A/N: Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. School has been busy for my brother, but he really wanted to give you all something. So at long last, here is the next chapter. Once again, Can you figure out what each OC in ROSE represents?
Thank you, Nobody95 for following.
-Mr Ruffles- Hello our favorite guest, I'm glad you are enjoying Saturn and Efin. They do have a Nora/ Ren feel to them. And as far as interactions go. You are all going to get plenty of crazy school scenarios with team ROSE.
Roman stepped back arms free-wheeling as a paw swiped the air by his face claws extended. He was grateful that it missed his beautiful face. As the paw passed, he straightened his stance and bludgeoned his cane against the grim's masked head. This attack did nothing but irritate it as its spiked tail whipped toward him only to be stopped by an ice wall created by Olina who behind him. Peridot was slicing at its legs, but the beast's hide was tough.
The panther like grimm hissed and the amount of air passing through is gaping mouth was enough to push all of the students back. Roman backflipped out of the way as the cat grim tried to pounce. A fire blast to the face from Olina and a sword slice from Peridot were enough to distract it for a moment.
Peridot was quick with her blows but the beast was just as fast. A well placed swipe knocked the green-haired back slamming into a tree next to Lapis. Roman looked at Olina who nodded. The two ran forward. Olina sent yellow sparks from her weapon drawing the beast's attention.
The grimm swung its tail at her. Olina was quick on her feet dodging each attempt. Finally backflipping away from the grim and the fallen Peridot. The beast roared sending a couple of the spines from its back toward the girl. Roman held out his cane toward the girl. She leapt from the projectiles path onto his cane before disappearing into the trees.
Roman used the creature's momentary confusion to shoot a blast into its face sending it backwards. The beast was stunned and Roman hurried to put the muzzle of his gun toward a small gap in its armor. The grim regained awareness knocking Roman aside with a clawed paw. "Roman," Olina called out concerned jumping from the trees between the two drawing the creature's attention with her graceful movements. Her weapons sent wisps of fire and ice toward the beast.
She pointed her weapon at the grim for nothing. She looked shocked at the empty weapon before vaulting over an incoming paw and flipping over the beast giving it a well-deserved kick.
Roman recovered straightening himself as Olina flipped to his side. "Any ideas, best strategist of Signal?" the girl asked panting.
"One or two," Roman admitted, "Here, take this." The orange-haired teen passed a small dust crystal to the blue-haired girl. "Once you get an opening inject it between the armor plates on its head." Olina nodded her understanding as the beast padded toward them.
The panther crouched and lurched forward. Roman leaned forward slightly giving Olina another vaulting surface. The girl used the extra height to spin kick the grim sending it back with a hiss. Roman bounced Melodic Crudgel against the ground toward the sprawling beast sending it more off balance. His weapon returned and he shot another quick blast.
"Now Olina," Roman commanded holding out his cane flat. The girl nodded jumping onto the weapon. Roman pushed the girl up at the same time she pushed off. Olina was up in an instant before coming down at an even faster speed.
Her baton-like weapon stabbed the narrow gap at the base of the creature's neck. A moment of silence was broken by a muffled explosion as the grimm's head imploded. Olina fell to her knees clearly exhustated. Roman also was struggling to catch his breath. "How was that plan, Sweetheart?"
The girl frown slightly before giving him a smirk, " Not bad, but I bet I can do better."
...
Roman walked onto the stage as his name was called. "Operculina Hamilton," Ozpin continued and Olina took her place beside him standing at attention. "Saturn Rockett," the headmaster called out. The girl with yellow-orange ponytails bounced onto the stage and stood bouncing beside the stiff Olina. She tugged at the other girl's arm, but Olina kept her stance. "And Efin Pommei," at the last name called the ninja-like teen padded onto the stage where Saturn waved at him. "You four retrieved the white pawn pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team ROSE. Led by Roman Torchwick," Ozpin announced.
Roman looked at Olina expecting a negative reaction. The huntress feeling his gaze turned hers to him and gave a small nod. Saturn seemed like nothing changed as she was still waving at the crowd and elbowing Efin. The ninja-teen also bowed his head slightly indicating that he also didn't have a complaint.
The newly formed Team ROSE exited the stage. They stood near the stage looking up at the stage as the final team was called.
"Opal Mintabie, Peridot Burma, Alexandrite Tanzania, Lapis Baikal," Ozpin called out. Roman watched as one by one each student walked onto the stage. Opal stepped into view first, her appearance perfect like she hadn't spend the day in a forest. Peridot stood next to her confident. Alexandrite looked unamused as he stood with his arms crossed. Lapis had her arms wrapped protectively around her waist as she had her blue eyes trained to the floor. "From this day forward, you will work together as Team OPAL. Led by Opal Mintabie," Ozpin finished.
Roman chuckled to himself as Alex's shoulders slumped. Everything he dreaded on the airship just occured and the teen looked crushed.
"What's funny?" Olina asked looking up at him.
"Nothing much. Just... this year is going to be interesting," Roman said as Ozpin echoed the same statement.
...
Team ROSE stood at the doorway of their new dorm room. There were four beds all lined up, a couple of dressers, and desks. Saturn the first to step through the door went to one of the beds. "I love it," Saturn said excited as she bounced on the bed. It creaked a little which wasn't very encouraging.
"It seems acceptable," Olina commented, "If not a bit small." She held her head high as she examined the furniture. She prodded it carefully.
"I don't take up much space," Efin said putting his bags down in one of the two closets taking up much of the space.
"Don't worry. It's not like I need to use the closet," Roman said sarcastically pushing the ninja's bags aside to fit his own in the small closet. The result was a large pile nearly reaching the clothes that was hanging above. Olina and Saturn were putting their clothes into one of the two dressers.
"Saturn, if you will kindly keep your clothing in your drawers," Olina said to which Saturn replied with a 'sorry'.
Roman took out some of his clothes from his bags and started to put them in the other dresser. Efin slipped beside the other teen and started to put his own clothes in. The two bumped into each other as they each tried to finish their unpacking. "I'm putting my bags under my bed," Efin said pointing to the bed closest to the restroom.
"Saturn and I will be taking the beds closest to the bathrooms," Olina stated calmly standing in front of the beds as if to protect them from the ninja.
"Yeah, our beds," Saturn said jumping on the bed that Efin had pointing out.
Roman chuckled at the scene as Efin picked another bed this one as far away from the bathroom. He would argue the point, but he just found it amusing that the two girl's were insistent on sleeping by the restroom. The orange-haired teen figured the two would eventually regret that decision.
The ninja teen slipped his bags under the bed and Roman did the same. Unpacking finally done, he plopped onto the free bed. He closed his eyes tiredly.
"You can't sleep yet," Olina said.
"It's still mid-day," Saturn added helpfully.
"Yes, but we need to come up with a bathroom schedule and maybe put up a curtain to separate your side from ours," Olina corrected.
Roman groaned opening his green eyes to see both girls hovering over him. "Efin help me out here," Roman said looking at the ninja-like teen. Efin looked up from his sketchbook, pencil in hand.
"Don't look here. I think she has a point," he said before turning his amber eyes back to his drawing. "It would be proper."
Roman sat up as Saturn, now bored with the conversation bounced to Efin. She was trying to look over his shoulder to peek at whatever he was drawing. The ninja closed the sketchbook much to Saturn's disappointment. "Well," Olina asked.
RWBY~RWBY~RWBY
Alex sat on his bed shaking his head as Opal started posting up posters and setting up drapes. "This room has to look perfect," she said as she fussed with a painting.
"I brought a vase and some flowers," Lapis said softly, but the leader didn't hear as she busied herself decorating.
"Opal," Peridot called out causing the other girl to stop. Opal faced Peridot as she continued, "Lapis said she has a vase and flowers."
"That would be perfect," Opal said. Alex put his face in his hands and wondered if it was too late to go to Atlas instead.
"You look like you're about to die," Peridot's voice said and Alex lifted his head. The taller girl gave a knowing smile.
"Her as a leader; we're all about to die," Alex said.
Peridot chuckled, "Give her a chance. She may surprise you."
