-Chapter 2-

Ellix's Return

"E…Ellix!" Ruby screamed, jumping onto him and giving a nice, tight hug.

"Ellix! You are back! You really are back!" She cried on his jacket.

He chuckled. "It's good to see you again, Ruby! You've grown taller the last time I saw you, and you also got new clothes. Cool!"

"Well, it is not really original. Just the colors are switched, but that does not matter! What's great is you are BACK!"

While being hugged by his short leader, he looked at Weiss and Blake. "Hi, Weiss and Blake, you two look lovely."

"YOU!" Weiss shouted as she pointed at him. "What took you so long!? Have you got any idea how worried Yang was!?"

"Oh, well I can explain that…until Ruby here let me go that is, it would be more comfortable for me to explain." He looked down on her, still crying and hugging him as tightly as possible.

Blake and Weiss helped him to get her off of him. She was like a leech, but they managed to pull her away from him.

"Sorry, Ellix. It is just that…I am so happy to see you again! And you've grown taller!" Ruby noticed, wiping her tears away.

"Yes, you have." Weiss said in agreement as she looked from down to up.

"And you looked quite…more mature and handsome." Blake commented honestly.

Ellix smiled. "Thank you for the flattery comment, Blake." He then noticed Yang, just staring at him. He walked up to her as the girls stood aside for him to pass through to her.

"Yang…it's good to see you again. So…" He said softly and grinning. "What do you think? I looked quite different, don't I?"

Yang looked at him. "Hmmm, you're still shorter than me."

The girls and him dropped over in disbelief, just like how Ruby agreed to be friend with Penny.

"Seriously, Yang?" He asked. "I am like around your height! I even worked out more! And you say I am shorter than you? Geez…"

Yang just putted up her joker face. "Say, Ellix. Do you want to know what else has grown larger?

"Um, what would that be?" He asked, looking confused.

"This!" She exclaimed. She grabbed Ruby, and began tormenting her by squeezing her chest.

"Y—Yang! What are you doing!?" Ruby screamed.

Weiss and Blake jaw dropped while Ellix blushing.

"Look, Ellix! I have noticed it for a while, but Ruby here has got bigger! I can feel that they are little plushy, too!" Yang stated.

"Stop, Yang!" Ruby cried as her face became redder and redder, maybe even redder than her clothes. "Not in front of Ellix!"

"Yang, please stop! This is just…getting awkward!" Ellix argued, face-palming as he hides his face.

Yang stopped tormenting her sister. Ruby cried to her embarrassment, but at the same time looked angry at her sister as Yang putted up a cheeky smile to her little sister.

"That was utterly unnecessary!" Weiss exclaimed.

"You are just jealous." Yang strike back, causing Weiss to gasp for a second and then frown horrifically at her.

"Why I will...!"

Ellix interrupted her as he coughed and stayed calm. "Anyway…I am just happy to see you girls are doing fine, and I want to say a lot about my training, but let's not talk here. I got a message on my Scroll that there is a party going at Beacon right now. Let's head there now!"

Ellix walked to his motorcycle, which his teammates finally noticed.

"Woah! Is this yours, Ellix?" Ruby asked, awing and looking at his vehicle from every angle.

"That's right! I named it 'Crescent Solar' or CS for short. It is the latest model with few custom designs I made for myself." He explained. "So, who want to ride with me? I can see that sidecar looks pretty tight for two people to sit in."

"Uuh! I would like to go!" Yang raised her arm.

"Then, who would be driving yours!?" Weiss stated.

"Oh yeah…" She rubbed the back of her head.

"I want to go!" Ruby raised her arm.

"Sure. Here is an extra helmet." Ellix popped open a container under his seat and threw a helmet to Ruby, which she caught.

Ruby got on the seat, behind Ellix. "Hang on tight, Ruby." Ellix warned. She wrapped her arms around him. She felt his body to be muscular, which caused her to blush a little.

Yang got her motorcycle ready as Blake was sitting behind her and Weiss in the sidecar.

"Hey, Ellix? Wanna race to Beacon from here?" Yang challenged.

"Hmmm, a race, huh?" Ellix pondered before he nodded. "Naw. Maybe some other…."

Suddenly, he revved up the engine and roared away onto the road.

"Hey, did he just head start before us!?" Weiss asked.

"Oh, he's on!" Yang said determinedly as she started her, chasing after him.

Ellix was up ahead until he checked the side mirror, showing Yang pursing behind him.

"Ellix…that was kind of dirty!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Who had put up the rule in the first place, Ruby?" He asked.

"You know…you have a good point there. Let's beat them to dust!" Ruby said determinedly.

Ellix revved up the engine, going faster. Yang did her as she gained speed.

Yang finally caught up to his side.

"That was a sly move, Ellix!" Yang yelled.

"Yeah, I know, but watch this!" He replied. He revved up the engine, causing it go faster. Up ahead was a curve.

"Um, Ellix…what are you doing!? We are going to crash!" Ruby yelled.

"Not today!" He replied.

He just kept going straight until he pushed the motorcycle to jump over the curve. His motorcycle flied momentarily over the trees before it landed on the road again.

"Woah! That…was…AMAZING!" Ruby cheered.

"Did you see that!?" Weiss shouted.

"That…that was incredible! Risky, but just incredible." Blake said.

Yang just smiled excitedly. Ellix and Ruby arrived first at Beacon Academy. He parked his motorcycle slowly, but surely. Ruby got off, feeling her legs went to sleep from the thrilling ride she just had.

Ellix grabbed her hand. "You're OK, Ruby? Sorry if I surprise you too much."

"Oh no! I am totally fine!" Ruby said, smiling, but in a twitchy way.

"Um, sure." He sweat dropped. Yang arrived shortly. Weiss checked her hair in the mirror, gasping on how she looked. She immediately fixed it.

"That was...a wild ride! Woohoo!" Yang shouted before she punched on his shoulder.

"Pretty wild I say." Blake said as she fixed her bow.

"Too wild for my taste." Weiss moaned with her face little green.

"Well, I think it was kind of little dangerous but it was fun, right? Anyway, how about let's head to the party? I am excited to see the rest of our friends, and the teachers." Ellix said as he walked to the ballroom. The girls followed after him.

Meanwhile, Team SSSN, Team JNPR, and some other students, including freshmen were hanging out and enjoying the party. Sun looked around worryingly.

"Yo, chill man." Netpune said.

"I know, but I just wonder where she is, you know." Sun said. "Aren't you worry about your girl, dude?"

"Dude…I can wait for her." Neptune said as he looked at the younger female freshmen.

"Seriously, man?" Sun sighed.

"Where is Team RWBYE?" Jaune thought out loud.

"Maybe, they went to bed early?" Ren asked.

"But, the night is still young!" Nora exclaimed.

Soon, they noticed the girls entering through the door. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang came in first.

"Yo, Blake, over here!" Sun called to her.

Blake waved at him, but before they walked up to them, they allowed him to enter through. Ellix looked around until he saw Sun and the others, with their face shocked.

"Ellix!" They shouted. They ran up to them as Team RWBYE walked up to them.

"Yo! Dude, you are back!" Sun shocked as they gripped their hand each other.

"Yeah, and I am surprised you and your team here, Sun! Let me guess? You guys transferred here, right?" Ellix guessed.

"Hell yeah! You got that right, man!" Sun replied.

"Ellix!" Nora yelled, giving him a very tight hug.

"Oof!"

"Oh, Ellix! I miss you so much! And you've grown like a tree!" Nora noticed.

"Yeah, I did. You're bubbly as always, Nora. Now if you don't mind…let me go please!" Ellix squeaked. She was stopped by Ren, releasing her from him as he breathed in and out again.

"Ellix, we are happy to see you. How was your training?" Pyrrha asked.

"Well…I will explain that when I have the time. It is kind of a long story." He said.

"Well, well. The man of the hour has finally showed up." They turned to see Kuro alongside his new partner, Alice walked up to them.

"Kuro!? You became a student here?" Ellix asked surprisingly.

"Of course! I learned from the past experience that learning outside of my home would be a great experience for me, so I decided to attend here at Bacon Academy." Kuro said.

"It is Beacon." Blake corrected him again, causing him to gasp and scowled at her.

"Ellix!" Alice exclaimed.

"Alice!?" Ellix gasped. "Woah! So you decided to attend Beacon! That's great!"

"Yeah! I thought long about which academy to attend since we last met, and I fully decided to come here, to Beacon Academy." Alice said happily.

"That's good! It looks like this will be an interesting year now that you are here." Ellix smiled. Alice smiled back at him very joyfully, comparing to how she behaved when rest of his teammates met her this morning.

"You actually know this girl?" Weiss asked curiously.

"Yeap! I met Alice last year during my training at Sanctum." Ellix admitted.

"Mr. Knight." A voice called. Everyone turned to the voice, revealing to be Professor Ozpin along with Glynda Goodwitch and Qrow.

"Mr. Knight, it is pleasure that you've returned safely. How are you?" He asked.

"I am good, Professor Ozpin. Thank you for asking." Ellix replied.

"Welcome back, Mr. Knight. I see that you've…changed into a fine man." Prof. Goodwitch commented.

"Thank you, Professor Goodwitch." He replied with a tint of blush.

"Finally you are here. What took you so long?" Qrow snickered before he took another drink.

"Hey! You are the one who sent me on a mission on the last minute!" Ellix complained.

"But, it was a good work for you, right? You did it, right?" Qrow asked jokingly.

"What the mission was about?" Ruby asked with an interest in her eyes.

"Mission? More like an errand!" Ellix stated. "This drunken man sent me to the corner of Vale to get this!" Ellix took out something out of his jacket. It was a new, shiny flask. His friends and teammates looked at it with confused, yet curious look.

"A new flask?" Yang asked.

"Yeah! And what a time I had to just even get this thing! I have to fight through a pack of Beowolves and Ursa, climbed up a mountain, go through a swamp with my motorcycle getting stuck more than I can count, fought some goons, and finally arrived at the store, and what the storekeeper said when I got there; he said he ran out of this flask, so I have to go to another store to buy it and that storekeeper was very stubborn, so I have to enter a rodeo tournament to win it!"

All his friends thought up the tale in their mind.

"Wait, you can do rodeo?" Yang asked, looking like she will burst in laughter.

"It's not that funny! But…" Ellix turned to Qrow. "Here! You can have your stupid flask!"

"Thanks." Qrow replied as he walked away and tried his new flask. Ellix huffed out some air to relieve his held anger at Qrow.

"Well…I see you've been busy, Mr. Knight. I recommend you to enjoy the rest of the evening. You deserve it from your long travel." Professor Ozpin said.

The music changed to calm, soothing song. It was slow music, and Ellix thought up a plan. "Hey, Yang. Want to dance?" He offered his hand to her.

"Huh?" She looked perplexed.

"Come on. It will be like old time." He said.

Yang gently smiled at him. "Sure."

She accepted their hand, walked to the center of the ballroom, and began dancing. He held both his hands just above her hips while Yang held on him.

"Oh, this is so romantic!" Ruby squeaked excitedly.

"Just like the old time." Blake grinned.

Rest of their friends smiled and was just happy to see that they are back together from his one long year training.

"Excuse me, but is Ellix and Yang...?" Alice questioned.

"Yeah. They are couple." Kuro answered plainly. "What about them, Pinkie?"

"Ooh, I see. It's...nothing, just curious that's all" She said downheartedly. "And for the last time...is not Pinkie!"

Back to them dancing on the ballroom, Ellix gently touched the side of her face, and into her hair, gently rubbing it down.

"You don't mind I touch your hair, right?" He asked.

"You're my boyfriend. Of course you can touch my hair…That is if you don't pull even one strand, then we're cool." She answered. However, Ellix decided not to. He knows that her hair is the most precious thing in the world to her.

They stared each other in the eyes. Yang brought herself closer to him until she was at the very closet, with her chest meeting his chest. He noticed the feel, causing his face to bright red color, which she noticed and giggled. She surrounded her arm around his back as he did around with her. She laid her head on the side of his head, over his right shoulder as she hugged him while they slow danced. He hugged her back, too.

Suddenly, a loud gunshot was heard and their dance was interrupted. Everyone panicked. There was a group of men at the door, and the man in the middle looked very familiar to Ellix.

Professor Goodwitch approached the man furiously. "Excuse me, but who are you men!?"

"Look at ya, lady!" The big man yelled. "I traveled a far, far away place to get a revenge on a certain someone who goes to this fancy school! I want to meet a boy named Ellix Knight! Now, where is that lad!?"

"Who is he!?" Weiss demanded, getting out her weapon, Myrtenaster. Everyone else followed her lead.

"I don't know, but I'm scared!" Alice shook in fear behind Kuro.

"Oh come on! I understand fear of Grimm, but even to these guys! Geez!" Kuro complained.

Yang got her weapon out, the Ember Celia, but Ellix stopped her with his arm out. "Don't worry, Yang. I will handle this." He walked up to Professor Ozpin's side and said, "Professor Ozpin, may I deal with these uninvited guests?"

He looked at Ellix. "Well, they a they seemed to know you. Do as you please." The headmaster said with an assuring grin. "Glynda, stay down. Let Mr. Knight handle this."

Professor Goodwitch walked back to Ozpin as Ellix passed by her.

"Oh, there you are, pal!" The man said.

"Hey, Babby! What's up?" Ellix waved at him innocently.

"That guy's name is Baby?" Alice asked timidly. Ruby, Nora, and even Jaune laughed and giggled a little.

"It is not pronounced like that!" He yelled, scaring Alice and causing the three to stop their laughing. Then, he looked back at Ellix.

"Well, howdy again, Ellix! And I got your name and location after my men and I stopped at a club downtown. And I am here to get revenge! I am gonna punched, kicked, shake you up to…!"

"Oh, you want a shake? I will give you a shake!" Ellix putted up a joker smile as he starting shaking Babby.

"Hey, stop it! Stop!" He shouted. Ellix stopped shaking him. "Not me! I mean you, you silly goose!"

"Oh, me! OK." Suddenly, Ellix went away until he came back with a table, blender, and some other random fruits and milk. He putted the fruits and milk in the blender, and started it. After 10 seconds, he stopped the blender and poured it into a glass of cup, and putted a straw for the finishing touch.

"Ta-da! There, a fruity milkshake!" He exclaimed as he took a sip. "Mmm, refreshing! Do you want some?"

"Oh, don't mind that I do." He said kindly as Ellix gave him the glass. He drank it, but then just threw it to the ground, causing the glass cup to break.

"NO! Not that kind of shake! I mean I will shake you to pain, you random buffoon!"

"Oooh!" Ellix realized. His friends watched as the situation unfolds. Yang and Ruby tried their best to not laugh, even though the situation was very serious. Nora was already on the edge of laughing outburst.

"So…why are you here exactly?" Ellix asked.

"Why!? Why, I am here to get my revenge! I brought more of my men to come and get you! After what you done back at the bar, your time of prayer has come, son!" Babby claimed.

"Son?" Ellix repeated. "Dad!? Aaah!"

Suddenly, Ellix gave him an unexpected hug. RY and Nora burst into laughter as rest of their friends began chuckling. Weiss looked quite confused, but chuckled a little. Babby felt uncomfortable, shrugging him off from him.

"No, no!" He shouted, pushing Ellix away from him. "I am not your father! That is biologically improbable!"

His friends watched, laughing even harder. The freshmen and other students began laughing as well. Even Professor Ozpin found the situation to be amusing.

"That's it! You are gonna get it! Boys, get him!" He commanded.

"Wait!" Ellix interrupted as everyone stopped laughing. "I give! I give! Just put your little toy away, and I promise you, Babby that you may beat me up by punching me in the face."

"What!?" His friends said in unison.

"Huh? Wait, hold up, boys!" He ordered as his men laid down their weapon. "You're serious?"

"Yes, yes, I am. I will let you punch in my face."

"You are not pulling any tricks, are you?"

"Nope. I have both my arms out, so give me your best shot."

Babby rolled his eyes as he thought to himself before he fully decided. "Alright, then! You got yourself a deal!"

He transformed his bracelet into a punching glove with his right hand. "Any last words?"

"Hit me as hard as you can!"

"Ellix! Wait!" Ruby and Yang yelled in unison.

"Um, sure!" Babby nodded before he grinned evilly. He punched Ellix's face, causing a huge shockwave.

"Ellixxxxx!" Yang shouted.

However, everyone looked shock. Even Babby couldn't believe his eyes. Ellix's face was now covered with a black helmet as one of his eyes glowed in dark purple.

"Black Knight's helmet!" Professor Ozpin noticed.

"What the!?" Babby looked shock.

Ellix then putted his palm on his chest. In the next second, he was pushed by a powerful wind, blowing him away as he crashed through the door. His men jaw dropped at their instantly defeated boss before they slowly turned to Ellix.

Ellix's helmet disappeared as he made a very serious face before he putted up a joker smile. "So…who want to go next?"

Few seconds of silence later, all of the men just ran away out of the building as some of them dragged the fainted Babby as they escaped.

His friends went up to him, cheering for him.

"Wow! That was so cool!" Nora claimed.

"Pretty impressive…in a very silly way, but mostly impressive!" Ren commented.

"How did you do that, Ellix!?" Jaune asked.

"I would like to ask, too! How do you blast that man away with just one hand?" Weiss questioned.

"Well…I will tell you guys later. Tomorrow, I will show you new tricks I learned during the fighting class. See ya guys later."

Ellix walked away from his friends as he headed to the balcony while they and everyone else watched him quietly as he just walked away in a calm, cool manner.

"Woah. That Dude…has become like the coolest Dude ever." Neptune said. "Well, at least the second coolest Dude ever."

"Wow. Ellix really has become stronger than ever. I can't wait for tomorrow's fighting class!" Ruby said excitedly, couldn't hold her enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Ellix watched the night sky as he saw a crescent moon above him from the balcony while the party resumed. He then heard footsteps and without even looking back, he knew who it was.

"Yang." He spoke.

Yang walked up to his side.

"Hey, that was pretty cool back there! You really showed that guy who is the boss! And very comedic, too." Yang said, smiling.

Ellix smirked. "Well…it was nothing." He rubbed the front of his face.

"What's wrong? Did that man made a booboo on you?" Yang baby-talked.

"No, I didn't get hurt, but his punch was quite fast, so I had to react very quickly. The impact was quite strong, so I kind of feel little bit of a pain on my face." He explained admittedly.

Yang grinned flirtatiously. "I can fix that for you."

"How would you do that?" Ellix asked blankly.

"This." She putted her hand on his each shoulder as she synced her lips closer to his face.

"Y—Yang?" He questioned, blushing redder as she kissed him on one part of his face to another part. Then, she looked at him for a second or two with half-lidded eyes and grin until she kissed him on his lips.

Suddenly, a burst of energy rushed into his blood. His face reached a tipping point, but settled down shortly to a normal color. He brought her closer to his chest as he kissed her deeper. They kissed for some seconds that felt like ages until they stopped to catch breaths. She giggled as she laid her forehead to his.

"You really wanted that, didn't you?" She flatly asked.

"Um, well…yes, I did." He nervously replied with a grin. She giggled.

"You know. "She said, close to his face. "You did grow taller, now that I see you up closer."

"Finally, you realize it." He chuckled.

"I...really missed you, Ellix."

"I miss you, too, Yang. Whenever I am not training or occupied with something else, I always thought about you."

They then give another round of a kiss, gentler and warmer than last one while the full moon watched over them. Little they know that their teammates were watching them, spying on them as Ruby squeaked quietly and joyfully at them with a tint of redness on her face.

Author's Note" Hey guys, what's up! Happy New Year's Eve with a brand new chapter to end the old year and begin with the new year! What did you all thought of for this chapter? How did you all like Ellix's return? By the way, scene with him and Babby is actually a parody based on the "Good Burger" skit from Jimmy Falon's Tonight Show, if I got the name of the TV talk show correctly. I hope all of you enjoy another comedic scene, and more will come in the future when I thought up of something.

Well, folks, I guess that is it. So, next times in Tales of Ellix Knight 2, Team RWBYE attends their classes on the first day, and during the fighting class, they and their friends will have a little practice run with the first-year students! See you guys in the NEXT CHAPTER and have a Happy New Year, and good luck in 2016! See you all again soon!
