Here we are at Chapter 56. Word of warning: do not try these stunts at home. It's time for more RWBY KEPL Chibi! I do not own RWBY. They belong to roosterteeth. I only own my OCs. Here's chapter 56. Enjoy.
Chapter 56: Safety Measures
Skit 1: Unlucky Draw
In the school library, Voshkie'ahk is shuffling her Dust cards, making sure everything is in order. She'd been running low on a few types, so she purchased more Dust from Vale and imbedded them into her cards to restock her ammunition. One never knows what tomorrow will bring. Or today for that matter...
"Voshkie!" Ruby suddenly appears next to the girl, yelling her name.
"Ah! Ruby, ssshhh! This is the library. Keep it down," Voshkie'ahk admonishes her.
"Oh, sorry. Hey, quick question: can I borrow your Dust cards?" Ruby asks.
"Wait, what? You want to borrow my cards?" Voshkie'ahk asks.
"Uh-huh," Ruby nods her head.
Voshkie'ahk leans away from her, "I'm afraid to ask but... why?"
"Well, I'm trying to think of some ideas for potential upgrades for Crescent Rose, and so I wanted to check out your weapon and see how it works," Ruby explains.
"Ruby, there's nothing that special about my cards. Imbedding Dust into clothing or objects is an age-old technique. It's nothing too high-tech like your scythe," Voshkie'ahk notes.
"Yeah, but your cards are still so cool. Please, please, please let me try them out!" Ruby's bouncing up and down now.
"Ruby, I don't think that's a good idea. While my cards are simple in design, they aren't toys. It takes great skill to wield what are basically elemental explosives in your hands," Voshkie'ahk replies.
"Hey, are you saying I don't have combat skills?!" Ruby yells.
"I said keep it down!" Voshkie'ahk shushes her again. "I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that your skillset is focused on your weapon. On sniper rifles and scythes. But my weapon is completely different. It isn't safe for someone who hasn't trained with it like I have to wield," she explains.
Ruby pouts, "Hmph. Fine, I'll just prove I have the skills to use your cards,"
And with that being said, Ruby swipes Voshkie'ahk's Dust cards from her grasp and flees the library.
"Ruby, wait! Get back here!" Voshkie'ahk goes after her, but she can't match Ruby's speed when she uses her semblance.
...
While Voshkie'ahk is on a desperate search for the hood-wearing girl, Ruby is outside the school building, wearing Voshkie'ahk's Dust card holders on her hips. She has a few targets lined up, ready to get blown to smithereens.
"Hahaha, all I have to do is just throw the cards. How hard can it be?" Ruby holds her hands above the card holders like a cowboy in an old western movie.
As a Zwei tumbleweed rolls by, Ruby draws a card and throws it... only for said card to fly up, around, and back down on her. Said card was a fire Dust card, so it explodes as soon as it touches the ground at her feet.
"AAH!" Ruby screams as she narrowly avoids the blast. "Okay, so that didn't go so well. No worries. I'll get it this time," Ruby tries again.
She draws another card and throws it, but it doesn't even make it halfway before it falls to the ground and rock spikes sprout up from where it landed. Ruby's eye twitches, but she tries again still. She draws two cards this time and throws them with style in a cross throw... only for both cards to hit each other right in front of her and explode. When the dust settles, Ruby finds herself on the ground, covered in soot
"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!" Ruby cries.
"There you are," Voshkie'ahk walks over, glaring at Ruby. "Give. Them. To. Me. Now," she demands.
Ruby laughs nervously and hands them over, "Sorry,"
"Never. Again," Voshkie'ahk then takes her leave.
Ruby sighs, "Next time, just use Khazhak's weapon."
Skit 2: Musical Bones
"And stay out!" a female voice screams as a random guy is thrown out a pair of doors from a theatre in Vale.
The man runs away before an angry-looking Azula stomps out, "This is ridiculous. Why can't I just perform by myself like I usually do?" she asks her agent, a man in a suit with shades.
"I understand your frustration, ma'am, but the contract for this event specifically states that you must have a partner playing a second instrument alongside you with your piano. Please, try to understand," her agent explains.
"I understand that part. What I don't understand is why there is no one in this whole kingdom who doesn't have any talent playing musical instruments. This is infuriating!" Azula pouts.
"Well, I believe Weiss Schnee is in Vale right now, ma'am. It's no secret that she is musically gifted," the man suggests.
Azula grabs his suit and pulls him in close, "Never in a million years! If I have to go to her for help, she will never let me live it down. That is a fate far worse than death," she says with a nasty look in her eye.
"U-Uh, o-okay, no Weiss Schnee then," the man shakes with fear.
Azula releases him, "There must be someone who can help us,"
"Is something wrong, Azula?" Azula turns to see Edom walk up to her with an ice cream cone in his hand.
"Edom, what are you doing here?" Azula asks.
"I went out for some ice cream," Edom opens the small hole in his mask to lick the ice cream. "Then I heard some screaming and saw some dude run away like his life depended on it. So I then came here, and found you,"
Azula sighs, "I'm looking for a music partner for an upcoming show. The contract states that two people and two instruments must be in the show. I've been looking for a temporary partner for the event, but I've come up empty so far,"
Edom licks his ice cream then scratches his mask, "Hmmm, well I may be able to help out,"
"Really? Do you know someone who's good with instruments?" Azula asks, looking hopeful and maybe a little desperate.
Edom snaps his fingers and a skull phantom appears next to him. "For some reason, my skull phantoms can play music like a record player, but they might just work out as instruments too,"
"Really? How?" Azula cocks her head.
Edom finishes his ice cream, "Well, let's find out,"
He makes the skulls smaller and holds them in his hands. He then starts opening and closing their mouths, using them just like a pair of castanets. Azula and her agent watch in awe as Edom shows off his musical talent. After playing for a few moments, he finished with a bow.
"How was that?" Edom asks.
"Not bad, but can you do something that's more... classical?" Azula asks, curious.
"Hmm, how about..." Edom sets up a few phantoms around him, gets a pair of drumsticks, and then starts using his skull phantoms like a set of drums.
Once more, Azula and her agent are stunned by Edom's skills in music. Edom plays for a little bit longer before ending the show.
"How was that? Though, since I don't have the rest of the pieces of a drum set, I can't say it was my best," Edom asks.
Azula turns to her agent, "Get him whatever he needs, now,"
"Yes, ma'am," the man says and runs off to make some calls.
"Well, looks like you'll do just fine. I appreciate the help Edom," Azula says.
"Sure. This is pretty fun anyways," Edom says.
Azula turns away with an evil smirk, "And if I can get people talking about me and the guy that Weiss likes playing together, I'm sure it'll get under her skin. A nice bonus,"
"Azula, everything okay?" Edom asks.
"Yes. Just perfect," Azula turns back around with an innocent smile, leaving Edom confused.
Skit 3: Painful Crescendo
In the Beacon kitchen, Yang is chugging down an energy drink after a hard workout.
"Ah, there's nothing like a cold drink to get you back in the game after a good bit of exercise," Yang notes.
Suddenly, Ruby zips into the kitchen, "Yang! You'll never guess what I found while looking through Mom and Dad's stuff!"
"Uh, Ruby, I don't think Dad's underwear would count as something interesting," Yang jokes.
"Ew, Ah, NO! I would never go anywhere near their underwear drawers. No, I found this," Ruby pulls out a DVD disk. "It was tucked away under some other stuff back when Dad and Mom were younger. I think it has something from when they went to Beacon together,"
Now Yang is interested, "Oh, maybe it shows video of what Ozpin did to them during their initiation. Or something even more embarrassing. Come on, let's check it out," Yang says.
They find a computer and insert the disk. A few seconds later, a video comes online, showing Summer Rose's face.
"Okay, for those who don't know, Taiyang is gonna try to woo Raven with another of his 'genius' plans again. I heard he's gonna sing to her, so... let's watch, see what happens, and possibly stop Raven from trying to kill Taiyang," Summer says to a video camera.
"Wait, what?" Ruby and Yang mutter together.
Summer hides behind a tree and leans the camera out to show Taiyang facing off against Raven. Taiyang has a microphone in his hand and a speaker beside him.
"Ugh, Taiyang, what is it now?" Raven rolls her eyes.
"Ahem...," Taiyang prepares himself and then snaps his fingers, causing music to play.
Hiding from the rain and snow
Trying to forget but I won't let go
Looking at a crowded street
Listening to my own heartbeat
So many people all around the world
Tell me where do I find
Someone like your girl
Take to me to your heart, take me to your soul
Give me your hand before I'm old
Show me what love is, haven't got a clue
Show me that wonders can be true
They say nothing lasts forever
We're only here today
Lovers now forever
Bring me far away
Take me to your hear, take me to your soul
Give me your hand and hold me
Show me what love is, be my guiding star
It's easy, take me to your heart
Taiyang takes a breath, "So, what do you think?" he asks, not realizing that his singing was... rather in need of a lot of work.
Raven stares at him for a moment, then draws her sword and creates a portal behind Taiyang.
"Don't ever do that again," Raven says before kicking him through the portal, most likely to wherever Qrow is at the time.
She then walks away with a whistle.
Summer looks back at the camera, "Well, another one bites the dust. Back to the drawing board. I'm sure Taiyang's fine... I think," and then the video ends.
Ruby and Yang glance at each, "I still have no idea how Dad managed to woo your mom,"
"I still have no idea how she didn't kill him back then when he did that awful singing," Yang adds.
"Dad doesn't need to know about this," Ruby says and Yang nods in agreement.
And that's the chapter. More fun down the road. Until then, please Read and Review.
