Hi again, and welcome to Chapter 4 of Awake in Remnant! I will try to introduce Team SSSN, but no promises. So don't forget to be awesome, and stay creative!
Darkness, Grimm attacking, Ruby crying as I am dying in her arms. I'm trying to figure out what this is trying to tell me. "Wake up! Wake up!"
"Wake up!" I stare at Ruby, who's hovering above me yet again.
"Please get out of my face, Ruby. I can't get up." I groan, still tired. She moves, and I move myself into a sitting position, "What's up?"
"It's Sunday! And only one week left until the Vytal festival!"
The Vytal festival. Now I know the time period. It would have to be sometime after Volume 2. I stand up, and get ready. Everybody else is already to go by the time I am. Then we get ready to go. Along the way, I see several banana peels lying around on the ground. I constantly pick them up and throw them in the trash bin. I rarely use my telepathy or telekinesis, but sometimes I will read a mind because I enjoy seeing what's going on in a certain head. I read Ruby's mind first, to see what she's thinking.
'I think I'll go ask what Tyler likes to do in his free time today. Probably fighting or something macho, considering how hard his abs are.'
I leave her mind, and go into Weiss'.
'Hmm, he certainly doesn't look like the fighting type. I'd say he's more intellectual in character.'
Blake's mind came next in line.
'I wonder if he's into anything other than books. I might need to investigate further into him.'
Confused, I enter Yang's head
'He's about the same age as my sister, so he'll probably go to her if he has feelings for anyone. I'd better watch out for him. He's quite the lady-killer.'
I leave her mind, and try to dive into my mental abilities. Gratifyingly, voices answer.
'Hello. We are the voices of your mind.'A female voice says, 'We have come to train you in your mental abilities. Before you ask why we haven't come to you, it is because you must come to us.'
'What can you teach me?'I ask.
'Everything about your abilities.'
'Well then, what are you waiting for?'
'Very well. You should start by learning Panoramic Vision, or Pan-Vis as called by its mentor. It is one of the easiest of your abilities, and uses no Aura. You already know Mind Reading and Basic Telepathy, those being the most basic abilities, and uses little to no Aura.'
'Very well. Let's learn Pan-Vis.'
'Ok. Pan-Vis allows you to see in multiple directions at once. You can have up to five different views. Let's start with right behind you. Just close your eyes, and think about what is behind you.'
I close my eyes, and imagine a scene in which people were bustling about, there were tall buildings. I open them, and I not only see what is in front of me, but what is behind me. I see a blonde haired boy walking with his blue haired friend.
'Sun and Neptune.' I think as Sun drops a banana peel on the ground.
'So, he's the culprit.'
I telepathically control the banana peel to follow Sun and Neptune, eventually getting the peeling to slide under Sun's descending feet. He slides downward as the peel shoots out from under his foot, and then he did the splits. He screams out in pain, and I instantly regret my choice.
"Holy Oum, are you alright?" I ask as I rush over to him.
He springs back up, then nearly falls back down.
"I'll be fine, really." Sun says in his best voice he can muster, which isn't very convincing.
"He's always like this. He never uses his Aura, and takes the consequences." Neptune says
"I do not!" Sun retorts.
"Well, then how come you didn't activate your Aura when you slipped?" I ask.
"I just prefer to save it for when I need it, that's all."
"You don't look like you do."
"Oh, come on! You'd do it too!"
"Maybe I do. But still, it isn't really helpful to anyone if you're like this."
Sun's attitude changes slightly.
"Anyway, can we, um, help you?" Neptune asks
"Nope. I came to help your friend here." I reply
A couple of other guys follow close behind. One is an African American (...er, African...Atlesian? Whatever it is here.) in a white trench coat with green accents, another in scarlet with hair over one eye. They turn to Sun.
"You okay, man?"
"I'm fine, guys." Sun smiles.
"Sorry to interrupt, but what can I call ya?" I ask
"I'm Sun," The monkey faunus piped up, "and this is Sage," He points to the guy in green. "Scarlet," The guy in red. "and Neptune." He points to Neptune.
"Hi, I'm Tyler."
Team RWBY I right behind, and due to Pan-Vis, I can see them clearly.
"Sorry, girls. I just wanted to help a guy out."
Ruby raises her eyebrows in surprise.
"How can he see us? We didn't make a sound!"
"Remember? Semblance."
"Ah. So have you helped him? We have plans, right?"
"Right. I'll be seeing you guys around."
The five of us walk one way, and Team SSSN walk the other. I turn off Pan-Vis, as it is getting annoying. I walk with Ruby for a while, and we go to a place called The Sun Shines Everywhere. I enter, and realize it's a church. Normally I wouldn't enter an establishment such as this, mainly because I don't believe in the concept of church, but I sit through the sermons, and call the hymns, and leave completely befuddled. Clearly the religion of Remnant isn't at all like the ones on Earth. Afterwards, we go to a racetrack. When we neared the track, I looked over to Ruby.
"I didn't know you enjoyed watching racing."
"I don't. I compete." Ruby replied
My eyes widen in surprise. I shrug, then I think maybe I should compete. Just to try driving.
I enter the driver's area, and sign up for a spot. Lucky for me, there was one spot left after Ruby. I climb into my assigned racecar, get my gear on, and set up to get to the track. Given that I was the last one to sign up, I was the last one of the track! I look at the flashing light. I know I can ram into others intentionally, but, I can also be rammed into. The light flashes green, and off we go. I immediately ram into a green car, number 60, and it starts a big pileup. After that, only 20 out of 75 racers are left. I notice Ruby in number 85, and I put the pedal to the metal, and I'm in third place, behind 28 and 14. I get rammed by a certain 85, but I shift to reverse gear, and continue racing. I spin back, nicking 85, but not quite putting her off balance. The end is near. I put on my gas, and I pass second. Most of the guys have used Nos to try and get past their spots, but that's just not how you do it. I am right beside number 18 and we are tied for first place. He fires his Nos, which boosts him into first.
"Too slow." I smirk as I fire my jets, and overtake him as I cross the finish line.
I slow down to a stop, and exit the car. We go through a big thing where I got a trophy, and there was confetti, and blah, blah, blah. When we left, we rendezvoused with the gang, and we had lunch at a new restaurant in town, which is one of the greatest foods on Earth. The beef curry-ish meal I had was a great mix of spices, meats, and a tad of fire Dust. Afterwards, I went with Yang at Junior's again, and danced like there was no tomorrow. When we finally got back, we got into bed, and sleep overtook us.
Well, that was a chapter! I will introduce new mental abilities for Tyler, and I will introduce other characters as I see fit. Also, even though it is a few chapters in advance, the romance is coming! Which girl do you think I should date, Ruby, Yang, or someone else? If someone else, please let me know who, even just an OC you came up with. All OCs are taken in with a grain of salt, and I give credit to the creator. But for now, don't forget to be awesome, and stay creative!
