Zzzt-zzzt...zzzt-zzzt…
"Ugh…"
Zzzt-zzzt...zzzt-zzzt…
"SHUT UP!", I groaned. I flung my arm over to my scroll. "Goddamnit. Who the hell is calling me this early?"
I looked to my scroll. It was 3:35 in the morning. Who the hell would possibly need to be calling me right now? The number was unknown. It was probably some wrong number. Odds are in my favor. Only one other person had my number. And she knew not to call me at this time unless it was an emergency. Sliding my finger across the red button i flopped back into bed.
ZZZT-ZZZT...ZZZT-ZZZT
"SonofaBITCH", I yelled groggily. It was the same goddamn number. Not wanting to take the chance of them calling a third time I begrudgingly picked up the phone. I sat up on my bed and rubbed my eyes.
"Hello?"
My voice was groggy. I really didn't care for whoever this was. They probably didn't need my full attention. "Hello Mr. Vanoss"
My eyes snapped open. I went to stand up, but fell over. I couldn't see anything. I must have tripped over the crowbar again.
THUD
I scrambled to grab my scroll again. Falling over in the dark it illuminated the room facing up. I got over to it and picked it up, kicking the crowbar over. I was snapped into a sense of alertness.
"Who is this? How did you get my number?!", I practically shouted into the device.
"I advise you lower your voice. You wouldn't want to draw unwanted attention right?"
"You didn't answer my question!", I said a little bit quieter.
"I am the headmaster of beacon academy. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Vanoss", he said rathe carelessly.
I huffed in disbelief. "Oh yeah? Well I'm a giraffe", I remarked.
"I don't think that's true. You do have wings. In fact, I think you're more akin to an owl", the voice said 'as a matter of factly'.
"Who. The hell. IS THIS?!", I went back to shouting.
"I've already told you who I am. Although I suppose you haven't heard my name. Nevertheless, I'll state it anyway. I am Ozpin, headmaster of beacon academy."
"Why should I believe you? And HOW DID YOU GET MY NUMBER?!"
"If by chance I am speaking the truth, don't you think you should listen to what I have to say?"
"Even if that wasn't true I would have to listen anyway, because you still haven't told me . .DAMN-"
"Why don't you go down stairs and see for yourself?" With that he hung up the line. I stared at my scroll in disbelief.
"FuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUC-"
ZZZT-ZZZT
"I swear to god!"
I looked at the phone again. It was Eve. I picked up instantly.
"Eve!"
"Hey Evan", she replied casually.
"What the hell is going on?!", I was practically panicking at this point.
"Well there's some guy downstairs with a cane and a coffee mug here to see you? Said he was from the school Beacon, something about something being urgent."
"But why the hell did you give him my number?"
"Well he already knew who you were, and you told me not to call you unless it's an emergency, and I know you wouldn't think this is an emergency, so I had him tell you himself", she said sarcastically. "Also, I'm tired", she added.
"Okay-okay", I calmed down. "I'll be down in a sec", I said hastily.
"HEY!", she shouted before I hung up.
"What? What happened?"
"This could be your chance to become a huntsman Evan. Don't mess this up", she said sternly.
"Okay"
"And you owe me"
"OKAY", I shouted into the tiny screen. The second the tone signaled her hanging up I practically threw my scroll. Thankfully it just hit my bed as I sprung into action.
OhshitohshitohshitohshitohShitOhSHIT
I thought. I scrambled to my drawer. I pulled out a pair of jeans and didn't even wait till they were all the way on to look for my other stuff. I flicked on my lamp and fell over doing so.
"Fuck!"
I hastily zipped up my jeans and threw on a t-shirt. There was no way this was happening. She must be pulling some kind of prank. Damn she was clever. But then she wouldn't have gave my identity away like that. If there was even a chance this was true I should probably jump at the opportunity. I looked around for my crowbar before i remembered i kicked it somewhere. I didn't see it on the floor. The angled roof by my bed didn't make it easy to see from up high so I looked under the bed.
"AHA!" I grabbed the crowbar and opened the small crate under the bed as well. I flipped the two latches on the front and flipped it open. Inside was my crossbow bolts and my jacket. I slipped on the jacket and adjusted awkwardly as my wings fumbled through the openings. They weren't anything specially tailored for. I didn't let anyone know about them. People would piece it together too easily. So I personally adjusted the jacket myself. But I only wear it when I go out as Vanoss. I put the crowbar and the bolts inside my jacket holsters and quickly looked in the mirror leaning on the other sloped wall. Living in an attic made furniture tight.
My red jacket fit snugly as my wings fit through the back. It sucked that i had to cut my clothes for this, but I took it upon myself to try and be a huntsman, and now was the time to prove myself. I grabbed my mask and threw it over my head, and put up my hood.
I was ready. "Alright", I said to myself. I was nervous, but excited at the same time. I quickly snatched my scroll and shoved it into my back pocket. I flicked off the lamp and headed to the door. I stopped realizing I couldn't leave the building through the door. Unfortunately i slipped on my carpet and headbut the door.
THUD
"Oh shit", I said to myself. That hurt. But I seriously couldn't leave out the door if someone was downstairs. Too risky. I opened my window jutting out of the angled roof.
"Uhhh", I nervously looked for something small. There was a soda can on one of the drawers. I quickly grabbed it and focused on its shape.
Pop
I hopped onto the window sill and shut the window from the outside.
Let's do this!, I thought to myself. I scuttled up the roof and turned back into my form.
"Alright Vale, get ready for Batowl!", I loudly whispered to myself.
*Linebreak :D*
"Yeah he'll be down here in a second", Eve said to the tall man in front of her.
"Excellent. I look forward making his acquaintance", he said drinking whatever was in his mug. Eve was a little nervous. Not only had she knew Evan's identity, he knew where he lived. And most likely her connection as well. Shifting nervously she put her head in her hands and leaned on the counter.
"He's not in any sort of trouble right? I mean I know he is technically a vigilante but he's just trying to make a difference", she asked.
"A difference in what?", he asked leaning on his cane. "And he seems to put himself in trouble enough as it is. I doubt there's anything I could do that'd be more dangerous than his 'occupation'."
Suddenly there was a thud outside the door.
"Owww", came from outside.
"That's him", Eve muttered. She walked past Ozpin to the door to see Vanoss getting up. "I'm alright", he said unconvincingly. "You know you could just turn into a cup and leave out the front door. It's not like anyone is coming to the coffee shop when it's closed", she said opening the door. "But I still have to learn to use my wings! What's the point in having them if I can't fly?", he asked dusting himself off.
"I don't know Evan. Hiding them and keeping them inactive during most of the day is probably not helping", she said sarcastically.
"Eve! It's Batowl!"
"Vanoss", Ozpin but in.
"It's Batowl"
"Evan.",Eve said.
"What Eve?!"
"He knows your name", she said plainly.
"...Goddammit…", he said taking off his mask.
"Ah, Evan Fong. We finally meet. I must say, quite the interesting place to reside. The attic above a coffee shop in the middle of Vale. Nobody would suspect a thing", he said approaching Evan.
"Yeah yeah, it's clever whatever. So how did you find me?", he said with his mask now off.
"Well I can't say it was easy. It took a lot of surveillance of a little can running through the streets"
"I told you to be careful Evan", Eve slipped.
"Hey it was the best I could do without flying", he protested.
"Well Mr. Vanoss-"
"Batowl."
"I believe the community knows you as Vanoss", Ozpin replied.
Evan sighed in defeat. "I honestly don't know how they got that name", he half sighed.
Ozpin smirked and pulled out his scroll. "Your first appearance was when you left your daytime job-"
"You know about my job?!", he asked putting both hands on his head in a panic.
"Yes", Ozpin replied shortly.
"You left your daytime job to stop a nearby robbery of the dust store. You managed fly out this window and crash on top of a VMW."
Eve chuckled. Vanoss glared in her direction but returned his attention to Ozpin. "Shortly after crashing onto the vehicle, you grabbed your crowbar, which you had kept from you work, and incapacitated the robber. You were exposing your wings however and kept your mask on to hide your identity as a fanaus. But in your attempt to get away you returned to the VMW, quickly banged out the dents, then grabbed the a part under the cars hood. The name came from people reportedly watching a Vanoss system from a VMW fleeing the scene of the foiled crime. Is that accurate?"
Evan nodded and was about to ask-
"How did you know that?", Eve asked now behind the counter again.
"One of my school's group of students were coming to your coffee shop, and recorded the event. If I remember correctly it was on a Sunday", he concurred.
"So you knew the entire time?", Evan asked obliviously.
"No. I had the team investigate into the matter. And their findings matched the description of a certain owl fanaus vigilante making an anonymous name for himself", Ozpin finished.
"Wow. He knew more about you than you knew about you", Eve chuckled again.
"Shut up!", Evan shouted as she laughed at his obliviousness. Sighing in defeat he looked back to Ozpin who seemed to be enjoying himself. "So what do you want?", Evan got to the point.
"I'd like for you to earn a place in my school", he said nonchalantly.
"Okay and how would I do that?", Evan asked folding his arms.
"Stopping the robbery taking place on Fourth. Street", Ozpin said. Evan's eyes widened. "Why wouldn't you say so sooner?", he practically shouted.
"I would also like some coffee-"
"I'm on it", Eve said.
"Eve-"
"You owe me twice", she cut him off. Sighing he grabbed his mask in hands and was about to put it on. "Anything else?", Evan asked.
"I'd like some more information when you get back. If you impress me, I'll have something waiting for you upon your return", Ozpin said. "You'd better get going. I'll be watching", he said as Eve passed him a cup of coffee.
"Alright!", he said booking it out the door. Ozpin turned to Eve. She was tired but Ozpin clearly meant business. "You're not even watching him are you", she asked.
"Not at all", he said sipping the cup. "But I have someone else watching him. Much like you are.", he said. The girl deadpanned resting her head on her hands trying to stay awake.
"Uhuh", she uttered. "I figured you'd be a little more nervous about it", Ozpin pryed.
"We're young adults and I happen to like him. He saved my shop once and I lent him the room above mine. That answer your questions?", she still deadpanned.
"I wasn't going to ask about why you let him stay here. In fact I already know your relationship with hi-"
"He's an oblivious guy. He's focusing on his dream. I guess I'm just one of the steps along the way", she said before yawning. "I'm just a girl who happens to be his friend. Teenage romance doesn't have as much denial as you think it does."
"Whatever do you mean?", he asked curiously.
"People don't constantly think to themselves 'no, there's no way i like that guy'. People aren't that insecure. It makes for crappy intimacy."
"I meant I knew about your immediate relationship. Not your intimate one. But i must say its quite funny", he said chuckling.
"You better watch who you're laughing at. You may know him, but you don't know me", she said in a challenging tone.
"Eve Irina. Female, 5' 6' (sorry idk metric equivalent), brown eyes, past shoulder length brown hair, fair skin tone (white), human and currently has a crush on the owl fanaus that rushed out of your shop to dust store currently not being robbed", he said once again sipping on the coffee cup.
…
"Shut up", she said flustered. Ozpin only chuckled again.
Second line break
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vanoss skidded around the street corner when he spotted the coffee shop. He stopped before he came in front of the window. He peeked inside to see only two people currently inside. There was the shop keeper standing behind the counter, no doubt old. Then speaking to him was a short girl dressed in a black and red skirt with some kind of mechanical shifting rifle on her back.
Good thing I've got my own, he thought to himself. He grabbed the crowbar in his red jacket and watched it transform. The large bulk of the crowbar shifted and broke into sections until it clicked into the form of a crossbow. Anyone could have a mechanical shifting weapon if they really wanted to. Vanoss' weapon was one of the few that could actually be both counterparts at the same time. The only downside being the crowbar was freaking heavy. He loaded in his bolts as a thin drum magazine expanded on top of the crossbow. The insides rotated and clicked when the mag was full with the bolts.
Good thing Vanoss knew about weapon engineering. The magazine allowed for him to fire bolts repeatedly with rapid succession. The kinetics could stop Ursa at full capacity with the gravity cartridge full. It was expensive to manage gravity dust, especially to put it into a cartridge. He had Eve to thank for that. If he didn't have to split his finances with hers, he probably couldn't afford it. He was only a mechanic. It just goes to show, one good deed deserves another.
Pop
He popped into the form of his round disc shaped cartridge and walked in. He slowly rolled into the dust shop slipping through the door. He could hear the girl talking to the man in a rather calm manner. It seemed odd to him she was alone in a robbery. But she had a gun of some kind. And this was just an old guy.
What he didn't account for was the bell the old man put at the top of the door. They both turned to the cartridge rolling into the shop as it stopped and flopped over in front of the girl after it rolled right between her legs.
"Uhhhm", the girl seemed to be at a loss for words.
"Suprise you broke mothafucka!"
'DINK'
"EEP!", the girl shrieked when Vanoss popped up in between them before being sent flying out the door. The bolt sent her out the door with the tiny bell going 'ring' as she flew by. Vanoss had chuckled to himself. That was easier than he thought. He got up from his crouched position and turned to the shopkeeper.
"Was that girl robbing you?", he felt the need to ask. This just seemed way too off. He simply shook his head to say no. "Aww cra-"
"Hi there!", she said behind him.
"AH!" he shouted in surprise. She grabbed onto Vanoss and quickly turned to the shopkeeper. "I'll be right back!", she said cheerily. Vanoss realized what was going on. "Oh cra- AHHHHHH"
'Ring'
She held Vanoss by the wings and zipped him outside. This girl was faster than she had ever seen any girl ever.
"AHHHHH LET GO", he shouted. "Okay", she simply replied. She let go of him letting him tumble to the ground, but Vanoss quickly recovered catching the ground the the claw of his crowbar. He spread his wings to slow himself down a bit faster. The ground broke and the pavement of the street broke against the weapon. He figured someone was gonna have to pay for that.
"Hey jeez, watch the wings would you! These things are delicate", he said dusting off his feathers. They were mostly brown with a couple white feathers here and there. Similar to his mask.
"You didn't have to shoot me you know!", she retorted.
"I thought you were robbing the place! I thought you weren't going to cooperate!", he shouted in return. "Why would you think I was going to rob the place?!"
"Because the guy told me to stop a robbery!"
"What guy?!"
"Some guy named Ozpin that showed up at my coffee shop!"
Her face turned to that of a look of confusion, then she facepalmed. "Oh goddammit Ozpin!", she shouted at nobody in particular. "You know that guy?", Vanoss asked through his owl mask.
"Yeah, he does a lot of weird things! Ok so I guess that means that you're the guy I was supposed to be waiting for", she said. "Ugh I wish his instructions would just be clearer", she said embarrassed.
"What?", Vanoss was confused. She looked up at him about to say something but then stopped.
"Wait a minute, I know you!", she shouted.
"You do?!", Vanoss asked uncertainly.
"You're Vanoss!", she said excitedly. Before Vanoss could even say anything she zipped over to him and appeared with a pen and paper right in front of his face.
"Can I have your autograph?!", she said pushing them towards his face.
"Where did those even come from?!"
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Linebreak 3
'SLAM'
"You", Vanoss said accusingly standing in the doorway. Ozpin and Eve had remained in the same spot when Vanoss had left. The coffee shop looked the same too. Vanoss quickly stomped over to Ozpin and started poking him in the chest. "WHY *poke* DID YOU *poke* HAVE ME *poke* STOP A ROBBERY *poke* THAT WASN'T HAPPENING *poke poke*?" Vanoss' finger remained in place as he peered at the man through his mask.
"Evan", Eve but in again.
"Goddammit Eve!"
"Your name is Evan?", Ruby said in the doorway.
"FUCK!", Vanoss shouted.
"Evan he was gonna take you into the school anyway"
"Then why?", he asked Ozpin.
"Why what?"
"Why the hell would you come here at almost four in the morning?! And why would you have me think she was robbing some place?"
"I would also like to know", Ruby pitched in.
Ozpin sipped on his coffee once again. Nothing seemed to phase this guy. "Ruby had been a crucial part of your investigation. She was the one who caught you running down the street as various random objects."
"It's such a cool semblance- EEP!"
Vanoss lowered his crossbow as Ruby exited the shop in the same manner as last time. "That's getting really annoying Vanoss!", she shouted from outside. "But why so early?", Vanoss asked rather tired. At this point everything seemed ridiculous.
"Ambition. Also I had Ms. Rose in place at the dust shop for an assignment."
"I was supposed to drop off this package for someone at the dust shop. He had me do this at this particular time of night so I thought it must have been really important", Ruby explained. She put a box on the counter in front of Eve.
"Where do these things keep coming from?", Vanoss asked. This girl managed to pull new things from out of nowhere.
"Ahem", Ozpin cleared his throat. "Mr. Vanoss, you have shown great ambition in taking it upon yourself to make a difference as a huntsman. You may have been neglected of a long deserved spot as a huntsman in training, and I am prepared to offer you that very opportunity. Of course there will need to be some changes", he said tossing Vanoss something. Vanoss caught it in his hands and turned it over. In his hands was an owl mask. It was smaller and more cartoonish in appearance, but Vanoss liked it.
He took off his mask and compared the two. "And if I refuse?", Evan asked. Suddenly a picture flashed from Ruby holding up her scroll. She had just taken a picture of him with his mask off. "Goddammit."
"Then you lose your anonymity and probably draw attention from local law enforcement fro being a vigilante. And I don't think you want to pass this opportunity anyway."
"What's in the box?", Evan asked.
"Go ahead and open it", he replied. Evan walked over to the box and slowly opened it. A light slowly came from within the box and Evan gasped in… confusion. "A flashlight?", Evan asked looking up at Ozpin. He was about just as confused as Evan was.
"I put it in for dramatic affect", Ruby said in the background. Evan tossed the flashlight nowhere important. He heard something fall over. "Hey!", Eve shouted.
Evan slowly pulled out a black outfit. He gasped at the symbol is the middle. The outfit had yellow trims and outlined the symbol boldly. It was what appeared to be an owl's head. "What do I have to do?", he asked.
Ozpin smirked. "I have three conditions. One, you will attend my school as a first year student. You will obviously have to leave and relocate in a school dorm. You can keep your job of course as long as it doesn't conflict with your time at Beacon. You must also renounce your title as an anonymous hero. You will be attending my school as a student. Not a superhero.", he explained.
Evan looked at Eve, then to Ruby, who gave him a thumbs up, then back to Ozpin. "Okay. What's the last one?", he asked suspiciously.
"You will join three others at the school and join them as a team."
"What others?", he asked.
Ozpin smirked mischievously. "I have a few candidates in mind. They seem right up you alley", he said convincingly. Evan looked everything over. "How long do I have to decide?", Evan asked seriously.
"Hmm", Ozpin hummed to himself. "Well, it's about four o'clock now. How about an hour?", he asked stroking his chin.
"What?! Why just an hour?"
"Because the next bullhead leaves at dawn, and you'll need about that much time to prepare to leave", he said walking toward the door. "Ms. Rose and I will be waiting at the bullhead docks. If you should need to leave in a rush, I advise you try on your new attire. It is specially designed to help with flight", and with that he walked out. Ruby shifted uncomfortably. She felt embarrassed.
"Sorry about the weird introduction. He tends to do weird things to test people", she explained. "Best of luck, Bye!", and with that she left as well.
The door closed with a 'ring' as the tiny bell tolled. Evan looked to his friend across the counter. "What the hell was that?", he just asked. It was as if he couldn't believe what just happened. Eve was resting her head in her hand. "It was your dream coming true", she said tiredly.
"Well what do you think? This is nuts! One moment I'm sleeping and the next I'm attacking a girl in a store down the street who had a package for me to go to beacon with!", he said flailing his arms in expression. "This is nuts!"
"I know. He woke me up too. And it doesn't matter what I think. Are you going or not?", she said tiredly. Vanoss clearly didn't project his seriousness enough. He calmed down a little bit. She was too tired to care. It was apparent from her clothes. She just threw on a plain white t-shirt and her black pajama pants. She just wanted to go back to sleep. She had to run the shop in the morning. Good thing there was a lot of coffee.
Vanoss looked at her with an odd look. It was a cross between disappointment and something else. "Well I'm not gonna be around anymore", he said.
"So?"
If Evan could have face palmed he would have. He could never tell when she was serious or not. "Hey", he said throwing his stuff in the box. "You're my best friend. You were there when i need you. I don't just wanna leave friends behind", he said rubbing the back of his head.
"That's alright. I have a plan for that. You owe me twice remember?", she said grinning.
"What?", Evan blinked. She grabbed his old mask and pulled it to her side of the counter. "For the first one, I'm keeping your old mask", she said putting it under the counter. "For the second", she said looking back up to him, "You have to come visit me."
"How often?", he asked.
"At least once every week", she grinned again.
"But what if I have a week long mission or something?", he challenged.
"Then you see me twice then next week. And so on for everyone you miss. Got it?"
"Yeah yeah alright. I can do that", he said.
"And Evan?"
"Yeah?", he said grabbing his bow heading to the door in the back. HE was gonna head upstairs to pack.
"Go make some friends", she added.
"Alright!", he shouted going upstairs.
"Idiot", she said to herself. She picked up the old mask again. It was gonna be a little more boring without that goof around. She could see herself in the reflection of the masks eyes. Her straight brown hair fell down her back. She knew she liked Evan. Evan was just too much of… whatever Evan was to see it. She sighed to herself. She grabbed the mask and headed upstairs to the room below Evan's. She was going back to bed.
"But you're my idiot."
Fourth linebreak. No emoji this time.
I don't know how to do linebreaks
Evan grabbed to box under his bed and started filling it with all sorts of crap. Clothes, his weapon, ammo, hygiene stuff, just the immediate stuff he needed. He looked at the box with the new mask and outfit in it. He picked up the box. It was surprisingly light. He quickly took it out and put it on. It was some kind of material clearly meant for him to fight in. He had no problem fitting his wings through. It was better than his red jacket for sure, but he was gonna keep it anyway. He threw it in the box.
He flipped the box shut, and put his scroll in his pocket. He grabbed his key off the drawer and head downstairs. He stopped in front of Eve's door and slid the key under. He wasn't gonna need it. With that he headed back up to his room, grabbed the box, threw it on the roof and hopped out the window and closed it from the outside. He put his new mask on and grabbed the box. He looked down nervously. Up till now he couldn't fly. He could fall though.
He looked back at the place. He was leaving the the attic in the small coffee shop. His life was finally changing. Taking a few deep breaths and tried to psych himself. Gripping the box tighter he gave a warcry and charged off the roof. He spread his wings and was surprised when the wind caught his wings and he started gliding. "Hhah! This is awesome!", he shouted slowly turning around the buildings. But he didn't know how to land.
"Oh shit."
Linebreak
"Do you think he's actually going to show up professor Ozpin?", Ruby asked tiredly. "I mean we just kinda put him on the spot", she said waiting for the. She had pretty much been awake for the entire night so she tried to keep herself awake by talking. The fact they had walked all the way here didn't help.
"Without a doubt. He should be arriving right about-"
"Catch me catch me catch me!", They heard Vanoss shouting as he crashed into the side of a bus. 'THUNK'
Vanoss walked around the other side of the bus to meet two. He stumbled toward them. "You didn't catch me!", he shouted. Ruby didn't even bother. She was laughing to hard.
"Now", Ozpin finished.
"Ugh. I gotta work on the landing" Vanoss muttered to himself.
"Alright Mr. Vanoss, are you ready to meet your team?", he asked dismissing the slamming into a bus.
"What? My team? There's no one here", he said confused. Suddenly there was a hiss that sounded the opening of the bus doors.
"Oh god man, that was one hell of a fuckin ride"
"I know it was so long. And why the- why the hell did it need to pick us up so early? Like I gotta get some sleep man! I'm gonna- uh- I'm gonna go crazy! I'm already going crazy! Look at my face! Does this look like the face of a sane man to you?!"
"We can't see your fuckin face delirious you're wearing a goddamn mask", a deeper voice said.
"Exactly!", the one named Delirious said.
"Oh my god would you two idiots shut the hell up it's like five o'clock in the morning! I don't wanna lose my shit before we get to Beacon", the first one said again.
"Oh my god I know all of you guys!", Ruby perked up.
"You're-"
'TINK'
"EEP! Oh come on Vanoss! I'm allowed to be a fan!", Ruby shouted now further away. Vanoss knew he was gonna need that at some point. He unpacked his crossbow so fast nobody even noticed until he used it.
"Can we not have that girl yelling please?", the first one asked.
"AHEM!", Ozpin loudly cleared his throat. "Everyone, meet your new teammates for the next four years. Vanoss, meet the other masked vigilantes of Vale."
"Hey I'm not wearing a mask!", the taller one said in a deep voice.
"Of course", Ozpin said. "I assume the rest of you were acquainted on the bus?", Ozpin asked.
"Yup"
"Uh-huh."
"Yeah."
"Excellent", Ozpin said. "Well then, Vanoss meet your new teammates-"
"I Am Wildcat, Diathi De Nogla, and H2O Dilirious!", Ruby shouted.
"Can you please be quiet, seriously you have no idea how loud you really are!", Wildcat said.
"Thats enough!", Ozpin said. "Okay, now that introductions are out of the way, I have your first assignment", he said slowly.
"Wait what? Hold on how come I didn't get to ride on a bus that looks like a banana?", Vanoss asked. Delirious laughed. "Yeah, it does look like a giant banana", he said.
"Yup, one giant green and yellow banana!", Wildcat said lugging his bag off the bus.
"Yeah, it's like it should have it's own theme song", Nogla said.
They all stopped and looked at each other. "Man did anyone get a weird feeling of deja vu?", Vanoss asked.
"Yeah it's weird. It's like I have this song i my head, but I don't feel like we're in the right place", Nogla said.
Vanoss inhaled sharply and was about to yell, "D-"
"Enough!", Ozpin shouted. "Your first assignment is to be quiet until we reach the bullhead back to Beacon! Am I understood?"
"Yeah okay", they all said. "Good. Now I'm going to need all of you to take off your masks for security reasons", he stated. Everyone took off their masks, except for nogla who for some reason was wearing a microphone. But he still took it off anyway.
"Delirious?", Ruby asked. "Why are you wearing clown makeup?"
Everyone looked at Delirious "Don't ask", he said smiling. "Okay, let's go to the docking station", Ruby said. Ozpin had already started walking. The rest followed Ruby as they didn't know where to go. This was gonna be a long ride.
30 minutes into the bullhead ride
"So Nogla what does your weapon do?", Delirious asked. "The thing is freaking massive", he added.
"Oh well it's a mobile mortar and also a giant club", he explained hefting on his shoulder.
"How can you even lift that thing? It looks heavier than you are!", delirious said.
"Yeah, and isn't a mobile mortar just a rocket launcher?", Wildcat asked.
"No no no! It's totally different. Rocket launchers are propelled ammunition. A mortar just fires things like bombs, and grenades, and potatoes."
Wildcat burst out laughing. "Haha! Fucking potatoes?!", he asked laughing.
"Well sometimes I gotta use stuff besides explosives! Well if you think it's so funny what's your weapon do HUH?!", he said shouting.
"Mine's a greataxe and a rocket launcher dude. Way more practical than fucking potatoes", he countered. "How are you two even able to lift those things anyway? I mean Nogla is pretty uh- pretty uh tall and all, but Wildcat that's gotta be heavy", Delirious said.
"You know how I can lift this ?", he asked Delirious.
"What, how?"
"Knowledge", he sarcastically said. "I lift all my rocket launchers with the power of Knowledge!", he said triumphantly. Vanoss and the others started laughing. "Where was that from? I feel like I've heard that from somewhere", Vanoss said.
"I actually have no idea but i think I've heard that from somewhere too", Wildcat explained.
"Huh. Okay Delirious what's your weapon do?", Vanoss asked.
"Uh well uh-uh it's a uh shotgun, and a machete!", he stuttered out. "Oh cool now see now that seems like a practical weapon", Vanoss said.
"Yes! It's so practical that they'll never see it coming!", Delirious said. Then Delirious randomly started laughing maniacally. He stopped when he realized everyone was looking at him.
"Uh-uhm. So uhhhhh Vanoss what's your weapon do?", he said breaking the tension.
"It's a high impact/velocity compound crossbow that can change into a crowbar", he said casually.
"OOh fancy words for his weapon! You're a nerd", Wildcat joked.
"I'm not a nerd, I'm just a mechanic. I know engineering!", Vanoss said.
"Huh you know, I just realized that none of our weapons use regular bullets", Nogla said.
"Oh yeah. That's gonna get expensive. But I rely on a balance of a both of my weapons and my semblance", Vanoss explained.
"Oh yeah! What do our semblances even do?!", Delirious shouted.
"You guys should keep it down. It's still early in the morning you know", Ruby reminded them.
"Oh okay", Delirious said to her. "Well uh, mine can do this thing, where I can turn into a bunch of other people around me, then they kinda have to guess who I am", Delirious explained.
"That has got to be the weirdest semblance I have ever heard of", Nogla said.
"But it so useful! Especially if I'm in a tight situation", He said. "Okay Wildcat what does yours do?"
"Ugh. Well I can self destruct", he said.
Vanoss started laughing. "AHahahah! What?! How does that work?", he asked between fits of laughter.
"Well I turn into a bunch of different people really fast, then I grow in size and rapid colors, and then I explode."
"God that sounds weird.", Vanoss added.
"Yeah I can only do it once. Maybe twice if I'm lucky. My aura takes a huge hit every time I do it", Wildcat finished.
"Well my semblance lets me change my size", Nogla said.
"So you can become a giant if you wanted?", Vanoss asked.
"Well sort of. I can also shrink down into a small size. The problem is it's kinda hard to control when I try to use it."
"Well I guess that leaves mine", Vanoss said. "I can turn into anything that i touched last."
"Oh that's cool. Can you turn into a wall?", Wildcat asked.
"Not exactly. I mean I probably could, but the larger the object, the harder it is to move. If I get to become something too big, I'm pretty much stuck there until I stop being it. Or unless I grab something else close by", he explained.
"I swear to god it's like our semblances have nothing to do with actual combat", Delirious said.
"Yeah he's right. None of these have anything to actually do with fighting", Nogla added.
"Yeah I swear to god we are gonna be the weirdest bunch of fuckin people that are at Beacon", Wildcat said.
"No we're gonna be awesome. It's gonna be totally awesome I swear!", Vanoss said.
"Oh yeah? I bet you our position as team leader that we are gonna be the weirdest bunch there", Wildcat wagered.
"What, but what if someone else end up team leader?", Delirious asked.
"Okay well if I become team leader and we're not the most awkward group of students available, then I will give my spot, if it happens to be me, to Vanoss", he said. "And if we're not totally awesome then Vanoss resigns that spot to me if it's him. Deal?", He asked Vanoss.
"Deal mothafucka!", he said shaking on the bet. "So how do we become team leader anyway?", Vanoss asked the group.
"I will be arranging the process of who becomes team leader", Ozpin said stepping in. "But if you are to keep your wager after the initial selection, I will respect it. That is, if your team allows it", he stated.
The four looked at each other and awkwardly agreed.
"Uhuh"
"Ya"
"Sure"
"Why not"
"Good", Ozpin replied. "Then you will all be competing for the spot of team leader today", he said sipping his coffee. He never seems to be out of coffee.
"What?! Today?! How are we supposed to do anything today?! We barely got any sleep!", Delirious shouted.
"Then I suggest that you give it your all. You wouldn't want to disappoint your fans now would you?", Ozpin said.
"We're here!", Ruby shouted over to them. The bullhead slowly descended onto the boardwalk of the school. They approached the door of the ship as it slowly opened. The mechanical whirring sounded with the platform door lowering onto the ground. They all stepped forward and walked out of the ship when Delirious decided to shout "Hello Beacon!"
"Delirious who are you talking to there's no one here", Vanoss asked him.
"Wha-UH-Well-uh I was uhhhh talking to the school obviously", he said trying not to look like an idiot.
"Leave it to the nuts guy to talk to a fucking building", Wildcat said. The rest of the team laughed except Delirious.
"Hey shut up! This school is a-a-a lady, and she needs to be treated with respect!"
The rest of the team laughed even harder as Delirious dug himself a grave with his stupid quote. Vanoss nearly fell over. "Alright that's enough", Ozpin said. "You will all report to your rooms, or room I suppose and deliver your belongings there. Afterward, will show you to the combat training arena. Prepare your gear", he finished.
"What? Professor Ozpin I still haven't gotten any sleep today", Ruby protested.
"And neither will they. But fret not Ms. Rose, upon completion of your assignment, I am allowing you the rest of the day off", He said.
"But it's SUNDAY!"
"No excuses Ms. Rose", he said as he walked off. He stopped to turn around. "You should arrive prepared for combat no later than nine o'clock. You can unpack, get some breakfast and have show you all where to go after. That should be plenty of time. Ms. Rose?"
"Yes?", she asked.
"Make sure there will be no sleeping. Not even for a second!", he said before he kept walking.
Ruby flopped over anime style. The team laughed at her misfortune, then Vanoss helped her up. "Come on, we've got like a little more than hours. We can make do in the meantime", he reassured her.
"How?"
The team all looked at each other. "I got an idea", Vanoss said. "Does the cafeteria have oranges?", he asked Ruby.
Ruby had no idea what was about to happen.
Suddenly everyone's scroll went off. Ruby was the first to take hers out. "Attention all students, there will be a special event in combat class at 9 AM. There will be special guests performing in a free for all event", she read out loud. She looked up from her scroll to the guys. "Uh-Oh."
7:30
An hour and a half before the match
"Ruby there you are!", Weiss shouted. The rest of her team followed suite.
"Ruby where have you been? We know you were picked for a special assignment but you could have came back to the room", Blake said.
"Yeah we were… What's going on here?", Yang asked.
"I should have never showed them our school had oranges…", Ruby said.
"How does our school even have that many oranges?", Weiss asked.
"It didn't. It just… didn't. I don't know where they got the rest", Ruby said as if she was traumatized. "I am in so much trouble", Ruby almost started crying.
"What why would you be in trouble? You didn't do this right?", Yang asked.
"Ozpin told me to watch them", Ruby replied. Her sister winced at the explanation.
"Maybe we can convince them it's not what it looks like. It's a… giant dolphin on wheels?", Yang suggested.
"An upside down letter T?", Blake suggested.
"A lighthouse with two houses?", Weiss suggested.
Team RWBY's faces were currently red. It was a good thing they were the only ones out here or someone might think-
"What they hell is that?!", Ms. Goodwitch shouted. She stormed out of the main entrance clearly furious. "Team RWBY! Do you have any explanation for this? Do you realize how this could make this entire school look?! I demand you take this down at once!", she shouted.
"But Ms. Goodwitch it wasn't us! It was the new students!"
"What new students?!"
"Up here!", someone shouted. They all turned their attention to the four young men sitting atop the giant dick made of oranges. "Hi! Are you one of the teachers?! NIce to meet you! We're team….. We don't have a team name yet! But the feeling is the same!", he shouted again.
"How did they even get up there?", Blake asked.
"One of them can fly. Another one just grew really big and put them up there", Ruby said defeatedly. "Get down from there immediately!", Ms. Goodwitch shouted.
"And how would you like us to do that?!", one of them shouted back. Suddenly one of them lost their balance.
"WHa-WHoah-AHH", Nogla shouted. "I gotcha", Vanoss shouted catching his legs… before he started falling as well. Then Wildcat caught his legs, then Delirious his, until finally Delirious stabbed his machete into the 'head' of the giant orange dick. "Hold on don't let go!", Wildcat shouted. "Why the HELL would I let go?!", Delirious shouted hanging onto one of Wildcats legs.
"Guys, I have an idea! Maybe I flap my wings enough to swing us back up!". Vanoss shouted.
"Absolutely not!", Glynda shouted again.
"Oh I'm sorry do you have any bright ideas?!", Nogla shouted. Glynda pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. "Maybe I can spawn a bunch of people and they could make a human latter big enough to help us!", Delirious shouted.
"Give it a try!", Wildcat said.
"Okay!"
"How long did it take them to build this?", Yang asked.
"An hour and a half", Ruby said.
"What?! An hour and a half? And you couldn't stop them in that amount of time?!", Weiss shouted.
"No there was too many of them!", Ruby shouted.
"There's only four guys!", Weiss shouted again.
DING
"THERE'S LIKE THIRTY PEOPLE HERE!", Yang shouted amongst the crowd of people.
"That's why!", Ruby shouted at Weiss. The copies of the four boys started to form a pyramid, until the copies kept falling over.
"Your copies suck Delirious!", Wildcat shouted.
"I'm sorry Wildcat! I'm nervous! They're just as nervous us!", He shouted back.
"Nogla can you climb back up me?", he asked.
"Maybe why?"
"See if you can grab my crowbar, and then see if you can climb back up to the top!"
"Okay Vanoss I'll try!"
"Hurry the hell up Delirious is hanging on by one arm!", Wildcat shouted.
"I'm using my aura to hold on!", he shouted back.
Team RWBY managed to regroup. "Wait, Vanoss, Delirious, Nogla and Wildcat? Are they the-"
"Yup", Ruby cut Blake off. "The guys trying to be superheroes. Yup. Those guys", Ruby finished.
"Wow. But still an hour and a half? That's pretty impressive this things like thirty feet tall!", Yang said looking it over. For whatever reason she decided to kick it at the base.
"AHHHH", the four shouted hanging on for dear life. The top half of the structure suddenly crumbled and began to slide off at a diagonal angle.
"AHHHH", they all shouted falling. The copies all suddenly disappeared. Weiss prepared a glyph at the bottom to catch them. Glynda used her semblance to catch them beforehand however about fifteen feet off the ground. They all stopped screaming. "We're saved!" Delirious shouted. Apparently Weiss thought so too and stopped the glyph. Unfortunately the oranges fell with them and Glynda was unable to stop that many objects.
"AHHHH" the all shouted again. Fortunately there were enough oranges already at the bottom and they fell down slowly until they were washed to the ground and rolled on top of eachother.
"Oh god OW!"
"It hurts so bad!"
"Watch the wings!"
"MAH LAYG!"
They all shouted in pain.
"Oh my god are you guys okay?! Ozpin is gonna kill me!", Ruby said rushing over along with her team. They all stopped their cries of agony.
"Oh yeah we're totally fine", Vanoss casually said. The team awkwardly laughed until they just started rolling around in the oranges. Team RWBY was standing there just watching the four of them. They had never seen a more funny group of individuals in their life. So of course they started laughing as well. It was getting ridiculous at this point. Team Rwby could no longer stand and Wildcat almost threw up.
"Make it stop it hurts so bad!", Nogla shouted in between gasps of laughter.
"This isn't funny!", Glynda yelled sternly. They didn't stop. "I'm serious! You all could have gotten very hur-"
*RUMBLE*
They all stopped laughing as the rest of the oranges above them shook. "Oh crap! Everyone run!", Vanoss shouted. Unfortunately the four boys couldn't manage to escape the pile of oranges and were caught in the tangling of legs and stumbling over one another. The rest of the tower didn't fall like the rest had. It was straight up just tilting over!
"Oh no! Uh-uh Weiss! Create a barrier glyph!", Ruby shouted. Weiss did as instructed and formed a huge glyph leaning over the four. It started to tilt along with the mass of oranges pushing it down. The glyph then started to flicker.
"I can't hold it!", Weis shouted straining her focus. Yang rushed forward making her way through the oranges. She firmly placed both hands on the center of the glyph and tried to hold it up. "Blake! Pull them out of there!", Yang shouted to her partner. Blake made her way to their aid eventually pulling them out, but they just kept tripping over more oranges. Ruby was beginning to panic. If any one of them faltered at this point they would be crushed by the oranges.
Oh my god what can I do what can I do! I haven't dealt with this much food since-
Then an idea clicked in Ruby's head.
"Guys I can move the oranges but I still need some help! Is there anything you guys can do?", Ruby shouted. The guys didn't have a plan. They just planned on improvising. They weren't even a team.
"Delirious!", Vanoss shouted.
"What?"
"Spawn a bunch of clones to help pull everyone out!"
"Okay!", he shouted back to Vanoss.
'DING'
A bunch of clones started to help get rid of the oranges. Blake finally managed to pull them out. She groaned as she literally dragged them out. She breathed heavily. As stupid as it may seem, it was hard to pull them out of the oranges. But the tower of oranges was still leaning over them.
"Hurry!" Yang shouted her hair ablaze. "Seriously!", Weiss added. Vanoss ran over to Ruby. Delirious sent his copies to help keep the glyph up with Yang. "What do you need help with?", he asked hastily.
"I can redirect the oranges! I just need them to disperse and i need to get somewhere up high. Did you grab anything really big recently?", she asked.
"I grabbed onto oranges!"
"That's not gonna help!"
"Wait, I can get you up high! Quick! Throw me in the air!", he shouted.
POP
He turned into an orange and fell into Ruby's hands. Ruby didn't understand. But she trusted him. She threw him into the air and he popped back into himself and managed to hover in the air with his wings.
"Okay can you jump up here?" he asked from above.
"No, not on my own!", she shouted up at him.
"Wildcat prepare to give Ruby a boost!", Vanoss shouted over.
"Okay!", Wildcat came over and brought down his weapon in rocket launcher form, and stuck the end of it straight into the ground. Blake grappled onto a wall, then jumped over the mound of oranges. In mid air she threw gamble shroud and managed to grapple onto Weiss' glyph. When she landed on the other side, she tightened her weapons band and pulled on the opposite side trying to hold up the glyph as well. Weiss was now on her knees trying to keep the barrier from failing.
Wildcat looked over to Ruby. "Whenever you're ready", he said. He was gonna explode her into the air. "Okay, I just need a running start", she said. Wildcat nodded and repositioned himself to angle toward vanoss. Ruby ran back into the building. She looked down into the shot she was going to have to run through. They had a small window. But she trusted Vanoss. She surged her aura, and let her semblance build within her. The air around her tensed.
"Vanoss what can I do?", Nogla shouted over to Vanoss.
"I need you to anchor your mortar!"
"Okay!"
Nogla collapsed the giant club down to size until a mortar about two and a half feet tall was mounted on the ground in front of the giant tower of oranges slowly coming down. Yang's semblance wasn't active because she wasn't taking damage so she was running on sheer aura and her own strength. She was fading and her hair was showing it.
"Okay now what?", Nogla asked.
"Grab that girl and get her out of there!", Vanoss shouted again. There was a lot of shouting going on. Nogla rushed over and asked "Is it okay if I throw you?"
"Yes! If you're gonna do it make it fast!", Yang said. So he literally just picked her up and threw her away from the falling tower of oranges. She rolled along the ground and recovered right next to Nogla's mortar. He ran back to it and shouted over to Vanoss, "Now what?"
"I need you to blow up a hole straight through the middle of the tower!"
"What?! But the thing is in the way", He yelled.
"Just do it. I can't hold on much longer anyway", Weiss said.
"More copies delirious!", Vanoss yelled.
"Okay! HAAA!", Delirious yelled. He put both hands on the sides of his head and concentrated his aura. Row after row of Delirious appeared and went to take Yang's place.
"Okay Nogla now blow it up!", Vanoss yelled.
"FIRE IN THE HOOOOOOLE!", He yelled at the top of his lungs.
He fired a bomb straight into Weiss' glyph. The first one broke Weiss' glyph, and she screamed out as it finally shattered. There was a large circular crater in the oranges, but not all the way through. "AGAIN!", Nogla shouted as he fired another bomb straight into the receding tower. This time he clearly blew a hole straight through the other side, but the oranges were unstable now and the hole was collapsing quickly. "That's it I only had two bombs!", he yelled back.
Yang cocked her gauntlets and fired explosive rounds into the fray. She gave triumphant war cries as she fired off each one. Nogla loaded in his smaller grenades and fired along with her. Constant screaming was being heard from everyone. It was like the monster mass of oranges was alive and was fighting against them. Blake had lost the tension of her grip and fell backward. The mouth of the oranges was returning it's fall towards them. It was a giant monster was trying to swallow them whole.
The air around Ruby shifted intensely as she exerted pressure. She opened her eyes and yelled over to Wildcat. "I'm ready!"
"Go for it!" he yelled back. Ruby took off with a boom. She was closing the gap between them faster than Wildcat could even begin to perceive. He kept his finger on the launch finger steady. "This is gonna SUCK!"
BOOM
She was launched into the air and smacked into Vanoss at crazy speed. She hung on for dear life and Vanoss spread his wings as far a they can. He was flying at the oranges at incredible speed as a red trail was left behind his wake. "HAAAAAA", he screamed as he and Ruby kept shooting forward in a blur. But they were slowing down at a considerable rate. Wildcat had flown back a lot further than he expected. He lifted his head up to see the oranges about to swallow him whole.
"I'm out of ammo!", Yang yelled. Weiss was too faint to be useful. The copies of Delirious were being consumed already, Blake was too far behind it to do anything. "They're never gonna make it!", Nogla shouted also out of of ammo. Wildcat could see the gap closing. "Ah fuck it!", he said. He loaded another rocket it and blasted himself even faster into the mess. He clung onto his rocket launcher like it was a firework headed straight for the sky. He was considerably farther ahead than Vanoss and the other chick. So this was his only shot.
Like a soldier facing certain imminent death, he rode his rocket launcher into the storm and gave a single war cry, challenging the mass of citrus fruit.
*Inhales*..."SUDOKUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Like a light that came from heaven a struck straight down to earth, a flash of light that shattered the visible color spectrum broke and blew the oranges into a mushroom cloud firework of fruit like you've never seen. Vanoss closed his eyes to shield him from the light. He's still screaming form folded his wings as he gripped onto Ruby. Suddenly they spun into a massive spear of red and gold and accelerated through.
"AHHHHHHHHHH-", Vanoss never stopped screaming the entire time. They flew straight through storm with a 'FWOOSH' and the oranges followed them as the wind shifted so hard it funneled around them. Almost the entire orange monstrosity came with them in a raining orange stream. The oranges suddenly fell from the air as a comedic rain that seemed to mock all of their. Oranges kept raining around them as Vanoss and Ruby kept ascending. The golden, red blur kept ascending until it could ascend no more. Then, they dived out of the sky. They fell faster and faster until they fell below the horizon, and below Beacon's landing port.
The orange rain suddenly stopped. And they didn't come back up. "Ruby!", Yang ran as fast as she could to the edge. She couldn't see them anymore. "I can't see them!", she shouted standing over the edge. "Oh shit! Vanoss!", Delirious shouted as her ran up next to her. "Beacon is only air accessible! And Vanoss couldn't fly!", he told her. Yang only screamed louder. "Ruby!"
Silence only came after. The rest of their teams came and followed suite. Yang fell to her knees and covered her mouth. She held her breath. She wouldn't believe it. She refused to believe it.
"...aaaaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHH", the yelling got louder.
"Where are they?! I can't see them!" Yang shouted looking around frantically. "Uh don't look dow-"
'VWOOSH'
They shot up in a gust of wind so fast Yang's hair stood straight up and Delirious's mask fell off.
"AHHHHHHH-"
"HOLY SHIIIIII-"
"Holy shit!", Delirious said.
"Oh thank god!", Yang said looking up.
"He hasn't stopped screaming.", Nogla said.
"I know I can still hear it", Weiss confirmed. "Uhm, Guys?", Blake said uncertainly. "How are they getting down?", she finished.
"Oh no", Yang said.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIII-"
CRASH
Vanoss didn't get to finish what he started screaming. The ground beneath them broke and crunched and dust flew up into the air. The ground continued cracking until the dust settled. Everyone was too stunned to see if they were alive.
"Ughhhhh", they groaned simultaneously. When the dust cleared they could see Vanoss and Ruby clutching onto each other like they were gonna die if they let. Yang was the first to run over and pry her from his stiffed arms. "Get off of her you weirdo!", she said picking up her sister like a teddy bear. "Oh jeez I thought you were gonna fall straight off the side of beacon", she said to her also stiff sister. Her muscles were so tense that they actually remained in the position she was holding Vanoss in. "Yang put me down please", she said dizzy eyed.
"Ugghhh I'm not a wierdo She just told me not to let go of her", he moaned rolling onto his back. His left wing twitched in place as he was also dizzy eyed. "Oh god that hurt", he added.
The rest of his team rushed over and helped him to sit up. "He's telling the truth Yanf just please let me down", she said struggling to speak with Yang crushing her. "Oh", Yang said and dropped her.. She fell to the floor like a statue before popping back up like a new person. "I'm okay!", she said perking up in a cheery tone. The rest of her team gathered around her and made sure she was okay. Then they heard Vanoss moaning. "What's wrong with that guy?", Yang asked walking over. Delirious looked up at her kneeling next to his team mate. "Vanoss couldn't fly", he said shortly. "What? But he was hovering in the air while giving you guys direction's", Yang countered. "I know. That must've put a lot of stress on his wings", Delirious said again. Weiss joined the conversation. "He was airborne for a pretty long time", she said.
"Oh", Yang said. Yang picked up Vanoss in the same way she had picked up Ruby. "Thanks for saving my little sister!", she said hugging Vanoss heavily. Unfortunately he wasn't standing when she picked him up, so his head was resting right on top of her cleavage. Yang didn't seem to even care as she just laughed swinging him too and for. He was laughing as well but it was muffled in her boobs.
"Yang put him down", Blake said.
"Please? You're hurting my wings!", he said muffled.
"Oops! Sorry", she said dropping him. He slowly got to his feet and stretched cracking his back. "Ohh jeez that hurt!", he said.
"Vanoss, dude-dued that was amazing!" Delirious said now with his mask back on.
"Yeah you sure must have used a lot of aura if you held out that long", Yang said.
"But why wouldn't you try something else if you knew you couldn't fly?", Blake asked.
"I used to hide my wings from people before I came here. I never got to use them enough to actually strengthen them to fly", He explained. Blake nodded at Vanoss in understanding.
"It was a good plan though" Weiss said.
"Yeah man that was some quick thinkin there", Nogla pitched in.
"Yeah but it required a little improv from everyone", he said.
"Well that's what teams are for dude. They're here to help", Wildcat added.
"But hey you did a good job! And you didn't drop me! That must taken a lot of strength", Ruby complimented.
"I guess", Vanoss said humbly.
"Seriously man you did a good job", Delirious said patting him on the back.
"Hardly", Glynda said out of nowhere.
"Where the hell did you come from?!", Delirious shouted.
"I was standing here the entire time!", she got angry. "And just when i thought you could handle something as simple as some oranges, you go and put another student life in danger!"
"Hey, those oranges were putting us in danger", Ruby retorted.
"You could have just prepared a landing strategy and jumped down! On top of that you could have just knocked over the oranges and let them fall down!"
"Hey those oranges were heavy", said Yang.
"Yeah!" Delirious added.
"That's because you put all of their weight on one surface! You could have lifted the glyph and the oranges wouldn't have even given you any bruises!", she countered.
"You kids are in more trouble than you can possibly imag-"
"That's enough Glynda", Ozpin said appearing from almost nowhere.
"These students put each other at unnecessary risk and-"
"And prevented each other from getting hurt", Ozpin finished.
"But they wasted oranges using them to build a giant d-"
"GLYNDA", Ozpin cut her off. "That's enough. I know what they did. And they will have an appropriate punishment waiting for them later. They have an event to prepare for after all", he said.
Glynda looked like she was honestly blown away. "I hardly think having them fight each other is a good idea", she said.
"Well perhaps having them fight each other after exhausting their energy after hours without sleep will be a suffice punishment", he said calmly.
"That seems dangerous", Glynda countered.
"I have to agree. I would know. I'm in the same bucket as those guys. If they're feeling at all like me, they're exhausted", Ruby said pointing to the new team.
"Hmm", Ozpin said sipping his coffee. "Perhaps I should have just let you sleep for a short bit", he said reconsidering. "How about your your mayth takes place at Twelve o'clock then?"
"One", Vanoss said.
"Twelve thirty"
"One", Wildcat said.
"Twelve forty five"
"One", Delirious said.
"Okay fine. One it is", Ozpin said.
"ONE THIRTY", Nogla shouted.
Everyone turned to look at him. "What? I wanna get some food!", he said.
"More people would show up for One", Ruby said.
"And they'd probably fight better if they had lunch first", Yang added.
"Yeah and people wouldn't be tempted to leave for lunch either", Weiss added.
"And they did exhaust their auras. The more time the have to recover the longer event could last", Blake said.
"Okay, alright fine. It seems I'm clearly outnumbered and outwitted on this decision. So One thirty it is. Not later, not negotiable. You had best be at the arena by then", he said with seriousness.
"Ozpin", Glynda started. "This seems like hardly enough of a punishment."
"They're kids Glynda", Ozpin continued walking towards the entrance. "And it's punishment enough. Now if you excuse me, I have to make some calls to explain why it will be raining oranges in this part of the city", he finished. Glynda looked to the kids with a stern look, then left back to the school entrance.
The guys turned to team RWBY. "Thanks for your help guys", Vanoss said. "Oh, no problem", Ruby said cheerily. "Oh! We haven't been all introduced. I'm Ruby of course, and that's-"
"Yang"
"Blake"
"Weiss", the other three said.
"Yeah, that", Ruby finished.
"Oh. Well I'm Vanoss-"
"We know your aliases", Yang cut off. "If were gonna be knowing each other as peers, then what's your real names?", she asked.
Vanoss took off his Owl mask. He pulled it over his head and quickly scratched his hair. "I'm Evan", he said nodding to the girls.
"I'm Johnathan", Delirious said taking off his mask. He could tell they were staring at his make up. Blake was about to ask "Why do you look like a-"
"Don't ask", Ruby said.
"I'm David, but most people just call me Daithi or Nogla", Nogla said.
"And I'm Tyler", Wildcat said removing his mask and helmet. This revealed his pig ears.
"Wait, why are you called Wildcat if you're a Pig fanaus?", Yang asked.
"I have no Idea", he said. The groups all laughed and took their things inside.
"So why were you outside building a giant d-"
"Giant Orange Dick?", Wildcat said cutting off Yang. "Why don't you ask Evan?", Wildcat blamed.
"Hey I just tried to suggest we play some dodgeball! Delirious was the one who wanted to build a giant dick.", Vanoss replied.
"Hahahahaha, oh come on you gotta admit it was pretty funny!"
"Yeah, it was pretty funny", Nogla concurred. The new group of guys continued to talk about whatever it was they do.
"Boys will be boys", Blake muttered. Yang just elbowed her sister in the side. "Oh cut it out Yang I already know what one of those looked like", Ruby said.
"What!? When did this happe-"
'THUD'
Ruby passed out and fell over. "Jeez. How long were you guys up for?", Yang said picking her sister up.
'THUD'
The guys in front of them all fell over passed out. "Oh come on! We haven't even gotten to eat breakfast yet!", Yang shouted.
"There's gonna be a lack of orange juice for weeks", Blake realized aloud. Weiss and Yang looked back at Blake and just started laughing. After the laughing stopped they looked down and saw they weren't getting back up.
"I'll grab their stuff", Weiss sighed.
"I'll take Ruby and Vanoss", Yang said flinging him over her shoulder.
"I'll grab these two", Blake said dragging Nogla and Wildcat.
"What about Johnathan?", Weiss asked.
…
"I have an idea", Blake said.

Jaune didn't ask anything when he saw most of team RWBY bring a bunch of guys tied up with Blake's weapon. He didn't even ask why Yang was holding another guy and Ruby over her shoulder. He also didn't ask why they were all unconscious.
"Do we know where they're supposed to be going?", Weiss said picking up the rear with a couple boxes and two bags.
"Nope!", Yang shouted back to her.
"We can ask someone else later. For now let's just bring them back to the room. I'm hungry and don't want to miss breakfast", Blake said.
"Sounds good to me!", Yang said happily. Jaune watched them just casually just drag them down the hallway. "What was that about?", Ren asked behind him with the same jaw hanging expression. "Sometimes… I think it's better not to ask questions", he replied.
Okay, and that ends the short creative project I started. Seeing as though I only had one story, I was getting some bad vibes from writing the chapters, so I thought, why don't I make something absolutely 100% without the shadow of a doubt retarded :D
Everyone loves stupid stuff. And I figured who else would I love to see doing stupid stuff more than Vanoss and his friends? I know it's not an original idea, and it's been done before. But I wanted to do it anyway! And holy shit did I enjoy writing this! And that's what I want to look for while writing my stories. So hopefully this clears up some of the block that I was having with my other story, and if you happen to have read some of it, don't sweat it I'll be back onto it soon. I didn't just up and abandon it. So that's the story of how I wrote this story.
Why do something necessary when you could enjoy doing something completely unnecessary right? And that's why I'm also going to post this. I MIGHT continue this if persuaded. And honestly if you don't like it, go nuts. I appreciate all kinds of literary criticism. But other than that, it's late. I'm off my meds for today, and I'm going to sleep at 5:30 in the morning. And also if you haven't watched Vanoss or any of his ohter friends channels, the main four being the ones mentioned in the story, then what are you even doing. You're in the wrong place. Go watch there videos.
Now I also made a picture for this story's cover art. And I used Paint. *gasp* 'how did you survive?!'. Well I took the pictures from their channels, underwent some cropping and resizing, put their corresponding letters to their channels underneath their pictures in RWBY faunt, then proceed to undergo various editing software. So I think I'm good for copyright laws as far as fair use goes. I looked up a lot of rules and technicalities, and I'm pretty sure the processing I went through to make this Image puts that into the category of fair use. If not, someone please tell me otherwise and I will remove it, and replace them with different ones.
Alright guys. I think that's gonna be it from me. I'll see you guys later.
See ya :P
