Yo, back again. I want to thank all of you that have continued to follow up until this point, I really appreciate the support. I might not upload as quickly as I would like, but it might be weekly updates if all goes according to plan.
I remember saying I planned to make this a harem type thing, but I'd like your thoughts on who should be first girl. Leave a review for who you want Soap to have the hots for, anyone goes. And thanks for all of you who have followed the story up to this point, I won't be like those other guys that after seeing Rooster Teeth get cancelled from making RWBY they just decided to leave their stories to gather dust . I don't care about all that, if Rooster Teeth won't ellaborate on certain things in RWBY, then I will just build my own cannon past Volume 9.
(Que shocked mumuring.) Yeah, I know it may seem kinda hopeful and unreal but I'd like to think I got what it takes to write THE best COD X RWBY crossover fanfic in all of fanfic history, and anyone who is willing to join me on this journey you are more than welcome. Although I may not have figured out the story past Volume 3 yet, I just want you guys to know that this fic will truly be an experience.
Alright enough about me, let's get into the story. How will Soap's interaction's with the main cast of RWBY go, will it follow cannon or will it not? Will Soap be able to make lasting friends or will he just find temporary alliances? Wanna find out, keep reading.
Also shoutout;
na,misfit,fox: Thanks to your suggestion, you my friend have just given Soap a very good edge against the Remnantians. Will his Semblence be considered OP... yeah! (XD)
Anyway, let's get it. :)
CHAPTER THREE: A Soldier And Huntsmen.
Soap woke up with a start as he briskly wiped the sweat from his brow. He was sleeping in the auditorium since the day before, since the Beacon applicants would be coming in a day, he needed to move his stuff out from what would soon be another teams dorm.
Soap glanced pensively around him to make sure he really was alone, after a good minute of calming down, Soap grabbed his scroll and checked the time.
"Shite, it's already six in the morning." he drawled as he rose up from bed and began to do a series of warm-up exercises. Stretching, push-ups, sit-ups, etc... after all, he was soldier before a Huntsman, he needed to keep his body in top condition, since tomorrow was Beacon's Initiation.
After 30 minutes of his usual morning routine, Soap grabbed his toothbrush and made a beeline for the schools showers. Soap decided to abuse the schools facilities a bit more since very soon he'd be sharing them with his fellow classmates.
After he was done taking a shower and brushing his teeth, Soap put on his combat gear and placed Beira's compact form on the sheath on his back, and after collecting all his belongings he made his way to the cafeteria.
Whilst walking through the empty hallways, Soap thought back to his brisk awakeaning that morning. He clenched his fists as he thought back to the memory of his dream, one where he stood kneeling before the graves of Roach, Ghost, Ozone, Scarecrow and all the other 141 members that died during the siege of Makarov's safehouse.
It had been something of a reacurring nightmare that seemed to be getting more and more frequent and vivid as time went on, he remembered that after he and Price had found out about Sheperds betrayal, and what had happened to the teams that were sent, Soap's anger had reached a point where he had spent a good 2 hours punching a brick wall until his knuckles bled and his bones creaked.
He had blamed himself for not being able to see through Sheperds deceit, and because of that his men payed the price. Even after Sheperds death at his hands, Soap never fully got over the guilt of letting his close comrades and friends die. And after coming to Remnant, it seemed that the feelings of guilt had come back full force, or atleast made another drastic appearence in his minds eye.
Soap blamed the fact that his body was going through puberty, again. Although he could do nothing about the turmoil of emotions that he was keeping hidden, he could only push the emtions aside and focus ahead.
'Such is the life o' a soldier.' Soap thought, arriving at the cafeteria.
Upon taking his order of a cheeseburger, he really did love those American delicacies, Soap found a good spot to sit and began to eat while going through the plan of the day in his head.
'The most I can do today would be ta' scope out the arrivin' students, and maybe try ta' get a read on their abilities,' Soap took another bite as he countinued to think, not noticing the two people who spotted him approach, 'Either tha' or try to stay outta sight and play it cool. Don't wanna give away all me cards on tha' first day-'
Soaps train of thoughts was suddenly cut off as a a body pressed against his side, "Hey stud," came the familiar teasing tone of Coco.
Turning to face he he saw her grinning as she pressed herself against his left arm, causing it to become squished between her bust. Coco lowered her shades slightly, leaving them to rest on the bridge of her nose as she winked at him. Beside Coco sat a smiling Velvet, although if Soap was to look closely he would notice that Velvet's smile was strained as her right eye and ear twitched while she almost sat glaring at Coco. Whether Coco noticed her partners annoyance or not, she paid it no mind as she focused her eyes on the Scottsman in front of her.
"Aye, good ta' see ya Coco." Soap responded with a smile, "You too Velvet." Velvet's ears, which were slightly droopy, immediatly stood tall with happiness as she was glad that Soap acknowledged her despite Coco latching onto him.
"You seem happy, you getting pumped for the initiation?" Coco inquired, still latching onto him. Soap lowered his burger as he turned his head to face the two, "Na, not really. When you've travelled the world as a soldier, nothin much can surprise ya."
"Oh trust me, you will be surprised." laughed Coco as she sent a knowing smile to Velvet, who shook her head slightly in exasperation.
After getting to know the two after their meeting at the gym Soap had establised a good friendship with the two, but he was yet to meet the F and Y of team CFVY. Soap actually owed a lot to the two second years, after all if it wasn't for them he probably would've had to wear a tracksuit as his combat outfit, and a plain greatsword with no dust as his weapon. The two even helped him buy the ice and gravity dust that he'd need during the initiation tha would probably last him a two weeks, if he used it wisely.
"Oh pray do tell, is there somethin' I should be expectin'?" Soap raised a brow questionally at Coco.
Before Coco could reply Velvet spoke up from her position, "I don't think it would be very fair for the other first years if we just told you what the whole initiation was about, don't you think." Soap held his chin in thought for a moment before replying, "Yeah, I guess tha' would give me a bigger advantage over the other people who'll take part in tha' initiation, but it wouldn't hurt for some hints, right?"
Velvet rolled her eyes slightly at Soap joking tone. In the time that she got to know him she and Coco found out that he was a bit of a joker if he wanted to be, but most of the time he was laid back and very down to remnant, as well as optimistic and sharp. She remembered when he first told her and Coco about him being a soldier while they were in a cafe in Vale. The two were ultimately taken off guard, since he was roughly the same age as them but served time in the military and travelled the world.
He also told them how the town he was from was destroyed in by the Grimm when he was very young, he then ended up getting picked up by some soldiers from Atlas where they took him in as a recruit.
Soap told them after a failed mission he decided to leave the army and try his luck in a Huntsman academy instead. But after a fateful meeting with Ozpin he was given a chance to get to know the facilities and train ahead of his soon-to-be fellow first years, and seeing no reason to say no he accepted.
When Soap had revealed it to the two he asked them not to tell anyone, since he prefered to keep his past a secret. After realizing that he trusted the two enough to tell them, they promised not to tell anyone unless he thought he could.
Needless to say, they grew close in the weeks Soap spent at Beacon with Coco being the same casual flirting fashionista that would find any and all reasons to drag him across Vale for a shopping spree, and Velvet trying and failing most of the time with her plans to take Soap for an outing, just the two of them, it wasn't like for a date or anything... she often told herself.
"Anyway, what brings you two ere'?" inquired Soap as he snapped Velvet out of her thoughts, "Ya don't usually come by the cafeteria until ten, so what's up?"
"Oh yeah." Coco eyes widened as she remembered their reasonings for coming to the cafeteria earlier than usual, "We were actually on our way to eat something filling and to find you."
Soap rasied a brow questionally, to which Velvet explained. "You see our team is actually being sent out for a mission, and we might be gone for a while. Coco sent Fox and Yatsuhashi out into Vale to grab anything we might need, while the two of us stayed back to make sure our gear was in order."
Soap shot Coco a dirty look as soon as he heard the part where she sent her two male team mates Fox Alistair and Yatsuhashi Daichi out into Vale, "Ya sure do love slave drivin', don't ya?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." most gullible people would've fallen for her innocent look, but as a survivor of one of Coco's shopping spree's that damned smile wouldn't fool Soap Mactavish as he simply sighed in exasperation, and hoped that they were getting normal things.
"Ahem, anyway our bullheads gonna be leaving in an hour so we thought we'd atleast tell you we were going to be leaving soon, and to wish you luck for the initiaton. Not that you'd really need it." added Velvet as she steered the conversation back on track.
"Yeah, and I'm glad I helped with your combat outfit. You gotta look good when fighting Grimm too ya know." said Coco as she took a second to appreciate the outfit that she made. The jacket and straps all the way down to the small buttons and leather belts, were all stitched and sewn together by her own hand. Despite not really knowing Soap all that well at first, she couldn't deny the thought of guiding a lost soul down the road of great fashion looks was too tantalizing an opportunity to turn away.
"Yeah I know, ya don't have ta bring it up every time." sighed Soap as he rolled his eyes.
Before they could continue their conversation any further a ping came from Coco's scroll as she checked it. After skimming through the message she let out a sugh as she rose form the table, "Welp, that's us Velv. Ozpin want's us out and ready since we'll be leaving early to meet up with Fox and Yatsuhashi in Vale."
Velvet nodded as she stood up, but not before sending a shy smile toward Soap, "Sorry for leaving out the blue like this. But when you officially get into Beacon I hope we can be able to hang more." her face turned a light shade of pink as she finished. Soap looked at Velvet for a bit before smiling and standing.
"Sure thing, and make sure you take care of yerself' on this mission, ya hear?" Soap placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Velvet was turning even redder from the gentle grip his hand had on her shoulder, but she wasn't about to shake him off.
"Okay you two that's enough," Coco chuckled as she slung her arms over both their shoulders, before steering them towards the exit.
Meanwhile at the top of Beacon tower...
Ozpin sat sipping hot chocolate from his signature mug as he looked a screen in front of him that showed the airships bringimg in the Beacon initiates, and future huntsman teams of Beacon.
He thought back to his fated encounter with the daughter of Summer Rose, Ruby Rose a few nights prior. Where the 15 year old had tried to stop a dust robbery that was seemingly orchastrated and led by Roman Torchwick, Vales resident big shot criminal. Although not being able to actually catch the criminal mastermind, she did manage to save the owner of the dust store that was robbed, as well as incapacitate the goons that were with Torchwick.
Although Glynda wasn't as pleased with her actions as Ozpin was. So when he met with her in the interigation room, he saw an opportunity and he took it.
The opportunity to get her in his school and train her properly to maybe bring into his inner circle, if he thought she could handle it. Ozpin knew Qrow would have problems with it at first, but Ozpin knew he could make him agree. But Ruby's father Taiyang on the other hand would be... difficult, to say the least.
"I really got my work cut out for me with two last minute enrollee's." lamanted Ozpin, "One is young, optimisstic and wildly naive to the true nature of the world, while the other is haunted by memories of guilt, and has seen the world in all it's shades of color, both good and bad. If the two were to meet would one lead the other down the path of heroics and undying optimissim, or would they lead the other into the world of deceit, lies, betrayal and death... only time will tell."
Ozpin's hand shook slightly as his fingers warpped tightly around his mug, "Mr Mactavish, what is the trua reason you are here? Is it to help or destroy? I only hope that the Brothers sent you here for the betterment of Remnant, and not it's downfall."
'Ever since he fell from the sky, I could almost feel the tides of destiny changing ever so slowly every second he trained, slept, ate and drew air. So I can only assume my first assumption is correct, that John Mactavish will change the course of Remnant. But if Salem were ever to catch wind of this, everyone the young man will come to know will be in danger.'
Ozpin, although not having been in direct contact with the Brothers for hundreds of years, believed that Soap was here to save him from his near endless war with his former love turned bitter enemy. Now all Ozpin had to do was play the waiting game, he had told Glynda that he was not comfortable enough with bringing up the topic of Salem with the world traveller but that was only half the reason.
Despite looking like a 17 year old, Soap Mactavish was not naive. The man was a soldier and a killer, he had the experience and skills of a veteran and add that with aura, semblences and a younger constitution. The man was dangerous and Ozpin knew it. The only thing he could do now was to wait and see.
Taking another sip of hot choclate Ozpin prepared himself to welcome Beacon's initiates.
Meanwhile on the airship to Beacon...
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me. This is the best day ever!" gushed a blonde girl as she trapped another girl, who seemed smaller and younger than the blonde, in a bear hug, said girl was struggling to breath.
"C-can't breath... please stop." she stammered as the taller blonde released the other girl form the hug. The other girl was short and petite with short black hair with red highlights, she wore a matching black and red dress complete with a hood and cape. She had a rather pale complexion and slightly puffy cheeks, signifying that she still had a small ammount of baby fat still on her face. She also had striking silver eyes. Breast size; D.
"But I'm so proud of you." the blonde continued to gush. She was taller than the younger girl, with a large and long mane of yellow hair that she let flow behind her, going down to her lower back, and bright lilac colored eyes that shone with mischeif. She wore a tight fitting brown leather jacket and black short shorts that brought out the shape of her lush smooth thighs and her large bust, both of which she wasn't ashamed of flaunting, whether for male or female eyes. Breast size; G.
"Really sis, it was nothing." said the younger girl, Ruby Rose to her older half sister Yang Xiao Long. Yang rolled her eyes at her sisters attempts to downplay her action.
"What do you mean, it was incredible. Everyone at Beacon's gonna think you're the bee's knee's." responded Yang excitedly, she was happy that her sister managed to get into Beacon, and was also brimming with pride that her little sister had managed to get in two years early.
Ruby pouted when she heard Yang, "But I don't wnat to be the bee's knee's! I don't wanna be any kind of knee's, okay. I just wanna be a normal girl with normal knee's.
"What's with you, aren't you excited?" asked Yang, crossing her arms over her large bust. Ruby sighed, "Of course I'm excited I just... I got moved up two whole years. I just don't want people to think I'm special or anything."
Upon hearing this Yang walked over to her sister and draped an arm over her shoulder, "But you are special." But before she could further elaborate on what she meant, the two's attention was caught by the news report playing on one of the screens inside the airship.
"-the robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick who continues to evade authorities." on the large screen was a picture of a man in a white and black suit with orange hair swept over his right eye, "If you have any information regarding him, please inform the Vale Police. Back to you Lisa."
The screen suddenly switched as it showed a female news anchor, "Thank you Ceryl, in other news this Saturdays Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organiztaion turned-" The screen abruptly cut off as it was soon replaced by a hologram of Glynda Goodwitch.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon," said the hologram.
"Who's that?" asked Yang.
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch."
"Oh." responded Yang as the two sisters listened to Goodwitch's greeting.
"You are among the privelaged few who have the honor of being selected for this prestigous academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect our world." and with that the hologram faded away leaving the aspiring Huntsmen and Huntresses brimming with excitment at their future prospects of becoming Remnants defenders.
"Oh, wow!" gasped Ruby as she rushed to the window, her and several other students gasped in awe as they gazed out the airship. "You can see Signal form up here!"
Yang walked over and stood beside her sister as the two gazed down at the jutting spiral towers of Signal, "Guess home's not too far afterall." Yang placed her hand on her sister's shoulder as she too smiled and enjoyed the view.
"But Beacon's our home now." Just as Yang said that the two turned to the sound of sick groans coming from behind them. The two turned to see a blonde boy holding his mouth as he tried his best not to throw up as he ran by them to look for a place where he could dump his stomach contents.
"Well, guess the views not for everyone." quipped Yang sarcastically.
"It was a nice moment while it lasted." added Ruby. "I wonder who were gonna meet."
"Uh, I just hope they're better than Vomit Boy." shrugged Yang. Suddenly there was a retch followed by Ruby and Yangs shouts, it was certainly a way to start off their adventure.
Soap walked along the path leading to Beacon as he decided to do a walk around the campus whilst waiting for the welcoming ceremony to begin, that and so he could check out new arrivals that were just landing. Looking ahead he was in awe at the sight of the large airships that landed at Beacon's port as they deposited a large number of teens.
He found himself always enjoying the sight of Remnants aircrafts, whether they were landing, taking off or in the process of flying. He never got tired of seeing the large advanced aircrafts with their large mass and propulsion mechanics which allowed them to grace the air.
'Regular ol' planes and choppers don't got nothing on these.' he mused before turning his attention to the new up and coming first years. The colorful crowd of people made it hard for him to spot any worthwhile individuals since a lot of people either belnded in or stuck out in their own ways, well except for a certain blonde who was hugging a near by trash can for dear life as he emptied everything he had eaten that day.
Upon seeing this, Soap thought back to the numerous times he had gotten sea sickness from riding on ships out at sea when he first joined the SAS. So he could sympathize with the sick blonde.
Making his way over he placed a comforting hand on the blondes shoulder as he continued to retch, "There, there mate. Let it all out."
"Ugh, thanks." he managed before he went down again. It took a good minute before the blonde recovered and Soap pulled out a hankercheif and handed it to him. Which the blonde accepted gratefully.
"Not much of a a flyin' person aye?" although the blonde wasn't the most promising looking, Soap wasn't one to leave someone hanging in the dumps. And the blonde reminded him of someone he knew.
"Y-yeah, didn't really travel through the air much where I'm from," he replied sheepishly. He was an inch shorter than Soap standing 6'1 with tousled blonde hair, blue eyes and a rather scraggly appearence. 'A steryotipical American teen. Minus the armor though.' Soap said in his mind. He wore a pair of jeans and a dark hoodie with several pieces of armor along his arms, shoulder and chest with a sword placed in a white hilt by his side.
The blonde recovered quickly seeing as the dark haired boy in front of him had taken the time to comfort him while he puked, and even gave him a hankercheif to wipe off any grime still on his body. He decided that proper introductions would be the first step to a good first... er... second impression, since the first impressions ship might've already sailed.
"The name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it."he said brightly with an outstretched hand. Soap took a moment to process the blondes words before letting out a light chuckle as he firmly grasped Jaunes hand, "I'm sure they will."
"John Mactavish, but me mates call me' Soap." as the two intorduced themselves they immediatly noticed the similarities in their names.
"Ha, kinda ironic how both our names sound the same." chuckled Jaune as he scratched his head awkwardly, Soap nodded as well since it would be kinda confusing later on when people called their names with the two in the same room. Soap also realized that the Jaunes name was literally the same as Joan of Arc the patron saint of France from Earth, with the defferences being he was male and a blonde who seemed very nervous and awkward.
It was something he began to notice after spending a while at Beacon, Ozpin, Glynda and the other teachers were all similar to some of Earth's legends and fairy tales. Ozpin; The Wizard of Oz, Glynda Goodwitch; The Good Witch of the South, Professor Oobeleck; Bartholomew and the Oobleck and Professor Port; Peter and the Wolf. That was among some of the things that managed to confuse Soap to no end as he was begining to get paranoid that everyone on Remnant was based of a charecter or concept from Earth, and his meeting with Jaune only cemented his theory. (But hey it's juuussttt a theory... I'm sorry I had to)
"I get what you're sayin', that's why I usually go by Soap instead of my actual name. Lotta people with similar names runnin' round lately." shrugged Soap as he got back to the matter at hand, "Where did ya say you were from?"
"Oh, I'm from a place called Ansel. Though you've probably never heard of it since it's pretty small." answered Jaune as the two began trailing behind the other students, "What about you?"
"Nowhere important, just a small town outside a' Vale. It's probably just as small, if not smaller than Ansel." replied Soap smoothly. This was the cover story he had come up with, that he was from a far away town outside of Vale that was the definition of backwater called Scottland. (he couldn't think of anything else while coming up with it)
"Bu' it was destroyed by tha' Grimm a while back," Jaune winced when he heard that detail, he thought he might've brought back some unpleasent memories when he asked where he was from.
"Oh, that must've been rough. I'm sorry." Jaune lowered his head solemnly. But he soon felt two strong pats on his back and when he looked up Soap gave him a reasuring grin. "Aye, don't worry bout' it. It's all in the past and you don't need to worry about me having bad memories of it, I just push em' down an' keep moving forward. The future doesn't wait around for ya, ya have to seize it and shape your own future and putting the past behind helps in the long run."
Despite only just arriving at Beacon, Jaune had managed to meet what he could describe as the coolest and most mature person he's ever met before. Not only was he cool looking, he was helpful and kind, not to mention wise. If his earlier statement was anything to go by, he had a very mature outlook on life.
It was that meeting that would be the budding flower of a great friendship at Beacon. (Foreshadowing)
Before the two could continue the conversation further, they heard a large explosion go off a way's away from them. Soap was immediatly in battle mode, with both hands ready to grab his weapon and push Jaune to cover, but Jaune stood obliviously seemingly scanning the courtyard for the cause of the explosion.
"Um, should we check that out?" asked Jaune while looking in the direction of the explosion where a small plume of smoke rose from it.
Soap nodded simply and the two began to make their way to investigate, as they got closer they heard the sounds of two feminine voices talking. Well one trying to talk and the other yelling. Upon arriving they were greeted by the sight of two girls standing inside a miniature crater, they were the source of the voices. There was also a black haired girl standing behind the two, though Soap speculated he might not help.
The one yelling was wearing a thigh high strapless dress which was mainly white with a faint light blue color gradation toward the hems of the dress, with snow flake designs around the skirt and a bolero the same color as her dress but lined in red with a ruffed collar. She had pale skin, white hair tied in a off-center ponytail and icy blue eyes with a scar similar to Soaps running diagnolly down her eye. She was a cool 5'3, although Soap could thank the heels she was wearing for extending her height. Breast size; C.
The girl who seemed to be getting a lecture wore a black dress consisting of a long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves and a large red hood. She also wore think blac combat boots with red soles and laces. She also had a strange hair tone of black and red, something that Soap hadn't seen before. She kept her head down as she looked for words to say, but was cut off by the white haired girl.
"You complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little too yound to be attending Beacon?" the white haired girl said, which in turn caused the black haired girl behind them to mumble something. Although only Soap caught that small action, since Jaune was busy trying to find a way to break up he conversation and calm down the two girls. "This isn't just your ordinary combat school. I's not just sparring or practicing you know, we're here to fight monsters. So, watch where you are going."
Soap, seemingly having enough of the girls tone stepped forward. Much to Jaunes surprise, as he called out the white haired girl. "Oi, ya don't 'ave to yell at her like that. I think she got your memo, so lay off!"
The two girls turned to face the newcomer. Ruby was surprised to see the tall dark haired boy come to her rescue followed by and equally tall, if not scruffy looking blonde. The white haired girl however was not as amused, "This girl bumped into me and spilled all my dust containers! This is why we shouldn't have amateurs who don't take things seriously into Beacon, I could've gotten blown away to Oum knows where!"
"I said I was sorry" whined Ruby.
"But ya didn't get blown away, did ya?" questioned Soap as he appraised the haughty girl, "And as she said, she already apologised so there's no need to get all pissy about it."
"Y-yeah, I'm sure it was an accident. Right?" added Jaune as he looked to Ruby, who nodded in response indicating that he was right about it being an accident.
The white haired girl looked furiously between the three people, but her attention was mostly focused on Soap. He looked back indifferently at the whie haired girl in response.
"Ok princess, ya need to calm down before you turn it into a big deal." said Soap calmly as he tried to decrease the tension that he accidently created.
"You-"
"It's heiress actually." a new voice added, making themselves known to the four people gathered. The black haired girl Soap spotted earlier stepped forward. She wore a black button coat with coattails and a silver button in the middle. Underneath was a white tight fitting, sleeveless high neck under shirt and matching spandex shorts complete with low heel boot and full stockings with a black to purple color gradation. Her long black hair hung loosely down her back and a black ribbon sat at the crown of her head, although Soap found something off about the bow. Breast size; F.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." Weiss smirked at the statement.
"Finally! Some recognition!"
"The same company infamous for it's controversial labor forces and questionable buisness partners."
"The same company infamous fer' it's controversial labor forces and questionable buisness parners."
Soap and the black haired girl looked at each other as they seemingly said the same thing in unison. The black haired girl narrowed her eyes as she studied Soap before turning her attention elsewhere.
"What? How dare you!" Weiss looked even more furious than she was before as she stormed off down the path to Beacon, but no without sending a venomous glare at Soap before promptly leaving. As Soap was about to say something to Weiss, Ruby siddenly appeared in forn of him in a burst of petals. "The hell?!"
Soap was admittedly taken aback by the sudden apearence of the small red riding hood esque girl, so he took a cautionary step back. "Thank you so much for helping! My names Ruby Rose, what's yours?"
"Hey, I helped also... kinda." muttered Jaune as he walked to stand beside Soap.
"... Names John Mactavish, nice ta' meet ya." responded Soap kindly as he still tried to get over his inpromptu jumpscare.
"Names Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue ladies love it." said Jaune with his signature greeting, Ruby cocked her head to the side as she asked Jaune, "Do they?"
"Um well, they will. Atleast I hope they do... My mom always said that, nevermind." Soap laughed at their small exchange, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the black haired girl was gone. "Must've buggered off while we were busy." thought Soap as he turned his attention back to Ruby and Jaune.
"Hey, aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"
"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a bigger problem than most people let on," argued Jaune as he tried to justify his reasonings for seemingly ruining the floor of the airship on his way to Beacon.
"Sorry, but Vomit Boy was the first thing that came to mind." said Ruby, "Oh yeah, well what if I call you Crater Face."
"Hey!" The three walked along one of the paths of Beacon as the two tried to find the place where the opening ceremony woyld take place. Soap played coy so as not to make himself seem suspicious since a student who got to Beacon three weeks early, and lived in the dorms for three weeks would be too suspicious and would raise a lot of questions he'd rather not answer.
So here they were wandering around. "Oh, that reminds me!" Ruby stopped to face the two boys. Soap found out from her that she was 15, meaning she skipped the two years one needed to train at a standard combat school and just got into Beacon. She explained that she was involved in trying to stop a dust robbery led by Roman Torchwick, which the led to her getting arrested and meeting Ozpin who gave her the opportunity to join his school.
"What are your weapons, can I see? Please, please, please..." Ruby had stars in her eyes as she waited expectantly for her two new found friends to show her their weapons. Soap was confused about her enthusiasum, but upon seeing her expectant gaze and pleading look he decided, "Oh what the hell. Guess she's just fan o' weapons, so no harm I guess."
"What's yours?" asked Jaune, in which Ruby smirked and pulle out a comically large scyth with the same color scheme as the little girl holding it. Soap found the image both funny and terrifying, because what 15 year old could weild an enormous scyth like that like it was nothing.
"This here is Crimson Rose, she's a both a deadly scyth and a customizeable, low recoil, high powered dust ejecting sniper rifle."
"Ah, what?" Jaune had question marks floatng above his head, "It's also a big sniper." explained Soap.
"Oh, that's cool."
"So what do you got." asked Ruby, after putting away Crescent Rose.
"Oh, uh... I go this sword, and a shield. Crocea Mores" Jaune unsheathed his sword and grabbed the sheath which turned into a shield. "Ooohhh." responded Ruby, "What else can they do?"
"Um, the sheild gets smaller, so when I put it away..."
"But wouldn't it weight the same?"
"Uh, yeah..."
"That's cool, no one really appreciates the classic these days." said Ruby, "Yeah, the classics."
"What about you Soap?" Ruby turned her attention to the Scottsman. Soap told Ruby to call him that as not to confuse him and Jaune. Soap hummed as he unsheathed Beira and switched it to it's greatsword form.
"This here beauty's Beira." Ruby went absolutely ballistic when she saw his weapon.
"Wow, so cool! Ithastwodustinfusedbladesandarevolvinghilttoplacedustinanditsasnipertoohowlongdidyoutaketomakeitwhattypeofdustdoyouusetoyouusebothbladeatthesametimeorseperately-"
Soap snapped Ruby out of her fangirl state by lightly knocking her on the head, "Easy, calm down. One question at a time, don't want ya havin' a stroke now." Jaun was also in awe with Beira and even though he wasn't the weapon expert Ruby was he could still tell that it was a very imressive weapon.
Ruby looked sheepishly a Soap as she realised she went into one of crazy weapon rants, "Sorry, I can be a bit of a weapon dork sometimes and tend to go a little over board when designing mine."
"Wait you designed yours?" asked Jaune, shocked to hear that she made her own weapon.
"Of course I did, everyone at Signal makes their own weapon. You did too didn't you Soap." Soap was surprised to hear that Ruby could tell he had crafted Beira on his own after just seeing it for a few seconds.
"Aye, tha' I did." nodded Soap.
"It must've take a lot of trial and error to make Beria, the craftmanship and detail are amazing." prasied Ruby as Soap switched Beira to it's sniper form.
"A few close amputaions, explosions and killer frosbite was worth it if ya ask me." shrugged Soap as he stroked the barrel of his sniper before shifting it to it's compact form. Ruby and Jaune's eyes widened when they heard about the details of him almost cutting off his hands while making it.
"Wait, wait, wait did you say amputation?" asked Jaune.
"I know I said that you must've gone through some trial and error, but I didn't think it was that bad." added Ruby, "I mean a few sparks here and there and maybe and explosion or two but that's pretty much it for me."
"Was yours hand made Jaune?" asked Ruby, turning her attention back to he blonde.
"No, it was a hand me down. My grandfather used it in the Great War."
"Sounds more like a famliy heirloom to me."
"Yeah." Soap noticed a look of brief sadness cross Jaunes features before it returned to his normal nervous smile. he three walked in silence for a while.
"Also I've been meaning to ask." started Ruby as she turned to face Jaune and Soap, "Why'd you guys help me out back there in the courtyard?"
"Eh, why not? My mom always said that strangers are just friends you haven't met yet." stated Jaune simply. And Soap, upon hearing this thought back to his own mother, but he quickly shook the thought away. Now was not the time to start remembering, there was a time and place for that.
"Smart advice ya mum gave." nodded Soap in agreement. Ruby simply hummed in agreement.
As the three walked in silence for a bit Ruby suddenly spoke up. "So do any of you know where we're supposed to be heading?"
"I though you knew the way, that's why I was following you." answered Jaune.
"What do you mean? I was following you." shot back Ruby. Soap promptly facepalmed at their ignorance.
"Do you think there might be a directory around here somewhere?" asked Jaune, in which Ruby shrugged helplessly.
"Bloody hell, come on guys. Follow me." sighed Soap as he led the two to where they were actually supposed to be.
In the amphitheater Yang waited around for any sign of her sister. She knew it was kinda mean to just leave her high and dry out of nowhere, but she had to learn how to interact with people that weren't weapons. While aimlessly scanning the auditorium for signs of her sister and promptly shutting down any guys that tried to hit on her, Yang spotted Ruby coming through the entrance followed by two boys.
"Oh. Did my little sister manage to procure two boys to escort her all the way here," said Yang with a sly grin as she planned on how to make Ruby all flustered when she arrived. But upon getting a good look at the two boys she couldn't help but whistle under her breath when she layed eyes on the taller dark haired boy chatting with Ruby.
The blonde was cute in his own way, in a scraggly, nervous kinda way. The darker haired boy seemed to carry himself with confidence and experience. Yang could smell a fighter from a mile away and the stud in front of her reeked.
He also had a unique look to him that Yang couldn't help but appreciate, she also needed her fair share of eye candy now and again. Suddenly Ruby spotted her staring and promptly marched up to her seemingly dragging the taller boy along wih her like it was nothing, even he was surprised by the strength of the small reaper. The blonde boy was left looking confused as he stood alone before sighing and walking away to different part of the auditorium.
Ruby walked up to Yang with an angry puffed up face, "How's your first day going little sister?" Yang asked Ruby. While sending a discreet galnce at the young blue eyed young man behind Ruby.
"You mean when you ditched me and I exploded." retorted Ruby angrily. "Jeez, melt down much."
"No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school, with fire and explosions and I think some ice?"
Yang smiled and asked in a joking tone, "Are you being sarcastic right now?"
"No, she really did explode. As in physically, not' mentally, at least I don't think so." replied Soap. "Soap! That's mean!" said Ruby while angrily pouting.
"Soap?" echoed a confused Yang, she was surprised by the accent. Ruby then remebered the other reason she came here was to introduce Soap to Yang, since he found him really cool. She also promptly forgot about Jaune while in her rush to get mad at her sister for abandoning her.
"Oh right. Soap this is Yang, my sister. Yang this is Soap, he saved me from further embarassing myslef earlier after I accidently sneezed on some rich girls dust."
"Wait, you really did explode!"
"I told you I did!"
"Oh, okay." Yang walked over and held out a hand to Soap, "Yang Xiao Long, nice to meet you. And thanks for looking afer my sister, hope she wasn't too annoying."
Yang ignored Ruby's indistinct 'hey' as Soap returned her gesture with a firm squeeze. "Damn, this guys pretty really well built." Yang could feel the muscles of is hands that could only be acquired via training and hardwork and she unconciously licked her lips, "Yang likey~"
"Eh, I did'n mind. And she wasn't that annoying, a little unpredictable but okay."
"AW, not you too." groaned Ruby as Soap chuckled at her antics.
"Siblings am I right? It's almost like were Yin and Yaaang~" Ruby groaned at the god-awful pun while Yang waited for a reaction from Soap. He stared at her blankly for a few seconds before letting out a snort and a small laugh. "Jayzus, that was so bad it's actually funny."
"Aha! Finally someone who appreciates my artistic puns." Yang said tiumphantly while looking at her sister who was still trying to recover from the terribble pun.
"Yer puns remind me of a friend of mine who made the same types of em', heard em' so many times I just gave up tryng to fight the puniness."
At that moment when Yang and Soap locked eyes and a pact was made in that split second, a pact of really, really, really bad puns. Yang smiled and laughed before turning to face Ruby, "I like this guy, you caught a nice one."
Ruby's face turned the same shade of red as her outfit as she began banging her hands against Yangs shoulder, "Yaaang, don't make it weird." Soap simply chuckled at the antics of the two sisters before they were suddenly interupted by a familiar pissed off voice.
"You!"
Ruby, upon hearing Weiss's voice, squeaked in surpirise and quickly hid behind Yang, "Oh no it's happening again!"
"You're lucky we didn't get blown off the side of the cliff," Weiss yelled angrily at Ruby with her hands on her side. " And you," she said, glaring at Soap, "I don't know who you are or where you're from, but I don't think Beacon's the right place for people like you."
"People like me?" repeated Soap with a raised brow. He tried to discern what she meant but Yang came into the conversation suddenly.
"Ok you three, that's enough. How about you guys start over and introduce yourselves." said Yang calmly, mainly addressing Weiss. Ruby perked up immdetiatly and jumped forward toward Weiss.
"Hi Weiss, my names Ruby Rose. Wanna hang out at the mall together and look for school supplies." she said hopefully.
Weiss smiled sarcastically as she spoke, although Ruby didn't notice, "Yeah and we could paint our nails and talk about cute boys like tall and scraggily over there," Weiss jabbed a finger at Jaune who immediately perked up upon hearing his description.
"Really!?" said Ruby excitedly.
Both Yang and Soap facepalmed at Rubys clear ignorance. Weiss frowned and her smile did a complete 180, "No" she said bluntly. Ruby looked down in defeat while Yang patted her back to comfort her failed attempts to make ammends. Soap shook his head and sighed at the little heiress's inability to be nice and non-hostile.
Before any words could be said however, Ozpin appeared on stage with a mic in hand as he addressed the gathered crowd in fornt of him. All the students quieted down as they waited to hear what the schools famous headmaster would say, "I'll keep this brief. You have travelled here today in search of knowledge. To hone and craft new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction." All the students listened attentively, but Soap narrowed his eyes as a memory of Sheperd seemingly saying something similar as he sent his men to die in war that he helped cause.
"You assume that knowledge will free you from this, but your time in this school will prove knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin ended his speech, cane in hand he walked off the stage leaving the people gathered in a thoughtful state.
Goodwitch then walked up to the mic, " You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." The ceremony ended and the students began to make their way out of the amphitheater.
"He seemed kind of... off," Yang said, voicing her opinion on the headmaster.
"It's almost like he wasn't even there." added Ruby.
Soap nodded in agreement. In the few days leading up to the students arrival, Soap had noticed Ozpin acting a little out-of-it lately. Like his body was there but his mind and soul were somewhere else.
The four stood in silence for a couple of seconds until Jaune came up to the group and addressed Weiss, "I'm a natural blonde you know." he said, making Weiss palm her face, already tired of the blonde. Soap laughed at Weiss's expense and shook his head at Jaunes attempts to flirt.
The crowd he was with were more lively than his friends back on Earth. Ruby, Jaune, Yang even Weiss, Soap could tell that in the coming weeks there would never be a dull moment when hanging around the people he may come around to call friends.
In Beacon's ballroom...
"Wow, it's like a big slumber party." said Yang out loud as she sat beside Ruby on their sleeping bags. Ruby was busy writing something into the little booklet she was holding while Yang lazed about next to her.
They were both in their pajamas, with Yangs being a orange tank top that firmly hugged her bust and black short shorts that hugged her meaty thighs nicely. Ruby wore a black tank top with a Beowolf print and long white pants decorated with pink roses, although seemingly not having any sort of appeal as Yangs, Ruby still looked cute as hell wearing it.
"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though." Ruby added while looking up from what she was writing.
"I know I do~" Yang purred as she looked at all the boys who had their shirts off and were flexing and flaunting their muscles for attention, until Jaune walked up in a rabbit onesie which kinda ruined her eyes feast. That was until she saw Soap relaxing at his own corner polishing his boots.
Yang noticed Soap weaing a tight fitting black tank top that hugged his pecs and abs firmly while emphasizing his muscle tone. His arms were tone and muscular and two tatoo's sat on either side of his biceps. He had a concentrated look as he focused solely on cleaning his boots, somthing which Yang was grateful for since that way he wouldn't be able to notice the drool leaking from her mouth as she stared.
'Wow, I thought he worked out and was fairly well built. But boy was I wrong~" Yang continued to stare for a few more seconds, as she imprinted his body into her mind for ahem, later reviewing. She needed to find somewhere else to look and fast otherwise she'd begin self reviewing right then and there and she prefered to do that privately if possible.
So reluctantly turning her attention back to Ruby, sho looked curiously at what she was writing. "Watcha doing?"
"Oh, just writing a letter to my friends back at Signal. Telling them about Beacon and how things are going."
Yang had a wide grin on her face, "Oooooo, that's so cute," a pillow from Ruby promptly shut her up.
"Shut up! I didn't get to bring my friends over here. It's weird not knowing anybody over here..."
"What about that guy Jaune? He's... nice, there you go! Plus one friend," said Yang helpfully, "And Soap's a pretty nice guy on his own, very nice." Ruby shot her sister a look, "Yang, you're being weird again."
Ruby sighed once again, "Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. So guess I'm down to one."
"Don't be silly. You just have two friends and one enemy," argued Yang, to which Ruby sighed in response. Suddenly the strike of a match caught the two's attention causing to look at the source. It was the same ribbon wearing girl that had told Weiss off along with Soap. She was wearing a black robe and showing off her plae silky thight. The girl was reading a book with a lit candle next to her.
"That girl..."
"You know her?" Yang asked Ruby, earning a nod from the girl.
"Yeah she's the one who told me about Weiss, both her and Soap. She also helped out in her own way." responded Ruby. Yang looked at the girl with the bow and then back her baby sister, then an idea popped into her head.
"Why don't you go talk to her?" Ruby shot her sister a confused look.
"I don't know Yang, when I first met her she didn't seem to me like she wanted to make any friends."
"That's nonsense. Come on!" Yang reached out and grabbed Rubys hand, yanking her out of her sleeping bag, "What are you doing!?" Ruby whispered angrily at her sister. Yang didn't pay Ruby any mind as she dragged her towards the place where the bow wearing girl was sitting.
"What're you guy's even doing?" Yang turned to see Soap behind her and Ruby with a hand on his hip and a cocked eyebrow.
"Oh nothing, just wanna expand Ruby's friend circle by talking with that bow wearing girl over there." explained Yang while indicating her head to the black haired girl in the corner of the ballroom. Soap's eyes widened in understanding and recognition as he nodded.
"You wanna come too?" asked Yang, Ruby just stood and waited for his answer. If Soap agreed than maybe she'd have the nerve to not make a fool out of herself, but if he refused it might prove to be a daunting task to try make friends with the mysterious black haired girl. Soap thought about it for a second before shrugging and saying, "Sure, don't got nothin' ta' do anyway."
Yang grinned as she picked up Ruby by the scruff of her neck and all but dragged her to where the black haired girl, Blake sat minding her own buisness.
While reading quietly, Blake heard the shuffle of approaching footsteps. Lifting her head from her book she noticed three people walk up to her, two of whom she recognized from the scuffle earlier that day and the other one someone she had never met before.
"Helllooooo! I think you two may know eachother?" Yang asked Blake.
Blake raised a brow before turning to look at Ruby, "Aren't you the girl that exploded?"
"Um yeah, ha. My names Ruby," she put her hand out for Blake to shake, but go no sort of response from the black haired beauty. "Or you could call me crater face..." Ruby quickly silenced herself, and Soap upon noticing Ruby's growing shyness he decided to help her out by introducing himself.
Soap cleared his throat as Blake focused her attention on him. "Nice ta' meet ya. Name's Soap."
"Soap?" echoed Blake, having the same confused tone and expression as Yang when she first heard it. Soap groaned as Yang and Ruby giggled, "It's something of a nickname a' sorts."
"I think it's because you clean up real nice," joked Yang as she winked at him, this in turn caused Ruby to groan at the pun while Soap chuckled lightheartedly. Blakes mouth twitched upwards seeing the warm exchange between the three. "He doesn't seem all that bad." thought Blake while looking at Soap.
"Blake." she said with a nod towards Soap.
"I'm Yang by the way!" Yang said out loud to Blake, to which she responded by rolling her eyes and focusing back on her book.
"I like your bow!' tried Yang.
"Thanks..." Blake kept her eyes on her book.
"It goes great with your pajamas!" Yang said, trying to get Blake to say something else but failed.
"Right..."
Soap silently facepamled at the awkward turn the conversation was taking, he agreed to follow because he thought it would be best to get Ruby some more friend options since he thought it would help the tiny reaper get over her anxiety. But that was proving to be an even more difficult task.
Ruby and Yang looked at eachother while they though of what to ay to the quiet mellow girl, "Nice night don't you think?"
"Yes, it's lovely. Almost as lovely as this book..." Yang and Ruby blinked twice, waiting for her to elaborate on what she meant. Soap already knew where she was going wih the conversation and he was just waiting to see what would happen.
"That I will continue to read." Ruby and Yang kept their attention on her which caused her frustration to grow. "As soon as you leave." Ruby looked down in defeat while Yang thought how hopeless it was to talk to her.
"Aaannnd, there it is." sighed Soap inwardly. The exchange between the sisters and the Blake reminded Soap of how his first conversation with Ghost went, badly.
"Yeah, this girl is a lost cause." whispered Yang to Soap.
"I don't think so." responded Soap, which caused Yang to tilt her head in confusion before she heard Ruby spoke up again.
"What's it about?" Ruby asked, directing her question to Blake.
"Huh?" Blake asked in confusion, not sure if she heard her the first time.
"Your book I mean, does it have a name?" Ruby asked in genuine curiosity.
"Well... it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body." explained Blake, she seemed to get slightly happier when talking about books.
"Just like with Ghost..." Soap chuckled inwardly. Ghost wasn't the easiest guy to get along with at first, but when Soap finally found some common ground with him their friendship took off from there. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it to Soap.
"Oh yeah, that's real lovely." said Yang in a sracastic and dissmissive tone, to which Soap responded by jabbing at her lightly with his elbow.
Ruby steps forward and continues, "I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters. They're one of the reasons I want to be a Huntress."
"Why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?" asked Blake in an almost mocking tone.
"Well, I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books. As someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves." Ruby finished with wonder and conviction in her eyes.
"That's very ambitious for a child. Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale." Balke said with a look of depression, one that Soap mirrored.
"I agree with 'er." Soap decided to give his own two cents into the conversation, "The real world isn't all sunshines and rainbows, it's also a dark, evil place. Pride and conviction mean nothin in the eyes o' certain death, in the end heroes or villains... we'll all end up in the ground either way."
Blake and Yang were caught off guard by the look on Soap's face as he talked about how real the world was, his eyes looked old and dead as he stared at his hands. It was the look of someone who'd experienced a lot of hardships but still came out on top.
"Well, that's why we're here. To make it better." said Ruby with a look of hope. Soap's eyes widened slightly upon hearing her voice filled with hope and conviction, so much so that a familiar image overlapsed with Ruby's as Soaps eyes watered ever so slightly. He then let out a laugh.
"Heh, guess yer' right Ruby. Thanks."
"Thanks for what?" asked Ruby, confused at Soaps gratitude.
"Nothin, ya just reminded me of something someone very close to me said a long time ago."
Blake stared curiuosly at the Scottsman. He seemed very mature and patient for his age, he also seemed to have a rather dark past judging by the way he looked when Ruby brought up her childish ambitions. But just as suddenly as he switched from a quiet bystander to an experienced war veteran and then to his kind self was a bit much for the disguised faunus.
That also brought back the topic of earliers conversation in the courtyard. Soap seemed to know quite a bit about the SDC's less than stellar background and seemed to despise the SDC as much as other faunus, if his reaction to meeting Weiss was anything to go by. Blake wanted to find out more about this human because he seemed woefully different from the rest of Remnants humans.
"What in the world is going on over here?!" Weiss said as she approached in her nightwear consisting of a faded blue nightgown with short sleeves and a white trim and displays the Schnee Crest on the upper right chest. She removed her side ponytail and let her hair down. "Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep?"
Yang and her then notice the other's presence and they both simultaneously yelled, "Oh not you again!"
Ruby then appears between them, "Guys, she's right. People are trying to sleep." she said worriedly.
"Oh, now you're on my side?" says Weiss indignantly.
"I was always on your side!" countered Ruby. Soap shot a glance to Blake who seemed even more annoyed by the events happening in front of her sleeping area. Her bow twitched slightly, which caused Soap to blink since he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. Deciding that finding out the 'Mystery of the Twitching Bow' was a task for another day he signed her discreetly.
Turning to look at Soap, Blake saw him indiacate toward Yang, Weiss and Ruby than he made a snuffing gesture with his pointer and thumb directed to the candle she had lit earlier. Looking down at her book then back to Soap she made an annoyed face as she nodded, Soap smiled and gave her a two finger salute beofre walking to the three girls.
"What's your problem with my sister? She's only trying to be nice!" Yang said hotly, defending her sister.
"She's a hazard to my-" Weiss was suddenly cut off when Soap walked in between the arguing girls.
"Like ya said lass, people are tryin ta' sleep. So ya might wanna shut up too." said Soap coldly, "Tomorrows initiation, so if yer' done runnin yer' mouth you best rest up. Cause I'd hate to see a pissy girl with all bark and no bite get killed because o' a bit of petty pride."
Soap sent one last look before walking off toward his sleeping area, leaving all three girls with varying looks as they watched his retreating back. Weiss, obviously, looked absolutely mortified. The nerve of that guy to talk to her like that, like she was some sort of pathethic lap dog than only knew how to run her mouth. She would wait until tomorrow to put the oaf in his place, but a part of her couldn't help but remember the cold tone he used on her but decided to leave it.
Yang was shocked about his instant transition from calm to cold, but she couldn't deny that the way he looked and spoke at that moment sent an exciting shiver down her spine. She decided she might need a to visit the bathroom before bed. (totally not sus)
Ruby however, looked worriedly at the direction Soap left. He seemed to not take kindly to Weiss's seemingly haughty and prideful way of speaking. She hoped that her friend was okay and wanted both him and Weiss to maybe get along if possible.
Suddenly the room was plunged into darkness as Blake snuffed out the candle she had lit. Leaving the three girls to return quietly to their beds as the students drifted off into a peaceful slumber, all except one who knew the nightmares would come back to haunt him once again.
Wow... that was a chore. ;P
Sorry for the long wait, a lot of stuff came up but nothing I couldn't handle. This chapter was woefully longer than the other due to the introductions and interactions of the cast of RWBY, but I pulled through.
Next chapter is gonna be a bit of a surprise, something to add more to Soap's lore. But I promise the chapter after that will be Beacons initiation where I will finally reveal Soap's semblence. And I have to thank na,misfit,fox for his suggestion.
SO next time on SAS on Remnant; Will Soaps interactions with the people he's met so far affect his mental state in a good or bad way, and will his unrelenting nightmares affect him futher in his journey to become a Huntsman? You'll have to find out next time on; 'New Friends Bring Back Old Memories.'
Also like I said, leave a review for who you think out of the female RWBY cast would make a great lover for Soap.
Anyway have a good one. :)
