Incoming Storm and Trouble Between Friends
In the city of Vale, most of the people are working and volunteering on putting up from decorations for an important event that is coming to their Kingdom soon, that is the Vytal Festival which is an important celebration for all the four kingdoms of Remnant to come together to enjoy the peace they have and looking forward to the tournament too.
Walking through the streets seeing the decoration being put up are Team DDJM and RWBY as this was suggested by Weiss to go out together.
"The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!" Weiss amazed.
"I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss. It's weirding me out…" Ruby frowned a bit.
"How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!" Weiss bragged.
"You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring." Yang rolled her eyes and crossed her arms under her breasts.
"Quiet you!" Weiss snapped.
"She's also hoping that her big sister will come to visit and see her fight in the tournament." Dante stated.
"I'm still surprised you met my sister on your previous job before coming to Beacon." Weiss said.
"One of her soldiers heard about me and thought about needing the extra help, of course, Winter was against it at first but after showing her my awesome skills, she reconsidered and managed to care of the Grimm horde they were having trouble with." Dante explained while flexing his muscle, turns to Yang winking at her as she smirks in return.
"You didn't try flirting with her, did you?" Weiss asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Maybe…" Dante shrugged and Yang giggles.
"So, tell me exactly why are we spending our Friday afternoon visiting a fishing dock when we could've been doing other things right now?" Daidouji asked.
"Ugh, they smell like fish!" Ruby complained covering her nose.
"I like the smell of nuts better, can we go?" Makoto begged.
"I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom!" Weiss explained.
"So, in other words…" Dante looked to Blake.
"She wants to spy on them, so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament." Blake revealed.
"You can't prove that!" Weiss said.
"You're already found out, Ice Queen, but I guess it's not too bad getting to know your opponent a little." Jotaro complimented a little of Weiss's plan.
"Whoa." Ruby said looking at something.
Both teams turn to where Ruby is looking at and became shock of seeing a Dust Shop with shattered windows with pieces of glass on the stone floor and yellow police tape on the front of the broken door. Two Vale policemen are standing in front of the crime scene as they seem to be having a hard time trying to figure this out.
"Hey there, boys, mind telling us what happened here?" Dante asked.
"Hey, you're the Grimm Hunting Detective! Heard you finally gone to Beacon." Vale Policeman 1 said.
"That I am, now about this scene?" Dante asked.
"Right, a robbery happened here last night. This is the second Dust shop this week, it's like the city is becoming a jungle." Vale Policeman 2 reported.
"Anything stolen?" Dante asked.
"Just Dust, the robbers didn't take any money at all." Vale Policeman 1 answered with a confusing look on his face.
"A robbery that doesn't involve money, that's weird." Makoto said as Blake nodded.
"Hmm, it's almost like someone is trying to prepare an army, any suspects?" Dante asked again.
"Well, there's the White Fang and we also heard rumor that they're working with known criminal Roman Torchwick." Vale Policeman 1 reported which peeked both teams interested and curious.
"Wait, Roman's human, right? Why would the White Fang work together with a human?" Vale Policeman 2 confused.
"This is something worth looking into, you guys check the security cameras of the store if you can find out anything else about the robbery while I do a little investigation of my own." Dante suggested. The two policemen nodded and walk away.
"Hmph! The White Fang. What an awful bunch of degenerates!" Weiss angered as she walks away from the crime scene.
"What's your problem?" Blake asked angry at Weiss.
"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane." Weiss pointed out.
"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths." (crossing her arms, getting serious) "They're a collection of misguided Faunus." Blake stated.
"I don't know, Blake… I encountered a few White Fang members and I saw them kill four Atlas soldiers and a bystander. I gonna have to go with Weiss on the psychopaths." Makoto said.
"Makoto!" Blake shocked that a fellow Faunus would say that.
"See, even another Faunus with more heart and brains know that White Fang dangerous." Weiss said.
"Well, I remember the White Fang were actually a bunch of peacefully protesters until five years ago a new leader stepped in changing the group as they are today." Daidouji mentioned.
"Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!" Blake said.
"Right, those police guys mentioned about that rumor about them working with that Roman guy, and my gut is telling me that it might be true." Dante said as Blake looks down in disbelief.
"So, the White Fang are lowering themselves to get help from other criminal scums. They're that desperate to wipe out humanity." Weiss mocked which anger Blake more.
"Okay, how about"
"Hey, stop that Faunus!" A sailor shouted getting both teams' attention.
They see a young boy jumping on the edge of the boat at the end of the dock.
"Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha!" The boy laughed and jump off the boat.
"You no-good stowaway!" Another sailor angered.
The boy hanging upside-down with his monkey tail holding him on a light pole and peeling a banana.
The monkey-Faunus is a tan-skinned boy with short spiky light-blonde hair and blue eyes. He wears two red wrist bracers over black fingerless gloves and an open loose-collared white jacket with no shirt underneath, displaying his muscular physique. He also wears blue cargo pants tied up with a white belt. He wears white bandages on his legs and has a chain hanging from the belt loop on the right side of his pants. He sports black and yellow sneakers and wears a black cord necklace with a round pendant bearing his monkey emblem. As a result of his Faunus lineage, he has a long prehensile monkey tail the same color as his hair.
"Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!" The blonde monkey-Faunus claimed.
He saw two Vale police officers walking up to the light pole demanding him to come down, only to have the banana peel throw on his face and the monkey boy swings himself several feet ahead of the officers then runs while laughing a bit.
The monkey boy ran pass the two teams, in a slow-motion scene the monkey boy winks at Blake much to her surprise, and he runs as the two officers try to give chase.
"Don't worry, boys. I don't think that guy will cause any real trouble." Dante said as the officers seem to listen to him, and they left to do other police works.
"Well, Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there it goes..." Yang gestured to where the monkey ran off to.
"Quick! We have to observe him!" Weiss quickly suggested and everyone starts running after the monkey boy.
Jotaro decided to use his Semblance-Stand and have Star Platinum throw its user a few feet ahead of the monkey boy stopping him.
"Whoa, Jotaro!" The monkey boy surprised.
"Sun Wukong, didn't I told you to stay out of trouble." Jotaro chuckled.
"And I told you no promise." Sun said as the two shake hands.
"Hey, you guys know each other?" Dante asked.
"Yeah, I met Sun on a vacation trip with my grandfather on Vacuo and Sun stole his wallet." Jotaro explained.
"Jotaro managed to keep up with me, and the next thing we know we ended up being friends. I also returned the wallet with all the money inside." Sun said.
"So, you're one of the students of Haven Academy?" Daidouji asked curious.
"Yep, I went ahead of my team because I was excited to become here, and I wanted to see the place myself. I'm Sun Wukong and leader of my own team. Here's my ID card." Sun showed his ID to the others.
"It's legit. Oh yeah, I'm Dante Ozpin, Jotaro partner and leader." Dante introduced himself.
"Daidouji Xiao Long."
"Makoto Nanaya, what's up?"
"Hi, Sun, I'm Ruby Rose."
"…Weiss Schnee." Weiss glared a little at Sun.
"Blake Belladonna."
"You sure like to have fun, I'm Yang Xiao Long."
"Well, it was great meeting you guys and Jotaro… you might want to get off her now." Sun pointed down and started running off and jumping around.
"Get off her?" Jotaro confused of what Sun meant.
"Huh, Jotaro?" Yang pointed at Jotaro's feet where Sun was pointing at.
Jotaro look down and jump in surprise that he was standing right on top of a girl and he didn't never notice her until now.
"Sal-u-ta-tions!" The girl greeted with a smile.
"Um… hello." Ruby greeted nervous.
"Are you… okay?" Yang asked.
"I'm wonderful! Thank you for asking." The girl answered.
"Then would like to get up from there?" Daidouji asked.
"Yes." The girl nodded and flip herself back up.
The girl has short, rather curly orange hair with a small ahoge on top that came down to her chin, and she wears a pink bow on the back of her head. She also has bright green eyes, light skin and freckles. She wears a whitish-gray old-fashioned blouse with short gray feminine overalls as well as a black and green collar with a matching pair of stockings. Breasts sizes: B-cup.
"My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Penny introduced herself then both teams introduced themselves to her.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Penny repeated.
"You already said that." Weiss pointed out.
"So, I did." Penny realized smiling.
"Well, we better get going. Sorry for stepping on you." Jotaro apologized as everyone leaves.
"Take care, friend." Ruby said.
"She was... weird..." Yang pointed out.
"I'm sure she's just new to being outside her own home which I can tell she might be homeschool too." Daidouji theorized.
"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Dante asked, but then he and everyone stop to see Penny in front of them somehow.
"What did you call me?" Penny asked.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me!" Yang apologized as Weiss and Jotaro look back and forth trying to figure out how she got there so fast.
"No, not you." Penny walked through the toward and stop in front of Ruby. "You!"
"Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh..." Ruby stuttered nervous.
"You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?" Penny asked.
Ruby try to think of an answer and look to her friends for advice, her team was signaling her to say no though the other team like Dante, Jotaro, and Daidouji just shrug while Makoto gave her a thumb up.
"Y-Yeah, sure! Why not?" Ruby answered, this causes her team to faint comically as Penny smiles cheerfully.
"Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!" Penny excited.
"Oh, is this what it was like when you met me?" Ruby asked Weiss as she and the others get up.
"No - she seems far more coordinated." Weiss answered.
"So, what are you doing in Vale?" Yang asked curious.
"I'm here to fight in the tournament." Penny answered.
"Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?" Weiss asked surprise.
"First-year of Atlas Academy, I'm combat ready!" Penny saluted.
"Forgive me, but you hardly look the part." Weiss said.
"Says the girl wearing a dress." Blake rolled her eyes.
"It's a combat skirt!" Weiss corrected, Ruby zooms next to Weiss agreeing with her and they low-five.
"Okay, it was really nice meeting you, Penny, but now I believe it's time we head back to Beacon for the day." Dante suggested.
"Agree, I want to forget about hearing those disgusting White Fang scums." Weiss said.
"Stop! I saw how you were glaring at Sun; I know you thought he might join the White Fang." Blake pointed out in anger.
"Well, he broke the law by sneaking on a boat, even if he is a Hunter student like us." Weiss said as she and Blake began to argue.
"Well, this going to go south fast." Jotaro stated.
"We should probably go now…" Yang said.
(Beacon Dorm, DDJM Room)
"I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!" Weiss wondered of Blake's behavior.
"That is the problem!" Blake shouted as the argument goes on.
"My god, we can hear them from the other side of this wall." Jotaro groaned of annoyance.
"I don't blame Weiss for hating the Faunus in the White Fang, they have been attacking stuff involving the Schnee Dust Company for years giving Weiss a rough childhood." Dante explained.
"I've known Weiss when we were kids, I can understand her pain." Jotaro mentioned.
"I hope Blake doesn't keep her secret from them." Makoto said, referring to Blake hiding her cat ears as she is a Faunus.
"Something tells me they're gonna find out about that soon." Dante said.
"I hope just they don't end up driving each other apart." Daidouji feared.
Then they heard Ruby crying out.
"Blake, wait! Come back!"
"Looks like you jinx it." Dante pointed out before team DDJM came out of their rooms to team RWBY's.
"What happened?" Dante asked.
"Blake is a Faunus with the White Fang!" Weiss said angry.
"Weiss, we know that Blake was a Faunus, but I can promise you she's not a White Fang member." Jotaro stated.
"Wait, you guys knew about it all along?" Yang asked shock.
"Sorry, little sis, but it wasn't our secret to tell and we were hoping Blake would open up more to tell you guys though not like this." Daidouji said.
"Huh, where's Makoto?" Ruby asked.
"I sent her to Blake, figure the cat girl could use the comfort." Dante revealed that he ordered Makoto to follow Blake before leaving their room.
(With Blake)
Blake ran outside the school to the water fountain with the Hunter statue, looking at it with sadness in her eyes.
"You doing okay, Blake?" Makoto asked as she walks up to her.
"What are you doing here?" Blake asked without looking.
"I'm here to comfort my friend, isn't that what friends do?" Makoto asked sarcastically.
"You're not going to bring me back?" Blake asked.
"Only when you're feeling better and ready to talk to your friends." Makoto said.
Blake look down at the water reflection of herself and take off the bow revealing her cat ears.
"I knew you look good without the bow." Blake and Makoto turned around surprise to see Sun on a light pole.
"So, you guys need a place to stay for a while?" Sun offered them.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
It looks like team RWBY is having trouble with a little trust between Weiss and Blake though I'm sure with some help from team DDJM and Sun, things will get better soon. However, Blake and her two friends are going to see if the White Fangs are really behind all these Dust robberies and find out about that rumor too.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
