Yo Peeps, GMG with chapter 19. The story is catching up to Ship Shape in terms of chapters. I'm sure everyone is excited for Monday, due to the character short for volume 4. The Hype Train is back in station. Last night saw a good response to the chapters from last few days. 20 emails last night and a handful of lovely reviews. XD

TIME FOR STUFF! ONWARDS!

Diclaimer: I do not own RWBY...

Furious battles raged. Four nations locked in combat, using whatever advantages may come their way. This was Remnant: The Game and Team RWBY was locked in intense combat for the prize of being the ruler of Remnant. Being the first time for Blake and Weiss, Ruby and Yang teamed up with them forming two alliances. This was a battle of Ladybug and Freezerburn.

Off to the side sat Team JNPR, Jaune watching the game with interest. Lady Luck was not on Ladybug's side, he realized, if the wails of Ruby were any indicator. The draws by both Yang and Weiss and some crazy roll luck had thwarted the young leader's attempts to steam roll her sister.

"Sup losers." Sun's voice cut in, drawing the girls' attention. Behind him was Neptune. "Whatcha playing?"

Ruby brightened up at the question. "Remnant!"

Neptune quirked a brow. "In a library?" He glanced around. "Aren't libraries for reading?"

"Thank you!" Everyone turned to Ren who had yelled it.

Swatting at his friend, Sun laughed. "Ignore him, he's just being a nerd."

"Intellectual," corrected the blue haired boy. "So, ladies, plans for the dance?" He smiled flirtatiously.

The four looked at each other before turning to him and saying together, "Taken."

He drooped. "All of you?"

In response, Blake and Ruby lifted their joined hands, while Yang and Weiss did the same.

Sun snickered. "At least you girls have your dates all worked out."

Weiss nodded. "Also, due to CFVY leaving on mission, Yang and I are planning, so we have more time to do that."

Over with JNPR, Pyrrha glanced at Jaune at the mention of dates for the dance.

XXXGMGXXX

After they left the library later, they returned to the dorm and placed the game away. Ruby had gone to grab her nightwear, when her scroll buzzed. Slipping it open, her eyes widened before tossing it to Blake. The girl was surprised at the sudden toss, but her cat-like reflexes allowed her to catch the device with no issue. Looking at the message, she nodded and placed her book aside.

"Something up?" Yang asked as the girls were making to leave.

Blake shrugged. "Ozpin wanted to see us for something."

"What did Ruby do this time?" Weiss added, frowning.

Ruby looked indignant. "I didn't do anything!" She paused, looking unsure. "I think."

"It could just be to check on her," Blake said. "She is unique in her situation of getting here two years earlier than normal."

The heiress nodded. "That makes sense too. Off you go."

With that, the couple exited the dorm and made their way to Ozpin's office. The trip was relatively quick, not many people around with the late hour and the ground floor office void of any professors. A quick ride in the elevator and they were soon in the office, being greeted by the headmaster's voice. "Ah, Miss Rose, thank you for coming."

Ruby smiled brightly, saluting childishly. "No problem, sir."

His bronze eyes turned to Blake. "And Miss Belladonna, thank you for accompanying her." When she only nodded her sighed. "You are wondering why I've called you here?" Both girls nodded. "A certain someone wanted to speak with you, Miss Rose, and given the topic of his conversation, you were needed as well Miss Belladonna."

"That formal speech must annoy you, Ozpin," said another voice, making Ruby bounce in excitement. Qrow got up from a chair off to the side of the room, taking a drink from his ever present flask. "Sup Kiddo?" He looked at Blake. "Mrs. Kiddo"

Blake blushed at the blatant comment. Ruby however, ran forward and hugged the man. "Uncle Qrow, I'm so happy to see you!"

Ruffling her hair, he pulled her off him and smirked. "Happy to see you too, Ruby." His smile dropped. "Ruby, I came here because you need more training." Seeing her expression falter, he continued. "Not in the sense that you aren't good enough for Beacon, but that you need to learn to control your other semblance."

From his desk, Ozpin spoke. "From Miss Belladonna's expression, she's wondering what her part is." At the Faunus' nod, he glanced at Qrow. "Qrow was wondering about the possibility of training Ruby and wanted to wait until there was possibly someone who had a special connection with Miss Rose."

"How often has Ruby phased through you, Blake?" Qrow asked suddenly.

Blake's eyes widened as she thought back. Going over the many instances in her head, she realized. "None."

"How often has she phased through things around you?"

"A handful of times," Blake replied. "Are you saying that I can help her control it?"

Ozpin nodded. "The possibility is there, Blake. That is why we called you here."

"That's enough for now, Oz." Qrow headed towards the elevator. "They have a grasp on the situation, which is good enough. I'll take them back to their dorm." He gestured for the girls to follow. "I'd like to check up on Yang as well."

Watching them leave, Ozpin's composure sagged and he sighed. "Hopefully she'll figure it out. With all that's going to happen, it will certainly be a boon for her."

XXXGMGXX

Weiss and Blake watched with rapt attention at the sheer speed and control that Ruby, Yang, and Qrow seemed to possess as they played their game. Ruby was by far the fastest at pressing button sequences that had her character initiating flawless combo sequences and pressuring her opponent into defensive options.

Yang, having grown up with it, was able to react and played the defensive game flawlessly. Qrow, however had the speed and reaction time to destroy either one, if their complaints and whining were anything to go by.

The matches continued for an hour before Qrow bid them a goodnight, making sure to properly say goodbye to 'Mrs. Kiddo' and 'Mrs. Brat' in turn. Both girls blushed, though Weiss was more angry at the name, because she was in no way a brat. Before she could retort, the man was gone. He had learned enough from Winter to know when to avoid an angry Schnee. He wouldn't stop calling her that, because annoying the white haired sisters was amusing.

As he closed the door behind him, he grinned. "Good night, Kiddo."

End...

Chapter 19 completed. Another filler chapter, but the dance is upcoming, so HUZZAH for that.
