Sorry for my bad english. Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY make some rules when make a OC, every OC will have to named after a color, something that sounds like a color, something that means some color and something that make you think of a color. With that said, i have one OC that the name not follow that rule.
Fernando's name means something like "adventurous" and "bold adventurer". But Hazashi don't have any meaning to follow Monty's rule. So to make up with this, i will change his last name. Like i am doing with the Team STRK fanfiction. Is not that i don't like his name, but are Monty rules. I thought to put Fernando's last name as Minuano, a cold wind that go through the Brazil and Uruguay.
With his first name, will be like "adventurous wind". Sounds cool huh? Anyway, when come to wind, the first color that come to 90% of the people is the white color. So i think is valid use Minuano as a name.
Now, this will be the only change so far. I don't plan to change something more on this fic. Ceodore's name will not change, i will tell the reason for that later, but for now, to the fic.
Old library
The man was reading one of the many books he have. Until his ears caught the sound of footsteps. He look ahead and saw the Dark Knight.
-I never thought that would see you again. -He said. -I told you everything that i knew about miasma. Why are you here?
-I fought against a strange woman a couple of months ago.
-Uhh. What thing come from the Dark Knight's mouth.
Miles ignored the mocking tone of the old man.
-She somehow have control of the weather and wasn't her semblance.
-How could you know?
-She tried use her semblance before control the weather. -The old man keep looking to his book. -I want to know if have more people like her.
This time, the old man close the book with force and raise his head to look at Miles.
-With what purpose Arcadian?
-This is my business sage. -The old man sighed. They stand in the place without move for a couple of seconds, then Miles raise his hand to grab something that come from behind him. It was a book. He look to the cape and raise a eyebrown to the sage. -The four maidens?What this fairy tale have to do with this?
He look at Miles through his glasses.
-Everything.
After talk to Pyrrha and leave the room, Ceodore walk to the dormroom of the guy who he buy the outfit to the Dance. Of course still have some eye looking at him with suspicious, but he decide to ignore. Was like before, when the world discovered about him. Every time someone heard his name, start to look at him like his classmates were doing right now. After so long, he learn to ignore. He couldn't do anything really, not after be infused with miasma.
Miasma.
The main reason of everything is happening to him right now.
He wonder how would be his life if miasma didn't exist. His family would be alive, but he would never meet Miles. How could be his combat skills if...
Cold.
He feld a cold run through his spine, but couldn't be.
-No. It can't be. -Ceodore walk to where he felt the cold. He know that he only would feel that cold in his spine when he is close to... -Miasma? Here in Beacon? -He asked to himself. -H-how? Ozpin know about that? -He keep following the cold sensation until reach to one dormroom. The same dormroom that he was already going. -W-What?
He didn't know what to think. He knock the door, but got ready to anything that would happen. He heard footsteps and the door open revealing a guy with spike brown hair, black eyes and a scar on the middle of his nose. The guy who he was going to meet.
-What? -He asked.
-Uuh. I-i am Ceodore.
-And i am the queen of Atlas. I know who you are. You come for the formal outfit, right?
-Is you who have it?
The boy walk back to his room and came back with a formal attire on his hand. Ceodore look to the attire but notice something flowing from the guy's left arm.
-Miasma. -He whispered.
The guy's expression was blank until he grap Ceodore by the scarf and dragged him to his room. Both unaware about the presence of Emerald who was following Ceodore and she heard what he whispered. Whatever they gonna talk, she need to listen.
Fernando's office
Ruby enter in the blind samurai room and saw that he wasn't moving a muscle. She walk to him and wave her hand in front of his glasses, but no response come from the blind man. She touch his glasses slightly and Fernando raise his head, scaring Ruby.
-Hmm. I fell sleep again. -He got of his glasses and rub his eyes. -Good that Glynda didn't see me sleeping or else. -He scretch his arms and felt some hair on the palm of his hand. -Who's there?
-Mr Minuano?
-Ruby, no enter in the others room like that. Is not very polite.
-Sorry, but i kinda need your help.
-With what?
-Wait a minute please.
Fernando raise a eyebrown, then come from the door Yang, what means she break the door like glass.
-Ruby! You are okay!
-And why she wouldn't be Xiao Long? -Asked Fernando.
-She send to me a message that she need help!
-Don't you think that exaggerate at this a bit... ow. I think i get it.
-What?
-Sit down you two. -Yang look to her sister who obeyed Fernando, then she sit down too. -Xiao Long, why did you break my door like that?
-I'm sorry sir, but when my sister need my help, i have to demolish everything on my path.
-Even defenseless doors? What my door even did to you? -Ruby giggle a little. -Do you not think that you overdid a little?
-I have to protect my sister. No matter what.
Fernando just stand on the chair. Was hard to know if he was looking to Yang considering that he never move his head to talk with someone, unless if he is serious.
-Rose. -He directed his attention to Ruby. -She is always like that?
-Only when i come to Beacon.
-Hey, that's not...
-Only talk when i give you permission Xiao Long. -Yang didn't know how she got herself in that situation, but would bet anything that Ruby planned this. -So, why is she start to act like that?
-... Ceodore.
-Ow.
-But i have a good reason for that! -Shouted Yang.
-And what would be that reason Xiao Long?
-He is his apprentice.
-And what him have to do with this? Ceodore is not the Dark Knight.
-His... his miasma.
-Ahh. You are worried that he may infect Ruby.
-He infected Pyrrha.
-She is not infected.
-But a lot of students saw him infecting her.
-Look, i don't know exactly what happened in the courtyard in that day. But i'm sure that Ms Nikos is not infected. -Fernando felt that Yang still didn't believe in that. -C'mon, you saw her in the combat class. She is healthy as ever.
-We don't know that yet.
Fernando make what would be a think face. Again, is hard to know what expression he is doing with that glasses.
-She have a point. -Ruby eyes widened. -Well, miasma is on the biggest misteries of Remnant. We don't know yet the full extention of what that energy could do. But still, you are only making assumptions based on Miles, not Ceodore.
-A student is a figure of his master.
-Really? So tell me about Ruby's master. How is the person who train her?
-Well, his name is Qrow Branwen...
Atlas
Military Laboratory
The scientist enter in his laboratory. He start to check in his computer the status of his "daughter". After heard about the problem she have in Beacon, he need to check if her body show some resistance against miasma.
-Doctor Polendina?
Speaking of his creations.
-Crimson? I didn't notice that you was awake.
-I wasn't sleeping either.
-You need to sleep Crimson.
-I don't see any reason since i can just recharge my batery.
-Something is bothering you Crimson?
The A.I. was silent for a minute until decide to speak.
-Yes doctor Polendina. There's something that is bothering me lately.
-What is?
-Why Penny can walk freely while i have to be stuck here in the laboratory?
The good doctor stop to press the keyboard of the computer. The question get him by surprise. He turn around to look on the red eyes of his "son".
-General Ironwood think that you are not still ready to walk around alone.
-I don't understand.
-It is the folks of Remnant, they are not ready to know about you. They don't even ready to know about Penny.
-But my design make me similar to a faunus, just like Penny seems a human, but i still stuck here in the lab.
-Penny is just a prototype like you. We have different way to use both of you. Your way will be more different. We are using her to see if she can relate with the innocents without they know about her true nature.
-Doctor, are you not lying to me, aren't you?
Yes. The doctor was lying to his older "son". But he speaks a little of true. The militaries didn't know how Crimson would act when out of the base.
-Of course not. I swear Crimson. One day, you will walk around as much you want.
He want to believe in his creator, but something in his voice sounded very hopeless in Crimson's opinion.
Fernando's office
-Y'know, he don't seems like Ruby, except for the combat skills.
-Can you say tha with just everything that i said?
-He is a rude man, blunt, cynical, cocky and immature sometimes. -Neither Ruby or Yang could say that he was wrong. -But when come to you two, he show a more sensible side of his nature. I can see how he care about you two by the way you talk about him.
-So he and Ruby are pretty similar like Ceodore and his master. -Yang responded.
-Almost. I never see Ruby being rude on disrespectfull with someone for any stupid reason. -Ruby make a V with her hands. -But i admit that she is immature sometimes.
-Hey!
-But the point is, you can't deny that Ceodore live a normal life of a student since the day he come. Can you? -She can't. She didn't want to be close of him, so she don't know him better than Ruby, Pyrrha or even Weiss. -But i think that the problem is more personal than that.
-Why did you say that? -Asked Ruby.
-Listen Rose. I wish to have a word alone with Yang.
She nodded and leave.
-Uhh. Why only me?
-What's the name of the person?
-W-what?
-The person that gone from your life. What is the name?
-How did you know?
-There are various reasons to someone start to be overprotective to someone. But a big sister be overprotective, the reasons that come to my mind are: something very bad already happen to Ruby on the past, you lost someone who was closer of her and you are for that reason taking care to this not happen to her and finally is related with the Dark Knight. -Yang's gaze go direct on the floor. Fernando really know how to read someone. -Anyone would say that was the third option, but you never meet him before and Ruby neither. Leaving only two options. Or is the opti...
-Summer. -Yang interrupted Fernando.
-... and who she is?
-R-Ruby's mother.
-It seems that she is not longer around, right? -Yang's silence was the answer. -She was a good mother to you too huh? I not gonna go deeper in that matter, but you don't think that overprotective nature of your is because of her?
-What do you mean?
-You was just a little girl when she... gone right? -Yang nodded. -She's gone leaving Ruby with you, this make you adopt that nature because you are too much affraid of lose Ruby, and this thinking stay on your mind since you was just a little girl until the days of today. Everyone is scary to lose some beloved, but what would happen if you not be around to protect her?
-This not gonna happen! -She shout. -I will be always close of her to protect her!
Fernando sighed.
-Protect her from what? Why become a huntress if you will be protecting her all the time? Why learn to fight if you gonna take care of everything? Start with that, then will be with potential friends until you try protect Ruby from herself. Time by time, she will need your help, but you need let her call for your assistance.
-But if she need my help and i not be around and she not be able to call me for help?
-So you will have to trust in her skills. She is training to be a huntress just like you, you are her sister, you should know how good she is. Besisdes, you are not the only one around that can help her.
Yes. Yang know, but she know that Ruby sometimes put herself in some dangerous situation, like in the initiation. But Weiss help her, and her team took down the Nevermore, together. Then come to Yang's mind. If she not be around for Ruby, she can trust on Weiss to help her. And Blake too. Her mind came back to the night that she and her team walk to Vale to find Blake and she was the one who needed be saved. Surely without her aura, the shot from Torchwick would killed her, and her little sister saved her.
But there is the problem of Ceodore. She don't want to Ruby keep walking with him, no after what happened to Pyrrha. But Ruby still consider him a friend, Weiss too. Not matter what happen, their friendship keep strong. Different with the way she is with Ruby and Weiss. They are a team, but she don't trust in their judgement, even that Ceodore didn't make anything wrong since the day Ruby meet him. She was so sure that Ceodore would hurt Ruby in someway that every time she see the apprentice, she could only see the master, just like everyone else.
It was like blame Ruby for the problems that her uncle caused.
-I still don't want Ruby be close of Ceodore. -She said more to herself, but Fernando heard that.
-You already have a friend that you father didn't liked, right?
Yes, she have. Due her attitude, of course sometimes she start to hang out with some bad boys. But even with the protests of her father, she keep hanging out with them, because she knew that behind their hardcore attitude, they are... good... guys...
-Oh. -Was all Yang said.
-So you notice?
-I'm more worried with the fact that i owe a friend some liens. He was right, i actually act like my father sometimes.
-Trying to protect your sister of someone good?
-I still don't trust on Ceodore, BUT, Ruby consider him a friend. If is what she want, i will not interfere. But any sign that something is wrong with Ruby, he will have a date with my fists.
-We done here, then. You can leave.
Yang left the office and saw Ruby standing on the side of the door. Her silver eyes look direct on the lilac ones. Was a uncomfortable silence until Yang spoke.
-You want to go to the cafeteria? They... are serving some sweets today.
Ruby smiled.
-Yes.
The sisters start to walk together and Fernando who was able to listen everything from his office smiled.
-I should write a book. -He said.
Cinder dormroom
Cinder couldn't believe in what miasma can do. The best part is that the militaries and scientists of Atlas don't even make a idea of what can be done with the evil energy.
-Are you sure that you listen right? -Asked Mercury not believing in her words, of course. -Don't seems possible if you ask to me.
-This come direct from the ninja boy's mouth and Ceodore felt the miasma on his body. -Said Emerald. -What more proof you need?
Mercury was about to answer but notice Cinder looking at him with a strange look. Then he notice that she was looking to his legs.
-Uhh, boss...
-You two. -Cinder spoke. -Go find the man who did that to that boy.
Mercury eyes widened.
-Wait, you are not planning...
-Yes, i am. -Cinder interrupted Mercury. -If what Emerald heard be truth, we gonna have a good advantage.
-But we don't know what gonna happen to me.
-That boy seemed fine and Emerald said that he was with miasma make two years. Any normal human would have died already. You are thinking that you are not strong enough to survive?
Now she was teasing him.
-You are speaking with a professional. -Mercury spoke. -Of course i can resist.
-Good. Now go with Emerald to Vale to find that man.
Mercury leave the room, Emerald roll her eyes and go after him. On the corridor, Emerald asked.
-Do you know that she just manipulated you, right?
Mercury stop the walk and groaned.
End of the chapter. Who follow my OC fiction what i doupt that is someone here will know who is the ninja boy. Cinder is planning something involving Mercury's physical state and Ceodore found someone with miasma in Beacon. Yang still not trust on Ceodore, but will let Ruby be his friend without meddle in their friendship.
I will only change Fernando's last name, but i will put in the final of the chapters the meaning of the names of my OCs to show that i'm following Monty's rules to OCs. This is all for now. The Dance will be in the next chapter. Until next time.
