{Author Notes.}
Sorry this took so long, I've been trying to get this story line to work properly. And I decided to re write a lot of things over and over before I was satisfied/combined with Writer's block/ I had to re scrap some ideas I had for fun, and take a slightly different route.
Side note: I have reached a Fanfiction Mile stone! I have written over 1 Million words on this account! Whoooooooo… what am I doing?
Wow I take a lot of crossover elements a lot. I blame this franchise, some of my favorite stories here have more than several shameless crossovers or cameos of other people from different franchisees in their story. In this one they won't necessarily drive the plot there are more than just cameos and places to fit in characters for character gaps and action sequences, besides one they won't have much of an effect over the over arching story plot. I promise. I can't go too wild doing what I want with this story. (But it does inspire some ideas for different crossovers.)
One last warning: I based off the jokes (They are not even that good I think) on those who are slightly familiar with the series.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity
If it's all right, then you're all wrong
Why dance around to the same down song
You'd rather run when you can't crawl
I know you know that I'm not telling the truth
I know you know they just don't have any proof
Embrace the deception, learn how to bend
Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end
I know, you know
I know, you know
(20-30 Years in the future of Jared Shcnee Arc….)
"Mwahahaha!"
"Hahaha… Xia I'm tired."
"You can't give up J! Today, we are going to ride the dolphins! It's part of my brilliant plan!" The young seven year old girl Xia Ren cried out as they made their way as sneaky as seven year old children carrying snorkeling gear could be towards an Aquarium.
"You sure your dad or my dad won't catch us in the act like all the other seven times?" The young Jared Arc asked as they walked closer to the entrance.
"Don't worry! I got moma covering for us!" The girl smiled as the two passed by a strange and shapely janitor that looked innocent enough.
Suddenly the Janitor with a nice looking mustache bared the entrance to the two second graders. "Sorry sweetie, but moma's putting her foot and mop down."
"Wow mister, you look a lot like my mom! And sound like her too!" Xia pointed to the feminine looking Janitor who was twirling her moustache.
The Janitor tore off her clothes in a dramatic fashion, but not her fake moustache, revealing Nora Valkyrie (Ren). "That's because I am your Moma!"
"No you're not! You have a moustache!" Jared pointed.
"Actually yes, she is your Aunt."
"Dad!?" Xia screamed as her papa appeared nearby his wife and took off her moustache.
His wife seemed taken aback by the sudden action. "No my facial hair! I named it Frapichino!" The aunt of the boy cried out.
"Mom is here too!?" Xia pointed to her mother in utter child shock.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Ren family looked at the two kids. "Xia, what have we told you about trying to ride dolphins?"
"Moma's plans had too many flaws and was the work of an amateur?" The pink eyed girl asked innocently.
"That should not be an answer." The father of Xia corrected.
"Unacceptable! … I will not stand here and let my daughter call me an amateur! Sloth, where is the dolphin habitat?" The aunt looked towards the aquarium before her spouse grabbed her by the arm.
"The point is," Being the only sensible person here was a trying task he was all too used to. "You can't ride the dolphins."
"Aww, but how did you know we'd be here?" Jared asked.
At this moment, Jared's father walked in. "Well besides Xia's Mom ratting you two out, Jared, you asked Sebastion to pack your snorkels and tell you what dolphins like to eat. … Before somehow ordering raw fish all the way from Mistrial and putting it in my tab."
"Your Pin is 1-2-3-4." The young boy smiled to his father as if there was some question in there that needed to be answered.
Xia's dad looked over to Jared's father. "That is a horrible Pin number. Why did the Bank let you do that?"
The blonde and blue eyed man coughed and looked back to his son. "Your mother is going to have a word about this to you." Jaune scolded.
Xia looked at the aquarium before back to her parent. She then pointed inside. "… So can we go in the aquarium?"
The three adults looked at each other.
"Don't you have some work to do in the Schnee Company with your wife?" Xia's dad asked.
"Actually not today. And it has been a while since I went to the aquarium."
"I wanna see the beavers!" Jared screamed.
The two men sighed at how happy the kids looked despite being told no to their harebrained scheme. They didn't seem bothered at all now that they were there.
"Alright fine. We'll bring you two into the aquarium, but no riding the Dolphins, ok?" Jared's dad strictly told the two and they nodded.
"Why don't you fathers go buy the tickets, and I'll watch the kids?" Xia's Aunt motioned the two men away as she was left alone with the kids.
When both men were out of earshot… Xia's Mother ripped off her clothes again to reveal she was wearing a diving wet suit underneath the Janitor Costume.
"Wow Auntie! Your plan worked! We did get to go to the aquarium!" Young Jared sounded very impressed.
"Not yet, miniature fearless leader! This is only phase one! Phase two commences soon! Those Killer whales won't know what hit them!"
"I love you, Moma." Her daughter spoke out star struck.
Later that day Xia's family was banned from all Aquariums. (Which was lifted later on by a certain politician and female CEO.)
(Present: Past Timeline)
"~Oh Wander! ~Over Yonder! ~ And check out this and that!" Resh sang a song as he expertly played a banjo while wearing a green hat with a star on it. "~If you wander, over yonder! ~Best be sure to wear your hat!"
"Will you please stop? It's too early for this," Complained Jaune as he Blake, Sky, and Resh were herding cattle around on horseback during something like 5:00 AM in the morning. Needless to say, they were all not off on a great start sans Resh himself. Jaune was actually starting to have bags under his eyes from the accumulated times of lack of sleep. "Where did you even get that hat!? Or that banjo—heck how are you playing the banjo so well!?"
Sky gasped and pointed towards the still singing boy. "The Council got to him already! They brainwashed him into a singing hillbilly! We're all next! FLEE! You'll never take my brain fluids, you floating triangles!" Sky unfortunately started panicking and scaring the other cattle around him until he was oh so abruptly knocked out cold by something unseen. The conspiracy buff then fell face first into his horse which seemed to lazily move on despite her rider being out cold.
"Sorry 'bout that." Resh stopped playing the banjo for a second as he fixed his hat, signaling he used his oh so helpful semblance. "Poor fella might dog gone scare the herd into such mess, so I had to put 'em down for a snooze."
"Oh Monty, you're still doing that cowboy impression!?" Jaune looked at the boy in surprise. A very small part of his brain was impressed at his dedication.
"Naw, now you're just feelin' green (Jealous) cause I can play a mean tune on this here majestic piece of music while ya can't even play a guitar," Resh spoke out before re tuning the Banjo. "Now where the darn tootin' was I? Ah! ~All the things that you will see. ~And you'll certainly be free! If you wander over yonder— just you and me!"
Jaune wanted to argue, he knew the red eyed boy was doing this just to screw with him, but he had to depressingly admit the song was kinda catchy. Both Blake and Jaune realized this was going to be a long semester final, so they wondered how the others were doing.
"There is no way you're legit." Russel pointed to the man with great hair.
"I assure you I am as real as your fancy mohawk, discount and white Mr. T" Shawn Spencer, a self proclaimed psychic detective spoke as he typed furiously on his laptop. "Now if you will excuse me, I'm trying to get a mountain Ram as our office mascot. It's like a guard dog, only hairier…"
For the students from Beacon, sans Nora, this was a very strange experience for them. The man who should be around twice their age was acting very immature and almost childlike, yet supposedly he was the one they were supposed to be working under for their semester finals.
"Do you have a psychic semblance?" Weiss asked of the man as she folded her arms strictly.
"No, nor do I need the powers of Aura since I was so naturally gifted." The man continued typing until he took out an opened up coconut with a funny little umbrella and drank from it, causing an obnoxious sucking sound to echo out while still typing.
"Wait, you aren't using a semblance?" Dove asked in shock.
Shawn gave a sympathetic and nostalgic look towards them. "I'm sorry it ran away from home when I was a kid." He tenderly placed a finger near his eye to wipe away a pretend tear.
"Wait a sec, Semblances don't run away from hom—"
"That is the saddest thing I've ever heard!" Nora cried out with real tears in her eyes. "I wouldn't know what to do if my Semblance ran away from home! Can that happen Weiss!?"
"W-Why are you asking me!?" The white themed girl exclaimed before shaking her head and pointing back to Shawn. "Look! This isn't a real job in society! Why were we sent here!?"
"Uh yes it was. Beacon had this open registration for a little community service and I signed up. I think I also won a new IScroll, but that may have been a pop-up…" He looked away in thought for a second. "Welp, either way Beacon verified my request and I could have interns in this lovely work place of Psych, Psychic Detective Agency. So you guys can do what I say or else you fail your semester finals…"
Weiss was fuming. She had to listen to this… freeloader for the sake of her grade!?
The sound of the door opening from the main entrance caused most of the sane students from Beacon to turn their heads.
A very dark skinned man with a bald styled head wearing a long pink polo and khaki pants walked in briskly. "Shawn! Why is it that when I need to call you the most, you're phone is dead or you just refuse to answer—why are there a bunch of college students in our office?" He started off before meeting eyes with the students.
"Everyone, meet my PSYCHkick: Hawk, the Boy Wonder, also known as Gustio Grayson." Shawn got up from his seat with great celerity and slung his arm around the lanky before introducing his friend quickly.
"Hi Hawk!" Nora waved happily.
Hawk pushed his friend away and looked back to them with a formal smile. "Excuse him. My real name is Burton Guster, Shawn's best friend and a pharmaceutical salesman. But everyone calls me Gus for short."
"Finally someone sane!" Weiss screamed.
"Fine then, no more pineapples for you." Shawn pouted immaturely.
As for Gus, he kindly introduced himself before looking back to his friend. "Shawn, may I have a word with you in private?"
It actually wasn't a question as Gus just grabbed Shawn and dragged him to their waiting room.
"Shawn, what are four college students doing in my office? And why was the orange haired girl eating my special blended tapioca!?" The two of them looked at the window were Nora was eating some kind of special bowl.
"It didn't seem very hospitable to let them wait, so I let her raid our fridge, not my fault you keep all the good stuff in there." Shawn calmly answered.
"I was saving that for a rainy day this week! Man, I was looking forward to that, but seriously who are these four, and do you even remember the last time you brought college people in here? I just paid for our refurnished roof!"
The brown haired calmly pat his friend on the shoulder. "Look dude, they're not college students, their Hunters in training."
The taller friend's eyes widened as he looked back at the four before back to his friend with a serious look. "Are you telling me we've got potentially four super-powered beings crammed into our tiny and very expensive room which still has our lease?! Why are they even there!?"
Shawn tried to soothe his good looking friend. "I saw that Beacon was looking for jobs that needed helping hands, so I thought: Hey, I have a job, and I want an intern. Then boom. The head master of Beacon approved my application and we got sent four interns!"
"The head Master of Beacon… Professor Ozpin… one of the greatest Hunters of or time… approved your application?" Gus spoke with very sharp doubt.
"I put a lot of smile and wink faces and emotes!" Shawn poorly defended.
"There's no way that could have happened!"
[Previously]
"Hmm… Psychic Detective interns? … 'Plz give me. –Shawn Spencer. P.S. I like your hair.'" Ozpin read aloud the application on his main computer while screening all the applications for the semester final. He took a sip of his coffee while looking hard at the picture of a man with surprisingly good hair. "I should probably deny this request. … Or it could turn into some kind of potential life lesson for those who get sent…"
Ozpin carefully and thoughtfully weighed his options.
"Approved."
[Back in the present]
"There is no way Professor Ozpin would approve such a childish and half hearted application!" Weiss was obviously oblivious to that of Jaune (and potentially Jared's) fake transcripts. She had just entered into the conversation after Gus denied that could have happened and concurred with him.
"Oh don't be so cold, you know, you guys can go and help this job out by going to my dad's house and painting it for me since I promised him yesterday." Shwan spoke out.
"You promised him last month Shawn—look that's not the point. Police Chief called. She has a case for us." Gus corrected quickly before trying to bring thing back to the topic at hand.
"Wait, you guys actually get cases?" Russel asked from the door.
Shawn looked hurt at such an accusation of his work ethic. "Of course, why wouldn't I? This is a very serious study for the most sophisticated and complex people."
"Shawn, you tried to use the money from our last case to order a Dance Dance Revelations arcade game in our lobby room." Gus corrected.
"It pumps up the blood and it's good for the soul. Come on, I know you're one of the best players on that game!" The man explained to which his best friend did not deny.
Then Gus grabbed his coat from a nearby rack. "Let's just go to the Police station."
Nora threw away the finished bowl into the sink before looking even more excited than she was a few seconds ago. "Wow we actually get to see a psychic detective in action! This is so exciting!" Nora called out. The other Beacon students were actually curious if this Shawn Spencer truly was what he said he was.
"Are they really coming along?" Gus asked Shawn.
"It'll be a good chance to prove the nonbelievers wrong. I call shot gun!" Shawn shouted as he ran towards the front exit.
Gus yelled after his friend. "It's in the back, Shawn!"
[Elsewhere]
"… And that is how the process of delivery goes. It's fairly simple, but the details are important, so do you to get it?"
"Yep."
"Yes Mr. Joice."
Mr. Joice gave a small pack of keys to Pyrrha. "Good now it shouldn't be too hard for either of you to drive, considering someone from the Council thought it would be a good idea to lower the driving age to seventeen. But just watch the GPS and pay attention to the addresses and you should be fine. One last thing: our slogan is 'We Deliver Anything!' so be sure to say that to people who meet up with you and smile." He finished before leaving the two.
"I can't believe he's letting us do this." Pyrrha spoke out as she and Yang made their way towards the van in post master uniform. "I don't think we're ready to take on this on our second day."
"Oh please, you heard the guy he just said we had to deliver mail and packages. It shouldn't be too hard. And we just go around town, place the mail and everyone's happy." Yang spoke out as she tapped the side of the truck they were going to drive.
"BAAA."
Pyrrha pointed at the truck they were supposed to be driving. "Did… did you hear that?" She could have sworn she heard something… muffled in there. Something alive?
"Hear what?" Yang asked innocently.
The champion of Mistrial blinked her eyes several times. "I thought I heard a mountain ra-never mind. I think we should move on right away." Pyrrha spoke before heading towards the driver's seat.
"Hey! Why do you get to drive?"
"Because Yang, I've seen you on your bike. We're doing a job for our grades, not showing off." Pyrrha told her before making her way towards the driver's seat.
"Her name is Bumblebee and I prefer that you show her the respect she deserves." Yang muttered back before taking shotgun.
The duo thought this would be a fairly easy task as they started to leave the post office.
[…]
"Welcome to the VPD. The Vale Police department!" Shawn spoke out in a showy manner before walking towards what looked to be the Police office.
"I know what this place is! Ren and I have totally been here before!" Nora cried out before noticing a very tall yet young looking officer. "HEY BUZZ!"
A tall man with brown hair and brown hair wearing a normal police uniform stopped carrying a heavy load of boxes and smiled back at the waving girl. "Oh hi Nora! Where's Ren?"
"Mcnab! I need those files!"
The man almost dropped the boxes, but he quickly stabled himself and smiled. "Oh coming! See you later Nora!"
Weiss stared hard as Nora waved goodbye happily to the officer. "I like him. He has a cat." The orange haired girl said to Weiss.
"Is it me or is it not surprising at all that Nora knows people here?" Dove whispered to Weiss.
"Concurred." Weiss answered back silently.
"Oh I guess you have been here before." Shawn noted as he looked at the girl. "Oh now I remember! You were the person during the Hamster Disaster!" He snapped his fingers.
"Shawn that's not what it's called." Gus motioned them to follow him. "Now come on, Chief Vick is probably- wait. Where's the mohawk kid?" The dark skinned man looked around for the missing intern Shawn acquired for a few days.
At this moment, Russel came running after the other five people, gasping so hard for breath.
Gus seemed shock at the guy. "Whoa. Are you alright, do you need a Mentos or something?"
"You… you punks… why did you leave me!?" The Mohawk hunter turned over to Dove with an impressive glare despite being hunched over and gasping hard for breath.
Everyone looked towards the brown themed boy in the room who shrugged his shoulders. "What? Only three could fit in the back. Besides we're Hunters in training, I'm sure a ten mile run is nothing to us with Aura."
"How did I not even notice that?" Weiss asked. Perhaps she was too distracted by Nora to truly notice.
"I will… kill you…" Russel fell into his knees.
"Yeesh. It's a good thing we don't have that kind of relationship, right Gus?" Shawn slapped the back of his friend before the salesman gave a deadpan glare. "OK everyone to Chief Vick; Mohawk you come in when you're good and ready." The man gave a thumbs up to the guy as he fell down on the floor, in utter exhaustion.
Russel took his scroll out and noticed for some reason his Aura was in the red. "What the heck is with my aura today?"
As Shawn and Gus opened the door, they were met by a strong middle aged woman sitting behind the desk talking to two other people, a taller man with blue eyes and dark hair and a younger woman with blonde hair. Neither of them were wearing police uniforms, so it they had to be detectives of the department.
"Ahh Mr. Spencer," The older female addressed the man at his early thirties. "We… who are they?" The Chief looked towards the three hunters in training.
The tall mall of the group looked his sights with Nora and his eyes widened. "Oh no! Not you again! This time you're going to Jail, hippie brat!"
"Bring it on you walking 3-D stick figure!" Nora put her fists out and started circling them before Dove and Weiss pushed her back.
The taller detective seemed to get peeved at that comment before trying to reach for his gun, until the blonde partner tried to calm him down as well. "Lassieter, calm down!" She soothed the older detective despite the older man giving Nora the stink eye.
It was at this moment the police chief cleared her throat and brought all the attention back to her… professionally restrained face.
"Mr. Spencer. … What is this all about?" The pause between the two sentences was very loud and quite noticeable.
"Oh uh these are my own little elves I got from Santa." Gus elbowed his best friend in his shoulder while getting glaring looks from Weiss and Dove. "So uh, Chief what's today's amazing case?"
Chief Karen Vick, thankfully very very used to Shawn Spencer's antics, went straight to the point. "Alright, I don't have time for this. Listen Mr. Spencer, the Vytal Festival is coming soon and Roman Torchwick has been on a crime spree looting dust shops. We're stretched thin and undermanned, but recently we received word there was another robbery. This time it was from Merlot Enterprise."
Gus raised his brow and spoke out. "Merlot Enterprise? Didn't they file for bankruptcy and close down some years back?"
"It's actually Merlot Industry. Merlot Enterprise was a small surviving branch of the once huge industrial enterprise. Recently we got word that one of their labs was broken into." The blonde detective woman answered.
"Thank you detective Juliet Ohara," Chief Vick explained. "But that's not all, they've done inventory and filed that nothing was stolen."
"Is that so?" Shawn and Gus looked at each other.
"Wait nothing was stolen?" Gus asked again for confirmation.
Chief Vick sighed. "Either that or they can't find what was stolen. Unfortunately I can't spare anyone else on this, so you two will have to go and check it out yourself."
"No problem chief we'll solve this case before noon!" Shawn clicked his tongue and gave a cute wink.
"It's 2:00 P.M. Shawn." Gus spoke out.
"Which gives about 22 hours to finish the case, duh." The self proclaimed Psychic explained to his best friend before pointing his fingers like guns to the Chief and giving her a composed smile. "We'll see you soon Chief."
[…]
People wear masks, it just one of the many facts in life. We put up a polite front in meeting new people, in being with our co workers, bosses, and teachers, but let down our masks in front of our friends and family at times. The masks we wear help us construct our part in society…
Even the large plastic and rubber masks you wear in a cartoon costume.
"I. Hate. Everything."
"Come on, Clumsy The Dog. Keep a stiff up a lip." Ren, dressed as a chef patted the large headed cartoon dog mascot in the back for support. He was helping out with a dressing rehearsal and was currently on break with Cardin.
The taller boy removed the stupid dog head, and grunted. "I really do hate Ruby for this. … Where is she again?"
"If I recall, she busy playing as one of the superheroes in Detective Marvel Land. I think she's dressed as one of the super heroes."
"Of course she would be enjoying herself." Cardin scoffed.
Ren looked slightly troubled though and placed a hand on his chin. "I don't know though. Last time I heard from her, she was really into her character…"
The large awkward dog head with a silly tongue turned towards the chef boy. "What do you mean by that?"
"It was audio only, but I swore I thought I heard her falling off a building."
The mask of the cartoon dog looked impassive despite its googly eyes moving around. "I was about to ask why that was so specific. Nora?"
"Nora."
Behind the carton mask, the bulky teen titled his very large head and thought contemplatively. "Huh, I'm starting to see why Kolc always keeps up a sarcastic front now."
[…]
The Beacon students and the two Detectives made their way to the crime scene of Merlot Industries, a small group of officers were there and their group made their way towards the building.
There was a man with orange swept back hair and wearing a lab coat talking to a male officer with a note pad who was writing down everything he said.
As soon as the group entered, Weiss slightly paused and stared with wide eyes at the man.
However, a certain detective duo went up to the man straight away.
"Umm hello can I help you?" The man asked as Shawn and Gus stepped closer towards him.
"Yes, are there any lab coats that aren't white? I was thinking of going as an evil Doctor Doofenshmirtz for next Halloween, but I also wondered why all lab coats were white. You wouldn't usually put the color white for an evil guy."
Gus immediately translated. "What my partner is trying to say is that we are with the police department and they sent us here to help with the break in."
"Oh. Thank you. Let me introduce myself: I am Peter Kordu. I'm one of the leading research scientists here in Merlot Industry." The man politely spoke out. "Let me lead you to…" His sight then fell on Weiss and he paused for a second. "Umm… let's go inside. I am here to tell you about the triggered alarm."
As Peter walked in, they all noticed that Merlot Industries was a rather small but nice looking office.
"So what exactly was stolen?" Shawn spoke out as he looked around the area.
"Nothing was actually stolen, but what's weird is that our cameras don't detect anyone during the whole fiasco despite the silent alarms showing that there was someone who entered in. Let me show you to our Camera room."
A little later on, the Psych Company was all crowded in a rather small video room.
"Sorry. There's usually a maximum of four people in here." Peter pushed several buttons before showing the footage. He went on explaining that around 2 AM to 2:30 AM, when no one was in the building, someone tripped the silent alarm, but the videos showed that there was no one during that time nor was anything caught in the camera.
"UUHHGAA!" Shawn suddenly screamed out loud as if he was struck by inspiration and quickly got out of the room.
"What? What's wrong!?" Peter asked in shock.
"The Spirits are face plaming! You have shamed yourself and your ancestors, but they have lifted the curse because of the cool lab coat you are wearing." The psychic detective spoke out before pointing towards the camera. "Now keep an eye on those cameras for… ten minutes, and I'll call you later." He spoke out as he started running out the room.
Everyone looked to Gus. "Is he always like this?" Dove asked.
"It may not look it but it usually does help," He paused for a second. "50 percent of the time." He added the last part in.
They all watched the cameras until a few more seconds passed by.
"Hey wait a sec, where is he?" Weiss asked they all started looking around the cameras. For some reason, the immature man was nowhere to be seen despite all the cameras all over the place.
A few minutes passed before Gus had a call from his Scroll. "Shawn? Where are you? Camera 14?"
They all looked over to the camera labeled 14, and were surprised to see Shawn waving at them from a large looking vault door.
"Oh Dust! How'd he get there!?" Peter cried out as he left the room quickly, which prompted the others into following him. While in their way to where ever Shawn was, Nora squealed.
"He is a psychic! Isn't this so amazing!?"
"Nora Psychics are not real. Unless they are hunters then they are real, but other than them, there are no such things as diviners or those that can tap into the super natural!"
"Resh can stop time and you don't question that." Nora brought up a strangely good point.
"Because Semblance and Dust are scientific facts!"
Shawn greeted them up from ahead, eating up a hot dog and looking over a clip board he snatched from somewhere. "Oh wifet. Imf mettbing pykick bizions." He commented to Peter while food was still in his mouth. He swallowed his meal before looking towards the Vault in the room they were in. "I sense that the perpetrator was trying to get into this vault but stopped for some unexplained reason." He spoke out.
Peter looked worried. "Y-You weren't supposed to be here—how did you know about this place!?" Peter asked worriedly.
"It's one of the great mysteries of life: how can I know all these things? How do I have such great hair almost every day? What is the secret to Spruce Willis' amazing acting career?"
"Wow I do wonder all those things!" Nora cooed with wide eyes of awe.
Weiss, Dove, Russel, and Gus rolled their eyes before Dove asked out loud. "So what is in the vault?"
"It's classified." He spoke out before looking towards Shawn. "How did you even come here without us noticing the cameras? Do you actually have a semblance?"
Shawn tossed his hands up briefly. "Why-why is that everyone's demand on the first try? Is it so hard to believe that I have supernatural powers? And look good while doing it?" In the back of his head, the real reason as to how Shawn was able to bypass the cameras was because he already noticed and memorized their patterns of movement. With a little timing, he was able to pass by all of the cameras without being seen.
"I believe!"
"Thank you strange orange headed girl, your faith shall one day be rewarded," Shawn pointed to his new fan before pointing towards Peter in the same dramatic manner. "Look man, if I found this, isn't it likely that the person who broke in was after this thing as well?"
"That's impossible. This giant Vault as you see here is a 3 dimensional quasi lock with several trip and security measures that will only allow access to two other people here," He pointed out towards a hand scanner. "The scanners are designed to recognize the specific DNA of a person down to the tiniest of cell and will only open up to my and Dr. Gorin's hand print." The doctor turned towards the large vault but just before he placed his hand in, Shawn noticed an old Faunus with scales walk into the room with a janitor's uniform.
The machine scanned the professor's hand.
BLAAAARRREEEE!
Everyone quickly closed their ears as red light echoed throughout the room.
"That's a really obnoxious way of accepting your print!" Shawn screamed out loud as the doors started locking around them.
"Why is the alarm going off!?" Dove screamed as Peter frantically tried the scanner again.
"What on Remnant!? It's not accepting my DNA print!?"
"Mr. Kordu!" The Janitor walked up and put his hand on the scanner. Suddenly the alarms stopped and the doors re opened.
"Ooh so that's what happens when someone else tries to open this." The Janitor lazily spoke out as the large, impressive vault door opened up… to reveal a bunch of custodian material and cleansing items?
"That is the most elaborate Janitor's closet I have ever seen." Shawn spoke out.
"I know right? Rich people, they pay for anything to look good. … No offense boss." The Janitor agreed with the detective before turning to his boss and putting back a mop cart. "Actually, while I'm here, I was thinking if the Janitor's closet could use a sink. I usually have to unload the dirty water in the restroom since this place doesn't have plumbing."
"What? Rich people, am I right?" Shawn spoke as he and the Janitor shared a small laugh.
"Your classified vault is a Janitor's office?!" Gus asked before he looked at Peter who looked very shocked and stunned.
"N-No! Project Fool's Gold was supposed to be here!?" The scientist frantically screamed before he went into the strange vault, passing by and knocking over poorly set mops and brooms before looking towards a pedestal with a bent in and old lunch box on it.
"Project Fool's Gold? That is the lamest name for a secret research I have ever heard."
Despite Shawn's complaint, Peter looked horrified and turned to the janitor. "Karl!? Where is the Experimental Compound!?"
"OK can someone please explain what's going!?" Russel shouted out loud.
"The wannabe extra from Fist of the North Star is right," Shawn commented. "It's time you calmly explained things from the beginning."
Peter looked around before sighing. He led them all to his office before explaining the whole thing to them. "You see, Merlot Industry was working on a very top secret project. So secret only a few of us here know about it, so when I saw you in the vault, I panicked because only a few people knew that vault was even there."
"Well that's weird. I thought that was my office." The rather slow looking Janitor spoke out.
"Dang it Karl! Your office is on the other side of the building! How did you even open…" Peter trailed off as he fished for something in his coat.
"Well boss you gave me the master key to open up my office." Karl spoke out.
"What do you mean by that?" Gus asked.
Alright, it was confusing, but eventually they all got their stories all straight. First off all, Merlot Industry has a security system based on DNA recognition, but the Master Key—a card that Peter keeps with him has the ability to "Cleanse a lock" in other words the master key doesn't actually open any lock, but it removes all the current DNA signatures that the lock recognizes and allows the user to set their own print on it afterward though it usually takes a day for it to register.
What happened was as follows, Peter had accidentally given Karl the master Key, since yesterday was his first day at the job, and Karl accidentally wandered towards the vault on his first day and used the master key to let his finger print be over written for the main lock. (The reason he even handed the master lock to Karl was because the day he arrived was very hectic and stressful for the scientist.)
All in all it was a huge misunderstanding.
Then the others wanted to know what was actually hidden in the vault.
"Well I think I've lost my job again, so what point is there hiding it? Project Fool's Gold was an old project I was planning in Shcnee Dust Company before I was fired for a similar accident with my own clumsiness."
Weiss stepped back behind the group which did not go unnoticed by Shawn.
"Basically, it was the idea that we could propagate Dust particles as a duplicate from already existing Dust atom particles."
"Speak in non-mad scientist terms please. And this time use a fake and slightly offensive accent while rubbing your hands evilly."
However, Gus actually ignored his friend and seemed surprised. "He means that Project Fool's gold is the ability to clone Dust. You could make an infinite amount of Dust Supply if you pull that off and put even her out of business!" He shouted with shock and ended up pointing at Weiss.
The girl in white was shocked. "You could make Artificial Dust… from Dust?"
"No! No! Not really! Fool's Gold is the proof that a theory like that can happen, but the…" He looked at Shawn. "Long story short the conditions behind cloning dust are erratic at best, but we've been scanning them in such a way that does prove it's possible. Knowledge like that could change Remnant forever, so we tried our best to keep it under wraps between me and another scientist. But now it's gone!" The scientist sat down on a seat and placed his hand on his head. He looked like the world was going to end.
"Gone? Boss, you and Dr. Gorin told me to send it to Professor Julis for a sample." The Janitor explained.
"What? That was the… wait that was this morning. I told you I had sent a box of blood samples that he wanted into your office and that I needed you to file out the process of sending it to."
"Let me guess," Everyone once more looked at the detective as he placed a hand on his head with mystic grace. "You mailed it through the public mail system."
"Oh yeah. How'd you know?" The janitor asked.
"I'm psychic."
Peter's eyes then widened. "Wait, you sent it through the mail? Then we can still get it back! Karl, which mail company did you send the box to!?"
Pyrrha had this odd sense of foreboding as she continued driving the van. She could have sworn that every time she stopped at a light, she heard a ram 'baa'ing.
"So what's the first place we have to deliver this to again?" Yang asked, snapping the red head back into the road.
"His name is Professor Leroen Julis. He should be on the house on our right…" The gladiator champion drawled off as they noticed some cars surrounding the normal looking house.
"Is there a party?" Yang first asked before thinking against it. The house seemed a little too quiet for some reason.
The two girls got out of the van and opened up the back.
"Baaaahhh!"
Pyrrha and Yang jumped out of the way as a mountain Ram jumped out of the back and bucked off into the distance.
"Was that a Ram?" Yang asked in disbelief.
"I knew it!" Pyrrha yelled out as she pointed at the white furry creature clopping away.
Then the two looked into the van then paled.
"… Pyrrha?"
"Yes Yang?"
"Did that goat just eat and slobber on almost all of the boxes?"
Pyrrha said nothing as she picked up a now empty box with an impression of Ram teeth bitten all over it.
"Yang, this box is supposed to be left here." The Champion of Mistrial showed the box address that was slightly wet, but had this same address as the house they were in front of.
"Excuse me."
The blonde girl became especially pale when she heard another different voice coming from behind her. The two huntress in training looked over to see a tall, bald man wearing a suit and a tie looking ready to go somewhere. Surprisingly, he also had a wicked scar across his right eye.
"I'm sorry to sound rude, but I have a package that I would like to have right now." The man spoke out bluntly.
The two quickly shared a look. "Sorry sir," Pyrrha uneasily started. "Your contents were eaten?" She managed to say in a somewhat confused state.
The man's eyes impressively widened as he looked towards were the goat ran off to. "Are you telling me my contents are in that goat!?"
"I think he's a ram but yes?" Pyrrha meekly spoke before the man ran back into his house.
"Pyrrah! Why did you tell him!?" Yang yelled in surprise.
"What could I do, lie?"
"Yes!" Yang spoke out. "Aww man, I thought for sure this would be an easy A! I can't be kicked out of Beacon for failing to become a mail man!"
"And I don't want to let the company down!" Pyrrha took out a cap and placed in on her head tightly. "Yang, get back in the car! We're going after that Argali." She spoke out as she closed the doors and jumped back to the front of the truck.
Yang just stared at the new determined Pyrrha with shock. "Do you have any idea how Jaune would fall for you if you just were more assertive like that!?"She yelled before running after her.
As the delivery van ran after the direction where the mountain sheep ran away, they didn't notice several ominous looking cars right after them.
[Meanwhile…]
"It's a good thing The Post Office has a tracking system so you can keep track of you orders." Peter said out as he drove his car while Karl was holding out his scroll. "I already called the Vale Post Office and I've informed them about their package, but for some reason their deliverers aren't responding."
Peter, Carl, and Dove were in a normal car while Gus was driving right behind them. Currently they were communicating through Dove and Russel's Scroll.
"Huh that's weird." Karl said as he looked at his scroll." "According to this here tracking number… our delivery was on its way to the professor's house, now it's going somewhere else."
"What? Where is it going now?" Peter asked as over on Dove's Scroll, everyone in Gus' car heard it from Russel's side.
"Here, let me give ya some directions: turn right here and our delivery should be towards the right."
Everyone parked around a nice beach like area.
"Hey wait a second, this is near our office." Gus spoke out as everyone got out of their cars.
True enough they were nearby the same office they were in not too long ago.
"Ooh! Lookie, lookie! There's a goat!" Nora cried out as they group all looked out to see a whitish gray mountain ram chewing on some of the palm leaves nearby the Psych office.
"Oh hey! My Argali is here!" Shawn smiled and started slowly walking towards the creature.
"Shawn," Gus spoke out in an unamused tone. "What is that?"
Before the man could answer, they all heard the loud screech of a car. Quickly, everyone got out of the way of a speeding car that came through the sidewalk and snatched away the goat in spectacular fashion by having someone in a suit and a sun glass stick out of the window and grab the goat.
Shawn threw out a hand out dramatically towards the car now leaving away. "NO! Guster Junior!"
"You named the goat after me!?" Gus screamed.
"How could you Gus, he's a proud Argali, or mountain sheep. He reminded me of you, who can reach any heights he wants to with his stubby legs and goatee—by the way you should grow a goatee."
"Can we please focus for one blasted second!?" Weiss screamed as she made a motion to reach for—"Ugh! Stupid no weapon rule! What-Who was that!?" The heiress demanded.
Before they could answer that, a Postal Service Van screeched in to a slide and bumped into a fence to stop.
"T-That was some horrible driving!" A familiar voice screamed out loud as two equally familiar girls stepped out of the damaged van.
"Yang?! Pyrrha!?" Weiss stated in shock as she looked at the two girls.
"Huh? Oh hey Ice Queen." The blonde girl in a mailman's uniform waved at her casually as she dusted her hair off.
"I was cut off by that strange black car." Pyrrha spoke out as she got out of the driver's seat. "We would have been much worse off if I hadn't tried to stop us with my… semblance." The red haired girl spoke out.
"Wait a sec are you the ones with the delivery to Professor Julis?" The scientist of the group pointed towards the girls.
"What!? You too!? First the guy with a scar, then the goat, now some—"
"Hold on, did you just say scar?" Shawn interrupted placing a hand on his head in a mysterious manner. "By any chance did he have it across his right eye?"
"Yes? How did you know?" Pyrrha asked.
The scientist looked baffled for some reason. "Wait a scar? Professor Julis doesn't have a scar,"
"But Dr. Groin—"
"Dr. Gorin!" Gus corrected quickly.
"I've heard it both ways. Doctor Groin does have one. Man, and I thought Doofinshmirtz was a silly name, no wonder he's evil." Shawn finished.
"I'm sorry evil? Doctor Gorin is my mentor and he was the one who helped me on Project Fool's Gold."
"I'm sorry to say Peter, who was it that instructed the installation of your security cameras? The same cameras that if you memorize a certain pattern and timing, you can pass by them completely undetected? And I'm sensing…" He placed his hand near his head again. "He's been rather irritable lately?"
"How did you… yes, we received cuts to our funding from the funding, but I was the one who pushed cutting our own paychecks so others would keep their jobs."
"You would cut your own paycheck to keep others in their job?" The white themed girl asked.
"I know what it's like to be fired. It's kind of hard to get back from that this day and age. But what the psychic detective is saying… it's starting to make some sense. The doctor was pretty upset at the cut. I just can't believe he would do such a thing…"
"I can. Boss, he was a jerk to the rest of us. You were the one we liked." Karl the janitor explained.
"Wait, so let me get this all straight: the science guy made something that has the potential to clone Dust, but the other lead doctor/professor wanted to steal it to make a quick buck. He couldn't steal it because when he tried to open up the vault, all he found was Karl's equipment, which meant that he must have realized that Karl, having the order to send a box to another professor, already sent the mail to be processed. However, because Shawn here ordered a mountain ram that escaped his cage and ate the container for this substance, it left Yang and Pyrrha's care only to find its way somehow here and get stolen by the people this evil professor is selling it to?"
"Yes, I understood all of that." Nora blinked. "But we gotta save Guster Junior!"
"We are not calling that Ram my name!"
"You're name is Guster Junior?" Yang and Pyrrha looked strangely at the bald man.
"Burton Guster! And even with all of the other stuff, how on earth are we supposed to know where Gorin and the ram are?"
In one brief second, Shawn pointed a hand up. "OOuuuwaaahhh! The Sprits! The Sprits they call me!" Then he started dancing around like a mad chicken. In his mind, he was recalling that little clip board he swiped back at the lab that just so happened to have a receipt for tickets in a certain area.
"The Spirits?" Pyrrha asked before Nora put a hand on her mouth.
"Shhhh! The Spirits are talking…" The orange haired girl stared with laser focus.
Yang blinked. "Wait wha—"
"Shhh!" Nora spoke out.
Shawn stood up and looked towards his scroll with a smile. "I know where they are!"
[Later at night]
"Are you even sure they're here!?" Gus screamed as everyone got out of their cars with the Vale Police Department were soon to follow them.
"Yes! The psychic vibrations are everywhere!" Shawn screamed as he started running. During his first visit to Merlot Industries, the clipboard he was reading was a schedule that had a circle on this date with a time and a place that spoke Yen Sid World.
Weiss ran up to him. "You do realize that this is Yen Sid World, one of the most famous Amusement Parks in all of Remnant!?" She shrieked as they continued running.
"Oh. My! MONTY! I thought I would never return here! This is the best School Finals ever!" Nora screamed out loud as she ran through a crowd of family members and small children like bowling balls.
Before the security guards could get her, Shawn quickly flashed a police badge. "Halt! Official VPD business! The crazy carrot top is with us on a mission to protect the kingdom." He said before then running after Nora with everyone else that clearly did not look like police at all.
"Why on earth would Dr Groin come here!?" Yang asked.
"Who would think of selling illegal things on one of the most public places in the world?!" Shawn countered back.
"Huh, if Sky were here, I bet he would totally say that he called it." Dove spoke to Russel.
"Wow yeah," The mohawk hunter agreed. "This does sound like one of his conspiracies."
The group ran into a sea of people along the colorful world.
"There is no way we can find them in a place like this, it's all packed!" Gus screamed as everyone looked around.
"OOoooh! Ren! Ren!" Nora suddenly yelled as she ran up to someone with in a chef cap and costume.
Calm and collected pink eyes turned towards hyperactive green ones.
"What are you doing Nora?" Ren asked.
"Ren? You're here?" Pyrrha asked as everyone followed after the orange haired girl.
"Renny! We're after the bad guys and we need your help!" Nora explained.
"Bad guys?" The eastern boy raised his brow.
"Have you seen guys with a majestic mountain Ram? White-ish beautiful round horns for keeping intruders out?" Shawn asked.
Ren looked at the Psychic carefully. He seemed familiar to the magenta eyed boy but… "I'm not sure about a bad guy, but I did see a mountain Ram go towards Super Hero City."
"Alright, come on!" The party yelled before everyone but Russel and Dove stayed behind.
"Wasn't Cardin also here?" The brown haired boy asked.
"Here let me call him real quick." Russel spoke out before they heard a ringing tone coming from a mascot with a Clumsy the Dog Costume that was standing nearby Ren.
The two CRDL members stared at how the mascot was just letting the phone ring despite all the noise around them. Russel stopped his call and suddenly the ringing beneath the mascot stopped as well.
Then Dove silently took out his scroll and called even though the two were not taking their eyes off the silly looking dog mascot.
The Mascot rang again with Cardin's ring tone.
It suddenly clicked on both Team CRDL members as they stared with widening eyes and smiles as they looked at the cartoon dog and started figuring out who was inside it. "Oh my Monty! CarAAAAGHHHH!?"
Ren took out his scroll then he hit the record button of Clumsy The Dog attacking two teens.
"Why didn't we just kill the goat right now and take the remains from its corpse?" A man asked in casual clothes as he walked with a group of other non-conspicuous looking men who was being led by a man with a scar on his right eye as he walked a Mountain Ram. Due to the colorful place of the theme park they were in, most people around simply assumed that the goat was part of one of the shoes or something, considering the people walking around it had a 'staff' on their shirts.
"Do you really think blood cleans off that quickly?" The lead person spoke out as he pulled the Ram to follow him. "We'll just kill it later."
"Baaahhhhh…" The goat yawned before being yanked along again.
"Halt! How dare you treat your Ram with such disrespect!"
The group of people looked up to see a girl in a Hero Woman costume wearing a cape that clearly did not match the costume for some reason was posing dramatically on top of one of the buildings.
Some of the kids nearby cooed and pointed at the heroic girl.
"I, Crimson Hero, am here to enforce Justice!" The girl spoke out before pulling out a huge and realistic looking scythe under the shattered moon.
"Um err Miss?" The man with a scar started. "We're just moving this goat—ram along towards the Petting Zoo vet before it goes along with the rest."
"Oh. Carry on then." The girl projected from on top of the roof.
It was then Shawn Spencer and Weiss came into view and pointed. "Help! Those men stole My Mountain Ram!"
"Ruby!? What on Remnant are you doing!? Did you actually sneak Crescent Rose into an amusement park!?" Weiss screamed while Shawn screamed the first one.
"Weiss!? I mean uhh citizen! What did you just say? Not the prissy one-the man with cool hair?" She shrieked before going back into character.
"Those people aren't staff members, but Argali-Nappers!"
"Shawn!?" Weiss and Gus screamed at him.
"Oh and they also stole a secret world changing formula, but it's in the goat!" Shawn corrected.
"How the hell did they know?!" The scar man, who Shawn Recognized as Dr. Gorin, shouted to them before the dozen of men pulled out pistols.
Weiss acted quickly and summoned several glyphs as a force field to stop the bullets from hitting her, Gus, Peter, and Nora.
At the appearance of real guns, the crowd stated to panic and chaos ensued.
"OK Ruby?! What I said about Crescent Rose? Forget that and help us you dunce!"
The girl ignited her scythe. "R-Right! Beware evil doers for Justice shall be Swift! Justice will be P—"
"Ruby!"
The costumed themed girl inwardly groaned before quickly dispatching most of the armed goons.
"Can she really use a scythe like that? It's like twice her size!" Gus asked with utter shock as Ruby finished knocking out the last goon with the butt of her gun.
"Hey where's Shawn?" Nora asked as they all looked around the now empty area.
"Wait, where's Dr. Gorin? And Karl!?" Peter asked as well.
Shawn had spotted Dr, Gorin sneak away in the crowd the moment his friends started firing and quickly snuck into the crowd to run after him. For an old cliché looking evil scientist, he ran pretty fast despite carrying a goat.
Shawn saw the man dart into the background of what looked to be the large plaza of Yen Sid Land where the usually nightly finale fireworks and light show were going to happen soon.
He went down towards a boiler like room, filled with unlit halls, pipes across the entire room and furnaces to help keep warm despite it being cold and chilly at night.
Among that maze, Shawn heard the familiar sound of a goat in the distance before being shut up violently.
"Dr. Gorin? It's me, Shawn Spencer Psychic Detective. Look, I know that you used to be a proud member before Merlot Enterprise filed for bankruptcy. I think it's noble that you and a few others were able to save some jobs and save what's left of the company you enjoyed. But I also know you've had hard times for money during everything that happened and that you were close to retiring. Selling away your life's work isn't the way to end it all, or maybe at least give it to a respectable corporation."
"There are none left! Ever since the Mount Glenn Incident, there have been no companies left that actually care for people! Everyone else is just too greedy, and you know what? Only the selfish survive! Good people just screwed over!" Gorin's voice echoed from somewhere.
Shawn looked around; he started to hear something humming in the distance which meant that the light show and fireworks show must have been starting soon. "You know that isn't true. I'm not actually good with theological stuff, but doing the right thing is never overrated even if it does suck!"
Shawn slowly turned a corner before he felt something around—
"AAAHHH!" Carrying a large blunt wrench, Dr. Gorin tried to bash Shawn's skull in with the metal object, but thankfully, Shawn was able to dodge to the side.
However, No Dr. Gorin started swinging wildly to hit the younger man and he was surprisingly fit despite his appearance.
Shawn stumbled backward on a pipe he didn't see on the ground as Dr Gorin raised the wrench up high—then was tackled hard into the wall by Karl.
"Karl? How'd you—oh right, Faunus vision. I keep forgetting that for some reason." Shawn spoke up as the simple janitor helped him up.
"I also heard what ya said," Karl put a hand at the back of his head to rub it. "I didn't know that had rough time as any of us. How'd you know that?"
In Shawn's mind, he just recalled looking it up and spotting a few key items when he was first sneaking around in Merlot Industry, he did pass by Dr. Gorin's place briefly which was why he noticed the plaque from Merlot Enterprise.
"I told you man, psychic visions."
Karl clicked his tongue. "Almost sounds as bad as how Boss got fired from the Schnee Dust Corporation."
That caught his attention, he would ask about that if not for one little thing that was very urgent. "Wait, where's Guster Junior?" Shawn spoke out before Karl pointed and spotted the goat tied and chained to a nearby furnace.
[Later…]
The VPD were now taking in everyone involved in the crime and shooting.
Peter, Karl, Shawn and Gus were having some last words with Shawn petting Guster Junior, caringly.
"You would have made a lovely guard goat." Shawn frowned as the goat started biting on hay.
"No, I'm not letting you keep a wild animal in our office." The real Guster spoke out as he eyed the lazy looking creature evily.
"Sorry Shawn, this Ram did eat our container, yes it was that small and we did X-ray it. So unless Junior here can regurgitate it, we'll have to keep him until…"
As if by Monty's word himself, the goat suddenly burped badly before belching right in front of the four men. Besides goat chunks, a small cylindrical looking object poured out as well.
"Oh dang it! It's on my shoes! I paid good money on these!" Gus screamed.
"Well boss, it looks like we won't have to wait for it to do it the natural way." Karl joked.
Peter looked at Shawn. "I guess you can have him after all."
"You are not keeping that monstrosity Shawn! Our Lease won't allow it! I won't allow it!" Gus yelled vehemently before storming off to clean his shoes somehow.
Shawn looked over to a bunch of students. "Well I spent a full minute on that heart felt goodbye, might as well try again." He spoke as he took the leash of the ram.
"Didn't we just cause a police accident a few weeks back?" Yang stated as she, and the rest of the Beacon Gang stood in the corner while the police where everywhere around the Amusement Park. "And you would think that this place has a higher security system."
"There was an inside man here, one of the others confessed." Weiss stated.
"This! Was! So! Fun!" Nora cheered. "I hope all our semester Finals are like this!" The bubbly girl cheered.
"I don't. I hated every minute of it." Cardin was in a brooding mood while he folded his arms and leaned on a nearby wall.
Yang's smile only grew. "Now what was that I hear about—"
"Xiao Long, if you speak off this day, I get to say that you almost failed Beacon for being the worst mailman ever."
"H-Hey that was out of my hand!" The blonde girl spoke out. "And since when were you especially witty?"
"I've had a lot of silent reflection during my time trapped in that blasted costume."
"You thought that would be long?"
Everyone panicked and looked to see a very, very disappointed (ticked off) Ms. Goodwitch and an amused Headmaster Ozpin.
"Do any of you realize that it hasn't even been a full week since the last time you all got involved in another police incident?" The veins on her head did not go well with how eerily calm her voice was.
"Glynda, please. I sent some of the students towards a private detective job. Still, it was best that everyone came together and no one was harm, yes?"
"Speaking of harm: Ms. Rose, why did you bring your weapon when it was clearly stated not to bring any weapons?!" The blonde professor was now throwing subtley out of the wind and outright glaring at the costumed girl hero.
Fear chained the young prodigy's heart as she cowered before the might of Glynda's glare.
Thankfully, except for Ruby, Ms. Glynda wanted a 'private' and had some 'select' words for Ms. Rose, so Yang and Ozpin followed after to mitigate and give emotional support to the scared little girl.
"Man, who was that hot chick?" Shawn asked as he looked away at the blonde professor.
"You don't want to know." Weiss sighed.
"By the way, Since you guys did great and all, I've decided to give you all B's."
"B!? Why a B?!" Dove cried out.
"Because we never did team bonding. But Nora get's an A for enthusiasm."
"Whoo! I scored higher than Weiss!" Nora screamed out.
The girl in white paled and put a hand tiredly. "Heavens, strike me down now."
"And that's not all, because of your everlasting impression, Norie—" Shawn ignored everyone saying her name was Nora, "I've heard it both ways. Anyway I give to you Guster Junior."
Nora slapped her hands to her face and did a combination of a squeal, scream, shriek, and gasp all in one second.
Ren and Pyrrha's eyes widened.
Quickly, The eastern boy tried to speak up. "Nor—"
"OhmygoshthisreallyisthebestdayeverIgotanewfriendthatican'twaittoshowfearlessleaderwe'llbebestfriendsanddopamazingthingstogetherandourfouryearsinBeaconwillbetheabsolutesuperspecialawsomestthingintheentireplanet!" Nora spoke out that entire sentence in one breath before picking up and hugging the goat, before excitedly running away towards the first bull plane back to Beacon. Pyrrha and Ren quickly ran after her to convince her otherwise.
"We should probably go home to. I'm tired." Cardin spoke out. "Not to mention, you two look pretty beat up."
His two teammates glared at their leader. "And who's fault was that!?"
"Tel me, who exactly beat you up again? Say it out loud for al to hear?" Cardin smirked as he made them realize that if they say Cardin was the one who beat them up, everyone would know they got technically beat up by a mascot in a silly costume.
"Is it me or is that people who meet with Resh Kolc become extra snarky?" Dove whinned his breath as the three of them left.
"I better go and see if my leader needs support then." Weiss sighed, wanting nothing more than this day to end.
"Hold it! One more thing," Shawn grabbed the girl's shoulder. "You might want to have a talk with Peter before he leaves."
Weiss froze before looking at the man. "W-What are you taking about?"
"Well, I may have done a little research here and there, and Karl might have mentioned something to me. He said that Peter got fired for protecting someone in his work. And I'm willing to bet that vague someone, might have been you."
The heiress stared in absolute shock. "Y-Yes. A long time ago, he was a nice employee that showed me around one of the labs my father was running. I accidentally messed some machine I didn't understand at the time and my father became furious and demanded to know who ruined it."
"And Peter took the blame." Shawn finished.
The girl could only nod at that. "I felt so guilty about how helpless I felt when someone else protected me. I hated it so much. It's one of the reasons why I choose to be a hunter, so that no one would feel helpless like that again."
"Then go tell him that. He really does seem like a nice guy. Heck, I bet he's already forgiven you."
"I made him lose his job!" Weiss screamed.
"Yeah, but this time you saved it," Shawn countered. "Come on, a few words with him wouldn't hurt." He prodded.
Weiss looked down at the ground at first before raising her head and walking in a determined manner towards the scientist.
Shawn placed his hands in his pocket and smiled as the two started talking. Ahh what the heck? School was boring anyway, he'll just give them all A(s).
{Authors Notes}
Happy fourth of July!
Once again, Iam sorry for how long this one took, I've been having a lot of trouble with this one and my life in general—blahblah blah the usual.
With that, I have nothing more to say and I still am continuing this story. Peace out!
[Extra: Back in Beacon.]
Jaune yawned with relief as he saw the hallway to his dorm. His body was aching all over.
"I told you not to do that." Resh said as he and Blake trailed behind the blonde teen.
"Oh Jaune! Blake! Resh!" Ruby waved as she, Yang, and Wiess were in front of their dorm.
"Hey Ruby, can we talk later? I'm super tired."
"Jaune almost got ran over by goats." Blake plainly said which made her team look at her strangely for saying something so strange with such a straight face.
"Oh haha! Laugh it up, but seriously, I want to sleep. If I see another goat again, it'll be the death of me." Jaune yawned as he took out his key to his dorm.
At what he said, the rest of Team RWY suddenly had their eyes widened. Jaune didn't know that….
"Jaune, wait!"
The knight in training had already opened the door before that warning completed.
"Fearless Leader! Can we keep him!?" Nora yelled as she brought up the mountain ram to Janue's face.
"Baaa..." The Ram lazily moaned.
"Didn't see that one coming." Resh quickly said as he saw Jaune's blue eyes slowly widen in such a way that shouldn't be possible.
Jaune opened his mouth-
All throughout Beacon, everyone heard the loud and shrill voice of a girl screaming in absolute terror echoing throughout the night.
