A fair heads up, I originally planned to reveal Relius's semblance in the volume two portion of this story. However, after redoing the story draft I decided to reveal it in the volume three portion of this story. Since the reveal will be better handled with the events I have in mind.
Chapter 23 quality time with friends
(Professor Ozpin's Office)
The headmaster of Beacon along with Professor Goodwitch is currently looking outside the window on a peaceful day waiting for the arrival of one of their dearest friends and closest allies, General James Ironwood. A few hours earlier they had received a notice about his arriving and they are anticipating his arrival. Though moments later as they were waiting, the both of them had saw several airships fly to Vale in proper formation.
"Ironwood likes to take his work wherever he travels to." Professor Goodwitch commented with a bitter tone
"Considering the fact that the General runs both the schools and the military, it's safe to assume that he can be a very busy man. Though bringing all these troops here can be a bit of an eyesore." Ozpin commented to Goodwitch. After a brief moment, Professor Ozpin's desk had given off a notice and the headmaster knew what it was.
"Come in." Professor Ozpin said before General Ironwood had entered along with another individual. The individual is wearing a black suit with a black fedora to match
"General Ironwood it has been too long. How have you been doing?" Professor Ozpin said
"Ozpin we're good friends, we can drop the formalities with each other. It has been too long since we last saw each other." General Ironwood said before lightly chuckling
"Glynda, it's good to see you again as well. Why it has been too long since we last saw each other." General Ironwood said
"Oh James you old flatterer, you haven't changed a bit." Professor Goodwitch said with a strong hint of sarcasm
"James, who might this man be who's accompanying you?" Professor Ozpin said looking at the black suited man
"Oh yes I almost forgot to introduce him. This man is the head of the intelligence department of Atlus Military. He will be here doing some work in Vale, but only for a short period. I wanted you two to meet so you will know that my soldiers and duties is handled by one the best." General Ironwood said introducing his subordinate to Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch
"General you give me too much praise for the type of work that I've done. If anyone is deserving of praise it's you and Winter for putting up with my eccentric habits. But I should get to the introductions. My name is Hazama and as General Ironwood said the Head of the Intelligence department." Hazama said introducing himself to the headmaster and the professor
"It's not often that I come across an Atlus civilian who doesn't disclose their last name." Professor Goodwitch said to Hazama
"Well when I was old enough I had it legally removed. I've done some sensitive work in the past and the less connections people make the harder it'll be for my enemies to find me. Some call it paranoid but I call it caution. Though I know a good deal about you Glynda Goodwitch, and you as well Ozpin. Why the General told me a lot about you, he trusts you a great deal." Hazama said having his hand on Professor Ozpin's shoulder maintaining his casual tone
"Hazama, I must insist that you show the proper respect and tone towards the Headmaster." Professor Goodwitch said in a bold and slightly frustrated tone
"It's alright Glynda, I must admit that its refreshing to see someone act casual around me. It also helps that if he has James's trust then I'm sure that he's a very capable individual." Professor Ozpin said
"I appreciate the kind words my dear Headmaster, now if you'll excuse me I must get back to my duties. I'm certain I'll be seeing you around soon enough Headmaster, and you as well my beautiful little witch." Hazama said maintaining his casual tone (Which still irked Professor Goodwitch) before he left
"I'll be stepping out as well sir." Professor Goodwitch said to the Headmaster before she left as well, leaving General Ironwood and Professor Ozpin alone together
"I see that Glynda hasn't changed after all this time. I had a feeling that she wouldn't have a good first impression on Hazama." General Ironwood told Ozpin
"I see that as well James but it's as I told Glynda, it is refreshing for someone to be casual around me. Still I am fully aware at how formal you can be, so if he's head of the Intelligence Department then he must have done some good work." Professor Ozpin said regarding Hazama
"Yes, he has done some good work and brought me a good deal of results." General Ironwood responded
"Still I must admit that seeing you here is also a surprise. First a Professor from Haven Academy has arrived, then you came. Though I must admit that the difference is that the Huntress that came did not bring an army." Professor Ozpin commented remembering when Baiken arrived
"Can you blame me for being cautious, travel between Kingdoms is becoming increasingly difficult and I want to do my part to ensure the safety of the people of Vale. Besides your hosting the Vytal festival this year and I figured that this would be a good chance for us to properly catch up." General Ironwood briefly explained
"I do appreciate the chance to spend quality time with a friend. Though seeing your army is a bit concerning." Professor Ozpin said
"Oz, you know as well as I do the real reason as to why my troops are here. Especially with who I've encountered a few days ago." General Ironwood told Ozpin
"I know, so who did you encounter?" Professor Ozpin asked
"Me and my soldiers had a run in with one of the Six Legendary Heroes, Hakumen." General Ironwood told the Headmaster with Ozpin having a focused look before Ironwood continued explaining
"Ozpin, you know as well as I do that there are threats out there that is lurking around at every corner. But I fear that there is a hidden threat out there that's on the move and is trying to escape our notice." General Ironwood told Professor Ozpin
"So with this thought, you believe that Hakumen is connected to this threat or has an idea of what's going on?" Ozpin asked the General
"You have to admit that it's strange, after killing the Aura Beast the Six Heroes left without a trace. Then one day, Hakumen showed up looking no worse for wear. Hakumen knows what is going on and we needed to get to the bottom of it." General Ironwood told the Headmaster in a bold tone
"But don't you think that your handling this the wrong way. I know that there are a lot of mysteries surrounding the Aura Beast and the Six Heroes. But stuff like that needs to be handled with care and tact." Professor Ozpin advised to General Ironwood
"It's not just Hakumen, there are also a lot of questions regarding the Aura Weapons that is still unanswered to this day. My science team has been trying to find ways to recreate Aura Weapons, but with Kokonoe and Lord Tenjo not working with me on the matter it makes things frustrating." General Ironwood briefly explained to Ozpin
"James, the details of those weapons are kept secret for a reason. Besides we already have our hands full with our current set of priorities." Professor Ozpin told General Ironwood
"I understand that, but I can't help but be concerned about how this will affect all of us in the long term. Within the past two years I've seen what people have been working on within the Murakumo Labs that's been shut down and it's frightening to think what they've done in those labs. If the people within those labs have sided with our enemies, then we need to do whatever we can to tip things in our favor." General Ironwood explained to Ozpin with him listening to every word
"I understand your concerns James, but remember that we need to keep a level head about this. Bringing your army here could give the wrong impression and if this backfire then it will be disastrous for everyone." Professor Ozpin said in a concerned and cautious tone causing the General to leave. Though before the General left, he turned and spoke to the Headmaster further
"This is a school that is training children to be our protectors. Do you honestly think that your students can win a war when the need arises?" General Ironwood asked before he left Professor Ozpin's office
"Hopefully James, they wouldn't have to fight in a war." Professor Ozpin muttered after General Ironwood left
(Beacon Training Room)
Bang and Kagura has been friends ever since they were kids. Even though they are some level of hostility towards each other. That is on the surface since beneath all of the banter they trust each other a great deal. Currently Bang and Kagura are making use of the training room getting some sparring done before more students arrive from the other schools.
The both of them has spent a few minutes fighting against each other. Kagura had swung his massive sword at Bang. Reacting quickly Bang had jumped over the sword swing and threw one of his nails at Kagura. Seeing the nail being thrown, Kagura had reacted and grabbed the nails that was thrown at him. After grabbing the nails, Kagura had thrown them right back at Bang. Seeing the nails being thrown right back, Bang decided to block each of them with his gauntlets. As Bang was blocking the nails, he decided to pursue Kagura hoping to attack him at close range.
Though once Bang had gotten close, Kagura had smirked and proceeded to go through with his plan. First Kagura had waited until Bang had gotten close. When Bang had thrown his punch, Kagura quickly blocked the punch with his sword. While the attack was blocked, Kagura had used his massive sword to launch himself into the air which briefly surprised Bang. While in the air Kagura had proceeded to use his semblance and threw purple razor winds at Bang. The ninja tried to block the razor wind, but unfortunately this prevented Bang from stopping Kagura from landing near his sword.
Once Kagura had recovered his sword, he continued to throw his razor winds at Bang. Bang had decided to throw his nails at the razor winds to block them. Once Kagura had gotten close he had swung his massive sword at Bang in a downward cleave. Reacting quickly Bang had managed to block it, though the weight of the sword proved to be more than what Bang was prepared for and struggled to move. After swinging his sword, Kagura had let go of it and ran around Bang successfully getting behind him. While Kagura was behind Bang, he had managed to throw a strong punch at him causing him to be moved to the side while staggered. Fortunately for Kagura, he had the perfect opportunity for a victory and he decided to seize it. While Bang was trying to recover, Kagura had quickly retrieved his sword and swung his sword in a circular motion while attacking Bang. After the last attack Bang was knocked down and when he looked at his scroll his aura was in the red.
"Looks like you win this round Kagura." Bang told Kagura accepting his loss with grace and pride
"As of now I'm ahead by one, still you managed to hold your own during our match. I do have a few ideas for you to improve your weapons, but we'll save that for another time. I have to admit though, even though the strong scent of sweat still hasn't died down after all this time. It's still nice to spar with you once in a while." Kagura said as he was helping Bang get up
"The feeling is mutual Kagura, though I wish that I have made significant progress with mastering my Aura Weapon." Bang told Kagura causing him to think deeply
"I'm a bit curious about it as well Bang. It's been a few months and you said that you only managed to use it once right?" Kagura asked
"Yes, though master had told me the function I can't recall being told how to use it. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure how I used it the first time." Bang said slowly getting despondent
"Don't worry too much about it Bang. Knowing Lord Tenjo she probably trusts in your abilities to learn how to use it. It is strange though, Aura Weapons choose their masters but from what I can tell you're the first person to be given one. I guess there are some more requirements that we don't know about regarding Aura Weapons." Kagura explained his thoughts to Bang
"I see, in that case then I must learn how to use it soon." Bang said determined to master Phoenix Rettenjou
"By the way, I never did get the chance to meet some of your teammates. So, would you mind introducing me?" Kagura asked in a smooth tone
"You know I would introduce you Kagura, but unfortunately everyone is off doing their own thing and I don't know where they are." Bang responded (though is glad he doesn't have to stop Kagura's perverted antics)
"Hey Bang, there you are." Bullet said after entering the training room (Causing Bang to mentally facepalm at the ironic timing)
"Well who do we have here?" Kagura asked (ready to scan Bullet's measurements)
"Hello Bullet, um what are you doing here?" Bang asked in a slightly nervous tone
"I got finished with my assignments and I was looking to train. Now that you're here, it looks like you can be my training partner." Bullet had answered Bang (while getting eyed by Kagura)
"Hmm Busty and large, my kind of preference for her chest. Enough to give Yang a run for her money. Her behind is nothing to scoff at either, especially in that outfit. Looks like you have good taste Bang, I'd give her a good grade of an A." Kagura said after he analyzed Bullet before speaking
"So Bang why don't you introduce me to her?" Kagura asked mentally preparing his pick-up lines
"Right, this is my teammate Bullet. She is one of the members of the team that I'm the leader of, team BLST." Bang briefly explained
"You know I have an idea Bullet. How about you train with me instead of Bang? I mean I have a lot of experience and I bet it would be a rewarding experience for you to see how to fight against large sword users." Kagura asked
"No thanks, I've lost too many spars against Bang and I need to improve on my shortcomings so there won't be a repeat of what happened last time." Bullet said remembering her fight with Roman and Neo
"If you're looking to train how about we make it a two vs one fight Kagura." Mai said after entering along with Hibiki
"Hibiki you're not here to keep an eye on me, are you?" Kagura asked (Frustrated at Hibiki's timing)
"No but I did come here to get some training done with Mai. But before we arrived we overheard you trying to train with Bang's teammate. Since you have energy to spare, then how about you spar with me and Mai. I'm sure it will be a workout you won't be forgetting about anytime soon." Hibiki said ready to draw his swords.
"You know what, I'll take a rain check on that fight." Kagura quickly responded in a slightly despondent tone
"Say where is your teammate Tsubaki?" Bang asked
"She was invited by Ruby, Yang, and Weiss to play a board game with them along with her old friend Makoto. Something about a chance to get some info." Hibiki answered
"Hmm a chance to see a group of girls together. This is an opportunity I should make use of." Kagura thought but not before Hibiki caught wind of it
"Don't even try it Kagura, to this day we're still getting threatening messages from the various women you've consistently angered with your antics. It is honestly hard to tell whether they hate you or love you. I just hope Jaune doesn't pick up on your infamous tendencies." Hibiki said much to Kagura's embarrassment
"I knew your shameless habits would surface in Atlus Kagura. Mai, did he try to peep on you and Tsubaki?" Bang asked
"Yep, it took us beating him to a pulp after he kept trying to peep at us for about a week just for him to stop. Though now that I think about it, I have a strong suspicion that he is still trying to peep." Mai answered Bang in a blunt tone
"Come on, is it my fault that I'm in the presence of such lovely ladies? It is in my nature to be appreciative for the worlds natural beauty and women are just a part of it." Kagura said spreading his arms out though accidentally groping Bullet (Though secretly glad he did)
"Kagura move your hands NOW." Bullet said in an angry tone
"I'm sorry but my mind has briefly wandered off so I can't feel a thing." Kagura said in a tone of bliss
"THEN YOU'LL FEEL THIS!" Bullet said before she punched Kagura with enough force causing him to be smashed back to a nearby wall
"Looks like he's unconscious, don't worry he went through worse back in Ronin-Gai." Bang told the small group
(The Library)
The air is tense within the library between an intense board game match between Yang, Makoto, Ruby, and Weiss. With Tsubaki watching to support her friend Makoto. Prior to the group playing the board game, Blake was bothered by a few things so she was unable to play with her team so Makoto took her place. As of now Weiss has an incentive to win because of a bet she made with Yang. If Yang beats Makoto and Weiss, then Weiss must tell the whole team how she initially met Jin. Though if Weiss or Makoto wins, then Yang will never ask how they met ever again. Ruby is aware of the bet but she is the wild card, mainly due to Weiss's inexperience with the board game.
"Alright, judging by this hand I should be set." Ruby said looking at her hand before declaring her challenge
"Yang Xiao-Long prepare your kingdom for battle!" Ruby declared to her sister
"Bring it on!" Yang responded ready for the challenge from her sister
"I deploy, the Atlesian Air Fleet!" Ruby said with energy which frightened Yang
"You fiend!" Yang said
"Uh oh, this doesn't look good for you Yang." Makoto said while smirking
"It looks like I get to fly over your Ursai and I can attack your walls directly. Also since Atlus is part of Mantle, my repair time only lasts for turn." Ruby said maintaining her excitement
"Not bad sis, but now is the time to activate my trap card GIANT NEVERMORE!" Yang said with her energy matching her sister's
"No, you wouldn't do that to me!" Ruby said in a surprised tone
"If I roll a seven or higher then fatal feathers will slice your troops in two." Yang told her sister
"But if it's a six or lower, then the Nevermore will attack your troops instead." Ruby told her sister in a warning tone
"I'm more than willing to take that risk. Now I roll the dice, come on heart of the dice be the number I need." Yang said before she rolled the dice. After rolling the dice the number ended up being an eight.
"NOOOOO!" Ruby yelled in a dramatic fashion
"Now that your troops are gone, I can claim my rewards and thanks to the Mistral trade routes my rewards are doubled this turn. Now let's see my rewards, ooh this is going to be a good one. Now it's your turn Makoto, but remember just because we're friends I will still dominate you." Yang told Makoto
"Please, I play this game a lot back in Atlus and I always win." Makoto said in a confident tone
"But don't you normally win when you play against Noel one on one and by cheating when you play against me?" Tsubaki said in a blunt tone
"You can't prove that Tsubaki." Makoto said before she focused on the game
"Alright I activate my card, The Underground Attack Force!" Makoto said
"You would dare play that card Makoto?" Yang asked surprised at the boldness
"Looks like you know what this card can do for me. This card allows me to attack you past your walls and not only can I claim an early reward. But I can also weaken your troops by the roll of a dice. As an added bonus you can't attack during your next turn." Makoto said
"Not bad, if you hadn't activated my trap card. It is called The Traitor within!" Yang said
"Clever move Xiao-Long." Makoto said
"At the flip of a coin I can stop your attack, if I call it right the attack is reversed and I call heads." Yang said after activating her trap card
"But if you call it wrong, my attack continues and I get double the reward." Makoto responded before a coin was flipped. After the coin was flipped it came up heads and Makoto ended up throwing her arms up in agony and disbelief
"Nooo That was my last chance at a comeback, you just got lucky Yang." Makoto said holding Ruby in a depressed fashion
"Don't worry Makoto, we just have to be strong for our fallen. We can get through this together." Ruby said while consoling Makoto as well
"Weiss it's your turn, think you can turn this around and win from our bet?" Yang said in a slightly daring tone
"What bet do the two of you have?" Jaune asked after overhearing Yang's comment
"Oh it's just something between us girls on our team." Yang said trying to avoid the specifics
"Well let's finish this game up and I believe it's your turn Weiss. So please avenge my troops and beat my sister." Ruby said pleading with Weiss to win
"You would dare stand against me, you will regret this moment Ruby." Yang declared to Ruby
"Um, what am I supposed to be doing?" Weiss asked with Ruby going to Weiss and decided to help her
"Let's see, ooh this is nice you have all the pieces of the combo cards. Now all you have to do is lay them down on the board." Ruby instructed Weiss
"OK" Weiss said in a confused tone before she laid down her entire hand, with each card revealing a black colored head with red lines that also has red eyes
"NOOOO, how can you play that card?" Yang asked in a distressed tone
"Um what did I just do?" Weiss asked still confused since she's new to the game
"Weiss, my wonderful teammate has activated the Aura Beast combo card. When she has the full set in her hands she gets an automatic win." Ruby explained
"Hahahahaha, at last my strategic brilliance has allowed me to triumph." Weiss said in a confident and triumphant tone
"You're right, those combo cards does allow you to automatically win . . . . unless I activate my trump card. Which I must regretfully do." Yang said in a despondent tone before laying down a card
"That card is called, The Legendary Six. Uh oh." Makoto muttered with a look of fear
"Um, is that bad?" Weiss said
"For you it is, this card can only be played when the Aura Beast combo card has been used. This nullifies the combo card and it becomes my automatic victory. Looks like it's my win as the conqueror of Remnant." Yang said in a triumphant tone
"Noooo, luck has played a role in your victory, I demand a proper rematch." Weiss said as she was crying while being consoled Ruby and Makoto
"Be strong Weiss, we shall have our chance another day." Ruby said
"I never thought that I'd be seeing this side of Weiss." Tsubaki muttered to herself
"Something big must have happened for you guys to be acting like this." Sun said after entering with his friend Neptune
"Hey Sun, haven't seen you since our amazing food fight. That team RWBY managed to win with relative ease." Yang said maintaining her confident and triumphant tone
"Who's your friend Sun?" Ruby asked
"This is my best bud Neptune, we're on the same team together." Sun said introducing his friend
"What's up everyone, you know I see a lot of you guys having fun. But isn't a library supposed to be a place for people to study quietly?" Neptune asked
"THANK YOU!" Ren yelled who heard Neptune's comment
"Hey where is Blake, isn't she normally with you guys?" Sun asked in a concerned tone
"She said that she wasn't feeling so well and wasn't up for playing with us. I hope that she'll be OK." Yang answered in a concerned tone
"I'm sure she'll be fine, Blake knows that she can come to us if she needs to talk." Ruby said
"That's true Ruby, and let it be known that I'm making a consistent effort to be a better teammate to my team. While also displaying a better attitude towards people from all walks of life. With that being said, thank you for playing with us Makoto." Weiss said remembering her promise to give the Faunus more trust
"No problem Weiss, also thanks for being so bad at this board game and inviting me." Makoto said with a smile
"Now who might you be, my darling snow angel?" Neptune asked Weiss causing her to blush slightly
"Um my name is Weiss Schnee." Weiss said introducing herself
"May I ask where are you from, I can see you're not from Vale. Maybe you fell from Heaven which explains why you're an angel." Neptune said in a calm and confident tone
"Um, thank you for the comment." Weiss responded
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, THAT MAKES TWO GUYS IN A ROW!" Jaune yelled in disbelief, while getting consoled by Pyrrha
(Beacon Outside Walkway)
"You know I have to admit, that was a pretty fun game." Yang said in a casual tone
"Of course it was fun, YOU PRACTICALLY WON IN A LANDSLIDE!" Ruby said still mad at losing the way she did
"Look on the bright side sis, at least it wasn't a complete loss. Remember the deal we made Weiss. Now as a proper lady you need to honor your word and tell us how you first met Jin." Yang said in a teasing tone
"I still can't believe that I agreed to that deal. Ugh this is the price I must pay for being confident. Though I didn't think Makoto would agree to play with me." Weiss told Yang
"Well I don't think Makoto thought of you as an enemy Weiss. A while ago after everything happened with you and Blake, I explained to Makoto why you felt the way you did about the Faunus and she understood. Besides, it doesn't look like Makoto is the type of person to hold a grudge. Though don't think that your able to weasel out of this." Yang told Weiss
"Fine, but I would prefer to tell you guys in our dorm room where it is private and . . . ." Weiss said before she was quickly disturbed by the sound of loud music. When Weiss, Ruby, and Yang looked at the source they saw that the music was being made by a guitar and there was a person playing it. The person playing the guitar is a young woman who is dressed in red leather clothes, a short red leather skirt, and an old witch's hat that is red and leather as well.
"Ugh, it's a little hard to talk or think with this loud music. As proper students of Beacon, we should go and calmly ask her to tone that music down." Weiss said before she went to the young woman playing the guitar with her team
"This should be good." Yang commented as they were getting to the guitar player
"Excuse me." Weiss said to the guitar player as she was playing her guitar
"EXCUSE ME!" Weiss yelled finally getting the guitar player attention
"Listen, I see that your practicing your music. However, the noise is getting bothersome, so would you please tone down the noise?" Weiss asked only for the guitar player to play again with the same level of noise
"HEY!" Weiss yelled again getting the guitar player's attention
"Did you understand what I was asking you?" Weiss asked
"I understood, I'm just not doing it." The guitar player said before she played again
"HEY, who do you think you are. My teammate is asking you nicely to tone down your music, and your being rude and disrespectful to her." Yang said slowly getting mad but getting the guitar player's attention this time
"My name is I-No, and I think I'm hot stuff compared to you three." I-No said in a smug tone
"Listen, you can't just play music that loud whenever you want." Ruby said trying to reason with I-No
"This is a location that's open to the public. So, I'm within my right to do what I want here within reason. Though it seems to me that your just jealous because I'm more developed than you and your fancy flat friend here." I-No said angering Weiss and Yang. While Ruby was trying to stay calm
"LISTEN, none of us is jealous of anything. All we ask is that you tone the noise down, but if you keep talking to us like that. Then we may have to take drastic action." Yang said getting more infuriated
"Oh really, and what can a top-heavy bimbo with nappy hair, a fragile prissy princess, and a shorty that needs to drink more milk do to me?" I-No taunted causing the three girls to get infuriated
"You know what, let's go a quick round and I'll put you in your place." Yang said with her eyes getting red
"Oooh red eyes, then it looks like you're a top-heavy bimbo with nappy hair and a bad temper." I-No said before Yang made decided to teach her a lesson. Before Yang could do anything, Bullet quickly appeared and stopped Yang from doing something reckless.
"I can hear you guys on my way to my dorm room. Now what is going on?" Bullet asked
"We came here to kindly ask her to tone down her music because it was really loud. But instead of doing what we asked she started to insult us. Her name is I-No by the way." Ruby explained
"I see thanks for telling me. Listen I-No, your music is causing some problems. So could you please tone it down so it won't cause some problems and be less of a headache to their eardrums?" Bullet asked
"The only headache I'm having is seeing your outfit. Though now that I think about it, I guess it's safe to say that you got it from the sewer. You know if your shorts were any shorter, I guess I can call you butt-floss." I-No said in a mocking tone infuriating Bullet greatly
"Yang you get her high, I get her low, and Weiss you get her through the heart." Bullet said ready to fight I-No along with Yang and Weiss
"You three think you can take me on. You know what, I was thinking of way to kill some time." I-No said before she readied herself with her guitar. Though before any of them could do anything a chained weapon was swung between I-No and the other girls. When they looked at who swung the weapon it was a blonde hair male wearing a bandana and an white shirt with a blue vest and shorts
"I-No, we've talked about this numerous times. You can't go around provoking people when the mood strikes you. Do you really need to have a fight the day after we got here?" The man said
"Oh come on Axl, it's not my fault that these children can't take criticism. Besides I'm within my right to play my music here." I-No responded in a careless tone
"Please I-No, we're on our last year at school. So we need to set a better example."Axl pleaded with I-No
"Damn, alright fine but only to stop your whining." I-No said before she left
"Sorry about that ladies, I-No has been a real pain since day one. So imagine how much of a hassle it is to keep her out of trouble. My name is Axl Low, and I think we'll be seeing each other around." Axl said before he left
"At least her teammate is nice to us." Ruby said in a kind tone
"Bullet, if she enters the tournament and one of us beats her. I will die a very content Huntress." Yang said still infuriated at I-No
"The feeling is mutual Yang, I'm looking forward the day that I can pulverize her." Bullet said maintaining her infuriated tone
(Team RWBY's Dorm Room)
Ever since hearing Jin's warning, Blake has been in deep thought about the White Fang and their actions. Blake still stands by her belief that the White Fang are misguided, but their influence is causing problems that will bring disastrous results in the short and long term. Blake knows that the White Fang needs to be stopped and soon. Though how she'll do it is another issue. As Blake was going over her notes on Adam, her teammates walked into the room causing Blake to close her book.
"Hey everyone, so how was the board game?" Blake asked
"It was intense, Weiss played an automatic win combo card and I managed to counter it and win. Not to mention that I managed to beat Makoto and Ruby. As part of the bet, Weiss is going to have to tell us how she knew Jin from the past." Yang answered in a confident tone
"I told you I'll tell you all the story later. Honestly I'm still mad at that snob I-No for getting on our nerves the way she did." Weiss said in a bitter tone
"Who's I-No?" Blake asked
"You don't wanna know, but let's just say that if you met her you'll hate her guts." Yang responded. Blake had made a motion to lay down while deep in thought but Weiss had called her out.
"Blake you've been like this for the past few days. I mean your acting antisocial, quiet, and moody." Weiss said to Blake
"Um you have met our teammate Blake, right?" Yang said in a sarcastic tone
"I mean more than usual, to be honest it has us a little concerned. I told you that I will start giving the Faunus more of a chance. So I would appreciate it if you would trust us to at least give us a chance by trusting us. Therefore, I must insist that you tell us what's wrong." Weiss said
"It's just that, I'm amazed that everyone can stay calm about this situation." Blake said
"Your still thinking about Torchwick and the White Fang?" Ruby asked in a concerned tone
"Yes I am, and the entire situation bothers me. Something big is happening and all of us are just sitting around studying." Blake said voicing her concerns
"After what happened, Ozpin told us that the Police and Huntsmen and Huntress's are handling things right now. I'm certain that their able to deal with the White Fang." Yang told Blake
"But I'm not so sure that they able to do it. They don't know the White Fang like I do and even then the White Fang has changed." Blake said pleading her point
"Looks like it's up to me to be the voice of reason. I know that between a noble rebellion, stopping robbers, and busting up Night Clubs you all think you can handle things. But here's a reality check, we are still kids. We're not ready for something like this Blake." Weiss told Blake
"WE MAY NEVER BE READY! Every second we are here, is a second that they are out there planning and putting their plans into motion. We need to act now, or else we will regret it when they finally put their plans into motion." Blake said voicing her concerns to her team
"Then let's put it to a vote, all those in favor of stopping a corrupt criminal organization that is plotting against the Kingdom of Vale, Say I." Ruby said in a fast and enthusiastic tone
"I'm in." Yang said with a lot of energy
"Looks like I need to make sure you guys aren't too reckless." Weiss said in a calm tone
"Thank you everyone." Blake said in a tone of gratitude
"Oh man, nobody said I." Ruby said in a slightly despondent tone
"Well, it looks like we're all agreed to this mission." Blake said
"Alright, now we need to plan and prepare. If we make one mistake then it will be our lives." Weiss said
"Then we should spend two weeks getting ready for our secret mission. Ooh I'm so excited, I feel like a Huntress." Ruby said in an excited tone
"Alright that seems like an appropriate amount of time." Blake said maintain her grateful tone before a knock came at the door which shocked team RWBY. After the knock Ruby had quickly opened it and it was Ragna holding Ruby's board game
"Hey Ragna, what are you doing here? Or better yet, did you hear anything?" Ruby asked trying not to look and sound suspicious
"I came by to return your board game. I ran into Jaune and he asked me to give this to you. Since I was nearby I figured why not. Oh and I heard the whole thing about your secret mission and I want in." Ragna said after he returned Ruby's game
"But can't we discuss this another time Ragna, preferably somewhere more private?" Ruby asked in a low tone
"Fine we will talk about me joining another time, oh and don't try to ditch me either." Ragna said with a smirk on his face
"OK, then how about tomorrow, we don't have classes and we can spend as much time as we need to convince everyone to include you?" Ruby asked maintaining her low tone
"Alright that's good for me." Ragna agreed before he left after he return the board game and agreed to talk about him joining on their mission.
After Ragna left he ran into a group of four people. One of them is a dark skinned young woman with green hair. The other is a young man with silver-gray hair. Though the two individuals that stood out to Ragna is a young woman with long black hair who has amber eyes. The other person that stood out to Ragna is a young girl who looks around Ruby's age and has silver hair that is tied to a ponytail. Though what made her appearance stand out more is the eyepatch that she has. When Ragna looked at the silver haired girl, Ragna had started to get a strong headache and the right side of his body started to throb. It didn't hurt Ragna, but it was a strange sensation.
"Are you alright, you look like you've seen a ghost?" Cinder asked in a concerned tone
"Oh, I'm fine it's just that, the girl with the silver hair looks young and I was surprised." Ragna said, though before Ragna can say anything further Nu had walked up to Ragna getting really close to him
"What is your name? You seem like a very interesting person and I would like to know who you are." Nu said
"Um my name is Ragna, I'm a student here at Beacon." Ragna answered Nu
"Hahahahaha Ragna, I'll remember that name forever and ever. My name is Nu, I think we are going to be seeing each other a lot. In fact, I believe that our fates are connected hahaha." Nu said while lightly chuckling
"Don't mind her, she's always been a strange person. We're students visiting from Haven." Mercury told Ragna
"OK, I'll keep that in mind. By the way the students have their own dorm east of here." Ragna told them while enduring the throbbing feeling he's having
"Sorry we just got a bit lost. We'll get going to our proper dorm rooms." Emerald said to Ragna before the small group left. After team CMSN left the throbbing feeling Ragna was having had died down and eventually stopped. Ragna wasn't in pain but it felt like something in his body was calling out to something.
"What was that about, and who was that girl?" Ragna thought to himself before leaving
(A/N)
The next sparring chapter will be coming soon and like last time I am willing to take requests. Please keep in mind that like last time I can't accept all requests but I will do the best I can for them.
The teams that could be fighting are team: RWBY, JNPR, RJNN, BLST, KKMT (Kagura, Hibiki, Mai, Tsubaki), CRDL, CMSN (Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, Nu). If you guys are going to give requests then keep in mind that Cinder WILL NOT FIGHT. Also, Mercury and Yang will not fight each other, but everyone else is fair game. One more thing three guilty gear characters will fight in the upcoming sparring chapter. So you are all welcomed to guess which guilty gear characters will show up in the sparring chapter.
Another thing, I will be handling team RWBY's investigation differently than the main series handled it.
So read and review
Thank you
