Weiss Reacts to Beginnings, Part 1!

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to the very first chapter of Weiss Reacts: Volume 2! Yes, we're doing this, and we are BACK! Yeah! Woo!

Firstly, to answer some questions I got back during the last chapter of volume 1, yes, there will be a Super Smash Bros chapter eventually. To confirm several rumours and stuff, we will be doing Emergence and RWBYQuest in addition to doing Enerjack's Sun Ragekong and Half-Blind Otaku's We Were Close. For now, The Games We Play and Blood Rose stay out of our grasp- mostly because I don't have time to ask their authors if I can do a Reacts of their stories yet, but stay tuned!

Well, without further ado, let's get this show on the road!

DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise Zwei would be a tamed Grimm.

All mentioned properties and characters belong to their respective franchises.

"Ugh..."

Weiss groaned, pulling herself out of bed, sore and tired, blinking at the sun streaming through the curtains of RWBY dorm. Yang and Blake's bunks were empty, and the heiress could see Ruby in the corner by the counter, making some hot chocolate and toast and humming to herself.

Weiss smiled a little at the adorable image of the reaper- her girlfriend of several months now and partner of several years- in such a quaint activity, before shaking her head and pulling herself out of bed.

"Hey, Ruby."
Ruby looked behind her. "Oh, hey, Weiss. You're up!" She grinned, before pointing over at the hot chocolate and toast. "Have some. I was making some for you in case you wanted any."
"Thanks." Weiss grabbed a mug and a piece of toast. "Where are Blake and Yang?"
"At breakfast." The reaper casually responded. "You should probably hurry up with that."
"Huh? Why?"
"Ozpin wants everyone down there by nine fifteen." The reaper clarified, pointing at the cookie-shaped clock by their bed that said 'nine ten'.

"FIVE MINUTES?!" Weiss cried in disbelief. "Dust dammit, and I thought the idiotic circumstances around me would END with that stupid Antic War!

...I'll take these down there. And why aren't you going yet?!"
Ruby shrugged. "Super speed, remember?"
"Ah. Right." The heiress sighed. "Very well."

Moments later, the world was treated to the image of a panicked Weiss Schnee running down the corridor, a piece of toast in her mouth, a mug of steaming chocolate in her hands, running across her glyphs to make herself move faster.

"Dust dammit I'm going to be late!"

The heiress sped past surprised student and staff member alike, without spilling a single crumb or drop of her breakfast, making her way down to the dining hall.

Shortly, the heiress arrived at the hall, half a minute left on the clock, as Ruby leaned by the doorframe, crossing her arms.

"Weiss! What took you so long?" She asked sincerely.

The heiress, exhausted from the effort, could only give her an icy glare, before wheezing out, "Just...open the door."

"Sorry~" Ruby pouted, before opening the door and allowing Weiss to stumble to the table team RWBY shared with team JNPR- with a conspicuously missing Blake and Nora ravenously consuming pancakes and maple syrups, and Ren staring longingly at the maple syrup bottle. Yang could be seen laughing at Ren's plight, while Pyrrha panicked trying to stop Nora from making a mess, and Jaune just sighed, exasperated.

As she did so, the heiress looked around to see the students assembled. Cardin was sitting at the table next to theirs, surrounded by the Malachite sisters- with Cardin's arm around his girlfriend Melanie- and Sky, his companion, and sharing it with team CFVY, where Velvet clutched a Weiss plushie and cooed quietly to it, and Coco, currently taken over by the Espresso personality, making passes at a very embarrassed Fox, with a straight-faced Yatsuhashi unamused by the antics of his team. Over at the table next to theirs, team MLDY, with Melody clutching a burning cereal bowl, Fionn clutching his groin after laughing at her, and Lukas and Yukari arguing as usual, shared it with team SSSN, or rather Sun and Neptune, who were playing cards. The gentlemanly dinosaur Sir Lyserg the Utahraptor sat with them, playing cards with them and drinking tea.

Finally, next to both tables, were a table shared by team SONA, with Elsa Schnee- reading a book-, Norn in her maid costume, working on some calculations for Blake and Minako, fiddling with what appeared to be a cosplay launcher, and their fourth member Ori, reading up on Arthurian legend- and four of the seven Arc sisters; Aspasia, the tiniest and strongest, Maeve, the witch, and Lucina and Euphemia, the blatant carbon copy expies, all speaking with their sisters on another table next to them.

Weiss finally slumped at the seat next to Yang and Ruby, sighing. She placed her mug lightly on the table and looked over at the empty seat.

"Where's Blake?"
Yang chuckled. "Oh, she had something to do~"
"Oh, please don't tell me it's another stupid antic..."
Ruby raised a finger to tell her, but she was interrupted as Blake fell through the ceiling, landing perfectly on the chair, wearing triangle shades and her red Team Antic cape, emblazoned with the stylized flaming rose and triangle shades logo.

"Who called?"

"I...I won't even ask, Belladonna." Weiss facepalmed. "I won't even ask."

"PANCAKES" Nora yelped happily, shoving handful after handful of the foodstuff into her mouth.

"Nora, shush." Ren cautioned her softly. "Ozpin's standing up now."

Indeed, at the head of the hall, the headmaster stood up, surrounded by Glynda and Cinder, and joined by Professors Oobleck and Port. To their right was Professor Yona Arc, Jaune's mother and the resident skimpily-dressed large-breasted red-headed sniper professor of Weaponcraft, and to their left was Professor Yuko Kanoe, ex-ghost and professor of Supernatural Studies andProfessors Ludwig Amadeus and Gretchen Faust, professors of Music and various unrelated things respectively.

Behind them stood the miniscule Beth Lupin, the ever beleaguered caretaker and janitor of Beacon, who glared at Blake as she watched the hole in the ceiling the catgirl's impact had left, and Tukson, the librarian and resident master of martial arts, viewing the hall with arms folded and breath bated.

"Maaaaan. That's a long intro." Yang whistled.

"Quiet, Yang. Quit breaking the fourth wall, Ozpin's going to set some stuff up now." Blake shushed her partner.

Ozpin looked around the hall, waiting for silence, calmly surveying the hall, coffee mug in hand.

When the hall finally fell into silence, the headmaster cleared his throat.

"Alright. Good morning, my students. Now, the reason I've called you all here today is to give you several announcements." Ozpin stated calml.

"Firstly is to do with the staff. I'd like to announce that Miss Tohru Honda, Professor Fall's temporary teaching assistant, is staying on to help with Miss Lupin's caretaking duties owing to...last week's incident proving that our staff may be a little inadequate."
Yang chuckled. "Heh. He got that right."
Weiss rolled her eyes. "You and Ren are such idiots, starting that stupid thing over such a tiny little problem..."
Blake laughed. "But that WAS an epic last battle, wasn't it? I mean-"

"Secondly," Ozpin continued, clearing his throat again. "I would like to announce that Mister Roman Torchwick is returning from his vacation, not to resume his post as Professor Fall's teaching assistant, but as the new professor of Huntsmanship and Finance, owing to Professor Ebenezer retiring last week to spend time with his...family." The headmaster hesitated. "With that, I hope, Professor Fall will have no excuse to delegate her workload to other staff members."

Cinder pouted. "I have other things to do, Ozpin! Now where will I find the time to enjoy my burritos?! Where will I find the time to enjoy my smut?!"

She collapsed to the floor dramatically, kneeling and looking to the sky. "WHERE WILL I FIND TIME TO COMMIT ANTICS?!"

Tohru and Roman, however, could only share a smile, no longer having to deal with Cinder's ridiculously large workload. They had a miniature toast of glasses, to celebrate their new posts.

Beth, however, could only shake her head at the former, sighing. "Poor souls..."

Meanwhile, among the students, many stood up and clapped; Roman was a popular man for his sarcastic demeanour, his choice of fashion and his often sound business advice, and Tohru was well-liked for being personable and adorable, although much less well-liked than the likes of Roman, clearly.

"Okay, so Tohru's staying and Roman's back!" Yang cheered. "That's awesome!"

"At least we get two more sane people on staff." Weiss muttered. "Because having the older version of Yang on it is enough to make it completely insane..."

Blake rolled her eyes. "And what's Cinder whining about? I'm pretty sure she only had to mark three tests. She didn't need two teaching assistants to do it for her."

"Next is the annual Incubator Patrol. As all of you are aware, ever since the year that many of our staff attended- among them Professors Goodwitch, Fall, Arc, Kanoe and Torchwick- Beacon, we have been plagued by visits by a white cat-like creature referred to as an Incubator, often asking to fulfil the wishes of those approached. If you are approached, do not accept his offer, as I am sure Professor Goodwitch has instilled into those who look into it..." Ozpin clarified.

Yang rolled her eyes. "He means that Kyubey's back."
"Kyubey?" Jaune tilted his head. "What, like that guy from Puella Magi? That cat guy?"

"Every year, he tries to feed on poor innocent little freshies." Blake grumbled. "And every year, we stop him. Granted, not like anyone here WANTS magic powers, what with everyone here having Semblances and stuff..."

"If you would like to sign up for the Incubator Patrol, please consult with Blake Belladonna after breakfast and she will provide you with appropriate equipment to, ahem, subdue the Incubator."

Blake smirked. "It's Kyubey hunting duty tonight, kids."

"He SERIOUSLY comes here looking for contractors?" Jaune looked at her in disbelief.

"Yep. I'm in charge of the guys who're meant to stop him. It's so fun, too, just riding around the school like real men!" Blake pumped her fist triumphantly.

Yang grinned at her. "Come on, you're letting me on this, right?"
"Oh, definitely. We're breaking out the mechs this year, too. Time to see what that little bastard cat thing thinks of a Giga Drill Break to the face." The catgirl declared.

Weiss facepalmed. "Oh, goody. Wreck the school again so soon after you wrecked it just last week!"

"It's for a good cause!" Yang retorted.

"Yeah, the cause of stomping a smug little bastard back into the ground where he belongs." Blake chuckled.

"Finally, I would like to announce a camping trip in the upcoming weeks, headed by none other than our Professor Fall." The headmaster announced proudly. "Further detail will be provided later. For now, enjoy your meal, and good day!"

After breakfast...

Pyrrha was sitting down by herself, sighing. She watched Jaune wander off to grab himself a snack from the vending machine wistfully.

"If only he'd notice me...I mean...I've done everything I can." Pyrrha complained. "I've kidnapped him, made him food, danced with him, and even challenged his date to a duel! How hard can it be to get someone to notice you?!"
"Lonely, huh?" Velvet sat next to her, with Vivi, the resident living Weiss plushie, waving at her.

"Pipipi!"
"...yeah," The spearmaiden sighed. "I suppose." Moving aside, she let the bunnygirl sit next to her.

"You know, I feel the same about Weiss. She never notices me!"
"I live in the same dorm as Jaune and yet he notices Weiss, Ruby, and Minako over me." Pyrrha pouted. "What about me? I'm cute! I'm available!"
"I know, I'm the ensemble darkhorse AND an adorable Aussie-accented yandere bunny for Oum's sake! AND I've got a cute sidekick!" Velvet added.

"Pipipipipi." Vivi commented sarcastically.

"Okay, fine, little partner."
"Pipipi."
"Assistant?"
"Piiii?"
"...equal in antics." Velvet sighed, rolling her eyes.

Vivi crossed her arms triumphantly. "Pi."

Pyrrha sighed. "I just wish I could...you know, do something about that..."
Velvet rubbed her chin, thinking. "You know, the Kyubey Patrol's going out tonight. That means most of the Antic Order, which includes that accursed Yang and Blake'll be going hunting for Kyubey. Nora will probably come, as will Ren."
Pyrrha looked at her, her eyes widening in realisation. "Which means, as Weiss and Jaune never do Kyubey Patrol duty..."

The two stalkers shared a look.

"...you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"We've got to plan something."

"Pipipipipi." Vivi sighed, licking a vanilla sorbet with her small plushie tongue.

"What do you mean it'll go wrong as usual?"
"Pipipipi. Pipi pipipipi, pipipipi pipipi pi pii piiiiii pippipipi." Vivi gesticulated, using large stick puppets of Velvet and Weiss and gesturing the former to the latter.

"I don't always fail!" Velvet protested.

Vivi just gave her an incredulous look.

"...okay, maybe fifty percent. But trust me..." The bunnygirl smirked at Pyrrha, who smiled.

"Tonight...we get our beloved. Meet me by Professor Ebenezer's old classroom."

Pyrrha rubbed her hands, giggling.

'Yes! Tonight...finally...m-my Jaune-kun will notice me!'

Meanwhile, in RWBY dorm...

Ruby examined two, small, round packages. One package was addressed to her and Yang, the other to Blake.

Weiss walked in, a pack of vanilla sorbet in her hands. She looked over at Ruby.

"Hm? What are those?"
"These arrived for us in the mail." The reaper explained. "None for you, but-"
"Ooooooh!" Yang squeed. "I know where one of them's from! That's from dad!"

"Da-oh. Don't tell me..." Ruby's eyes lit up with glee.

"What?" Weiss scratched her head.

"Arf!" A happy yelp emanated from the package, and the heiress just facepalmed.

"Oh, don't tell me..."

"Our dad sent us our dog by mail!" Ruby giggled, opening up the package, as a cylindrical bundle of fur slipped out, before popping out to reveal a tiny, happy-looking corgi.

Yang introduced Weiss to their dog. "Weiss, meet Zwei. Zwei, meet Weiss!"

"Arf!" Zwei hung his tongue out playfully at Weiss, who crossed her arms.

"H-hmph! T-that scruffy little thing...h-he isn't adorable. S-stupid idiots. G-get it out of my sight!"
"Arf arf!" Zwei nuzzled Weiss' leg, being already aware within seconds that Weiss was in fact the biggest tsundere of all time and secretly already adored him.

Weiss had to do her best not to pick up the dog and hug it, such was her love of little adorable puppies- of course, secondary to her love of sharks.

Blake chuckled. "Aww...he's so cute."

"Wait, aren't you, like, a cat Faunus?" Yang paused. "You're not scared?"
"Nah. I'm not my unmanly canon self." Blake scoffed. "I'm too badass to be scared by that. He's cute! Aaaaand he's named after, what, Ein from Cowboy Bebop?"
"Dad's a big otaku." Ruby explained, nodding. "He got us both into anime."
"Well, some of it was mom, but she doesn't like the sad ones. They always make her cry." Yang giggled.

Blake chuckled deeply. "Oh. You guys...you have an adorable family. And an adorable pet.

I have one better."

Weiss looked over at her. "What could that possibly be?"

The catgirl smirked, grabbing her package and opening it.

"I present to you...the Belladonna family dog! Oh Ceeeerberuuuuus!"

Suddenly, a very large Beowolf leapt out of her package, snarling at everyone. Weiss, Yang and Ruby jumped in surprise.

"W-what?!"
"Is that a Grimm?!"

"Oh, for DUST'S sake, BLAKE!"

Zwei just tilted his head at it, hanging his tongue out.

Blake pouted. "...Cerberus doesn't bite. He's tame!"
"...you...tamed...a Grimm." Weiss stared at her. "...who are you, Port or something?"
"Oh come on!" The catgirl complained. "He's not bad! Look!"

She pointed over at her Beowolf, who was rolling over, hanging its black tongue out and barking in a friendly manner at Zwei, who ran around it, barking happily.

Weiss just looked dumbfounded. "You...actually KEEP a Beowolf..."
"Well, dad tamed it. With his bare hands. And a lot of meat." Blake explained. "I asked for him, anyway.

I'm taking him Kyubey hunting!"

Weiss facepalmed. "Oh, can this get ANY stupider?!"

Little did she know, it was going to get stupider.

END

A/N: So yes, Zwei is in Weiss Reacts now. Adam Taurus and James Ironwood will appear at some point, so don't think I've forgotten about them yet.
