Well here's the last chapter before it goes on Hiatus. I haven't really seen as much interest in it as I would've liked plus I haven't really been enjoying it as much as I first had.
In a few days I'll post Phantom Spell, which is a fanfiction that I have really enjoyed writing. I started it two weeks ago and I'm already pretty far in it. It's a crossover between Danny Phantom and Harry Potter, the thing that inspired me to write it was 'TheIceRaven's fanfiction "The Magical Phantom". But there are very few similarities to it. In fact many stories in this crossover section are pretty amazing so if you get the chance I highly recommend them.
Chapter 10
Enrolling & Escaping
Beacon Academy ~ Headmaster's Office
Ozpin & Yuki
Yuki looked at himself in the mirror and nodded. "Alright, I have a uniform. What's next?"
"Not bad." To which Yuki only shrugged. "Well then, usually freshman undergo an initiation test where students are then placed into four-member teams. But you're a special case."
"Well what do you need me to do?"
"While you won't be eligible to join a team officially, the Council probably wouldn't allow it. We could place you with one temporarily. That is, of course, after you pass a little test."
Yuki looked at him exasperatedly, "Can I skip the math portion?"
Ozpin only chuckled.
Beacon Academy ~ RWBY Dorm
Team RWBY
Team RWBY sat in their dorm room, all of them with their thoughts running wildly. Weiss was still worrying about what Winter would do to Shara and her. Blake was wondering about what had caused the drone to stop its attack on her, while both Ruby and Yang were curious about Yuki, who Yang had 'officially' nicknamed 'Wolf Boy.'
"Sooo…" Yang stared at everyone awkwardly but before she could continue Weiss spoke up.
"What did you guys find out about the White Axis Rose?" She shifted uncomfortably only to wince. Her wounds were still somewhat fresh and she was only released from the medical ward because she had promised to take it easy.
"We know that the Schnee family was in charge. But you left…just like I did." Blake looked at Weiss apologetically.
"Is anyone else curious as to why Wolf Boy was frozen in that crystal?" Yang interrupted Blake and Weiss' 'heartfelt' moment.
Weiss looked at Yang in confusion, "There was a what?"
Ruby turned to Weiss equally confused. "I told you when you woke up, remember?" Seeing Weiss' helpless/false confident expression she repeated herself. "When the crystal exploded Blake found him in the rubble. He can't remember much other than his name." Weiss wore a confused expression that Ruby was quick to question. "What's wrong?"
"My grandfather, used to say that he found that crystal almost a hundred years ago… Wouldn't that make him more than a hundred years old?"
The girls were quiet for a moment before Yang said, "Well I think he looks pretty good for being an old geezer, in that case."
"But still if he starts to remember, imagine the shock he'll feel when he realizes that everyone he ever knew is gone…"
The others nodded their agreement before being interrupted by the sound of frantic running in the hallway. The four leaned their heads out and saw Team JNPR rounding a corner at high speed, though Nora was dragging a flailing Ren along. Another student was walking, considerably calmer, in the same direction. Team RWBY quickly cornered him, clearly invading his personal space.
"Where's everyone running off too?"
The boy, terrified of the four powerful girls, quickly said, "Professor Ozpin has arranged some kind of test in the arena for a new student."
The girls looked at each other panicked and quickly ran off towards the arena. He had just woken up; there was no way he was in any condition to fight, right?
Atlesium Flagship
Neo, Phantom, & Torchwick
Neo and Phantom had casually walked through the ships interior without incident though Neo had been a little nervous about being seen at first, but had quickly realized that so long as she was in direct physical contact with Phantom she was completely invisible to the guards eyes but could easily see Phantom and herself.
Phantom would never admit it but she had at one point gotten bored and ended up purposefully tripping multiple guards throughout their stroll through the ship.
They finally arrived in an overly large chamber. More than likely the ships main hold. Phantom glanced down the hall and saw two guards leaning against a wall, obviously bored, but between the two was what looked like a cell door. She silently squeezed Neo's hand and gestured towards the door and smiled devilishly.
Even though Neo couldn't see her face, she had a decent idea of what Phantom had planned. And couldn't help but give a demonic smirk as well, laughter freely dancing in her eyes. They happily strolled over to the guards and Phantom couldn't help but give a slight cough.
Both guards immediately jumped and stood at attention, then looked around curiously. The guard on the left turned towards his compatriot and asked, "Hey Biggs was that you just now?"
Biggs just shook his head and said, "I thought that was you Wedge… You think it was the prisoner?"
"Doubt it, he's been asleep for hours."
Biggs looked confused and asked, "Then who the heck was that?"
Suddenly Phantom and Neo shimmered into view and Phantom proudly proclaimed, "That would've been us." She smirked at their panicked faces for a split second before quickly kicking the two of them into the wall, effectively knocking them out.
Neo silently giggled before picking up a keycard from one of the guards and opened the door. Roman was leaning against the wall with an amused smile on his face. "So ladies to who do I owe this valiant rescue to?"
Phantom smiled underneath her helmet as Neo ran and tackled Roman in a hug. She then said in a friendly yet authoritative voice, "Your new employer."
Roman raised an eyebrow before looking towards his niece. "And what's your opinion?" Roman could only shake his head as Neo went and stood next to Phantom with a happy smile, a smile that Roman hadn't seen in a long time. "Alrighty then, boss lady. What'll we be doing, and how much is it worth to ya?"
Phantom only sighed as she grabbed the both of them and Neo teleported them out of Ironwood's warship.
So I put in a couple of references here. The more obscure one being Yang's "Wolf Boy" comment, I personally saw Yang's humor as a decent oppertunity to use the more random references that I'll be making. Anyway the Wolf Boy comment was a nod to Angie Sage's "Magyk" series. They are more child styled novels, but I enjoyed reading them so I thought why not.
The more blatant reference was with Biggs and Wedge who are reoccurring characters within the Final Fantasy franchise. While I've only played a handful of them (I enjoyed XII the most, blame the chocobos in X) I enjoyed them enough to decide to throw them a bone, so to speak.
