Volume 2: Chapter 1: New semester, same old story.
If there was one thing Aodh was starting to hate about being a teacher... It was the amount of paperwork he had to do. He honestly now fully understood why all of his teachers and the current teachers at Beacon Academy were so weird. But with one day left before the new semester of classes Aodh finally managed to finish all of his work before the next semester started.
"I wonder if those two are up to anything today." Aodh thought out loud to himself as he walked towards Team RWBY's room. Once Aodh arrived he knocked on there door but he got no response. He then tried to open the door but found that it was locked.
"They must be away then." Aodh's stomach then gave off a low growl. "Might as well get some food then."
Having just walked into the cafeteria Aodh felt a his body being pulled forward. He looked around and since Ruby in dashing in front of him before he crashed into the far wall of the cafeteria. "What the Hell Ru... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Aodh shouted out as he was plastered with food and soda. But he wasn't the only one as afterwards Aodh as well as Team JNPR slid off the wall leaving only there outlines.
"ALRIGHT! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT!" Aodh shouted out in pure rage and anger. Ruby having now noticed her cousin jumped in Weiss' arms in fear.
"Sorry about that but we got a bit carried away with our food fight." Blake meekly replied.
Looked around Aodh could see the whole cafeteria was more or less upside down. "So you're telling me a food fight caused all of this?.." Aodh lowly growled as Glynda walked into the cafeteria and re-organized and put every table and chair back into place.
"Children... Please do not play with your food." Glynda coldly stated as she adjusted her glasses. "And Mr. Branwen I expected more from you. To find you involved in this is not what you could call acceptable behaviour for a teacher."
"You're saying i'm involved in this!? I just came here to get something to eat." Aodh shouted back at Glynda. She could tell he was just as upset over the food fight as she was. Aodh then turned to face Ruby who was no longer in Weiss' arms. "Ruby what the hell happened here!"
"Well you see." Ruby started to speak but was cut off as Yang came crashing down from the roof causing Ruby to jump in the air. "Yang help me." Ruby begged for her older sister's help as anime tears streamed from her eyes.
Looking around Yang then began to sweat the moment she seen Aodh facial expression as he looked at her. Quickly checking her blazer pocket Yang found her secret weapon. Something that she knew would help in her team's escape. "Weiss! Cover Blake's eyes." Weiss quickly followed Yang's orders without question.
"Let go of me you fiend!" Blake shouted out.
Only then Aodh seen the object that Yang had in her hand. A lazer pointer. "You wouldn't dare..." Aodh coldly stated as he seen a smug look on Yang's face. "Yang Xiao Long.. I swear if you."
But before Aodh could finish Yang pointed a red lazer at the ground. The lazer immediately caught Aodh's attention and he soon began to chase after the glowing red dot. Yang then placed the lazer pointer on the table but at an angle. With the red dot just out of his reach Aodh continue'd to jump up the wall to slap at the red dot. Yang then turned to speak to the rest of Team RWBY and JNPR. "Run for your very lives."
Taking the hint both teams quickly left the cafeteria. "Wait right there!" Glynda shouted out as she began to run after the two teams but found Professor Ozpin's hand on her shoulder stopping her from doing so.
"Let it go."
Glynda then sighed in annoyance. "They are supposed to be the protectors of the world."
"Yes but as of now they're children. Why not let them stay that way for the time being. After all. It's not a role they'll be able to keep for long. Now our friend is about to arrive. And believe he would like to check on the current condition of Mr Branwen's prosthetic." Ozpin stated as he looked at Aodh who was still jumping at the red dot on the cafeteria walls.
"This might sound childish and creul but... I want to take a photo of this and sent this to Qrow." Glynda stated as she had a mischievous grin on her face.
"Already taken care of. Except instead of a photo I captured a video instead." Ozpin stated as he showed Glynda his scroll. "Now I think it would be best to save Mr. Branwen from further embarrassment before the rest of the students arrive back and discover a weakness to his armour."
Glynda walked over towards the lazer pointer and after a few moments of her own personal pleasure of watching Aodh she turned the device off. "I swear I'm gonna kill her." Aodh stated in embarrassment as his cheeks became bright red.
(Ozpin's office)
"I can't believe you sent that to my old man... I'm never gonna here the end of this am I." Aodh moaned as the trio walked into Ozpin's office. Soon Aodh noticed the heavy volume of bullheads and other aircraft carriers outside of the school. "Well that's one hell of an eye sore."
"Well Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels." Glynda stated as she agreed with Aodh's comments over the Bullheads.
"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man." Ozpin tried to defend the amount of aircraft outside of Beacon but soon found three more arriving. "But yes I would have to agree with Mr Branwen and say those are a bit of an eye sore."
"A bit being an understatement." Aodh slyly commented below his breath.
Ozpin then noticed a hollow message on his desk asking for permission to enter. "Come in."
The doors to the elevator opened and General Ironwood walked into the room. "Ozpin!" Ironwood cordially spoke as he greeted Professor Ozpin.
"Hello, General." Ozpin greeted Ironwood.
"Please, drop the formalities." Both headmasters shook hands as Glynda and Aodh approached. "It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met."
"Oh, James!" Glynda sarcastically greeted Ironwood only to quickly drop her act. "I'll be outside."
"Well, she hasn't changed a bit." Ironwood chuckled to himself. "And Aodh. It's nice to see you've made a good recovery. I hope your new leg hasn't brought any issue up yet."
"Well i've had none so far General. And thanks for the leg. I never really got the chance to personally thank you for it."
"Don't worry about it. I was more than happy helping a huntsman like yourself get back on his feet so to speak. Also Miss Schnee is with me as well. She's also interested in your recovery."
"Winter's here." Aodh stated in a shocked tone. "Well I suppose I should say hello then. I suppose you'll both be staying for the festival."
"Of course. I love Vale at this time of the year."
"Then if you'll excuse me Professor Ozpin I'll see you later."
"Indeed." Ozpin nodded towards Aodh as he smiled before turning his attention towards Gerneral Ironwood. "Now James. What brings you to Vale?"
(Winter)
Walking through the halls of Beacon Academy Winter was reliving some memories of her first visit here. It was 8 years ago during the 36th Vytal Festival Tournament some eight years ago.
(Flashback)
"Hi there you must be from the Atlas Academy for the Vytal festival. I'm here to help you find your rooms here in Beacon. My name is Amber Autumn"
"Yes, I'm Winter Schnee leader of Team you taking care of us."
"Okay then let me show you where you'll be staying for the next few months." Amber lead Team WHTE towards the second year students dormitoriesas the students from Atlas would be staying with the second year students during the festival.
"It's nice seeing another female team leader. I feel so out of place in Atlas being the only one."
"I'm sorry to hear that but unfortunatly I'm not my team's leader." Amber apologised to Winter.
"Oh... Is your leader giving a tour to another team at the moment?" Winter curiously asked.
Amber was about to answer but she could hear Team BAAR leader provide her with the answer to Winter's question. "I SWEAR TO OUM ROMAN I WILL KILL YOU! GET BACK HERE!"
Team WHTE and Amber could then see a orange hair teenageer being chased by a shorter and younger looking black haired cat faunus. after a few moments the young faunus caught the older teenager and swiftly apllied a rear naked choke.
"Amber help me!" Roman groaned out as Aodh continue'd to choke him. "If I die I want 'Worth it' written on my grave!"
"Aodh let him go." Amber softly spoke to Aodh. Nervously Aodh did so but then noticed the scowl on the face of the white haired girl beside Amber.
"Ahh... Who are you guys?" Aodh asked Winter and her team.
Winter somehow found it within herself not to shout back at Aodh. "My name is Winter Schnee. The man next to me is Hvid Marbel. The my other female teamate is Teal Royale and our last member is Edgar Andersmith."
"The name's Aodh Branwen. I'm the young and handsome leader of Team BAAR. Nice to meet you Winter." Aodh smiled as he held out his hand to Winter.
Winter however looked confused. The boy in front of her was clearly a faunus and yet he was yet to say something nasty or creul to her. In fact he was smiling and offering her his friendship. "It's nice... To meet you as well." Winter nervously accpeted Aodh's hand.
"Just so you know we're totally gonna be winning the tournament as well." Aodh grinned as he shock Winter's hand.
At was at this moment Winter knew she has meet a good friend as she now stood inside of Beacon's training arena she looked around and tried to imagine what it would be like to teach in this room nearly every day for months at a time. "So this is what he's given up being a huntsman for huh." She thought out loud to herself.
"It's not all that bad Ice Queen." Winter growled in anger as a voice spoke out to her. She turned to find Aodh leaning on the arena's entrance. "Some of these kids have lot of potential."
"I doubt they could match out old teams though." Winter replied with a smirk.
"Well not now but i'd give them until there fourth year here. It's good to see you Winter. How have you been?"
"I've been doing well as you would say. It's been stressful the last few days planning on moving the fleet but it comes with the work."
"Then I suppose your looking to relax then. And there goes my plan of asking for a sparring session out the window." Aodh groaned in an annoyed tone as he rubbed the back of his head. "I suppose you might want to speak to Weiss then."
"Of course I would." Winter smiled as she replied to Aodh.
"Well she might not be happy with me at the moment so if I bring you along she might lighten up a bit."
"Why would she not be happy with you?.. What did you do to my sister Aodh?" Winter angerly demanded an answer from Aodh.
"Nothing, nothing I swear.. It's just..." Aodh quickly flailed his arming around the air to try and defend himself before calming down. "Remember that incident in the hospital in Atlas were my gown accidentally got caught on the door handle..."
For several moments Winter remained silent. Aodh thought she was trying to remember what had happened and was hoping she forgot. But the truth was she didn't. "YOU FLASHED IN FRONT OF MY SISTER!" Winter screamed at Aodh. "What were you thinking!?"
"Calm down will you I can explain everything."
"Oh trust me, you better explain otherwise i'm cutting it off!" Winter then grabbed hold of her sword. This action caused Aodh to gulp and quickly grab his crown jewels.
(Roman)
Five people were standing in an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts of Vale. A female voice spoke out to the group.
"If what you are saying is correct Roman I will slightly change a few things to our plan with Aodh involved. However as scheduled we'll be moving towards Phase 2."
"Tell me Cinder. What is Phase 2?" Roman asked Cinder.
"The short story of it is me, Emerald and Mercury will infiltrate Beacon. You on the other hand will move to these co-ordinates." Cinder then handed Roman a piece of paper. "Anything else you'll know when you need to know."
"I understand then... But be careful around Aodh."
"Will you calm your self over this guy. He's not that tough." Mercury snapped at Roman making fun of him in the process.
"Watch it kid. You can barely handle me. Aodh would kill you if he felt like getting serious or if he tought you'd be a treat to another huan or faunus. I should know since i know him better than anyone else here. And besides if he ever found out that you three are."
"That won't happen." Cinder quickly cut off Roman before he could continue. "Don't think.. Obey."
And Cut!
Okay so a bit of stuff that was going to be used for Volume 0 was added in this chapter. It was a small start to Winter's and Aodh's first meeting with each other.
I'm hoping it worked out but I did create an OC after Ryan from RoosterTeeth. Edgar being his captive cow and Andersmith being the character he voices in Red vs Blue. ALL HAIL THE MAD KING!
So with out delay let's get going with this weeks Q&A!
1) Back in chapter 6 what move did you have Aodh use on Cardin? When it was first posted it was it was a Butterfly DDT. For the Re-mastered version I used a wrestling move called Bloody Sunday or 1916.
2) Will Roman be having a change of heart? I can't really answer this as in cannon it doesn't end that way but Roman will be getting some spotlight soon.
So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time! #FreeEdgar.
