Chapter 4:
"Crimson Ash. Omega Pi. Prost Blanco. Rosa Blanco. The four of you collected the black King pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team COPR. Led by... Crimson Ash!" Ozpin stated. He walked up to Crimson to congratulate her and muttered "I think you owe Mr. Pi 300 Lien, if I'm not mistaken" to which she turned to look at Omega, who was grinning.
Walking back down from the stage, Omega started laughing. "Y'know, I don't make bets if I don't think it's plausible" He grinned to Crimson.
"Fuck off" She half-laughed, a small smile on her face. Just as they reached their corner the next team was being called out.
"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winchester!" He spoke into the microphone infront of him, as before, congratulating Cardin on his leadership.
Prost subconsciously analysed their team, observing everything from their height, to the attitude they had surrounding them. "I'm thinking they may be trouble, maybe not in a fight, but their attitude almost drips of arrogance."
A brief silence fell over the group as they pondered this. About a second later, Rosa spoke up.
"You did it again" she said, smirking. "You analysed your potential opponents"
"Shhh! I want to see who's on the next team" Crimson said, silencing her team.
"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR. Led by... Jaune Arc!" Ozpin stated. The shocked look on Jaune's face easily noticed by every member of Team COPR.
"Interesting choice" Omega said, "I would have put Pyrrha as leader, but whatever"
"Well, I did hear that he was the one who formulated the plan to take down the Deathstalker, could be a wise decision on Oz's part" Prost replied as Pyrrha accidentally knocked Jaune to the floor, making Omega laugh.
"Shhhhh!" Crimson and Rosa shushed them.
"And finally: Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose!" Ozpin said into the microphone once more.
"Huh, shorty's the leader of their team?" Crimson said, rather surprised.
"She led the attack against the Nevermore, it was a well formulated plan, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was why. However, it's not the leadership skills that I'm worried about for that team." Prost replied, watching Yang crush the wind out of Ruby.
"Revenge of the Ice Queen?" Omega asked, a slight grin on his face from the phrase.
"That's one way to put it, yeah" Prost chuckled.
"Let's not worry about that for now, let's get to or dorm and sleep" Crimson ordered.
As they headed out of the Amphitheatre they passed Team CRDL, who just sneered at them. However this wasn't missed Omega, who just turned his head to face them. "See ya' on the sparring floor, shitbags!" Omega said to them, an innocent smile spreading across his face, as he changed his weapon into a railgun, causing some of CRDL to back away. "Ciao!" Omega said, before running up to his team.
Heading through the school they saw a few people in the training room, sparring, doing target practice, etc. "No time to wait, we gotta sleep, classes start tomorrow so it would be wise to get as much as we can" Crimson said.
"In other words, she's knackered and wants to pass out right now" Omega translated.
"Hey!"
"Just stating facts!"
This resulted in a high speed chase around the statue in the park. Eventually ending with Omega tripping over and Crimson catching up to him to punch him in the shoulder.
"So… which room are we in?" Omega asked, once they'd reached the dorms.
"Room 467" Crimson replied, "It should be along this corridor somewhere… 465… 466… Ah! 467"
They opened the door to reveal a rather empty room, 4 beds lined up against the back wall, shelves on the walls next to them and walls with nothing on them.
"So… unpack now? Or unpack tomorrow? Or both?" Omega asked.
"Well… if we unpack now, there'd be less chance for us to be late for class and we get less sleep. But, if we unpack tomorrow, there's more sleep, yet we'd be more likely to be late" Rosa said, contemplating their choices.
"So… unpack now?" Omega whined.
"Yes, Om. But, y'know, I packed marshmallows in one of these bags. If you unpack now, I'll give you some" Crimson replied, a mischievous smile playing across her face, making Omega's eyes widen. In no less than 5 minutes, all their stuff was out of the bags, it was either on the shelves, covering the walls, in the dresser, or under their beds.
"Well, that was easy, sleep? And also, marshmallows" Omega smiled at them.
"Alright, here you go" Crimson said, chucking a pack of strawberry marshmallows at him, "Alright, let's sleep, team!"
"Wooo!" Rosa cheered as she literally jumped into her bed.
As soon as Crimson shut her eyes, she was asleep.
But she was woken up in the middle of the night by the sounds of movement, she looked over to where it was and saw Omega twisting and turning over in his bed. Getting up, she walked over to him and prodded him awake.
"You alright?" She whispered.
"Yeah, just a nightmare" he replied, also whispering.
"Come on, let's go over here so we can speak with less chance of waking up the others." she said, pulling him over across the room, "So, what was it about?" She muttered, loud enough for him to hear.
"Well, it wasn't really a nightmare, it was more of a memory which was turned into a nightmare, I think you can guess which one" He said back.
"Yeah… I think I know which one..." She said, rubbing the top of her head.
She hugged him, just to calm him down "It won't happen again, we're becoming huntsmen and huntresses, we'll be able to protect ourselves by the end of this" she said.
"Yeah… I just don't trust that Cardin bloke..." he responded, "Prost was right, they're gonna be cuntbags. Watch out for them, if they find out, okay?" he continued, smiling a bit.
"You don't think I can handle them?" She asked, mock-hurt on her face. But glad he was back to his usual self.
"W-What?! No! You can handle them fine, just don't get into too big of a fight, okay?" he said, stuttering.
"Don't worry, I'll only mortally wound them" She smirked, turning to face her bed "I'll be fine."
Walking back to her bed she remembered the events from the day she met Omega, "Thank fuck he was there..." She muttered, not loud enough for anyone to hear, all the while looking at his left arm.
So sorry for this just being a bit of a filler chapter!
I'll be back to normal chapters next, but for the moment I'm trying to decide how to fit the team into the main canon without fucking everything up. Oh, and I'm starting to delve a little into backstory, for those who like that stuff (don't worry, I like knowing the characters too).
Anyway, as always, reviews will always be welcomed!
