Now then without further ado, lets begin
It has been a few weeks since Blake told the rest of her team about Adam and since then they have respected her decision not to talk about it as her team returned to their regular activities in Beacon.
Blake was with her team and team JNPR in the schools cafeteria eating lunch and talking aimlessly with each other "I still say Beowulf can kick a Ursa's ass" Yang said talking to Nora about what Grimm can beat what
"Nuh Uh Ursa's are bi~g and strong they can take down that puny Beowulf" Nora replied cheerfully
"Oh for the love of, Blake help me out here" Yang said turning to her side to where Blake was sitting eating lunch and passively reading a book as usual
"Nope I'm staying out of it" Blake said not looking up from her book as she turned the page and took a bite of her tuna sandwich
Yang was about to say something along the lines of "traitor" but quickly stopped as well as the rest of the cafeteria as the loudspeakers turn on.
*Static* "Hello Students this Is headmaster Ozpin and I would like to inform you of our academy's yearly dance this years theme is a masked gala" Ozpin announced as he paused for students to converse with each other of the news
"A dance oo~ I can't wait" Ruby said squealing a bit as Weiss sighed at her leaders excitement
"Ruby it's just a dance it's nothing to get excited about" Weiss announced dully as she has been to many dances and parties with her family for political appearances which they usually end with her having to sing. . .or the occasional political assassination attempts against her family or some other business associate
"Ah you're just a party pooper" Yang said with annoyance while her smile told other wise
"I don't know, I don't really care for dances either. I mean I might as well not go" Juane said earning looks from his and Ruby's team except Ren as he just passively ate his lunch
"Why~ not" Nora said whined playfully as she tilted her head to look at him
"I just don't like dances that's all" Juane said as they continued to look at him except Ren as he paid no attention to what they're doing and continued to eat his lunch
"I have to agree with Juane dances and parties are not my thing as well, but seeing as you three. . . well you two would probably force me to go so I don't really have a say in it going or not" Blake said bluntly pointing at Ruby and Yang
"Why I would never do such a thing" Yang said with fake shock as she placed her hand over her chest while the other was behind her back as she crossed her fingers
"Then why are you crossing your fingers" Blake said once more bluntly as she already noticed what Yang was doing. Yang just laughed half heartily and put her hands the table
"Still Juane dances are a mystical time, the music, the people, being able to dance with the one you lo- I mean to be able to have a great time with your friends" Pyrrha said blushing a little as she gave out a forced chuckle as the others including Ren just thought
"You just want to be able to dance with Juane" as they all stared at her blankly
"Well either way I'm still not going It's my decision as a leader not to go so you can't make me" Juane said with a look saying I'm not backing down
Pyrrha was about to say something as the speakers started up again
"I would also like to announce that students who don't want to participate is by their own rights their decision"Juane let out a ha as his friends stared at him blankly before Ozpin continued "So that's why I'll have the professors go into your dorms, kick down your door, and force you into a suit or dress before dragging you to the dance as they force you to dance in the spotlight"
"That's not fair!" Jaune screamed out as his friends snickered at his displeasure
"Oh and for those who believe this is unfair, just to let you know that I am able to do this because it's in the academy's rule book. So don't blame me when you're on the dance floor making an idiot of yourself" everyone sweat dropped at Ozpin's threat as it was a little to cheerful for its dark undertone as Juane groaned knowing now he's forced to participate
"There there Juane it's not that bad, I betcha you'll look good in a tux" Ruby said sympathetic as she patted his shoulder as Ozpin on the speakers continued
"Also one more thing, the dance is set for this Saturday and because this is such a short notice for you as well for us to begin preparation for the dance. Students are allowed to leave school today and for the rest of the week to go into town to buy your suits or dresses as well as your masks for the dance. That is all for the announcement, thank you" *Static*
everyone just stared at the speakers then to each other for a second before everyone ran out of the cafeteria pushing and shoving to get to the lockers to change while some screaming out in joy of having no school for a week. As Team RWBY and JNPR went to change into they're regular attire and was about to reach the airship docks to take them down into the city the school wide speaker system turn back on again
*Static* "I would like to apologize it seems I made a mistake when I meant today I actually meant tomorrow. I apologize about that, so be sure to get to class before the bell rings and have a good day" *Static*
The two teams as well as many others just stared at each other and the speakers as they all sighed while Yang just twitched and unfolded Ember Celica "GOD DAMN YOU OZPIN YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Yang yelled out as she punched some random student into some others as she ran back with her team and changed back into their uniforms before making their way to class as they all mumbled curses at Ozpin
"Hey at least we have Oobleck today and not Miss Goodwitch" Blake stated earning some mumbled agreements as they got to Oobleck's class, as they entered classroom they all saw an unusual scene
Oobleck was lazily leaning back in his chair with his feet on his desk with a newspaper in one hands and his signature mug in his other. He took a sip of his coffee while flipping through the newspaper, not noticing his students sitting down as the last of the class came in and shut the door behind them.
Oobleck looked up to see what's going on "Huh. . . you. . actually came to class. . .well isn't that nice" Oobleck said smiling as his students stared at him confused "It brings joy to my heart to think that all you students love history so much that you're willing to stay in school than even going into town" Oobleck said with a honest smile as the class was looking at him more even more confused than before which he laughed at "What, did you really expect Ozpin to force you back into class after saying you could leave" Oobleck said as he sat back in his chair normally as he looked at his students
"B-B-But he said" Ruby stuttered clearly confused of the situation as Oobleck raised his hand to tell her to stop
"Tell me do you really believe that Ozpin would make such a simple mistake and call you back to class even after he told you to go. I mean, I known Ozpin for many years and he never makes a mistake. . .well there was that one time" Oobleck said as a smile grew on his face and laughed a bit as he spaced out remembering some distant day before snapping back into reality "Uh, enough of that and besides he does this every year for a good laugh" Oobleck said as he laughed at their surprise looks "What, didn't you notice most of your upper classmates didn't come back with you" Oobleck said still laughing as they realized he was right as most of them saw them continue to leave as they headed back to change.
Oobleck laughed some more at their expense as Yang was getting pissed off "WHO THE FUCK WOULD EVEN DO THAT, I'M GOING TO FUCKING MURDER HIM WHEN I GET THE NEXT CHANCE DAMMIT!" Yang screamed out as everyone started scooting away from Yang as her eyes turned red with her aura burning fiercely around her body
"Language now Mrs. Xiao Long I don't think planning to murder the headmaster is such a wise thing to say out loud" Oobleck stated calmly as he wasn't deterred at her violent aura as he calmly sipped his coffee. Yang calmed down along with her aura as she sat back down with a hmph "Now to why the headmaster would do this is. . . well truthfully I don't know why? I never really asked him about it" Oobleck said with a slight chuckle and a small shrug.
~Ozpin's Office~
"You know Miss Goodwitch no matter how many years go by I still say this is most devious thing you've ever come up with" Ozpin said with a quiet chuckle as he sat down at his coffee table in his large oval office that overlooked the academy as Miss Goodwitch sat across from him as she placed two champagne glasses on the table
"What must I say, I needed the break away from those children and where does it say I can't have some fun while torturing the student's who constantly annoy me so" Goodwitch said with a soft chuckle as a beautiful smile that only Ozpin ever seen appear on her face
"Still beautifully charming as ever Miss Goodwitch, champagne" Ozpin asked raising the bottle to pour her some more
"Do you need to even ask" Goodwitch said with a smile as they continued to drink to themselves for the remainder of the day.
~Back with Oobleck~
"So if we don't really have to stay can we-" Juane asked as Oobleck cut him
"Oh you can leave *RIIIING* if you actually left before the bell rang and the class actually started, but you didn't so for now let's start today's lesson" Oobleck said energetically as he bounced up from his chair took his mug gulped down the remainder of his coffee and sped off out of the room and quickly returned in a second with a full mug of coffee "All right now lets talk about the battle of Jukoma, (A/N: I'm Just Making Up Names now) Now this Battle started when-" Oobleck started explaining as Blake groaned as she already knew everything about this battle for it was one of the most embarrassing losses that her type of Fauna took part in.
The class listened to Oobleck as he sped through the room taking the occasional sip from his mug as he explained the strategic value of this battle. . .Well tried to listen as most of the class was either trying to stay awake, ignored him or actually fell asleep with the exception of Weiss who was taking notes of everything he said
"Now does anyone know why the Faunas lost this battle so easily" Oobleck asked as he sped through the room until he stopped at Blake "How about you Mrs. Belladonna would you like to answer" Oobleck said with a soft smile as Blake groaned
"The reason they lost was because they were cat faunas" Blake said getting the attention of her teammates as they knew she was a cat faunas
"And~" Oobleck said motioning for her to continue
"And~, because they were hiding out in shrubs near the path to the town, which they didn't know it was catnip instead of regular bushes" Blake groaned as she noticed Yang was smiling at her deviously getting some ideas which Blake then glared at her and motioned under her desk *Snip Snip* which cause Yang to stop and look away.
"That's correct Mrs. Belladonna While cat faunas are one of the most agile, stealthy, cunning and the most ruthless hit and run tacticians of the faunus kind they can be turned into well~" Oobleck said laughing a bit under his breath before continuing "Kittens, as the catnip dulled all of their senses to the point they only felt pure bliss as they rolled around in the catnip, which left the attacking forces to literally walk over them and through their defenses. They quickly took over their base without much of a fight because of that" Oobleck as he continued to zip across his room taking sips of his coffee between each movement
As Oobleck was about to continue the bell rang "*RIIIING* Well that's enough time for today I'll continue this next week and I'll see you at the dance" Oobleck said before turning to face Juane "That means you Mr. Arc" Oobleck stated as Juane groaned before Oobleck sped off to dust knows where
As Blake quickly got her stuff and went out of the class knowing Yang wanted to say something went to lockers to change which she soon notice that Yang was standing behind her and sighed knowing of what is to come "So~ catnip" Yang said grinning as Blake groaned in response "So is it true that catnip gives you pure bliss" Yang said suggestively
Blake could see the wheels in her mind turning to see what she could do to the cat faunas "Yes its true" Blake said admittedly as the grin on Yang's face grew wider
"Hey guys while were in town you don't mind if we stop by somewhere to buy-" Yang stopped talking as she saw Blake point Gambol Shroud in its gun form at her threateningly
"If you even try I. WILL. HURT. YOU" Blake said glaring daggers at the blonde as she pointed the gun closer to Yang's face as she started backing away from her
"Um. . guys could you stop, lets just go and have some fun okay. We have the rest of the week to enjoy ourselves until the dance" Ruby said trying to lighten the mood between the two. Blake let out a dry huff and put away Gambol Shroud on her belt and finished changing with the rest of her team. They soon left Beacon and towards the airships to take them down into Vale.
As soon as the airship took them down to Vale Ruby jumped in front of her teammates "Alright first things first lets go get our dresses oh~ I can't wait for the Dance" Ruby said gleefully as the others just stared at her
"Well I do know a good place to buy some good quality dresses" Weiss said as their group wandered through the street
"Yeah by quality she means expensive as hell" Yang muttered quietly to Ruby and Blake as Weiss heard her
"They are not expensive they are at very moderate prices" Weiss said with a huff while Blake just looked at her
"To you maybe, with all that money you have" Blake said bluntly
"Weren't you paid to kill people for tons of cash" Weiss said bluntly glaring at Blake who just brushed it off
"Actually we never kept the money we gained. We only kept what we needed and then gave the rest to charity or to orphanages for faunus in the town we were currently in so they could have something to eat" Blake said as smiled at the memory of the little faunas at her and Adam's heels when they come by to give them food.
"Awe~" Ruby just said as the sweet thought of Blake helping orphans
"So you only kept what you needed for food and water and gave rest to charity nothing for yourself" Yang said knowing no one was that generous
"Well we did keep some at one point but that was only to buy the materials to make Gambol Shroud" Blake said gesturing to her side
"What about Adam" Yang said as she noticed Blake stiffened at the question
"He. . He found his weapon" Blake said looking away from her team
"Found. . you mean stole don't you" Weiss said with a huff as Yang and Ruby backed away knowing it's going to be another "Faunas are criminals blah blah" argument but didn't happen
Blake just sighed "No he. . . found it. . . off. . the body of the guy he killed" Blake said nervously as the answer made her team stop walking and looked at her
"I-I see, so um what type of Weapon is it" Yang said trying to change the direction of the conversation as they continued walking again
"It's a RifleJato class weapon which he calls it Wilt and Blush" Blake said giving a thankful look to Yang as Ruby started squealing in delight
"OO~ I heard of those their just a beautiful combination gun and blade" Ruby said as her eyes started sparkling of hearing about a weapon "What type what type" Ruby said excitedly
"Well it used to be a long range weapon type but Adam said long range was for the weak. So he had it remade to be a shotgun so he could be used more in a close range environment" Blake said as she giggled at Ruby as she looked so excited to learn more of the weapon
"And the Blade" Ruby said with glee as Blake giggled at Ruby's giddiness
"Well for the blade it was a normal ninjato blade which he felt was somewhat boring so he modified it so it could absorb and use aura. When he first picked it up after he had had it modified the blade turned blood red to match his aura" Blake said as she noticed that Weiss and Yang was a couple of feet behind them acting like they didn't know them as she guessed they were embarrassed about their leaders passion for weapons in public.
"Were here" Weiss said as the others noticed they were walking up to a elegant looking dress shop
"Still say it going to be expensive as hell" Yang muttered earning a sigh from Weiss
"Fine if it's too much I'll help pay for it" Weiss said as Ruby turned around and gave Weiss a hug
"You're the greatest friend ever" Ruby said gleefully as she continued to hug Weiss a little too strongly for the heiress tastes
"Yes that's great. . now mind letting me go. . you're. . crushing. . me" Weiss said turning a little blue before Ruby let go as she chuckled weakly as Weiss took a deep breath before they all went in the store as they went through all the dresses as they all found one.
Ruby found a dark red long flowing dress that matches her hair with matching evening gloves and choker with her burning rose on it
Weiss found a simple elegant white frilled dress that seemed to fade into blue the further down you look which was the same with her evening gloves. She then had the stewardess sew her family symbol on the back of her gloves before purchasing them
Blake found an elegant black dress that fades into a beautiful purple the further you look down as well as her evening gloves the dress's back is exposed and on her neck black choker with a silver amulet of her symbol on it
Yang found a golden orange strapless dress that clung to her curves with a split in its side that exposed her leg with matching evening gloves. (A/N: I suck at describing dresses)
After they all paid for their dress. . Well Weiss paid for them as they left the store "Alright now we still need to buy our masks so. . . does anyone actually know where to buy some" Weiss asked stopping to look back at the others
"Nope" they all said simultaneously which cause Weiss groaned in response
"Come on there is has to be a mask kiosk around here somewhere" Weiss said as they went to look for a kiosk which they eventually found as they browsed through the variety of masks.
Ruby found a butterfly style mask with black highlights and red markings.
Weiss found a simple white renaissance mask with blue outlines and some gems surrounding the eyes.
Yang found the same but orange with golden outlines
Blake was the only one left still looking through the masks as she couldn't find one she likes as she glared at Yang who suggested the cat mask "Come on Blake were waiting for you just pick a black one like you and lets get going" Yang said earning a glare from Blake
The raven haired girl continued to look through all of the masks till she found one "It can't be" Blake said softly as she stared at the exact same mask Adam wore, right down to the exact eye slits design. The only difference was the mask was pure black to the white one Adam wore as it had purple markings to his red ones "This one please" Blake said handing it to the cashier as he made the purchase
"A black mask how surprising" Yang said sarcastically taking a good look at Blake's mask before being elbowed by her
"Shut up, I like black what's wrong with that" Blake said with a huff annoyance as she took her bag as they left the kiosk
"Alright now we can do whatever we want let go have some fun" Yang said cheerfully looking at the others
"Sorry I need to go check on my shipment of dust that's supposed to arrive today" Weiss said as she left without giving Yang time to retort
"I'm just going to go back to our dorm" Blake said turning and started walking
"Yeah betcha you just want to be alone to read that book of yours" Yang replied grinning a bit as Blake stiffen and turned her head to glare at Yang
"What book?" Ruby said innocently as the two stiffened forgetting that Ruby was with them as she look back and forth between the two of them
"I-It's nothing Ruby" Yang said eyeing Blake to say something as she just stayed quiet
"Really because I already read most of your books so which one" Ruby said looking at them innocently
"I-It's not one of those books Ruby" Blake said cautiously as she was deciding whether or not to leave
"Oh! you must mean the book you hid in the back of the bookshelf" Ruby said sweetly as Blake and Yang choked a bit
"Y-You what?" Blake stuttered as she eyed her leader incredulously
"Um~ I kinda forgot the name to it, let see what was it, something of Love I think" Ruby said as she scratched her chin trying to remember the name
"Y-You mean N-Ninja's of Love" Blake said as she felt this day couldn't get worse
"That's it I remember now it was such a good book I really love the ending when Ryou-" Ruby started as Blake cut her off
"YOU READ THE ENTIRE THING!" Blake screamed out getting the attention of some passerby's as she then remembered that they were down in Vale and not in their room at Beacon. Blake composed herself as best she could she took them away from the scene she created to a secluded park with little to no people "Tell me how exactly, how did you find the book" Blake asked as calmly as she wanted to yell at her leader out of embarrassment
"Well~ remember that time I tried to cook you guys dinner" Ruby said a little embarrassed as Yang laughed at the memory
"Oh yeah I remember that. I still can't believe you got food on the ceiling as well on the windowsill, on the outside of the room to be exact. How did you even do that" Yang asked while laughing at Ruby as they all remembered the scene clearly. They walked in on Ruby who was wearing an apron over her outfit as the room they shared had food all over it as every spot of the room was covered in food. Yet when they looked at Ruby she was clean as can be
"Could you stop laughing" Ruby said with her head hung low and continued as Yang finally calmed down "So basically you remember how Weiss got really mad at me and made me clean it all up by myself and she took you guys out to eat" Ruby said as she sighed remembering how Weiss yelled at her harshly
"Still some of the best food I ever ate" Yang said mouth watering as Blake gave slight nod of agreement
"Shut up- So basically I cleaned the entire room including your bookshelf which even I don't know how food got in there" Ruby said as she took a moment to wonder how that happened "Anyway, So basically I took out all of your books to clean them off and I noticed one in the back so I pick it up and read it and I really loved it" Ruby said causing the two to sweat drop at her cheerfulness
"W-Wait you read the entire thing d-does that mean you read the" Blake questioned nervously as Ruby just nodded
"Yep" Ruby said simply a little to cheery for their taste
"But you don't think it's wrong that I own something like that" Blake asked bashfully scratching the back of her neck and looked away as Ruby just laughed
"Your forgetting that I'm her sister" Ruby said with a grin pointing at Yang
"What's that supposed to mean" Yang said a little offended as she put her hands on her hips.
Ruby stared at Yang blankly "Yang do you remember those days I said I had a nightmare and stayed in mom and dads room" Ruby asked continuously staring at Yang
"Um yea you would either stay with them or me during those nights why" Yang said not getting where she is taking this
"Tell me what exactly were you doing for some of those nights I decided to go with mom and dad" Ruby said with a straight face as Yang took a moment to think before her became flustered
"Oh. . . That" Yang said bashfully while looking as she let out a half hearted chuckle
"What I'm more amazed about is that our parents didn't hear you at all" Ruby said with sigh as she shook her head as Yang looked away with a faint blush on her cheeks
"You know what I don't care anymore, I don't want to be part of this conversation anymore I'll see you guys back in our dorm" Blake said with huff as she just walked away leaving the two alone.
~Ruby and Yang~
The two sisters watch as Blake left back to Beacon leaving Yang in an awkward position "So um, what do you want to do" Yang asked nervously as she didn't know how to face her sister who knew about those things she done
"Oo oo I heard there's a new ice cream shop that opened up recently that sells really good ice cream" Ruby said excitedly as Yang sweat dropped at how fast Ruby didn't care of the conversation anymore
"Um. . okay lets go" Yang said following Ruby to the Ice cream shop where they bought themselves some ice cream cones. . well Yang bought a cone as Ruby bought herself a large hot fudge sundae which she asked to add cookie bits in, they sat down at nearby bench and ate their ice cream in peace. . well Yang did while Ruby moaned in pleasure with each bite attracting some attention from people passing by which Yang glared fiercely at to make them look away.
Yang finished her cone and looked at Ruby noting that it will be a while before she finishes her sundae as she always savors eating sweets. . .except cookies as she devours those in seconds, Yang leaned back against the bench as she listened in to conversations around her. It was a trait she gained in life when she had to listen in on others for blackmail material she paused as she heard three police officers talking about something about an attack against some gang.
(A/N: Just so you know I'm just going to call the police officers as PO.1-3 as it's much easier to write)
"So what happened" PO.1 asked
"Well it seems some guy came into their turf and they decided to try and mess around with the guy" PO.2 explained
"And" PO.3 said gesturing for the other police officer to continue
"Well this guy took them out in less than a minute without even breaking a sweat" PO.2 said as PO.1 whistled
"Damn that's impressive and where's the guy that did it" PO.1 asked
"We don't know where he is but the thug that just woke up in the hospital and he said it was the Red Death" PO.2 said seriously
"Whoa whoa can't be, the Red Death doesn't leave people unconscious bodies only bloody corpses" PO.3 said incredulously
"That's what I thought but the guy gave a clear description of the man that matches his profile. Wears a suit with eastern style designs on the left chest and the coattail, a red wilted rose printed on his back, carries a RifleJato and wears a bone white mask with red outlines on it" PO.2 said describing the man in great detail
"Damn if he is here then something is about to happen" PO.1 said worriedly
"Well, I'm glad I'm going on vacation out of this town soon" PO.3 said jokingly earning a "Shut up" from the other two
Yang stopped listening in as she thought of what she heard 'I should probably not tell any of this to the others especially Blake as she probably run off to look for him' Yang thought as she continued to think on it. She then was snapped out of her thoughts when she noticed Ruby was snapping her fingers in her face. Yang looked up to see Ruby standing in front of her
"You okay you didn't answer me for a while" Ruby said worriedly
"It's nothing just thinking what I should do if you ever get fat from all those sweets you eat. Probably roll you down a hill for fun" Yang said lying to her sister while making a joke as Ruby stomped her feet in protest before she shoved her playfully
"I am not going to get fat" Ruby said puffing her cheeks and scowled at her
"That's what you keep saying" Yang said playfully as she got another shove from Ruby
"Alright, Alright come on lets take our dresses back it's getting late" Yang said standing up as she stretched a bit as she took her bag and Ruby hers as they walk back to the air docks.
As they were heading back and talking aimlessly to each other Yang noticed someone pass by her. It was a man in a suit and a bone white mask who was carrying a weapon which she guess is a RifleJato "Hey Ruby you go on ahead I'll catch up you with in a bit" Yang said as Ruby just shrugged and continued walking
Yang quickly jogged up to the man and started shadowing him, after a few seconds of following the man before he stopped and turned around to face her and stared at her with that emotionless mask of his as Yang just smiled at him which caused him from what Yang could tell raise his eyebrow at her "So~. . . Red Death" Yang said bluntly breaking the tension as the man tighten his grip on his weapon preparing to fight in public "Hey now no need to get violent" Yang said as she raised her hands in peace "Especially since I'm a dear friend of a kitty faunas of yours" Yang said still smiling innocently as the man twitched
"What" is all the man said as Yang chuckled at his reaction
"You know Blake talked a lot about you. . .Adam"
