Patch-ing Up Some Relaxation and Fun
Sun and Menat are sitting on the couch together watching a TV anime show and eating some snacks while Chun-Li is working at the police station as usual, they're currently relaxing from the fight with the White Fang, Roman, and Vega last week which also involves Blake who was a former member. Luckily for them, today is the start for the Hunter students in Beacon and other Hunter schools in Remnant having a two-week break from training and relaxing as much as they can before the start of a new semester. Sun and Menat have done some fun stuff together during the first week of the break including doing some combat training with Chun-Li's help as well.
"I wonder what Blake and her team are doing during their break?" Sun asked curiously.
"My crystal ball sense that you're about to get your answer when this show goes on break." Menat predicted looking into her crystal ball.
"I thought you were taking a break too?" Sun confused.
"I am from my Huntress training, but I always take my fortune-telling training seriously so I can show my Master how much I've been approving." Menat explained.
"I guess that's cool, but I still think you need to get a break from that. I don't want to see you exhausting yourself and pass out." Sun said concern.
"That's very sweet of you to say, Sun." Menat giggled as she puts her crystal ball down on the counter.
Then just when the anime show went to commercial break, Sun's Scroll vibrates with a ringing tone of the jungle theme getting the blonde monkey boy's attention and pick up to see the caller ID to be Blake calling him.
"Hey Blake, what's up?" Sun asked as he answered his Scroll, he saw Menat giving him a smirk that her prediction was correct.
"Hey Sun, I was just calling to see how you're doing after the incident last week." Blake said.
"Doing okay, just watching some TV with Menat right now." Sun said lazily a little.
"Well, Yang and Ruby have invited me and Weiss to come spend some time at their home on Patch, and Yang was wondering if you would come with us?" Blake explained.
"Really? I've never been to Patch before or any other places besides Mistral during my time in Haven Academy." Sun mentioned as he spent most of his life back in Vacuo with his mom.
"It's a small island to the West of Vale, it's also where Yang and Ruby did their training with their mom and gone to Signal Academy. It's also infested with some Grimm, but nothing major and all." Blake explained.
"Cool, I don't actually have any plans to do for the break. It would be nice to see other places of Vale while I'm here though I'll have to check with Chun-Li first if she's okay with it." Sun excited to see another new place in Vale.
"That's cool, we're gonna be spending a week there, so make sure you pack some clothes for the week and bring your own toothbrush." Blake informed.
"Sheesh, you sound like my mom." Sun chuckled.
"Hey Sun, mind if I tag along to Patch?" Menat asked.
"Oh, hey Blake, would it be cool if Menat comes with us too?" Sun asked.
"Sure, she was a big helped finding out about the White Fang's move at the warehouse area." Blake agreed.
"Sweet! What time are you girls going?" Sun asked.
"In a few hours from now, we'll meet you guys at the Bullhead Airport." Blake answered.
"Got it, see you there." Sun said before hanging up his Scroll and turning to Menat.
"She said you can come and they're leaving for Patch in a few hours." Sun informed.
"Then we better get packing." Menat excited as she went to the guest room to start packing some clothes while Sun makes a call to Chun-Li.
(Island Patch)
"Thanks for inviting us to hang out with you guys." Sun thanked as he and Menat are walking alongside with team RWBY on the path to Yang and Ruby's home.
"No problem, I figure you would be getting bored during the first week without any extreme fun to do." Yang proclaimed.
"Well, we did some combat training for the classes and the Vytal Festival with Chun-Li's help, went to the arcade a couple of times, and we went fishing for a while." Menat listed the things she and Sun did together during the first week of the break.
"Sounds like you two had some fun." Blake said in a slightly lower tone.
"Yeah, they were great and all though I kinda wish something more exciting would happen." Sun stated.
"Like what, entering a banana eating contest?" Weiss joked.
"Nah, I did that yesterday and I got these awesome things as the grand prizes." Sun showed the girls his golden trophy in one hand and a simple-looking banana in the other.
Weiss jaws drop as the banana contest joke was actually real and Sun won first place.
"Cool, you got a trophy and is that banana part of the prize?" Ruby wondered about the banana.
"Well, if you watched any spy movies that not everything is what it seems." Sun smirked as he peeled yellow cover of the banana revealing inside that it's actually a white-yellow gun.
"Oh, a banana-gun, that'll surely give others the 'slip' when you shoot." Yang punned making everyone groans except Sun as he chuckles a bit.
"Maybe, though I think won't find this 'a-peeling' in a fight." Sun punned, this time the girls laughs.
"Wow, you're jokes are better than Yang's puns." Ruby blurted out laughing a bit.
"Hey! My puns are the Ultimate Comedy Gold!" Yang snapped with her eyes turning red.
"Sorry Yang, didn't mean make you feel all 'red' in the eyes." Sun punned again and the girls laugh, this time Yang laughs with them too.
"Okay, okay, I'll admit you got a funny-bone in you, but my puns are still better." Yang refused to be defeated in the art of puns and funniness.
"Whatever you say." Sun shrugged.
"So, Menat, how long have you been a fortune-telling?" Blake asked curious.
"Since I was a little girl, I saw my Master battling against some Grimm and use her fortune-telling to help others find their destiny or perhaps change their fate. I admired my Master and studied under her for as long as I can remember until she sent me to train in Shade Academy to become a Huntress." Menat explained as she recalls all the times she trained with her Master.
"Sounds like you really like fortune-telling." Blake pointed out.
"I do and the readings we give are 100%, not like those cheap men trying to give out fake fortunes." Menat said angry about those phony fortune-tellers.
"I always wonder what getting my reading is like, sometimes I read the fortune from a fortune cookie." Weiss mentioned.
"I read a fortune cookie once about leaping ahead of my life, guess it was true when I got into Beacon two years early." Ruby said.
"That's pretty cool, you must've really impressed the Headmaster with your awesomeness." Sun commented, making Ruby blush a little.
"Yeah, she managed to stop Roman from robbing a Dust shop and got five men arrested." Yang bragged, proud of her little sister's achievement.
"But Roman got away and somehow he's working with the White Fang and this Shadaloo group." Blake reminded.
"What is Shadaloo exactly?" Sun asked.
"I heard of them before, they're a dark organization that have taken over small towns and work in secret with stealing some Dusts, money, and anyone who gets in their way are tortured and killed without mercy. They even tried to get my family's company but failed." Weiss explained.
"I have a feeling we'll be seeing them again in the near future." Sun stated, he looks to Menat who gave him a nod.
"Okay, how about we stop talking about the bad guys and focus on our last week of break because we're here!" Ruby gestured toward her home.
The house Ruby and Yang live for most of their life is a two-story log cabin with what appears to be a sheet metal roof in dull red. The interior of the home features wooden walls and floorboards throughout the house. And standing in front of the house is a woman with a warm smile.
"Yang, Ruby, welcome home." The woman greeted.
"Hey/Hi, mom." Yang and Ruby greeted.
The woman looks very similar to Yang; they share the same facial shape. However, her is jet black, her eyebrows are a little bit higher, her complexion is significantly lighter and slight age lines are under her eyes. Her hair is tied by a red bandanna and loosely done up in a ponytail with the ends resembling curved black feathers. A cowlick can be seen protruding from the top of her head, similar to that of Yang's and she has red eyes. She wears a shallow cut black and red dress with black shorts underneath, with series of beaded necklaces and a belt that wraps around her waist and carries her weapon's sheath. Attached also is a long black object that is either fur or feathers, with a red and white bandana material like hanging from behind her. Her forearms bear red armored gauntlets that protrude outwards and solid black gloves. And Solid black leggings. Breasts sizes: HH-cup.
"Everyone, this is our mom, Raven Branwen Xiao Long." Yang introduced her friends to her mom.
"Mom, these are our friends: Weiss, Blake, Sun, and Menat. And the four of us makes team RWBY!" Ruby said cheerfully.
"Wow, that's not confusing at all." Raven rolled her eyes, making Ruby chuckles nervous.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Weiss greeted curtsy.
"Hello." Blake waved.
"Greetings." Menat smiled.
"What's up?" Sun greeted with a thumb up.
"Yang, if you're gonna bring home a guy make sure you're on pills." Raven teased.
"Mom!" Yang blushed of embarrassment.
"Wait, why does Yang need pills whenever she brings home a guy?" Ruby confused.
"We'll take about it when you a couple years older." Raven said before escorting everyone inside.
"Oh, nice dig you're living in." Sun complimented seeing the house on the inside like one of those log cabins in the woods that people would go to for a forest vacation.
"Thanks, it can be a little boring sometimes, but it does have the charm to make you feel comfortable." Raven stated as she sits on the couch.
"So, any interesting happened while we were at Beacon?" Ruby asked.
"Nothing much, been on a few missions and I think there's a little someone who misses you." Raven mentioned and a barking sound is heard from upstairs.
"ZWEI!" Ruby shouted in joy as she rose-speed to the stairs and open her arms before getting tackled to the floor by a small dog.
"Oh, I miss you too, Zwei." Ruby giggled as the dog licks her face. She gets up showing her two teammates, Sun and Menat the dog.
"Guys, I would like you all to meet Zwei!" Ruby smiled and Zwei barks.
Zwei is a black-headed tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi with gray eyes and a bobbed tail.
"(A dog. Of course, they would have a dog.)" Blake thought as her feline instinct cause her to become nervous around dogs.
"I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable with a drooling, mutt that is…" Weiss paused looking at Zwei for a few seconds and her personality on the dog turns 180 degrees. "The most adorable and cutest little thing ever! Yes, are you, aren't you so cute." Weiss tickled Zwei under the chin making him happy.
"Please it him away from my belongings." Blake said.
"Looks like Zwei's cuteness has melted the Ice Queen's heart." Sun joked.
"Be quiet, you!" Weiss glared at Sun.
"So, girls, I saw an interesting news last week involving the White Fang trying to steal some Dusts with Roman which was a surprise since the White Fang hates humans." Raven mentioned making the teens flinched a bit.
"You two wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" Raven asked with a raise eyebrow.
Ruby and Yang became nervous with anime sweats rapidly appearing behind them while they try to think of a good excuse to tell their scary mom hopefully to not let her know that Blake was involve in the fight there and Ruby getting shot by Roman when she tried to help.
"Well, we heard about it… from the news on our Scrolls." Ruby lied horribly as Yang facepalmed.
"Hmm, maybe it's better to ask you cat-Faunus friend about the incident that night." Raven looked at Blake with a shock expression.
"What… how do you know that?" Blake asked.
"I saw the small movement of your bow meaning you're hiding those cat ears behind them." Raven answered.
"Yeah, being raised and trained in a bandit tribe makes her have good eyes on certain things." Yang chuckled.
"Wait, your mom was raised in a bandit tribe?" Weiss gasped.
"Yep, you could say I was born into it until I got to Beacon and met my team then started a family. To be honest, I never expected myself to be a mother or something, but here I am." Raven explained before drinking some tea from a little blue cup.
"Come on, we'll show you the guest rooms." Ruby said, escorting her friends upstairs to the guest rooms though Sun stayed behind staring at Raven.
"What?" Raven asked.
"Sorry, it just you look oddly familiar for some reason." Sun said trying to figure out why.
"You better not stare at me too much, people may get the wrong idea." Raven smirked with a wink that made Sun blush and hurry upstairs.
"Hehe, cute kid." Raven laughed a bit.
The girls have just finish settling their things and settled themselves a bed to sleep on as Yang and Ruby's room are next door and across the hallway.
"Hey Yang, how offend does your mom travel?" Sun asked.
"Mostly on Huntress missions, why?" Yang asked back.
"I don't know, I feel like I've seen her before, but I can't put my finger on it." Sun said as he threw his bag to his bed and look out the window.
"Hey, you guys got a training dummy." Sun noticed a man-shaped training dummy in the backyard.
"Yeah, we used those for hand-to-hand combat training which Ruby still sucks at that." Yang said.
"Shut up, these hands are for making weapons." Ruby stated.
"Mind if I get a whack at it?" Sun asked to try on the training dummy.
"Sure, we can go right… now." Yang surprised that Sun open the window and jump out to the backyard.
"Sun has always enjoys fighting for the fun and pushing through his limit." Menat explained.
Raven saw Sun fall from the second floor to the backyard which got her curious seeing him walk toward the training dummy, then her eyes widen when Sun started throwing some punches and kicks as the movements themselves are familiar to her.
"Those moves… could it be…?" Raven wondered until the next move Sun did really made her remember.
"Hadouken" Sun blasted the training dummy but making sure not to destroy it.
"The Ansatsuken…!" Raven gasped as she drops her teacup and it shatters on impact.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
It looks like Sun has made a good impression on Raven how quickly recognize the fighting style the monkey boy was doing to that training dummy, or perhaps she's scared because of that very fighting style as that will be reveal soon as the Hunters in training are enjoying their last week of break.
Hope you like seeing Raven here as one of the good guys in this story though probably wondering where Taiyang is, you'll find that out in the next chapter and… you probably won't like it.
