New chapter, new looks, new tricks, and new drama. This takes place, as I said before, during 'Best Day Ever' and wait... FUCK, I forgot the freighter joke *scrolls down* I cant put it in this chapter. Next chapter, hopefully. Anyway enjoy the chapter, it does have mostly joking material until the end.
Enjoy
"So, what are you doing?" Lapis asked Blaise as he entered the room to see Blaise climbing on the ceiling using his claws.
"Ssssshhhhh," Blaise said nearly losing his grip on the ceiling. "Hiding."
"From what?"
"I SEE YOU!" a voice from outside shouted as an arrow flew through the window and impaled itself right next to Blaise's head.
"HA! YOU MISSED!" Blaise shouted back then five more arrows flew into the room all landing right next to Blaise's body. Just before Blaise could let go wires shot out from each of the arrows connecting them and immobilizing Blaise.
Moments later Zaria burst into the room with Eva riding on her back crossbow at the ready.
"Got you!" Eva exclaimed happily as she jumped off of Zaria's back.
"Congratulations. Now can you let me go now?" Blaise asked trying to get out of the net.
"No," Eva said pressing a button on her crossbow and the arrowheads detached from the shaft making Blaise go into a free fall. He was about to take the opportunity to escape but then Eva pressed another button. From each of the arrow shafts a small powerful electro magnet turned on attracting each of the other ones binding Blaise in the net as he fell onto the floor. "Now do it!" she demanded pulling Blaise making him sit up.
"No!" Blaise shouted struggling against the net.
"What is going on?" Lapis asked pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Blaise, shave it!" Eva shouted giving Lapis his answer.
Over the last week of break Blaise had decided to stop shaving causing him to grow a decent beard and when it got too long he would trim it to be short making him look slightly older. But the only reason it bothered Eva and Zaria was that his beard was grey except where his goatee was which was a transition to black and it made Blaise give off a scary wolfish vibe.
In truth they all decided to change their casual styles. Lapis normally wore a white t-shirt with an open thin blue athletic jacket, black jeans, and black and blue shoes. Zaria had a haircut making her hair slightly longer than Ruby's, now she normally wore skinny jeans and converse shoes, with a red tank top and a black athletic jacket. On top of that she wore a red and black striped scarf. When the team went into town to get Blaise a new pair of glasses they found out that Zaria needed them also, so Blaise got thin rectangle reading glasses with transition lenses and Zaria got a pair of wide reading glasses also with transition lenses because a sale was going on. Eva now wore a white t-shirt, a green athletic jacket, because they decided to go shopping with Lapis one day, a pair of regular jeans and green sneakers. Blaise wore along with his new glasses and beard, his typical grey aviator trench coat with hood and with the help of Yang they replaced the large version of his symbol with a smaller version that's more concealable under his hood, he stopped wearing the light jacket and replaced it with a black dress shirt, then under that he wore his grey overshirt, above that shirt he wore a small metal version of his symbol on a ball chain necklace from where nobody knows, and the most peculiar thing about Blaise's new style was the natural grey highlights forming at this tips of his hair..
"Eva, come on. He is allowed to grow out a beard if he wants," Lapis said walking over to the back of Blaise, and with the assistance of his semblance, he pried apart the electro magnets freeing the wolf faunus.
"Lapis, you are a true friend. I apologize for all the times I've called you an asshole," Blaise said placing one hand on Lapis' shoulder.
"No you don't."
"Obviously." Blaise smiled then jumped out the window grabbing one side of the sill making his path curve right into the RWBY dorm room.
"So are they doing something again?" Eva asked balling up the net and throwing it into the trash.
"I think it's nice," Lapis said sitting down. "The guy has gone through a lot only to meet with tragedy at each turn. So for him to find something that legitimately makes him happy is nice."
"You PERVERT!" they heard Weiss shout through the wall then a loud bash, a thump from outside, then a door slamming.
"Are you alright?" Lapis asked sticking his head outside the door to his team leader who was slumped upside down on the floor leaning on the wall.
"I have seen the promised land," Blaise said as he fell forward forcing his head into the wall.
"Tell me about it," Lapis demanded kneeling next to Blaise.
"So should we go down for lunch?" Eva asked Zaria while surveying the scene. Turning around she saw a quick flash of red hair as it jumped out of the window. "Ok." She then grabbed her book Blake loaned her and followed suit.
"You know," Eva said while eating her apple slices, "this year has been kind of hectic so far for our team."
"How?" Zaria asked grabbing a banana off of her tray then peeling it.
"Well, first we all met battling a charging Death Bringer, then we went on a mission to Xais Cay, then Blaise revealed he was a faunus, and then we had to fight more mutated grimm. Then Blaise went off to find his home and went berserk," Eva explained and Zaria nodded in mid bite of the banana.
"I wonder what this semester has waiting for us," Zaria wondered. Then a pie flew from the JNPR table to the RWBY table. "Number 1."
"Sun! Over here!" Lapis shouted getting the monkey faunus' attention and his blue haired friend's.
"Hey Lapis," Sun greeted as he walked over. Then he gestured to the other bluenette. "See, I told you I knew another guy with blue hair."
"Hey," the guy said then extended a hand to Lapis and Blaise who politely shook it, "Neptune Vasilias."
"Lapis Leathart," Lapis said as he shook his hand, then he gestured towards Blaise, "and this is my leader Blaise Campione."
"Hi." Blaise did a little two fingered salute. Sun looked at him quick and swore he met Blaise somewhere before but dismissed the thought.
"So are you guys heading to the cafeteria too?" Neptune asked.
"Yeah, we might as well go get some food," Blaise said as he and Neptune started to walk towards the cafeteria.
"See, faunus leader," Lapis told Sun as they joined Blaise and Neptune in the walk for food.
"What?" Blaise asked right after he opened the door and saw the destruction happening in the cafeteria.
"Blaise, Lapis! Do something!" Eva shouted hiding under a table with Zaria.
Lapis was about to head into the mess happening until Blaise grabbed him by the arm. "No, no, just wait. Let's see how this goes down.
Nora had already attached a watermelon to a pole and beaten Weiss. Then Yang attached the turkeys to her fists and beaten Ren. Then the two powerhouses attempted to fight each other until Nora uppercutted Yang breaking the watermelon and sending Yang through the roof.
"Still think we should wait?" Lapis asked.
"Oh yeah," Blaise said catching a flying bag of popcorn then proceeded to eat said popcorn. "Now it's getting good."
"Your girlfriend got sent through the roof."
"Wait, Xiao Long is your girlfriend?" Sun asked.
"Yeah," Blaise replied.
"The one with the big badonkadonks?"
"Yes," Blaise replied getting slightly agitated.
"Now what's going on?" Lapis asked looking back at the scene.
Pyrrha had now used her polarity to send the pop cans flying at Blake. Ruby then got into a running stance and started to use her semblance and run causing a small cyclone behind her bringing the loose debris along with her. Zaria and Eva were now screaming as they were holding the table down for dear life. Ruby then pulled team JNPR into the cyclone and into the wall. Then the debris hit team JNPR making Ruby win the war.
Glynda burst in through the doors, and with the assistance of her magic, fixed the room.
"Children please, do not play with your food," Glynda said as she adjusted her glasses.
Then the roof started to rumble and Blaise shot into action. Quickly running past his teammate he jumped onto one table then jumping again he managed to get halfway to the roof as Yang burst in landing in his arms.
"What am I going to do with you?" Blaise asked giving her a smile as he landed.
"Oh sure, when he does it, it actually works," Jaune said wiping some of the soda off of his jacket.
Glynda was about to yell until Ozpin walked over and told her something the group didn't hear because they were too busy laughing at Jaune.
"Why didn't you do anything?" Eva asked looking she was about to kill Blaise.
"I did something," Blaise defended himself. "I caught Yang."
"Whatever," Eva said then moved over to Lapis. "And why didn't you do something?"
"Blaise held me back," Lapis explained causing Eva to turn around.
"Blaise," Eva said with malice in her voice.
"Sorry, Yang and I are doing something, gotta go," Blaise said quickly grabbing Yang's hand then ran out of the cafeteria.
"Alright so we've searched everywhere and we couldn't find Blaise," Lapis said to his teammates as they were riding the elevator in full combat gear. "So why are we going down to the practice room?"
"I heard that Ironwood was bringing new soldiers to Vale and was giving the earlier model to Beacon for training purposes," Eva explained as the elevators opened. "This way we can get some practice fighting human type opponents for the tournament."
"Not to mention Blaise can get some practice in with his aura cancelling blades without killing anyone," Lapis said.
"That too," she replied not really acknowledging that fact.
"What, why are you mad?" Lapis asked.
"Over the past semester Blaise has done more combat than us and risen to a higher level nearing the Ruby or Pyrrha range. You remember what he did, he sent you flying like a ragdoll with one punch, ONE punch."
"So what are you thinking?"
"Training our asses enough to be able to beat him or at least come close, because right now Blaise could probably beat us without a second thought."
"I really don't think Blaise would kill us," Lapis said defending his partner.
"He has killed people Lapis, lots of people," Eva said turning around, "He admitted it. And not the kind of 'he killed before he had amnesia.' He has killed lots of people during last semester. Maybe he killed before coming into Beacon and when he does now it's just him becoming more like his old self. I know I don't show it that much but I'm scared of him."
"Zaria, what do you think about all of this?" Lapis asked but got no response. "Zaria?" He then tapped her shoulder and she turned around then removed an earbud.
"What?" she asked slightly confused.
"It's nothing," Eva said before Lapis could say anything making him glare at her. "Anyway, we should go to the training room."
Boom, done, chapter finished. I changed their looks mainly because it is a new chapter and I felt like it was time for a change.
I did this whole chapter during my high school's robotics meeting because I'm on the programming team and I wasn't needed since the program is being done by the programming captain. Even right now he is finishing the program for the controller we're using for the competition, it's Xbox 360. So I had nothing else to do except type this up.
And in these next few chapters I won't focus as much on Blaise as I have. That being said, we will be doing some missions centered around the others. Not to mention if I were to be doing chapters centered on Blaise it would be mostly Burning Wolf fluff.
Now I NEED your thoughts: First, Blaise's semblance, i need ideas. Second, should I make trailers for each of the team members, you know just something to do for fun and I can give some backstory for each character.
I know roughly 35-60 people read these chapters so if some of you could give your opinions in the reviews on these matters that would help me out a lot, seriously, a LOT.
See you in the next chapter,
