Chapter 18: New Students
A/N: You and Ruby run into some new students. At least that's what they appear to be.
At Beacon, a group Bullheads were flying by as the students down below saw them. These group of Bullheads had the soldiers and men of General Ironwood inside. Ozpin was in his office with Glynda as they saw the ships fly around.
Glynda: Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels.
Ozpin: Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man. But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore.
Ozpin heard a chirping beep sound. He turned to see a hollow-message that said Access Requested on his desk.
Ozpin: Come in.
The doors in Ozpin's office opened up and showed ironwood. Ozpin approached him.
Ironwood: Ozpin!
Ozpin: Hello, General.
Ironwood: Please, drop the formalities.
They both approached and shook hands.
Ironwood: It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met.
Glynda: Oh, James!
She gave a personable wave and then just dropped all pleasantries.
Glynda: I'll be outside.
She walked outside.
Ironwood: Well, she hasn't changed a bit.
Ozpin turned to his desk.
Ozpin: So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas?
He asked while picking up a mug and a kettle and pouring coffee inside.
Ozpin: Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival.
Ironwood: Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year.
Ironwood pulled out a canteen from his inside coat pocket and poured it' contents into his mug that was given to him by Ozpin.
Ironwood: Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up. Plus, after hearing the progress that's been going on with the new Arcosian currently here, I'd thought it would be interesting to see this (Y/N) for myself.
Ozpin: Believe me, I know you wouldn't miss the chance to see another Arcosian again.
Ozpin said as he poured coffee into his mug.
Ozpin: And I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned.
Ironwood: Well, concerned is what brought them here.
Ozpin: I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult.
Ironwood: Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men.
Ozpin: We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression.
Ironwood: But if what Qrow said is true...
Ozpin: If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully.
He emphasized while holding up an index finger.
Ozpin: It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So, I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent.
Ironwood: I'm just being cautious.
Ozpin: As am I. Which is why we will continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can.
Ironwood: Believe me, I am.
Ironwood turned and walked away but soon stopped near the door and looked back at Ozpin.
Ironwood: But ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe your children can win a war .......even with (Y/N)?
He exited the room.
Ozpin: I hope they never have to.
(Meanwhile).
While team RWBY was in the library, You were outside of the academy, training on your own. You were throwing many fast punches and kicks. Each one faster each time you progressed. You were using a training dummy you were given before leaving to Remnant for training uses. And it was a very hard dummy. So, a few punches and kicks wouldn't break it so easily unless they were more stronger hits.
(Y/N): Hm.........
Despite the progress you've made while training, there was something that was bothering you. It was after you had made Frost crash into Roman during the battle at the docks.
(Y/N): I just don't understand. They both spoke as if they both knew each other.
Questions went through your mind.
(Y/N): Could it really be possible that Frost..........
You quickly brushed it off.
(Y/N): Nah. Knowing Frost, he would never align himself with someone like Roman. Much less any humans.
You said as you threw another punch on the dummy and it made a small tear. You took notice in this.
(Y/N): Oh? Looks like I'm actually starting to do a little bit of damage on this thing.
You soon popped your neck before sighing.
(Y/N): I think I'll stop with the training for now.
You said before picking up the dummy and carrying it over shoulder as you started walking inside and heading to the library where the others were. Once you arrived, you could hear the girls pretty clearly.
Ruby: Have you no heart?
Ruby collapsed on the table and groaned.
Ruby: Nooo!
Yang: Well, Weiss, it's your turn.
Weiss: I have... absolutely no idea what's going on.
You walked over to we what they were doing and saw that they were playing a card game.
Yang: Look, it's easy! You're playing as Vacuo which means that all Vacuo-based cards come with a bonus.
Weiss: That sounds dumb.
Yang started looking through Weiss' cards.
Yang: See, you've got Sandstorm, Desert Scavenge... Oh, oh!
She pulled up a card to show Weiss.
Yang: Resourceful Raider! See, now you can take Ruby's discarded Air Fleet......
Ruby: Nooo!
Yang: ....and put it in your hand!
Weiss: Okay.
Yang: And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance against Natural-based hazards, you can use Sandstorm to disable my ground forces and simultaneously infiltrate my kingdom! Just know that I will not forget this declaration of war.
(Y/N): O_O
Weiss: And that means...
Ruby: You're just three moves away from conquering Remnant!
Weiss stood and gave an overjoyed psychotic laugh.
Weiss: Y...Yes! Fear the almighty power of my forces! Cower as they pillage your homes and weep as they take your children from your very arms!
Yang: Trap card...
Weiss: Huh?
Yang: Your armies have been destroyed.
Weiss slumped in her chair, cried and whined.
Weiss: I hate this game of emotions we play.
Ruby hopped into Weiss' lap.
Ruby: Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together!
Weiss: Shut up!
Ruby hugged Weiss.
Weiss: Don't touch me!
Yang: Alright Blake, you're up!
Blake: Oh, um, sorry, what am I doing?
Yang: You're playing as Vale, trying to conquer the Kingdoms of Remnant!
Blake: Right.
(Y/N): What is this game exactly?
Yang: it's called Remnant: The Game. The point of the game is to successfully acquire control over all the 4 kingdoms.
(Y/N): Oh, so it's kinda a sort of card and board game.
Yang: Exactly.
Ruby: Did they have card games on your planet?
(Y/N): Well me, as well as a few other planets had this one monster card game that came another planet. They called it Yugioh, if I remember correctly.
Yang: Sounds famous.
(Y/N): Yeah. But from what I've heard, it's only half as famous as this other one called Pokémon.
(Once again, no offense to any Yugioh fans).
Jaune approached the table.
Jaune: Hey! Can I play?
Ruby: Sorry Jaune, we've already got 4 people.
Weiss: Besides, this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt that you possess.
Yang: Uhh, you attacked your own naval fleet 2 turns ago.
Weiss: 🔥_🔥
Jaune: Bring it on, Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I have been told that I am a natural born leader!
Weiss: By who? Your mother?
Jaune: a.....and Pyrrha!
Pyrrha: Hello again!
Jaune: Come on, let me play your hand for a turn!
Weiss: I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo!
Jaune: Why not? You've trusted me with way more important stuff before. I mean, you told us all that Blake is secretly a Fa.....
(Y/N): No!!!
Pyrrha darted over and slapped a hand over Jaune's mouth.
Pyrrha: Fun-loving person, whom we all admire and respect.
Jaune laughed nervously.
Everyone looked nervously at Blake who looked obviously annoyed that her secret was out.
Jaune: Right. That. Ladies, enjoy your battle.
He bowed as Pyrrha walks away and sun walked in.
Sun: Sup losers.
Ruby: Hey Sun!
(Y/N)'s mind: Kan, I almost forgot about this guy. Boy, blonde hair and a tail. Frieza would've definitely mistook this guy for a saiyan.
Neptune came in as well.
Sun: Ruby, Yang, Blake ..Ice Queen.
Weiss: Why does everyone keep calling me that?
(Y/N): Do you really want to know the answer to that question?
Sun: I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend.
Neptune: Uhh, aren't libraries for reading?
Ren threw his arms up.
Ren: Thank you!
Nora: Pancakes!
Sun: Shut up. Don't be a nerd.
Neptune shook a finger at Sun.
Neptune: Geh, geh, geh, geh! Intellectual, okay? Thank you.
(Y/N): Jeez, this guy is sassy.
He turned and waved to everyone else.
Neptune: I'm Neptune.
Weiss: So Neptune, where are you from?
Neptune: Haven.
He Approached Weiss.
Neptune: And I don't believe I've caught your name, snow angel.
Weiss: Um, I'm Weiss. 😶
Jaune: Are you kidding me!?
Neptune: Pleasure to meet you.
(Y/N): Do I hear wedding bells?
Jaune: No!!!
(Y/N): Oh, well I best get to cleaning my ear holes then.
Ren: How does that work exactly?
(Y/N): You don't want to know.
Sun looked to Blake.
Sun: I never took you as the board game playing type.
Blake got up and Sun stood aside as she started to leave the room.
Blake: Right, well, I think I'm done playing actually. I'll see you guys later.
She was gone.
(Y/N): Definitely not good.
Nora: Women.
(TimeSkip).
It was night time. While everyone else was sleeping, Blake was still up while she was thinking about what went on at the docks.
(Flashback).
Blake: Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?
Roman: The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together.
Then the rest of the battle played out as before.
(TimeSkip).
Blake was soon having this again until Ozpin spoke.
Ozpin: Well, this has certainly been an eventful evening.
Blake: Hmph.
She was sitting in an interviewing office as Ozpin entered. Blake quietly acknowledged his statement.
Ozpin: I'm sure that after a night of thwarting attempted robbery, you probably just want to go home and take a nap. But I was hoping that maybe we could have a chance to talk.
Blake: Of course.
Ozpin: Wonderful. As you know, in order to enroll at my academy, students must first pass a rigorous entrance exam. Most applicants spend years of preparation training at one of the many combat schools around the world. You are one of the few that did not. And you passed the exam with flying colors.
Blake: I was raised outside the kingdoms. If you can't fight, you can't survive.
Ozpin: Well, you have most certainly survived, Blake. I admire your drive. And I am proud to run a school that accepts individuals from all walks of life. Rich, poor, Human...
He sipped his coffee.
Ozpin: Faunus...
Blake glared at him.
Ozpin: Why do you wear that bow, Blake? Why hide who you are?
Blake: You may be willing to accept the Faunus, Professor Ozpin, but your species is not.
Ozpin: True, but we are continuing to take strides to lessen the divide.
Blake: With all due respect, you need to start taking some larger strides. Until then, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention. I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am.
Ozpin: And what are you?
Blake: I don't understand what you're asking.
Ozpin: How did you know the White Fang would be at the shipyard tonight?
Blake: I didn't. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Ozpin: You wouldn't have been the first. But what happened tonight was not an isolated incident. I may be your headmaster, but I am also a Huntsman, and it is my sworn duty to protect this world from the forces that conspire against it. Blake, are you sure there is nothing else you would like to tell me?
Blake: I'm sure.
Ozpin: Very well. Thank you for your time, Ms. Belladonna.
Ozpin stood up and headed to the door. He soon stopped and turned to Blake.
Ozpin: If you ever need to talk to me. Please, don't hesitate to ask.
Ozpin shut the door behind him.
(End of Flashback).
You and the rest of Team RWBY entered the dorm.
Yang: Ugh, we should have never let him play!
Ruby: You're just mad cuz' the new guy beat you! See, if you had just attacked when I told you none of this would have happened.
As you all entered, Blake approached the door to leave.
Weiss: Stop. Lately you've been quiet, antisocial and moody!
Yang: Uh, have you met Blake?
Weiss: Which I get is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong! So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?
Blake: I just, I don't understand how everyone can be so calm.
Ruby: You're still thinking about Torchwick?
Blake: Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!
(Y/N): I know that feeling actually, I've been questioning the idea that Frost might even be working with Torchwick for something. No matter how I try to deny certain thoughts.
Yang: Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the Huntsmen, I'm sure they can handle it.
Blake: Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do!
Weiss: Okay, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think that you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells!
Ruby: Uh, who?
Weiss: But let me once again be the voice of reason. We're students! We're not ready to handle this sort of situation!
Ruby: Well yeah, but...
Weiss: We're not ready!
Blake: And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day.
She pointed toward the door.
Blake: They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!
Ruby: Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest Huntresses to single-handedly taking down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale... say aye.
Yang: Yes! I love it when you're feisty!
(Y/N): Sounds like an interesting idea.
Weiss: Well, I suppose it could be fun.
Ruby: None of you said aye!
Blake: Alright then, we're in this together!
Ruby: Let's hatch a plan!
Yang: Yeah!
(Y/N): What kind of...
Ruby suddenly gasped.
Ruby: I left my board game at the library!
Weiss face palmed.
Weiss: We're doomed.
Ruby ran out of the room and down the hallway.
Ruby: I'll be right back!
You then sighed.
(Y/N): I best go after her before she ends up crashing into........
The sound of collision was heard.
Yang: Too late.
You left the room and ran to Ruby's direction.
Ruby: Oo....oof! Oh g.....
Ruby looked up.
Ruby: Sorry. Are you okay?
https://youtu.be/q6k_LNZNPGQ
She said to a certain green haired girl.
Emerald: I'm fine.
She offered her hand.
Emerald: Just watch where you're going.
Ruby took Emerald's hand as Mercury came by and stood beside them. You soon caught up with Ruby.
(Y/N): Damn it Ruby, we talked about running too fast in the hall ways. You're fast, but not fast enough to keep yourself from crashing into things!
Ruby: Sorry (Y/N), but I was in a hurry.
Mercury whispered to Emerald
Mercury: Honestly, was kinda expecting the Arcosain we were dealing with to be more intimidating looking.
Emerald: Have you clearly never heard of "looks can be deceiving".
You and Ruby soon looked back to them.
Ruby: Oh, right, sorry. Um, I'm Ruby and this is (Y/N).
She said while pointing to you.
(Y/N): I'm guessing you guys are the new students?
Emerald stepped aside as Cinder approached.
Cinder: Visiting from Haven, actually.
Ruby: Ooh! You're here for the festival! But exchange students have their own dormitory.
Mercury: I guess we just got turned around.
Ruby: Hey, don't worry, it happens all the time.
Mercury and Emerald walked past you and ruby.
(Y/N): Your building should just be east of here.
Cinder: Thanks.
She walked past you both as well.
Cinder: Maybe we'll see you around.
Ruby: Yeah, maybe!
(Y/N): Depend on what we have going on.
The three were walking off.
Ruby: Oh, uh, and welcome to Beacon!
Cinder gave an evil grin that neither of you saw as she walked off with Emerald and Mercury.
A/N: And so, Beacon has been breached.
