Octavia, right? I couldn't help but over hear your fondness of me yesterday."
"You've got to be kidding me!" Octavia cried face palming again.
"No need to be embarrassed!" Vlad cried, "So, heard rumors about teams going around, I thought you and me would make a pretty good one, whatd'a ya say?"
"Actually, if I remember correctly, teams are made of four students each, so-" Wildfire started.
"That right?" Vlad asked, "Well hot stuff, play your cards right and you might end up on the winning team."
"Vlad was it?" Octavia asked, "Do you even know who you're talking to?"
"Not a drop Seashell." Vlad said.
"This is Wildfire Navenchea," Octavia said.
"Hello again!" Wildfire said cheerily as she waved.
"Wildfire graduated top of her class at Sanctum." Octavia said arms crossed.
"Never heard of it." Vlad said.
Octavia scoffed.
"She's won the Mistral Regional Tournaments six years in a row now, a new record!" she continued.
"That what?" Vlad asked.
"She's on the front of every box of Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!" Octavia cried jumping up and down and waving her arms in frustration.
Vlad gasped.
"That's you!?" he asked, "They only do that for cartoon characters and Extreme athletes!"
"Yeah, it's pretty cool; sadly the cereal isn't very healthy." Wildfire said as a backdrop of the box appeared and formed a cereal box with her face on the front.
"So, after all that do you really think you're in the position to ask her to be on a team with you?" Octavia continued.
"No." Vlad said sighing.
"Actually, I think you'd make a great leader Vlad." Wildfire said.
"Oh stop!" Vlad cried elated.
"Yes, please stop," Octavia said, "this sort of behavior shouldn't be encouraged!"
"Looks like Wildfire's onboard for Team Vlad!" Vlad said leaning into Octavia's personal space, "Spots are filling up quick, now I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull a few strings, find you a spot? Whatd'a ya say?"
"Okay, that's close enough!" Octavia cried backing up, "Wildfire, please, do something!"
Wildfire sighed and drew her sword and pressed it to her gauntlet fueling it with earth dust before stabbing it into the ground causing the floor to split and vines grown and tie Vlad to the locker.
"I'm sorry!" she cried.
"Would all first year students please repot to Beacon Cliff for initiation?" Weiss's voice said over the intercom, "Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."
"It was nice meeting you." Wildfire said as she walked past.
"Likewise." Vlad said sighing.
"Having some trouble there lady killer?" Mary asked cutting him free from the vines.
"I don't get it, my stepdad said all women look for is confidence, where did I go wrong?" Vlad asked.
"Seashell probably wasn't the smartest move." Mary said helping him stand.
"Hey, why did you call her that anyway?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, when I was little we went to the beach and Kerri found this really cool seashell that was the same shade of orange as Octavia's hair and had blue spots the same color as her eyes.
"Wow, talk about ironic." Ruby said.
"Ironic and iconic!" Mary said.
Ruby face palmed.
"Besides, her last name's Coral." Vlad added.
"Well, come on Vlad, let's get your stuff and get to the cliff." Ruby said helping him to his locker.
"You have trained for years to become a warrior, and your skills will be monitored and Evaluated in the emerald forest!" Oscar said.
"Now, I think you have heard rumors that "teams" will be picked, let me put a rest to the rumors, Team mates will be picked FOR you!" Weiss said.
"What!? Ohh..." Ruby said.
"These teammates are going to be with you for the next 4 years...So you better pick someone whom you work well with" Oscar said.
Ruby groaned.
"In fact, the person you make eye contact with is the person you'll work with for the rest of your time here, No Exceptions!" Oscar said.
Ruby has a shocked expression that mirrors her world cracking like glass and falling apart.
"Whaaaat!?" Ruby whined. Ruby groaned once again.
"I told you! See-!" Kerri said, "Wait, how do we make sure Vlad's on the team as well!?"
"Just have faith I guess." Blake said rolling his eyes.
"After you've partnered up make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition on the way do not hesitate destroy everything in your path or you will die." Oscar said.
Vlad laughed nervously then gulped loudly.
"You will be monitored and evaluated but us teachers, will not intervene; you will find a temple containing seven Relics! Each pair will have to choose one and return to the top of the cliff, you will guard that item with your life! You will be graded appropriately on your effort, are we clear? Any questions?" Oscar said and asked.
"Yes..um sir?" Vlad asked.
"Good! Now take your positions!" Oscar said.
Each student struck a pose on their Crouched low. Blake wielded his h sword while Kerri raised her staff that could turn into a spear, giant hammer, and sniper rifle and active the shield that came from her bracelet. Octavia her steadied her body While Vlad is still raising his hand.
"Um...Sir I've got um... a question," Vlad said as he missed the tile where Octavia raised up Into a springboard, Rocketing into the air, and over the forest, as the platforms activated down the line.
"So this...Landing Strategy Thing...Are you like...Dropping us off or something...?" Vlad asked.
"No, you'll be falling like everyone else...Vlad..." Oscar said.
"Oh, uh...I see...so like…Did you hand out any um...parachutes for us?" Vlad asked missing more students being launched.
"No, you'll be using your own, landing Strategy," Oscar said.
Vlad still didn't see an excited Kerri and Blake getting launched.
"Uh huh...Yeah..." Vlad said.
At her turn, Mary winked at her younger sister and put on a pair of Aviators and flies off with a "Woohoooooooo!" a second before Ruby joined her.
"So...What exactly is a landing StrategYYY!?" Vlad asked before he got hurled into the cloud of students, who were now making their way down into the forest below, now under the eyes of the teachers.
"You think they'll survive?" Weiss asked sarcastically.
"Oh they'll survive, I'm sure of it..." Oscar said. He then chuckled and sipped his tea.
SPH: Whew! Done, so, the top half I did while the entire event on the cliff was Ruby's, I just edited it some. Also, I've gotten a few reviews saying this is dumb and unoriginal and nothing but a copy of the RWBY series and I just want to say that you're wrong, there are going to be huge differeneces; however they aren't right away, this is basically a next generation story and the beining will be similar, yes, but closer to the middle is when the major changes start because that's when they're no longer awkward teens not sure where their place is and where their characters start experiencing the most changes in personality and heart, so before you leave comments like that just keep this in mind, they're in awkward situations at the beginning of the school year and are just getting used to each other and struggling to find who they really are, okay? If you can find the patentice to stick with the story and understand that this is how most kids are with first day of school experiences, you'll start seeing the changes, okay? Now, onto the questions! What's going to happen in the Emerald Forest? Who will team up with who? Will Ruby find me first? What are the relics this time? And no, they won't be chess pieces, just gonna get that out there, they will hold symbolic meanings though. Anyway, what is in store for our heroes? Also, for some reason it won't let me put in Vald's locker number, and cut off part of his line, so to clear things up, his locker is 6 2 6, and if you were wondering why he says his name is Vladimir Rays instead of Vladimir Shadow since Blake's his brother, it's because they're step-siblings, he and Kerri kept their biological father's last name after their mother married Blake Sahdow's dad. Well, this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now! Peace out and keep spreading the KH, HTTYD, and RWBY love!
