Chapter 4: The heck is Going on?
the day was like any other sunny day the teams were in classes the clones were running there drills to stay in shape Chappy talking to petter a bit while the other clones were doing there drills seeing as he finished his earlier the only one not doing them was Player who was walking through the halls going to the nurses office for some reason
-"god why does my head hurt like this feels like a Wampa or a damned Ursa has been Beating my head with bolder."- Player thought to himself as he kept walking but bumped into someone and he slide to the floor holding his head still "S-sorry about that I wasn't watching where I was going." Player said as his vision blurry due to how bad his headache was as another wave of pain hit him
"It's ok but are you alright you look like you got punched by a Ursa?" The person said slightly concerned
"Y-yeah w-wait Yang?" Player said as he looked up still unable to tell for sure
"Yup was on the way to my next class couldn't you tell?" Yang asked Confused
"Well Crap" Player said as he sighed "No no I can't it's all to blurry I know you may not like me much with how we first meet some time back, But so far it's too bad for me to see and my heads Killen me feels like in Ursa did hit me with a bolder." Player finished knowing he can't hide a thing from Yang and knowing it isn't wise to try
"I put how we first meet aside Player give me your hand." Yang said as she offered her hand and had a concerned look on her face
Player having a hard time seeing tried to reach for it but it failed when his head and he puts both hands on his head grunting in extreme pain
Yang at this point grabbed him and helped him up and started to pull him to the Nurses Office wondering what the heck was wrong with the normal flirt of Chappy's squad
**/**\**
as Yang and Player entered the nurses office the nurse directed them to a bed when they got Player on it the nurse started checking finding out that his headaches were damaging to his health shocked at first then went to get the schools doctor Yang stayed with him and held his hand but Player did what Yang did not expect
"Yang go to class I'll be alright, besides don't want a Hot thing like yourself to be Missing the whole class would be sad." Player said in a playful and friendly tone effectively shocking Yang not knowing Player knew how to be friendly
"I think they will be alright, Besides I want to know what the heck is up with you it isn't like you to be feeling this bad is it." Yang asked Player as he chuckled a little only to regret it as he felt pain
"No not really it just feels like something's causing my head to beat like a panicked heart." Player said as he laughed a little it after "Y-you know this is the first time I gave you a compliment/line implying you look great, Without getting on your bad side or messing it up." Player finished as he laughed a little more only for more pain to hit him
"Yeah it is but I am sure you will be alright just gotta let the nurses check you out first." Yang said starting to worry more about her friend and hoping it wasn't anything life threatening
in a daze after the pain Player looked at Yang and smiled "Hey Yang you ever get... nightmares... about some really bad times?" Player said dazed starting to feel things getting foggy
"I think everyone dose Player why do you ask?" Yang asked slightly confused
"I do every night like shadow and the others, it was a nightmare about something with the number six and then turning my rifle on my general our friend... but lately it's been getting worse I saw you guys in there as well you Ruby Weiss Blake and the others... I wanted it to stop I heard shots being fired and saw the shots going for you all I screamed for it to stop but my voice wouldn't come out I was stuck in a horrible dream... seeing everyone close to me and the others get cut down before us... it was so painful when I woke I wasn't the only one that had it... a few of the others did too I only hope that... it was just a dream..." Player said with hurt and sorrow in his voice at what he described to Yang
"I am sure it was a dream besides what could possible take on tough guys like us right?" Yang said trying to Reassure him till she heard his next words
"Clones that could not stop themselves..." Player said with still a sad look as Yang looked like he was not joking and hopped the doctor could hurry up just as she hoped for that the doctor came in and started looking him over
the doctor checked with what he had and then started to put Player through several tests that he could but was baffled by what he found when he was done Yang who was still worried slightly walked over to the doctor for him to turn to her "Could you get professor Ozpin along with his um commanding officer please?" The doctor asked the look on his face Gave Yang a lot of worry as she nodded and went off to find them
soon as she left the room and made it halfway down the hall she heard screaming coming from Player thinking she had to hurry she broke into a sprint to find both Ozpin and Chappy wondering what was going on
**/**\**
as Yang was rushing to find Ozpin and Chappy they themselves were just talking to each other in the teachers lounge over a cup of coffee some of the other clones were there as well enjoying the company of the other teachers while answering a question here and there Oobleck was one that gave Mother some of the coffee he drinks he put the cup down sat down after and passed out Oobleck was confused while preach enjoyed it said it was good might make some hyper but good Oobleck thanked him for the compliment on the coffee while packer checked to see if Mother was in a coma and surprisingly enough he wasn't that was something that is till the door to the teacher's lounge blew open and hit six shooter in the face showing Yang painting and a bit freaked
Packer sighed as he went to go make sure Six shooter didn't get knocked out by the door knob
"Yang where's the fire at?" Switchblade said surprised the girl could do that
"I-its Player he's in the Medical ward of the school the doctor asked for Professor Ozpin and Chappy." Yang panted out as she was trying to catch her breath after running there
"What the what did Player do now?" Chappy said slightly shocked
"nothing that's the thing he went because of a headache then I heard him screaming when I was coming here." Yang said as packer shot his head up
"Screaming? your sure?!" Packer said worried a bit as Yang nodded he got up "Switch watch over Six shooter he will come around in a few Chappy sir we should get going and quick." Packer said as he grabbed his medical bag he keeps close to him
Chappy nodded as Ozpin Yang Chappy and Packer all went to the medical ward quick as they could
***/**\***
by the time they got there the screaming was going on still and when they got in they could see Player being restrained as Packer rushed over to them
"What's going on here?!" Packer said as he got close
"Give me a hand we need to restrain him before we can do anything else!" The doctor shouted as Packer ran over to them
"Player what's going on man talk to me!" Packer said as he grabbed his other arm as he tried to punch the doctor only to catch packer not wanting to hurt anyone
"IT HURTS GOD MY HEAD HURTS IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BLOW UP." Player screamed as the pain he was feeling intensified only for Packer to get it
"Hold him down!" Packer said as he pulled out some morphine from his bag and gave it to him to calm him down as they held him for a few more minutes of Player struggling he calmed down enough to breathe normally and see a bit better
"I-its my head... It Won't stop hurting... pain killers something just get this pain to stop." Player asked as Packer stayed with him and motioned for the doctor that he was alright he will watch him for him
the doctor nodded and went over to Ozpin and Chappy "Sorry about that whatever is causing his pain is in his head we found it but can't make out what it is it looks like tissue but..." The doctor said but couldn't find the word for it Chappy spoke up with just a guess
"Like a chip?" He said hoping he was able to help as the doctor nodded
"Why would a chip be in Players head?" Ozpin said confused a little now but holding his composer
"I don't know we could try to remove it, but his aura is not unlocked we would need to unlock it to try and remove it if it does not get removed itself." The doctor said as Ozpin rose his hand up
"Let's start with his aura and see where that leads us it may help him." Ozpin said as Yang finally speaks up
"Wait you mean Player and the others never had there aura unlocked and a chip in his head?! What's going on?!" Yang said in confusion and frustration
Chappy looked at Yang before speaking up "Yang we are just as confused as you, for now head back to class we will let you know when we know more ok?" Chappy finished hoping that she would let them work Yang's eyes to Chappy flashed red but then returned to normal and she walked to the door only to turn to them
"You better Chappy I do not want to lose a friend.." Yang said and then returned to her class or were her next one was gonna be
Chappy sighed as Ozpin put a hand on his shoulder while the doctor returned to aid Packer and let him know what he was going to do
"Ozpin... was this what you meant last night?" Chappy asked as he looked to the headmaster wondering how those words would turn out to be true so far
"I had a feeling something was off but I had no idea what, this only says that you and your men may need checked to be sure this dose not happen again." Ozpin said as he looked at the LT of the wolf runners only for him to sighs again
"I hear ya Oz, Alright I will let myself and my men be checked out Packer I ask to be last because he might aid the doctor better during all this." Chappy said as Ozpin nodded as they waited to hear how things went
while this was going on Yang finally made it to her next class combat class normally pumped but at this point distracted when she entered she ended up with Miss Goodwitch aiming her riding crop at her
"You miss Xiao long are late." Miss Goodwitch said as Yang was barely stunned by her gaze and tone Goodwitch noticing this decided to find out why "care to tell the class why you were so late Miss Xiao long?" Miss Goodwitch said hoping that she had a good answer
"I was helping Player to the medical ward... then I had to get Headmaster Ozpin and Chappy when we got back he was screaming in pain... I don't know why... I heard something about a chip but... not much else I was asked to return to class and I was gonna be told more later.." Yang replied slightly disheartened not knowing what was going on with her friend
Miss Goodwitch shocked by this lowered her arm and motioned her to take a seat with a look that says I'm sorry for asking Yang nodded and took her seat near her team and team JNRP and CFVY and filled them in as they asked as best she could
as class went on the clones were in the process of seeing what happens when the Aura of a clone is unlocked while the chips in their heads
Player laid still he felt his head start to stop hurting rather quickly as he looked at the doc and the others and put on a big grin "Aura Best morphine and healing treatment ever." He said as Chappy walks up to him
"Well glad you are not in pain anymore doc what about that chip?" Chappy asked the doctor as he started checking
"It's gone seems that his Aura has taken care of it." The doctor said with a smile as Chappy Sighed happy that it was handled
"That leaves the rest of your men Chappy, Shall we retrieve the rest of them for this?" Ozpin said looking at Chappy
"yeah if we all have those chips only a matter of time before they try to burn our heads too, I will be back once I have them gather pilots too." Chappy said as he started heading out of the room
"While he is doing that am I free to go?" Player asked hoping to go find Yang and let her know he is alright
"Sorry Player you gotta rest a while longer." Packer said hiding a grin till the doctor saw it and shook his head then looked to see Player reaction
"Aw come on pack! I feel as fit as a horse!" Player said as he got up
Packer turned to him and gave him a smirk "Go then Player and next time think, it's me when do I not tease you." Packer said with a wide smirk
Player gave one smirk then disappeared as he bolted out literally disappearing and reappearing at the door as he was running
"Woah! what the?!" Packer almost shouted shocked as Player just pulled a disappearing act
Ozpin just smiled as he knew what had just happened but was also impressed that it happened that quick
"Ozpin did what I think happen just happen?" The doctor said impressed
"Indeed it did it seems Player has found his Semblance." Ozpin said impressed still
"Semblance?" Packer said confused and Ozpin began explaining Semblances to him
**/**\**
while they were talking Player was just heading to the current class he thinks Yang and the others would be at thinking she might have told them as well as he blinked he appeared in Miss Goodwitchs class sadly for him it was at the wrong time
two weapons were coming as him as he ducked and slide right out of the way
"Woah." Player said as he got to the wall everyone stopped and stared right at him "Um what? what'd I do?" Player said confused
"You just appeared out of nowhere in the middle of a training match, Speaking of that how did you do that?" Miss Goodwitch said confused herself
"Let's see one minute I was in the hall heading here to check on things next I was in the middle of that when I blinked... hmmm... yeah I got nothing." Player said confused himself at how he got here so quick
"We will have to figure this out later take a seat with the students above if you want to watch, the match will resume now." Miss Goodwitch said as the fight resumed
when Player went to the stands he saw Teams RWBY JNRP and CFVY still staring at him as he walked over and sat down in between them all "questions?" he asked with a slight smirk
"One how's your head?" Yang asked confused if he got out of the nurses office or not
"Fine as can be Doc said he unlocked my Aura and the pain went away seems the others are going to get there's unlocked too." Player answered as he leaned back a bit
"Second question why is that?" Weiss asked confused now
"They are doing it incase anyone else had a chip in their head, and before you ask no I have no idea why or how one was in my head to begin with." Player said answering two questions even if one was unspoken
"Ok third how did you pull off teleporting into the middle of a battle?" Ruby asked wondering how he pulled that off
"Simple I have no idea." Player said still confused at that
"Ok heres one Yang told us a bit about the Nightmare you said you had what caused that?" Coco asked getting into this
Player was silent and looked at each of them as he looked slightly sad "I got a gut feeling that if the right words were said... that chip might have forced me to do something I did not want to do... along with many others." Player finally said as had his head hung low
"Well it's Gone now so that should be fixed right?" Velvet said with a slightly shy tone
Player nods to her with a smile "Yeah and maybe shadow can sleep right, That guy's one of the few of us that look at our Comrades like family given time." Player said as Velvet gave a soft smile
as the fights went on Player was still confused at how he got here so quick then figured he'd ask Ozpin when he could but it left him to wonder how his brothers were doing
**/**\**
while Player was wondering Packer was getting his Aura unlocked last out of the group and most of them got a pretty good idea about what all has been going on
"So think it was gonna be used against the generals?" Shadow asked first breaking the silence but on what the others were thinking
"had to be, It couldn't be anything else I guess the chips were failing for some reason..." Chappy said as he walked over to the table and sighed
"And you believe these 'Cloners' are the ones that put these chips in your heads?" Ozpin asked wondering if those were his thoughts
"Yeah it's my best guess... Now we are Soldiers of Remnant and Vale a new mission, and a new hope for the people here.." Chappy said as he turned to Ozpin "Thanks to everyone here now we won't have to worry about those chips frying our brains." He finished as he smiled
"Yes well I am glad we could help you all." Ozpin said with a smile as he receives a pat on the shoulders from the other men
"By the way how many know what we really are? I mean besides the people around that harbor fight.." Chappy asked to confirm his thoughts
"I am not sure but you and your team are very helpful to us and not many may like that." Ozpin replyed honestly as Chappy nodded
"You know I do feel a little different after my Aura was unlocked, kinda like it helped me with something." Shadow said as he then disappeared as he stepped into the shadows
"Shadow you just disappeared." Chappy said wide eyed as the others were too only for Ozpin to chuckle at it
"It appears that in unlocking your Aura's your Semblence's were unlocked as well, Some of your names seem to portray them." Ozpin said with a smile
"Semblence's wait is that what made your people seem like Jedi?" Chappy asked now confused
Ozpin could only guess that these Jedi did what they were able to do differently to them and just nodded
"Woah so we are like Jedi but not like them nice." Preach said with a smile
"Yeah but like the others here we will need something to keep track of our Aura level's and some back up weapon's." Chappy said finally getting to something that's been bugging him for awhile
"Now you bring up our gear Chappy?" Hawk said wondering why now
"Yes now seemed like the best time, Headmaster Ozpin think you could help us out with that?" Chappy said hoping for a yes
"With tracking your Aura level's yes the weapon's why not ask miss rose for help?" Ozpin said offering a helping hand
"You got a point, I think we will talk to her after class see what we can get figured out, thank you Professor Ozpin." Chappy said as Ozpin nodded and started back to his office
"How long do you figure it will take Chappy?" Shadow asked as he came out from the shadows
"Ozpin will have the tracker's ready Quick, Ruby's work with the weapon's Quick think we may as well ask her she does have a way with weapon's, and maybe we could help make it go quicker." Chappy said as they others kept on and starting to get into design's for there back up weapon's
when they finished talking they tried to find the team
"So Chappy Think Ruby is good at this kind of thing?" Mother asked wondering Ruby's skill at working weapons
Chappy remained silent through there walk while Six shooter spoke up
"We will have to see how good Ruby is at this first, right Chappy?" Six shooter said trying to guess Chappy's thoughts
"Yeah.. I hope that it isn't too much though.." Chappy said with slight concern as the rest of the men node at him
as they were walking they find the team outside their classroom with Player and they stop in front of them
"Ruby you got a minute?" Chappy asked as Ruby turned to him
"Um sure Chappy what is it?" Ruby said as she walked over
"How good are you at crafting weapons?" Chappy asked as Ruby's eyes light up like stars in the sky
"How good am I? I can craft any weapon you need in a short time." Ruby proclaimed proudly
"Alright, a few of us are thinking a few new weapon's to work as fallback weapon's should our's either fail or not work for what's going on." Chappy said with a smile
"We took the time to try and Design them but figured a simple blade fitting each of our own styles while also not adding to the gear we also got, here." Six shooter said as he holds out the paper for her to see
Ruby take's the paper and read's it then looks at them "These are very simple classic's, you sure I could add a few things to these if you want." Ruby offered to them
"Well I-" Six shooter started up as he was cut off
"Why not a Wolf handle or basen for them we are wolf runners." Player said throwing his thoughts into this
"Wolf handle?" Ruby asked slightly caught off guard by that
"Yeah we may not be with wolf pack anymore but we are still wolf runners, so why not a wolf designed handle for the blades and with me just a simple knife is all." Player said with a smile
Ruby looks at the others as they each node and she nodes back at them and starts walking to get to work
"What was that about?" Weiss asked the group
"I asked if Ruby could help us with some weapon's simple blades is all, Some of us were going to help her if she wanted." Chappy said as Weiss sighed
"No I'll go I need to talk to her anyway." Weiss said as she started walking after Ruby
Then Chappy and Packer decided to go and wait for it to be done and went to wait at the doors near the forge
while Chappy and Packer did that the others decided to go off and do there own things Shadow however stopped player as he was going to talk to Yang for a few as Yang and Blake were walking away
"Shadow what's going on man?" Player asked slightly confused
"were you or were you not going to try and tell her how you really felt about her Player?" Shadow asked him when he was sure they were away
"What? how did you? never mind so what if I am Shadow I know you like Blake known sense the 4th day you always end up seeing her from afar, when were you going to finally tell her huh?" Player shot back as Shadow did not look happy but sad
"You should give up Player... it isn't meant to be... besides... Blake is Yang's girl found this out the night I helped them with in issue..." Shadow said as he let Player go
"W-wait what? what do you mean by Yang's girl?" Player said confused a bit and feeling something inside his chest hurt slightly
"It's as I said man... it isn't meant to be Yang and Blake love each other more than friend's let it go man..." Shadow said as he started to walk away leaving Player to stand there only for Player to head outside and think with some fresh air
as player was outside he felt the world around him darken he sat by a tree well away from everyone
-"Yang... loves Blake... I... I can hardly believe it... I guess I was too slow... maybe this is the world's way at saying, ... saying that I am not meant to find anyone... But that doesn't mean I should stop caring, even if I have lost my chance at love... I will make damn sure They are happy... They deserve it... I will have to speak to Blake on it, and be sure she knows even if I end up dying in doing so, I will try to preserve what they have gained Till the bitter end.."- Player thought to himself finally making a choice
when Player stands up and turns to his surprise to see Blake in front of him
"You ok? Player you seemed a bit stressed?" Blake asked slightly concerned
"Yeah yeah I'm fine um where's Yang anyway Blake?" Player asked checking if she was close
"She went to the dining hall for lunch I told her I was going to be there after I checked on something, that being you Player you sure your ok?" Blake asked not buying his he was ok line
"Well in that case then no I'm not sit down please" Player asked as he sat down
Blake sat down next to Player as he sighed and looked at her
"I know about you and Yang's love Blake, and before you think anything bad I won't try to say anything against it to be honest you two do make a cute couple." Player said trying not to make it sound weird
"Wait how did you know this we were going to tell our friends but other then that I... it was shadow wasn't it.." Blake asked thinking he was angry for her slapping him for killing those people
"Yeah it was that was his way of saving me from maken in ass of myself in front of Yang... I had something to confess to her then." Player said looking down sad a bit at this
"What were you going to tell Yang Player?" Blake asked confused at all of this
"That I love her about the same as you..." Player said looking at her
"What?" Blake said even more confused
"Yeah I know shocking a guy like me in love with a fireball like Yang Xiao Long kinda like how someone else I knew who was in love with someone, but I just want you to know that I ain't gonna get between you and Yang like I said you two look cute together... but I would like you to promise me something Blake." Player said to her catching Blake off guard
"And that would be what?" Blake said still confused
"That you two will do your best to live a happy life how you two chose to do that is up to you but I won't let others come in between you two, and that if anything happens to me... I think that having Yang know how I felt for her... I made the choice to let her go but I can't lie to her Blake you know why... just if something happens and I go out protecting you two to keep what you two started safe, at least let her know for me alright?" Player said wanting her to know that he will do what he can to help them
"Why tell me this?... of all people and now?" Blake asked even more confused now more then ever
"Because Blake your Dependable and people trust you past or not long as you don't let it define who you are... you will always find the light even in the darkest of nights." Player said as he laid his head back into the tree and looked at her
Blake kept silent thinking over what was said then nodded to him and stood up "Thank you Player for telling me I will try... ok?" Blake said hoping those were the words needed
Player nodded to her "go get some food Blake Thank you for listening... I am gonna think here a few before heading back inside." Player said as Blake walked off
as Player sat there he heard someone walk over and tap him on the shoulder when he looked he saw Regs standing there
"You ok Player?" Regs asked a little concerned for his pod brother
"Yeah Regs I'm fine it's funny I stop flirting and I fall for a girl only to find out she is with someone else, life sure has a way to throw you a sucker punch huh?" Player said smiling a bit
"Yeah come on Chappy's got a debrief for us, Something's came up." Regs said helping Player up
"Great let's hope it isn't bull crap today." Player said as they jogged to were Chappy was meeting them
as they jogged there way there Player stole a look at Yang as she was passing by the window and then double timed it to the meeting point
**/**\**
at the meeting point Regs and Player saw everyone around even Ozpin and Glynda
"Ok now that we're all here give us what you got Ozpin" Chappy said
"Right there is a possible disturbance around the South Village a ways off of Vale's city, I would like you and your team to check it out if can." Ozpin said with his normal clam tone and a coffee mug well in hand
"Alright." Chappy said as he takes out a handheld Holo and pulls up Vale given to him by Ozpin "So possible disturbance here." Chappy said as a red dot started blinking on it "If so we will take a look Shadow Hawk Regs and Player you four will head down this route here." Chappy said as he lit up a path "Avoid the open fields as you can try to avoid being seen too no need for a panic." Chappy said as he saw the four node "Ok six shooter packer crack shot and preach, Take this route here same drill understand?" Chappy kept on as he saw them node "Alright the rest will be with me as we go in from behind here." Chappy Finished as he highlighted the last route and they nodded
"There is a chance of something happening tonight, Be careful out there." Ozpin said as he and Glynda started walking off only for Chappy to turn to his right and then walk over to it
"Chappy?" Packer asked slightly confused
Chappy stopped and picks up a girl with a red hood as she gave a nervous laugh "So you heard all that didn't you." Chappy said but knowing she must have
"Yup." Ruby said with a sheepish smile
"Your teams not going Ruby." Chappy said outright thinking 'what she was gonna ask
"Aw why not we can help, Please Chappy?" Ruby said with puppy dog eyes
"No I will not risk your lives in this we don't know what is causing it." Chappy said as he was trying to turn her away from it but failing
"Please? Please Please?! We won't get in your way and if it's a danger to vale or beacon we want to help." Ruby said as Chappy was sighing by this point
"I do not want you to get hurt Ruby or the others."Chappy said making a last stand pretty much
"We won't get hurt we'll be careful." Ruby said making her point
Chappy sighed in defeat "Fine but if anything and I mean anything happens, you are taking the fall for what happens to your team understand?" Chappy said with a firm line of it
"I understand Chappy." Ruby said as he let her down and she went off faster than all but two could see
"You sure about that LT?" Player said unsure of this
"What choice have I got, and with it in a small village a ways away from vale's city we will need mav and goose to be ready for hot extract if this thing goes sideways." Chappy said as the two pilots sighed
"Hey we won't let you down boss but hopefully we can get everyone out." Goose said with a reassuring tone
"I know I do too get some rest everyone gear up we leave at 01930" Chappy said as they went off to get prepared for tonight
as the day went on people were getting prepared to go Team RWBY were preparing Weiss still wondering how she got Chappy to agree to this while Yang was pumped for it
