"Speech"
'Thoughts or Weapon and special technique names'
Chapter 4: Proper IntroductionsIt had been a day since the brutal smack down of team JNPR and most members of teams RWBY and CRDL. And at this moment one could find all of them currently lying fast asleep in Beacon's student infirmary. And in the room with them sat the school doctor Tsunade Senju casually sipping a glass of wine, at ten o'clock in the morning.
After she had made each member of team LVNR pay a portion of the cost to provide medicine for the first years, she let the senior team go on his or her merry way to class. Only for them to quickly serve a detention and extra assignments from one very upset Glynda Goodwitch. This of course brought a small laugh out of the busty blonde seeing her godson droop at the mere thought of detention. But she really couldn't say that he didn't deserve it.
She then goes back to working on a report for Ozpin when she hears a groan come from one of the beds behind her, turning she sees the young leader of team RWBY waking up.
"Uh, what happened? Where am I? Ouch, my head hurts. And my chest." She says in a childish pout causing the doctor to smile.
"Well it's good to see that you're awake miss Rose. How are you feeling?" She says getting Ruby's attention. Said girl then turned to her and tilted her head in confusion at seeing an unfamiliar face. "Um I'm just a little sore. And….um really hungry." She says right before her stomach spoke up causing the teen to blush a bit.
Tsunade on her part only laughs a bit, "Oh well if that's the extent of your injuries then I'd say you're good to head back to your regular class schedule. Oh and by the way miss Schnee came by earlier check you and the rest of your team. Be sure to talk to her as she has all your make up work." This causes Ruby to freeze before she looked over to the doctor.
"What?" She asks in weak voice.
Tsunade raises an eyebrow, before chuckling, "Come on, you didn't think they would simply ignore the fact that you've missed your first day of school. Trust me you'll want to knock out that make up work, fast. It can pile up like you wouldn't believe." Tsunade then turns her head to glare at the neatly stacked pile on her own desk. 'I should know honestly.'
Ruby looks around to the sleeping forms ranging from Jaune, to her sister Yang, and many more fellow first years quietly sleeping and letting the medicine work its wonders. Looking at the back of the doctor in the room Ruby watches as she walks over with a small tray of food in her hands.
"Well you'd better eat that way you can gain some of your strength back. Beacon isn't going to take it easy on you, even if you and the rest were on medical absence." Tsunade says with a bit of a smile handing her the food, which consisted of eggs, sausage, toast on the side, and some milk to wash it all down.
Ruby not even caring that there were no sweets digs in, only to stop when she realized it was hospital food and slowly took a big gulp before shivering at the taste.
The blonde doctor looks to her and laughs a bit, "Yeah I know it doesn't taste that good, but it's the best you're going to get until I fully clear you and you can make your way to the cafeteria. Now then lets run a few tests to see if you're good to go." She says grabbing her scroll.
After about ten minutes of testing the blonde signs her off and gives her back her things, which Ruby couldn't help but shout for joy when she got out of the hospital gown.
Leaving as quickly as she could Ruby after putting her signature cloak back on and making sure Crescent Rose was still in perfect condition she makes her way to the mess hall. When she arrives she can see that there were only a few people scattered around the room and most of them were either just sitting with their team, or enjoying the quite of a nearly empty room. Either way Ruby could also see that it was somewhat later in the morning almost closer to noon and that meant she'd missed breakfast, and that meant only one thing to the girl.
'If it's not breakfast then cookies are on the menu!' She shouts with excitement in her head before vanishing in a burst of speed, only to appear in front of the chef working the counter with a plate in her hands and a beaming smile.
Deciding to humor her the employee of Beacon looks at her, "Yes what can I get you? You do know that breakfast was over almost threes hours ago right?" He asks the red-clad girl.
Ruby nods her head, "I know but, you see there was this test me and my team had to do after the initiation test like a second test for our tutor team to see how good we all were…and well the senior team that was conducting the test really didn't hold back when they fought us and they might've, sort of, maybe, put me in the infirmary for a day or two. And well hospital food is pretty bad…so I was hoping that I could five dozen cookies, please?"
This makes the chef's eyes go wide, "What was that last part?"
Ruby just nervously looked away, "Um…could I have five dozen chocolate chips cookies, please? And is there any milk left I could use a lot of that as well?"
Again the man just looked back at her, "Um, ok I'll get right on that. Are you totally sure you want five dozen?"
This makes her eyes twinkle a bit, "Can you make more?" She gets a nod.
"Then I would like six dozen cookies!
…
…
…
…Please." She says quietly at the end causing the man to slowly nod his head as he made his way back into the kitchen to make the cookies she ordered.
With the chef gone Ruby takes a moment to look at her scroll and see if Weiss had found out that she was cleared from the infirmary.
"There you are!" Apparently she had.
"H-Hey Weiss." Ruby says waving at the white clad girl as she walked over to her with a stack of books and papers in her hands, and with a facial expression of relive and annoyance rolled into one. She then slams the books onto the table and waves the other girl over to her. "You've got some catching up to do." Weiss says handing the girl a stack of books.
Ruby only looks back and forth from the books to her partner with wide teary eyes as one word, one very sad word left her mouth. "Homework?" She asks with watery eyes towards her partner.
Weiss a bit taken back by the girl just sighs, "It's not all homework, most of it is just the textbooks they handed out in class…most." She says seeing Ruby perk a bit after hearing that not all of the papers and books in front of her were homework.
Then before the Weiss could even begin to try and help her team leader catch up a wonderful smell filled the air. Weiss turned to see a huge platter of triple stacked chocolate chips cookies being brought out towards her table.
She could only stare wide-eyed when Ruby got up and quickly grabbed the tray of sweets and casually sit down next to her like there wasn't a two foot high stack of cookies next her as she casually ate them.
"You know what those sweets are going to do to you right?" Weiss asks somewhat mortified by the speed in which Ruby devoured the treats. Ruby stops mid bite and looks to her partner with her face covered in crumbs. She then swallows the food that was in her mouth and wipes her mouth with her sleeve.
"Why yes I do know what they'll do to me. They'll fill me with joy and happiness and hopefully get me through this day without too much trouble." She says confidently before once again stuffing her face with food, ignoring Weiss' stern look in favor of her favorite food.
Weiss seeing that she'll have to deal with it just sighs and opens her own book to try and catch Ruby up to speed on what happened in Grimm studies with Port. Besides his story telling that is.
Beacon InfirmaryAt this moment right now a few more of the beaten first years started to wake up in their beds causing Tsunade to sigh for what felt like the tenth time today going over her reports.
She looked over to find two members of team JNPR, the blonde brawler of team RWBY and two members of CRDL slowly wake up and groan at the amount of light slipping through the window onto them. "Well now that you bunch are up might as well get some tests out of the way." She says casually grabbing some of her tools.
Nora and Pyrrha both were up and running in less than half an hour after Tsunade gave them a check up, they were fully geared and ready to try and go to class, not that Nora wanted to leave Ren behind though, so it looked like they were staying for a while until the other members woke up.
Sky and Russel both simply thanked Tsunade and showed themselves out since they did not really want to just sit and wait for Cardin to wake up. Yang was in the same boat as them as even though her partner was still there she wanted to go check on Ruby before she did anything else, say what you will about the girl, but she put her little sister first.
It then was just Nora, Pyrrha, Tsunade, and the other unconscious patients in the room with them as it became quite for a time.
Seeing as the quite was getting awkward Pyrrha spoke to the doctor, "So, what's your name ma'am?" She asks looking over to the day drinking blonde that was pouring herself another glass of wine.
"My name is Dr. Tsunade Senju head of Beacon's infirmary and one of the teachers here." Pyrrha raises an eyebrow; "Oh really, does that mean we might see each other again soon?"
This makes Tsunade shake her head, "No I don't teach first years. I'm the advanced anatomy and physiology teacher, and the head expert on toxicology here at the school. I'm strictly a third and forth year only teacher, besides my class wouldn't really suite a fighter of your style."
This causes Pyrrha to tilt her head in confusion, "My style?" Tsunade turns in her chair to look at the redhead, "Don't take it personal it's just that your style is already established as a fast paced mid to close range style of fighting. Now when I tell you that a handful of people have taken my class. I mean like out of every one hundred graduates I'll have one person I personally teach, and maybe four to five other students that make it into my class. See the thing is I teach combat medics to use medicine and poisons on the field against Grimm, or Oum forbid rouge hunters. But what that means to the actual combat is less reliance on weapons and sometimes-even aura, and the trade off is usually the target dies from anything that breaks the skin even a light scratch, in seconds. But that requires an absurd amount of knowledge. See the most effective poisons against Grimm cannot be turned into any kind of mist otherwise the Four Kingdoms would've completely irradiated the Grimm entirely. Instead it has to be hand crafted following a very strict process which takes hours of tiny measurements and careful procedure other wise the poison won't do a damn thing accept kill you or your teammates with toxic fumes. But on the bright side those fumes often get used against other things."
Pyrrha just sat there and looked at the doctor and slowly nodded not really wanting to hear anything along those lines, especially since she didn't ask to hear that. "So, when do you think they'll wake up?" She asks nodding her head over to Blake, Ren, and Jaune sleeping peacefully in their own beds.
Tsunade then sighs and looks to the clock hanging on the wall, "I'm not entirely sure the treatment I gave you all was guaranteed to work on healing most of the damage my godson and his team did to you, but even then that's only to a certain extent you'll just have to wait and let time take care of the rest. So in other words no heavy combat training for about a month, but then again knowing Naruto he's already got some kind of ridiculous plan or training schedule in store for you lot."
Pyrrha widens her eyes at hearing a name in there especially since she casually mention her godson was on team LVNR, "Wait which one is your godson Dr?" Tsunade looks over to her desk and grabs a small-framed picture of her holding a twelve-year-old Naruto in her arms. He had a huge frown on his face since she was holding him off the ground and was basically using him as a boob rest as she gave the photographer a cheeky smile to embarrass him even more.
"Well I happen to be in charge of the trouble making blonde that fought Ren, Blake, and Russel. Naruto's never been one to take it easy on anyone he fights. But hey it could've been much worse for those three, there's a good reason he made S-rank so young."
Pyrrha widens her eyes, "S-rank? We're being trained and tutored by a team of S-rank hunters in training?" She asks nervously with a hidden layer of excitement.
Tsunade nods, "Yep you should've seen the day he told me he got the rank. I thought he'd never shut up about it either. But enough about that you two need to go collect the work you missed and pick up your textbooks for the semester." She says pushing them out the door.
Pyrrha and Nora just look to one another before they begin to walk off down the hall trying to find out where they should go while they wait for their teammates to get back on their feet. Pyrrha at this point was still somewhat shaken up a bit when she remembered the fights the three teams went through.
They looked promising some of the best and brightest from the lower level training academies, and then they got their asses kicked by the best and brightest of Beacon. And oh boy was it an eye opener to the girl.
Nora and Yang who she thought were some of the most physically powerful fighters in their class maybe even the school when she saw the kind of feats they were able to do, got absolutely destroyed by the one huntsmen on the senior team with the black armor. And then there was her own fight with Ruby and Sky, that didn't exactly end well for her and the other two.
Sure she had a powerful semblance, but when you couldn't dodge an opponent's attack, and that attack felt like it was bomb going off on your skin, that tends to end fights pretty quick.
But she could think later when Nora and her arrived at their room they were surprised to find Ruby, Yang, and Weiss in there studying, "Hey guys we brought you the homework you missed!" Ruby shouts points to the stack of textbooks and loose papers on top of their beds.
Pyrrha not really having the heart to ask them to leave sits down and the two female members of team JNPR try to catch up with the members of team Ruby.
InfirmaryAfter a few hours the school day had ended and the students were aloud to wonder about the campus and do as they pleased, but for one student she knew exactly where she had to be right now. Luciela Belladonna was currently sitting next to her sister's bed waiting for the younger faunus to wake up happily eating a small tuna sandwich she picked up on her way there while still wearing her academy uniform.
Now one would wonder if she was mad or not at her boyfriend and teammate for putting her little sister in this position, and for a while she was, which earned Naruto and earful about trying to control his strength when fighting her or the other first years and a slap to the head. But she knew that Blake had been in worse situations and will probably get into even more situations like this later in life after this school….
…hell maybe while she's still here something worse could happen.
Anyway, the reason as to why she was in here with her cat-like features proudly on display was because Blake was at this point the last one to leave the infirmary, or rather the only who had yet to wake up at that point. So deciding that her sister didn't need to miss three days instead of two Luciela rips off a small section of her sandwich and holds it under Blake's nose and waited.
…
…
…
…
Suddenly her eyes shot open and stared at the food directly in front of her face, her eyes then go to the hand holding the food, then the smiling grin of the person holding it. "Oh it's you." She said in a bit of a deadpan tone before her eyes darted around the room.
"Hey don't worry sis, no one's going to see you, relax. Anyway how're you feeling? I know Naruto likes to be pretty rough at times, but is there anything still hurting?" Luciela asks her sister with concern in her voice.
But the thing Blake was more concerned with was the obvious double meaning in her last sentence. "No, I'm fine just sore really, but from the way you talk I'm guessing you and him are really close, right?" She asks with a raise of her brow trying to ask the obvious question with out actually saying it out loud.
Luciela not even trying to mask it in any way just smirks, "Like you wouldn't believe." The older faunus says with a small shiver and a sigh of contempt.
Which in turn got her a look from Blake that was a mix of shock and mild disgust.
"But enough about my sex life, I'm sure Tsunade is just wanting you to get out so she can finally mark you off as cleared and get rid of at least some of the paperwork."
At hearing the new name Blake turns to see an older looking blonde working on her scroll sorting what looked like medical files, "What…oh yeah you're free to go your sister made sure of that the moment she got here I ran the test with her consent."
Blake only nodding her head gets up to go collect her things, reties her bow, and walks out of the room with her sister. She then looks to see her sister smirking, "Soooo what's your team like?" Luciela asks with excitement in her voice.
Blake just smirks, "Well our team leader is just a sugar rush in human form, Yang, my partner is loud, but caring for the team and Weiss….has her moments."
"Oh come on it can't be that bad." Luciela reassures her sister as they approach the dorm team RWBY was supposed to be in.
"There is no way this is going to work." They hear from the other side of the door. Immediately recognizing the voice as Weiss Blake opens the door to see Ruby struggling with some ropes trying to tie one of the beds to the ceiling and suspend it in mid air, while Yang was holding the bed up for her sister, and Weiss was unpacking her own things.
When the others saw Blake they stopped what they were doing and looked to her, "Hey Blake glad to see you're ok, we tried to go back in there, but Dr. Senju said visiting wasn't aloud for some reason. So are you feeling any better?" Ruby asks still sitting on the bed her sister was holding up.
Blake casually nods her head, "Yeah I'm fine, just no heavy training for a while." hearing this Yang groaned, "Yeah I'm in the same boat as you right now, wait actually I think we all are at this point. Damn that senior team wasn't pulling any punches." Yang wrinkling her nose at the memory of the robotic male she fought.
"Well to be honest Raiden's not the best at controlling his strength, he's always the one to end his fights ASAP. Wait now that I think about we're all a bit bad at holding back." This makes everyone stare at the somehow forgotten member of team LVNR that stood behind Blake. "Anyway seeing as you're all good to go meet me and my team after school tomorrow in the cafeteria. I think it's time you get to know exactly who you're going to be training with for the next year of your life. Sleep tight." She says before walking off down the hall.
It was quite for a moment before Ruby finished with the last rope, "Done! Isn't this great! Oh sorry about this Blake we thought we should go ahead and make these super amazing bunk beds so you'd have more room when you got here. Oh and you're stuff is right over there." Ruby says happily with her standard bubbly personality.
Blake looks over to her suitcase and goes over, 'Well might as well get started unpacking.' she thought picking up her luggage.
Only for it to break open and spill her clothes all over the floor, "Here I'll help," Yang says reaching down to pick up some of the brunet's clothes. But all the sudden stops when her hand feels something beneath one of Blake's shirts.
Lifting it up with Blake not noticing Yang looked at the small orange covered book with a spark in her eye and teasing smirk on her lips. And that smirk only grew when she saw Blake feeling around for something most likely said book.
"Looking for this?" She asks louder than she should have. Blake felt her heart stop as she looked up to see Yang holding her Icha Icha book. The blush on her face told Yang all she needed to know.
Weiss and Ruby on the other hand had no idea what had Blake blushing. "Blake what's wrong, did you loose something?" Ruby asks innocently, while Blake and Yang were having a bit of a stare down.
"No she didn't loose anything Ruby, just don't worry about it." Yang says smirking at how a small bead of sweat could be seen on the corner of Blake's hairline.
She then held out the book for her partner, and Blake slowly reached out to grab it, and when both parties had their hand on the book it became apparent that Yang now had dirt on Blake. Eventually the blonde of the group let go and Blake sighed in relief.
Only for her blush to return when out of the corner of her eye she saw Ruby pick up another addition that she'd completely forgot about since she was glaring at Yang.
Yang felt the sudden urge to want to be far, far away from the room. Turning she sees Ruby looking curiously at another orange colored book in her hands, "Oh what's this one of those books you like Blake?" Ruby asks squinting trying to read the fine print on the cover.
Yang's eyes go wide and she was currently having a metal battle within herself whether to go over and take the book from her, or get a good laugh out of the whole situation. And at this point she was leaning towards the latter.
Blake quickly shook her head, "No a-and I don't think you'd like that book Ruby it can be kind of boring at times." She says hoping that would be enough to hand it over.
It wasn't.
"It can't be that boring, on the back it says it's about a hunter and a princess. That sounds like something I'd like." Blake then watched in horror as Ruby opened it up to a random page, read a few lines, her eyes went wide, a blush redder than the tips of her hair appeared on her face, and a small bit of blood began to drip out of her nose.
"Now that's a katana." She says lowly with a sly grin on her face.
"RUBY!" Yang yells at her sister in shock, making her drop the book and look at her sister embarrassed. She then walked back her own things with a blush still on her face and Yang's eyes still widened in shock.
Blake then quickly snatched up the book before Weiss or Yang could even try to get their hands on it, and quickly hid put it back in her bag. But this didn't stop the older sister from looking at her with a frown, or the heiress from looking absolutely confused as to what is in the book.
But deciding to move on from there the team got to work trying to either finish all the make up work, or prepare for another meeting with team LVNR, which hopefully wouldn't end in injury.
The Next Morning 07:45 (7:45 a.m.)
Vespa awoke in her bed ready to get through the day and properly meet the teams she was to tutor. Sure she somewhat met them, but knocking two of them out cold and crushing another till he passed out with her semblance didn't really stand out to her as an acceptable first impression. And if she were being honest it would be nice to catch up with Pyrrha for a bit, since it has been three years.
She was quite fond of the redhead. Looking over she can see the bed of her partner was empty, strange Luciela was never one to wake up early. But if she wasn't already up that meant of two things either she fell asleep on the couch, or she was currently in bed with a certain fox faunus.
So deciding to just ignore the empty bed on the other side of the room Vespa gets up and goes through her morning routine of a shower, brushing her teeth, tying her hair into the long braided ponytail that she usually wore, and finally dressing herself in her academy uniform, with her weapons hidden in her sleeves.
When she walks out she sees Raiden tightening some screws on his left arm and using a bit of electricity to test his nerves and reflexes if the occasional shock and twitch of a finger was anything to go by. "Morning Jack." She says to him as she grabs a small carton of milk from the fridge.
"Morning Vespa. Naruto and Luciela are already awake if you're wondering by the way." Raiden says back without even looking up from his calibrations. Vespa nodding towards him walks around to the coffee maker and starts to make a cup for herself. "Want a cup?" She asks only to get a shake of the head from Raiden
"Alright then more for me." And after she had made herself the drink of the gods Vespa sits down opposite of Raiden and just looks on as he works on his prosthetic arm. "I never really asked before, but does it hurt when you take damage in that arm? I know that's kind of a sore subject for you but can you really feel like with your real arm? You don't have to answer like I said just my stupid curiosity kicking in again." She says with a nervous smile.
Raiden looks to her then back to his arm then back to her, "Not really, it's somewhat like a dull ache in my shoulder if this arm gets hurt. Even with all this metal, circuitry, and dust it still doesn't feel completely real. But I guess that's a good thing when you think about it. If the time came down to either loosing this arm again or my life it definitely makes the choice easier knowing it's not permanent. It's not like building another could be that hard." He says lowly towards the end of his thought making Vespa wince at the thought of a particular day.
Thankfully though any sort of depressing or somber mood that had just been established had been ruined when Naruto teleported onto the couch, "Hey guys, I've been thinking we never really introduced ourselves to those freshmen we met. Don't you think its time they knew exactly as to who they're dealing with?" Naruto asks twirling a kunai in his hand.
Seeing it was a way to get out of the somewhat uncomfortable situation she put herself in Vespa jumps at the chance, "Well maybe after the school day is over maybe we could have Goodwitch call them to the court yard or the training fields?" Vespa suggests making the faunus nod his head. "Yeah that'll do as long as we get them out there Luciela was actually the one that wanted to meet them. I just hope this goes smoothly, you know how people like to hold grudges." He says chuckling a bit.
Vespa looks to him with a small smile and goes back to brewing her coffee.
"Speaking of which where is our fearless leader this fine morning I haven't seen her since last night?" Naruto asks Vespa offhandedly while pulling out another four kunai knives and juggling them.
Vespa looks to him in confusion, not at all caring that he was casually throwing knives around, "I thought she was with you? Jack said that you two were up before he was, did she leave before you?" She asks him.
Naruto dawns a look of concentration before nodding his head, "Yeah I got up and she was already gone, I just got back from my morning workout so I didn't see her at the weight room, the training field, or around the school perimeter."
Raiden laughing at his partner just shakes his head, "Yeah because she would obviously be training till she couldn't walk this early in the morning." He laughs a bit more as his sarcastic tone earns him a small glare from the knife wielding faunus.
Just then all three of their scrolls got an indication that someone had sent them a message.
"Well, well, well speak of the devil and she appears." Naruto says reading what his team leader had sent all of them.
"So she took the initiative of making a meeting, looks like she read our minds last night." Vespa says taking a sip of her coffee.
"I guess we get another chance at a first impression, lucky us." Naruto says before putting his knives away and walking into his bathroom.
"Hopefully they still aren't pissed at us." Raiden says before putting away his tools and going for the door.
Later that day
Pyrrha was making her way to her last class of the day, which unfortunately was combat training and her whole team couldn't do heavy training for a few weeks, but something told her that her old tutor would find a way around that. At just thinking that name brought a grin on her face that was actually why she was looking forward to the school day ending.
True she had a generous amount of fear for the blue-clad student, but they were friends first and foremost…when Pyrrha wasn't fighting for her life.
She was actually looking forward to meeting the other members of her team, they seem like quite the characters to the Spartan themed teen.
When she got there she saw the ever peppy Nora and the monotone Ren wave over to her, Jaune however had yet to show up.
"So I'm guessing you two got the message as well?" She asks sitting down next to Ren who was looking over some of the other incoming freshman with a calculating stare.
"Yeah team LVRN sent it out to teams RWBY and CRDL as well. I'm still wondering as to what they're going to tell us?" He says with Nora nodding along with him, in her own cartoon-like manner.
"Hey guys!"
Hearing a familiar voice the three members of JNPR turn to see RWBY walking towards them along with Jaune. Sitting next to his partner Jaune looks strangely at Pyrrha. "Hey Pyrrha, I've got a question, when we first met our "tutors" you seemed to know the one in blue. You know the one that….crushed me." He says shivering at the thought.
Pyrrha only winces a bit and scratches her head at that, "Yeah I actually do know her. She's tutored me before. It was during my first year at Sanctum, her name is Vespa no Londo and she's, well hard to explain. She and I became friends before she came here. She's honestly was and apparently still is not the best at being gentle, see these?" She says pointing multiple groups of scars along the sides of her arms.
"That's from her." She says letting them know that they were in for more than one beating before the year was over.
"Great we're going to get killed by another Beacon team, well actually there are worse ways to go." Yang says before Goodwitch appears on the stage in the center of the auditorium.
"Wait she trained you!? Does that mean, she's the one that turned you into 'The Invincible Girl?'" Weiss asks in a bit of both panic and shock.
Pyrrha looks to her and silently nods.
This sends Weiss' mind into a spiral of thoughts, 'If she did that for Pyrrha, what is a whole team going to do for us?' She thinks looking over JNPR and her own team.
'Then again if training with them is anything like our first meeting then, I think I'd be better asking Winter for advice. At least she didn't poison me, or nearly kill other students.'
With Team LVNR
Meanwhile on a balcony overlooking a huge open field stood Vespa, who had just sneezed, 'Someone is talking about me? I wonder who?' She thinks before a flash of golden light appears on her right.
Looking over she sees a grinning Naruto holding what looked like a detonator. "What did you do?" She asks simply knowing something very bad was about to happen.
Naruto for his part held in his heart in exaggeration, "Oh! You wound me Vespa, thinking I've done something that could possibly harm and or humiliate someone we know." He says all with a grin from ear to ear. Getting a glare from his teammate.
…
…
…
She continues to stare at him with a deadpan look on her face.
…
…
…
"Yet."
She continues to glare.
"Want to watch?"
She still glares.
"It's a prank on someone we know hates us." He says in a singsong voice..
Her glare intensifies.
"Jack and Lu-chan are already waiting."
She sighs in defeat, "Why not." She says putting a hand on his shoulder. He only grins and teleports them into the hallway just outside of the combat auditorium where both Raiden and Luciela were already waiting for them.
"This had better be good Naruto, I missed my class with Peach for this." Luciela asks in mildly threatening voice towards her boyfriend.
"Oh guarantee you'll like this Lu-chan. Now then! I have gather you three here today to witness an event that will be remembered for the rest of our lives. An event that will have students of Beacon talking about it for years to come, and event that will make us even greater legends than we already are." He says dramatically to them.
No one says a thing all of them just stare at him, Vespa deadpan, Raiden smirking already somewhat knowing where this is going, and Luciela nervous as to what he actually had planed.
"Think if you will, Jack I know that's hard for you but do try." He says jokingly only getting the bird from his cyborg friend.
"Think about who has given us the most shit, the one who has given us more detention, extra homework and papers out of the entire staff at this school combined. I'm sure you already know don't you?" The three other seniors were now at this all nervously sweating knowing exactly whom the blonde was talking about.
"I am of course talking about one Glynda Goodwitch. Now then if you'll look inside them class I'm sure you'll enjoy the show." He says before running from the three of them.
"Stop him!" Luciela says in panic as she, Vespa, and Raiden all take off into the class to grab him.
Of course they didn't take into account that Glynda was already teaching the class, nor did they really care.
And when a full team of seniors burst in through the room into a room full of fresh off the boat freshman, it was guaranteed to turn some heads.
But they didn't expect weapons to be drawn.
Taking out Colas de Gato Luciela leapt at the prankster of their team first and split her sword down the middle and began to try and destroy the detonator in Naruto's hand.
"Damn it Naruto don't you dare!" She shouts before Naruto dawned a toothy grin and unleashed Sōran catching her third strike after he avoided her first slash and parried her second.
But he then teleports away when out a thick cloud of purple and black smoke appears Vespa holding both Scarlet and Midnight Tracers going in for his legs. She clicks her teeth at seeing him disappear.
"Come on guys it won't that bad!" Naruto shouts at them from the rafters, however that was a terrible idea to give away hi position as Raiden picks up a teammate in each arm and throws both girls at the blonde.
"We are not taking the fall with you this time Naruto! Last time almost gave us suspension and we had to pay for that Bullhead!" Raiden says before drawing Murasama and jumping up there himself to help.
Trying to talk his way out of it Naruto keeps talking.
"Come on guys it wasn't that bad."
"YES IT WAS!" They yell at him simultaneously.
"It wasn't all bad, right? Hey you all remember that friend we made while we were down by the docks though right, remember Steve?"
"FUCK STEVE!" They shout back at him.
Naruto at this was really struggling to dodge the constantly shifting forms of Luciela and her razor tipped whips/short swords/claymore the hit and run tactics of Vespa, and the relentless assault that Raiden was throwing at him. Taking one especially brutal shot to the gut courtesy of Raiden he is staggered, and finds Luciela's whips around his torso.
"Oh shIIIIITTTTT!" He yells as the other faunus of the team sends him screaming off the rafters and back first onto the stage.
But still not even having enough time to relax for a second Naruto leaps to his feet and Raiden makes a dent in the floor with a drop kick while Luciela and Vespa once again go for his legs.
Teleporting once again Vespa clicks her tongue and shifts her swords into handguns and begins to fire rapidly at Naruto aiming for the detonator in his hand.
Naruto seeing where she was aiming begins to twirl Sōran around almost completely surrounding himself in metal rope to deflect the dust rounds. However he still wasn't aloud to relax just yet as Raiden lands next to him in a handstand and begins to juggle his sword from each of his four limbs.
"Come on Raiden, do you really think it was that bad?" Naruto asks while cursing in his head after his partner had sliced through his rope over a dozen times leaving him with very few options for distance.
"Yes Naruto, it was THAT bad." The cyborg says before kicking the blonde's feet out from under him and kicked him into Luciela who performed a flip over him and rewrapped the male faunus in her two whips, each of them with blades pointed at his throat.
"Give it up Naruto, and hand over the detonator." She demands with shocked gasps coming from the freshmen in the stands.
"Holy shit!"
"Detonator are these guys crazy!?"
"Why are we still here!?"
Glynda for her part knew that Naruto hadn't actually planted an actual bomb, but still his pranks were rather elaborate and somehow always costing the school a lot of time and money. "Mr. Uzumaki, whatever you have planed ends now. Give her the detonator, or else." She threatens with her riding crop in her off hand while she still held a scroll in her dominant.
Looking around him Naruto sees Raiden had sheathed Murasama, but still had one hand on it just in case. Vespa on the other Naruto could make out the outlines of her weapons in her sleeves, but his greater concern was the small layer of smoke covering the floor by her feet. And Luciela, well she already had a weapon to his throat.
So he, did what he always does, something unexpected.
Tossing the detonator straight towards Luciela, her eyes dart off him for a second, but that's all the time he needs. He pushes a button on the grip of Sōran and smiles when the moving parts get to work, and in no time at all Naruto had his weapon in it's second long range form, that being a shotgun with Wind dust.
Kicking it up with his feet he takes a shot at Raiden who dodges to the side and tries to go at him. Vespa seeing where this was going sends in her semblance to capture the blonde, but before she could he freed himself of the metallic whips Luciela had wrapped around him and teleported to the other side of the room.
With a second detonator.
"Well it has been fun, but you can't keep a good prankster down!" He says triumphantly before clicking the device.
From there it was dead silent for a moment before a bloodcurdling scream came from across the room.
Problem was, it wasn't Glynda.
Naruto in fear looks over and see his team leader and girlfriend covered in some of the worst smelling perfume he could create, and since she was a faunus the smell was hitting her harder than anyone else in the room. If someone were to describe the smell it would be along the lines of food left out in the summer sun for at least three weeks, and during that time some homeless people most likely pissed on it and then it became covered sulfur.
Looking up at the contraption Naruto had built he see that it was leaning off a bit, and focusing his eyes he was able to see that at some point one of the bullets that had been shot was deflected into it knocking it off course.
And at this point Naruto froze in fear when he saw the amount of what could only be described as pure rage dripping off of Luciela.
"Would it help if I said I'm sorry?" He asks scared out of his mind.
Her answer was to appear in front of him, her fist now glowing a dull grey, and being sent through three walls.
Hours Later
After the disaster that was the last class of the day teams RWBY, JNPR, and CRDL made their way to the cafeteria, where a still angry Luciela was glaring at a bandaged Naruto.
"I will never forgive you." She said lowly making him sulk. "I already said it was meant for Glynda, what more do you want?"
At hearing this the leader leans down towards him….and then smacks him in the head.
"I want you to be quiet for now." She says sighing at him before looking over the three teams that were before them. "Sorry about what happened in there earlier today. Maybe we need to properly introduce ourselves. And hopefully not every day will be as bad as today was for your time at Beacon. And if it means anything to some of you I talked over your results with my team, first of all we are terribly sorry for…um…putting you guys in the infirmary. Good news is you're definitely the three strongest teams Beacon has to offer this year, I guess it's a good thing we chose you. Oh but I'm rambling on you've all somewhat introduced yourselves, so we should in turn return the favor."
The cat faunus then gave them somewhat of a mock bow, "My name is Luciela, leader of team LVNR. My likes included seafood, carnivals or any kind of festival really, and even though I'm still royally and justifiably pissed at him, my boyfriend." She says making Naruto smile and wave. "My dislikes include hospitals, racists, getting caught in the rain, and when anyone other than myself goes through or even touches my things." She says glancing at Vespa who tried her best to look innocent.
"Dreams for the future, well after getting through this year I'd say try and have a family someday after I've been a Huntress for a few years." She says confidently at the end.
Raiden sighs before he steps forward, "Well then I guess it's my turn. My real name is not something I'm willing to share with you, so for now call me Raiden." He says bluntly earning him some confused stares from the first years.
"My likes include my weapon, Murasama, my father, my teammates, and dogs. My dislikes are having to recalibrate my arm every now and then, and repairing my circuitry after missions. And my dreams for the future are to try and build a better life for those I care about, and get a little payback on one man in particular." He finishes darkly at the end, giving some of the weaker willed teens a shiver down their spines.
"Alright after Raiden's little spookfest I guess it's my turn to little the mood a bit. My name is Vespa no Londo. My likes include my team, a family, my family pet, my two adopted uncles, and reading. Dislikes include those that can't be serious, hospitals, and those that think they are above everyone else. My dream for the future is to be a member of the Mistral Royal Guard like my mother and father were." She says with a small smile.
Naruto now smiling as well decides that it was his turn to go, save the best for last. "Alright then moving on, name's Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto at your service. My likes include ramen, my girlfriend, my team, training, and my family. I dislike most vegetables, people who don't have a sense of humor, and a certain group. My dreams for the future are being the best damned Huntsman I can be!" He says proudly at the end puffing out his chest a bit.
Luciela smiling a bit looks them over and gives a confident grin, "Now that you know a little bit about us, how about we take you all down to Vale for the rest of the day, trust me Ozpin won't know, we don't have to even take a Bullhead. Anyone willing to go?" She asks them.
Somewhat caught off guard they all just stand there somewhat like dear in the headlights, finally it was Weiss who raised her hand, "And just how are we going to get there?" She asks already somewhat knowing what it might be.
That didn't stop her from letting out a screech when Naruto appeared behind her, put his hand on her shoulder, and in the blink of an eye found herself in downtown Vale on top of one of the buildings. "Does this answer your question?" Naruto asks confidently towards her.
She did nothing but stare at him. "I'll take that as a yes then." And with that he left in another flash.
After a few more trips, in the middle of the town square stood all of teams RWBY and JNPR, and two members of team CRDL those being Sky and Russel.
"Alright then think of this as an apology for when we first fought, you all can go have a good time for tonight, just meet us back here in about three hours. Know this though, we are not doing this again, Ozpin has a way of finding out things you try to keep secret." Luciela says knowing that the headmaster most likely knew already.
What no one saw though was the nervous look Jaune had on his face when she said that.
But with that everyone scattered to look around the town leaving the seniors by themselves. "This is a pretty good way to end the day." Vespa says honestly taking a seat near a fountain and gently feeling the cool water around her hand as she moves it gently through the water.
"Yeah it was, sorry again for well….yeah today." Naruto says nervously staring at Luciela who for her part did not look anywhere near as mad compared to earlier, "You're just lucky that I had some pretty strong soap, otherwise I would've skinned you alive." She says walking towards a seafood restaurant.
"Good joke Lu-chan…you were joking right? Hey Lu-chan wait up!" Naruto shouts running after her.
Raiden for his part laughed at the young couple and decided to take a walk around the town, after all he had hours to kill and he was currently tracking everyone one via their scrolls so it's not like he's too worried about them.
What could go wrong on a night like this anyway?
Somewhere in Vacuo
At that very moment someone else was taking a stroll through the streets at night the only two differences were that the streets were empty and this person kept subtly looking over her shoulder every now then, checking shadows, and looking for angles in which she might be ambushed.
And above her almost two blocks away covered in shadows stood another individual listening to the first's every move. The male judging from his size stood at an even six feet tall, he had fair skin that was a bit of the paler side, midnight black hair that hung freely and almost covered his two different colored eyes, one being golden in color and the other being emerald green.
This individual wore all black in the form of matching trousers, a white undershirt covered by a black vest and overcoat, along the sides vials of dust were clearly visible. To complete his look the figure also had black combat boots, a tri-coned hat, and even a leather facemask that only allowed his different colored eyes to peer out into the night. He then heard a call come in on the device he wore in his right ear, so moving his hand over the button he answers it.
"This is Dreamer, what is it sir?" He asks in a deep and hardened voice to the one of the other end.
'Do you have the target?' The voice on the other end asks.
Closing his eyes for a moment the man begins to listen.
"I do, and she has no idea I'm hear though." He says after a few moments of listening.
'And how can you be so certain?' The voice replies.
"Her heart rate has yet to raise at all. She's fought me before, and she also fought The Good Father, if she knew we were here her heart would be much, much faster than it is now." He says lowly looking over to another figure sitting under the moon laying on his back.
This figure was also a male that stood a bit taller then the first at about 6'3 and his skin was paler than the first males, and his eyes were a dark brown. His clothes were greyer than black with his trousers, boots, and gloves being the lightest colored out of the set. His overcoat stretched down to his ankles, yet still aloud quite a bit of mobility, it went over his long-sleeved black shirt, and to finish it there was a short grey scarf around his neck and a wide bribed cap atop his head that was tilted down to cover his face.
'Ah so you're close enough to hear her heart, quiet impressive.' The voice says with a bit of amusement.
"Sir what are our orders? Do you want her eliminated?"
There was a moment of silence as Dreamer stood waiting for his orders to come through.
'No, leave her be for now. She thinks that she is ahead of us, and that will be her downfall. Stay back, but keep an eye on her, that is what He has passed onto to me. If she becomes a problem…she will be dealt with.'
Hearing this the one known as Dreamer scuffs, "It would be better to end her now than let her become a problem later." He says irritated.
The voice however merely laughs, 'Dear oh dear, Dreamer you must remember something. All those who wear our mark, where it for a reason. Think if you will besides, Him, his assistant, and myself would you say is the most terrifying member of our order?' The voice asks making Dreamer begin to think.
"In my opinion the one they call, Monster. I have never met him before in person, but I know the rumors and I've seen the aftermath of what he can do. Nothing but bloody massacres, no sport in it at all."
'Ah yes, Monster. Ironically he's not too unpleasant in person, but his reputation proceeds him, a pity really. Now then let me ask have you met his partner?' The voice asks.
"I remember him, he was the one to greet Father and I, for one so young, to have eyes so cold, I am not sure if it is a tragedy or destiny that he under our banner."
The voice was quite for a moment, 'Yes he is quiet something, you seem to get the point I mean to stress. Unlike Ozpin or the Queen our leader has chosen quality over quantity in this coming war, but enough idle chatter, I believe Father has a mission to do besides keeping watch over Miss Branwen. You'd best be off, wouldn't want to keep your prey waiting.' The voice says before cutting off entirely.
Both dark clothed men look up to the full moon above them, before the one known as Father cracks his neck and looks to Dreamer, "I suppose it is time I go then. Good hunting to you Dreamer." He says before jumping off the building and into the streets.
Scoffing at this Dreamer leans against a brick wall and listens for a particular sound, one that Raven had always made every night before she hide for the night. He smiles in satisfaction when he hears the sound of an old wore out photograph being taken out.
'You truly are lower than beasts, to abandon your kin, to abandon your child. Most loose their children to matters outside their control, but there is always the chance for salvation. Yet I believe you gave yours up. I wonder however what you will do, if your daughter were to die from your mistake Raven. Would you scream? Would you cry? Or would you move on, as if she was never there at all? No I think you do care, in your own way, you would look for the one who kills her, and you yourself would try to avenge her. Perhaps I should find out for myself, after all it will only be a matter of time before either Queen destroys her, or we do. The only question is what you will do when the war begins?'
And Done!
Well there's chapter four I hope you enjoy it.
