Gathering of Old and New Friends in Beacon
Ozpin and Glynda are seen in the Headmaster Office looking out the window as they see a few Atlas fleet ships flying pass the tower.
"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels." Glynda annoyed of the sight with the fleet.
"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man." Ozpin said then looks back at the fleet. "But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore."
A hologram screen with the words "Access Requested" on it shows that someone is outside the office wishing to come inside.
"Come in." Ozpin called out.
Two men came inside with smiles on their faces.
"Ozpin!" James greeted.
James Ironwood has black hair with some gray areas, while his eyebrows are solid black. He has a strip of silver metal above his right eyebrow. He wears a white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie and a white glove on his right hand. His suit pants share the same color as his overcoat and are tucked into silver boots accented in gray.
"Hello, General Ironwood, General Monkey." Ozpin greeted back.
"Please, drop the formalities." James insisted.
"Yeah, you can always call me Garp despite my ranks." Garp added.
Garp is a tall, tanned, broad-chested, muscular old man. He has a beard and a scar over his left eye. His eyes are blue, and his hair is gray. He wears a grayish white suit with a blue shirt underneath and a very light green-blue tie, a white marine jacket hanging from his shoulders with special shoulder pads that has red and black stripes.
"Glad to see you haven't kick the bucket yet, Ozpin." Garp joked.
"Come now, I'm not that old." Ozpin chuckled.
"And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met." James greeted the woman.
"Oh, James." Glynda rolled her eyes and look toward Garp.
"It's good to see you again, Garp. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be outside." Glynda said before walking out of the office.
"Well, she hasn't changed a bit." James said.
"And probably still won't go out with you." Garp joked.
"So, what in the world has brought you two all the way down from Atlas?" Ozpin asked as he sit on his chair.
"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year. Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." James explained.
"I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned." Ozpin pointed at the fleet outside.
"Well, concerned is what brought them here." James said.
"I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult." Ozpin stated.
"Yeah, especially since you know the real reason why James suggested of bringing them here." Garp mentioned as James's face became a little serious looking.
"We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression." Ozpin pointed out.
"But if what Qrow said is true..." James worried.
"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully. It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So, I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent." Ozpin reminded his friend of the festival.
"I'm just being cautious." James sighed.
"We're caution about the real enemy lurking in the shadows, plotting who knows what horrible thing they could be doing right now, but we can't them scare us because we're the one of the best who can stop." Garp stated.
"And we must also continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can." Ozpin added.
"Believe me, I am." James walked away to the elevator, but stop and turns around to Ozpin.
"But ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe your children can win a war?" James asked before entering the elevator.
"I hope they never have to." Ozpin said.
"But we both know it's only a matter of time before they caught wind of the shadows, of what we've been doing behind everyone's backs." Garp stated.
"So, is another reason why you are here, Garp?" Ozpin asked curiously.
"I'm here to check on my grandson Luffy, I know he can be a pain in the ass, especially when it comes to not paying attention to subjects that doesn't involve fighting Grimm and food. Also, to check up on my future granddaughter-in-law, Menat girl is one tough cookie to be able to tolerate being with that idiot." Garp explained as he gets up and walk to the elevator.
"Just try not to beat up him to near death." Ozpin warned.
"Relax, I'm just going to give him a little greeting from my Fist of Love." Garp smirked.
"That's exactly what I meant." Ozpin sighed.
(Beacon Library)
"And I destroy your army with my trap card." Dante declared.
"Oh, come on! There's no way you can pull a move like that!" Yang angered.
"Sorry Yang, but that's just how it is." Dante shrugged.
What's going on right now is that Dante and Yang are playing a boardgame called 'Remnant: The Game' along with Blake and Jotaro though Blake doesn't seem to into the game much as she has her mind on something else.
"Go, Yang! Show them what team RWBY is all about!" Ruby cheered.
"Remind me again why we're wasting our time playing this boardgame?" Weiss asked.
"Because we all agreed to have some fun, besides we all played the game even you though you were really bad in the first two turns." Makoto laughed a little.
"That's because I never played any boardgames before!" Weiss snapped.
"Ugh, how come they get to play games while we have to study?" Luffy winced as he and his team along with team JNPR are doing a group studying together.
"Because we already decided on doing this, but don't worry Luffy, we're almost done with this subject." Menat said.
"But studying is so boring." Luffy slammed his face on the table.
"I know it's not fun Luffy, but we need to study and pass some test if want to graduate from Beacon to become full-fledge Hunters." Izuku stated.
"In the meanwhile, we're just waiting to see who will give in first." Daidouji said.
"Sup, everyone!" Sun greeted walking up to them with Neptune and Ken besides him.
"Hey, Sun!" Ruby greeted back.
"Yo!" Dante said with a peace sign.
"Ruby, Yang, Blake, Makoto, Daidouji, Jotaro, Dante… Ice Queen." Sun grinned at Weiss.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that?" Weiss asked, annoy of the nickname that everyone in Beacon keeps calling her that.
"Do you really want to know?" Makoto asked with a raise eyebrow.
"I never got a chance to formally introduce you to two of my old friends." Sun gestured to Neptune and Ken.
"Hey there, I'm Ken Master and it's awesome to meet you guys." Ken greeted.
"Wait, Ken Master? As in the heir to the Master Industry and biggest supporter of the Faunus cause for humans and Faunus to live together?!" Blake shocked.
"Well, guess I won't need to explain myself more." Ken chuckled.
"Blake is a big fan of your family, helping Faunus in need and trying to help mend the relationship between humans and Faunus. Guess you could say I'm a little fan too." Makoto explained.
"Your family is also known to be a big rival to Schnee Dust Company." Medaka mentioned.
"Yes, but unfortunately my father doesn't want to make a business partnership with them for whatever reason." Weiss sighed.
"Don't worry, Weiss, I'm sure your old man will see things differently." Ken said.
"Not interrupt a good talk, but aren't library supposed to be for reading?" Neptune asked.
"Thank you!" Ren said raising his hands in the air.
"Pancakes!" Nora shot herself up from her nap.
"Sorry Nora, no pancakes." Jaune said.
"Shut up. Don't be a nerd." Sun said.
"Geh, geh, geh, geh! "Intellectual", okay? Thank you." Neptune corrected as he holds up a finger to Sun's face and turns to the others.
"Anyway, I'm Neptune." Neptune revealed his name.
"So, Neptune, where are you from?" Weiss asked.
"Haven Academy in the Mistral Kingdom. And I don't believe I've caught your name, snow angel." Neptune approached Weiss with a calm tone.
"Um, I'm Weiss. Weiss Schnee." Weiss answered a little nervous.
"Are you kidding me!?" Jaune shocked, remembering that he uses that nickname on Weiss before and she never responded to him like that.
"It doesn't work on everyone, Jaune." Pyrrha stated.
"I never took you as the board game playing type." Sun said, seeing Blake holding some cards.
"You could say she was drag into this." Jotaro said.
"Right, well, I think I'm done playing actually. I'll see you guys later." Blake dropped the cards and walk away from the library.
"Women." Nora shrugged.
"Hey Luffy, I heard you're actually studying!" A man's voice shouted.
"Huh, who could that be?" Makoto asked.
"Oh no, I know that voice!" Luffy scared.
Then suddenly bursting through the wall behind Luffy, a fist came in and hard the boy on the head that sent him flying over the two tables.
"Ow, hey, that really hurt!" Luffy scared in pain.
"Just wanted to make sure you're still tough as nails, a grandfather got to make sure his grandson is doing okay." Garp said walking to the group of friends as the dust settle.
"Hello Garp, is wonderful to see you again." Menat smiled.
"Hey there, Menat. I see you're doing great." Garp smiled back.
"Hey! That punch could have killed me, grandpa!" Luffy angered.
"Well then, maybe you should learn to face death like a man or do I need to keep punching the drill into that skull of yours!" Garp shouted back.
"Wait, wait, wait, your Monkey D. Garp. The Hero Soldier of Atlas, and you're his grandfather?" Weiss asked shock.
"Yeah, he's my grandson." Garp answered honest and simple.
"What?! Luffy is related to a famous hero in Remnant?!" Everyone gasped.
"Okay, I was not expecting that." Izuku squealed.
"Why are you all making a big deal that my grandpa works for the military?" Luffy asked.
"Are you kidding me?!" They asked shock.
"Yeah, Luffy is not big on the strict military stuff and other things related to it." Menat mentioned.
(With Blake)
Nighttime has come and Blake is seen sitting on her bottom bunkbed looking at the night sky while remembering the warehouse area incident with the White Fang and Roman Torchwick working together just to steal some Dusts. She also remembers the talk she had with Headmaster Ozpin about the incident though she didn't give away everything of why she was there, but Ozpin already knows she's a Faunus and stated that she wants people to accept who she is before the what.
The thoughts of White Fang and Roman working together means something really bad is going to happen and she wants to stop it.
Then her team came in the room.
"Ugh, we should have never let him play!" Yang angered.
"You're just mad cuz' Jaune beat both you and Dante! See, if you had just attacked when I told you none of this would have happened." Ruby stated.
"I'm still surprise that even Dante lost." Yang said as Blake was about to walk out of the room, Makoto shows up.
"Hey Blake, going somewhere?" Makoto asked.
"Uh, just wanted to be along for a while." Blake said.
"Oh no, you don't." Weiss said walking up to her.
"I get that being quiet, antisocial and moody is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong!" Weiss flipped in the air and land in a dramatic pose.
"So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?" Weiss demanded as she points her finger at Blake and shows that she is standing on a chair before getting down and putting the chair back to the desk.
"You might as well spill the beans because none of us are going to let you go anywhere until you talk." Daidouji said as she and the boys enter the room making Blake feel surrounded.
Seeing that Blake's team and friends wants to know what's wrong, she decided to come clean with her feelings.
"I just, I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." Blake said as everyone seme to understand what she's saying.
"You're still thinking about Torchwick?" Ruby asked.
"And that he's doing business with the White Fang?" Dante added.
"All of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!" Blake worried that no one is doing their best to stop them.
"We get that you're worry, Blake. Ozpin told us that the Huntsmen and the police will be able to handle it." Daidouji recalled Ozpin saying that.
"But they don't know the White Fang like I do!" Blake pointed out.
"Okay, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think that you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells!" Weiss said.
"Uh, who?" Ruby confused.
"She means a bunch of people doing crazy stuff nobody would do." Jotaro explained.
"But let me once again be the voice of reason. We're students! We're not ready to handle this sort of situation!" Weiss stated.
"Well, yeah, but…" Ruby tried to counter, but Weiss cut her off.
"We're NOT ready!" Weiss repeated.
"And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day. They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!" Blake wanted to do something to stop it before it could happen to hurt others.
"Well then, I guess there's only thing we can do now." Dante smirked at Ruby who smiles back.
"Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest Huntresses to single-handedly taking down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale... say aye." Ruby ordered.
"Yes! I love it when you're feisty!" Yang pumped her fist in the air.
"Well, I suppose it could be fun." Weiss agreed to this.
"I guess if Ruby and Yang are doing this then I'm coming along too." Daidouji said.
"Yare yare daze, we'll get in trouble for this but what the hell." Jotaro sighed.
"This is so exciting! We'll be like under cover cops going on stakeouts!" Makoto minced her hands like a gun.
"None of you said aye!" Ruby said sadly.
"Sorry Ruby, guess that part is just too old school." Dante shrugged.
Blake smiles that her friends want to help her with the White Fang and Roman, feeling a tear coming out of her eye she quickly wipes it away with her finger.
"Alright then, we're in this together!" Blake nodded.
"Now, let's hatch a plan!" Ruby said.
"Yeah!" Yang and Makoto cheered.
But Ruby suddenly gasp.
"I left the boardgame at the library!" Ruby gasped.
"We're doom." Weiss facepalmed.
"Be right back!" Ruby rushed out of the room and into the hallway, but she bumps into someone.
"Sorry. Are you okay?" Ruby apologized.
"I'm fine." The girl said.
"I'm Emerald, nice to meet you." Emerald greeted.
Emerald is a young woman with medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair is a light, mint-green with a straight fringe and bangs as well as two long locks on each side in the back. She wears a black uniform with silver gray lining, same with the three behind her. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"Hello, I'm Cinder. Those two are Mercury and Vega." Cinder introduced herself and the other boys.
Cinder is a fair-skinned woman with ashen-black hair that covers her left eye, bright amber eyes. Breasts sizes: H-cup.
"Sup." Mercury smirked.
Mercury has silver-grayish hair and eyes.
"Greetings, little rose." Vega smiled.
Vega has long hair that is braided into a ponytail and blue eyes.
"We're visiting from Haven." Cinder said.
"Ooh! You're here for the festival! But exchange students have their own dormitory." Ruby recalled.
"We were just taking a little walk around your schoolground to admire the scenery." Vega explained.
"Okay, your building is just east of here." Ruby pointed the way.
"Thanks. Maybe we'll see you around." Cinder said as she and the others walk away.
"Yeah, maybe. Oh, and welcome to Beacon!" Ruby said before making her way to the library as she still needs to get the boardgame.
What Ruby didn't know is that the new people she just met are not what they appear to be as they smile evilly, and Cinder's eye glow a little bright.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Dante and Ruby's team have agree to form an investigation team to get information about the activities on the White Fang and Roman on what they are up to, it's not going to be easy but they are up to the task though there maybe a few bumps on the road they'll have to go through. And hope you like how I made Garp appear in the story and still being a big shot hero like in the marine of the anime show.
