RWBY: INFINITY CORE
Chapter Four: RWBY(L)?
Professor Ozpin in his office.
"Tell him his real name huh," professor Ozpin said as he sipped at his new batch of coffee and looked down at the city.
"I guess if the time came I should tell him his whole name, but I pray that time won't come," as he sighed and sat back down at his chair."Being a figure that has to keep secrets to keep his people safe, has its tolls". He stopped and rubbed his temples and grabbed a book form under the table draw and opened it and a loud read the name.
"The Avatar…. huh."
Down on the 2nd floor of beacon academy near RWBY's dorm room.
"Awww man, I should be excited, but why do I feel this pit in my stomach and this over welling amount of nervousness."I guess you could tell I was really pondering it and continued to think what would happen, with many different scenarios going on in my head, the best being that they will completely accept me and not ask any questions." Yeah right." I said to myself aloud, and the worst would be that, they will have to readjust there lives around me and that could led to a bad atmosphere, which would led to an awkward situation everyday.
Obviously over thinking everything I stopped and looked to my left and I was actually standing right in front of the room.
"ohhh, thats convent," I say as I turn to gather my composure and straightened myself out and was about to reach for the door wh—
"I know snow angel you don't have to kee—, ohh hey Lucio," the blond said as she opened the door before me and waved.
"Ohh, uh, yeah, hey Yang, uhh how's it going," I said as I was completely off guard when I was about to knock on the door.
"Ohhh I am good Weiss wanted me to go and get some snack of movie night tonight, but anyway what's up"? The blond said as she stood there and tilter he head and looked at me.
"Well ummm, you see, I well uhh-," Un able to get even a few words across I stopped and took a deep breathe and then tried to speak again.
"Look there is something, that I need to discuss with you and your team", I said as I tried to remain serious to make sure she understood that I had something important to say to them. With that she looked at me and smiled and gestured for me to come in. I walked in to see all of team RWBY, there and doing there own thing, Weiss was cleaning her blade, ruby had on a big pair of red headphone's listening to obviously loud music, mostly likely so she wouldn't be scolded by Weiss. I then turned to my left to see Blake reading a book and decided to look up form her book to see me entering the room, and placed her book down on her bed.
"hey girls our friend Lucio has something he has to say to all of us, and by the looks of it, it is something important", as yang spoke about something important Weiss, reached over to grab the headphone's that were on ruby's head which caught her attention as she and her red headed partner turned to see me.
"OHHH hey Lucio, how did your talk with professor Ozpin go?", The younger of the three girls turned around to face me and tilted her head waiting for an answer form me.
I couldn't possible tell you how hard it was to even begin and how to even tell them that I would be joining there team, but I guess with news like this there really wasn't a right way to say it.
"Guys I know this is going to sound a little strange and more so a little unbelievable, but I need you guys to hear me out all the way. I know you guys are already well aquatinted and have been together for year now, and you guys all seem like a go—"
"I can tell you are bit stressed about what you want to say, but honestly I think you need to just say it," I hear Weiss say from the back with her arm on her lap and the other waving.
"Sorry your right", I said I sighed and spoke again
" As of this day forward I have been assigned to join team RWBY as the first ever team to have 5 members instead of 4," as I said that I could see there jaw's drop at the sudden news of me joining there team.
"Well that wasn't …. exactly what I thought you were going to say." I heard the team leader say as she looks at me with a very puzzled look on her face. As well as the rest of team RWBY.
"Well okay welcome to the team," I hear Yang say as she comes and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Wait how can you just blindly accept what he says, don't you think its odd that someone we just met today would just be tossed into our team out of nowhere." I hear Weiss say as she gets up and starts to make her way to were Yang was standing, with a very displeased look on her face.
As if on Que, there was a knock at the door, I turned around and reached for the door to see professor Goodwich enter the room.
"Ahh Mr. Lucio I am glad to see that you have already made your way to your new team," she say as she looks at the student in front of her.
"I know you all have doubts about what has been said so let me make myself clear, professor Ozpin has made this decisions and expects you all to treat this man, like how you all were treated when you arrived here….
"I understand you must all feel conflicted, but this is the final decision, but it as been make that the team name will not change and will continue to be named RWBY, and now that you have a new member we have also made arrangements to move you and your new team to a bigger room on the 4th floor that will not only accommodate Mr. Lucio, but the four of you as well." as she spoke she looked around to see the girls all nod and they all look at me and I nod as well.
"Okay good you girls have 15 minutes to gather our things and we will move to your new room." professor Goodwich said as she turned away to give the girls enough time to go and get there things ready as well as for the professor to go outside and get the wagon to get all there books and help with the move.
"Well looks like its official we are now a five man team," Ruby says as she get's here belongings, "Its actually really exciting," she says with a giggle.
"I still don't know what I think about this, I mean he wasn't wrong we have spent some much time together and finally was able to get a good rhythm going in our fighting style and team work." Weiss says as she slumps on her bed at the thought of the change.
"Well we can't change what is now, we will just have to work harder to get him up to speed and get our team back on rhythm, besides this might be a really good thing with an extra member we are put at better advantage," Blake says as she looks at her teammates.
"I have to agree with Blake, and I mean he seems like a nice guy and very well composed I think it might be good to have him on board," Yang says as she looks at Ruby.
"I also think that this is a good thing besides he really is an awesome guy, but I won't admit we will need to things differently especially since its 4 girls and now 1 guy, but I would really like to keep him involved with our team activities," she says looking at Weiss, who feels like her teammates are to relax about this, but since they all think that he could be helpful she reluctantly agrees to there reasoning and accepts as well.
"Well, I guess this could be a good thing, but there will be some serious boundaries and rules, I don't know him well enough to trust him fully yet and I hope you can all at least agree with me on that." She look at her team and they all nod in agreement.
- 15 minutes later- Arriving at there new room.
"Okay students here we are," professor Goodwich, says as she enters the room, and what we see is absolulty breathe taking. As we walk in we can see a giant room and kinda resemble there old room except there was door that made its way to a small room that has a personal bathroom, and a bed that take up about 3/4th of the room. "Mr. Lucio this room will be yours, I am sorry that it couldn't be bigger but I figured it has everything you will need, and to the left it has a closet." she shows with her hands and give me a smile.
"I think its lovely, thank you Ms. Goodwich and it reminds me a little of my hold home." I say as I turn to face her putting my fist to my lower hand and bow giving her a smile and she turns to face the rest of my new team.
"Okay girls as you can see your room is now almost twice as large and has more accommodation to fit you and your new team so I hope you can all get along and I look forward to seeing what you and your new team can do," she says as she turns and walks out the door and closes it.
"OH MY GOSH", the squealing team leader said as she sped around the room running in circles causing rose petals to fly every where," I can't believe we got new room and its so much bigger now we can fit everything we couldn't before."
"Yeah I am inclined to agree, lets just hope some one doesn't slice our currants this time", the white haired teammate said as she looks around the room.
"Hey that was so not my fault… I just, you know.. cut it close.." the red head smirks as she laughs at her own joke and in the background you could hear Yang also trying to conceal her laughter.
"Ohh ha-ha your so funny," Weiss says as she continues to unpack her things. With the new room being much bigger they actually don't need to have there beds in a bunk bed layout, but that didn't stop them from making their new room just like the other one, but this time its far more stable.
I could hear them from beyond the wall and it sounded like they were having a good tine and in a way I kinda of think that they have forgotten about me, but as I layed there in my new bed I looked up at the ceiling and thought to myself.
"I finally have a new ceiling that I can look up at," I said a loud and to myself as I could feel myself start to drift to sleep and the room around me became faded as I fell asleep and actually feel asleep for the first time in a long while.
3 hours later—
"..Brother…Brother are you okay," I look around and see a little boy and girl in what looks like a prison cell or cage, and the boy is in lots of bandages and is even bleeding on the ground while the little girl is trying to help him by giving him water. I can't see there face or what they look like but form what I am seeing from the figures it looks like the girl is a faunus, although I can't exactly make out what kind of faunus. From what I am seeing it looks like she is crying and continues to try and get his attention and then I hear a voice behind me.
"You….. are the reason the world ends…."
I shoot up in a cold sweat and again I feel a tremendous pain in my chest again and unable to contain myself I let out a strong groan which in a way alerted the rest of my team that I am there and Yang is the first to come bursting into my room.
"Hey are you okay, what's wrong," Yang says as she comes into my room and see's me grabbing my chest and looks at my eyes and see's something that I couldtnt but quickly shakes it off and focuses on me again and places a hand on my back. Although the moment she touches me I saw something. It looked like a quick flash of a women with dark black hair, with a red outfit and… red eye's.
Soon after though the pain goes away and I am panting heavily and then finally let out a large sigh and looked up at the blond with beautiful lilac eyes, and could see the worries look in her eyes.
"They are getting worse and longer," I thought to myself, but forced a grin and looked back at Yang to see that isn't convinced.
"What happened to you, are you sick," she asked.
Although I could never tell you what is exactly wrong with me, since in a way I truly don't know what's wrong I have had them since I was released form the hospital all though years ago and the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.
"No hopefully nothing that serious, I have had these intense chest pains since I was a little an they just don't seem to calm down, they are the main reason I don't sleep well at night." As I say that she looks at my soak shirt and realized that I must have had a bad dream.
"You know you will catch a cold if you don't change you shirt, here let me have it I will put it in the wash,"she says as she gets up with an open hand. "What are you going to just look at me or are you going to give it to me," she could tell I was hesitant.
"We are part of the same team now, we have to look out for each other." I know her heart was in the right place, but with my body the way it is I guess you could say I am self conscience about what she might think.
"I will take it off and handed it to you, how does that sound?" I say as I get up and the pain receding
"Okay…," she leaves the room, and I turn around and begin to take of my shirt and place it on the bed and turn to face the mirror that I had on my side wall and look at the scar that plagued most of my chest. Then I feel a gental warm hand on my back touching the long scar that ran down my spinal cord.
"What happened to you Lucio," she said so softly and gental, I could still feel her hand on my back.
"is the rest of the team here?" I said.
"No they are all out right now getting some thing for later,... Lucio could you please turn around and face me...please." I heard her say, I pondered her queston and thoguht aobut it and decided to turn around.
I turned slowly and faced her face to face, since she was tall I didnt have to look that far down at her eyes. Although I saw were her eyes went as I faced her and see saw the large scar that looked like a mis shapened ciricle and her eyes grew.
"What... happened to you," as she spoke she moved her hand to touch my chest, but I stop her mid way. "Does it hurt," she said.
"No... not anymore, its just... this scar, in fact all of my scar's... They are eveywhere and have made me the talk of eveyone who see them. The worst part is... I have absolulty no idea where they came from..." I didn't mean for it to happen, but I felt tears fall down my cheeks as I continued to speak.
" I have no memory of my past- hff and when I woke up in the hospital... there was no there to claim me... not a single person I dont know what kind of life I may have had, bUT WAS IT SO BAD THAT NO ONE WOULD CLAIM... did I really have no one..." I paused as the tears continued to flow, tears I was never able to get to flow so many years of it being built up. As I continued to cry, Yang didnt once look away from me, but instead put her hand on my face and lifted my face look at her in the eyes and she brought me in close for a hug. It was one of the warmest hugs I have ever had and as I embraced her something was made very clear to me.
Right now at this moment, I havent felt this much of someone's warmth in my whole life, and I didnt want the moment to end.
"Thank you... So much Yang" I said the tears starting to fade as I pulled away from her and looked at her beautiful eyes.
"of course." she said smiling putting her hand on my face brushing away the last of my tears.
"Everything is going ot be okay now, your not alone anymore."
