It's OK, Omega is here. What's up guys and girls, including this one there are three more chapters left of Team CFIN. Here are last chapter's references:
Reference 1: Kung Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle 2 is the game that is mentioned in RWBY chibi.
Reference 2: The game they are actually playing is Mortal Kombat, Cyan's character being Baraka and Feirin's being Sub-Zero
Reference 3: The reflex game they play is based off Agent Carolina's training program in Red VS. Blue
Reference 4: The band that Feirin gets is based off My Chemical Romance, a personal favorite of mine.
Today's reference is from my one of my favorite RWBY fanfics(admittedly it's kind of weak, but it was the best I could come up with). Hope you enjoy, what is my longest chapter yet.
"So, what's the mission, headmaster?" Cyan asked. Cyan had quickly gotten his team to Ozpin's office, as he was instructed, much to the dissapointment of Feirin and Iris. The former of whom had just gotten to a song he liked, and the latter had just fallen asleep.
"Tommorow, you four will be sent to a town a little outside of Vale, there have been reports of a new type of grimm there. Your job will be to see if these reports are correct. You will be going on this mission with two huntresses." Ozpin told them, occasionally sipping from his ever-present mug.
"Two?" Cyan questioned. "I thought missions like this were only accompanied by one hunter."
"You're correct. but if I may ask, how do you know that?" Ozpin asked, genuinely curious.
"My aunt really likes to gossip, when she wasn't getting a reaction from me by telling me things about people I didn't even know. She just started telling me things like that." Cyan explained.
Ozpin nodded in understanding before continuing. "As I said, you're correct, but this is a special case. One of the huntresses you will be going with is on something of a probationary period, the other huntress that will be accompaning you is to make sure that everything goes as planned. Two of you actually have personal ties to each of these huntresses."
"Who are they?" Nagami asked.
"I'll let the four of you figure that out on your own." Ozpin said with a smirk.
'TROLL!' Team CFIN thought shouted.
"Now, go prepare for your mission. You leave at 0800 tommorow." Ozpin told them.
Team CFIN followed the headmaster's orders and went back to their dorm to prepare.
"Everyone ready?" Cyan called to his team.
Two "Yeah"s and a nod were the response that he got. They had gotten up that morning like usual and quickly made sure that they had everything they needed for their mission. They had emergency supplies, extra ammo, and they didn't need to worry about food due to Feirin's semblance being able to grow anything they needed.
"Then let's go!" Cyan announced, opening the door of the Team CFIN dorm room.
They began making their way to the docking station, where they would leave for their mission, when Lupa saw them from down the hall and called to them.
"Hey guys! Where are you off to?" Lupa's cheerfull voice asked the team as she made her way over to them.
"We have a mission in some town outside of Vale." Cyan responded, before he remembered something important. He quickly dashed back into his dorm room and came out with the blue wolf plush he had gotten yesterday. Cyan handed the plush to Lupa with a smile. "I forgot to give this to you yesterday."
"Aw, thanks!" Lupa said, taking the plush and simultaneously reaching up and kissing Cyan on the cheek. Seeing Cyan red as her hair, Lupa laughed and started walking towards her first class for the day. "Good luck, guys! See you later."
Cyan stood still a little stupefied, never getting used to stuff like that. The snickers of his teammates knocked him out of his little stupor.
"Go ahead, laugh." Cyan encouraged, malice clear in his voice. "Laugh at the guy who can slice Ursa in two."
That particular remark shut them up, and they continued towards their destination.
When they arrived at the loading docks, they saw two woman who they assumed were the huntresses that were going on the mission with them. The first woman was rather short and had brown and pink hair with eyes to match. Here outfit was primarily white and there was a umbrella hanging from her arm. The second was tall with a mane of golden hair, and lilac eyes. The blonde seemed to be comforting the shorter one, who looked really nervous.
Cyan immediatly recognized the blonde woman. 'I can't believe I get to see Yang after all this time!' Cyan thought, his face morphing into a gigantic grin.
Cyan was about to alert their presense, but Feirin was faster in tackle-hugging the shorter woman.
"Is this what it feels like when I do something strange?" Cyan asked, a little shocked by Feirin's actions.
"Pretty much, yeah." Iris replied instantly, Nagami nodding as she did.
Cyan and the others walked over to Feirin who was just seprating from his hug.
"Care to introduce us, Feir?" Cyan asked before freezing up. "That felt weird, why did that feel weird."
Feirin, deciding to ignore Cyan's comment, wrote his answer. 'This is my big sister, Neo.'
Neo took a small bow, and instead of a notebook, she brought out a scroll and started typing. 'A pleasure to meet you all, Feirin's told me a lot about you.'
They all said their greetings, afterward Cyan wondered something. "Feirin, you have a scroll, right? Why don't you type, I'm pretty sure they make text-to-speech apps?"
'I can write faster than I can type.' Feirin responded.
"And I'm Neo's girlfriend, Yang, not that anyone asked." Yang said, a little hurt that she had been left out of the conversation, so far.
Upon hearing the word, girlfriend, Feirin got a look on his face that Cyan had seen on his little sister's face numerous times. Walking up to Yang, he eyed here up and down and then smiled, and extended both arms. One holding his notebook and the other and invitation to shake hands.
'It's nice to meet you finally, Yang. Anyone who could break my sister out of her shell is okay in my book, or notebook in this case.'
Yang laughed at the joke and shook Feirin's hand. "Likewise, Neo talks a lot about her baby brother."
Once the exchange was over, Cyan decided to add in his own bit of information. "It's great seeing you again, Yang." Cyan told the huntress, upon seeing her confused expression, Cyan introduced himself. "Cyan Matu, at your service."
Recongnition lit up on Yang's face. "Your that kid I saved during the breach! You decided to become a huntsman, huh?"
"Yeah, you inspired me to help people." Cyan smiled. "Although, I would have never made it this far if it weren't for my aunt."
"Really, who is she?" Yang asked.
"Coco Adel." Cyan asnwered.
Yang put her hand on Cyan's shoulder and spoke in a serious tone. "You have my sympathies."
Neo gave a silent laugh at that. 'Your sister said the same thing to me, when she found out we were dating.'
"Remind me to burn her cookie stash." Yang said, before remembering the reason they were there. "Okay, to start off, as you should know by know, my name is Yang Xiao Long and this is Neopolitan. We will be helping you with your mission, which it to search the surrounding forest of the village Mulan and check to see if there is actually a new species of grimm. Mulan is actually the hometown of some friends of mine, but they already had another mission in Vacuo. Everyone clear on the mission details?"
Team CFIN nodded to confirm they understood the mission.
"Then let's go!" Yang grinned, walking towards the bullhead they would be using.
Once they were on the bullhead and it had taken to the skies, Cyan remembered something that had confused him. "Ozpin said something about a probationary period when we were told about the mission. Could you explain that? You don't have to if it makes you uncomfortable, I was just curious." Cyan quickly added the last bit, when he saw how tense Yang and Neo got.
'No, no, it's fine, I was going to explain it anyway. Can't really hide anything from my little brother's teammates, now can I?" Neo typed with a nervous smile. Neo typed for a few minutes before finally showing her scroll to the others. 'Me and Feirin are orphans. We grew up on the streets, desperately tring to make sure we had food to eat, until a man named Roman Torchwick took us in.'
Yang and Feirin both got really tense, when that name wass brought up. Cyan didn't know much about the name other than the fact that he was crime lord.
'In return for the roof over our heads nad the food in our bellies, Roman had us do things that weren't exactly legal. He also hit us to make sure we wouldn't disobey his orders, I took a majority of the hits to make sure Feirin would be okay. Roman's the reason I can't speak, he crushed my windpipe, after I had made a mistake during one of his heists. Now I can't say a word without my throat hurting like hell.
'When Roman was put away for good, courtesy of Yang and her team, me and Feirin were back on the streets. I took small jobs to make sure we could survive, some were legal and others not so much. Eventually, I had enough to send Feirin to Signal, after the stuff we went through he wanted to learn to help protect people. About a month after Feirin started his first semster, I met Yang again. We had fought a couple times when I had worked for Roman, and it wasn't exactly a pleasant reunion.'
Yang seemed to get a look of embarrassment and guilt as she read that part, something Neo took note of, giving the blonde brawler a look that said 'It's fine, stop feeling guilty.'
'Eventually, I got her to listen to me, or technically read me, instead of punch me. When she heard what me and Feirin had gone through, she gave me a place to stay with her and her team. And at some point, we just started dating, and now I'm here trying to use the skills I was forced to learn to try and help people.'
A few seconds passed, there was silence due to the attempt to absorb the information given to them. Cyan decided that he should break the silence and say something.
"Good for you, Neo." Cyan said, a little akwardly since he really wasn't good at comforting people with words, but the feelings were still there. "Things seem to be turning out good for you now. Good fortune always come to those who wait, or at least that's what Yatsuhashi-senpai says."
'Thanks, Cyan.' Neo typed with a smile.
They spent the rest of the flight making jokes and casual conversation, before finally arriving at their destination.
After meeting up with the authorities in the town, and discussing their mission, Yang, Neo, and Team CFIN started searching the surrounding forest for this new type of grimm. Through the next couple of hours, they wondered the forest, seeing the occasional beowolf, but not what they had come here for. Four hours into their mission, the group of six decide to take a break.
Most of the group sat on the ground, the only who didn't were Cyan and Feirin; the former sat on a tree stump, and the latter used his semblance to make a tree out of wildlife.
"I feel like we should have seen something by now." Cyan said, voicing everyone's thoughts.
"It is weird." Yang agreed. "The reports say that a large mass of these grimm appear out of nowhere, destroys parts of the village, and then dissapears with a trace."
"Do we even know what they look li-""CYAN, WATCH OUT!"
Cyan felt swish over his head, as Yang tackled him to the ground. His change in view gave Cyan a better look at his attacker.
It was bug-like with spindly arms and legs, along with bright red eyes attached to a trinagular head covered by the signature grimm mask. There was also white armor covering almost all of it's body, save for a few joints and it's eyes. Also, at the ends of it's arms were long scythe-like blades, and there were dragonfly wings on it's back. Overall, it looke like a giant evil praying mantis.
'How did it seek up behind us!?' Cyan exclaimed in his head. Looking behind the grimm, he saw large hole in the ground. 'It can burrow! Are you shitting me!?'
His teammates quickly adapted, and attacked the grimm intruder. Feirin bound it's limbs with vines, Nagami slice at the chinks in it's armor, and Iris fired bolts into the grimm's red eyes.
"That was a close one, thanks for the save, Yang." Cyan chuckled. He immediatly stopped laughing when he saw the state of the blonde brawler.
Yang had a large slash in her side that was bleeding profusely. Her breathing was labored, and she didn't move despite being awake.
"I think that grimm had some neurotoxin on it's claws, I can barely move." Yang wheezed out as Cyan helped her stand. Despite her injury, Yang gave a throaty chuckle. "Damn, can't believe I'm out of the fight this early."
"We need to get her some medical attention." Cyan said as he handed Yang over to Neo.
After Cyan said that, more holes opened up, and dozens of the bug-like grimm flooded out of the ground, encircling the group.
"DAMMIT!" Cyan cursed, drawing his weapon from his back. "Alright change of plans, Feirin you help Neo carry Yang out of here, Iris and Nagami you guys cover them as they do. I'll stay behind and make sure they don't follow you."
"What! NO!" Iris exclaimed. "We can't just leave you here!"
"Yeah." Nagami agreed.
One of the grimm slashed at Cyan, who blocked it with Dark Tyrant. "That's an order, GO NOW!" Cyan exlcaimed.
"Order or not, you're are leader, we go where you go. I'm pretty sure that's what Feirin wants to say." Nagami said. Feirin nodded to confirm the pink-haired girls assumptions.
Slicing the grimm that was attacking him in half, Cyan activated his semblance, his hand glowing black.
"I said GO!"
In what someone could only call desperation, Cyan's semblacne effected all five of his group instead of just one of them. Their rebellious expressions gone, replaced with ones of fear, they fled the area running as fast their legs could go.
"You realize that you may have had a chance, if you let them stay and help you, right?" Joker asked making sure that Cyan could hear his voice.
Cyan chuckled darkly. 'Yeah, I do, but I had no choice. I'm the only one who had full body armor. One hit from these guys would have paralyzed any of the others, and then it would have been game over."
"Whatever, Dumbass, just know that if we die, I am holding you responsible."
Cyan simply grinned and shoved Dark Tyrant into his chest. At the words "Conquerer mode, engaged." The grimm attacked, and all hell broke loose.
9 minutes later
Cyan breathed heavily, as he dispatched yet another grimm, there numbers not seeming to dwindle in the slightest. He had been using his fists for the past couple of minutes, all of his knives broken. Even his rooks were in pieces, for Cyan had used them to pistolwhip the grimm when the Rooks ran out of ammo. Cyan had tried to keep track of the pieces, so that in the unlikely event that he survived, he could get Aurum to repair them, but the numerous bodies of grimm had made that difficult.
'Joker, I think it's about time you took over.' Cyan told the voice in his head.
'Yeah, I know, just black out already and I'll take care of the rest of them.'
'Sounds like a plan.' with that Cyan did as he was told and blacked out, allowing Joker to take control. Cyan's body filling with brand new energy, Joker grinned under his helmet at the thought of his first real challenge. With a fist drawn back, Joker charged the grimm, letting loose a battle cry as he did.
"BRING IT ON, YOU BASTARDS!"
And that's the chapter. I'm usually not a baked alaska shipper, but I needed a way to include both Yang and Neo, and that's the idea I got. Anyway, see you next time for the second to last installment of Team CFIN, OK is out.
