I am too poor to own Team Fortress 2 and RWBY, hell I don't even have an Unusual!
Remnant – Beacon Academy
Two days.
Two days, until Team R.E.D. can finally relax.
Two days, until the Mid-semester vacation starts.
And damn, in these 2 days, time moves at a bitchy slow rate.
Spy felt like he'd been teaching his class for more than 5 hours now, only to check his watch and find out only 15 minutes had passed since his class started. After teaching this class for more than 4 weeks now, he can't help but feel like he's wasting his time away, like stopping and admiring a rose petal while cloaked using the dead ringer in the middle of a firefight and a Pyro is sypchecking like it's at a dance party.
But, at least some good came out of his class. He saw that many of his students have improved immensely, almost coming close to beating him in unarmed CQC. Yang, to be specific, has proved that she can handle herself in close-quarters situations and had successfully beaten the Spy during his class 3 days ago on Monday, thus becoming the first student to be allowed to be absent during CQC class. Pyrrha and Blake are close to beating him as well, having only leaving Spy on 50 health, being the limit is 40 health remaining and the Aura level in the red. After matches, the Medic would heal the Spy with either his medi-gun or the Crusader's Crossbow, or CC when he is too lazy to move from his comfy chair. The CC is a crossbow-like weapon but despite its name, it's not an actual crossbow, instead it's just a stylized air gun. The syringes that acts as the ammo of the weapon is filled with healing liquid, similar to that of the Medi-gun's.
In order to heal the other combatants though, that is a different story. He would only use his Medi-gun on them if it's an actual injury instead of Aura depletion.
Today, though, since Spy was getting bored and kinda got sick from sparring with other students, he decided to give the lesson a twist.
"Change of plans. Everybody, line up here." He pointed to the front of the arena. Everybody promptly did as he commanded as they do not want to be yelled at by him.
"Now, I'm going to randomly pick 2 lucky individuals, and those lucky winners will have to spar with each other. Unarmed!" He said with heavy emphasis on being the 'lucky' winner. Everybody looked at each other, some with nervous glances while others are excited.
"First up…" Spy said as he paced around the students.
"Ruby and Pyrrha!" Spy yelled in front of Jaune, startling him into falling down, earning a few giggles from the students around him.
After a few minutes of getting ready, Ruby and Pyrrha both entered the battlefield. Ruby smiled at Pyrrha, which responded by giving her a thumbs up. The Engineer walked between them, holding a hand up high, before waving it down in a chopping motion swiftly. The fight had begun.
First off, Ruby used her speed and agility to attempt a rush on Pyrrha, which she just dodged out of her way with similar speed. Ruby then launched a few quick jabs at her, and once again getting them blocked or sidestepped. Now, the tables are turned as Pyrrha goes on the offensive, striking at Ruby with strong, powerful punches. She managed to evade them all with her speed semblance and ran to Pyrrha's back and hit her neck with her palm and lowered Pyrrha's Aura level to 79 percent.
Green level was between 100 and 70 percent. Yellow being in the 69 to 40 range and Red in ranges lower than 39. Right now, Ruby was still in the green while Pyrrha was close to yellow. Team RWBY, missing it's R and Y, cheered on for their leader, while Team JNPR without it's R is doing the same for Pyrrha. Pyrrha struck an elbow to Ruby's guts while she was behind her, knocking her back a few feet and groaned in pain. Ruby looked up and saw Pyrrha running towards her, fist ready to fly at her face. Ruby ducked under the fist, which only ruffled her hair and uppercutted Pyrrha, dropping her aura to 57 percent, yellow zone. Ruby proceeded to quickly send quick jabs to Pyrrha's face, which she blocked most of, a few hits managed to connect due to Pyrrha still regaining her footing after being hit. Pyrrha then kicked Ruby in the face, and sending her flying back, with the Aura level dangerously close to red. After sliding a distance away, Ruby didn't seem to move, instead just lay there, unmoving. Pyrrha thought something had happened and rushed to see if she's ok, worrying she hit her too hard.
Spy, who was watching the fight at relatively close range, saw that Ruby wasn't unconscious. He could see that the breathing patterns aren't ones of an out cold person. But one of an opponent laying in wait.
Once Pyrrha was in range, Ruby snapped her eyes open and swept her feet across the ground, making Pyrrha fall to the ground. Ruby jumped up and hit Pyrrha in the guts, finally lowering down her Aura level to the red.
"I did it? I DID IIIITTTTT-"
"The winner is, Pyrrha Nikos."
"-TTTTTT wait what?" Ruby said, confusion lacing her tone.
"1, you pretended to be unconscious on the ground, tricking Pyrrha into believing she hurt you, thus lowering her guard. That is not allowed." Ruby shrunk upon hearing she made a mistake.
"And 2, you already stepped out of the arena once. I just didn't tell you because I want to see you fight." Spy said with a smirk. Now, Ruby was crying in a corner with Weiss and Blake comforting her, while Pyrrha Nikos grinned a bit.
"Still though, Ruby, you showed me that you have a very strategic mind, and you know how to use deception. That is something I can commend you for." Upon listening Spy's statement, Ruby immediately stopped crying and stood up, face blushing and making a 'Thank you' sound before muttering something inaudible, hands cupping her face.
Spy suddenly felt something in his pocket vibrate. He pulled out his scroll and opened it, only to discover Ozpin had sent a message to him. He opened the message, and mouthed it out.
'Please report to my office along with Team R.E.D. now. We have to discuss something.' The message read. Spy announced that class is over for today, hearing a few breaths of relief, before the students exit the combat arena.
After packing up and asking his team to do so as well, they headed for Ozpin's office, wondering what could be so important that needed them to see him immediately.
-Ozpin's Office-
In the office, the sound of turning gears could be heard as Ozpin sat quietly in his rotating chair, enjoying a cup of hot coffee. Ozpin was never seen without a cup of coffee in his hands, leading to others thinking he was addicted to coffee. This theory was debunked later, as Ozpin stated that he did not have one, and he could do fine without it. The elevator to the office opened and made a 'swish-'sound as the occupants of it walked out.
"Ah, Team R.E.D. I'm sorry you had to come here on such short notice." Ozpin said while still drinking his coffee.
"Ozpin, what do ya want us up here for?" Engineer asked as he removed his yellow hard hat.
"Simple. I got a mission for you all." Team R.E.D. tensed up at the mention of a mission. "We suspect the White Fang may be hiding in this area." He said as he pointed at a location on the map, labeled 'Warehouse 10.32'.
"And you want us to investigate it?" Medic asked the headmaster. A nod was his reply.
After studying the map for a moment, the Spy looked up and faced the old man. "When do we depart?"
"Tonight. We need to make this quick."
"Understood." Said Team R.E.D. as they turned around and walked towards the elevator. Spy seemed to notice something as he stopped and stared at a pillar. Engineer saw this and approached him, before Spy facepalmed and called out.
"Ruby, you can come out now." A startled shriek was heard coming from the pillars, which had a single rose petal beside it.
"If you are going to hide, at least do a better job of it. Not wearing that cape and hiding rose petals in there might help" Said Spy sternly as Ruby stepped out behind the pillar, smiling meekly.
"I-I'm sorry, I was just curious!" Ruby said while shaking her hands. Spy facepalmed once again and waved her goodbye, leaving Ozpin to deal with her. Surprisingly, he just let her go. A headmaster, after discovering that a student had been eavesdropping on his conversation about a confidential topic, would've reacted much worse. Nope, not Beacon's.
By 6 P.M, everybody was ready. Weapons checked, equipment inspected and ammo ready, along with a dispenser and sentry toolbox. They hitched a ride on a bullhead provided just for them and gave the pilot directions on where to go.
"Good luck, and stay safe." Said the pilot as the team disembarked near their intended destination, an old warehouse that was abandoned years ago and scheduled for demolition, which the Demoman would gladly do given that he blew things and people up for a living.
Spy acted as the scout, going in first while cloaked and reporting guard locations and armaments to the team. The Medic is currently pocketing the Demoman, with his forest-camouflage painted grenade launcher. Due to a malfunction, only 4 out of the 6 available loading slots are available, but the Demoman just said it was 'The charm of it'. Engineer was setting up his sentry and dispenser outside the area acting as a resupply zone if needed, while Pyro readied his flamethrower and flare gun, ready to torch anybody headed his way.
Spy saw a guard wander outside of the warehouse, performing a patrol around the perimeter. Spy sneaked up to him, knife at the ready and about to stab the Faunus before something black flashed by him and held his hand in place.
It was Blake, with a pleading look in her eyes. Spy understood what she meant and dispatched the man by choking him into submission, just like he did to Weiss the day at the docks.
'Heh, I wonder if she had forgiven me for that.' Spy though to himself, making a smile form on his face. After putting the guard somewhere safe and out of sight, he turned around and saw Team R.E.D. along with the entirety of Team RWBY.
"I should've expected this. Ok, you guys…girls and tag along, but follow our instructions. To the letter. Clear?" Spy said to the girls sternly, but still keeping his voice low. He saw nods and motioned them to advance into the warehouse, sticking by the shadows.
It was going all perfect until Ruby accidentally tripped on her cape, making a grunt and alerting the entire base to her presence.
"Freeze! Drop your.." The White Fang militant had no time to react as Spy punched his face, sending one of his tusk like tooth flying out of his mouth. Now, multiple squads of armed men are running towards them, all with the same goal of eliminating the intruders. They were all quickly dispatched by Pyro, who airblasted them all into the air and Weiss, using her glyphs to send them back to the ground, knocking them out cold. The second group of White Fang was destroyed by Yang and her Ember Celica, firing shot after shot of long range rounds. Ruby handled the last group with help from Blake as her Faunus friend used the ribbon on her gun to propel Ruby around in a circle, while Team RWBY's leader used the blunt side of her scythe to knock everyone out.
In the end, all White Fang members were wiped out through non-lethal means. After the police arrived and took the White Fang militants away, Demoman phoned Ozpin for confirming something.
-10 Minutes later-
"What are you doing in there, Demo?" Engineer asked his Scottish friend.
"Nothin'. Just move 20 steps behind you."
The Engineer did as suggested and looked at the Demoman, who was holding a stick device with a red button on top.
"Don't tell me ya gonna…"
"Yep." Said Demoman as he pressed the button down, sending a signal to the stickybombs currently deployed inside the warehouse to detonate.
The entire warehouse was suddenly engulfed in flames as the all the bombs detonated at the same time. The Demoman yet again pulled out a pair of shades and wore them like he's a badass. After the light show, the team and RWBY headed back to beacon.
-Beacon Academy – Team R.E.D.'s dorm room
"Hey Spy!" Demoman called out, holding his scroll.
"What?" Came his annoyed voice. The Demoman said nothing as he shoved the scroll in his face, making the Engineer and Medic chuckle a bit, with no response from Pyro as he is playing with a balloon of a uniform with it's tail on fire.
Spy took the scroll and saw what was on the screen.
"Demo."
"Ya, laddie?"
"Let's just shut up and let them take my Lien."
"But it's so darn expensive, could'ya 'fford it lad?" Spy facepalmed.
"I earn 10000 FUCKING Lien per month as a teacher at Beacon Academy, along with a 1000 Lien Monthly allowance, do you think I can't afford this shit?" Said Spy as he picked up his own scroll, dialing in a number.
"Hello? This is-" The woman on the other end of the phone didn't even have a chance to finish her sentence as Spy said:
"Shut up and take my money."
