Sorry for my bad English.
Ryan and Chocolat already are characters starring another of my fics, but I felt they needed the presence of the other characters I created as well. Besides, I like to think about what will happen if I mix them in whatever is happening. Except for my OC based fic where they are involved in their own problems, nothing that will change the course of the original story. So here comes another OC for the story.
I was always curious about character who are in the background are doing or reacting in those situations while the main characters are taking care of the main threat. This made me start a fiction about characters on the background, with their own problems and adventures but soon getting involve in the mess that will happen eventually.
Even if is not an idea with potential, I like to think about it. Never was curious to think about what is in the background character's mind while witnessing all the battle or destruction?
I said enough. To the fic!
Beacon for most of the people seeing the academy from the city was a place where heroes were creating more heroes, but for the young ninja was a place of hypocrisy. His scarf was being blow by the wind as he watches the structure approaching from his spot above the Bullhead.
If Ozpin thinks he can do whatever he wants, he will show how wrong the headmaster is.
Courtyard
-What if we added a spear connecting both guns? –Ruby asked while holding one of Chocolat's guns.
Both teams and the duo were enjoying their day off from classes, doing exactly the same thing they usually do while together and not in classes. Blake was not interested in their conversation and was reading another book while Weiss was taking care of her nails. The rest was engaging in Ruby's talk about giving a upgrade in the weapons of Jaune, Ryan and Chocolat.
-Why a spear? –The brunette asked.
-You know pole dance, right? –Ruby asked, surprising the duo.
-You know pole dance? –Jaune asked.
-Yes, why?
-So… you do pole dancing?
-It is not what you are thinking Ryan.
-What do you mean?
-Her dance is the type it can be used with a spear! –Ruby stated.
-Ruby, do you know how someone does pole dance? –Ryan asked.
-They dance using a pole?
-Kind like that. –Chocolat said.
-Before anyone asks, I had to protect her innocence. –Yang stated.
-I think you went a little too much in that. –Blake muttered.
-At least she did not chase me around with her weapon. –Ryan muttered after.
-Hey! –Blake shouts. –Yang too chased you around the academy, and was just in last week!
-For cutting some of her hair, not from a different opinion.
Ryan's answer made Blake blushes in embarrassment, earning a giggle from Yang.
-I think it is the first time someone was able to run away from Yang after messing with her hair. –And Ruby's statement wiped the smile from the blonde girl's lips.
-How did this happened anyway? –Ren asked. –You only use a pair of revolvers.
-It inside the holders they both have…
-Can we go back to the topic in hand, please? –Ruby interrupted Ryan trying to make the topic of their conversation go back to weapons. –So what do you say Chocolat?
-I say that my trust duo is good enough as they are, thank you Ruby.
Chocolat's statement made Ruby a bit sad, so she focused her pleading eyes to the knight and the gunslinger.
-I rather let my revolvers as they are too. –With that answer from Ryan, Ruby turned to Jaune, confident that with only a sword and a shield, he may want some improvements in his armament.
He could actually use something more with his fighting style. Jaune made reaches Ryan's combat skills one of his goals, so following his partner's example may be a good way to start.
-I could use some improvement in my sword. –Jaune's answer made Ruby's eyes sparkle with joy.
-Awesome. I will get the tools ready for work. –Ruby shouts while leaving the table they were.
-Good luck Jaune, you will need. –Yang's comment made Jaune thinks that he made a big mistake.
Ruby happily made her way to the workshop, eager to help Jaune improve his weapon. It has been a while since she helped someone with their equipment and she was happy to help Jaune go through the Challenge by upgrading his weapon.
She was so eager that did not paid attention to where she was going and stumbled in someone and fell in her rear. Looking back to who she bumped, the first thing she notices that his blue shirt over the white below were all dirty, his grey pants where no better and he was wearing nothing in his legs.
Something else she notices is the scar going through his nose, his long black scarf reaching his ankle and the most striking thing about his appearance was the fact he was missing a arm.
-Sorry. –The boy said before helping Ruby to her feet.
-It is okay. –Ruby said. –I should be paying attention to where I was going.
-What's the hurry anyway? –The boy asked.
-Oh, it's nothing. It is just I was going to help a friend, that's all.
-Alright pipsqueak, just pay attention.
-Hey! Who are you calling a pipsqueak!? –Ruby asked angrily before draw her scythe. –I'll cut you.
-I'm sure you can. –The boy said, not showing the slightlys of fear in his face. –I don't have time to deal with a visitor. The dumb headmaster just…
-Hey! I'm not a visitor! I'm a student here as everyone around!
-Aren't you a bit young to be Beacon?
-The headmaster Ozpin himself made me an invitation, so jokes on you!
-What is this guy thinking?
-What's that suppose to mean?!
Instead of answer, the boy's face changed his expression from boredom to something malicious.
-Say, for him to make an invitation for you means that he considers you to be something else, right?
-You can bet on that!
-Good.
After his last statement, Ruby was shocked to receive a kick straight on her belly. Before she could hit a tree, she stuck her scythe on the floor stopping her trajectory.
-Hey! What's up with… -She did not have time to end her question seeing shurikens from different colors flying in her direction.
Spinning her scythe, she blocked the projectiles but did not expect some of them exploding from the impact. Ruby nearly lost her balance but was able to dash forward the boy.
If it's a fight he wants, it's a fight he'll have.
Bringing her scythe down, she was surprised to see the boy exploding in a smoke screen, blinding her for a moment. Ruby then felt something wrap around her ankle and give a push. She just didn't fall because she was holding her scythe. Looking down she saw that what was holding her was a black piece of cloth.
-His scarf… - Ruby muttered before use her weapon to cut the cloth. -Hearing something from behind, she quickly pointed her riffle to behind and gave some shots. None of the shots hit any target, and Ruby heard something from behind and used the blade of her scythe to block the incoming shuriken, not expecting some ice cover her back. -Not man enough to face me straight on?
-It is called being smart. –Come the voice from somewhere. –I'm keeping my distance since it seems that you not know how to deal with stealth.
Ruby didn't want to admit he was right. She was used to fight enemies head on, but never faced someone who knew how to hide right in front of her face. Even after the smoke screen died, she could not see the boy anywhere.
-W-where…? –She asked.
Her instincts kicked and she swung her scythe to behind to hit whatever just came, only to hit nothing. Something patted her shoulder and she tried to cut whoever was, only to find nothing. Something hit the back of her head so while growling, she brought her scythe to cut in half whoever dared to hit her. Ruby made the possible to keep her guard closed from every angle, waiting for his next move. Unfortunately for her, someone's finger pocked the top of her head. Instinctively, she look to above only to see a pair of soles coming to her face.
She was able to jump away, rolling to the side and pointing her riffle to the boy, only to her body be frozen solid in the floor, not being able to move her fingers and shot.
-That's was easy. –The boy commented while approaching her.
-You cheated! –Ruby hissed. –In a fair fight I would have won!
-I do not see any reason to make me play by your rules. –He stated as used his only arm to take Ruby from the floor.
-W-wait! What are you doing?
-We're just going for a walk. –The boy commented putting Ruby's frozen body above his shoulder. - Is it getting hotter or is it my impression?
The boy received a fist straight to his face, only to explode in another smoke screen. Yang, with red eyes, look at the boy who attacked his little sister.
-Put… her… down… NOW! –Yang demanded.
-Or else what? –The boy asked.
Yang roared and went after him with her fist raised only to someone stop her by wrapping his arms around her body. She was about to ask what Ryan was doing, but was interrupted by the electric eruption in front of her.
Looking down to the floor, she notices a strange symbol on the floor.
-How did you know? –Yang asked.
-I feel those things. –Ryan answered.
Blake dashed past them and went after the boy, who threw Ruby's frozen body and got from his back a katana with a black blade. Even with one arm, he was able to block the strikes from both Blake's katana and sheath. Using her semblance, she moved from his front to his back multiple times, blocking her attacks. A glyph appeared below him as Weiss got ready to frozen him in place. For her surprise, the boy shoved his blade on the floor, making a symbol appear above her glyph. The result was the ice spreading around the floor, trapping the Yang, Ryan, Blake and Weiss on the floor.
-How…? –As Weiss asked, the team CNVL and Jaune appeared in the scene.
-This is getting too much crowded. –The boy said before make some motions with his fingers, then a red mist involved his body followed by a blue one.
Seeing her friends in danger, Nora made her usual warcry and went to attack the attacker, only to a giant mist cover the entire place. A small earthquake told to both teams that the hammer missed the target.
The mist disappeared and revealed Nora looking around for the boy.
-Nora, where did he go? –Ren asked.
-I don't know.
-I'm not stupid enough to think I can handle you all at once. –Come the voice of the boy.
They all turned their attention to the window, seeing the boy with Ruby struggling in his shoulder, his scarf wrapped around her boy.
-Sir! I have you know that it is very impolite to kidnap huntress-in-training! –Ryan shouts.
-Tell to Ozpin meet me in the electric pylon on the edge of the town or else, the only thing left of her will be a huge bloodstain! –Was everything the boy said before left the academy with the young team leader.
-Ruby! –Yang shouts and went after her, breaking the wall to chase the kidnapper.
Once she was outside, her classmates stared at her with confusion from why she broke the wall. Yang ignored their stares and looked around for the boy who took her sister, but found no sign of him anywhere. She look, and look, and look, but could not find the guy who dared to kidnap her little sister. She growled and smashed her fist on the ground for anger.
-Where did he go? –Weiss asked joining Yang on the courtyard, followed by Blake, CNVL and the duo.
-How come someone carrying a struggling girl can disappear like that? –Jaune asked while looking around.
-I don't know Jaune. –Yang said standing back in her feet. –I just know that this guy just pick up the wrong girl for kidnapping. And when I put my hands on him…
-Wait there for a moment Yang. –Ryan spoke. -You heard what he said. If not be Ozpin then the red we will see will be not from her cape.
-You want to stand and do nothing then?! –She shouts at him as her eyes turned red.
-Before you try punches me to Vale, let me explain! –Ryan said while hiding behind Weiss and Blake. The girls look at him with a look that said "seriously?" while he explained. –He just said that want to talk with Ozpin.
-So what?! –Yang shouts again making Ryan squeal in fear and jump in Ren's arms.
-Ozpin is a professional huntsman and THE…! -Ren let go of him making Ryan fall on the floor. -And the headmaster of Beacon. –Ryan continued as he got up. –He is just a teenager. Whatever this guy wants will be doomed to fail if he wants to make a demand to someone like him.
-I have to agree with Ryan. –Surprisingly the one who spoke was Weiss. -What we have here is a situation involving a hostage. We cannot take any hasty actions.
-That bastard took my sister and you expect me not do anything?! –Yang shouts once again, this time on the verge of break something.
-And what do you think will happen when that boy sees you approach? –Chocolat asked. –You need to think about Ruby's safety.
-That is exactly what I am thinking!
-You are not! You are letting your anger take the better on you, and this is making you not think properly!
As if she was taking Chocolat's words, Yang seemed to calm down before spoke again.
-So what do we do?
-At the moment, let's do exactly what was demanded. He just wants to talk with Ozpin, right?
With that said, Chocolat reached her scroll to make a call for the headmaster, using a special call for any member of the staff in case of an emergency. The headmaster answered the call and the CNVL leader explained the situation.
-Indeed very troublesome. –Ozpin said. –It will take a while to reach the destination from where I currently am but I will answer his demand as fast as possible. How is Ms. Xiao Long reacting to this situation?
-Oh, she is… -Chocolat tried to answer but the older sister was nowhere to be found. –I should have seen that coming, literally.
-I take from your comment that Ms. Xiao Long ignored the boy's demand and went after Ms. Rose?
-Practically. –Jaune stated.
-Still will take a while to me return to Vale, so I want to both teams, Jaune and Ryan to try stops Ms. Xiao long from doing anything harsh. And don't tell this to anyone else. If more people get involved may make the situation more problematic.
With permission granted, both teams and the duo went to rescue.
End of the chapter.
It is already big enough so I will let the action for the next chapter.
