Chapter 2: Criminal 11
The five members that made team FRST were just waking up from their rather deep sleep. With Fia being far more animalistic with her awakening, letting out a loud yawn as she arched her back and stretched her arms out in front of her making her look more like a dog that had just woken up more than a person. A few moments later she began hearing the source of what had woken her up. Red and Logan arguing with each other.
"I want to high five you . . . in the face . . . with a brick . . . covered in spikes, dipped in poison," Red said as he looked at the male in front of him.
"I hope you go swimming in acid, in a straightjacket," Logan said as he glared at the male in front of him
"Girl's please stop arguing, we all know I'm the pretty one," Fia said as she looked at the two in front of him, mocking them for their slightly childish behavior. When she said this Logan became noticeably irritated as he looked at the female in front of him. Before an argument could start between the two Terry intervened.
"Alright, well you better get ready for class Fia. We don't want to be late," Terry said as he looked at the female causing her to nod. As he said this Fia continued to sit on the bed as if she were waiting for something.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Logan asked as he looked at the female in front of him.
"I'm waiting for all of you to leave, I'm not changing in front of a bunch of guys," Fia said as she looked at the figures in front of her.
"You've got to be kidding me," Red said as he looked at the female in front of him. He would understand if they humans but he and Logan were Faunus, so surely they could be trusted. If anything only Terry should leave when she was changing.
"Nope, I'm not going to change until I have some privacy," Fia said as she crossed her arms clearly unwilling to change her mind on the subject.
"So it's okay for us to change in front of you but not the other way around?" Logan said as he looked at the female in front of him.
"Alright," Fia said as she stood up and began to walk towards the door. "Since there's more of you I'll let you change first," Fia said as she opened the door and walked into the hall. "But do try to hurry up, like Terry said we don't have much time before class starts," Fia said as she shut the door and began waiting for the figures in the room to change.
"Can't argue with results," Terry said as he began to change from his pajamas into the uniform that Beacon had provided him. Logan and Red both groaned hearing this and began changing as well. However, unknown to the three as Fia was in the halls waiting for them to change a familiar pinkette began to approach the female in front of her.
"Hey Fia," Cerise said as she looked at the blonde Faunus in front of her. Fia smiled seeing the female and looked at her.
"Her Ceri," Fia said as she looked at the female in front of her. Cerise smiled hearing this before she looked at the door to her dorm a bit confused.
"Did something happen? Why are you outside . . . in your pajamas?" Cerise asked as she looked at Fia clearly confused about the situation.
"I'm waiting for the guys to change so that I can change in private," Fia said as she looked at the female of her.
"Oh," Cerise said as she looked at the female in front of her. As soon as she said this the door to their dorm opened and the three began to walk out of the room and into the halls.
"Coming from a mutt like you I'm not surprised. The only thing that does surprise me is that you're not going around drinking water from the toilets around the school," Red said as he looked at the male in front of him.
"Oh is that so you filthy bovine!" Logan screamed as he looked at the male in front of him. Fia sighed hearing this and began to walk into her dorm so that she could begin changing into something a bit more appealing than her pajamas.
"You want to go mutt!?" Red said as he looked at the male in front of him. When he said this Terry hit both of them on the head as he looked at them.
"Calm down you two, there will be plenty of time for you two to kill each other when you're in combat class at the end of the day. For now, at least pretend that you two don't want to kill each other. . . at least in front of the teachers," Terry said as he looked at the two in front of him. Cerise felt a little nervous seeing this. This was the team that Ozpin had picked to watch after her? How was she supposed to learn anything from such a dysfunctional team?
It would be great if she wanted to pick up some better insults to use on someone but other than that she couldn't imagine anything that she could possibly learn from them. "Hey Cerise, I didn't know you were here," Terry said as he looked at the female in front of him.
"Here's a tip stay away from Red he's a bad influence," Logan said as he gestured to the male beside him causing Red to become a bit irritated.
"Here's a better tip, don't listen to Logan, he supports extremists," Red said as he looked at the young figure in front of him. Terry sighed hearing this and began to pinch the bridge of his nose.
"This is going to be a long four years," Terry said to himself as he thought about the two arguing nonstop the entire time he was at Beacon. As soon as he said this the door to their dorm once again opened and Fia walked out wearing her uniform.
"Alright now let's go to class," Fia said with a smile as she began to walk down the halls of Beacon. "We don't want to be late on our first day after all," Fia said with a smile as they continued towards the room they had been instructed to arrive in. Once they did locate the room they saw that there were already several students in the room.
The four then began to walk to their seats, and as they did they all noticed something they thought was rather odd. For whatever reason, the female had several glass jars on her desk. Fia could have understood if the jars were filled with dust but from what she could see the jars were completely empty, the only inside being air.
However, not wanting to question their professor they all chose to remain quiet and sat down waiting for the female to return to begin their first lecture of the year. It did take some time but she did eventually return to the room and when she did she began to read off several names. Once she was done she placed the board down and looked at the several students in front of her.
"Alright students today we will be covering some of the basics before I send you all out on a mission," The female said as she looked at the figures in front of her causing many of the students to begin whispering slightly. "Yes, yes I know it's all very exciting now settle down," Peach said as she looked at the figures in front of her.
"Now first off we should all know what Dust is. Well, Dust is a source of energy in Remnant. The physical properties of Dust make it incredibly useful for a variety of purposes, particularly in the weapon of many huntsmen and huntresses throughout history as well as many of today's generation. Dust can be processed into many different forms however in its natural form, it is shaped like a crystal and t is known to make a distinctive "shimmering" sound passively and when in use," Peach said as she looked at the several figures in front of her.
Seeing that no one had interrupted her yet she continued with what she was saying. As a natural resource, it is sometimes poetically referred to as "Nature's Wrath", or more prosaically as an energy propellant. Dust comes in many different forms and it is known to react with other substances in interesting and unforeseen ways to create an entirely new type of dust. Which brings me to today's lesson. Class for your first assignment of the school year you will head into the Emerald Forest and gather a jar of sap from the trees," Peach said as she looked at the figures in front of her.
When she said this everyone stood up and began to walk towards her desk to collect one of the several glass jars that were in front of them. "I don't really care what trees you get them from, or how you get them from the trees just fill up the jars and return with them," Peach said as she looked at the figures in front of her. When she said this they all nodded and stood up before they began to walk to her desk and picked up one of the several jars before leaving the room.
"I hope she knows what she's doing. Having us work with dust on the first day could be kind of dangerous," Terry said as he walked down the halls with the others.
"It's fine, she did this last year too. She just wants to show the effects of dust and how unpredictable it can be at times," Cerise said as she looked at the team in front of her.
"I hope it's a powerful glue so that I can shut Red's mouth," Logan said with a smirk as he glared at the male in front of him.
"Try it and I'll throw that toy you were chewing on off the roof," Red said as he looked at the male in front of him.
"You wouldn't dare," Logan growled as he looked at the male in front of him.
"If it'll piss you off you better believe I will," Red said as he looked at the male in front of him. Logan grit his teeth hearing this and the two continued to walk down the halls of Beacon Academy. With Fia walking close beside them so that she could break the two up quickly if they started fighting. Once they arrived at the forest Fia began to look around for any trees that might have been leaking sap and thanks to her rather incredible sense of smell she was able to find one rather easily.
"So what are we going to do if we're attacked?" Terry asked as he looked at the female in front of him.
"We kill the grimm obviously," Fia said as she began trying to gather some of the sap into the jar.
"Okay, but shouldn't we have some sort of plan when it comes to this?" Terry asked as he looked at her a bit concerned.
"You're a big boy I'm sure you can figure it out. If nothing else you'll have Logan and Red to help. . . assuming they stopping fighting each other long enough to help," Fia said as she looked at the jar and began moving over to another tree. There wasn't much sap that was naturally leaking out so it made filling the jars rather difficult without cutting down any of the trees. Something Fia felt would have been a little excessive just for a jar of sap.
As they were walking Terry noticed something that bothered him for some reason. He saw several other men looking at Fia as she continued to collect sap. At first, he thought they were just watching her collect the sap to find ways to do it themselves but when he saw them begin to whisper and chuckle with each other he quickly realized that they were looking at Fia in a different way.
He thought it might have been because she was his team leader, his partner, or even his friend, he wasn't sure the reason but he knew that seeing them looking at her like that filled him with rage for some reason. "Fia," Terry said as he looked at the female beside him. When he said this the blonde turned to look at him and he continued what he was saying. "There are some guys looking at you. Do you want me to tell them to stop?" Terry offered as he looked at the female beside him.
"No it's fine," Fia said as she disregarded what he had said. When she did Terry looked at her a bit surprised and continued what he was saying.
"A-are you sure? I mean it wouldn't-" Terry began only for Fia to cut him off.
"Yeah, it's fine people stare at me all the time. You get used to it after a while. Honestly, most guys like that just aren't worth the effort," Fia said as she looked at the male in front of her.
"Yeah, but what are you going to do if they try something?" Terry asked as he looked at the female in front of him.
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. You'd be surprised how many guys blow it in the first few seconds by staring at my breasts. And if they try anything stupid like 'accidentally' tripping so that they can grope me then I think it's only fair I get a little payback. You'd be surprised how many people have been burned by me using my semblance because they tried something stupid like that," Fia said as she looked at the male in front of her.
Terry smirked hearing this and nodded before chuckling to himself slightly at the thought. Cerise also chuckled slightly hearing this as she looked at Fia. "You're a lot more unpredictable than I took you for a first. All of you are actually, at this rate you all might even be able to take down the criminal eleven," Cerise said jokingly as she looked at the figures in front of her.
"The criminal eleven?" Fia asked as she looked at Cerise a bit confused as to what she was talking about.
"Yeah the criminal eleven," Cerise said before she noticed Fia's gaze. "You . . . don't know what I'm talking about do you?" Cerise asked as she looked at the female in front of her.
"You got to remember most of us aren't from here," Terry said as he looked at the female in front of him.
"Right," Cerise said as she looked at the figures before she began to explain. "Well, the criminal eleven are a group of the eleven most wanted criminals in Vale. They're apparently really strong which is why they haven't been captured yet. They've started to become a lot more active recently which is why I said what I did," Cerise said as she looked at the male in front of her.
"I see, does anyone not have any information on them and that's why they're so dangerous?" Fia asked as she looked at the female in front of her causing Cerise to shake her head.
"No, we've got information on them, it's just by the time people that might stand a chance arrive they've already defeated their opponent and left," Cerise said as she looked at Fia.
"I . . . I see," Fia said as she looked at Cerise thinking about what she had said. "We should probably go, don't want to keep the professor waiting after all," Fia said as she looked at the males in front of her causing them to nod and head back to Beacon.
