*Vrrrrrrrrrt!*...*Vrrrrrrrrrrrt!*

A familiar victory fanfare sounds off, signalling a sleeping beauty to wake from his slumber. Many toss and turns later, the grump barely opens his eyes For what felt like a decade, the sleeping giant gets up and grabs the obnoxious IPhone. He slides the ringer off, and the screen displayed a variety of notification.

With his eyes glued to the screen, he scans over each and every one to see if any were of any importance. With a flick of the thumb, he quickly brushes off the notifications one by one, until he saw a flurry of messages that had stockpiled on top of one another. He scratched his eyes to get rid of the gold dust that had gathered overnight and proceeded to read the following messages.

Jaune: "Hey bro! Hope you're enjoying the summer vacation! Tell Link that I, the great Jaune Arc, have not slacked this whole summer! ….Okay maybe a little if you count all the salt and vinegar chips I ate. But I've still been working out. Gotta keep my guns in shape! Anyways, can't wait to see you guys again!"

The reader rolled his eyes and laughed a little on the inside. He swipes the goofy face off and the next message pops up.

Ren:" If you guys don't mind, please bring lots of pancake batter. Nora lost control of herself when I put her on rehab, and she tried to cook for herself. I walked into the kitchen and found her covered in smoke. Short story, she set the kitchen on fire. Please come back soon."

Now awake, he gave a smirk and shook his head. He opened the Note app and typed in 'pancake mix' with a :(. He opens the messenger app again and this time, an energetic face appeared on screen.

Nora: "Ohhhhhhhhh Lover boy! I know you've been giving everyone great love advice and all, buuuuuuuut, you forgot all about the most important person who needs it most! Me! I mean, not for me, me, if that makes any sense. Look, I need you to pass on your knowledge so I can help a secret admirer! You'll be doing both of us a solid! Killing two birds with one stone! Oh, and when you come back, don't tell anyone. ESPECIALLY REN!"

The reader cocked his head and scratched his head in confusion. "Love boy?" He thought, "I can barely give myself advice on life."

He swipes away the ginger and what came next was a beautiful and gentle soul.

Pyrrha: "Hello again! Has the summer treated you well? Ours have certainly been an eventful one. Even without your team and Shulk's, the group is lively as ever. I think you'd be proud of Jaune. Did you know he looks up to you? I have to thank you and Link again for bringing out the confidence in our fearless leader. By the way, if you don't mind me asking, do you think you could give Jaune more dating advice? You know, set him on the right path! P.S. I hope the dress advice works."

Bad thoughts flooded his head. The memories of a time he vowed to never do again. He shook them off. He put the phone away and decided to get ready for the big day ahead of him. The room was filled with boxes that were packed the day before that were addressed to ship to the Smash Academy. Take the boxes away and all that is left is a clean plain room. A bed in the middle, a dresser on the right side, a closet on the opposite end, and a bathroom on the lower right corner.

As he was cleaning up in the bathroom and getting dressed, siri notified the user of voice text, and asked if he would like her to play them. "Yes", the voiced echoed.
"Now playing: Weiss Schnee"

"Seriously, get here quickly, and by quickly I mean now! She won't stop talking about when you're coming back, or how you guys are taking sooooo long to get here. It's going to drive me crazy! Oh and by the way, make sure Link does not have my scent. I don't need some dog stalking me when school starts. P.S. Does Marth know how to use his phone?"

Now that he thought about it, Marth never did use his phone during the mission. Actually, none of his teammates used their phones. Link, Marth, nor Ike had that kind of technology back in their home world. Now cleaned up, he proceeded to put on a familiar uniform worn in the school of beacon. His black suit lined with gold. Complementing the back suit was a blue vest and a white shirt with a red tie. "Has summer really gone that fast?" He thought.
"Now playing: Yang Xiaolong"

"YO! I hope the 100 sit ups, push ups, and 10k running has helped Ike this summer; because this time I aim to crush him! No excuses! Oh, to make this a little more interesting we're going to have a little wager. Oh, and just between you and me, we really should play some pranks of my little sis when you get back. If you know what I mean. ;)

"Heh, I'll have to take her up on that," he thought. He grabbed his IPhone and stopped the messages. "I better hurry and get back soon. They're getting pretty impatient." He walked down stairs with a bunch of boxes, all while trying to make sure he didn't fall. He finally left the stairs behind and crossed the kitchen to place the box in front of the living room door. "Phew, maybe I should get some help to speed things up."

"Maybe I can help," said a voice from the kitchen.

The man jumped. "Tifa!? when did you get here!? And is that….Sniff..sniff...Bacon!?"

Tifa hugged her stomach as she laughed Hysterically. "Wow, this is 'The Cloud Strife? Scared of a girl in the kitchen, and getting excited over bacon?"

"Hey, I'll have you know I was an ex-Soldier!" Cloud said proudly as he pointed his thumb towards him.

"Oh god, don't start that with me." She said shaking her head.
They both laughed at their little morning encounter. Tifa in particular was the happier one. "I'm really proud of you Cloud."

The swordsman gave her a funny look. "What do you mean?"

"You've been smiling, hell you're laughing! Ever since we stopped Sephiroth, you were so depressed. I mean, understandably so. She scooped up the pieces of bacon and placed them on a plate of two sunny side up eggs. She then walked over to the kitchen table and signaled him to come over. "But now look at you. You're looking like the Cloud from my childhood."

Cloud looked at her with an agonized expression on his face. "Yeah, minus the bullying I had to endure."

Tifa rolled her eyes, "Oh can it! I was toughening you up!"

Cloud walked over to the table to devour the goods. Just as he was ready to sit down, his IPhone rings. He dug into his pocket and saw a picture of Luna from Sailor moon and slid his thumb. "Blake?"

"Hey, you guys are coming back soon right?"

His eyes went round. "You guys need to learn patience."

"Sorry, you know I don't normally do this. But before you leave, I really wanted you guys to bring some books."

"You're a reader?"
"I love books. Link is suppose to come back with something called the Hyrule Historia, and Robin is bringing back a bunch of his Tomes."

Cloud smirked. "You just want to use magic."
"...Maybe..By the way, you're most likely going to get a barrage of text."

"From?"

"You'll see." *Click*

Confused, he bothered with the phone no more, and scarfed down the delicacy that was Tifa's breakfast.

"Aww, Cloud is making friends." The cook said jokingly.

"Shut up."

"Loser said what?"

"What?"

"HA!"

"Tifa!"

She laughed once more at their banter, only to bring a brooding expression on her face. "I can't believe the summer is over already."

Cloud finished chowing down and looked out the window of the kitchen. What used to be considered the slums now flourished with mother nature and modern architect. No longer being plagued by dusty dirt roads and copper homes. The Smash tournament really paid off, and the mission on Remnant only helped even more. To top it all off, he got paid vacation in the summer. Were it not for him, the slums would still be in a miserable state. He looked at Tifa, trying to reassure her with a smile. "I'll be over before you know it. Besides, you have Ryu!"

Tifa gave him a stern look. "Obviously I have him, he's the best thing to ever happen to me.!" Tifa gained flashbacks of when she first laid eyes on the wandering warrior. His fight with Little Mac that took her to the edge of her seat. After the fight, she asked for his autograph and asked to get together for dinner, needless to say, things went from there. "He may be more important than you."

"Oh gee thanks."

"But you're my childhood friend, and you're going to some wierd far off place. I don't need you dying on me."
Cloud scoffed at the thought. "As if anything can kill me there."

Tifa crossed her arms. "Don't get cocky now. Remember the girl with the floating swords?"

Cloud gulped. "Oh right."

The blonde got a flurry of vibrations and the sound of Chocobos ringing from his phone.

"Could be the flurry of text that person was talking about." Said a chuckling Tifa.

He unlocked his phone and saw that it was none other than the Little Red Riding Hood herself.
Ruby: "I'M BORED! There! Now that I got your attention entertain me."
Cloud thought about sending a usual text. But a figment of his imagination came into play. Separated from the outside world, Kermit the Frog phased into his sights; the green frog was also sporting a black cloak. "Play with her."

Cloud smiled deviously and began typing, all while having bad thoughts.
Cloud: "Can't with Yang at the moment."

Tifa's eyes widened when she read the text. "Oh you are so dead."

Cloud shrugged. "What?"

His phone went off immediately. Taking less than five seconds for her to reply.

Ruby: ":(((((((( :((((((( :(((((("

Ruby: "WAIT A MINUTE! THAT MEANS YOU'RE HERE!"

Ruby: "OMG! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Tifa raised an eyebrow. "Cloud, did you get that weird frog?"

Cloud was taken aback. "Wait, how did you-"

"I get him all the time whenever I think about doing bad stuff to you." She said with a wink.

Cloud slumped in his chair. "So you agree with him all the time?"

"Pretty much."

His phone went off once again, this time for ferociously. He picked it up and felt the presence of an awful vibe steaming off his phone.

Ruby: "YANG WON'T OPEN THE DOOR!"

Yang: "Dude, nice! I didn't think you'd do the prank this early! What do we do next?"

Cloud was caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, he could have a little bit more fun to make his trip more interesting when he gets there. However, there is the chance that he is gambling his life and might not make it through the first week of school. "Why the hell not?" He thought.
Cloud: "Try to keep the charade up for as long as you can. I'll try to make it there as soon as possible."

He slid his phone back into his pocket and got up to get the rest of his things. Tifa got up as well, and looked him straight in the eye. Cloud felt uneasy, and almost walked away. But he knew Tifa, and she wasn't going to let him go that easily. To be perfectly honest, he was just hoping that he wasn't he going to get an earful of scolding and nagging.
Tifa took breathed in slowly, and sighed. "I know I give you a hard time.

His eyes went round. "That's an understatement."

"Don't fuck up."

The blonde warrior smirked. "Come on now, we're not reenacting our abridged series!"

She smiled. "Just….come back safely. Okay?"

He walked towards the stairs and gestured a thumbs up as he climbed up to get the rest of his stuff.

Morning had passed and Cloud had said his goodbyes to the planet Gaia. Master hand had personally came to escort him via portal. With the snap of his thumb and index finger, the portal ripped through the fabric of reality and ate through enough space to fit the Giant glove and the giant sword wielder. In just a few moments the portal quickly transported our hero from the recovering slums to the extravagant Court yard of the Smash Academy. "Wow, it never ceases to amaze me," he said in awe.

"I've actually made more adjustments to the academy thanks to the income from DLC. I got to put our 1000 acres to good use!" The glove stated proudly.

"You can thank me for most of your DLC income", Said a smug solder.

He continued to admire the campus. 1000 acres of a dominant suburban setting. There were two villages on opposite ends of the campus; the North village and South village. The Union resided in the middle of campus. The Union was a three story building equipped with various restaurants, a coffee shop, convenience store, rec room, multimedia room, and cafe. The rest of the campus also housed a gym, an indoor pool, architect building, Engineering building, and science building.

To the east side of campus is where the famous Smash Stadium lay. Established in 1999 the Smash Stadium is one of the most advanced stadiums in the universe; capable of transforming into various settings and environments. Master hand had made improvements over the last 17 years with each iteration making a huge leap in technical achievement, and stage design.

"Man, I wonder what it could have been like to see it from the beginning," Cloud said as he marveled at its beauty.

The glove fluttered a bit. "Well, if you would have stayed and not betray us, you could have been on team Nintendo."

"Tch, and be compressed to hell with those cartridges? No thank you. CD-ROMS or get out."

Master Hand creeped in closer. "But the Nintendo Switch though."

Cloud paused for a moment, and thought about Final Fantasy XV on the go with the new cartridges. "Well…."

Master hand snapped his fingers imitating the sound of the Switch ad. "We got Skyrim on the go."

"Cartridges or GET OUT!" The SOLDIER yelled.

"Seriously, could you guys get any louder?" Said a familiar voice.

The two turned around to see a woman in blue leading six other party members. All the familiar faces were carrying suitcases, backpacks, and as usual the one guy with a wagon full of luggage. They also sported the beacon academy uniform both male and female alike.

"Well aren't you guys a sight for sore eyes," Cloud said.

Ike ran up to the Blond and put him in a light choke hold. "You damn right! Aren't I a beauty?"

"If anything, you haven't aged well over the summer," Marth scoffed.

Ike glared at blue pretty boy and smacked his teeth. "What proof do you have?"

"When we transitioned from Brawl," Link said with a grin.

Ike let go of Cloud and sulked in his low self-esteem.

"Wait, it's not sulking time! I want to know what you used to look like!" Said Shulk enthusiastically.

Samus pulled out her IPhone the team to see with Cloud peeping in. The screen graced them with a screenshot comparison of the character select screen from both Brawl and Wii U. The primary focus? Ike.

"I'm actually quite baffled Ike," Robin mocked. "Isn't the transition from standard to high definition supposed to make you look better?"

Ike stomped as hard as he could. "I'll have you know, the devs gave me some pretty big guns. I'd say I've aged with grace."

Corrin burst into laughter. "Not even a DLC skin will save you!"

Ike crouched down and drew little circles to ease the pain. However the little rain cloud that hangs over his head reminded him that he just got burned. "I'm glad to see you guys again too."

"Now's not the time to sulk!" Master Hand said with a peace pose. "The world of Remnant is in need of peace making and Ozpin was impressed with your work! It's show time!"

Shulk raised his hand catching the Glove's attention. "Excuse me, but can we get more Shulk time?"

"I beg your pardon?"

"I barely got any screen time on the last volume. Samus is a side character and she got more action than the rest of team SSRC."

"I think everyone gets more action than you," Samus mocked.

"I'm afraid I don't have an ice Tome for a burn heal," Robin stated.

Master Hand gave a thumbs up. "Listen, I have no control over this. You're going to need to have a conversation with the creator and readers."

Shulk crossed his arms and frowned. "I haven't even been paired yet."

Master hand snapped his fingers and ripped open the portal to Remnant. This time Corrin raised her hand. "Soooo...we are going straight to the school...right?"

"But of course! Where else would I take you?"

"In front of a Dust robbery," Cloud stated.

"...Right on."

Corrin looked at the portal with a brooding look. "I don't want to throw up my lunch again."

"I assure you, I've worked out the kinks! Trust me!" He exclaimed with another thumbs up.

Cloud gave the signal for everyone to move in. "Come on guys. Best not to keep our friends waiting."

The party phased through effortlessly and just like that, the portal closed in silence. The passageway of the portal was unlike what it was last time. The work that Master Hand put in was night and day. He overhauled the empty void of the portal and instead opted for a more aesthetically pleasing scenery. Instead of free falling, they walked on a brick road surrounded by water and a coliseum like building. The environment triggered a memory in Cloud with vivid throwbacks to the All-Star Colosseum. What awaited them was a light at the end of the road; one by one they each pass through crossing their fingers and hoping the exit is just as smooth as the entrance.

The Heroes were greeted with a large formal dining room running down the length of a cloister-like hall. The dining sported long tables running the length of the hall with benches on both sides and walking areas in between. The gothic like appearance reminded them that this was still a battle school. This was made more apparent with the academy's crossed-ax logo.

The nostalgic feeling didn't last long for Cloud due to an immediate feedback from the sudden realization that they had just traveled through a portal in front of many students. Or so he thought. Nostalgia was completely lost when he saw food being thrown from all directions. "What the hell is going on!?" He surveyed the area and realized his crew was not with him. "Great, just great. Master Hand this is the second time!" The atmosphere grew as Cloud heard a maniacally evil laugh in the distance. Cloud turned to see that Team JNPR had claimed one half of the cafeteria. Tables and vending machines were stacked in a ramshackle manner, and the evil laughter came from none other than Nora.

"Ahahahaha!" I see you've finally arrived Cloud Strife!"

"Uhh…"

"I don't know how you got here-"

"I can explain!"

"Nevermind that! You were probably going to tell me you got here with some portal."

"Caught red handed." Cloud's body got heavier knowing Master Hand would not be pleased to have others know of other worldly interference. "See about that.."

"But you can't fool me! I know you've been hiding under the tables all this time with the rest of your hardy crew!" The evildoer pointed towards to the far left corner of the cafeteria. Alas, the rest of CLIM was safe and sound. For the time being anyways.
Link waved towards Cloud and let out a frightening expression. "Cloud if you could make haste, that would be most swell!"

"Cloud!?" Yelled a cute voice.

Ruby stomped her foot on the table and pointed towards the lost mercenary. "Citizen! If you want to stay safe, I suggest joining the winning team known as teeeaaaam RWBY!"

"Yeah!" All of team RWBY yelled in unison with their fist raised.

"Is this a test?" Cloud asked.

"You better believe it is! Ruby exclaimed. "It's a test of strength, endurance, loyalty, and BRAGGING RIGHTS!"

"Where is team SSRC?"

"You mean those evil outsiders over there!?" She yelled as she pointed to the other end.

The Team was combat ready as they had already settled into their makeshift fort. Shulk had just finished building a soda turret out of the various vending machines lying around. He cocked the gun and let out a smirk. "Now it's Shulk time!"

Cloud's eyes widened. "Oh cra-"

*Ratatatatatatatatatatatata

Cloud made a mad dash towards his team and vaulted over various rubble. Link grabs a frying pan and uses it as a shield to deflect the oncoming soda barrage. Ike counters the barrage with a giant cucumber that had no reason for being so big.

On the opposition Robin used Arc Fire to set ablaze some steaks with Corrin using her wings to fling them in the air. Samus leaped and kicked the steaks towards her foes on team RWBY.

Both Marth and Weiss grabbed a swordfish and stab away at the blazin steaks. By the time they were done, they made themselves a nice kebab. Instead of eating them like normal people, the duo swung them back at the enemy. Samus raised her leg and smacks down a table to use it as cover.

In the Midst of all the chaos, Link decided to pull out a trump card that was forbidden in the land of Hyrule. The Hero of time pull out a Cucco and threw it onto the battlefield. The Cucco feared for its life, finally free from captivity; only to be thrown into more and soda cans were slammed onto our feathered beast one by one. The sheer force of meat, grease, aluminum and flavors were overwhelming. Almost all hope was lost for the beaten Cucco. But within this battered Cucco lied an unmeasurable anger, and lust for revenge. It opened its bloodshot eyes, spread its wings, and summoned a barrage of Cuccos. Hundreds of its feathered friends and family rained from above; pecking and clawing all four teams.

The Majority went over to teams JNPR and SSRC with Jaune flailing around helplessly. "I thought we fried all the chickens!" Yelling that only angered the Cuccos more, and increased the force of their barrage on the teams. The sheer number of Cuccos was too much for Ren's StormFlower.

"We can't keep this up!" Ren yelled.

Try as she might, Pyrrha's semblance was useless against the angry birds. She turned towards the other team and called out to them. "If you guys have a trump card, now would be splendid!"

"I've had enough of this!" Corrin drove her drill arm into the ground, creating a large energy field which transported all the Cuccos in the air. She got on all fours and began to transform into her dragon state. Her school uniform molded into armor, her back sprouted wings and she grew long sharp claws along with a tail. She launches a whirl of water into the Cuccos and washes them all away.

With less stuff flying around, Samus took the opportunity to grab both a milk and juice box to use as makeshift liquid pistols. She danced elegantly as she violently squeezed the boxes releasing the contents at astonishing speeds. At the rate the liquids were traveling; the impact would be similar to that of a rubber bullet.

"Crap!" Cloud looked to the side and picked up two giant pair of ribs. Before he could react, Ruby appeared in front of him and swiped away at the liquids effortlessly.

She turned and winked at our hero. "I had to bail you out sooner or later!"

Cloud smirked, "Right on. Let's get this show on the road!" Both Cloud and Ruby charged towards the enemy with Samus continuing to shoot varying flavors. The Mercenary and Huntress slashed not one, two, three, or four, but five different strokes together to perform a duo Cross Slash!

With Samus busy fighting Cloud and Ruby, Robin prepared a basket of eggs with Nosferatu. The black purple mist that surrounded the eggs sucked every inch of life and severely left them rotten. Robin made the eggs levitate and transported them over to Corrin who had her arm fang ready. With the eggs loaded up, Corrin Spewed out the little devils in a spread shot fashion.

Cloud's eyes filled with fear while Ruby taking aim in hopes of not having those stinkers make impact on them. Cloud looked saw Link running towards him with a basket full of tomatoes and a light bulb appeared above Cloud's head.

"Link!" Cloud yelled with Link nodding and leaping above Cloud. The Mercenary stuck out his giant rib for Link to land on and Twirled violently to perform a Finishing Touch! Link soared through the sky and released his makeshift tomato bombs! The cafeteria was hosting a war between gas and acid as they battled for superiority.

The battle was reaching its climax, both teams have exhausted most of their energy. The cafeteria had turned into an unbelievable mess. The teams however, were not going down without a victory. Ike grabbed Yang by the waist and charged his breadstick to prepare Quick Draw.

"You ready my lady?"

Yang taken aback by the bold brash nature. Men wouldn't dare touch her without her touching them first. The blush that rushed to her cheeks burned brightly and only showed signs of getting deeper. All she could do was let out her game face. "And what are we getting ready to do?"

Ike let out a cocky smirk. "To kick some ass!" Ike unleashed the energy he charged and dashed to the opposite end of the cafeteria. Yang drove her fist into two turkeys to use as makeshift boxing gloves, and Nora stabbed a Watermelon with a metal pole to and charged towards the duo. Shulk charged in along with the fearless leader and grabbed his own breadstick to match Ike's. Ike swung with all his might with his breadstick slamming onto Shulk's. With Ike still holding onto Yang she used the momentum of Ike and got a running to put all her power into one punch with Nora barley blocking the yellow maiden's punch.

"You know, I'm not sure what to be more impressed by. Our fighting, or the durability of the food." Ike said jokingly.

"Actually, Whoever is in charge of the food at Beacon is awesome! I mean, baguettes, celery, turkey, swordfishes and pies too!" Said a struggling Shulk.

The four were at a complete standstill with neither moving an inch. Shulk let out a smirk and grabbed his Monado from behind his back.

"What the-" Ike blurted

"Heh, sorry, gotta cheat just this once!" Shulk activated his Monado arts and switched over to smash.

And just like that, a surge of power filled the bodies of Shulk and Nora. The newfound strength helped the duo bring their weapons back and swing with full force. Try as he might, Ike swooped in front of Yang to take the hit from both. Alas, it was useless. The power of the Monado was too much for him to handle, much less protect Yang. The impact hit him so hard Yang felt the wind behind his back. They both flew towards the sky and broke through the roof. Flying so high it would make Team Rocket envious.

The duo gave each other a high five and let out an evil laughter all while striking a cocky pose. Pissed off, Marth and Weiss looked to each other and nodded.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Weiss asked.

"I say we the peasants in their place," Marth replied.

They made a mad dash towards the leaders of the other team and brought their swordfishes together. Shulk and Nora heard the attackers coming but were too late to react once they had open their eyes. The two fishermen performed Dolphin Slash into the shape of an X. The sharp pain of the majestic swordfish had knocked out Shulk and Nora cold.

Marth and Weiss twirled their swordfish and had their back against each other.

"Perfect execution Ms. Schnee," Marth said.

"It helps having someone as perfect as me." She replied.

"That attitude will be your downfall. But just this once I'll let it slide because I agree with that statement." He said with a wink.

As they were busy with their banter, Robin had been charging his Thunder Tome the entire time. Charged all the way, he unleashed it all into a single beam of lightning.

"THORON!"

The electricity ran through their body like prickling needles. Their bodies vibrated so violently, they could no longer stand on their two feet. Robin put so much MP into Thoron it practically left their bodies covered in black.

"We're down four to six." Ruby stated.

"Do we count Jaune?" Cloud asked.

"Yes," replied Link. "We mustn't underestimate him."
"Just so you know, he cheated on his diet...sooo down four to five?" Blake said sheepishly.

Cloud brought his bread in front of him and started charging. "Limits are meant to be broken!"

Link knew he was getting out one of his trump cards and turned to Blake. "I need you to wear these hover boots!"

Blake looked puzzled as he handed her the winged boots."

"Trust me! Holding hands isn't going to be enough with what he's whipping up!"

"I'd rather much hold hands."

"Blake I need you."

"Link, you haven't been reading Ninja's in Love have you?"

"Goddesses! No! That material is filth!"

"What are you going to do?" She asked as she was putting them on.

Link's body was surrounded by a colorful aura, reminiscent of when one breaks a Smash Ball. "Finishing the fight!"

Cloud was fully charged and he raised his bread high. "Ruby, when I unleash this, I need you to use your semblance to carry them in there and rev it up."

"What exactly am I revving up?"

"Finishing Touch!" Cloud brought his bread back and swung it full force releasing a voracious twister.

Ruby zoomed towards the tied duo and carried them inside the twister. All of Team JNPR and SSRC were sucked into the vortex helplessly as the debri they've all hanged onto was being sucked in along with them. With the help of the Hover Boots Blake was able to zip around land blows onto the enemy with her green onion sword. Link soared effortlessly with the power of the triforce and furiously swiped away at the enemy. Link and Blake put all their power into one last attack and crossed paths with one another to perform an X slash; dispersing the twister and everything in it!

Bodies of Team JNPR and SSRC were slammed against the walls of the cafeteria, and dropping down like helpless flies. Debri was everywhere and the cafeteria was in no condition to pass a health inspection. Soda was starting to stick and the smell of food was beginning to become overbearing.

Unfortunately for Team CLIM and RWBY, their celebration had to wait due to a woman bursting through the cafeteria doors. The scary lady stormed through the cafeteria and growled. She proceeded to use her telekinesis semblance to restructure the room and throw away the food and soda.

"Cloud Strife." She said

"Oh come on," He thought. "She can't seriously single me out like this."

"I would have expected you and your team to stop the fight. Not meddle in it."

Shulk laughed in the background as he lay in defeat.

"You're not off the hook Mr. Shulk." She scolded.

Shulk gulped.

"Come now, it was just a friendly competition." Robin said as he walked towards Goodwitch.

"You can't seriously use that as an excuse young man."

Robin smiled. "Well, both our teams haven't been here all summer. We just got a little carried away is all."

"I expect some sort of compensation for putting me through the trouble of cleaning up."

Robin bowed down with grace. "If that's the case, then I shall take all the blame."

The rest of the crew were speechless. They were fearing the most cruel kind of punishment, maybe even getting expelled. The fact that he took the bullet for them was something they could not comprehend. Was he mad?

"Now I'm curious, just what are you willing to offer?" She said crossing her arms.

"An offer you can't refuse," he said confidently.

She signed and turned around to see that Ozpin was watching the whole time. She walked towards him to tell the news but he cut her off before she could utter a word.

"Let it go."

She sighed once more. "They're supposed to be the defenders of the world."

"And they will be, but right now they're still children."

Ozpin glanced over Goodwitch to see Ike and Yang had fallen back down with Yang using Ike to soften the landing. The Smashers were laughing and goofing off alongside his students."So why not let them play the part? Ozpin walks away from Glynda. After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever."

Back on over to the younger characters. The crew were catching up from the long separation the Smashers made them endure.

"Seriously, you guys suck at texting!" Nora bursted.

Link pressed his index fingers together. "Ahehe...about that...we don't know how to use them."

"Awwww! Big guy I could've helped you out! Yang said still sitting on the warrior.

"The embarrassment was too much to bear," Ike Muffled.

"Whoa, hold on there! Cloud interrupted. "Everyone except me, Samus, and Shulk."

"Then you of all people really don't have an excuse!" Little Red said as she pressed her fingers onto his chest.

"H-hey! I texted back!"

"Oh yes, he texted back alright! Great job buddy!" Yang replied with a thumbs up.

Cloud put his hands in front of him to get ready for the greatest punch Ruby will have ever thrown. She pulled back, and aimed straight for the gut. Sadly for her, the only thing she gained was a soft "plop" noise.

"Uh..ow?" He said sarcastically.

"Oh shut up."

The friends all laughed despite being exhausted from the most epic food fight of all time.

"Seriously guys, welcome back," said Jaune.
