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 everyone! So, here is MROG chapter 8! I'm extremely excited about this one because of possibly the biggest change in the series! I seriously hope you guys like it! I myself am very pleased. So, without further ado, I do not own RWBY, or any of the characters, or locations, they belong to Rooster Teeth, OC Ruby belongs to my little sister Ruby (Aishagirl12), and Grace belongs to Gracekim1, I only own Octavia, all other OC's, and myself. On with the story!
Ruby jumped from tree to tree as she raced to the temple, Octavia following on foot.
"Ruby! Ruby wait up!" Octavia cried as she struggled to keep up.
'Oh, she is in so much trouble when we get to the temple.' Octavia thought as she scowled and continued to run.
She was so caught up in her thoughts and trying to keep up with Ruby she ended up running into the leg of a giant spider Grimm called a Death Weaver. She gulped as the Grimm turned to her. She gave a nervous chuckle as it looked at her. The Grimm spotted her sword and roared.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Octavia screamed.
"Huh? Octavia?" Ruby asked. She turned around and realized Octavia hadn't lifted herself into the trees and had been following her on foot. "Octavia!" she screamed. She quickly jumped down and ran after her teammate.
"Aaaaah!" Ruby cried as she spotted Octavia and the Grimm, which had Octavia in two of its legs preparing to wrap her in a cocoon.
"Let me go you overgrown Rapscallion!" Octavia demanded trying to wiggle her way out of its grasp.
'Typical, the one Grimm they don't teach you how to fight back in Atlas is the one I run into during initiation.' She thought.
"'Don't worry Octavia! I'll free you!" Ruby cried. She got her weapon and readied them. "Let go of my friend you Overgrown Gorilla with 8 Legs!" Ruby cried.
"It's a spider!" Octavia cried.
"I know! I just felt like saying gorilla." Ruby said as she shot the arrow through the creature's first two eyes. She climbed onto its back, but it bucked her off. She managed to climb back on its back on. "You can mess with me, and you can mess with the makeup I barely ever use, but you Do Not! I repeat! DO NOT! Mess with my friends! Ultimate Combo!" Ruby cried. Ruby shot first heart darts to knock it out then shot an arrow through its heart to kill it, seeing either an animal's heart or seeing its weak spot was another one of her abilities.
"Aaaahhh!" Octavia said as the spider fell and died.
As it died its entire body shook and thrashed about sending both girls flying into the air.
"'OCTAVIA! Aaaahhhh!" Ruby said as she was falling herself.
"Grace did you hear that?" Mary asked waving a hand in front of Grace who only pointed a figure towards the sky.
"Heads up!" Ruby screamed.
"Ruby! I'll catch you little sis!" Mary cried.
"Aaahhh!" Vlad screamed from a distance.
"Hey Mary, you have another Sister?" Grace asked mockingly.
"Not that I know of, why?" Mary asked.
"'Because I think a girl's in trouble," Grace said.
The two older girls saw Vlad on the back of a Black and White Bee.
"Vlad!? That was him!?" They asked in Unison.
"'Not a relic! Definitely not a relic! Ahh!" Vlad said.
Vlad was bucked off the bee.
"Ahh!" Octavia cried as she continued to fall.
Vlad attempted to catch Octavia.
"Y-You caught me thank...you..." Octavia said as she realized gravity was not in their favor.
"'D'Aaaaaahhhhh!" they both screamed.
"Don't worry guys! I'll save you!" Ruby said still falling. "Semblance!" Ruby said as she shot her arrow towards them.
"What!? Are you!?...Cra...zy," Octavia asked. Octavia and Vlad were gently floating down in a blue bubble.
Vlad tripped and Octavia fell on him.
"It takes a lot of practice, to trip on literally nothing," Octavia said. "Wait! Ruby! You're still falling!" She said noticing her teammate was still in the air.
"Oh, wait, yep, aaaaaahhhhh!" Ruby said.
"Ruby! I'll catch you!" Mary cried again. Mary caught her. "Are you okay?" Mary asked.
"'Yeah, I'm okay," Ruby said.
"Are you okay, Octavia?" Ruby asked with slight concern for her new friend.
"Yeah! I'm fantastic!" Octavia said. She shot a look at Vlad. "Now we can all die together, and sing happy little camper songs until they find our corpses!"She finished.
"How'd you guys end up falling from the sky?" Grace asked.
Ruby opened her mouth to speak.
An explosion sounded followed by an Ursa wildly waving its arms.
"Yee-haw!" Kerri's voice cried from behind it, "Go Senor Honey Lover go!"
The Ursa fell over and died revealing Kerri riding on its back with her staff hooked on one of the spikes on its back.
"AW! He's broken!" Kerri whined. "Ew…" She muttered inspecting the Grimm.
"Kerri… please… stop trying to tame Grimm…" Blake panted as he bent over and leaned against a tree. "Kerri?" he asked taking note she hadn't replied right away like usual. He looked over at the Ursa and saw Kerri was no longer there, blue dashes outlining where she'd previously been standing.
"Ooh…" Kerri said staring at the tiara. She snatched it and put it on her head. 'I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!' she sang in her head.
"KERRI!" Blake yelled.
Kerri nervously laughed as she took the tiara off.
"Did Kerri just ride in on an Ursa?" Grace asked.
"I-" Mary started.
A couple of trees crashed and fell as Wildfire ran in the Death Stalker following. It tried to grab her, but she managed to use evasive maneuvers and ovoid it to an extent.
"Did Wildfire run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?" Grace asked.
"Argh! I can't take it anymore!" Mary cried as her hair caught on fire due to storing energy from how hot it was out, "Would everyone just calm down for two seconds without something crazy happening!?"
Everyone wait for Mary to calm down herself as a ticking sound was heard and while Kerri roasted a marshmallow on Mary's still flaming hair. A ding sounded soon after.
"Uhm, Mary?" Ruby asked pointing to the sky where two Giant Nevermores were circling overhead.
The Death Stalker managed to hit Wildfire sending her crashing face first onto the ground in front of everyone else's feet.
"Great, as Octavia said earlier, now we can all die together." Mary said laughing slightly.
"Not if I can help it!" Ruby said. She took off twords the Grimm.
"Ruby! Wait!" Mary cried, "I was joking…"
Ruby started firing her arrows, however; she ended up missing and having to turn back.
"RUBY!" Mary yelled running towards her.
Ruby tripped and fell. As she went to get back up the Giant Nevermore fired its feather, one of which pierced her skirt, pinning her to the ground.
"RUBY!" Mary yelled again, "Hurry! Get out of there!"
"I'm trying!" Ruby said trying to pull the feather out of the ground. She looked and saw the Death Stalker was too close for her to get away in time and cover her face.
Octavia used her semblance to grow a vine between two of the pillars of the temple that she used as a slingshot that shot her over to Ruby.
"Ice do my bidding!" She cried freezing the Death Stalker in place.
"That was insane, reckless, and overall the dumbest thing you've done all day." She said as she helped Ruby remove the feather.
"Yeah, I now realize that," Ruby said, "I just wanted to keep you guys safe."
Octavia smiled and shook her head.
"Whoa," Ruby said peaking around the ice.
"Ruby!" Mary cried making Ruby turn around before she hugged her. "I'm so happy you're okay! Now pick a relic and let's go! There's no point in staying here!"
"She's right." Wildfire said standing back up, "Our mission is to get a relic and report back to the cliff, so let's do it."
Ruby nodded. She spotted Mary's relic before snatching the other peach. Vlad picked up the crown.
He put it on his head and Kerri put the tiara back on. The two siblings then stood back to back and crossed their arms while they smirked.
"What are you two doing?" Mary asked sweat dropping.
The Death Stalker started to break free.
"It's time we left." Blake said.
Ruby nodded.
"Let's go." She said.
"Right." The group said heading back to the cliff.
Mary paused for a moment as Ruby jumped onto a rock and looked back at the group.
'You've grown so much,' she thought, 'I miss the little girl who always needed me, but you've made me so proud.'
"Mary?" Grace asked.
"I'm fine, let's move." Mary said heading after the group.
The group headed east and found old ruins of a bridge and what might have been an attempt at a village once upon a time.
"Quick question, how many places like this do you think are in this place?" Mary asked, "I mean, mom and Aunt Ruby said after they got their relics they had to fight Grimm on an old stone bridge over a deep valley, isn't it a bit weird we just happened to run into one as well?"
The Nevermores flew over head making the group duck behind pillars. They then pearched on top of pillars themselves.
"Well that's just perfect." Octavia said.
"Uhm, guys," Vlad said, "here come bugs one and two."
Everyone turned to see the Death Stalker and bee heading for them as well.
"And that's even better." Blake said rolling his eyes.
"Well we can't go around them, or out run them," Grace said, "it'd be suicide."
"Then we fight!" Kerri cried raising her staff.
Everyone took off towards the bridge instead.
"Kerri!" Blake cried as a Nevermore started toward his sister.
"On it!" Kerri cried. She turned her staff into a sniper rifle. "Eat dust fueled bullets you over grown raven!" she cried as she fired. All it did though was agitate it. "Uh-oh," Kerri muttered. She gave a nervous laugh then raced onto the bridge with the others.
"Uhm, we have a giant bug six o'clock!" Vlad cried spotting the Death Stalker.
Wildfire turned and started firing, motioning for the others to try and get away, however, only Mary, Octavia, Ruby, Kerri, and Vlad managed to get a safe distance away before the bridge was dive bombed by one of the Nevermores.
"Seriously!?" Vlad cried, "What'd we ever do to you!?"
"Yeah!" Kerri and Ruby cried.
Vlad looked over at Wildfire and the others. Blake barely back flipped out of the way of the Death Stalker's claw in time, and Grace got thrown on her face.
"Kerri, they need help!" He cried.
"Then let's supply it." Kerri said.
"Yeah, but, uh, I can't make that jump." Vlad said looking down at the edge of the now broken bridge.
"Leave that to me." Kerri said using her staff to push him back.
"What are you doing?" Vlad asked.
Kerri turned her staff into a giant hammer and grinned as she looked back.
"Oh no…" Vlad said realizing what his sister was about to do.
Kerri turned and smashed it onto the bridge sending Vlad flying.
"Not again!..." he cried as he was launched into the air before crashing onto the bridge.
Kerri grinned as she shot gravity dust out of her hammer sending her over to her brother and friends, and accidently knocking Grace off the bridge.
Grace gave a startled yelp before closing her eyes and activating her semblance, her creativity. She imagined a grappling hook in her hand that she was using to swing to safety, and moments later one appeared and she safely landed on another ledge. One other the Nevermores flew by and she jumped onto it, attacking with her sword, then her pistils before jumping onto the ledge with Mary, Ruby, and Octavia.
"They're tougher than they look!" She cried panting.
"Well," Mary said as she and Ruby looked around. Moments later they caught each other's eyes. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Mary asked.
"Probably." Ruby said smiling.
"We have a plan!" They cried.
"Octavia, Grimm aren't fire proof! Not Giant Nevermores anyway, can you control fire?" Ruby asked.
"It's naturally formed in nature is it not?" Octavia asked.
"Just answer with a yes or a no." Ruby said.
"Yes I can control it!" Octavia cried.
"Perfect!" Mary said, "You and I will catch one on fire, then I need you to completely coat it in ice once it's over the valley."
"I'll weaken the other with my arrows and lure it to that cliff!" Ruby said pointing at the cliff across from the end of the bridge, "Grace, can you use your semblance to create Glyphs?"
Grace nodded.
"Good," Ruby said.
"Once Ruby has it lured we need Octavia to create a vine like she did at the temple, only we need it to be able to launch both me and Ruby to the Cliff," Mary said, "Grace, we'll need you to create Glyphs for us to stand on when launched, then we need you to create ones that will allow us to run up the side of the cliff, it's too steep to climb by hand and has no foot holds."
"I'll continue usuing my arrows, alternating ice and fire, which will make it in a stunned confused state." Ruby said.
"Which will make it so it won't put up a fight while I drag it up the cliff with my scythe." Mary said, "Once at the top me and Ruby will deliver the final blow!"
"You two came up with the exact same plan without even needing to discuss it?" Octavia asked.
"Yep!" Mary cried, "We're so close we can practically read each other's minds!"
The Death Stalker pierced its stinger in the bridge, making it so it would fall into the valley.
"Move!" Vlad cried. Once across he noticed that one, the Death Stlaker's stinger was about to fall off, two, the bee was coming, and three, the bee seemed to be trying to follow the light reflecting off Kerri's hammer.
"Kerri!" He cried, "Try to get the bee to follow you! I think it's attracted to light!"
"My pleasure!" Kerri cried. She turned into a beam of light and shone right in the bees eyes. "Here Senor Honey Maker! Come follow Kerri!" she cried, though no one actually heard her.
The bee followed her as she headed towards the Death Stalker. Once she was in front of her brothers again she turned back into a person.
"No reflect light onto the Death Stalker with your hammer." Vlad cried.
"Come on Senor Honey Maker! Come catch the light!" Kerri cried making Blake face palm.
The bee followed the light until it was right above the Death Stalker.
"Blake! Take care of the bee's stinger, Wildfire, you handle the Death Stalker's stinger, and Kerri, the stinger should fall on both the bee and Death Stalker, once it does, hit it with the hammer!" Vlad cried.
"Aw! You mean I have to break them?" Kerri whined.
"KERRI!" Vlad and Blake cried.
"Fine…" Kerri muttered.
Blake jumped and used his sword to slice off the bee's stinger before landing behind it and the Death Stalker. Once he landed Wildfire shot the Death Stalker's stinger, which as Vlad had said, landed on both Grimm.
"Sorry Senor Honey Lover!" Kerri cried before slamming her hammer onto the stinger, killing both Grimm.
"Wow, I can't believe that actually worked." Vlad said feeling proud of himself.
"What's the matter!?" Mary asked as she set a Nevermore on fire, "Can't handle the heat?"
Octavia rolled her eyes as she turned her sword back into a riding crop and pointed it at the Nevermore, adding more fire as her crop glowed with fire dust.
"And now!" Mary yelled jumping and using the gravity dust in her scythe to get back to the bridge.
Octavia switched her crop into a sword and pointed it at the Nevermore.
"Ice do my bidding!" she cried as ice coated the Nevermore from beak to tail, and wing to wing. She smiled as it fell and gave a small, hissed "Yes!" when she heard it reached the bottom.
"Alright! Faze two!" Ruby cried.
Octavia nodded and created the vine while Grace made the Glyphs.
"From what I've gathered from yesterday and today, it only makes sense you two would come up with something this crazy." Octavia said as she made the vine pull back.
"Can you make the shot, or not?" Mary said rolling her eyes.
"Can I?" Octavia asked smirking.
"Ca…" Ruby started.
"Of course I can make the shot!" Octavia cried.
"Perfect." The two sisters replied.
Octavia fired and both girls landed on the cliff wall, Mary with the Nevermore's head held against the wall with her scythe. Grace quickly made the Glyphs and the sisters took off running, Ruby firing fire and ice arrows, and Mary keeping the Grimm pinned to the wall as she ran. Once at the top Ruby fired an arrow right between the eyes while Mary sliced its head off.
"They did it!" Octavia and Grace cried as the sisters walked over to the edge.
"I can't believe their crazy plan actually worked." Octavia said as both girls waved at them.
"Never underestimate the power of family, or teamwork." Grace said, "It took all of us to make sure it worked."
Back up on the cliff Mary and Ruby smiled as they layed their arms over each other's shoulders and smiled down at their friends.
"Lucas Winchester, Kent Thrush, Rey Dove, and Alex James," Oscar said, "the four of you received the paper cranes, from now on you shall be known as team LARK, lead by…" Oscar paused for a dramtic effect. "Lucas Winchester."
There was applause as team LARK left the stage and Wildfire, Vlad, Kerri, and Blake walked onto it.
"Blake Shadow, Wildfire Navenchea, Kerri, and Vlad Rays," Oscar said, "you retrieved the crown and tiara, you shall now be known as team VWKB (Ver-wi-k) lead by," Oscar once again paused. "Vlad Rays."
Blake Shadow's eyes turned into white dots with thick black outlines and his jaw dropped while Kerri bounced up and down with joy.
"Yay! My little brother's learder of team VWKB!" she cried.
"I told you you'd be a great leader." Wildfire said smiling. She punched Vlad in the shoulder making Vlad fall over.
Over half the audience laughed as Vlad hit the ground.
Blake Shadow shook his head and smiled as he helped his brother up onto his feet.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm sure you'll be great as team leader." He said, "I never expected you to be leader, but if Oscar thinks you're good enough to be one, so do I!"
The siblings and Wildfire smiled as they left the stage.
"And finally Grace Kim, Octavia Coral, Ruby, and Mary Xiao Long," Oscar said, "you all retrieved the stemmed peach with a leaf. From now on you shall be known as team MROG and are the first team to have two leaders,"
A huge gaps was heard though out the auditorium.
"Your leaders are," Oscar said before once again pausing, "Mary and Ruby Xiao Long!"
Both girls gasped before hugging each other while jumping up and down. Grace smiled looking at the sisters while Octavia held the same Expresion as Blake Shadow when Vlad was announced leared of team VWKB, only she didn't snap out of it.
"Oh! I'm so proud of my little girls!" Yang cried running on stage and hugging her daughters.
"Gack! Mo-om!" Both girls cried.
Weiss and Blake Belladonna laughed at the sight of their teammate hugging and embarrassing her daughters while Glenda Goodwitch and Oscar only shook their heads.
"Well," Oscar said, "by the looks of things, this is going to be a very interesting year."
"Hopefully not as interesting as when team RWBY were students." Glenda said. She turned to Weiss and Blake Belladonna. "No offence towards you, but I for one would not like to have a repeat of that time period."
"Well, I highly doubt that there will be giant robots rampaging through town, or trains filled with Grimm crashing into Vale." Blake Belladonna said, "But I have to agree, I can just tell this is going to be a very interesting year."
"Especially since there's a team with two leaders." Weiss added.
Blaze was bent over a table with a scroll to his ear. He set it down and sighed. A man who had a mask over his face pushed a cart with numerous cases over. Blaze handed him some lein.
"Open it," Blaze said.
The man did so revealing the cases to be full of dust crystals. Blaze picked one up.
"We're gonna need more men." He said looking at it. he turned back to the table where a note reading 'Stop this Blaze, she wouldn't want this! ~ L' was placed under a map that had red x's almost everywhere on it. "Little sister's getting too close for comfort." Then he started laughing like a nutcase.
SPH: Ta-da! So, what'd you all think? And to clear up Grace's semblance, it's her creativity, all she has to do is imagine something and her semblance creates it, though it has an hour only time limit, it can't exist longer than that. Also, I've been told that since this isn't an anime I don't need to add the anime effects, but I honestly really enjoy them and while most of my anime fanicitons are in notebooks in my room, I always add the anime effects in anime fanfictions, I just really enjoy adding them, and it makes sense in amine's to have them in it, so in my opinion it makes sense for them to be in anime fanficitons as well. As for team VWKB, I could not come up with an actual word for their team name, so I just made it that, and the b is silent, which represents Blake Shadow as he's normally very quiet and prefers to be alone and "keep in the dark". So, what's in store for our new teams? Wil Mary and Ruby make good team leaders? Is Yang going to continue to embarrass her daughters? Why wasn't Ruby at the ceremony? And who exactly is L? Well, this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now! Peace out and keep spreading the KH, HTTYD, and RWBY love! See ya!
