~First Person~
Ack...Hopping off the Bullhead that usually drops me off after my internship with Vale PD and at this time? Its around midday but my body tells me its late night thanks to how horrible Vale is right. Seriously, outside of Amity Arena? People rob because they're still trying to get by after the Breach, gangs terrorizing people and what not for "defending" them. Especially downtown where the Breach actually happened.
Despite all this, I couldn't help but look off towards the water below and Vale as I thought to myself...Just how much has my life changed since I got here? Well, I still have Athena and my skills but, lifestyle wise? I sleep after eleven P.M., three meals a day instead of just when I'm able to, friends that I consider family to some like Port, Ozpin, Oobleck and even Goodwitch! But the biggest has been Weiss...I found myself staring a bit too much over the horizon before Athena chimed in over my earpiece.
"PILOT, ARE YOU OKAY? SENSORS ARE PICKING UP YOU ARE IN DISTRESS."
"Not distress, Athena...I guess you can call it content and peace. I know that there was the Breach, IMC still at large and what not but, honestly? That's what peace means to me. Fighting for what's right. Fighting for those that can't so that way, they won't have to. Feels pretty fucking good! But...lately I've been having weird dreams that I feel yet, can't really see..."
"IT IS LIKELY A SYMPTOM OF OVERWORKING YOURSELF, PILOT. I SUGGEST GETTING REST WHEN YOU CAN."
Yeah. When I can. Until then? I have to look all nice and presentable~!
"Athena! Reroute a waypoint towards CVFY's!"
"REROUTE SET. GOOD LUCK, PILOT."
~Third Person~
Amity Arena. Something similar to a Gladiator's colosseum yet, instead of just for fighting and entertainment, this had another purpose. To unify the people of Remnant so that, for a select time? They don't have to be Remnants. They can be much more.
And at the current moment? The stands were filled to the brim with onlookers who were cheering for the current fighters in the split half-ice shard, half-fire shard landscape with Team RWBY facing off against Team ABRN with the two teams taking a one-on-one approach to fighting their opponents. And from the looks of it? They were evenly matched.
"Ohoh! It seems we have another astonishing bout ahead of us! Wouldn't you agree, Professor?"
"A-Doctor-And yes, Peter! I think it's safe to say this match may be the closest we've seen of the four-on-four round of the tournament!"
"For those of you who aren't of the Dark Age, Team RWBY and ABRN will be giving us all a pleasant show~"
Entering the Sportscaster's room, was none other than (Y/N) who held a microphone of his own as he seemed more dapper than every. And by that, that meant his flight-suit was completely clean as his chest-plate was missing. Not to mention, he seemed more casual than usual as even he was clean.
"My word! It seems we have Beacon Academy's Pilot, (Y/N) joining us today!"
"That's right, Doctor. Ratings were starting to plummet so the big man in the clock-tower sent me down to say this ship from crashing in a fiery ball of flames~!"
This earned him a nice collective laugh from the crowd as he then sat down next to Port as the fight down below continued. At one point, (Y/N) even flashed the camera in the room a toothy grin as there was even a twinkle in his teeth.
"For those of you just now joining us, welcome to the Vytal Festival Tournament!"
Port exaggerated yet, possibly under played the grandness of the event by swinging his arm in front of him. (Y/N) following suit by continuing the gesture with a swing of his arm as he smiled brightly.
"Broadcasting live from the Amity Colosseum!"
As this little spectacle went on, so did the arrival of new students trying to catch a seat for the ongoing fight. A fight that continued on with several explosions. Now back to the sportscaster's room.
"If this is your first time watching, allow us to break down the rules!"
"The tournament is divided into three distinctive rounds; teams, doubles, and singles."
With Port's little introduction to the next topic, Oobleck chimed in as he held up respective digits for each category. Four, two then one.
"Age and school year are irrelevant! In this tournament, your only attribute being tested... is skill."
"But not just that, Team skill! Coordination-!"
Tossing a pen up into the air, Port would catch it for the Pilot and promptly spin it around a finger.
"-and Team spirit! The willingness to put the team before yourself!"
Disappearing under the table, (Y/N) soon reappeared near the end of his sentence in between Port and Oobleck. Wrapping his arms around their backs and placing them on the sides of their shoulders.
"No better way to put it! The winners of this battle will elect two of their members to represent them in the doubles round, followed by the winners of that round choosing one member to advance once again. The remaining combatants will then fight their way through the final bracket in the hope of achieving victory for their kingdom!"
"And if they fail? To the lions! Like the olden days-! Wait...Headmaster Ozpin just advised me that there are no lions and that no body is being fed to anybody...lame."
To lighten up the mood after Port's well-versed explanation, (Y/N) would mess with the crowd by putting a finger up to his ear as if he had an earpiece. Another set of soft laughter would ring out through and from the crowd below. Even Oobleck gave a soft chuckle before speaking out.
"And yes, Peter, these certainly are some spectacular spectacles on which to spectate on! I don't think anyone tuning in around the world is going to disagree with me on that!"
"That's a lot of specs!"
"Ahh, and why would they? Now, let's get back to the match between Team RWBY of Beacon, and Team ABRN of Haven."
Down below, Reese Chloris of Team ABRN would glide around the icy shards in a low to the ground kind of stance. However, she soon zeroed in on Blake's position as she went for an offensive move via flicking her hoverboard towards her. Forcing Blake to deflect the board with a small combative twirl as Reese unexpectedly punched her board right back towards her. Once again, Blake would deflect this attack yet, the board somehow copied a boomerang by twirling back towards Reese. But Blake wasn't about to let this occur without consequence as she leapt forward right as Reese caught her board. The two would begin an exchange where Reese blocked whilst Blake attacked with her occasional use of semblance shades. In one free moment, Reese was able to parry Blake enough as she switched back to the offensive via riding her board over to the faunus. However, her attack just led to her board being split after Blake broke through her attack. Shooting Reese into the air, the hoverboard girl would grab the halves of her board as they suddenly turned into two pistols that she used to fire upon Blake yet...Reese suddenly landed on her tail with a hard thud that resonated through the colosseum as even Blake cringed.
"Yikes! I've have a few of those in my career! Her tailbone is now her hip bone!"
Meanwhile in the firescape half of the battle field, Yang would roar out as she lunged towards her counterpart. Arslan Altan, leader of Team ABRN. Who did wonderfully in blocking, deflecting or outright meeting the fiery blonde's attacks. In one moment, they attacked each other in unison as their fists collided and caused a large outwards concussive blast that knocked them both backwards. However, unlike Yang, Arslan's way of stopping herself caused the ground to be dug into as a nice streak. Yang wasn't going to let this intimidate her as she lunged back in to attack Arslan as the latter backflipped to avoiding her attack. Something Yang met with a set of kick but, Arslan's weapon soon made an appearance in the form of a tether cord that wrapped around Yang's outwards held leg. Without a warning, Arslan would fling Yang over her shoulder with a twirl that sent Yang across the landscape and into the neighboring ice shard landscape. Something she began to have trouble with when, upon getting on her two feet, would slip around a bit before Arslan lunged out from the other field. Punching Yang backwards and deeper into the icy terrain.
"Arslan studies Eastern Martial Arts. So she's well adept in conforming to ANY fighting style. I bet she'd give me a stale mate!"
A nearby Nadir Shiko stood with his rifle as Yang flew into his view so, he went to engage her yet, was pleasantly surprised when a heavy rifle shot rang put. Followed by a nearby ice shard bursting into an ice block that contained his legs and his weapon being thrown away by the blast too. Instead of doing anything, he simply frowned and groaned as a decently distanced Ruby cheered about defending her bigger sister. However, a new voice, belonging to Bolin Hori, behind her rang out that questioned who had her back. A rookie move considering he was then engaged by a sudden black Schnee glyph to his side before an equally sudden Weiss dove in and kicked him away. Ruby would stand up and smile giddily.
"BFF!"
"No."
With not even a millisecond of a missed beat, Weiss would deny Ruby before dashing forward to engage Bolin. Ruby stayed behind for a moment as she pumped her fist with a smile.
"Yes!"
In a silent tone, she then burst forward with Weiss.
"Ohoho~! Now time for the Team Cooperation!"
Bolin was just recovering when a white glyph appeared in front of him followed by Weiss shooting right past him. Striking him blindly, she leapt over him with a twirl alongside another attack that was blocked as she summoned yet another glyph. A glyoh meant for Ruby as she sprang up into the air and twirls fueled by gunfire recoils before slamming Crescent Rose's muzzle against Bolin's staff. Being kept in the air, she would growl out softly as she then pulled the trigger as the recoil of the blast sent her back while it dazed Bolin with a direct hit. Not wanting to let him rest up? They would coordinate their next move when Bolin dashed blindly as if to initiate but, he would dodge Weiss's attack made up of her sending shards towards him. Shards that he dodged via a forward roll as he ran right past Weiss to make a bee-line right towards Ruby. Something she didn't expect as Bolin leapt over the attack to just run by them. Calling out to her partner, they witnessed him chip the top of a fire shard off from the terrain before tossing it right at Reese who was still engaging Blake.
"Taking a page from Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose of RWBY and focusing on teammates! You love to see it!"
Catching it, she would jam the shard into the back of her hoverboard as it turned a nice red before hopping onto the board with a wink towards Blake before giving her a heavy attack that sent her through a large ice chunk Riding towards Nadir, she would free him from the ice as she swung back around to attack Blake with numerous kick flips of the board. All of them were significantly heavier attacks due to the flaming aura they actually gave off since Blake had to distance herself via a throw and swing of Gambol Shroud. Patrolling for a moment, Reese would find Blake facing the edge of the arena before grinning and shooting right towards her with a kick-flip attack that made the faunus disappear. A decoy. And a decoy that worked since Gambol Shroud would shoot out from cover and secure a tight-line that caused Reese to be clothes-lined by it. Landing with a harsh thud that was then accompanied by the cat kicking her out of the arena with a a two for one since her aura went below twenty and she was ring-out.
"Ooh, a double whammy! Reese Chloris is eliminated by ringout and Aura level!"
"Oh, she really should've worn a helmet!"
"I...I don't even know what to say. I can't even save this conversation. Forgive me, people of Remnant."
(Y/N) would stand up and bow to the camera before the continuing fight down below was shown once again. This time it was back to Yang and Arslan for a moment as the latter slingshot her way around the arena. Yang however was taking a more "Yang" approach as she was skating across the icy ground with boosts of her Ember Celica. As they passed, Nadir would flip into the way they had just passed to open fire on Weiss yet, she would bring up a black glyph that ended up slamming Bolin into his own teammate. Causing the two to slam onto the ground before Weiss summoned another black glyph that would make them hover only to be hit by ice shards and each other once again. Yet she was far from done as she summoned a light blue glyph that summoned a sort of icy hand. One that would grasp the two before curling into a ball of ice that began to roll towards the edge of the arena yet again.
"Yeah! You go, Weiss...! Schnee! Everybody knows that Miss Schnee is an adept and precise attacker!"
Looking at the camera with a sheepish smile and chuckle, (Y/N) soon looked to the Professor and Doctor beside him wave at their necks for him to stop talking. Advise that he followed by groaning and slamming his head into the table they sat in front of. Meanwhile, Arslan would see her boys heading towards ring-out danger and scoff with a roll of her eyes before whipping around. Swinging a bit more as she skid to a halt in front of the rolling ice ball. That's when she stomped a foot back and prepared to smash the ball. When it was just at perfect range, she shot her fist forward and shattered the ball completely to free Nadir along with Bolin. Seeing this, Weiss knew there was now a perfect opening for a three-for-one.
"Yang!"
Calling out to her blonde friend and teammate, Weiss would then bring her glyph out in front of her. Dragging it around in a swift semi-circle, a large ramp of ice. Immediately jumping into action, almost literally, as she gave herself shotgun boosts from Ember Celica. Blake now spring in for the xtra-help as she tossed Gambol Shroud right at Yang who caught it with a tight grip as Blake sprang forward. She even got an assist from Ruby who would jump in and fire Crescent Rose yo use the recoil to have Blake shoot past Yang. Whipping her blonde partner around, Yang would give out a rather shaky war-cry as she simultaneously punched all three remaining members of ABRN. Flying into the fiery hellscape to explode in a small firebomb as RWBY was declared winner via knockout. The crowd bursting into roaring cheers over their victory.
"And that's the match! Team RWBY is victorious!"
"Although they won, I personally give Yang Xiao Long's war-cry a C minus for effort."
A whistle would ring out below as Yang was now glaring with crimson eyes up at the sportcaster's stand. Making (Y/N) yelp out as he shot up from his seat to go leave.
"Abandon ship!"
Dashing out the sportscaster's room, Port and Oobleck would just laugh out loud due to the sheer fear within the Pilot's voice.
~First Person~
I love my job~ Walking through the Fair Grounds meant for all people attending the Vytal Festival, I would get small moments of people stopping me. Giving me credit for my job up in the sportscaster's room along with Port and Oobleck. Not to mention I had to dodge numerous "proposals" but, nothing a little pilot diplomacy can't fix~!
It wasn't long when I found Team RWBY walking into the Grounds as Little Red was hunched over, complaining of the fact she was starving due to lack of food. Told her she should have grabbed a granola bar but, she told me to get, and I quote, "the devil's fibers away" from her...Yeah. However, I didn't expect for Blake to reinforce this with a really loud and prolonged growl of her stomach as she went to cover it. Hell, if the other girl's were taken aback before Weiss tried to point out the obvious.
"Gee, if only there was somewhere on campus to get food around here...Oh wait."
"It's okay, Weiss, I forget about the fairgrounds, too..."
Tried. Ruby would plant her hand on Weiss's shoulder as the Ice Queen knocked her arm away.
"I was being 'facetious!?'"
"Gah! Well if you were hungry, why didn't you say so!?"
"Congratulations, Team RWBY for heading into the next bracket! The show you four put on gives CCTV footage from the Breach a run for its money. Hell, it even gives my helmet cam a run! And Ruby? She meant 'sarcasm.'"
Giving myself air quotes as I approached, I would give Yang a nice little knuckle bump and grin before giving Blake a low five. Turning to Ruby, who was pouting, I would pat her head as she perked up before being met with face to face with Weiss. Who I promptly hugged as she did the same with a soft smile.
"Lucky for you, I know just the place~"
"Oh! You mean THAT place? Awe man! I love the protein menu!"
Beginning to walk with the girls now, I made sure to stay close to Weiss as we walked hand in hand yet, we suddenly came to a stop when her scroll went off. Cocking an eyebrow at her, she would pull out her scroll in time for us to see the caller ID coming from "Father." Something she probably didn't like given how she glared and hung up before giving me a reassuring smile that was accompanied by her hugging my arm. Yet, the moment we caught up with the others, a familiar voice rang out.
"Hey! Might be hard to eat without this."
Turning around, we were a bit stunned to see Emerald carrying what I assumed was Ruby's wallet given its red coloring. Oh and Ruby frantic patting of her pockets as Emerald laughed softly.
"Good to see you, Ruby."
"Oh! Thanks, Emerald! Oh. Guess I dropped it. Girl pockets are the worst!"
Facepalming due to Ruby's flustered behavior as she took the wallet from Emerald, I couldn't help but notice Emerald being a bit more..."buddy" than ever. Hell, even the time Cinder invited me into the dorm via window, Emerald had freaked out a bit. Despite that, I chalked it up to change of character thanks to time.
"What's up, Em?"
"Heya, Emmy. Cinder around with ya?"
"Just left the stadium after RWBY's amazing fight! They were awesome! And Cinder is off visiting family! She should be back in a while."
"Oh, shut your stupid little face."
Emerald was waaaay more chipper. Although that was over-sighted by Ruby's gushing as I gave Little Red an unimpressed look. Even Weiss would notice this as she shook her head with a small roll of her eyes.
"I heard your team progressed to the next round too."
"You know, I feel that we haven't seen your other teammates."
"How'd they do in the fight?"
Mm. That fight. THAT was the definition of one sided. My god. Especially the way CMNE, pronounced Carmine I know what it sounds like. But believe me, Port had to jump in to save that landmine of a commentary. Anyways, they somehow worked alone yet, in unison somehow given they handled their individual counterparts only to given them up midway. Causing a shit ton of confusion and chaos for the other team. Not to mention, the small goth chick on CMNE's team was...ruthless. I like her~!
"Really well."
"That's great. Uh. Why don't we all go and get a victory food together?"
"Oh, gosh, that's so nice of you, but my teammates are all kind of... "
Gesturing to Mercury behind her, we would see the guy sniff a pair of cowboy boots that made us all feel a certain way. Mainly confusion and minor judgement but...I sorta can't blame him. Real leather, fresh out the cabin boots are just...nice~
"...introverted. REALLY socially awkward..."
"Ooh, yeah, I could see that..."
"Oh yeah, looks like Merc and I are going to move on to the doubles round. What about you guys?"
Suddenly, Emerald shifted the towards the new brackets just made thanks to each victorious team so far.
"Well, as the leader of this team, I thought long and hard about this decision-"
"WE put it to a vote."
"I wasn't there but I can attest to the fact that our fair and powerful leader did NOT and could not come up with such a larger decision on her own."
Before Ruby could go on a megalomaniacal spree, Weiss and I shot down that concept almost immediately. One that Ruby would nervous try to continue her megalomaniacal spree.
"Y-Yes, so! But I decided that we should put it to a vote!"
"We voted for Weiss and Yang."
Blake did a good thing but interjecting to stop the Tyrannical Little Red. Something that soon led to Weiss giving a small curtsy gesture whilst Yang punched her fists together.
"I will happily represent Team RWBY."
"Yeah, we're going to kick some butt!"
"Damn. All this ass kicking makes me wants to nightshift at Vale PD...I really must be straining myself..."
Emerald would let out a laugh that honestly caught me off guard as I even jumped a bit in place. Weiss even gave me a small stare and cock of her eyebrow.
"Alright, well we're going to catch some more fights!"
"Have fun!"
"See you later!"
Right after, Emerald would leave with a small wave that was a met with an enthusiastic upwards throw of her arm wave by Ruby.
~Third Person~
"I'll have a bowl of the regular, please!"
"Oohhh... I'll take the same!"
Now sitting on the stools of a stand named "A Simple Wok", Team RWBY and Pilot were prepared to enjoy a well-earned meal. Especially the former with the latter sitting next to Blake on the other stool to her right. Take note though that this stand was owned by none other than the Shopkeeper...the same one that gave the Pilot the dance clothes...On command and request, Ruby and Yang would have two large bowls of noodles slide in front of them.
"Do you have anything with a low-salt-? Oh! Uhm...okay..."
For Weiss, she was semi-rudely cut off by a bowl of what seemed like the same noodles the sisters were given slid up to her. However, Blake came next as she simply gave the old man a simple nod as he returned with one of his own. In a matter a second, he came back and slid a bowl with a whole fish in it as Blake's eyes sparkled as a small bead of drool popped up at the corner of her mouth.
"You know me, old man...Also, I'll be paying separate. I would reward the nice gals but SOMEBODY says they'll stop visiting me on my lunch hour if I do..."
Looking at Weiss, the Heiress would grin as (Y/N) couldn't help but chuckle as the old man pulled the same stunt. Running into the back and coming back out a second later with a bowl of noodles, beef, chicken, some salmon and a rice patty. Smirking at the bowl, (Y/N) then held out a lien card out to the man as he collected a card from Weiss.
"Aw, Weiss! What's the occasion!?"
"Consider it thanks for sending me to the doubles round~"
Right when the Pilot was about to begin eating, his card flew at him with a receipt taped around it. Catching it quickly with a set of chopsticks as he snickered. However, everybody was shocked when Weiss's card imbed itself into the table in front of her as the old man pointed at the register to show her card was declined.
"What?! How can my card be declined? I was barely into my monthly allowance!"
A sneaky cat by the name of Blake would take this moment to try and sneakily steal the bowl of fish noodles in front of the old man. Something that didn't go unpunished as he zoomed in, took the noodles and zoomed away as Blake was surprised. Keeling over the table with a dramatic and saddened "no" of pure defeat. That's when Beacon's, Canadian in another world, Spartan came into view with a more than very option.
"Maybe I could help?"
Turning towards her, Team RWBY, not the Pilot given he was eating his bowl of protein rather loudly, would be met with Team JNPR. All of which were heading towards the stand. With Pyrrha giving the team a nice wave whilst Nora walked next to her with a giddy swing of her arms A sight that was more than welcomed by Ruby-
"Pyrrha!"
"Aw, you don't have to-"
"But she could!"
-and, more than gladly, Blake as she interjected with a set of crazy eyes that made Weiss recoil back in shock.
"Well, I think you all earned it after that battle~!"
"Mind if we join you~!?"
Jaune said happily as the next moment? All of them were done eating with Ruby, Blake and Yang being content whilst Weiss held a hand over her stomach. She was obviously less than enthused about how full she was. Them came Team JNPR with the leader of the team slouched over the table while groaning as Pyrrha was kindly content. Nora on the other hand would give her stomach a nice pat as she was perfectly happy and Ren was the complete opposite as hd sat with a fist to his face. Not because he was aching like Jaune but, because he was a more reserved kind of person. Unlike the Pilot who was practically boxing with a ghost as he chuckled happily.
"Are you sure it's wise to have eaten before a fight?"
"Hah! Pal? I'm not going to face off with anybody today but, hot damn do I feel good! Ora!"
Giving the air a heavy uppercut as the Shopkeeper collected the bowls, the Pilot would slip on over and stop the opd man from grabbing his by a hand over his hand. Holding up some spare lien? He gave them to the man as a nice tip before sitting down with a nice thud and spin.
"Of course! It will give us energy~!"
Pyrrha end of her statement was met by Nora giving out a loud and heavy burp that caused everyone to be frightened a little. However, as Ruby giggled softly, Jaune had a hand over his mouth as if ready to hurl.
"If I barf, I'm blaming you..."
"Vomit Boy Three: Revenge of the Noodles."
The Pilot had to stifle some of his immature laughter as Ruby did the same yet, Nora would gain an evil grin as she lurched over the table.
"Oh! Aim at the enemy~!"
"Nora...! That's disgusting...but, if you feel the urge..."
"Hm. Sun Tzu must be rolling in his grave right about now. Poor guy."
With a shake of his head as if genuinely saddened, the Pilot would then accompany Jaune as the two gave a thumbs up. The latter's being a bit weaker, though. Pyrrha soon stood from her stool with a kind smile.
"Well, we should be off!"
"So, you think you guys are ready-?"
"Oh no..."
"Of course! We've got a world-renowned fighter on our team, one's basically ninja, I can bench five of me! Jaune-...! We trained all year! Our weapons are awesome' Glynda barely yells at us anymore! And uh... Jaune!"
Nora would gesture to each to her teammates yet, the ones made towards Jaune were less than grand. Something the Pilot hissed at with a semi-stifled chuckle as he stood up too yet, he was far from leaving since he only walked over behind and leant down. Placing his chin on top of her right shoulder as she simply giggled before reaching up. Gently caressing the side of his cheek as he practically melted with a goofy smile.
"Mm...that was fucked up..."
This comment would read him with a soft slap to the cheek that made him snicker.
"Are you gonna take that?"
"She's not wrong..."
"Mm...Everybody seems to be forgetting about what he did to that Ursa a while back. Not to mention, the fact he stood up to Cardin. And he also has a innate ability for natural leadership and pairing...Did you get a manicure, Weiss?"
"Mm-hm~ Glad you noticed~"
To try and bring Jaune's hopes up, the Pilot would sing his praises yet, quickly folded under the might of what is physical affection. However, Nora wanted to make sure that nothing was wrong...!
"I'm kidding! He knows I'm kidding! Don't be so nervous! The worst that can happen is we lose! That is just a few more years of walking around school with everyone knowing we're failures! Our friends will slowly abandon us to preserve their social status! We won't be able to show our faces in class, no one will sit with us in the cafeteria, Ren and I have no parents, we have no home left to go to, we'll be officially renamed Team Lose-iper!"
As Nora delve deeper and deeper into her own madness and anxiety, everybody would just witness how her eyes narrowed. Even the color began to fade away as she turned into nothing but a grey shell of herself that laughed maniacally before bursting into sobbing. All this would just stir up the Pilot anxiousness too as he didn't know how she did that in one breath AND made herself turn grey. Literally.
"So, yeah, we're feeling pretty good."
"Like hell you are!"
"My ear, you dolt!"
There came a yelp and whack followed by a grunt from the Pilot after Ren's words mirrored Nora.
"Don't fret. If anything, we should be looking forward to a fight with actual guidelines and not, well, ...murderers."
"Yeah, don't sweat it! We've all faced way worse before."
"Let's see. Grimm invasions, violent extremists, a destructive sociopath..."
"Eh true...Especially me. Bleugh. I still have a weird ionized taste in my mouth..."
Team RWBY and the Pilot began to mirror Team JNPR's successes with examples of the past. Ones that still left their mark to even today. However, some also secured JNPR's place as an easy-going yet, successful team as well given how they were quick to jump into the fray during the Breach.
"And that's all while were still in training! Oh, imagine what it would be like to graduate!"
"Maybe then I'll be able to pay for a meal..."
"Until then, I don't mind tossing in a few bucks for ya, love~"
(Y/N) would bring out the South African accent he had learned from his short time with Blisk much to Weiss's dismay. A dismay that came in the form of her turning dark red as he snickered. Yet the moment between the teams was disrupted when the intercom crackled alive.
"Would Team JNPR please report to the battlegrounds immediately!"
"Yes! Like they were scheduled to, several minutes ago!"
"Well, it looks like this is it!"
"Eh. They say that but you're late by a minute. Hurry on though. I'll be up in the-"
Suddenly, the Pilot's scroll sprang to life as he would pull it out to see a message from Detective Strongheart that read; "hey heyyyyyy funky guy! Bishop wants ya in soon. Says they got a tip about some group looking to score more than tickets at the festival." Sighing out after pocketing his scroll, he stood up as Weiss gave him a questioning look.
"What happened?"
"The-so lame-JVFTF called me in. Need a helping hand."
"Awwwwe! That means Port and Oobleck are going to bore us to death!"
Nora's complaints were only met with small chuckles from the Pilot as the Pilot leant down and gave Weiss a kiss on the forehead. Something that made her instantly perk up as the young boy stuck out his fists to given Yang and Blake a fist-bump. For Ruby? He placed his hand upon her head and ruffled up her hair as she let out a playful groan. Following after Team JNPR, they were sent away with a cheery "good luck" from Ruby.
