Hello Comrades, it is I, Silent Soviet. In chapter 4, the students will get launched off of a cliff, the 2 teams hear Zirc lay down his rhymes, and Jaune will confront him at the end about his rhymes. The winner of the competition is Johanne Smithe; The Song was "I changed my mind" by E dubble, and the game series was the Sly Cooper series. However, Mr. Smithe only answered one right, so the OTP is not going to be overthrown. He has requested that the pairing will be (drum roll please)…. Monochrome! That's right, BlakexWeiss! The next 4 references determine whether or not Zirc will have his own room, or share a room with RWBY or JNPR! Hint: The first 3 are songs, while the fourth is a game. The first person to P.M me with either 3/4 of the answer, or all 4 decides his living space. I don't own RWBY or Star Wars (that's not the reference, you'll never get a free one out of me) Anyway; let's get this party started!
Zirc P.O.V, The next day.
"Ugh, *Yawn *…. Man, I don't wanna get up. What makes it worse is that it's a Sunday." I said, rubbing my eyes. I noticed that everyone else was asleep, so I crept my way to the locker room, only to find it locked. 'Ah, no matter. They always have another way in.' I thought to myself. As I searched for another entrance, I noticed a light coming from an air vent close by. I kneeled down, and saw the inside of a locker room. "Yes," I whispered to myself. I unhinged the vent cover and crawled in. Knowing that my height betrays my muscle capacity, I had no trouble crawling through. The one problem I soon found out however was that I couldn't break through the second one, because my arms were trapped against my sides. Remembering that the one thing Beacon allowed us to mail from home was in our lockers, I whistled 5 notes that sounded like the beginning of the Star Wars theme song. I heard a loud clank and the ticking of nails across a linoleum floor. When it approached, it recognized me as its creator.
"Hello Reaper" I said. *Woof, woof * barked Reaper. "Activate protocol 574 to the vent opening." When Reaper barked again, a laser protruded from his back, slicing open the vent cover, allowing me to crawl out. "Good boy, Reaper." As I got up, I got a better look at the Cyber Wolf before me. "You'll get a treat later, I had to strip myself of Grimm meat before getting on the plane. You know how Ozpin likes his orderliness and cleanliness. Not to mention Glynda would have a cow if she saw me smuggling in raw meat. She'd think we're crazy." I said. I heard his little whine at the first part, but near the second part, he was barking a bark that resembled a laugh. "Heh, yeah we already are crazy aren't we?" I asked. He barked as we headed back to my locker. "Alright, since I didn't ask Ozpin about pets, you have to get back into your case until we get launched." He whined a soft, sad whine, which broke my heart. "I'm sorry buddy, but he seemed preoccupied yesterday. Don't worry though, when I let you free, you can kill as many Grimm as you want until initiation is over, then I will ask, and no matter what Ozpin says, you will still stay out of your case and be introduced to my friends. Okay?" I asked. He let out a small bark, and then reluctantly disassembled, his parts magnetically floating into the capsule, fitting perfectly like a puzzle. "Good boy." I said.
Now was the time to get my suppressive fire weapon, because a pistol and a sawed off weren't good for long battles, nor were they good for taking down large enemies (unless I got close to a vital). I pulled a backpack out from my locker. It had the words "American Badass" on it, while it also had a few other words underneath it, such as "I'm goin platinum (sellin rhymes) I went platinum (7 times)" and "Oh, they call me cowboy, I'm the singer in black, Throw me the finger in the air, let me see where you're at". It looked light, but it was incredibly heavy. I was only able to lift it because of my intensive training regime I had engaged in, just to apply to beacon. Had I been Yang's height, I would've been as strong as that one kid who carries a mace around with him and is always followed by his friends. He seemed a bit off to me, so I made a mental note to watch over him. Anyway, I tested the guns out and made sure the sights were straight and nothing was malfunctioning. "Well," I said "Time to wake them up".
Time Skip.
I had my headphones in listening to another favorite, Ignition, By R Kelly. Oddly enough, I was thinking about Yang as I heard the lyrics. ' NO. She wouldn't like you after the story you told them. She probably thinks you are a freak as well.' This must've caused a sad look on my face, because Yang did something she knows I like, but I mask it as hate. "Why so sad?" She whispered near my ear. I shivered, while whispering back "Damn it Yang, you know I hate that." "Sure you do, and I hate the fact that my hair is beautiful." I looked at her hair, and sure enough, it was flowing in the wind like the raging Missouri on a hot summer day, after weeks of rain. The sky and the cliffs didn't improve my predicament one bit. She just looked so damn beautiful. Her eyes, her face, her body (not being a pig, it just doesn't compare to anything else), but especially her personality. She cares for Ruby like a mother Ursa would care for her cub, even though she doesn't show it. It was then I heard a Sproing, snapping me out of my thoughts. I noticed that there were 3 students left (excluding myself), and got ready for the launch. I got my glider ready, waiting to be launched.
As the 3 were launched, I readied myself for the launch, double checking everything. Then, Sproing, and I was flying through the air in a modified version of Da Vinci's Flying machine. The lyrics floating through my head were 'I'm as free as a bi~rd now'. I admired the scenery until a black shadow started to descend upon me. I noticed just before it was too late.
Jaune P.O.V
"Jaysus Pyrrha, you alright?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm just amazed at the amount of Aura you have" She said. "And what was that before my name?" "Oh, sorry, it's just a pirate's way of saying Jesus." I said. "How would you know that?" She said. "Just a popular game called Assassin's Creed Black Flag." I said. "Oh, I've heard of that" She said. "It looks fun" "It is, I have completely upgraded the Jackdaw with elite cannons, elite heavy shot and storage, all upgrades for the harpoon boat, all the outfits, although the Mayan stelae were hard to find. I also have The Black Ship's sails and figurehead, as well as Captain Morgan's Redingote and pistols. I never really use the mortars on the ship, but I do use the swivels a lot. Boy, have those saved a countless number of my ships. But those gunboats and Brigs are a bitch to deal with. Especially when they work together. It might as well be a circle jerk of FUCK. But when I broadside those bastards, they fall before the mighty pirate CAPTIAN EDWARD KENWAY, THE DEVIL OF THE SEVEN SEAS!" I yelled. I looked over to Pyrrha and noticed the blank expression on her face. "Wait, they don't teach ship names and tactics in Mistral?"
"No they do not," She said while giggling. "Alright, the first thing to know about them is the difference between a ship and a boat." "I thought they were the same," She said. "It is a common misconception. Just think of it like this: A boat can fit on a ship, but a ship cannot be fit on a boat." "Next is…" and with that, I taught Pyrrha the ins and outs of a ship, the names, cannon terms, and ship terms. I had decided that a cave was the ruin that they talked about (a major fault as it would be soon proven). When we went in, I had a torch, but I had dropped it in a puddle, so we were in the dark. I had seen a light, and went towards it, saying I had found the relic. Before I knew it, I was flying through the air, screaming like a schoolgirl. 'I hope Zirc is doing better than me' was the predominant thought in my head.

BACK, BACK YOU DEMON BIRD!
Line break
As I was flying through the air, I felt a soft weight impact my back, and a quiet 'Oomph' could be heard. 3 seconds later, I hit a tree, feeling a bone break, but it was quickly healed by my aura. "Hey Jaune" I heard. I looked up, and saw I was upside down facing
Ruby. "Hey Ruby" I said. She hopped out of the tree, leaving me to deal with my predicament. I heard some talking, and screaming. I got unstuck, saw Weiss falling, and took my chance. I jumped, catching her, and said "Just Dropping in?" Forgetting that gravity was in effect, we fell. I landed on the ground face first, and she landed on my back. "My hero," she said sarcastically. "My back" I said, in pain. We both got up just in time to see Pyrrha get hit back to our group. "Great, now we can all die together." "Wait" Ren said, the 2 having joined the group seconds before I jumped. "Where's Zirc?" He said. We all looked around until I heard Ruby say "Uh, guys. You may want to look at this." We all looked, and were baffled by what we found. 2 Nevermore were chasing Zirc, And he was flying like a bat out of hell, with storm clouds behind him. "Shit" we collectively said. "Alright, we have zero chance to fight all three, and an Alpha Nevermore is a fight on it's own. Let's get to the cliffs and fight the weaker of the 3." Said Ruby, surprisingly. "Alright, I'll signal him our plan. I need 2 flags for this" Said Pyrrha. Ren produced a medics' flag from his sleeve, and Yang had a handkerchief in her left pocket. They gave the flags to Pyrrha, who then signaled Zirc, hoping he would get the message.
Zirc P.O.V
'SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT' was all that went through my mind. I saw in the distance what looked to be Pyrrha signaling me to…. "Eat the big Pancake, and give them the rest?" I said. It took me a minute to translate it. "Oh, I'll take the alpha and they'll take the other two, ok" I said as I smoke screened the two birds. I sent a flare up that said 'k' when it exploded, launched a capsule at them, and lured the alpha away. I hoped it was enough.
Jaune P.O.V
"LOOK OUT!" I yelled, as a projectile came towards us, luring the Deathstalker and the younger Nevermore towards us. I found what Zirc had shot at us. A Note said, "Whistle the first 5 noted from the Star Wars theme". I told them what it said, and Nora (again, surprisingly) Whistled on point. The capsule opened, revealing parts to float out and form into a Cyber Dog-thing. It recognized Nora's voice, and went over to her. It's mouth opened, revealing a speaker, to which the following was heard "SHIT! REAPER, PROTOCOL 3 ON JAUNE, THEN PROTOCOL 13-X ON THE DEATHSTALKER! NOW!" The mouth closed, then approached me and jumped onto me, morphing into a suit of armor with 2 large cannons on each shoulder. A voice was heard, sounding like Gilbert Gottfried's. "Say: 'Fire the Bass cannon' at the top of your lungs for maximum effectiveness." Listening to the voice, I yelled it while aiming at the Deathstalker. 'The Bass Cannon does not disappoint' I thought, as all the armor was stripped off of it, revealing its vitals. We all hit at one, and killed it instantly. Reaper then jumped off of me and started to eat the Grimm. " What the hell!? It just eats it?" Said Weiss. The maw opened again, this time the speaker says "YEAH *CAW * (in distance) SHUT UP YOU DUMB BIRD. (Back to present) HE HASN'T EATEN FOR A WHILE, HE'LL NEED TIME TO REGENERATE, IN THAT TIME, KILL THE NEVERMORE!" Said Zirc, engaged in battle. "But how are we going to do that?" Said Blake. "DECAPITATE IT, BURN IT, MAKE IT CHOKE ON ITS OWN EYEBALLS, I DON'T CARE, JUST MAKE SURE YOU SEND REAPER BACK TO ME! ARGHH, GOTTA GO, LOOK TO THE WEST AFTER YOUR FIGHT AND ENSURE I'M NOT BLINDSIDED. COMMANDER ZIKE, OUT" And with that, Reaper closed his bloodied jaw, ending the announcement. "Any ideas on how to kill that thing" I said. "I got an idea. It's stupid, but it'll work.
5 minutes later.
"Only you would come up with this idea" Said Weiss. "Think you can make the shot?" …"Can you?" "Of course I can" With that final remark; Ruby was slingshot up the mountain, dragging the Nevermore with her, ultimately beheading the beast at the top. "Well, that was a thing. Now, let's check up on my boyfri- err, I mean, friend." Yang said, slightly giggling and looking nervous. "Yang, we all know you like him. Half of us saw you whispering in his ear, I heard you "Dreaming" about him last night, and Blake told me that when you saw him in trouble, you grew flustered and angry." Ruby stated, slightly annoyed with Yang playing this game. "Well, the truth is out, now let's look to the west" Yang retorted, rather embarrassed, a first for her. At this time, Reaper came back, this time looking more worn. He opened his jaw, and everyone heard these lyrics "You think that you can take me, that'll never happen cause I'm out huntin', Nevermore trappin. Walk my own way, never give a fuck, be like AC/DC cause bitch…. You just got Thunderstruck." At "Thunderstruck" Everyone saw 2 figures, one small, somehow directing all the lightning towards the much larger figure, making it freeze in mid air, and then explode. Soon after, a MEDVAC came through. But something wasn't right. Everyone on board was either white like rice on a paper plate in the middle of a snowstorm, or sweatier then a fat person in Death Valley wearing 7 sweaters. Either way, everyone was uncomfortable. Zirc said he was going to fly back. He said he had some stuff to think about, which was true. I fell asleep on board, making sure to ask Zirc where he knew those lyrics and rapping style.
Zirc P.O.V
'Had I just called upon my strongest ability, while thinking about Yang?' I thought. "And what she said. Was it true? Did she really like me?" I thought aloud. "I hope so, because, I think I…. I…. Like her. Maybe even-and this is a stretch- love her? Because I only do that when I care deeply about a person." For it was true. I hadn't told them how I killed the robbers afterward with the same storm power. "Ugh, my thoughts are plaguing my mind. I need to focus, and not think with my balls. My body just needs to let me ohh." "What had happened out there was an 'America Fuck Yeah' moment." And then I flew back to beacon, no chess piece in hand, for there was none left.
Done. I'm tired, no A/N, Goodnight.
