Chapter 18:A Rising Sun
It was a normal day at Beacon as it was now the weekend as Team RWBY was out currently exploring Vale. Team ZERO were in their room relaxing and it seemed to be three o'clock in the afternoon now.
"So whats the plan for today everyone homework or what?"zane asked looking at his bag. As he did he noticed that he only had two more syringes for his sembalnce left.
"Guess I gotta conserve these Ozpin said it'll be a week till they come in from the doc."Zane thought
"Nothing much other than finishing up homework."Rogue said upside down in a chair.
"Hmmm we could hang out with Jaune teams today."Onxyia suggested'
"We could do that we haven't hung much with them lately."Eria said
Then a knock was at a door and Eria walked over opening it. Then from the door Nora brusted in happy.
"Greeting all it is I the great Nora valkyrie"Nora walked around randomly bumping into stuff. Then Ren emerged saying"Nora….hey guys we were wondering if you wanted to come to Vale with us today."
"Sure we were going to actually ask you as well….weird"Onxyia said
Soon enough Nora bumped into Zane knocking his bag out of his hands. Then as it fell to the ground Nora stepped on it and a large cracking sound could be heard.
Everyone looked at it with Nora eyes bulging out of her head saying"ummm what was that?"
Zane eyes twitched"You have to be kidding"he muttered
Zane took a vial out with one being cracked the other one luckily wasn't smashed. But he still looked down annoyed. Then placed it in his top draw with that metal box.
"I'm so sorry its just when I get excited I get all that one time I had coffee and I was up for days."Nora said rambling
Zane put his hand up to tell her to stop as he rubbed his temple. "Look its fine Nora just….please be careful next time."
Nora smiled offering a high five which Zane gave,Eria then asked the two what they wanted."Whats up by the way. You guys need something?"
"Oh me and Nora are heading into town to spend time together. Along with Jaune and Pyrrha as well. We wanted to see if you would like to come."Ren replied
"Ummm does your team have someone who can read minds because we were actually going to ask you."Onxyia said
"Nooooo , maybe Jaune does we really don't know what his semblance is though?"Nora said
"Ok everyone lets get this show on the road for our little trip into town."Rogue said as everyone got prepared to head out.
=RWBY=
In Vale everyone was at a coffee shop enjoying themselve drinking some coffee.
"Alright now what we had something to eat whats next?"Jaune asked
"Actually I was hoping we could all split up for a bit. Then meet back here in about three hours. Sounds good?"pyrrha asked
"Not a bad idea, theirs also eight of us we can form four groups of two."Zane suggested
"Greats lets go Eria."Pyrrha said grabbing a hold of her arm running off with her.
The remaining members looked in confusion at what just happened.
"Um….ok guess that leaves all of us left. How about Rogue and Nora you go with each other while Onxyia goes with Ren."Zane suggested
"Guess i'm going with you Zane."Jaune said
"Well me and Nora are going to check some sweet shops out."Rogue stated before Ren stopped the two.
"Nora don't spend any lien on candy or we won't go for pancakes over break."Ren stated
"Is it that bad to give her sugar?"Onxyia asked. Ren had a blank expression on his face telling her that it was a the two group started to make their way into different parts of Vale.
"You know something, Pyrrha been acting really weird lately. Any idea why?"Jaune asked Zane as they begin their tour of Vale.
Zane shrugged"I don't have the slightest clue man."He lied having an idea what was going on.
=RWBY=
Meanwhile with Eria and Pyrrha the two were now walking in the east part of the city.
"Okay Pyrrha why did you have to drag me off before I got my say. What if Rogue got paired with Nora. They'll destory the city"Eria said with a hint of worry in her voice. She imagined chibi version of Nora and Rogue blowing up parts of the city.
"Well…..I need your help."Pyrrha said
"With what?"Eria asked
"Ummm…its going to be Jaune birthday soon and I was hoping to find him a present for him but the face is…."Pyrrha begin.
"You have no clue what to get him don't you?"Eria finished with Pyrrha nodding.
"Yes and I could really use some help finding a gift for him. I can't come up with anything."Pyrrha said
"Also you well had some experience…..in that field. I thought you could help me."Pyrrha added
Eria sighed as she pressed her temple before looking back at Pyrrha."Alright tell me what you know about Jaune likes or maybe something he might need?"She asked
"Hmmm a new shield maybe his did get dented a while back in combat training."Pyrrha answered.
"Great we could head to DJ's to get him one. Guy apparently has some decent shields along with our team getting discounts their."
"Wait you got discounts their how?"Pyrrha asked
"Apprently that mine job they took from him. They gave him enough dust to be stocked for a whole year. So he gave them a discount on some equipment."Eria replied
"Thats nice, plus it will save me lien"Pyrrha added as they headed over to DJ's.
Meanwhile with Rogue and Nora they were exploring the west end of Vale or more like Rogue trying to prevent Nora from eating sweets and spending all her money on candy.
"Geez Nora I thought I had alot of energy your like a living battery or something."Rogue replied sighing while Nora skipped along side her.
"Oh c'mon just let me have some candy. Just don't tell Ren i'll do your homework for you."Nora suggested
"Uhhh….no, you know damn you struggle with certain subjects. If I do that my grades will be so bad I won't recover"Rogue said
"Your no fun"Nora said, doing a cartwheel now.
"Oh my god is this how my sister feel dealing with me sometimes."Rogue thought.
On the north end of town Zane and Juane were getting close to a harbor.
"So Jaune hows your classes been?"Zane asked
"They've been good….if you can say that."Jaune said nervous.
"Alright spill it whats up."Zane said noticing the change in his voice
""Oh no its nothing! Their nothing bothering me right now! Nope."He quickly said trying to remain calm.
Zane looked at him without being fooled.
"Okay Jaune I know something is bothering you. Is it Cardin cause if he went back on his promise I swear i'll tear him a new one he'll be…."Zane began before Jaune quickly stopped him.
"No no no no ,it's not Cardin. It's me actually."he answered
"What exactly are you talking about?"Zane replied to Jaune statement
"Well you see..um…how do I say this? Theres a girl I like but its kinda hard to talk to her."Jaune replied
Zane looked at him with a smug expression"And is this girl someone we know or thats with us today?"Zane replied
Jaune nodded his head"Yeah it is someone we know."he confirmed
Zane put the piece together already but wanted to mess with Jaune for a bit.
"Is it Nora?"He asked
"No. As much as Nora is a good teammate her I think shes more into Ren than anyone else."Jaune replied
Zane knew exactly who he was talking about.
"Oh….so Pyrrha then."Zane replied with Jaune face turning bright red
"Yes…"he replied, nodding his head with confirmation.
Zane smirked, laughing sighing at the end" Have you told her yet?"Zane asked
"Well whenever I try to ask her she trys to avoid me for some reason coming up with an excuse then running off."Jaune replied
"Odd, if anyone knows Pyrrha its the twins."Zane added
"Yeah what about you have you even asked anyone here out or is are you not interested in that."Jaune asked
Zane laughed thinking about Onxyia, the girls cute but hes just worried that she won't like a guy like him.
Jaune then retorted back with what Zane did to him early.
"Hmmm let me guess…..Onxyia."jaune said with his arms crossed smiling.
"What!? No, I don't have a crush on her….nope not at all."Zane said turning away from Jaune.
Near the south end of Vale was Onxyia with Ren. She sneezed with Ren saying"bless you, do you have allergies?"
Onxyia wiped her nose with a cloth saying"No….but I feel like someone talking about me."she wagged her tail curiously
Back with Zane and Jaune they continued to walk closer to the port. "So we both are afraid to ask the girls on our team if they like us?"Jaune said
"Yep guess so"Zane replied as they continued to walk they heard someone familiar.
"Hey stop that guy!"Weiss shouted as they noticed team RWBY chasing someone.
The guy they were chasing is a six foot tall seventeen year old with tan skin with short spiky light blonde hair with blue eyes. He wears two red wrist bracers over black fingelress gloves and an open loose-collared white jacket with no t-shirt underneath showing off his muscular chest and lower stomach. He is wearing bandages on his legs and has a chain hanging from the belt loops on the right side of his pants.
He wears black and yellow sneakers and wears a twisted golden neckle around his neck that bears a monkey emblem on it. However the notaicel trait is that hes a faunus with a monkey tail poking out of his jeans.
"Catch me if you can ladies!"the guy called back as he jumped to a lamppost in town.
When he jumped over them Zane and Jaune looked at him impressed.
"Man that guys quick"Jaune said impressed
"Yeah makes pyrrha look slow."Zane joked with Jaune bumping his shoulder.
"Come on guys help us catch him he could be White Fang."Weiss said running by with her team. Blake looked at her when she said this annoyed.
Zane and Jaune joined the two running after the monkey boy. As they chased him down they lost sight with him.
"Dammit were losing him."Jaune replied
Yang noticed an alley way near them"C'mon we can cut him off here."Zane said jumping onto a wall running up it then over a fence using his armor to cover his legs slightly. Jaune looked at him saying"I'm going with the girls see you when I get around!"Jaune hollered
Back with Onxyia and Ren they were walking down the street talking. "So Ren you and Nora seem close are you two dating?"Onxyia asked smugly
"No….but should I ask you if your going to ask Zane out."Ren replied in a monotone voice
Onxyia looked at him trying to form words walking backwards."wa-i-t how d- did you know abo-ut th…."as she walked backwards someone ran into him.
The person collided with her and she was rubbing her head. She looked up to see a familiar monkey boy. The monkey looked back at her smiling and laughing.
"ohh…Onxyia hey…how's it going."the monkey faunus said smiling.
"SUN WU KONG!''Onxyia yelled, grabbing Sun by his ear, pinching him.
"Ow! Let go your….ah tearing my ear off."Sun replied
"Maybe I should for what you did to me back in Vacou."Onxyia said angrily.
"Do you two know each other?"Ren asked
Onxyia sighed"yes this guy was someone who I stayed with at Vacou for a bit. Until I asked another friend of mine to stay at their place."she still had a hold of suns ear.
"Oh come on it was just what…..500 lien."Sun replied
"Just 500 lien….that lien was for a gift for my family from my trip from Vacou you jerk."Onxyia replied.
"Ow! Ok sorry look I needed it for some equipment for shade academy."he said
"What….your going to shade academy?"Onxyia replied
"Yeah….. After I well borrowed from you."Sun said
"Thats using the word loosely."onxyia added
"I managed to get into Shade Academy. Now i'm here for the Vytal Festival."Sun said
"The Vytal what?"Onxyia asked
"Oh its a festival held only once every two years. And preparation are done months in advance. Everyone from remnant is coming for this from Vale all the way to Haven. Its meant to celebrate peace after the Great War."Ren replied
"Hmmmm I think I heard about it when I was back in menagerie."Onxyia said
"Wait….. How did you get here anyway? Tickets for a ferry isn't cheap did you steal more lien?!"Onxyia asked
Sun nervously tapped the back of his head"well….I kinda stowed away in the ship's cargo when they weren't looking, but when I got off two guards noticed me and then another group of girls were chasing me with two guys. But they weren't fast enough."
Onxyia groaned"you know your lucky it was me that ran into. Since you helped me around Vacou for a bit. Along with being friends I'll let you go for now."As she said this she could hear someone having a dispute.
Sun then bid them goodbye as they went to investigate what's happening.
It was Blake and Weiss arguing with each other.
"All i'm saying is that this White Fang group is nothing but a pack of murderers. They lie,cheat. And steal to get whatever they want and its not helping them at all what they are doing."Weiss voiced off.
"While I can agree some of that is true. They are just misguided faunus that don't know right and wrong about what they're doing. " Blake sounded off as the two continued to argue while Yang and Ruby trailed behind with Jaune as well. But Zane was nowhere to be seen.
"We better head back and get the other then head back to the academy."Onxyia replied with Ren agreeing.
But he noticed something pointing it out. "Where is Zane though?"he asked which Onxyia didnt't keep track of her leader, maybe he was already back. But he could also be doing something else.
=RWBY=
Apparently once they got back and went their own ways Weiss and Blake were still going at each other saying things about the White Fang.
"I'm just saying that the dust shop we saw was another White Fang attack. Its because of them dust businesses are going under. Along with them stealing from my family."Weiss replied
"First of all do you have evidence it was the white fang…..it could have been Roman Torchwich."Blake countered
Meanwhile Yang and Ruby where across the hall standing near the doorway listening in on the argument with Team Zero minus their leader.
"How long have they've been going at it now?"Eria asked
"Every since we left Vale and not to mention its getting dark now so about two hours at best."Ruby replied as they watched them continue.
"Yeah and Zane still hasn't returned yet…..…where is he?"onxyia said worried
"Oh don't mind him, he's probably skipping curfew or something"Yang added but Onxyia was still worried.
"I don't understand what the problem is?"weiss asked
"Their that is the problem!"Blake shouted.
"Well i'm sorry people in the SDC will have to keep shoveling more dust causing the workers to lose money. Along with them being subjected to more harsh working conditions."Weiss added, looking away.
Onxyia finally stood up walking over getting involved."Hey Ice queen, sorry to burst your bubble but for your information the Schnee company should be happy with less dust. They sold even more this year, so good for them." she added with her tail wagging slowly.
"Oh great your involved now, you both relize your defending an organization that hates humanity don't you? The faunus of the White Fang are pure evil."Weiss retorted
Onxyia got close to the girl growling with Rogue getting in her way with Yang holding her back. Weiss looked at with worry saying"what you going to kill me like the rest of them did to my family."weiss said
"What are you talking about?"blake asked annoyed
Weiss walked over to a window saying"I'm a victim too. You want to know why I extactly despise them. Why don't I trust Faunus?. Its because they've been at war with my family for years. War, as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has a target painted across their back thanks to my father's decisions on how he should run the company. I've seen several of my family hunted down and killed since I was just a child. Along with board members and entire dust trains stolen. Then by the end of the day my father would come home mad then take it out on me and my brothers."Weiss said looking away clutching her arm.
Ruby tried to console her but Weiss put a hand up. Then looking at Onxyia and Blake.
"They are an evil group that have hurt several people everywhere. "Weiss continued
"But they don't deserve to be punished for something they couldn't control!"Blake shouted as Yang and Rogue got in between the two.
"Okay guys lets just calm down and take a deep breath."Yang said
"Yeah before someone says something they'll regret."Rogue added
"If it were up to me I would have several people hunt them down until their little group is gone. They're all just a group of liars, thieves and murderers!"Weiss said but her eyes went wide at what she just said.
Onxyia lunged at her to try andgrab her saying"Touch a hair on my brother's head and I'll kill you!" Rogue held her back along with Yang. Weiss just stared at her down with worry and shock.
"WE JUST WANT TO BE EQAUL!"Blake shouted, which seemed to silence everyone as they stare at her in shock. That's when Blake relized what she just did.
"I….um…."Blake said nervous before anyone could do anything she ran as fast as she could out of the door in a black blur.
"Blake! Wait!"Yang yelled, calling out to her.
Onxyia was free and staring down Weiss who had a look of worry on her face now. "I hope you're happy with what you said…..all you schnee every know how to do is cause pain and with being a racist little brat no one cares for."Onxyia said, spitting in Weiss' face walking off after Blake.
Rogue stood their trying to call out to her"Wait…Onxyia….don't….go."she watched her other teammate leave. Eria went to comfort her sister and they went back to their room.
Weiss sat thinking about what just sat next to her asking"Weiss did you really mean that?"
Weiss sighed before saying"no…no….but I just couldn't stop myself"laying her shoulder on Rubys.
=RWBY=
Meanwhile outside Beacon Academy Blake rushed out without much of a word soon coming to the fron of Beacon where a statu of a huntsman and huntress stood battle ready with their weapons drawn while underneatha grimm ready to pounce at them.
Feeling a sense of guilt Blake untied her bow from her head revealing a pair of cat ears underneath.
"Blake!"Onxyia yelled out rushing to her friend who didn't turn around immediately. But she just stared at the statue.
"Just…why?..."blake stared
"Why would we be even created? Were only here to cause hate and be shown nothing but distrust and judged because were so different from humans?"she stated
Onxyia went to her friend hugging her"I don't know we just need to try". Her ears twitched a familiar voice rang out.
"Well I thought I could find you two here."A familiar voice rung out behind them turning to see Sun hanging from a lamppost.
"Say you two wanna get out of here or what?"Sun asked
Blake nodded and Onxyia did so in agreement as the three left the school ground and likely into Vale not knowing what lurks their.
Meanwhile in an alleyway was Zane and he was coughing. As he was on his knees his head was pounding like crazy. It felt like his skull was ready to be split in put one hand agains a wall breathing heavily, But he was struggling with his breath.
Then he felt something hot rushing up his throat. He opened his mouth puking onto the ground. A smacking sound could be heard. He wiped his mouth off then his head hurt even worse.
"Dammit….my….arghhh head it hurts…can't stay awake…."zane said falling to his side curling up. Soon enough his bodies started to become covered in a strange material. His semblance was going off again and he just screamed in pain.
As he screamed soon enough the black like material covered him then something else happened. Then as it covered his eyes they were looking around scared. From his hands talon-like claws emerged. A grimm-like scream rang out through the alleys in the night sky.
Here we are another chapter done! This time it seems that weiss got into a spat like before with blake. And now it seems zane might be suffering from not taking those syringes. Find out in the next chapter and thansk for reading!
