"It was an accident I swear!" Aodh quickly tried to defend himself.
"You... DOLT!" Winter quickly slapped Aodh's face hard leaving a red imprint on his left cheek. The force of Winter's slap also caused Aodh to land on his backside.
"I'm sorry Winter I really didn't mean to grab your..." Aodh tried to continue but he couldn't help but remember how soft his hand had felt. "Let me make it up to you please."
"If you wanted to grab them you should've asked." Winter softly spoke to herself. Unfortunately Aodh wasn't able to hear what she said.
"What?"
"I said you can take me out for dinner!" an angry Winter snapped back at Aodh causing him to jump in fear.
"Yeah sure... How does Saturday sound to you?"
Winter quickly stood up and started to walk away. She turned around once more to face Aodh as he was still sitting on the ground. "Then it's a date."
Volume 2: Chapter 3: Nice way to end a date.
It was a bright and sunny Saturday in Vale. At the start of the second semester the first year students were given an extra lesson from Professor Port in the morning while Aodh meanwhile got his Saturdays back again as the second year students were all given there first solo mission.
'I suppose arriving with a t-shirt and rolled up shirt isn't gonna cut it with a Schnee huh?' Aodh thought to himself as he looked at his casual attire. 'But a date... Maybe I can enjoy myself. I mean what if Amber never wakes up.' Now Aodh's inner thoughts were making him depressed.
Aodh tried his best to brush away those thoughts as he left his apartment. In order to help ease his minds he though it would help to smoke and walk around Vale to help clear his mind. However as he was walking through the streets in Vale he noticed a hologram form of General Ironwood. The image of the General was surrounded by six AK-130 Androids and two large pods.
"The AK-130 has been a standard security model of Remnant for several years, and they have done a fine job. Wouldn't you agree?" The crowd applauded the old Android models as they bowed to the crowd. "But... the kingdom of Atlas is a kingdom of innovation, and 'fine'... Well, that's just not good enough, is it?" The crowd looked confused with the General's question. Suddenly the two pods beside the General opened.
"Presenting... the Atlesian Knight-200! Smarter, sleeker, and admittedly, a little less scary. These models will soon become active later this year, but they won't be alone!" The newer models now started to pose for the crowd by flexing there non existing muscles. "Now, the Atlesian Military has always supported the idea of removing our brave men and women from the dangers of the battlefield. However, there are still many situations that will undoubtedly require... a human touch."
The image of the general faded away and was replace by a huge machine. "So, our kingdom's greatest minds, in cooperation with the Schnee Dust Company, are proud to introduce... the Atlesian Paladin!" Aodh along with the crowd were amazed by the new mechanical product Atlas produced as it was showed off in a holographic form.
"Amazing isn't it?" Winter voice spoke out to Aodh.
"Oh hey Winter. I'm guessing you're here with the new AK models?"
"Well unfortunately the General couldn't be here to see the presentation in person so he sent me to look after them in his stead."
Aodh looked at the new models for a few moments. "What's wrong?" Winter asked Aodh snapping him back to reality.
"Well it's just what's the point of them. I never really got the whole idea behind these Androids." Aodh honestly answered Winter.
"They're meant to keep the future huntsmen and huntresses out of danger." Winter explained.
"I understand that part and i do agree with it to a point but... A robot cannot replace a human's thought process nor could it re-create a human's creativity. I just feel that instead of helping to protect us. It's stopping us from growing and bettering ourselves."
Winter was silent for a few moments. She understood what Aodh was saying and to an extent agreed with his reasoning. But years of training and working with the ideals of the Atlesian Army was not something she could look past as easily. "But this is what the Paladin is for. To bring that human touch. Although we've had to increase our security around them. They were going to be on display here today but unforturantly the shipment transporting them here was lost."
"You don't think they could've been Stolen?" Aodh asked Winter. However she was not able to provide an answer.
"Winter this is serious! If those things got into the wrong hands."
"Don't worry about the missing Paladins. If they have been stolen we already took counter measures in case of such an event. If that were to be true once they have been activated a beacon activates with in the Paladins. With the active beacon we'll have there location tracked with thirty seconds."
Aodh smiled back at Winter. Suddenly Aodh was pushed to the side. "Hey!" Aodh shouted out in anger over an orange hair girl running past him.
"Sorry Aodh I'll talk later! Hey Penny wait up!" Ruby shouted to Aodh as she ran after the orange haired girl.
"Ruby?"
"She seems to be in quite a rush. I wonder what your cousin is up to?"
"Knowing her it could be anything. But on a more serious note if you already have step in place for finding the Paladins I suppose i'll let it be for now. Now then... Since you seem to be free at the moment how about we get this." Aodh coughed in his hand to clear his throat. "Date started and out of the way then."
"You really have such a way with words don't you... Such a gentleman." Winter sarcastically commented with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey, I'm trying my best here." Aodh chuckled in defense.
(Later in the evening with Sun and Blake)
Things were not going to plan for Sun and Blake. There plan was simple in getting to a White Fang rally and get information but now they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"What are we going to do?" Sun whispered to Blake as they were both pushed forward by the moving crowd.
"I'm thinking..." Blake whispered back.
Sun looked up on the stage. He seen Roman light a new cigar. However Roman's eye line brought his attention towards two faunus in particular. "He sees us..." In his nervous state Sun waved back at Roman. Roman motions for several members of the White Fang to grab both Blake and Sun. "How are we gonna get out of here?"
Blake noticed a power box on the wall. "He can't see in the dark." Blake quickly unsheathed Gambol Shroud and fired at the box. This caused the lights to black out leaving the entire inside of the building dark.
"Don't let them get away!" Roman shouted.
"Sun! The window!"
"Stop them!"
With Blake and sun escaping through a window Roman quickly got into a Paladin and crashed through the wall to continue chasing after them. Neo followed after Roman in a second Paladin.
"So you wouldn't happen to have... oh, I don't know... some form of backup?" Sun asked nervously as he noticed the two mechanized armor suits chasing after them.
"On it!" Blake grabbed her Scroll and puts it to her ear as she continues to jump away from the on coming Paladin.
(Driu and Winter)
"So you're telling me that you threatened to throw a student off a cliff on your first day?" Winter asked with a shocked tone as they both left a seafood restaurant near the city of Vale's Harbor.
"Yeah... The kid wet himself. He thought I was serious." Aodh laughed as he finished telling his story. Winter tried to remain silent but it only lasted for a few moments before she too bursted into laughter.
"Oh my goodness. I'd say that would've been a sight to have seen." Suddenly Winter stopped laughing and looked nervous for a few moments. "You didn't get in trouble for it did you?"
"Well Ozpin pulled me to the side and more or less said if I pulled a stunt like that again to tell him about it before hand. But now if i were to attempt something like that again i'm sure he'll just pull out that video. So I think it might be fair to say i won't be going as overboard next time."
"Video?" Winter asked with an interested tone in her voice as she leaned in towards Aodh hoping he would spill out information. "Do tell."
Aodh's face started to blush heavily as he remembered the lazer pointer with Yang. "I'd rather not bring it up right now... Sorry."
"What it couldn't be as embarrassing as purring now could it?" Winter asked but only noticed Aodh's face becoming more redder by the second. "Oh my Oum it's worse." Winter stated in a gobsmacked tone but internally she squealed with excitement. 'I must know!' She thought to herself.
Aodh could feel Winter's Want to scrutinize the video "Stop staring a hole into my head."
"Show me the video."
"Not gonna happen."
Winter then grabed Aodh by his colloar and coldly stared at him. "Show me the video."
"Yeah.. Okay, sure." Aodh then handed Winter his scroll and hit the play button.
Silently Aodh watched for Winter's reaction but here face gave no reaction. This started to freak Aodh out a little. 'She should've reacted to it by now... COME ON! SAY SOMETHING!' Aodh shouted internally in his mind.
'I have to try this. He'll never live it down.' Winter thought to herself as she watched Aodh's video.
But before she could work out a plan to do so Winter's scroll began to vibrate. "It appears both of the Paladins have been activated."
"HEEEELLLLP!" Sun screamed from the top of his lungs as he and Blake ran away from the two Paladins chasing after them.
Soon after wards Yang was chasing after them on her motorbike with Neptune.
"Well... It seems it was easy to find."
"If Yang is involved so is Ruby. Why are those two getting into shit like this? Let's go!"
And Cut!
Sorry about the delay in getting this chapter posted out. been busy the last few days but hoping to have a few new chapters updated and posted soon for you all. But with out any further delays let's get this chapter's Q&A out of the way so let's go!
1) Which Power Rangers villain (If you have seen power rangers if not don't answer this question) do you think could work in the as an actual serious villain along with Salem? first off how dare you insult me sir or madam! I grew up in the 90's so IT'S MORPHING TIME! Of course I remember the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
But to answer your question I think it would be best to put Salem as possibly Rita Repulsa so that would make Lord Zedd the choice for me.
2) Do you think Rooster Teeth should have kept Cinder as the main villain? I could see the idea behind it. A lot of major anime series do introduce a villain early on only to have a bigger more badder villain waiting in the shadows. One Piece has done it (Caesar Clown to Doflamingo to Kaido/Big Mom), Naruto has done it (Obito to Madara to Kaguya), Dragonball Z has done it multple times even with the same character. I mean how many forms did Frieza, Cell and Buu have again? So I do understand and I think Volume 4 will have Cinder as part of the villain story line I can see Salem make herself more known to Team RWBY or RJNR at the end of the Volume as well.
3) A chance for Aodh x Winter romance in the story? Yes this is gonna be a Aodh x Winter pairing but it is gonna be a slow burner on the romance part I'm afraid.
4) If you had to choose a voice actor for Aodh who would you choose? I was asked before and Johnny Yong Bosch is a great shout but I did go for either Nolan North or Roger Craig Smith. However a lot of the RWBY cast has got a Japanese Dub voice cast and for this I would go for Masakazu Morita who is the Japanese voice of Ichigo from Bleach.
5) How much does Aodh know about his aunt Raven? And if so what does he think of her? Aodh shares the same feelings for Raven as Qrow does. That would be the simplest way to could explain my answer without giving too much away from a story line i have coming up... Sorry.
6) Have seen the show Constantine and if so how would you make an OC inspired after him work in a RWBY story that follows the shows cannon? I haven't watched the show to be honest but i do know of John Constantine in the DC universe. But as for creating an OC character based off Constantine I'm honestly struggling to find something. The reason being if you look at Constantine he is a ridiculously over powered. I mean when i comes to mind games he's the most cunning and he can't stay dead for long as he is one of the few who knows all of the paths to heaven, hell and the afterlife. It even in a graphic novel where he dies but walks back to life as he knows a route out of the afterlife.
One thing i would know for certain. if Constantine is in RWBY... there would be no Grimm.
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!
