What's up, everybody! I'm back with the next chapter in this RWBY fanfic. In this chapter, teams are assigned, and the characters have more interaction with each other. Some good, some bad. As usual, I do not own RWBY. That belongs to Rooster Teeth. With that out of the way, let's get started!
The students stood on the stage, waiting to see who the leaders of each team would be. Ozpin stepped up onto the stage as four faces came up on the screen. "Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark." He said as the pictures rearranged themselves with Cardin on the farthest left. "The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces." As Ozpin spoke, the four of them stood straight with their arms behind their backs. "From this day forward, you will work together as…Team CRDL(Cardinal)! Led by…Cardin Winchester!" The other students in attendance clapped once Ozpin finished. As Team CRDL walked off, another group came up on stage. "Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Phyrra Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces." As with the team before them, the four on stage stood with their hands behind their backs. "From this day forward, you will work together as…Team JNPR(Juniper)! The crowd clapped, as Nora hugged Ren. "Lead by…Jaune Arc." Upon hearing he was going to lead Team JNPR, he was shocked. "Huh? L-Lead by…" Ozpin nodded. "Congratulations young man." In celebration, Phyrra punched Jaune lightly on the shoulder, which was enough to send the blond to the ground. "Woah! Oof!" Jaune just looked up at Phyrra, who seemed to have her face frozen in a smile as the crowd began laughing. Ozpin continued, which silenced the crowd as four girls stepped on stage. "Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. And Yang Xiaolong." The pictures once again rearranged themselves. "The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as…Team RWBY(Ruby)! Led by…Ruby Rose." The crowd cheered as Weiss looked at Ruby in disbelief. Yang ran over and threw her arms around Ruby. "I'm so proud of you!" As Team RWBY walked off the stage, the last team stepped onto the stage. "And finally, Leonidas Sparda. Kai Draco. Yves Archer. Cory Kenshi." Ozpin said, as the four took their places next to each other, their pictures rearranging themselves. "The four of you retrieved the black king pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as…Team LCKY(Lucky). Led by, Leonidas Sparda!" Leo paled at hearing he was going to lead this team. 'He's really trying to mess with me, isn't he? Well, understand this, old man. I'm not losing these guys. That's a promise.' Ozpin looked out at the students before him. "This is turning out to be an…interesting year."
The students then made their way to the dorms, with Cory and Yves following the others, but Leo remained still. Kai looked at Leo. "Umm, aren't we going to our dorms now?" he asked, before Leo grabbed the other two. "There is no way we're staying in those tiny little dorms." Leo said, dragging them towards Ozpin's tower. "Time for you guys to see the perks of being me." Upon reaching Ozpin's office, the headmaster smiled. "Oh, good. You four are right on time." Ozpin said, standing and walking over to them. "Your dorm room is ready, but on one condition. The elevator is programmed to stop at your room. If anyone is in the elevator with no authorization, kill them immediately." At this, Kai raised an eyebrow, but was stopped by Leo stepping up. "You got it, Oz. Just make sure we always know if someone has authorization." Ozpin simply nodded. "You will receive a message on your scroll to show you who is on the elevator, and what floor they are trying to reach." He said, going back to his desk as the team went into the elevator to reach their room. "Have a good night, Team LCKY."
The silver metal doors gradually slid closed and Leo leaned over and pushed a small, round button with a lightning bolt engraved into it. Leo ran his fingers through his hair, "I hope they already set up the beds, those things are annoying to set up." Yves cocked his head to the side, his headband falling downward. "Why do you know that?" Leo watched the numbers slowly change. "I've broken a few before." All three boys began oohing and poking Leo in the sides. Leo couldn't hide the smile that broke out on his face. "Not like that you perverts." Right then a bell sounded, signaling that they had reached the room, the doors opened and Yves didn't wait before running off to explore. "Mi Casa es su casa!" Leo shouted after him. The room was rather spacious, adorned with a big couch facing a TV, a modest kitchenette, and a large painting of a beautiful mountain. Kai tapped Leo on the shoulder. "What's with the high tech wall art?" pointing to the silver stripes running along the walls. Leo pulled back his jacket sleeve to show Hailfire underneath. "Those conduits are made of the same metal as my weapon. They're meant to contain an episode without bringing the whole tower down around our ears." Kai cocked an eyebrow over his shades. "Episode?" Leo pat him on the back. "Nightmares." Cory whistled and got Leo's attention. "What about the normal wall art?" gesturing to the large painting. Leo ran his fingers through his hair. "Home, let's leave it at that." Cory was about to question it but was interrupted by Yves. "IT'S SO FLOOFY!" The three boys leaned through the door to see Yves rolling around on his bed. Leo chuckled and flopped down on his bed. "I'm a difficult person to get along with so follow these simple rules and we won't have any problems. Number one: If I am asleep and look distressed, don't try to wake me up, get off this floor. Number two: The garage is on the floor above us, you break it, you buy it. Number three: Don't be a slob. I'm sure no one here wants to see your dirty underwear on Ozpin's desk." Leo sat up and looked at his new teammates. "Any questions?" Cory raised his hand. "Yes?" "You're joking about the desk right. Right?" Leo rolled over and pulled the covers over his head. "You wish."
The next morning…..
Leo was up and dressed before the sun even started peeking out of the sky. He was currently waiting for the perfect time to- BANG! Kai, being a Faunus with very good hearing was the first to react, hands going straight to his ears, as he fell out of bed. "Oww! Couldn't you have settled for a whistle or something?!" He shouted, mostly due to the ringing in his ears. Cory was also, startled, but his ears were fine, as he had ear plugs in, so he was woken up by the vibration of the thunderclap. "Jeez, did Yves go skydiving or something?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. Yves, however, was still asleep, and snoring. So, Leo simply walked over, rubbed his hands together, and clapped on either side of the archer's head. "AHHHHH!" Yves screamed, as he clutched his head. "Jeez, Leo, did you have to go that far?" Kai asked, grabbing his uniform, and going to change in the restroom. Cory noticed this, and raised an eyebrow. "Um…why's he changing in there? Is he shy or something?" Leo shook his head. "Nah. But if you want to know, just wait for him to tell you. It does no good to pry into people's lives." He said, grabbing his things. "Anyway, we've got Professor Port first for Grimm Studies." Kai came out dressed, and grabbed his things for class as well. "Sounds fun. I heard he uses actual Grimm in his lessons." Yves grinned. "Awesome! Another chance to prove how great I am!" Everyone else deadpanned before Kai said, "Yeah. Great at missing a bird that's significantly taller and larger than you, and being Grimm fodder." Yves just looked at Kai, and shrugged. "Well, I'm good at something, right?" Leo put a hand on his shoulder. "Yeah. You're great at being you. Just like we're great at being us. Now we just have to find that right balance to make us a great team."
Later, while listening to Professor Port tell the class a LONG story about how he took out a powerful Grimm, Team LCKY noticed Ruby goofing off and Weiss looking really pissed off. She stood, and volunteered to demonstrate her technique as a Huntress for the class. As Weiss took her place, it was apparent that Port planned to test her skills with a real Grimm. It came as no surprise when Port released a Boarbotusk which Weiss proceeded to try and fight on her own, which proved difficult. Eventually, Weiss killed the Grimm and returned to her seat. "Well done, Miss Schnee!" Port said, as he brought out another cage. "Now, who would like to face our newest addition to the class?" As Port asked this, the cage shook, and a fierce growling could be heard. Cory raised his hand. "Sir, is that a-?" "Wonderful! Mr. Kenshi has just volunteered to face the Ursa I have brought in to class!" Port gleefully interrupted Cory, who turned pale. "I, uh…" Cory started, before Kai put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. You've got this, Cory." he said. "If something happens, we'll have your back." Cory took a deep breath, and nodded. "Thanks, Kai." Cory said before going up to the front of the class, and faced the cage, drawing his sword, and preparing to fight the Grimm. Port released the Ursa from its cage, and the bear-like Grimm charged. Cory changed his sword into a gun, and shot at the Ursa's legs to knock it down, and rolled under its arm as is took a swing. As he got to his feet, a whip made of water wrapped around its neck, and Cory pulled on the whip to pull it backwards as he changed his gun back into a sword, and decapitated the Grimm just as the bell rang. "Well done, Mr. Kenshi." Port praised. "Class dismissed!" While Leo, Kai, and Yves walked with Cory, talking about how well he fought the Ursa, Weiss stormed out, leaving Ruby behind. Leo frowned, and walked after her. He caught up to Weiss in the hall, and stood in front of her. "Alright, Ice Queen. Let me tell you something." He said, glaring. "I don't care if Ruby is the most annoying person in the world. She is your TEAMMATE. No matter how much Lien you have, or how long you stand there pouting, you and her are partners. And you had better start appreciating it." Weiss rolled her eyes, and scoffed. "Why should I appreciate a girl who just goofs off in class? What good is she on the battlefield?" she asked, standing inches from him. Leo didn't back down. "Trust me. She's one of the few people in this school that would bother trying to save your ass on the battlefield." He spat, walking away. After meeting up with his teammates, Team LCKY went to bed, and prepared for their next day of class.
A few days later, while listening to Glynda talk about Aura and switching out when needed, Kai raised his hand. "Yes, Mr. Draco?" Glynda acknowledged him as she pushed up her glasses. "Yeah, I was just wondering, your name is Glynda Goodwitch. So, my question is, are you a good witch, or a bad witch?" he asked before ducking as a bolt of telekinetic energy just missed his head. "Okay, then. I guess you're a bad witch." Glynda's calm scowl turned into a glare of anger, and she pointed her riding crop at Kai. "Well, Mr. Draco, why don't you demonstrate your prowess to the class and see if you can defeat me. Or, at least lower my Aura by half." She said, standing at the ready. "Alright. No problem." Kai said, getting ready. The battle soon began as Glynda fired multiple bolts of energy at Kai, and Kai proceeded to move around the arena, avoiding each one. 'This boy.' Glynda thought, as she continued her attack, 'What could he be up to?' Kai continued to duck, jump over, or just lean away from the energy bolts, stopping where he was at the start. "Professor Goodwitch." Kai said, standing still. "What is it, Mr. Draco?" Glynda asked, ready to attack. "I guess it's true what they say…" Suddenly, Glynda looked at the floor, and saw why Kai had just been dodging the while time: he had been setting a trap of Red Dust in the shape of his emblem but it was too late to stop what was happening next. "There's no place like home." he said, as he clicked his heels together, creating a spark with the flint inside his boots, and causing the Red Dust to explode. When the smoke cleared, Kai saw that Glynda had brought up a barrier, and just barely blocked the explosion. "Well played, Mr. Draco. That attack could have very well drained most if not all of my Aura had I been even a second late in my reaction." She complimented. "But in the future, please refrain from provoking your opponents." Kai nodded. "Will do, Professor Goodwitch." He said as the bell rang, and the class left. On the way to the cafeteria, Kai noticed an open table with Team JNPR and Team RWBY. Ruby saw them and waved them over. "Hey, guys! Over here!" she called, almost falling off the bench in the process. This WAS going to be an interesting year.
Okay, so I know some people will question this, but Kai is not a literal Dragon Faunus. In fact, his true Faunus trait has yet to be seen. I will cover this in a series of later chapters that will essentially be Team LCKY's Trailers. But until then, if you have any major questions about Team LCKY that will not involve spoilers, feel free to PM me, Sakuya Makake, Yubel578, or benikage zaraki. Also, if you're a Bleach and RWBY fan, check out Sakuya Makake's fanfic, In The Aftermath of War. It's a great read, and I still have to get caught up! Until next time, R&R!
