We have made it everyone, season two is upon us. *Getting teary eyed and choked up as I stare off into the distance* I never thought I'd make it this far with my first story being as successful as it is. *Slaps face back to normal* With the emotional episode over, let's hit the ground running with one of the most loved episodes in RWBY. With that said, there's only one thing left to say...FOOD FIGHT!

Christmas break had, sadly, winded down to and end. After arriving at Beacon, we found ourselves sitting in Beacon's cafeteria the day before our second semester of our freshman year would begin. We all were enjoying lunch as we conversed back and forth about our break. Nora talking adamantly about what Ren and her did. Pyrrha told us she had a quiet, but relaxing break. Jaune...what he described was a personal description of hell. Christmas with his parents and seven sisters was chaotic and how he's still alive, I'll never know.

As we were talking, Yang looked over at Blake who was reading some sort off notebook, "What'cha doooin?"

Blake looked up startled and quickly closed the book before any of us could see what was inside of it, "Nothing, just going over notes from last semester."

Yang quickly looked back across the table and caught a airborne grape in her mouth that had been launched by a giggling Nora. She chewed before turning back to Blake, "Laaaammme." She caught another grape and hummed in approval, giving Nora a thumbs up.

Blake was about to respond before Ruby suddenly came out of nowhere and slammed a huge-ass binder onto the table labeled "Best Day Ever Activities" with "Vytal Festive Activities - Property of Weiss Schnee" scribbled out. "Ah-hem, siblings, friends...Weiss." The insultee cried out in indignation, "Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream."

Yang leaned forward, "This oughta be good."

"I dreamed that the five of us would come together, as a team, and have the best day...ever" Ruby exclaimed!"

Weiss looked closely at the bundle of papers that was causing the reinforced lunch table to bend in on itself, "Did you steal my binder?"

Ruby leaned forward and gave double peace signs, "I am not a crook."

Blake raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"

Ruby put a hand on her hip and made a gun with the other, "I'm talking about starting this semester off with a bang!"

Yang grinned widely, "I like to kick my semesters off with a Yang!" Her grin widened even further as she looked between us all, "Eh, guys, amiright?" An apple bonked Yang in the head as Nora went "Booooo".

I shook my head with a small smile on my face, "As entertaining as it is to watch you cause pain to our fellow classmates, and while I kinda enjot your jokes most of the time, you gotta stop it with the puns Yang you're killing everyone else."

Yang pouted, "But no puns for seven days makes one weak."

I just stared as the others groaned and her pout broke into her trademark grin. "Out of all your personality traits, your puns have got to be the most painful for people close to you."

Yang just smiled, "Eh, it's part of my charm." She then wrapped her arms around my neck, "It seemed to catch your attention."

I turned my focus to the roof thinking, "You're right, I should've thought it through before-hand, I have no idea about what I've gotten myself into."

Yang pretended to be offended, "Well, if that's how you feel theeeenn…" she put a finger to her lips while she thought, "no more kisses from me."

I smiled, "That seems like it would hurt you more than it would me."

Yang thought about that for second before she pouted and turned away from me with crossed arms while Blake picked up where we had left the last conversation off, "Well, I don't know, maybe I'll just sit out on what you have planned Ruby." She then quickly corrected herself, "Not that I mean that what you have planned will be boring, I just don't know."

Weiss wasn't having it, "Sit out or not, I believe whatever we do, we should do it as a team." She stood up like she was about to give an important speech, "I for one think tha-" *SPLAT*

A pie hit Weiss in the face causing us all to turn wide-eyed at Nora as she quickly pointed at Ren. Ruby threw her head back and yelled out, "FOOOOOOD FIIIIIIGHT!" After that...all hell broke loose. Yang tossed Jaune over her shoulder before, surprisingly, Pyrrha tackled Yang with what appeared to be slight anger. Weiss launched the entirety of the food supply on our table at JNPR while Blake chucked whatever came to hand with a precise accuracy.

I, of course, was watching everything unfold next to the safety of the doorway. At the sound of it opening, I turned around find Sun and some other guy with blue hair standing there with very different expressions. Sun looked very excited while his friend looked horrified, and rightfully so. When I turned back, I saw Yang go orbital when Nora hit her with a watermelon rendition of Magnhild.

I ran under the hole and looked up only to see a golden speck disappear with form sight as Yang flew higher and higher, "Okay, this is getting a little out o-"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" *CRASH*

I spun around again to find Blake KO'd and Ruby hold a severely dazed Weiss while a huge stone pillar came crumbling down. At the sight of my entire team sans Ruby down for the count, I turned to the source of the damage, "That's it." I teleported over to Ruby as she stood up and looked defiantly at JNPR, "I'll set them up, you knock 'em down." With that I teleported in front of JNPR several times, effectively blocking their view of Ruby with mist. As soon as I felt the swirling wind and heard the clattering dinnerware, I teleported in front of JNPR one last time and gave them a mocking salute before disappearing, revealing the whirlwind of food heading straight for them. Set and match.

As JNPR peeled themselves off the wall they had been plastered to, I regrouped with my team. Blake looked none the worse for ware. Weiss' only injury was a small bump on her head. Aaaaaannnd, "Where's Yan-" *CRASH*!

Yang sat up and shook her head, "Wow, that was a big explosion...did anyone get a picture?" Getting head shakes in the negative, she huffed before looking down at what had softened her fall to find herself straddling me while birds and music notes circling my head. After a few seconds, my vision cleared enough for me to see everyone laughing and began to sit up. Yang didn't move and just looked back at me grinning, "Did my warrior fight well?"

I shook my head mournfully, "I was merely the distraction milady, thy sister got the final kill."

Yang hummed before leaning forward and tapped her lips with her finger, "Then you'll have to make up for it." I rolled my eyes and gave her a small kiss that lasted a few second before pulling away. She pouted, "I know you can do better than that."

I nodded my head, "I know I can," I then jerked my head towards the door, "but I won't with Ozpin, Ms. Goodwitch, and the other watching."

Everyone's head snapped up at such a fast speed that I was worried their neck might break as they turned to the door, just now realizing that the headmaster and Goodwitch were standing there. Ms. Goodwitch looked like she was about to rain hell down atop of us before Ozpin said something which caused her to stop and look at us, especially me, with something akin to sadness, or remorse. After she repaired the damage to the cafeteria she turned back to us, "Students, please return to your dorms and clean up. You have a busy first day back tomorrow."

We all nodded our heads and quickly left. Once we were down the hall, everyone but Ren and I burst out laughing while we just smiled. Yang wiped tears from her eyes while she tried to stop laughing, "I tho-I thought we wer-we were dead!"

Weiss had stopped laughing and motioned back towards the lunch hall, "We're just lucky that Ozpin is very lax and was able to stop Ms. Goodwitch."

I nodded my head in agreement before catching whiff of something putrid. I glanced over at Yang who had be latched onto my arm the entire time and saw the mixture of food that covered her along with the rest and RWBY and JNPR. I quickly covered my nose as Blake did the same. Yang saw us and raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with you two?"

I pointed at her, "Food, clothes, sweat, and hair don't mix well."

As soon as I had said hair, Yang grabbed her's and found it tangled with food, stone, and dust. She shrieked and took off sprinting to their dorm to get to the showers faster with her teammates close on her heals. JNPR said their goodbyes and walked inside their dorm, not nearly as concerned as my team was about their hair and clothes. I stepped into my room and set the shower to hot as I set out some exercise shorts and a gray t-shirt to change into, planning to head to the gym after my shower. Once I stepped out, I heard my scroll buzz, alerting me about a received message. Picking it up, I found a message from Yang, telling me they were going to the library after they had cleaned up. I replied saying that I'd catch up with them after I got back from the gym.

-][-

Two and a half hours later, I was showered and walking over to the sound of Yang yelling out in triumph about something. Rounding the corner, I stopped and stared at what was in front of me. First thing I saw was Blake who, I now realized, looked like she hadn't slept in a week. On the other hand, the far more humorous sight was of Ruby in Weiss' arms while they comically cried about something that had made Yang sit there with her arms crossed and looking very proud of something.

Right as I was about to say something, I heard someone speak up behind me, "Sup losers?"

Ruby jumped out of Weiss' arms and waved at the new arrivals, "Hey Sun."

He nodded, "Ruby, Davian, Yang, Blake, Ice Queen."

Weiss threw down her cards in annoyance, "Why does everyone keep calling me that?"

Sun ignored her as he pointed behind him at the blue haired guy I saw in the cafeteria, "I never got to formally introduce you to my good friend Neptune."

The now named Neptune looked between the board-game and a loudly snoring Nora, "Um, aren't libraries for reading?"

Ren threw his hands into the air and yelled out, "Thank-you!"

Nora woke up with a snort, "PANCAKES!"

Sun hit Neptune in on the shoulder, "Shut up, don't be a nerd."

As soon as he heard nerd, Neptune put his hand up to stop Sun, "Apupupup, intellectual, okay, thank-you." He turned back towards us, "I'm Neptune."

Weiss looked at Neptune up and down a bit before tilting her head to the side a bit, "So Neptune, where you from?"

Neptune smiled, "Haven," he walked suavely over next to Weiss, "aaand I don't think I caught your name…Snow Angel."

I raised an eyebrow, thinking Weiss wouldn't react to one of her most hated nicknames well. Ohhhhh am I glad I was wrong. Weiss smiled a little, "Ummm, I'm Weiss."

Yang and I both held in our laughter as Jaune looked over at his team bewildered and whispered, "Are you kidding me?!"

Neptune, (and Weiss) now both were completely oblivious to any of us continued, "Pleasure to meet you."

Sun shook his head at his partner before leaning over the table by Blake, "I never took you for the board-game playing type."

Blake just stared, rather annoyed at Sun, "Right. Well, I think I'm done playing actually." She stood up and pushed past Sun, "I'll see you later."

Sun looked utterly confused as he turned back to us, "Did I say something, what's wrong with Blake?"

I stood up and walked after her, "I don't know." Walking in the direction Blake had went. I looked to my lower right as I passed the railing and found her on the first floor using the computer. I leaned both arms on the railing and tried to figure out what had her so bothered that last couple of days.

As I was doing so, I felt a familiar warmth wrap her arms around my torso and rest her chin on my left shoulder, "What's she doing?"

I shrugged lightly, "I don't know. She's researching something but I can't tell what." I stood straight up and turned fully towards Yang, "You see her much more often than I do, have you noticed anything odd within the last couple days?"

Yang nodded her head, "Yeah, I have. She won't come back to the dorm until she's forced to by the curfew and any free-time we get she's always gone." Yang lightly kicked the carpet in frustration while looking down at her shoes, "I don't know what's wrong with her and it's bothering me."

I looked back over my shoulder at Blake to find her not only in front of the computer, but now surrounded by books as well. I sighed, "Have you tried talking to her?"

Yang motioned at Blake with her hand, "Of course I have, but she keeps brushing me off." Yang slumped, "I don't know what to do."

My frown deepened as Yang got more and more upset. I pulled her into a hug and rested my chin on top of her head, "We can't do anything about it now. Blake's stubborn, we know that. We'll just have to wait for the right time to talk to her." I slipped my scroll out of my pocket and glanced at it before putting it away, "Come on, they'll be closing the library in half an hour to get us back to our dorms for tomorrow." I nudged her back towards the others, "Go have fun with the others and finish your game while I try to get Blake back to your dorm to sleep."

Yang looked behind us at our laughing group of friends and sighed as she pulled away from me, "I'll try," she got on her tiptoes and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, "and thanks."

I smiled softly and nodded as I lightly pushed her back towards the others while I walked down the stairs to deal with a certain feline faunus. By the time I reached her, most everyone had left and she was lost behind the mountain of books that had formed a protective barrier between her and the rest of the world. I shook my head at the barrier as the librarian walked over looking rather annoyed, "Please remind her to return all those books to the cart before leaving. I do not relish the thought of having to hunt them down."

I nodded my head before pulling aside a wall of books and ducked inside to find a space no bigger than two by three feet with the only light source being the computer screen and any light that managed to sneak its way through a crack in the wall. Blake was so completely immersed in whatever she was looking at on the computer, she didn't even hear me come in. I peered around Blake's head to find her fiercely reading an article about a recent White Fang attack.

I sighed, "Blake…you have to leave that life behind."

I must of startled her because her hair stood on end as she quickly spun around. When she saw me she glared, "How can you say that?!" She pointed at the White Fang symbol on the screen, "How can you just sit by and watch them hurt more innocent people? I would've thought you'd be the first person to step up to stop them!"

I shook my head, "I don't want to be the one to step up to them Bla-"

Her face contorted into one of barely contained rage, "How can just watch INNOCENT people die?!"

I grinded my teeth, "I never said I'd let them kill people, but I won't be going out and searching fo-"

She threw her hand in the direction of the screen again, pointing to a number showing the known number of deaths caused by the fang. "LOOK AT THAT! Hundreds, nearly thousands of people have met their end before their time and you're just going to stand there like...like-"

I snapped, "Like what, like I'm afraid?!" I point to several scars that littered my arms and face, "I have EVERY right to be afraid." I paused and took a breath to calm down before pulling her out of the book fort and pointed at JNPR, Ruby, and Weiss as they walked out, "The Fang doesn't know I'm alive, so as far as they're concerned, I've payed the ultimate price." I turned back to her, "If they find out I'm alive again, there's a high chance they won't leave Yang, Ruby, Weiss, any of you alone anymore. They wanted me to suffer as much as I could and they'll stop at nothing to achieve that." By now Blake was staring at the floor in shame. Still angry, I took another calming breath before speaking, "Go get some sleep or so help me I'll drag you back to the room myself."

Blake nodded her head, acting like she had back in the Fang when we were little after she did something bad and got caught. After she left, I leaned against the wall and slid down, utterly exhausted. I leaned my head against the wall as I thought about what I just said, "I over did it."

"Ya think?" I sluggishly glanced to my left to find Yang standing there looking concerned, "What happened?"

I shook my head, "She's stubborn, like I said. Unfortunately that forced me to yell at her when I didn't mean to."

She pursed her lips, "Did it need to be said or do you regret saying it?"

I sat there for several seconds, "I honestly don't know Yang, I don't know."

Yang stood there in silence before offering me hand which I took gratefully. Once I was on my feet, Yang held my face in her hands, "I didn't hear exactly what you said, but it sounded like it needed to be said. I'm sure you didn't mean any harm and you'll be able to apologize to Blake in the morning."

I thought about that and nodded my head as we both walked back to our dorms, ready to hit the hay. Right as we reached RWBY's dorm, we ran into something unusual. Ruby ran by, mumbling something about her board-game, leaving three people in uniforms I didn't recognize standing outside the dorm room. When we got closer, they all turned to find Yang and I standing there. There was a guy with silver hair, a girl with mint green hair, and another girl with obsidian hair and glowing eyes that reminded me of…something, but I'm unsure of what. Unknown to me, the first boy and girl eyes widened and seemed to do a slight double take before schooling their faces into a 'Who are you' look.

Yang, completely oblivious to any of this waved, "Hello, can I help you with something?"

The obsidian haired girl shook her head and motioned the other two to follow her, "No need, the red cloaked girl already gave us directions." As she passed me, her eyes seemed to bore into mine, searching for something. My gaze followed them the entire way down the hall. The girl looked back at me one last time before disappearing around the corner.

Yang put a hand on her hip, "That was…weird." When I didn't reply, she looked over to find me deep in thought, still staring at the spot where the woman disappeared. She nudged my arm, "What's wrong?"

I furrowed my eyebrows, "I just have the weirdest feeling I've seen them before, but for the life of me I can't remember when."

Yang hummed, "That's odd, you usually have a really good memory."

I grunted in agreement before Yang kissed me goodnight and walked into her dorm, leaving me to my thoughts. I stood there for a few more minutes, straining to remember but to no avail. I gave up and walked into my room only to catch the tail-end of a conversation in RWBY's dorm, "Okay, all in favor of being the youngest huntresses to single handedly bring down a corrupt organization conspiring against the kingdom of Vale, say I."

I heard Yang yell out, "YES, I love it when you're feisty."

Then I heard Weiss sigh, "Well, I guess it could be fun."

I opened the door connecting our rooms, unknown to the four occupying it. Blake looked relieved, "Alright then, we're in this together."

Ruby held both her arms in the air, "Let's hatch a plan!"

"Like hell you are" I said.

All four of them spun around, surprised at my sudden interjection. Yang's face lit up, "Davian, what to help us take do-"

I immediately shook my head, "No I'm not, and neither are any of you."

Yang faltered, "Wha-what do you mean no?"

I fling my hand in the direction of the window towards Vale, "I am not going to let you four run off and get yourselves killed fighting a group of people that should be left to professional huntsmen!"

Blake pleaded, "Davian please, we only want to hel-"

"No," I snapped, "we've already talked about this and I'm not going to repeat myself. If you four try to run off I'll stop you myself."

Yang looked at me disbelievingly, "Are you serious?! We only want to help people, that's what we're being trained to do!"

"If it means keeping you all safe, them you'll damn well believe I'm serious." I stared at them for a few more seconds before turning around and walk back into my room calling over my shoulder, "Just drop this and let the experienced huntsmen handle it." I shut the door, hoping beyond hope that they'd listen to me. I sat down on my bed with my head in my hands, trying to force certain memories down into the dark pit they resided in, "I can't lose them again" I whispered to myself. Unknown to me, they continued to make plans in whispered conversation, still set on stopping the Fang, even if they had to behind my back to do it.

And I'm back and finished with chapter 11. I would like to apologize on the wait, but I wasn't able to type anything up from where I spent my Christmas break and I ended scrapping a chunk of what I had written during that time. This forced me to rewrite, revise, and edit what I had written after those parts. But now I'm back on track and will be getting back on a regular schedule.

As for this chapter, I'm sorry it was slightly shorter than normal, but I found that to be a good place to stop. I'll be cutting together both "Painting the Town" episodes, so the next chapter should be a bit longer. I also hope I captured my own little spin on the food fight well enough. Did anyone catch my RedvsBlue reference? If not, I'll tell you everyone's favorite blue and resident idiot said it in Season 7. Well, that's all I have to say.

Hope you liked the chapter and feel free to leave a review with any questions, comments, or if you just want to make yourself known. So farewell for the time being and I'll begin writing again soon…

Archangel out….
