Here we are at Chapter 47. I wanted to let you guys know that after this chapter, I'll be putting this story on a quick little hiatus so I can put more focus on another story that I've held off for a long time now. Also, for the one who asked, I put the Halloween skit in this chapter for you. Don't worry, this story will continue as long as RWBY continues. Anyway, 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 47. Enjoy.
Chapter 47: Halloween Humor Night
Skit 1: Ghost of a Scare
It's Halloween and once more, time for a night of scares, dares, and delicious, sugary snacks. Beacon is all decked out for the holiday, and the students are making their plans for the festivities that will be held in the school and the city. Everyone is excited for the holiday... well, except for one. In Team RWBY's room, Ruby has a sad expression and for a very good reason. Since it's Halloween, it's also Ruby's birthday. Unfortunately, her friends stuffed her into a trash can costume to punish her for trying to use her holiday as a means of getting all of their sweets, and then tossed her back into their room. Ruby was stuck in the costume, and thus, unable to get some payback, or her snacks. Out in the hall, Khazhak is making his way to the cafeteria when...
"Go to Team RWBY's dorm..." a female voice rings out.
"Huh? What was that?" Khazhak looks around, confused.
"Team RWBY's dorm. Help Ruby..." the voice says.
"Ruby?" Khazhak cocks an eyebrow before heading to their dorm room. Kicking the door open, he find Ruby in her sad, trashy state. "Ruby!"
"Khazhak! Help me!" Ruby cries.
Khazhak quickly gets Ruby out of the trash can costume, "What the blue heck happened to you?"
"My friends stuffed me into the trash can because I wanted sweets for my birthday. It was too cruel!" Ruby cries again.
"Yes, it is your birthday today. Tell you what, why don't we go to the city together? I'll get you a nice Halloween cake and then we'll get candy afterwards. Provided you don't eat too much at once and get sick," Khazhak offers.
Ruby gasps, "Really?! Thank you, Khazhak. You're the best! Come on, let's go right now!" Ruby cheers and grabs Khazhak's hand before leaving.
"Wait... who was that weird voice anyway?" Khazhak wonders, but only for a moment.
…
In the hallway, the ghost of Summer Rose watches them leave, "Now then, time for a little fun of my own. What's a Halloween without any ghosts?"
She first finds Blake and Yang in the kitchen cooking up a pumpkin pie in the oven.
"The pie should be done soon," Yang notes.
"Good. I'm getting hungry," Blake notes.
"Come on, let's get the drinks and snacks to go with the pie. I know just the thing," Yang says before they leave for the moment.
Summer cracks her knuckles and uses her ghost abilities to turn the dials on the oven. When the two girls return to check on the cake, they are just in time... In time for the cake to explode and cover them in cake batter.
"My hair!" Yang screams.
"Yang, did you mess with the oven again?!" Blake yells.
"Hey, I didn't do... this..." Yang trails off as they see knives and forks floating around them, then aim the sharp ends at them.
"Uh, Blake, you believe me when I say this isn't my doing, right," Yang pales.
"Y-Yeah, I believe you," Blake is shaking.
The cooking utensils fly at them, leaving high-pitched screams in their wake.
…
In the library, Weiss is studying with some peace and quiet that she desperately yearned for. She wanted to get this done before the students start partying for Halloween and make too much noise. However, Summer Rose has other ideas. She makes a few books float off a shelf and hover high up behind the Schnee heiress. One casually drops on her head.
"Ow! What the-," Weiss looks around, but finds no one there. "Hmph," she scoffs and goes back to her studying. As soon as her guard is down, another book drops on her head. "Ow! Alright, who's doing that?!" she looks around, but freezes when she looks up and sees a storm of books over her head. "Uh... was I being too loud?"
The books all fall down on her, muffling her screams.
…
Out in Vale, Khazhak and Ruby enjoy some tasty candy as they walk around in a samurai costume and a grim reaper costume respectfully.
"Ah, that was so much fun. Thanks, Khazhak. This is one of the best birthday/Halloweens I've ever had," Ruby says before munching on some chocolate.
"Happy to help, little rose," Khazhak replies. "Still, what was the deal about that strange voice?... Ah, probably no big deal,"
As they walk off, Summer watches them go, "Mission accomplished. Happy Halloween," she says before letting out a witch-like laugh.
Skit 2: Advice Column
In Vale, Velvet and Ilia are having some coffee at the local café while Ilia confesses her woes to her fellow Faunus.
"Wait, so want me to give you love advice?" Velvet cocks her head.
Ilia rests her head on the table, "Yeah... Let's say there's... someone who you like but doesn't notice you that way and is focused on someone else. Or, isn't focused on anyone in particular, or may have more than one admirer. What do I do to get that person's attention?" Ilia asks.
"Um, I'm not sure I'd be any help in this. Romance isn't something I'm well experienced in either," Velvet shrugs her shoulders. Just then, they see Voshkie'ahk walking by. "Oh, maybe Voshkie'ahk has an idea. She and Yukari are together after all,"
…
"Wait, what's going on?" Voshkie'ahk suddenly finds herself at Velvet and Ilia's table.
"I need your help to figure out how to get someone who I have a crush on to notice me. I mean. Do you have any ideas?" Ilia is almost begging by this point.
"What makes you think I'd be an expert on this?" Voshkie'ahk asks.
"Well, I mean... how did you and Yukari end up together? Who made the first move?" Ilia asks.
At hearing this, Voshkie'ahk starts blushing and fiddles with her fingers, "W-W-What? I mean... Yukari basically made the first move. But... I was taken against my will and subjected to her insane personality quirks. I'm surprised I was still standing by the time she was done with me,"
"Wait, what did she do to you? Hold on, do I even want to know what she did?!" Ilia seems to be getting strange ideas in her head.
"Well, I mean, I felt much more at peace with myself after we were done, and then she gave me her number. Things just rolled down that path as we started talking to each other more often and went out on dates," Voshkie'ahk explains.
"At peace when you were done? What did she do to you? Wait, is that what I need to do..." Ilia turns away and starts muttering to herself. "Do I need to be extremely bold like that? I remember that Blake has some books that are rather risqué and not for the faint of heart. Should I steal some of her books for some reference material? No, if she found out I took her secret books, she'd be very mad at me. Maybe I could take some notes while her team is in class and leave the books where I found them? Yeah, and then I'd have the material I'd need,"
"Is she okay?" Voshkie'ahk whispers to Velvet.
Velvet shakes her head, "I'm pretty sure we don't want to know"
"Wait!" Ilia pops up next to them. "What about competition? What did you guys do for anyone trying to hit on you or Yukari?"
"Hmm, well Yukari was never shy about showing our relationship in public, so people knew she was already taken. I guess it helped that she's famous... most of the time. As for me... I was rather surprised when I saw that not many people were trying to hit on me, get me to leave Yukari, or vice versa. Maybe because the guys saw that I only liked girls. I always wondered... Eh, I'm sure it's nothing major," Voshkie'ahk shrugs her shoulders.
…
"Alright, you dogs thought you could steal my darling, huh? You just signed your own death warrants!" a crazed Yukari yells as she chases two guys with Lloyd's claw gauntlets.
…
Ilia and Velvet thought they heard faint screaming from down the street, but decided not to worry about it.
"Well, the only advice I can really give you is to be bold, be fearless, and make your intentions known. If you don't move soon, someone else will. That's how Yukari has always been," Voshkie'ahk says.
"I see. Thanks. I think I have just the thing," and with that, Ilia takes her leave.
"So, you think Ilia will be able to get Blake's attention?" Velvet asks.
"Don't know. I know that her biggest competition is Blake's dirty novels. She loves those more than she loves tuna... I think," Voshkie'ahk replies.
Skit 3: Unstoppable Force vs Immovable Object
"Wait, so you want to use Lloyd for target practice?" Khazhak asks.
In the Beacon cafeteria, Team KEPL is having a meal together when Coco walks up to them and asks a surprise question right out of the blue.
"Um, where did you get that crazy idea? Have you been hanging out with Yang too much again?" Edom asks.
"No, no, I only hang out with her when we talk about our hair or our clothes and what not. You see, I've been wondering about a few things. With my semblance, my enhanced Dust rounds chew through anything that stands in my path. But, is there any object or force out there that can withstand my onslaught, and if so, for how long? Lloyd's semblance, combined with his raw power, make him basically a walking fortress. I want to see which is stronger. My semblance or yours? So, what do you think? Care to find out?" Coco asks, moving her shades down to stare at the boys.
Khazhak looks to Lloyd, "What do you think Lloyd?"
Lloyd shrugs his shoulders, "Well, I don't really mind. If you're cool with it, then I'm cool with it,"
"Even if this may kill you. I remember seeing what Coco did to a flock of giant Nevermores two weeks ago. It was not pretty. And that was when she was in a good mood," Porphyrius notes.
"Well, it would be a good way to test the full strength of Lloyd's semblance. If we are to get stronger, we must continue to test our limits," Edom says.
"As long as we take a few precautions, I don't see the harm. Alright, Coco, you got a deal," Khazhak decides, making Coco smirk.
…
Out in the Emerald Forest, Team KEPL stand off to the side along with Velvet while Coco and Lloyd are out in an open area.
"Okay, so what are the limits here exactly?" Porphyrius asks.
"I keep shooting until Lloyd's semblance breaks or I run out of bullets. First one to buckle wins. You ready Lloyd?" Coco asks as she changes her purse into its gatling gun form.
Lloyd engages his semblance, encasing his whole body in steel, "Ready when you are!" he clangs his fists together.
Edom raises an arm, "And... begin!"
Coco pulls the trigger and starts firing away at Lloyd. Lloyd crosses his arms in front of him and takes the onslaught head-on. The bullets, even when enhanced by Coco's semblance, bounce off of Lloyd's armor. However, this causes everyone else to take cover behind rocks and trees, lest they get Swiss-cheesed.
"Hah, looks like I'm holding out pretty well, Coco. Feel free to submit anytime," Lloyd taunts her, hardly breaking a sweat.
"Oh, don't worry Lloyd. I've got plenty of power, and ammo, to spare," Coco replies.
She hits a hidden switch on her weapon, causing the full-auto to go even faster. The bullets come in like a storm's rain on steroids. Twice as fast, and twice as hard. Lloyd grits his teeth, but finds himself slowly sliding back along the ground.
"I'm still in one piece, Coco," Lloyd says.
"Not for long," Coco pours every ounce of her aura into her semblance, putting her bullets on overcharge.
Lloyd does the same with his armor. However, he gets pushed back by the impact of the storm of bullets and gets sent flying.
"AAAHHH!" Lloyd screams before he crashes into a large boulder.
Coco runs out of ammo, but when the dust settles, they find Lloyd is still encased in armor, without a scratch on him. His semblance fades and he peels off of the boulder and face first into the dirt.
Coco takes a few deep breaths, "How... is that... possible?"
"Well, Lloyd's semblance held out just long enough to outdo Coco's semblance and her ammunition. So, Lloyd is the winner!" Velvet declares.
Lloyd painfully raises a hand, "Y-Yeah... Go me," and then he passes out.
And that's the chapter. Like I said, I'll be putting this on a slight hiatus right now so I can focus on my other stories. Two of them I'm almost done with, and one I've held off on for a while. Don't worry, this story is not over by a long shot. Until then, please Read and Review.
