Another quick chapter coming right up for Son of Qrow! Enjoy! 3rd chapter in 3 days I think lol
Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Monty Oum (RIP) along with Rooster Teeth.
"No Ruby." Aodh then brought himself down to Ruby's eye line. "As Huntsmen and Huntresses we have to protect the world. You seen something you thought was odd and went to investigate. You did everything right except one thing. You never called for backup. Other then that Ruby you did nothing wrong. Now get ready for bed and we'll watch a movie to take things off you mind. You'll even get to choose. How's that sound?"
"Oh, Oh, Oh! Can we watch Red vs Blue!?" An excited Ruby asked.
Aodh couldn't hold back a light chuckle. "Of course squirt."
Volume 2: Chapter 8: Mission Report.
Ruby looked nervous as she and Aodh were moving up the elevator to Professor Ozpin's office. Aodh looked down towards Ruby and noticed how nervous she looked. Aodh thought it would be best to try and take her mind off this meeting with Ozpin so he lightly nudged her. "Hey wanna do something fun?" Aodh asked Ruby as he quickly pressed all of the buttons leading up to the top were Ozpin's office was.
"YES!" Ruby shouted with excitement as they continue'd to travel to the top of the tower. Eventually they made it to the Ozpin's office.
When they both entered the room they seen Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch waiting for them along with General Ironwood. "Sorry it took so long. Someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here." Ruby joked with the senor figures in the room for a brief moment. "It wasn't me." Little did Ruby know that behind her Aodh was pointing towards the young huntress' back.
Ozpin tried his best to hold back a smile as he tried to be serious with Ruby. "Thank you for coming Ruby. How are you feeling now after last night's events?"
"Thanks to Aodh a lot better. But, I'd feel better if my bad guy catching record wasn't 0 for 3." Ruby tired to joke with everyone but failed as they silently looked at her. "Okay, so that's the tone we're going for, got it."
"Ruby, I feel it's appropriate to let you know that I think what you did last night is exactly what being a Huntress is all about. You recognized a threat. You took action. And you did the very best you could. And once more sorry for the events afterwards last night." General Ironwood tried his best to reassure Ruby's confidence.
"Thank you, sir. Aodh helped me a lot last night."
"Now, the General here has already informed of the events that... Transpired last night, but now that you've rested, we were wondering if you had anything to add." Professor Ozpin tried his best not to push Ruby to hard for information.
"Was anyone else with her? Did she look familiar to you at all?" Professor Goodwitch softly asked Ruby.
"I... I don't know." Ruby nervously looked at the ground for a moment.
"Anything at all will help Ruby. Try to remember as much as you can." Aodh softly spoke to Ruby.
"She was wearing a mask, and she never said anything to me. But I know she fought with glass. I don't think that was her Semblance though. Her clothing lit up whenever she attacked."
"Save for the glass, that sounds like the woman I fought the night we met Ruby." Glynda stated her guess after hearing the information Ruby provided.
"Embedding Dust into clothing is an age old technique. It could have been anyone. You have the same type of woven clothes Aodh. Any guesses how we can figure out who it is?" The general thought out loud before asking Aodh on his opinion.
"Well woven dust is a specialized craft so it could be easy enough to track that way with the right information like design and colour. But if it's hand woven it could be near impossible to track down the same way."
"Wait. Do you think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?" Ruby asked.
"It is possible. But we still lack the required evidence to link the two together." Ozpin guessed the best he could as he provided an answer to Ruby's question.
"I for one would love to know how Roman and Adam are working together like this. I could never get them to work with each other as they hated the other's guts." Aodh lowly commented his opinion on the alliance between Roman and the White Fang.
"Actually... I think I remember her saying something about a hideout, or something, in the South East. Just outside the Kingdom." Suddenly Ruby provided new information.
"Interesting." Ozpin stated as he slowly showed a smile on his face.
"Ruby?" A confused Aodh started to ask but Glynda took over.
"I thought you said the intruder never..." However Glynda herself was then cut off by Ozpin.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Ruby. Why don't you go and spend some time with your team? You have a big day ahead of you." Ozpin thanked Ruby before allowing her to leave.
"Any time."
"And Miss Rose, please try and be... Discreet about this matter."
"Yes sir." Ruby thanked Professor Ozpin before leaving down the elevator.
"Well there we have it. We send as many troops as we can to the South East. Find out exactly what's going on. And eradicate any forces that stand in our way." General Ironwood stated the moment Ruby left the room.
"Why must your answer to everything involve a triumphant display of military bravado!? You treat every situation like a contest of measuring di...!" Glynda growled in frustration over the Ironwood's suggestion.
"Glynda!" Ozpin loudly groaned to stop Glynda from cursing.
"Well, he does." She then tried to defend her choice of words.
"She is right though. As much as I too would love to end this situation once and for all, we must remember that this may go beyond Beacon. And possibly beyond Vale. And if this truly is part of some master plan for which we know not the final move, we mustn't be so bold. Nor can we risk the spread of panic."
"I have served you faithfully for years... But if you mean to tell me that your plan is to hold the defenses, and wait!" General Ironwood stated to Ozpin in frustration.
"We are not! You're a General, James. So tell me. When you prepare to go to war, which do you send in first? The flag bearers or the scouts?" "Ozpin's simple statement calmed down General Ironwood as the General was able to see the sence behind his plan. However not everyone present agreed with Professor Ozpin's plan.
"I don't like what you suggesting Oz..." Aodh angrily growled at Professor Ozpin. "Cause if I know Ruby and Yang they'll be the ones to do this by going themselves. So I'm not letting them go on this mission."
"What if I was to let you join this mission?" Professor Ozpin suggested.
"What do you mean?"
"Well the only mission report available in the South East is a search and destroy mission. Currently Dr. Oobleck is assigned to this mission I could have you swap out and take over."
"No don't do that..." Aodh thought to himself for a few moment before release a sigh and continuing. "If we're about to jump into a Beowolf's Den then I'd prefer to have another experienced Huntsman along with myself and Team RWBY."
"Then it's agreed. Now I think we have to prepare our students for there first mission assignments."
(A few minutes alter in the arena)
"Quiet! Quiet please. Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin." Glunda ordered through the loud speakers calming the students inside to a bring silence to the room. Professor Ozpin then moved forward.
"Today we stand together united... Mistral... Atlas... Vacuo... and Vale... The four Kingdoms of Remnant... On this day, nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom, but about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self expression. And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for.
As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself. Colour. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither were the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it.
As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best." The crowd of first year students applauded after Professor Ozpin's speech.
Team RWBY were now getting more excited. "This is perfect! All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the South East!" Ruby squealed with excitement.
"Yeah! We'll follow them around by day and give them the slip by night!"
"Let's check Search and Destroy!" Weiss suggested to the rest of her team before they moved towards one of the screen in the amphitheater.
"Here we go! Quadrant 5 needs Grimm cleared out!" Ruby pointed out the first mission she seen.
"Well, it's in the South East!" Blake informed the team of the mission's location.
"Sounds perfect!"
"Wonderful!"
The rest of Team RWBY agreed as Ruby typed in her team's name to register for the mission in question. However after entering RWBY an error message showed on the screen saying the mission was off limits to first year students. They all sighed in frustration.
"Any other ideas?" Blake asked in nothing but hope.
"We mail ourselves there!" As elaborate as Ruby's plan worked for a brief moment Yang seemed to be the only one who considered it as an actual plan.
"Well, that's one option." A voice spoke out to Team RWBY. They looked around to find out who was speaking only for Professor Ozpin to appear behind the screen.
"Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first year students. It seems that particular region is rather popular. In fact, I have the sneaking suspicion that you four will make your way there no matter which job you choose."
After hearing Professor Ozpin explanation Weiss, Blake, and Yang glare at Ruby, who nervously rubbed the back of her head. "Whatever makes you say that?"
"I'm still curious how you all found yourself at the docks last semester. I'm also interested to know how you really learned about a hideout in the South East. And I certainly wonder why your cousin Aodh and Miss Schnee's older sister Winter, found you four girls fighting off two giant robots some time ago."
"Um... well..." Ruby seems to be more nervous now along with the rest of her team.
"But I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm looking for. So how about this. Instead of waiting for you all to break the rules, why don't we just bend them instead?" With a quick few adjustments to his scroll Professor Ozpin hacked the mission request and allowed Team RWBY to take part in this dangerous mission.
"We won't let you down. Thank you, professor."
"Do not thank me for this. Teamwork and persistence have carried you this far. But you must understand, the things that await you beyond the protection of the Kingdom will not care. Stay close to your Huntsman at all times, and do exactly as he says. He will be leading you on this mission, and he can have you sent back to Beacon, if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory. Good luck." And with his last words of wisdom given to Team RWBY professor Ozpin could help but allow Team RWBY to take on this dangerous mission.
(Aodh)
Going on a Search and Destroy mission was something Aodh used to look forward to. It was almost like a second nature to him. But this time it was different, he knew this time he would be going with family and there friends. He had done missions with his father in the past but this was the first time with his two younger cousins Ruby and Yang.
Aodh wondered if his father ever felt the same sense of nervousness knowing you'll be protecting your loved ones from harm when they took mission together. As he walked in thought towards the Bullhead he noticed his favorite team of students arrive back from a mission.
"What's with the long face? You look like someone just ripped up your favorite beret." Aodh teased Coco as Team CFVY arrived back to Beacon.
"Oh ha ha." Coco sarcastically laughed back in response.
"Tougher mission than you thought huh?"
"Yeah..." Coco sighed in annoyance before she continue'd with her answer. "First two days were fine then something major happened inside the village and it attracted a shitload of Grimm into the area. They were lucky it happened while we were on mission there. I don't think the locals would've been able to hold out the extra help."
"Seeing some action wouldn't cause you to act like this so you're hiding something." Aodh stated as he stared directly at Coco. "What is really the problem?"
"I never got to run the dance like we were supposed to." Coco groaned in frustration.
"Thank Oum!" Fox shouted in replied from a distance.
"I had everything planned out between Velvet and Yatsu. It was going to be perfect but shit happens I suppose." A disappointed Coco confessed her true feelings over her team's delayed return.
"There's always next year so relax. It's nice to see you caring about your teammates relationship... Or lack of in this case."
"I suppose... It's just annoying watching them not making a move... Anyway you off on a mission?"
"Yeah Ozpin twisted my arm." Aodh grunted in annoyance.
"Well I wish luck to whatever first year team has to deal with you."
"Hey!"
"Joking. Have fun!" Coco laughed back as she quickly left to catch up with her team.
(Team RWBY)
Any excitement about going on there first mission was quashed the moment Team RWBY laid eyes on the Huntsman they were to shadowing. None other than doctor Bartholomew Oobleck. "Why, hello girls! Who's ready to fight for their lives?"
And Cut!
So today while writing up this chapter I discovered a bit of a shock. I discovered that while on holiday in Spain my mother decided to get a tattoo being over 50. Now I can't really count it as a mid life crisis as such but it's nothing short of a simple tattoo that represents me and my two younger sisters. But the part that get's me is the heart meant to represent me is black...
I'm hoping it's just my mother's sense of humor or it was bad lighting in the photo she sent but it's fair to say i'm not happy about it. For two reasons. 1) I'm represented by a black heart and 2) She beat me to the punchline as i'm getting a tattoo next week! Now it might be the light in the photo itself but i'm hoping the colour is a really, really, really dark blue.
Update: This was something I posted in the original chapter and looking back at it I still find it funny. Turns out that it was a dark navy colour not black. She still jokes at me saying it's black cause of my dark sense of humor.
Anyway however let's get rolling with this chapter's Q&A!
1) Which RWBY girl would you want as a girlfriend? There is a rule I was told about the minimum and maximum age you can of someone you can date. now if I were to use my age in this the minimum age of the girl i could date would be 20 and the maximum would be 38. So i'm afraid the Girls of Team RWBY are a little too young for me and i'm not Rolf Harris lol (wink, wink "Can you tell what it is yet?")
But to honestly answer and so say they are 25 (Ruby being 23 of course) then I would have to go with Ruby cause fuck y'all she adorable!
2) What universe would like to see make a crossover with either RWBY or RvB that would make the most sense to happen? Well since both a Rooster Teeth productions I'd love to see Red Vs Blue in the RWBYverse. Cause let's face three things are bound to happen. 1) Dount's gonna get shot! 2) Church won't be able to shoot anything and 3) Caboose will befriend a Grimm. That and I want to listen to a conversation between Caboose and Dr. Oobleck.
3) Which horror movie villain (not a monster or alien just a human villain) do think would make a great arch nemesis for Qrow if they were a RWBY character? Well it narrows down the choice really but having a human villain to pick from the best of horror I'd go with Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
4) If you were to write another OC RWBY fanfic about a guy from our world (where RWBY doesn't exist) that gets sent to remnant how would write it and who would you pair him with? Well if I was going to do that then I think it would be safe to say it would be a self insert OC. But the issue with that is if i use my actual age the only one who would be close to my age roughly would be Winter. And if I was to write another RWBY fanfic i'd use a different pairing. But i would lower my age to around 19 and i'd pick Coco from team CFVY.
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!
