A Family Company
Weiss was pacing the room and Fire was watching from the bleachers. He was waiting for his turn to use the training simulator, but Weiss wouldn't let him and claimed that she was using it. Weiss needed it to demonstrate her skills to her father. He was going to come to see if she was capable of protecting herself. If she was he would hand over the company to her when he retired. If she couldn't then he would seek out someone who could. Just as Fire was going to ask if he could use the training room for the umpteenth time a man walked into the room. He had two people standing on both sides of him and he was wearing a white business suit. His hair was slicked back and was black, but slowly become whiter as it came closer to his ears. He also had a metallic rectangle above his right eyebrow. Fire could take a wild guess on who he was. The man sat down next to Fire, tapping his foot impatiently. Weiss started pressing buttons on the control panel and got into her fighting stance. Eight Ursa and a Nevermore materialized around her. Fire's eyes narrowed, he knew that Weiss was capable of defending herself but this was suicide. He was the only person in all of Beacon who could fight a Nevermore and not get any major injuries, but adding Ursa on top of it was insane. Weiss tapped the ground with her rapier and ice spikes started heading straight for the Ursa. She managed to impale three of them, but one managed to get too close. He hit Weiss and sent her flying across the room. She got up and created a glyph behind her. She launched herself toward the Ursa that had hit her and impaled it with her rapier. The remaining Ursa surrounded her. They started circling her as she made another glyph at her feet. They lunged at her, but she launched herself up into the air. She was about to start shooting out fireballs at the Ursa until the Nevermore hit her out of the air. It began shooting out it's feathers at her. She managed to dodge all of them, but rolled backwards into an Ursa. It raised it's paw to finish her off, but it suddenly stopped in mid swing. Weiss looked up and saw Fire holding the Ursa's arm in place. He looked over his shoulder at Weiss. "You okay?" He asked and Weiss nodded. Fire tore off the Ursa's arm and kicked it's head clean off it's shoulders. He turned around as an Ursa lunged at him and he punched it in the stomach and his hand came out the Ursa's back. He turned and used the Ursa as a shield as the other two started slashing at it's body. He shot fire out of his hand and finished off the other two. He got his hand out of the Ursa and looked towards the Nevermore. He started to run towards it as he started forming a sword out of fire. By the time he jumped at the Nevermore the sword was bigger than the Nevermore was and he swung it down, severing the Nevermore down the middle. He looked towards Weiss. "Can I use the simulator now?"
"Yes." Weiss replied as she walked over to the bleachers, looking down in defeat. She sat next to the man in the suit. "Dad, I'm sorry I just..." Her dad raised a finger, signaling for Weiss to be quiet. He watched as Fire easily destroyed an army of Grimm without getting hit once. He ripped a Deathstalker's stinger off and threw it at an Ursa, impaling it. He continued going on his rampage until he got surrounded. He started releasing all the fire from his body and turned the remaining Grimm to ashes. Fire stretched and yawned as he walked out of the training room. Weiss' father walked over to him before he could leave. He placed a hand on his shoulder and asked, "If he could talk to him in private." Fire nodded his head and stepped into a limo with Mr. Shnee. Fire was nervous. He had never been in a car, let alone a limo. He sat on the opposite side of the car, facing Mr. Shnee. "So, I have a proposition for you Mr. ...?"
"Firestarter." Fire replied.
"Okay then Mr. Firestarter. I would like to ask you to take over my company for me." Fire nearly spit out the Cherry Cola that he got out of the mini fridge in the limo.
Fire gulped and started coughing. "Excuse me?" Fire was shocked by his "proposition".
Mr. Shnee sighed. "Let me explain. Being the important individual I am I'm a very popular target. I can't protect my family and myself forever, so I would like you to pretend you own my company. You're capable of defending yourself and I'll still be calling the shots, but through you. That way no one gets hurt and I get to keep my company and my family." Mr. Shnee took a sip of his champagne. "Deal?" Fire thought for a minute and Mr. Shnee sighed. "You'll have enough linen to buy anything you want including all the Cherry Cola in the world." He stated plainly.
"DEAL!" Fire agreed and they shook on it. After signing a few contracts he returned to his dorm with a hot girl under each arm,two suitcases filled with linen (the rest was stored in a vault at the Shnee Co. building), and a pair of sunglasses he was wearing. "Um Fire." Blake started. "What's with the girls and suitcases?"
"Yeah, what is with the girls, Fire!?" Ruby asked glaring at Fire with her hands on her hips.
"Oh, I own Shnee Co. now, here have some linen." Fire said plainly as he tossed a suitcase on the floor which popped open with linen with more zeros on it than anyone's ever seen. Weiss and Ruby were shaking with anger. Weiss because he got a company that her family owned and she worked her whole life to get when Fire got it in five minutes and Ruby because of all the girls that were slowly surrounding Fire (one of the girls being Yang, who wanted linen). "Well, I got important things to do, so I'll be back later." Fire said grinning as a hoard of girls started swarming him, covering his face with kiss marks left by their lipstick. Fire had been gone all day attending fancy parties, making speeches, introducing new products and robots from Shnee Co., and enjoying the benefits of being rich and famous. Fire came back to the dorm at midnight and collapsed in his bed (that's right, he bought an actual bed with all his money). His suit was a mess and he was covered in kiss marks left by lipstick. "Ahhhh, I love being rich and famous." Fire sighed and was about to fall asleep until Ruby walked in and saw all the kiss marks on Fire. She unfolded Crescent Rose and sliced his new bed in half, just barely missing him. "Hey! What the f***!? I paid good linen for this... wait I can just buy another one. Wow, being rich is awesome!" Ruby tried to cut Fire in half again, but Fire simply grabbed Crescent Rose in mid swing. "Seriously. Will you cut it out all ready!" Fire snickered at his pun, but looked back at Ruby.
"Did you have fun with all your b******!?" Ruby yelled at Fire. Fire was surprised he had never heard Ruby swear before. He was also confused. Why did she care, he knew for sure that they were just friends. Maybe they did have their... moments, but how could Ruby think of him like that? He was probably the last person on the planet that anybody would go out with, let alone Ruby.
"Wait... are you jealous?" Fire asked with a puzzled look. Ruby froze in place.
"N-No! How could you even... I just... I mean..." Fire grinned. He had been in this position many times and knew exactly how it felt.
Fire sighed. "Fine, I won't use my money to attract women anymore if you promise not to cut me in two."
Ruby thought about this for a second. "She's actually thinking about cutting me in half." Fire thought as Ruby was still thinking. "Okay, but if you EVER do that again I will kill you." Ruby threatened, but honestly Fire could care less, he knew she would never kill him. Just as she folded her scythe back up, Yang walked into the room and saw Ruby standing above Fire, Fire's clothes were messed up, he was covered in kiss marks, and he was on a broken bed. Yang's eyes turned red and she ran at Fire. "YOU SON OF A!" Fire got up and grinned. This was the perfect opportunity to show off what his training has accomplished. She tried to punch him but Fire caught he fist. This surprised Yang, but she continued her onslaught. She tried to punch him with the other arm, but Fire caught that one too. He slowly started twisting her arms and Yang fell to her knees. Fire kept her down until she calmed down. Yang couldn't believe it. Fire was strong, but no one could ever match her strength let alone be stronger than her. To tell the truth, this kind of turned Yang on. Fire let go of her and was still grinning. "You good or do I need to actually fight you?" Yang shook her head, but was really confused. Fire explained the whole "bed thing" to Yang. She walked out of the room, still not believing what had just happened.
Fire decided to go to bed (he decided to keep the bed the way it was so it wouldn't take up so much space). Meanwhile Weiss was walking around, fuming with anger. "How can Fire get my family's company in five minutes when I couldn't get it in my whole life?! He doesn't deserve it! He hasn't worked hard for anything or ever for that matter! He can't run a company! I hate him! I HOPE HE DIES!" Weiss gasped at that last thought. Sure Fire was annoying, weird, and down right insane but she didn't want him dead... did she? Weiss decided to head back to her dorm. When she got their he was sleeping in a new bed and dozen of suitcases of money and boxes of Cherry Cola surrounded him. How could her dad pick him over her? Her own father. He barely even knew Fire! HOW DARE HE! Weiss was getting angry, but she forced herself to sleep. All night long she had nightmares of how Fire destroyed her family's company and how her dad liked him more than her. She woke up in the middle of the night. She glanced at her alarm clock and it was only 3:00 am. Then she looked over at Fire. Then she saw her rapier next to her bed. "It would be so easy." She thought. She slowly reached down for her weapon and tip toed over to Fire. "So... easy. No one would even care." She slowly raised her weapon, but slowly lowered it. What was she doing? Fire was more or less her friend. She decided to go back to bed. The next morning she pulled Blake off to the side. "Blake, can I tell you something?" Blake nodded. "I... tried to kill Fire last night."
Blake gasped. "Why?" Weiss explained the whole thing. "Listen Weiss, as a former member of the White Fang, it takes every ounce of self control I have to not attack Fire. I have my biggest enemy in front of me at all times plus he's a Faunus that owns the biggest group of racists in the world! It's so unnatural! That's why I look on the bright side."
"Bright side?"
"Well, if a Faunus owns a company that hates Faunus he could ease that hatred and that company has someone who will listen to the Faunus' cries for help. For you, your family won't be in constant danger and Fire will undoubtedly be able to protect your family's company. He'll also have his multiple personalities there to help him make the right choices for the company."
Weiss sighed. "I guess you're right. It does make me feel better to know that Arthur will be there to help Fire make the right choice." Weiss blushed slightly at the thought of Arthur.
"And Dan will be there." Blake added. She blushed at the thought of Dan. They stared at each other and silently agreed not to tell anyone about their crushes on Fire's multiple personalities. They walked back to their table at the cafeteria and watched as everyone was gathering around Fire, chanting "Chug!" as he drank the most Cherry Cola anyone's ever seen. "I guess I can live with Fire owning the company... for now."
Wow, talk about getting rich quick. I was going to release this chapter a while ago, but I had to go back and change some things when I saw what Weiss' dad actually looked like in the new RWBY season 2 trailer yesterday. ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! Camp Fire out (why do I always end my messages with that?).
