Chapter 28:Reunion
The morning came as the sun shone upon Beacon Academy as Ruby and Yang met with teams CMSN and JNPR.
"So did you guys hear anything back from the others yet?"Emerald asked
"Yeah Weiss said their coming back soon and their bringing a guest along."Ruby said
That raised a few questions with the group"A guest? I wonder who it could be?"Ren asked
"Huh same thing here I got a text from Zane too. He said their bringing back two guest with them as well."Jaune added surprising them even more.
"Ok what the heck…..this is weird and brings up more questions"Yang said arms behind her head.
"Well lets get breakfast right now i'm starving"Cinder added as they all agreed that a good breakfast was best to get them going today since its still the weekend for them.
Once they met up in the cafeteria they all sat down at a table together. Nora had five large stacks of pancakes smiling at this eating her breakfast.
"So everyone how is everyone from ysterdays work?Cinder asked
"Oh a bit sore after moving all those debris, plus the weather yesterday was brutle I felt like passing out."Jaune replied
"Though I wonder where you guys were yesterday and what took you soo long?"Ren added.
"Oh the airship we took had a bad engine, had to wait for them to fix it which is why it took us a while to get back here"Emerald replied before looking toward the rest of them. "Right guys."She added
"Mmmhm bad engine, took alot longer than it needed to be"Jaune added
"Y-yeah bad engine"Ruby quickly added
"Well at least your weren't out too long otherwise ozpin would wondered what happen to you"Ren added drinking some juice
"We'll we should wait for everyone to come back. They said they're bringing a guest to the academy,"ruby replied pondering who those three could be.
"Guess we'll find out in a few hours."Yang added as they continued their day.
About six hours later it was now evening as the sun let off an orange hue over the sky as two airships came toward the landing pad as both its occupants excited the , Onxyia, Blake, Neo, Hariet,Zoey and Nadia exited the ship. While Eria,Rogue,Pyrrha,Weiss,Mercury,Port and Jaki exited theirs.
"Man I can't wait to see everyone again, our friends will be exicted to see us."Pyrrha said walking off the airship.
"Yeah but someone will be more excited to see you big sis"Rogue said smiling with Pyrrha blushing at that.
Jaki laughed a little"still calling her that"Jaki asked his daughter who smiled nodding.
"Hmmm yeah their going to shocked to see us bringing a guest though"Weiss added
Then Eria looked infront of them, noticing a few familiar faces in a group. She looked at her two teammates and the others with them. But noticed the two new individuals with them which surprised her.
"Yes, along with our other friends bringing back their own guest….two of them in fact."Eria noted as the group looked in front of them.
"Whoa who the heck are they?"Mercury asked with his bag slinged over his shoulder.
Then they made their way toward the group to see who these two mysterious people are. As they did the group infront of them were talking amongst themselves.
"This place is pretty impressive, this is where you kids go?"Nadia asked
Blake nodded her head"yes, it may be hard to get into it. But its worth it in the end"blake replied
"I'll say….although were are we heading?"Zoey asked
"Oh were going to see if our teammates are back along with some of our friends. Must be bored out of their minds along with being annoyed we ditched out on doing work"Zane added
"Hmm that makes two of us"A voice said behind them turning to see the other group. The voice came from Eria who smiled at them with arms crossed. Onxyia waved to her teammates and Zane smiled at them.
"Great to see you guys alive. How was your trip?"Onxyia asked
"Alright except for a few ruffins my dear. But we handled them and we also brought back a guest"Port added motioning toward Jaki who bowed.
"You too huh what a concidence"Zane added looking at his mom and sister.
"So you going to introduce us or what son? ''Nadia said, catching the other gorup off guard.
"Wait did she just call you…."Mercury began with Zane nodding happily.
"Guess I did find my family there after ears is my mom Nadia and foxy over her is my sister Zoey"zane said smiling as Zoey ruffled his head making him annoyed a little.
"Don't call me foxy again or next time i'll make sure you stay dead"zoey joked.
"Thats great i'm Rogue, i'm apart of our team. Along with being a partner with your son"Rogue excalimed offering a hand. Nadia looked at her shaking it and Rogue smiled.
"If introductions are needed I'm Eria. I'm also on your son's team. "Eria added bowing.
"Nice to meetcha kid"Nadia replied
"Same here i'm Zoey by the way if you didn't notice"zoey added
"Hmmm although who is he?"blake asked the question on their minds.
Jaki went forward past teh group to introduce himself"I am Jaki Hayley father of Rogue and Erie hayley its nice to meet you all."he replied
"Huh thats interesting, didn't expect you two to bring your dad here"Blake added
"Well you see some gangster attacked us trying to kidnap him. So he asked to come back with us to be safe and meet some old friends"weiss added surprisng the group.
"Wait you guys got attack too?"Hariet asked surrpsing them all.
"Oh you have to be kidding me the one time I thought we got a freaking break from criminals. Both of us get attack great….just great"Zane added annoyed
"Hmm I say what happened?"Port asked with a narrow gaze.
"A woman by the name of Betty Parker tried to assainate the chieftain of Menagerie. Along with his family Blake included"Hariet said, surprising the group.
"Wait your faunus royalty?"Weiss asked Blake shyly, smiling at this.
"Yea….surprise I guess"Blake said with her ears twitching a little.
"Huh well despite that why don't we head inside everyone probably excited to see us again after being gone for so long."pyrrha added with the group agreeing. Port and Hariet stayed behind to talk to Ozpin who made his way outside. As he did he looked at three new faces joining them.
"Hmm seems our students brought back guest, how was the trip"Ozpin said with his hand on his cane.
"Good except for both of us being simutaleousy attack by assassin"hariet added surpsining Ozpin.
"Yes it seems both run a gang, the one that attack us planned on kidnpaping the Hayley girls father."port added
"While mine tried to kill the chieftan of Menagerie, we need to tell the general about this"hariet added
Ozpin pondered for a moment for their next action. If anything goes wrong the geneal would freak out and then panic would ensue."alright, but have him keep it on the down low. This may not be affecting the festival but it may bring up trouble for the future. Along with that specialist did anything else happen?"Ozpin asked
Hariet crossed her arms at his question"nothing…except the kids collar breaking must have been a bad product. "Hariet replied which Ozpin smiled at this.
"Good, now then I think you two shoud be on your way on your certain task. Have a wonderful day"Ozpin said as the three separated going to do their own thing.
Meanwhile inside Team RWBY room Emerald and Jaune came to discuss Romans offer given to them. The others were in the hall talking about something else. They made sure to be quiet not to make them suspicious.
"So anyone thinking about what Roman said about his offer?"emerald questioned
"Not really. I can't think of anything off the top of my head for now"Jaune said leaning against the wall.
Yang then looked over at her little sister pondering something for a moment. They all three noticed Rubys expression.
"Something wrong sis?Yang asked
"Well….no its nothing"Ruby said waving it off.
"Its apparently bothering you Ruby. What is it?"Jaune asked
Ruby sighed before she spoke"Roman has connection right then maybe…..they could fine mom"Ruby said almost with a hopeful look on her face.
Yang rolled on her bed shaking her head at this.
"Your mom?"emerald questioned before Yang spoke up to them.
"Shes talking about her mom not aunt raven."Yang added
"Wait your dad has two moms, how does that work?"Emerald asked
"Some people accept it for people to have two wifes and husband. Apparently the patch allows it so yeah."Yang replied
"Yeah….but I don't know if its possible considering I hardly have any memories of her.I only have a picture of her."Ruby said brining out a picture of her and showed them.
As the gorup looked at the picture the women in the pictures appeared to be in her late twenties with black hair with red tips on the end along with silver eyes. The picture shows her wearing a white cloak just like Ruby is now. In the pictures she was also holding a three year old ruby in her arms with big silver eyes.
"Wow….she is beautiful. Whats her name?"Jaune asked
"Her name is Summer rose. Ruby didn't get to know her much but when Ruby was four and I was six she, her,Uncle Qrow and mom went out on a mission one day and well….Uncle and mom only came back."yang added
"The next thing I know Qrow scooped Ruby up in his arms and hugged her with tears in his eyes. "Yang added
"While my mom hugged my dad crying into his shoulder"yang added
"Wait if they only came back wouldn't that mean…."jaune began as Emerald elbowed him in the side making him stop.
However yang seemed to understand what they were going to say"Mom and uncle still think she's alive and with the help of their tribe they've been looking for her all over remnant. Along with protecting villages and stuff. But everytime they do nothing comes up."yang said
"So maybe if someone with better connections and a better chance it would be Roman."ruby added but then looked down with a somber expression.
"Its just a dream I guess"She added her expression sadden.
"Hey cmon don't give up easily. If you thinks their a chance at finding her keep on believing and maybe he'll find her."Jaune said tyring to cheer her up.
Then suddenly a knock came at the door surrpising the group. Then Emerald went to the door to be meet by Cinder.
"Hey Cinder whats up?"she asked
"Umm you four may wanna get out here"cinder said confusing them.
As they did they saw the rest of the their teams which made them all excited.
"Weiss!"ruby said, tackling the girl to the ground hugging her.
"Aghhh Ruby!"Weiss said on the ground, annoyed but smiled returning the both got back up dusting themselves off.
"Pyrrha its great to see you"Jaune said, giving her a hug and Pyrrha blushed, returning the embrace. Nora smuggly smiled at this elbowing Ren slightly to point it out which he already knew.
"Were back and we brought gifts by the way"Mercury joked
"Really what did you bring me a million lien for all your shenanigans?"Emerald asked to which Cinder laughed and Mercury chuckled.
"Nope but team ZERO brought back some family with them."Mercury added to their surrpsie.
They turned to see Nadia,Zoey and Jaki standing their looking at all the teens.
"So that's what your guy's text meant by surprise huh?"Jaune said looking at Zane.
"Wait wouldn't that mean shes your…"Jaune asked his friend before he nodded
"Yep this here's my mom Nadia Walker and Zoey my sister"he replied
"Really well that's great to hear, because it seems Neo here is happy to see you all together again"Cinder pointed out to the smiling Neo. Who shook her head yes at what cinder said.
"Wait Nadia walker the savage huntresses of Remnant!"Yang excalimed excited
"Oh, it seems I have a fan?"Nadia said to Yang, who seemed to be fangirling over her.
"Are you kidding me you defeated several boxers and held on to the title of champion in the medium weight boxing league in Atlas,Mistral,Vale and Vacou till this day because of your record.''Yang replied. Blake chuckled at this smiling seeing how Yang has such an interest in Nadia boxing career
"Well if you want I could go a few rounds sometime"Naida replied making Yang even more excited.
"Well despite she's Yang my partner"Blake said with Zoey playfuly smiling at her.
"Oh that girl you danced with and Neo transformed into back at Menagerie"she whispered with Blake blushing pinching the fox tail.
"Despite that the girl in white over there is Weiss Schnee Ruby partner"Yang added, still excited.
"Huh a Schnee, haven't met one of you since I talked to nicholas"Nadia added.
Weiss was a little surrpsied by this"You knew my grandfather?"she asked
"Yeah me and him fought actually once. Not because we hated each other but for fun. Wanted to see if he could beat me which in the end he did….but that was when the man still had his youth"Nadia replied making Weiss smile a little.
"Ummm hi I'm Ruby Rose ''Ruby stepped up offering a hand toward Nadia. Then she had stars in her eyes hugging the young hunresses.
"Oh my god aren't you just adorable!''Nadia sqeueled and engulfed Ruby into a hug but ended up suffocating her into her bust.
"You are just the cutest little huntresses!"she added squealing.
"um ….thank you but….I can't…breath"Ruby wheezed relizing what she was doing and let Ruby go.
Nadia coughed rubbing the back of her head smiling"sorry about that its just….your just so adorable."Nadia said in a baby voice with Zane looking at his mom weird then looking at everyone else.
"And despite that our second guest for the evening is Rogue and Eria father"Zane said motioing toward them.
He stepped forward looking at the group with an icy stare just like Eria. Then he bowed with one arm behind his back"Hello I am Jaki Hayley father of my daughter Rogue and Eria its nice to meet you all."jaki replied
Ruby after regaining her breath from almost being suffocated to death looked at him"wait weren't you on the magazine cover for most impressive weapons made in Mistral!"Ruby asked with Jaki smiling at this.
"Hmm yes, if I recall the weapon I made was a lets see.."he begun before Ruby interrupted him
"A scythe that stood about seven ft long along with being able to turn into a high powered revolver chambered in explosive dust rounds. Along with the blade being able to extended like a whip and can cover an area of twenty feet you called the Terror!"she excalimed
"Ahh dang it you beat me too it"Rogue said defeated that she wanted to say it.
"Seems i'm dealing with two fans of my work you and my daughter. It was an interesting piece to work with although the person who ordered it did not tell me their name. Oh well what about the rest of your compartiots here."Jaki asked
"Well this here is my team leader Jaune and um well…..boyfriend"Pyrrha said nervously with a blush and Jaune nervously waving.
"Hmm yeah and we also call him vomit boy"Weiss added which made a few laugh.
Nora and Ren walked forward to introduce themselves."I'm Lie Ren and this is Nora Valkriyie were also on Team JNPR"Ren said casually
"Hello!"Nora excalimed hugging Zoey who was a little stunned by this.
"Umm hey…man your jumpy is this girl on caffeine or something?"she asked
"Nopes that just how Nora is usually"Jaune added
Then from the corner three people turned the corner talking amongst was Cardin,Velvet and Coco.
"So does that make us square now?"he asked to coco
"Hmm yeah but you do owe Velvet here a free sparring session where she can wail on you"Coco added
"No…..he doesnt need to do that…"Velvet began when Cardin interrupted
"Heh deal….i kinda do deserve it for almost tearing your ear off big ears. "Cardin replied
"Its alright really…..um whats with this crowd"the bunny asked looking at the large crowd of three looked at each other as they walked over to notice four teams they know talking with each other.
"Hey guys having a party over here"Coco said, getting their attention.
"Oh hey guys what bring you over here?"Yang asked
"Nothing just having cardin pay us back for hurting Velvet's ears."Coco replied with Velvet hiding her face looking away with Cardin rubbing his head.
"Hey at least he didn't bust your skull open almost"Zane said casually but realzied his mom and sister were there.
"Oh my god Zane you dult"Eria said pressing her hand against her forehead.
"what?!"Nadia asked, looking at Cardin who seemed to be in fear now. Zoey looked at him two cracking her knuckles which made him nervous.
"Heh look it's in the past….I said I was sorry."Cardin said puting his hands up/
"Yeah don't kill him please…he did help me find Colts gym"Zane added with Nadia stopping to look at him. Then she stroked her chin for a moment before sighing.
"Alright fine….but do that to him again and you'l see why i'm called the savage huntresses"she said with cardin nodding in agreement.
Coco laughed at this holding her stomach"dam…ah that was good nice to meet yah ladie."coco replied
"Who is she by the way?"Cardin asked, still a little nervous around the women.
"Oh it's my mom…..surprise"Zane joked with Cardin laughing a little.
"Hey congrats…..also sorry miss for busting his skull open again. Please don't hurt me"Cardin said as Nadia rolled her eyes then pretending to jump at Cardin making him flinch a little. A couple laughs could be heard as Cardin stood straight back up laughing a little. But then velvet hugged her boyfriend tight.
"Thats great to hear! Though um…hi i'm sure they told you i'm his other girlfriend"velvet shyly said as the tiger smiled patting her on the head.
"Well great to meet you guess my kid got two girls who fell for his drop dead looks"nadia teased making the rabbit feel embarrassed now but was happy for him.
Back with Zoey Neo was introducing her teammates to her.
"Hmm so this is your team huh cousin, nice to meet yah"zoey greeted them
"Pleasure all mine ma'am i'm cinder fall"Cinder replied which seemed to caught Nadias attention a little.
"Yep i'm Mercury Black the best looking guy in all of beacon"Mercury replied
Emerald elbowed him and he held his arm rubbing it"Don't worry about him he's got an ego….I'm Emerald sustari."emerald replied
"Nice to meetcha but Cinder was it….you seem familiar have we met"Zoey asked
Cinder shook her head"No i'm pretty sure we haven't, i've lived at an orphanage for a while until the caretaker adopted me."Cinder replied
"Wait wouldn't that make you Ambers girl then"Nadia said walking over surprising the group.
"You knew amber?"emerald asked surrpsied by the tiger faunus.
Nadia shook her head yes"yeah me and her back in the day travled for a with being on my team in my huntresses day. Then one day we caught some slavers and killed them, but it was also the day I lost my arm. But i don't mind that's where I found my kids and I saw her take you and a few others to her orphanage she ran."Nadia replied
"Wait wouldn't that mean Zane and Zoey were slaves then?"Emerald asked
"No, he was just a baby. I'll tell you about another time alright. How is Amber by the way?"Nadia asked Cinder. Cinder wrapped her arms around herself deep in thought at the question. She breathed before looking at Nadia.
"She uh…died couple years ago. Some bandits ambushed us and she died protecting me,Emerald and Mecury"Cinder replied with a sadden expression.
Nadia sighed putting a hand on the girl's shoulder"I'm sorry to hear that but I'm happy she protected you. She was a good person….are you alright?"nadia asked with cinder nodding.
"Yes, but my team and I should head to bed right now its late."Cinder said bidding all the others goodbye as her,Mercury,Emerlad dna Neo went back to their dorm.
Jaki was busy talking with Velvet about her family it seems."hmmm you wouldn't happen the daughter of Will Scarlatina wouldn't you?"he asked
"Ummm yes….do you know my father?"she asked quietly
Jaki smiled laughing a little"Why yes….me and him actually work on a few projects right now. He's always talking about his daughter and an invention she worked on. Saying how proud he is for what she's done and who she's become"Jaki said
Velvet smiled at this because her father isn't around much due to his work. He works for the Atlas military alot and is caught up in his work which makes it hard for him to visit his daughter.
"Really? That's…..great"Velvet replied, looking down a little.
Jaki took notice of this before smiling"I also heard he is coming the Vytal fesitval this year and i'm suppose to keep it a surprise if I ever was near his wife or daughter"Jaki said making Velvet look surprise and a big smile formed on the bunny faunus face.
"Wait he's coming here…..that's great"Velvet replied smiling with Coco watching smiling at her.
"Umm hey what are they going to be doing here by the way?"Jaune asked which everyone agreed with it seems.
"Oh apparently my dad going to be helping Mulberrys weapon smithing class"Eria mentioned
"What about you ?"Pyrrha asked with Nadia laughing at the girl formal gesture.
"Call me Nadia alright and for that…don't know i'll ask your headmaster tommorrow.''Nadia entire group just continued to talk each through the night talking amongest themsleves getting to know each other.
Meanwhile in Team CMSN they returned and got comfortable. While Cinder sat down on her bed clutching her arms nervously. Mercury took notice of this looking at her worried.
"Hey you alright cinder?"he asked
Cinder thought for a moment, breathing slowly then finally spoke.
"I don't think we can hide anymore."Cinder stated
Emerald looked at her teammate and friend"what are you talking about?"she asked even Neo looked at her surprised
"We need to talk about Ozpin about our current situation."cinder finally said
"Are you sure he'll believe us even?"he asked
Cinder nodded"I'm sure he will, especially if I tell him I'm the fall maiden. He'll have to listen to us."she said
The other three look at her only staring before making their decision.
"Alright but let's do it tomorrow. It's late, I'm pretty sure Mercury and Neo here are tired, "Emerald said as the four agreed and decided to do their plan tomorrow. Hopefully nothing goes wrong and Ozpin actually listens to them and they hope this was the right choice.
On the outskirts of the city two figures in knight armor stared at the city from the woods. Their armor seemed to resemble a bird but it seemed to resemble a nevermore. While the other wore the armor of a Beowulf it seems.
"It seems our mistresses is finally going through her plan"The nevermore knight said with a female voice
"Yes….soon we will attack and bring Ozpin to his knees"the Beowulf knight replied in a rough male voice.
In the city of Vale a man walked through the streets with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Time for the hunt to begin"he said as a sinster laugh echoes through the night.
This is the end of the volume and it seems things are getting interesting. It looks like cinder needs to confront ozpin now along with that trouble being on the way. A serial killer and two strange figures who seem to resemble...grimm? Thanks for following along!
