Chapter 15: A Field Trip
The sound of soft groaning was followed up by Akito's ruby red eyes fluttering open to be greeted by a dimly lit Dorm Room. He glanced around, noticing the others fast asleep on their beds, Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Setsuna, the Arctic Wolf completely spread across her bed, drooling and barely wearing anything but one kf Akito's plain shirts as she was clearly in a deep sleep. He then heard the soft snoring of all four of his sisters in his head. As he slowly sat up, he realized that Blake was the only one not there. Thinking that she was in the library or something, he decided to get up and take a shower. Grabbing his towel and a clean pair of his normal outfit, he headed into the bathroom, turning around to close the door, which he did, locking it in the process. But what he realized was that the light was already on... and there was a gasp, which caused him to freeze.
The gasp wasn't from him or his sisters... and Ruby, Yang, Weiss and Setsuna were fast asleep in the actual Dorm Room. So, there was only one option...
Akito: "B-Blake...?" His wolf ears folded as he faced the locked door, daring not to look back.
Blake: "Y-Yeah...?"
With her hands crossed in front of her chest and privates, Blake stood behind Akito, her face bright red as her ears flattened and there even seemed to be some steam coming off of her head. Not long before he had awakened, Blake had gotten up and decided to take a shower since... she still had Akito's scent on her and they had a mission to do today. But just as she was about to step in the shower, Akito had entered the bathroom. She just couldn't bring herself to scream, however... The atmosphere had turned extremely awkward, with neither Faunus saying anything to each other before Akito cleared his throat.
Akito: "S-Sorry... I should have knocked... I-I'll leave now..."
And then, he quickly left the bathroom, leaving a nude and embarrassed Blake standing there. What she found strange however, was the fact they had sexual intercourse last night. Full on Sex and were butt naked doing it too. They were staring, touching and messing up each other's nude bodies yet for whatever reason, she was hiding her body from him...? Why was she so embarrassed to reveal herself to him now when she realistically shouldn't be..?
Akito however was just outside of the bathroom, his back pressed to the door as he silently cursed himself. He was lucky all of his sisters and Teammates were asleep, as he wouldn't hear the end of it if they saw what had happened.
This was truly the awkward situation to dethrone all awkward situations.
>Chapter 15: Field Trip<
Akito: "Ruby..."
Ruby: "Yes...?"
Akito: "Excuse my language, but... Why the FUCK did you think it was a good idea to press all of the damn Elevator Buttons!?"
After being called to the office of Professor Ozpin, the leaders of Teams RWBY and WOLF, Ruby and Akito stood side by side in the Elevator to Beacon's Headmaster office. However, due to the hooded girl deciding it was a good idea to press all of the elevator buttons, the elevator itself was moving slowly, stopping at each and every floor of the tower. From his outburst, the argent-eyed girl flinched and blushed from embarrassment.
Ruby: "I-I'm sorry...! I-I didn't know this would happen!" The wolf sighed deeply, face palming in the process as Ruby whined a bit in a slightly sad manner.
Summer: "Don't be so hard on her, brother.."
Spring: "Yeah, she's really sorry.." Hearing the voices of his sisters caused for Akito to release a calm sigh as he glanced at the young leader.
Akito: "It's fine.. Just, don't do that again please?"
Ruby: "R-Right."
After a few agonizing minutes, the elevator finally arrived at the very top of the tower, where the Headmaster Office was located. As the doors opened, Ruby and Akito were immediately met by the sights of General Ironwood, Glynda Goodwitch and Professor Ozpin, who was seated behind his desk. As he stepped into the room, Akito could feel the atmosphere slightly turn tense as his eyes landed on General Ironwood, whose eyes were fixated on him and is arms crossed. He knew why the General was eyeballing him, it was obvious.
He stole the Exia and her weapon, which were created by the Atlesian Scientists for Ironwood's military. Though strangely, despite his glare being on guard and focused on Akito, the wolf didn't feel any ill intent.
Ruby: "Sorry it took so long! Someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the way up here." In an instant, Akito narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms as he was clearly staring at her in an accusing manner. "It wasn't me."
Ozpin: "Thank you for coming, Ruby and Akito. How are you both feeling?"
Akito: "Just fine, thank you."
Ruby: "Okay, I guess. I'd feel better if my bad-guy-catching record wasn't zero-for-three." Everyone stared at her silently, Akito more out of confusion before he remembered that Ruby did mention the early morning that she had a run in with a lady in a black tight suit who infiltrated the CCT Tower. "Okay, so that's the ton we're going for, got it."
Ironwood: "Ruby. I feel it's appropriate to let you both know that I think what you did last night, is exactly what being a Huntress is all about. You recognized a threat, you took action and did the very best you could."
Ruby: "Thank you sir."
Ozpin: "Now, the general here had already informed us of the events that transpired last night. But now that you've rested, we were wondering if you had anything to add."
Glynda: "Was there any one else with her? Did she look familiar to you at all?" Ruby shook her head.
Ruby: "I don't know... She was wearing a mask and didn't say anything. But I know she fought with glass. I don't think that was her Semblance, though. Her clothing lit up whenever she attacked."
Autumn: "Glass...?"
Glynda: "Save for the glass, that sounds like the woman I fought the night I met Ruby."
Akito: "And the fact of her clothing lighting up, it sounds like Dust was imbedded into the fabric of her clothing, which meant it could be anyone." He added on, to which Ironwood nodded in agreement.
Ruby: "Wait... You think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?"
Winter: "She has a point..." Akito lowered his head, his wolf ears flattening as he thought about what Ruby described.
Ozpin: "It's possible. But we still lack required evidence to link the two together."
Ruby: "Actually... I-I think I remember her saying something about a hideout or something... In the Southeast, just outside of the Kingdom." Akito glanced at the young leader, realizing what she was implying.
Autumn: "Ooh! Smart thinking! Haha, I taught her all of that!"
Summer: *deadpans* "No you didn't.."
Ozpin: "Interesting..."
Glynda: "I thought you said the intruder never-"
Ozpin: "Thank you for your time, Ms. Rose. Why don't you go spend more time with your team while we ask Mr. Zara some questions as well? You have a big day ahead of you."
Ruby looked at Akito, feeling concerned about what the headmasters and professor wanted to speak to him about. But Akito smiled at her and ruffled up her hair a little.
Akito: "Don't worry about me, Little Red. I won't be long. Tell the others the same."
Ruby: "Alright." She said with a nod and turned around before making her way to the elevator door.
Ozpin: "And Ms. Rose, please try to be... discreet about this matter."
Ruby: "Yes sir." With that settled, the silver-eyed girl entered the elevator, with the doors closing behind her, Akito then turn his attention to the three adults before him.
Akito: "Let me guess, you wanted to discuss about what I talked to you about on the day before the dance, right?" He questioned.
When Yang had found him exiting from the Headmaster office, he was already finished talking to Ozpin, mainly about the fact that Emerald and Mercury were at the school. Though before he could go into much detail, Ozpin advised him to spend time with his friends and relax for the dance since he seemed extremely stressed.
Ozpin: "More like, I would like you to go into more detail about it. Oh, and no need to stay hidden, girls."
Ironwood and Glynda looked confused while Akito sighed and gave Ozpin a look of annoyance. The old man gave a playful shrug causing the wolf to sigh as his eyes flashed between the four colors before all four of his sisters appeared next to him, shocking Ironwood and Glynda.
Ironwood: "What in the..?"
Winter: "Excuse us. We are Akito's sisters. I am Winter, the eldest sister and they are Spring, Autumn and Summer. Pleased to meet you both in person." She said, with all four of them bowing respectfully.
Glynda: "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... Ozpin... Are they...?"
Ozpin: "We'll discuss that another time, Glynda. But refrain from informing anyone about them." He held up his hand to silence her before turning his attention to the five young people. "Now as for the topic in question." Akito nodded and gestured to Spring.
The youngest of the siblings saw the signal and conjured up a paper in her hand and glasses on her face, in an attempt to look professional as she cleared her throat. Her other sisters deadpanned at her, with Autumn face palming.
Spring: *in a voice that is trying desperately to be professional* "So! Due to Professor Goodwitch and General Ironwood not being present during our last meeting, I shall inform you both of the current information my fellow sisters, brother and his teammate found out during this new semester! When Professor Ozpin had dispatched us to find a former White Fang Member who was planning to escape his brothers and sisters by heading to the deserts of Vacuo, we encountered the two suspects that are currently at this school; Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai." The moment Glynda heard the names of the two students, her eyes widened. "They had attacked Mr. Tukson at his bookshop and if not for Big Bro and Setsuna graciously stepping in to save him, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL GONNER!!!"
She ended her speech with a dramatic flip before she stood on a nearby chair, rays of sunshine shining from behind her to give her a superhero-like appearance. The room had fell silent, the atmosphere becoming more and more awkward as the only sound that there was Ozpin chuckling at the young girl's demeanor, feeling a warm wave of nostalgia. As for Winter, Summer and Autumn, they all collectively facepalmed.
S.A.W: "Sppprrriiinnngg..."
The young green-haired girl looked at them before the sudden realization of the situation settled in. A massive blush overtook her face as she quickly got off of the chair and hid behind Akito, her piece of paper dematerializing.
Akito: *sighs* "Besides Spring's over-exaggeration... what she said was roughly correct. Emerald and Mercury were the ones that attacked Tukson and now they're here.. We never really fully battled back then, but we did in Goodwitch's class. I battled against Mercury and for some reason, I felt like he wasn't going all out... He seemed more keen on observing what I did, hence why I avoided using Exia or any of Exia's other Swords besides Alpha and the GN Shield, which they both already seen. After class was over, I had Setsuna track them... but they got away."
Summer: "But, we can't forget about that third woman that was with them when they walked past our dorm."
Autumn: "The chick that looked too old to be here? Yeah, she's sus as hell."
(A/N: *Among Us sound intensifies*)
Ozpin: "Mmm... Do you have a description of this woman?"
Akito: "It was exactly as Autumn said. Judging by her appearance and by how the uniform tightly hugged her figure, she looked like a few years older than a student should be at this school. She had long brownish hair, with half of her face being covered by it. For her exposed eye, it was an amber-like color and she seemed taller than Emerald. And her along with those two idiots claim to hail from Haven Academy. But that's it. We know nothing about her name."
Ironwood: "So are you telling me, that our enemy has been here this entire time!?" He yelled, his anger rising as Spring yelped from his outburst and clung onto her brother.
Glynda: "James! Lower your voice!"
Ironwood: "We have been fighting this enemy for years now and the moment they go dark on our radars, they end up reappearing right beneath our noses! And you're telling me to lower my voice!?"
Ozpin: "That's enough, James." The two adults looked towards the headmaster, with him leaning back in his seat. "I am certainly surprised as well. Mr. Zara, do you think these suspects could be related to the infiltrator the previous night?"
Akito: "I have no doubt. Though the way Ruby described her, didn't sound like Emerald. So I think that mystery woman is the only lead but I don't want to jump to conclusions yet."
Winter: "Right. The least we could do is discretely spy on them. My sisters and I have been thinking about role-playing as a team here at Beacon so we'd blend in and be able to perform espionage on them." She said, with the other three nodding.
Ozpin: "I see.." He hummed and stroked his chin, his free hand resting on his cane before he looked towards Glynda. "Glynda, keep a close eye on the suspects during class time. I'll ask the other professors to do the same."
Glynda: "U-Understood, professor." He then turned to Ironwood.
Ozpin: "As for you James, keep your military vigilant. But, do not push any of our enemy's boundaries. We have to be discreet. If they realize we're onto them, they very well may choose to advance their plans now and put every student on Beacon in danger. I'd rather for that to be the last thing to happen. For now, we continue the school year as planned and keep the Vytal Festival." The general grumbled slightly under his breath before sighing and nodding in agreement.
Ironwood: "Alright, Ozpin.."
Ozpin: "Good. Now, that will be all." He said, looking towards the five students with a smile. "Go and reunite with your team and prepare yourself for today."
Akito: "Right. But please.. if things start to escalate, don't hesitate to ask me and Setsuna to put an end to their plans there and then." He said to which Ozpin didn't respond to that. The wolf turned towards the elevator, with the four sisters of the seasons disappearing back into his mind. However as the elevator doors opened, a certain man called out to him.
Ironwood: "Akito Zara." The wolf froze, having a slight bad feeling about this as he glanced back at the general. "You know I'm aware that you were once a member of the White Fang and you were the one that stole the Gundam Exia and still have it to this day."
Glynda: "James..."
Ironwood: "I'm getting there, Glynda..." he took a deep breath. "But, after realizing your efforts as of late with assisting Ozpin and us with these matters and with you helping to discover Roman's plans with my stolen Atlesian Tech, I have come to a conclusion."
He took out his scroll, causing for the Gundam Exia to materialize next to Akito, surprising him. However, what caught him more by surprise was seeing the center green orb piece on Exia's chest glow, displaying the Exosuit's model number... along with this text...
"Gundam Meister-Akito Zara."
Akito: "Wait.. Are you??" He looked towards the General who... smiled and nodded.
Ironwood: "Yes. After deep consideration and monitoring the performance of Exia while in your hands, I have personally decided to officially make you The Gundam Meister of Gundam Exia."
S.S.A.W: "Whaaaaaaat!?"
Ironwood: "It is now yours and any questions about it that you'd like to be answered, any maintenance or repairs, you may come to me and I'll have my men handle it."
Akito: "... Heh... I never thought you'd grown soft for a lowly criminal like me, General." He said, slowly chucking as he glanced at him, with a smile on his face as Exia vanished into the core on his necklace. "But, I appreciate it."
And with that, he left the room. Ironwood sighed but chuckled a bit.
Ironwood: "He's just like Dante..."
Ozpin: "Indeed he is." He said with a smile, though a flash of a young boy with black hair and red eyes smiling brightly appeared in his mind.
As Akito exited the Elevator, he was surprised to see that Ruby was waiting for him. When she saw him, she smiled brightly.
Akito: "I thought I said to go to the others.."
Ruby: "I would have, but I wouldn't want Blake worrying about you now!" She said with that cheeky grin of hers as she turned around and began waltzing out of the tower. The black wolf stood there for a few seconds, surprised before a large blushed formed on his face.
Akito: "T-The hell is that supposed to mean!? Hey! Get back here you damned Cookie Monster!"
Ruby: "Nope~!" She taunted, blowing a raspberry before blasting off with her Petal Burst Semblance, while Akito chased after her.
At Team RWBY and WOLF's Dorm Room...
The moment the door for Teams RWBY and WOLF's dorm opened, Akito and Ruby were immediately met by Weiss, Setsuna, Blake and Yang all in their faces, looks of curiosity on their faces.
Yang: "What happened!?"
The only response that was given was a nervous laughter from Ruby. After entering the room, the two leaders explained what happened with their teams. Akito purposely left out the suspects of Mercury, Emerald and that mystery woman, mainly because he didn't want the rest of Team RWBY to worry about them. But he'd tell Setsuna when they're alone since she's roped into this.
Weiss: "That was a risky move." She said, specifically referring to Ruby telling the three Professors about the Southeast.
Blake: "No, I think she handled it well."
Ruby: "I hope so..."
Weiss: "And the general himself officially assigned you to be the owner of the Exia, Akito??" She asked in slight disbelief as the wolf only laughed slightly.
Akito: "I know I was surprised too... But I guess he deemed me worthy to dawn it, even though I did stole it." He said with a shrug as Setsuna's eyes sparked as she looked at him.
Setsuna: "We even stronger now!"
She cheered with the black wolf chuckling and petting her on her head between her ears, causing her to rub into his hand. Blake watched with a small smile though... for some reason she couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy. After what happened last night, she couldn't help but fantasize about Akito petting her like this. So she had a small pout on as she was lightly scratching her cheek. But then a brief flash of the memory of last night appeared in her mind, causing her face to be overtaken with a strong blush. Since this morning, her and Akito haven't talked directly or alone... Then...
Yang: "Little kitty jealous~?"
Blake: *blushes heavily* "E-Eh!? I-I don't know what you're talking about! Hmph!" She crossed her arms, turning her head to hide her blush. Yang only laughed in a teasing manner before looking back at her sister.
Yang: "I'm sure everything will be alright, Ruby. Oh, I know what will cheer you up!" She walked over to a table and picked up a cylindrical package.
Ruby: "What's that?"
Yang: "I don't know yet. Dad sent it to us. I thought we could open it together!"
Ruby: "Ooohhh! Something from home!" She sped onto Yang's back, attempting to grab the package but was failing before a strange black object slid out of the bottom of it and onto the ground. It unfolded as Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter appeared and everyone crowed around it. It was...
???: "Arff!"
RWBY and S.S.A.W: "WAAAAA!!!!"
Setsuna: "O_o I-Is that...?" She mumbled, instantly recognizing the pup before them.
Akito: "Oh boy..."
Ruby: "ZWEI!!!"
Blake: "He sent a dog!?"
Weiss: "In the mail?" The little corgi was endlessly licking Ruby face as she giggled.
Yang: "Oh, he does stuff like this all the time!" Blake, who was hiding on top of Ruby's bed, looked down at them, clearly trembling in fear of the canine.
Blake: "You're father or the dog?"
Akito: "I don't think that question should be answered..."
Spring and Autumn: "Ahh, he's such a little cutie!! Who's a good doggo?? Who's a good boy!?" Both sisters cooed Zwei who panted happily as he barked at them, causing them both to squeal in love and turn to their brother. "Big bro, WE HAVE TO GET ONE!!"
Akito: "Uh..."
Blake: "N-NO!"
Winter: "Guys can we calm down pleases..."
Summer: "Uhh... sis?" She tugged on her elder sister and pointed to Weiss. When Winter saw what was going down, she began to sweat a bit.
Weiss: "Are you telling me that this mangy..." Zwei looks at Weiss with those adorable eyes... "...drooling..." He continued to look at her... "... mutt, is going to wiv wif us forwevah!??? Oh yes he is, yes he is! Oh isn't he adorable! Ah!"
Winter and Summer: "Well that was... unexpected..."
Blake: "Please keep it away from my belongings."
Ruby: "Wait, you're afraid of dogs yet you're not afraid of Akito and Setsuna?" She looked at her confused.
Akito: "Hey... Technically, we're Wolves."
Setsuna: "Yes! Setsuna is a proud Wolf!" Triumphant music played as she put her hands on her hips, standing tall and proud... Even though she was the shortest in the room along with Weiss and Spring.
Blake: "T-They're an exception!" As she blurted that out, Zwei barked, causing the feline girl to yelp and back up on the bed, causing for Akito to sigh and shake his head. Soon however, they were interrupted by Glynda speaking through the intercoms.
Glynda: "Would all first year students please report to the amphitheater."
Yang: "Look there's a letter. 'Dear Girls, I've got to leave the island for a few days. So I'm sending Zwei to you to take care of. Enclosed is all the food you should need. Love you all, Taiyang'" She then turned the package for a bunch of food cans to fall out on the pup, burying him in them briefly before his adorable little head popped out of it.
Weiss: "What is he supposed to do with that?" Then a can opener fell out.
Summer: "Wait... How is he gonna-"
Yang: "Well that settles it! Come on, Zwei will be here when we get back."
Weiss: "Oh I'll miss you so much, we're going to be best friends, I can't wait to see you!"
As everyone was exiting the room, with the four season sisters vanishing into their brothers mind and Blake hopping from the bed to the table to avoid Zwei, Ruby was left in the room. As she was about to make her exit, she looked back at her adorable corgi, watching his face as an idea formed into her mind and she smirked mischievously.
End
Next Chapter: "Search and Destroy"
Ruby: "We can do this. We've never backed down before and we're not going to start now."
Blake: "Right."
Ruby: "And we'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman!"
Yang: "Yeah!"
Setsuna: "This'll be a piece of cake!"
Then...... they saw him. The Huntsman that they were paired with. It was no other than...
Oobleck: "Why hello people! Who's ready to fight for their lives!?"ย All six first-years stared at him with either dead-eyes or disappointed looks. Akito' whose arms were crossed released a deep sigh as he leaned towards Setsuna.
Akito: "You were saying?"
