(Author reactions/comments)
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Beacon Grounds, 9 AM next day
The announcement was made and teams RWBY and JNPR where basically made heroes of all the underclassmen while the upperclassmen had their suspicions of the new comer since they had never heard the names of anyone on team OAKK but nothing came of it since the professors put down most of the rumors.
Kale now sat under a tree reading a book with Aria laying next too her while they waited for team RWBY and JNPR to show up, she wished they would hurry up as she worried about her team and wished them the best of luck until she got there, it was then she heard eight pairs of footsteps heading towards her and she looked from her book too see the two teams heading towards her.
She stood up and put the book in one of her pouches saying "You guys are late." Causing some of the others to flinch as she said it only for Weiss to pipe up "Yeaaa well we tend to take a while since some of us demand a huge pile of pancakes before we leave" she sent a glare at Nora who only smiled and patted her stomach.
Kale chuckled looking at the teams "Well you're lucky its me you have to deal with and not Obadia, boy acts like a drill sergeant when we slack off." She started to walk off to the bullhead before turning back to the others "A word of warning though the others in my team can be… eccentric to say the least."
In the forest, that same moment
Obadia had woken up a few hours ago and had just finished setting up a shelter for the time being, he suddenly sneezed causing him to growl from under his mask "Yea fuck you too Kale." A.C.D.C. looked at him and chuckled as he shot a lone Beowolf that had gotten a little too close for comfort.
Back with RWBY, JNPR, and Kale
Kale chuckled as if she could feel Obadia's anger directed at her making the others look at her strangely, which she waved off and took her seat on the bullhead. On the trip to the forest Kale gave descriptions of the others on her team and a basic rundown of what they should expect in the area and they decided too split up into three groups (RBK, YNR, JPW), and once they landed they all split into their groups and headed off into different directions each following a scroll signal.
As soon as they split Blake asked "So Kale what do you think of the white fang? Since they are a big part of Faunus life, you must have some kind of opinion about them." Kale shrugged as she walked.
"I've got an opinion on them yes, as individuals they aren't bad but they are misguided by their leaders who use the image of peace between species, and warp it until the members think what they are doing is right, meanwhile all they are really doing is smearing our name in the mud." She then whispered to the point where she thought the other two wouldn't hear her "And I would take it all back if I could." Causing Blake's ears too twitch behind her bow.
Ruby smiled at the answer and said "Well I still feel bad every time I hear about them robbing a store or kidnapping someone." Those word stung deep at Kale as she was reminded a little of her past, this did not go unnoticed by Blake who was now observing Kale like a hawk.
It was close to a half hours worth of walking and a surprising but not unwelcome lack of grimm before they came upon a seemingly abandoned camp site, which Kale looked around to find clues as to were her teammate may have gone, only too find a she of tracks leading up into a tree, looking up Kale nearly threw her palm into her face as she saw a passed out Alexis in the tree with her book in hand.
She was sleeping soundly that is until Kale pulled on her leg causing the girl too slowly slide and fall out of the tree and into Kale's awaiting arms, both Blake and Ruby looked at her with questioning glares which she shrugged and said "What she falls asleep in trees quite a bit, so this is actually normal for us." This woke up Alexis who found herself in Kale's arms.
Quickly getting out of Kale's arms she slapped the fox Faunus across the face "You had me worried to death you little bitch." Ruby and Blake where taken aback about this but where even more shocked when Alexis quickly pulled Kale in for a hug "But I'm glad to see you alive and well."
Kale chuckled a bit and pulled from Alexis's iron grip of a hug before she started introductions "Alexis this is Blake and Ruby, part of team RWBY first year class. Both teams RWBY and JNPR came with me to find you, Obadia, and Ko." The information made Alexis think, before she could say anything else all members of OAKK got a message from an unknown contact explaining the situation a bit and that the teams sent to find them are students. After reading it over Alexis nodded and said, "Nice to meet you girls."
Being addressed the girls popped out of their respective shocks, which made Kale chuckle as how it went right over Alexis's head that they where in shock, Ruby was the first to speak (as usual) "Hi I am Ruby Rose leader of team RWBY and before you ask yes it does get confusing sometimes."
Then Blake decided she should introduce herself a bit after coming out of her thoughts "Blake Belladonna only member of team RWBY that seems to take problems like the white fang seriously."
Ruby quickly chimed in "We all take it seriously you only think that cause you barely sleep trying to figure out what they are up too."
Alexis split the girls up before it went any further and sighed, "This is one conversation I don't want to hear for the 100th time." She sent a glare at Kale who shrugged the others nodded while Kale was putting out the camp and already collected Alexis's things.
"Anyway I am Alexis Résister Leader of team OAKK and yes I know generally the first letter is the leader but if you meet Obadia you can guess why I'm the leader and not him." That caused a few questions that she quickly answered (hehe no spoilers for you) getting a few ahh's as the questions where answered, then she said "Now how about we meet up with the rest of my team."
With Jaune, Phyrra and Weiss
"So what do you think this Obadia guy will be like when we find him?" Jaune asked while they walked only for Weiss's quick answer "Well he was part of the Atlas school so I would expect him to be well prepared and calm."
As if on queue to Weiss's answer they heard a man screaming "WERE THE HELL ARE MY GODDAMN TOOLS! HOW CAN ANYONE BE EXPECTED TO WORK LIKE THIS?!?!" which was responded by another much calmer voice "Well we did end up here without our stuff." This caused Phyrra to stifle a laugh as Weiss's eye twitched in annoyance, as she was wrong on both accounts.
Walking into Obadia's little camp they where met with a noxious odor that made them all want to throw up there on the spot until a robot came rushing over with three masks that helped filter the air so the three could breath without the need to throw up. Without looking at the newcomers Obadia yelled in a thick Irish accent "A.C.D.C. I need that blue vial before this becomes unstable." The robot rushed over and brought the bottle over which Obadia poured into his concoction causing it to explode in his face, they all thought he died or something until he started laughing and shouting "Hey at least it worked this time!"
"It was supposed to explode?" Weiss deadpanned causing the man to wipe off his mask and look at the three watching him before saying "Why of course it was how else do you get a chemical bomb to spread to your enemies, not by just sitting there I'll tell you what."
The others only stood in shock "Why are you making chemical bombs? If you don't mind me asking." Phyrra asked cautiously Obadia only chuckled "Well its nice to see someone has a bit of manners behind that scull of theirs, I'm a scientist and my teams medic so I focus my studies into both death and how too counter it, if it where ever used against us. Anyway lets go I can't wait to get back and tell my team about the findings here" before they could say anything he was already packing things up and just like that they gave up trying to reason with him… after all how do you reason with a mad man?
With Yang, Ren and Nora
As they walked (or in Nora's case skipped) they all had one question on their mind which Nora voiced as they started getting close to the signal "Wonder what this Ko guy is gonna be like. Ohohoh maybe he is an uber strong warrior that could give Yatsu a run for his money. Or maybe he wrestles Ursa's for fun just to make others jealous of his strength. HUUUU what if he has a sloth as a little friend like how Kale has that fox." Ren could only chuckle and shake his head at Nora's compulsion to jump to conclusions "Or he might be a massive man who loves to drink and have the best parties." That one Yang laughed at how could anyone like to have parties more then her.
When they came to were the signal was both Ren and Yang jaws dropped and Nora fell over laughing as a huge man was currently drunkenly wrestling an Ursa while a smile was spread across his face, it was almost as if Nora was a physic although there was no sloth in sight which made Nora pout a little as she had hopped to see one today.
After a while the fight ended with Ko breaking the Ursa's neck and noticing the three spectators he had acquired "Well it sheems you alth enjoyed that, anyone want a drink?" Yang was the only one who accepted the offer but quickly regretted it as she took a drink from a large jug, the stuff was strong and he laughed loudly as she nearly spit it out
"What the hell is in that?" Yang asked already getting a bit tipsy only for Ko to laugh louder
"Oh a bit of this a bit of that. Now we should get going I'm sure the rest of my team is bored without me being there to liven up their lives." And with that he picked up the jug like it was nothing and made his way towards where the kids had come from in the first place.
Back at Beacon with everyone
Somehow everyone had made it without too much of an incident; well there was Ko who tried to have a party on a moving bullhead but other then that not much. After they landed the team was called up to Ozpin's office and everyone gave their story as to what had happened before they woke up which mostly lined up with what Kale had said.
Ozpin had set them up in the system as third year student and they decided to hold a ceremony to (re)welcome them to Beacon and then all the other teams where called to the ceremony room for a special announcement at the end of the day.
Once everyone had come the students wondered what the rest of the strange team looked like but for the time being could only see Ozpin on the stage while he waited for the last few stragglers to show up, once they did Ozpin cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"Well today is a day for us all to celebrate the small victories and accomplishments of two teams in this school, I would like to ask teams RWBY and JNPR to the stage at this moment please." All the members of both teams walked up to the stage and stood side by side waiting for what Oz would say next.
"Now then you eight have seemed to do what most thought was impossible, you have brought back a team that was determined KIA on their last mission, even a few huntsmen have searched for them and yet no one seemed to find them, but you have done it by accident." That caused Ruby and a couple others to blush and the six members of OAKK walk out from off stage.
"Now I believe they have something they would like to say." And with that Ozpin left the stage leaving the three teams to stare at each other for a moment, then Kale spoke up "First off I have to say thank you all for helping me find the rest of my team, we have no way to ever pay you guys back other then offering our assistance whenever you guys may need us."
Then surprisingly it was Obadia who spoke "In the words of my father, 'Actions speak louder then words' and that holds true today as you helped us find each other, normally I would disagree with helping people I have no reason to but you have given me reason enough."
A.C.D.C. spoke next "Apologies for his rash attitude, but yes help is the least we can offer and that won't even come close to what you have done for us."
Then it was Ko's turn "Well I might be able to offer a little more then the rest of my team, as I can help throw the most killer parties and on top of that in one week I am throwing one for you all as a small thank you, I hope you can all make it."
Finally Alexis spoke up "I may not be able to throw parties but I will also help you anyway I can and I hope one day you will call on us to do so, no matter the problem we will help and to quote a person whose name escapes me 'ask and you shall receive." And all six of them bowed (Yes even the fox)
And with that the school was dismissed for the day, RWBY and JNPR decided to follow OAKK around and make sure they got everything straitened out… weirdly enough OAKK had gotten the room right next to RWBY's but they didn't mind much as it meant they would be closer to the people they promised to help.
Seeing the plain room everyone got to work setting up in their own corner of the room, and just like that the room looked much different, as the desk had been taken over by Alexis and was filled with books that no one seemed to know where she stored them although Blake took interest and blushed as she saw some of the titles.
Obadia had made his corner of the room look more like a miniature lab complete with equipment and testing chambers, her also set up his computer and hooked up A.C.D.C. to it and started a download of the worlds history so they could compare any differences from the two realities.
Kale had put a couple posters up both of them bands that most of the others had heard of, one being Jeff Williams and the other being Jeremy Dooley, she also put a boom box under the window along with a chair and a small bookshelf that she seemed to pull from nowhere.
Meanwhile Ko's section of the room had barrels and lights laying all over the place, almost as if he was always ready for a party that he or someone else might throw at any second, all the while the other teams just watched as the room quickly changed from bland and generic to looking as if the team had been there all three years.
Ruby stood in a stunned state as she watched the room transformed in a matter seconds before saying "Wow, that was fast you guys must really know how the others in your team work." Only for OAKK too chuckle and in perfect sync say "We learned."
After decorating the team moved around the room putting finishing touches, or in Obadia's case studying data before they all realized seemingly at once, Alexis finally voiced it "Wait what classes do we have?" the others shrugged and they looked to RWBY and JNPR who sighed and walked in to help them figure out class schedules.
AN: Hey guys and galls sorry about the choppiness of this chapter but I couldn't figure out a way to bring them all together without breaking it up the way I did… maybe later I will come back and change something's but anyway hoped you could at least stomach this chapter, they will get better I promise. Anyway leave a review as well as any suggestions you guys have (hell even paring that you would like too see, but there are already a couple taken so you may see the pairing you want, you may not ;) can you guess who I have paired already?) as they help me out a lot. Mogar out.
