*Adam, Melody and Jenkins are all sitting n the couch in the security room. While Adam and Jenkins have expressions of shock on their faces, Melody is busy looking at a small strip, one normally reserved for Pregnancy test. *
Adam: Holy shit.
Melody: Yeah, no kidding. Do you know what this means Damien?
Jenkins: Yeah, we're going to be-oof!
*Adam looks on as Melody tackles Jenkins to the ground and furiously starts making out with him.*
Adam: Jesus Christ guys. Well, I'm going to be, anywhere but here. And I'll call Tronmaster to let him know the news.
Just before Pyrrha began to read, everyone hears something that sounds like a ringtone.
"Mulatto butts! Mulatto butts! Mulatto butts!" Was repeated over and over from Tronmaster's pocket.
"What the fuck?" Qrow asked, as everyone looked to Tronmaster in shock.
"Son of a bitch, I thought I had that ringtone changed." Tronmaster mumbled, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a purple and gold-colored Scroll.
"Goddammit Archer." Alicia mumbled, as Tronmaster answered his Scroll.
"Hey Adam, what's up?" Tronmaster asked Adam, "Huh? No kidding. Well, considering how often those two go at it, it was bound to happen eventually. Ok, thanks for letting me know. Ok, thanks Adam, Bye." He finished, ending the call.
"What was that all about?" Penny asked.
"Well, Melody, our ship's head engineer, she's pregnant." Tronmaster answered, earning shocked expressions from everyone.
"Goddammit Jenkins." Alicia said, facepalming.
"Well, I foresee a bunch of little Kitsune running around." Raven said jokingly.
"Pyrrha, just start reading." Alicia said flatly, the resident champion complying.
[Unknown Forest]
[No P.O.V.]
"Back into the forest it seems." Glynda said.
"Yep, the question is, who are we following?" Summer said, putting a hand to her chin in a 'thinker' pose.
Qrow was slightly drunk, again.
"When is that a surprise?" Tai said, chuckling.
"He's always drunk." Winter sighed.
He was trying to collect information of the woman who attacked Amber, and after hearing rumors of NEO Galbadian troops in the area, trying to figure out what those bastards were up to as well.
"Ah, makes sense actually." Sun said.
"Yeah, getting as much intel on those guys is pretty important." Neptune said, Raiden chirping in agreement.
"Jeez." Qrow grumbled, "You'd think I'd have found something by now."
Well it turns out, something found Qrow, because he heard the clopping of hooves on the dirt.
"So, I'm guessing Odin?" Ren asked.
"Yep." Alicia replied.
Qrow pulled his weapon off his back in it's sword form, ready to defend himself.
"Not much can compare to Odin's power." Ifrit said.
"Except for Bahamut?" Sun asked.
"Except for him, yeah." Ifrit replied.
However what stepped out of the bushes was not human, nor Faunus, nor Grimm.
"Nope, just good old helm-head." Diablos joked.
"Are you challenging me human?" Odin asked.
"Depends." Qrow said, "You gonna try and kill me?"
Odin chuckled at that, "Do you know who I am?"
"My other may not know WHO he is, but he certainly knows WHAT he is." Qrow said.
"No." Qrow said, "But judging from your abnormal size and your horse I'd have to say you're a Guardian Force."
"It is rather obvious." Calcabrina said, ruffling out her dress.
"Yeah, it kinda is." Penny deadpanned.
"Now that's interesting..." Odin said, most humans of this era seem to not recognize what a Guardian Force could be."
"It probably helps that he knows two people with Guardian Forces." Jaune said.
"Yep." Ruby and Yang said at the same time.
"It helps that my nieces each have a Guardian Force with them." Qrow said.
"Damn right they do." Alexander said, Ifrit nodding in agreement.
"I see..." Odin said, Let me see your strength then, impress me."
"Oh boy, this is gonna be good." Yang said, excited.
"Sorry to ruin your expectations Yang, but you don't actually get to see Qrow and Odin fight." Tronmaster said apologetically.
"Dammit!" Said Yang, Qrow and Tai.
"So you want to fight." Qrow said, "Alright."
With that Qrow lunged toward Odin, as Sleipnir leapt at the Huntsman.
"It sucks that we don't get to see Uncle Qrow fight Odin." Ruby pouted.
"Yeah, but don't worry mom, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the outcome." Alicia said, cheering Ruby up.
[Team RWBY Dorm]
"Guess we're going back to our dorm." Blake said.
"Time for another day in the life of team RWBY." Sun said.
It was a relaxing day for Team RWBY.
As of this moment the four members of the team were waiting for Jaune to bring them their mail, seeing as he offered to do it for them.
"Hey, I do it occasionally for them too." Jaune said.
"Talk about being a good friend." Summer said.
Winter was in her personal room at the time, learning just what she was capable of with Calcabrina junctioned to her.
"We should do that later." Calcabrina said, Winter nodding in agreement.
"Wonder what's taking Vomit boy so long?" Yang mumbled, "I want my Combat King already."
"I get antsy whenever I'm waiting on my latest issue of Game Informer." Tronmaster admitted.
"Hey, everyone has their quirks." Nora said.
"While we wait, Yang can I... ask you for some help?" Weiss asked.
"Wonder what my other wants with Yang." Weiss mused.
"Probably for advice on something." Ruby said.
In almost an instant Yang leaped off her bed, landing next to Weiss, "Sure thing Ice Queen, what do you wanna know? Fist fighting? Seduction tactics? Booze acquiring tips?"
"Yang..." Tai growled.
Yang proceeded to laugh nervously at the stares of her dad, mom and stepmom.
"Yang you promised Dad and Uncle Qrow you wouldn't drink while we're at Beacon!" Ruby cried out.
"Did you?" Summer said, still glaring at Yang.
"Why don't you tell her miss Strawberry Sunrise?" Tronmaster said, smirking.
"Yang Xiao Long, we're going to have a serious discussion after this chapter's done." Tai said, Summer and Raven nodding.
"I was actually hoping you'd explain how to play Triple Triad to me." Weiss said.
"Huh? Oh right, Blue magic." Neptune said.
"What?" Yang asked confused.
"Oh that's right, you were with Mom when we learned this." Ruby said, "Weiss is apparently capable of something called Blue Magic, and the easiest way for Weiss to get the things she needs to learn a Blue Magic Spell is to turn Triple Triad cards into those items."
"Definitely a good way of learning Blue Magic." Alicia said.
"Yes, it seems those items my other found might've been a fluke." Weiss said.
"Still though, it was an awesome way to learn Blue Magic." Ruby said, kissing Weiss.
"Oh..." Yang said, "So Weiss needs to learn how to play the game so she can win herself some good cards."
"That's, quite the oversimplification." Shiva said.
"But true nonetheless." Ren added.
With that Yang grabbed Weiss by the arm and pulled her over to Weiss's cards, picking up the Geezard card, "Take a look at this."
"Time to learn us some rules, it seems." Penny said.
Weiss took the card, with an image of a small grey and purple creature with a long tail, no legs, and two mid length arms with pincer-like fingers on a blue background.
"Ugh, that's one ugly-ass creature." Sun said, disgusted.
"No kidding." Neptune said.
"What am I supposed to be looking at?" Weiss asked.
"The numbers in the corner." Yang said pointing.
Weiss then noticed the numbers, four of them set up like a compass.
A 1 at the top, a 5 on the left, a 1 at the bottom, and a 4 on the right.
"Those numbers have got to mean something." Winter said.
"See those?" Yang asked pulling out another card from Weiss's cards, this one being the Bite Bug.
Weiss took a look at the Bite Bug card, the creature was pretty much a blue beetle with a large, three segmented jaw the size of it's body once again on a ble background.
"Ick." Ruby said, cringing.
"Yeah, nothing compared to some of the shit we've seen though." Alicia said, Tronmaster nodding in agreement.
"We really need to learn about the adventures you guys have went on." Blake said.
"Next break." Tronmaster said.
However the numbers on the card were different.
Top 1, Left 5, Bottom 3, Right 3.
"Okay here's the main rule of the game." Yang said, "First both players pick five cards to be their hand, the game takes place on a three by five game board."
"I have the weird itch to play Yu-Gi-Oh now." Tronmaster mumbled.
Yang then pilled out her game mat and placed the Geezard card in the middle, "Your objective is to 'capture' as many of your opponents cards as you can by placing your cards so that the number of the side touching the side of the card you want to capture is higher."
"Example please?" Weiss asked.
"Sure." Yang said, "Okay, this Geezard's top number is 1, so I place Bite Bug above it so Bite Bugs Bottom of 3 beats Geezards Bottom of 1."
"Already, these rules are confusing me." Winter said, her eyes actually turning into swirls.
"Wow, from zero to two point three seconds flat. A new record." Alicia joked.
Yang placed the Bite Bug above the Geezard card to show, "See? Simple." Yang said, "Now this can get a bit confusing to remember which card you've captured and which one your opponent has, which is why they can do this."
Yang then held the Geezard card in place and swiped her hand over it going left, turning the blue background Pink, then swiped her hand over it again in the other direction turning it blue again.
"Huh, that's rather helpful." Weiss said.
"Yeah, it is." Ruby said, "I probably should read the rulebook."
"See?" Yang said, "Now to win the board must be filed and you have to have the most cards in your color, now it's been a long held tradition of this game to include an ante rule, players usually decided the ante amount when they go over the Additional Rules."
"Additional Rules?" Weiss asked.
"Yep." Yang said, "First there are the Open and Closed Rule, basically whether or not your hand is 'open' to be viewed by your opponent. The Elemental rule add's these element tokens to the board, which give a one plus boost to all cards placed on it with a matching element, but a minus one detriment to any other element. Next is the Plus Rule, which to be honest I have NO idea how it works. Same works like it says, if you place a card next to two cards with both sides of your card valuing the same as the side's it's touching you take both of your opponent's cards. Next is the Same Wall Rule, which is an extension of same with the edges of the mat being counted as 'A' level sides of the card, which is better than a side marked with 9. Combo is one you've got to watch out for, because if you trigger the Plus of Same effect you start a chain, taking cards as if you had just placed the one you just captured, which can completely flip the game."
"Can I have some water please?" Pyrrha asked, Alicia handing her a large glass of water, "Thank you." She added, taking a drink.
"No problem." Alicia said, Pyrrha continuing to read.
"That's a lot of rules..." Weiss said.
"And that must've been a mouthful." Neptune said.
"Don't worry." Yang said, "But go and buy some card packs, because the cards that come with these starter decks absolutely SUCK!"
"I'll... take you're word for it." Weiss said.
"We have a card shop on the ship." Tronmaster said, easing the minds of the readers.
At that moment the door burst open with Jaune breathing heavily, "Girl's..." Jaune panted, "Are any of you subscribed to Timber Maniac's?"
"I am." Blake said.
"That wouldn't surprise me at all." Yang said.
"Right, like the secret collection of erotic Manga I found under your bed back home on Patch that one year." Ruby said, surprising everyone.
"Jesus Christ mom, that was brutal." Alicia said, dumbfounded.
"I don't care." Ruby said.
"Good." Jaune said placing the bag full of Team RWBY's mail, "Because this month just released an issue with the NEO Galbadian leader Musaline as it's main focus."
"Great, she's the cover story." Weiss said rolling her eyes.
"WHAT!?" The team shouted, Ruby dashing over to grab the mail while Jaune went back to his teams dorm.
"I'd be shocked too to find out that our main enemy is the cover story on a popular magazine." Yang said.
"No kidding." Blake said, agreeing with Yang.
"Yang, letter from Dad, and Combat King." Ruby said tossing the two things she just said to Yang, "Weiss you got nothing, sorry."
"Drat." Weiss sighed.
"Dammit." Weiss said.
"It's ok Snow Angel." Ruby said, giving Weiss a peck on the cheek.
"My Weapon's Monthly, and Pet pals, oh and a letter from my friends at Signal!" Ruby said pulling those out, "Ah! Blake's Timber Maniacs."
This caused the group to converge and begin reading the magazine.
"I feel like we're going to re-learn some old info." Tai said.
"We probably are." Neptune said, shrugging.
"Musaline was born in Coral?" Yang asked, "Isn't that the town she ordered to be burned?"
"She said that her parents died when she was young, and that she lived with her abusive uncle." Weiss said, "I know the feeling of relatives that don't hold a high opinion of you."
"I hope that her uncle was killed when she torched the place." Qrow growled.
"Shut up I'm trying to read!" Blake shouted.
"Wow, way to interrupt the mood Blakey." Yang said.
[Summer's Office]
"Hey, we're in my office!" Summer said.
"I wonder why though." Glynda mused.
"Let's see..." Summer said looking at the two magazine's on her desk, Occult Fan and Pet Pals, she had just read Musaline's article in Timber Maniac's and actually felt sorry for her, although her final opinion of Musaline was still out for the moment.
"Sounds like something I'd do." Summer said.
"This one." Summer said grabbing the Occult Fan and reading the first article.
"Time to learn some more info." Sun said.
Mysterious Mist coats Forever Fall Forest
"Mysterious mist?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow.
Every Saturday at exactly noon local villagers report seeing the normal average weathers Forever Fall Forest, local villagers enter and soon become lost until one o'clock,
"I'm gonna say that it's a Guardian Force that's responsible." Nora said.
"It was pretty obvious." Jaune said.
Local's who have entered the Forest often claim to see a large, slender figure gliding through the mist, leaving the dissolving corpses of Grimm in it's wake until the mist lifts.
"Huh, that's interesting." Winter said.
Summer looked up from the magazine and checked the calendar.
"Saturday..." Summer said, then her head snapped to the clock, "It's only nine..." Summer mused.
"Oh boy, I know what Summer's doing." Ifrit said, chuckling.
"Going hunting?" Diablos said.
Summer tossed aside the magazine and grabbed weapon from the pile of fallen Pet Pal's magazine and teleported.
"This should be good." Summer said, chuckling.
[With Qrow]
"Time to see how I did." Qrow said.
"Well, if I remember correctly, in FF8, if you didn't beat Odin within the time limit, he would insta-kill your entire party. I think." Alicia said.
"Yeah, sounds like Odin." Siren said.
Qrow was slightly winded, with his weapon in Scythe form, as he stared down Odin, who didn't seem winded in the slightest.
"Fuck." Qrow said.
"Thirty minutes are up." Odin said.
"Ah shit." Qrow said.
"Guess my luck's just not great." Qrow said.
"Actually Qrow, I've been generating a low-emission luck spell in the entire room." Tronmaster admitted, "Which would explain why the effects of your Semblance aren't working."
"Nice." Qrow said, smirking.
"I'm impressed." Odin said, "Not too many humans could hold up to me as you did, even though I was holding back.
"That's good, right?" Winter asked.
"Very good." Alicia replied.
"So does that mean I'll live?" Qrow asked sarcastically.
"Better to be a smartass, than a dumbass." Tronmaster said.
"More than that." Odin said, "I shall aid you, perhaps in a more direct manner than I had before..."
"No way." Qrow said, once he realized what was happening.
"What does that mean?" Qrow asked.
"Before I refused to be called or Junctioned." Odin began, "I only came to aid when I felt like it, this of course led to my eventual death."
"Shit, tough break.' Qrow said.
"No kidding." Tai said.
"I now know it is my pride that got me killed." Odin said, "As such I will... Junction with you human."
"Well then, it is about time." Said a voice, coming from the elevator.
"Jeez Odin, you're late." Tronmaster said to the now named Odin.
"Odin! Buddy! Good to see ya!" Diablos said, gliding over to give Odin a hug before Odin backhanded him into a wall.
"The name's Qrow Branwen." Qrow said holding out his hand.
"Shall we?" Odin asked, holding his hand out to Qrow, who took it, Odin now being Junctioned with Qrow.
"Odin can explain who he is, after the chapter." Alicia said, everyone except the original Guardian Forces nodding.
Odin smirked for the first time in ages, or at least in the ages he has been alive, and took Qrow's hand.
"Alright Ren, your turn." Pyrrha said, handing Ren the book.
"First, explanations." Odin said, everyone turning to him.
'I hope to God dad's busy babyproofing the security room.' Alicia thought, glaring at the camera.
*Adam is busy babyproofing the security room, while Melody and Jenkins are out of the room.*
Adam: Better to start babyproofing this place early, especially if Jenkins and Melody's kids end up being Kitsune.
*A crash is heard as a monitor falls to the ground, the screen gaining a spider web crack.*
Adam: Well, shit.
