I'm back! And those who wanted to see Blake and Darrel's time; you won't because this story is staying teen!
And those who did guess, you're right!
Let's get started.
It was May 20th. The day 1st year Beacon Academy among others were sent off on their first official missions.
However, after Blake and Darrel returned from their special night, Yang teased them to no end; but the couple didn't care at all.
Meanwhile, Darrel had just gotten back from his chat with Ozpin, Glynda, and Ironwood. As he was heading back to his dorm, he was suddenly yanked into RWBY's dorm. Inside were the rest of his team as well as Team RWBY.
"You know, before we go off to our first missions, why don't we spend a little time together?"Yang suggested. She then pulled out a small brown cylinder.
"What's that?"Ruby asked. "Dad sent something to us. I thought we could open it together."Yang stated.
"Eek! Something from home!" Ruby cheered. The red huntress dashed to Yang's side and tried to reach it.
Yang gave the cartridge a light shake, and out came a small grey cylinder. The object began shaking until it formed a small grey dog.
Everyone eyed the puppy with wonder, fear, and concern, until it gave two yips. Ruby and Yang gave out cries of cheer, while everyone else, sans DIMD freaked out, with Blake hiding behind her boyfriend.
"Ah! Zwei!"Ruby cheered.
"He sent a dog?!"Dalton shouted, surprised. "In the mail?!"Weiss added.
Ruby held the little pup as he licked her face. "Oh, he does stuff like this all the time."Yang stated.
"Your father or the dog?"Isaac asked rhetorically.
Weiss leaned in to get a better look at him. "Are you telling me that this mangy, drooling…"She stated with slight anger, but Zwei's adorable face broke her. "mutt is going wiv wif us forewer?"She said in a cute manner. She started tickling his nose. "Aww, isn't he adorable?"
"Please keep him away from my belongings."Blake said fearfully from behind Darrel.
"Would all first year students please report to the amphitheater?"Glynda's voice stated over the intercom.
"Well, we can't exactly leave him here while we're gone for a week."
Zwei meanwhile was greeting his new friends, even though Blake was reluctant to greet him. Yang pulled a letter out. "Dear girls, I'm leaving the island for a few days, so I'm sending Zwei to you to take care of. Enclosed is all the food you need. Love you both, Taiyang."Yang read out loud.
She held the cartridge upside down and several dog food cans fell out and spread into a pile. "What is he supposed to do with that?"Weiss inquired. Yang gave it a shake and out came a can opener.
Yang then tossed the cartridge away, which was grabbed by Darrel and looked into it with dumbfoundness. 'And now I've seen TARDIS mail order' He thought.
"Well that settles it! Come on guys and gals, Zwei will be here when we get back."Yang stated.
As they left Weiss stated, "Oh I'll miss you so much! We're going to be the best of friends! I can't wait to see you again!"
One by one, they left the dorm until only Ruby remained, who stared at Zwei until she had an idea.
(SCENE CHANGE!)
Ruby soon joined up with her team and her friends, carrying a Beacon backpack. Among them, were students from all 4 kingdoms.
Glynda quieted them down for Ozpin.
Ruby placed her backpack her backpack along with the rest of her team's and Darrel's cargo. Ruby shook her head. 'Darrel always over packs when it comes to anything lengthy.' She thought.
"Prof. Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin."Glynda stated.
Ozpin then took the stage. "Today we stand together, united: Mistral, Atlas, Vacuo, and Vale; the 4 kingdoms of Remnant. On this day nearly 80 years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end."Ozpin began.
"It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was fought about much more than where the borders lie or who traded with whom…but 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."Ozpin continued.
"And as you all are 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 many core aspects of art: color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither would the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity-through diversity. And none express that more than one of my pupils: Darrel Maximus." Ozpin said a few more things regarding missions before he called Darrel forward.
"While he was named after a character from a book, he expresses all of the traits I've stated through one thing: compassion for all races, human and Faunus. He cares about the safety of others, for he values his life as much as anyone else's. I've called him up here to motivate you further." And with that, Ozpin left the stage.
"Here's what I'll say: When you are out there on the field, be considerate of those around you. If you've got any bad blood with anyone, I suggest you let it go, for if you hold onto your anger towards someone and let it cloud your judgment, it may very well get you killed, as well as your allies. In conclusion, be friendly to citizens, allies, and most importantly, friends and family."Darrel then bowed and everyone applauded him and he went back to his spot where Blake tackled him and passionately kissed him, dipping him in the process.
"This is perfect! All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the southeast."Ruby stated.
"Yeah, we'll follow them around by day and give them the slip at night!"Yang said, pumped up.
"Let's check Search & Destroy."Weiss acknowledged. RWBY and DIMD walked up to a mission board. "Here we go! Quadrant 5 needs Grimm cleared out."Ruby pointed out. "Well, it is in the southeast."Blake also pointed out. "Sounds perfect!"Yang stated.
Ruby selected it and typed in team names RWBY and DIMD and unexpectedly, it accepted them! Well that was surprising."Weiss stated.
"Even though we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first year students, I've made an exception because Darrel here is among our strongest students, if not the strongest on the male side."Ozpin stated.
"Thank you White Fang!"Darrel said with pride.
"We won't let you down. Thank you, Prof. Ozpin."Ruby thanked him.
"Don't thank me for this; teamwork and persistence have carried you 8 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."Ozpin stated and then walked off.
They all looked at each other in concern and slight worry.
(SCENE CHANGE!)
The 7 young men and women were heading to their airships to take them to the southeast.
"That wasn't exactly uplifting."Yang stated. "But it is the truth."Blake said.
"It's going to be tough, but I know we can do it!"Ruby said, trying to lift their spirits.
"Can someone remind me why I'm carrying Darrel's weapons?!"Dalton said slightly annoyed. They looked around and saw no sign of the shape-shifter.
Just then, they heard a loud flapping sound and a huge shadow flew over them.
A Quetzalcoatlus with white and black scales, red scales around its eyes, an orange beak, and small orange eyes landed in-front of them.
"Darrel, is that you?"Blake asked. "The one and only!"He said in a throaty voice.
"Now i get it!"Isaac said, face-palming. "Get what"Weiss inquired.
"Boss said he wanted to take a different means of transportation that wasn't a bullhead."Matthew explained.
"So, you turned into the biggest flyer of them all?"Yang said rhetorically. "Yep: 40 feet wingspan, 16 feet tall, and yet, I only weigh 500lbs."
"How is that possible?!"Weiss asked. "Two words: Lightweight bones."
"Hey! Team CFVY is back!"A random Beacon student stated.
They all flocked towards the team. "Velvet, are you okay?"Blake asked, concerned for a fellow Faunus. "I'm fine; I had Yatsuhasi to look out for me."The rabbit Faunus stated.
"Your mission was supposed to end a week ago; what happened?"Weiss asked, concerned as well.
"Nothing happened. it was just...there was so many."Velvet said, slightly scared. "Oh, but don't worry; you first years are just shadowing Huntsmen, so you should be fine."Velvet stated. She then noticed the enormous pterosaur. "Plus, you've got one heck of a fighter."
"Right:ME!"Darrel said with bravado. With that, Velvet caught up with her team.
"We can do this; we've never backed down before, and we're not going to start now!"Ruby said seriously. Matt did give Ruby a little peck on the cheek for the confidence vote.
"Right!"Darrel stated.
"Plus, it won't only be us out there- we'll be working alongside a genuine huntsman!"Ruby said excited.
"Yeah!"The blondes shouted.
(SCENE CHANGE!)
When they got to the airships and they saw who it was, their responses were shock, disgust, embarrassment, and Darrel had his beak agape, eyes about to pop out.
Their huntsman was...Oobleck!
"Why hello, ladies and gentlemen! Who's ready to fight for their lives?!"Oobleck shouted.
"Put a bullet in me brain, doc!"Darrel said, afraid.
While this one isn't all the interesting as some of my other ones, this is just buildup for Mt. Glenn.
