A/N: Hey guys! Since I've been dormant from the writing world, I thought I would give you this little update. Yes, the sequel is being made. I got the Title, the Cover Art, All major plot points plotted out, and I am halfway through the first arc. Yes, I am making Arcs. Fun! That is, if Monty doesn't add any major major (yes, 2 major) plot twists/deaths in the story.
The plan is to upload the first Chapter the Friday after the last episode in volume 2, and that saturday as well, then upload every saturday after that. That gives me a week to stay ahead in the chapters.
Like I said earlier, My writing has been dormant, so here is a little story I wrote for English class, using different phrases to construct it. To me, it sucks, but it's he best I could do with what was handed to me. So, here it is (And no, this will not be apart of the sequel) (The Highlighted parts, if they show up, were the parts given to me):
Willow Grundy: Ace Detective
"Willow, the dolphins will survive the trip!" His mother, Georgia, yelled at him through the rain.
"Yes they will!" Willow yelled a reply to her, the 3 dolphins strapped to his back. "Once they get away from this place, they can finally join their brothers and sisters in the sea!"
"No, you won't even get past airport security!" His mother yelled at him, as she followed him out of his car.
"Oh yeah? Watch me!" Willow yelled in response. He broke through the doors of the airport. Originally, he was going to put them through bag check, and possibly get them onto the plane as luggage. But, that plan quickly went down the drain, as Southwest didn't have a dolphin plan for baggage.
People looked up from what they were doing as Willow bolted through the crowded airport, running over people if they didn't move out of the way. The dolphins clicked with excitement, as Willow quickly approached the security guards. "Freeze!" The guard yelled, as he pulled for his gun. Willow looked at the guard, inspecting him as they came to a collision point. He was, maybe about 5'11', but didn't look the strongest. Willow looked at his nametag; his name was Spencer Lanning. This gave willow an idea, as the former Brown's punter was also named this. Willow made a split second decision then and there.
Willow mustered up all the strength he had in his legs, and tried to hurdle the security guard. But, he mistimed it, and ended up kicked the guard on the face. Willow was caught off balance, and stumbled past the gate, until he regained his balance. "Sorry!" He yelled behind him, the security guard just then getting up.
"Not again…" The security guard rubbed his head, flashbacks of the game against the Steelers still fresh in his mind.
Willow kept running, eventually finding his gate. They were finishing boarding, the last passenger just getting through. The dolphins immediately began clicking from fear, that this is as far as they will go. Willow had to run faster, or else they wouldn't make it. The doors of the gate were beginning to shut now, both doors coming together. Willow, deprived from almost all of his energy, made one last stride, and dove for the door as it was closing. This is going to be close! Thought Willow, as the doors shut, and he…
Thunder struck right outside of his apartment, waking Willow suddenly. His eyes were wide open with fear, as the nightmare had come to a close. His heart was racing, his pulse almost jumping out of his skin. He looked immediately to his right, finding a picture of his brother, Juniper, who worked as both a CIA agent and a part time gamer. Long ago, when he started having this nightmare, his brother would be by his side. Now, his picture gives him comfort whenever the dream happens.
Another thunderbolt touched down near his apartment again, which caused Willow to look outside. The sun was starting to come out, and, as Willow had predicted, it was about 4:00 a.m. It was stormy day in Portugal, yet again. Willow sighed, as he shuffled out of bed. He quickly put on his usual suit and tie, fixing a quick bowl of cereal. Once he was done, he got into his silver Honda Accord, and started driving to the station, until he got a call on his phone.
"Hello, this is Willow Grundy speaking." He finally answered, after fumbling about with his phone.
"Hey partner!" The voice responded on the other line, much to Willow's displeasure.
"Hey… Bismo…." Willow responded, not wanting to talk to his intern partner right now. Bismo Funyons was fresh out of college, trying to join the force. Unfortunately for Willow, he got the "pleasure" of being his mentor. He still remembers the first weekend in April, when the feisty, yet kindhearted and spirited young adult extended his hand.
"We have a case at the Birch Aquarium, and you'll want to see this." Was all Bismo said, as he hung up. At first, Willow only sighed more, as he was only about 3 minutes away from the San Diego, CA aquarium. 3 minutes from seeing Bismo, that scrawny, useless, unhelpful kid again. But, his attention was swayed to that of curiosity, as multiple media sources were surrounding the entrance. That's odd… He thought, After 30 years of being on the force, I have never seen this much media before…
Willow had to basically crowd surf through the reporters, and finally got to the scene of the crime. The local whale washer was there, pacing back and forth. Before he could get to him, he heard the voice of all that is annoying. "We have a theft crime here." Bismo reported.
"I see that…" He responded, as he looked to the aquarium, not seeing the usual, friendly dolphins. He looked around the stadium, then saw something that caught his eye on the ground. It's small, and could be overlooked, but, thanks to Willow's trained eye, he was able to see it.
"So, do you have any idea who did it?" Bismo asked, looking over his shoulder, trying to see what he was looking at.
"Stamps… I have a good idea." Willow picked up the stamp, holding it in front of Bismo's face. "He's a Stamp Collector. Do you remember what happened a few years ago in the Walrus kidnapping case?"
"Yeah, the guy was never caught. The only evidence recorded was-" Bismo's eyes widened, as realization struck him.
"-A stamp. We already have our kidnapper: Stamp Guy Steve." Willow finished Bismo's sentence, as his heart almost leapt out of his heart onto the floor.
To Be Continued...
A/N: Well... that was something... I hope all of you are doing well in school, and are enjoying RWBY. This will hopefully be the last update before chapter 1, so, until then, Be Safe, Have Fun, Be Smurt.
But Before I go, there is something I want to talk about, and it is kinda serious. So I'm going to put this disclaimer before I go off on a rant: If you are a Hardcore Fan of RWBY, and don't want to hear about criticism about the show, then don't read from here on.
Okay, so on the RWBYQuest Blog on Tumblr (go check it out, it's 5/5), theres been a conversation going on between a couple of people, criticizing the show's plot and overall shape of it. My thoughts are almost alike, but there are a few differences
1. Jaune's Love Story Arc- Completely agree. A waste of time. I personally think that Jaune shouldn't be getting that much screen time. The stats show the Blonde Boy has more lines than Yang, including her long speech to Blake. (#WhensTheYangBreakthrough?) But, back on topic, it is so stupid, to be honest. Why include a sappy love triangle-thing, when it's been done so many times to the point that it's been very repetitive. Theres only one reason in my mind that they would do this. This may include spoilers, so I'll space it out for y'all:
The only reason I think this would be is to set up a rivalry between Jaune and Neptune, because it seems like thats the only reason Neptune's been put on the show anyways. I personally think Neptune's really a bad guy, and his rivalry with Jaune will make him a definite heel turn, where he fights Jaune to the death, until Weiss intervenes, and save's Jaune's sorry ass. (If this doesn't happen, I will totally make a story about that...)
2. Less Character progression, MOAR FIGHTS- We need wayyyy more action than we've gotten. Look, I know that they're saving the best for last, but thats completely unnecessary that they've been holding off on a second major fight scene this long. It would be a safe and productive move! Look at SAO. It has a fight scene almost every episode! That's what made Sao Season 1 awesome, and Sao Season 2, not as good as the first season.
3. Better Plot- At this point in the story, only a few major plot points have been going on: Blake vs White Fang, Cinder & The Kids at Beacon, and Jaune's horrific love story. Thats. It. We haen't heard anything from that Iron-guy, nor Penny after the giant Robot fight. And for the love of everything sweet, if they leave Yang's missing mother arc the way it is as of now (incomplete), I will break 4 ½ legs.
Of course, I maybe overreacting. Oh well. Again, I hope you guys have a good rest of the school year!
