It was morning time and Team RRWBY was walking through the streets of Vale and saw people setting up for the local festival. Weiss began talking about the festival and how fun it is to plan and all Rex had to say was,
"Wow. Way to take something simple and make it boring, Ice Queen."
"Stop calling me that" complained Weiss
"Then stop being one, ok" snapped Rex. They continued to walk until they came to the docks.
"Why are we spending our time at the docks" said Yang.
"I'm pretty sure Ice Queen over there just wants scope out the competition" smirked Rex.
"I'm going to singe your hair off of you keep calling me that."
"Then quit being to high and mighty, you royal pain in the butt."
Weiss just scoffed and walked away from him.
Rex put his arms on the fence and looked out to the sea. He then felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see a certain blonde, smirking at him.
"So have you been enjoying your time here" she said.
"Well it's not boring, except for the classes, but not too bad" said Rex, remembering his time here.
Ruby then ran up to Rex begging to him saying
"When are you going to tell us your powers. I'm dying to know" said Ruby as she got in her knees. Rex knew that he would have to eventually tell them but it had to be at the right time.
"In do time, kid. But let's try and have some fun at this festival thing and..." Rex stopped talking as he looked over and saw a store was broken into and police tape covered it.
"What happened here" said Rex as the team walked over to it.
"Robbery. Second dust shop this week" said an officer as he walked away. He then heard them say "white fang" and that seemed to stir up trouble as Weiss said "what a bunch of degenerates".
"What's your problem" replied Blake.
The team had continued to fight among themselves until they heard someone yell
"Stop that Faunus" as they looked back at the boat and saw a monkey man jumping off the boat and onto the deck, continuing to run.
He continued to run up the stairs and ran past team RRWBY. "Well Weiss, you wanted to find the competition and there it goes" said Rex as he watched the chase.
"Quick, we must observe him" Weiss said as she ran after him and the others followed her. They ran around the street until Weiss turned a corner and ran into someone.
Weiss looked up and saw the boy got away.
"Drat. He got away" said Weiss as she continued to look ahead until Yang said
"Uhh. Weiss" as she pointed to the girl underneath her
She was about the same age as Weiss, short orange hair, light colored skin, green eyes, with a light tan shirt and black pants with green lines on it, and pink bow in her hair.
Weiss got up in shock and the girl on the ground only said "Salutations" as she smiled.
"Umm hi" said Ruby.
"Are you ok" said Yang with concern and confusion.
All the girl said was "I am great. Thanks for asking." The team just looked at each other in confusion and Yang looked at her saying "do you want to get up?"
The red head looked up at them and smiled saying "yes. Yes I do" then she flipped herself up onto her feet. The team took a step back except Rex.
"My name is Penny. It's a pleasure to meet you" said the girl in a cheerful voice.
"Hey Penny. Names Rex" as he held out his hand for a handshake. Penny held out her hand to and shook his hand like crazy.
"Ok that's enough shaking" stuttered Rex as he pulled away and held his hand, feeling numbness in his hand.
"Ahem. Anyways. This is Ruby" as he pointed to her as she said "hello",
"Weiss" as she bowed her head in hello.
"Blake" as she just waved
"And this is Yang"
"Are you sure you didn't hit your head" said Yang as Blake hit her arm.
"Oh, right. Ummm, hello" as she blushed in embarrassment.
"It's a pleasure to meet you" said Penny as Weiss just said "you already said that."
"So I did" as Penny still smiled as she looked at them.
Being weirded out by her except for Rex, the team turned back while saying their goodbyes as Ruby said "so long friend."
"Yep, see ya pal" finished Rex. As the team turned the corner the girls began talking about their strange encounter.
"Well she was weird" said Yang while Rex nudged her shoulder.
"Stop calling her that. She seems nice. And trust me, I've met weirder people than that" said Rex as he turned forward and there stood Penny, making Rex jump back in surprise. "Where'd you come from."
"What did you call me" said Penny in stern voice.
"What. I'm sorry I didn't think you heard me" said Yang throwing her hands up in defense.
"No not you" as Penny walked towards Ruby and Rex and said "you two".
"What. What did I say. I don't remember..." stuttered Ruby.
"You called me friend. Am I really your guy's friend" said Penny questioningly. Ruby stuttered and looked Rex then at her team as they made motions to say no, except for Rex. She looked back at Penny and said "Yes. Yes I am" as they girls just fell down, anime style.
"Me too" chimed in Rex.
Penny then threw her hands up and said "sensational" then began rambling on about girl stuff which made Rex feel a little weird until Yang asked "so what are you doing in Vale."
"I'm fighting in the tournament, because I am combat ready" said Penny giving a salute
"Wait. If your in the tournament, then do you know that monkey degenerate."
"The who now" said Penny in confusion.
"The filthy Faunus from the boat" said Weiss holding up a bad sketch of the boy.
"Stop it" yelled Blake.
"Stop what" yelled Weiss.
"Stop calling him degenerate and filthy. He's a person" yelled Blake.
"Oh I'm sorry. Would you like me to stop calling the trash can a trash can. Or this lamp post, a lamp post" replied Weiss.
"Just stop it Weiss" yelled Blake
"Stop what, he clearly broke the law. Give him time and he'll probably just join up with the rest of those Faunus White fang scum" retorted Weiss which caused Blake to clench her fists in anger.
"Ugh, you discriminatory little brat" yelled Blake as she walked away in anger. Weiss followed Blake as they continued to argue with each other.
Yang scooted closer to Ruby and Rex saying "Uh we should probably go."
"Where are we going" said Penny as she hung onto Ruby.
"Hopefully a place that's sound proof" deadpanned Rex.
"I'm sure that this will be done before we know it" said Ruby hoping that this would die down.
Dorms
"Oh how wrong I was" said Ruby as she, Rex, Yang were standing near the door as they kept listening Blake and Weiss continue their fight from Vale to their dorm room.
"You do realize you're defending a group of people that hates humanity. The white fang are pure evil" yelled Weiss.
"There's no such thing as pure evil. Why do you think they hate humanity. It's because of people like Cardin, like you is the reason they do these things" yelled Blake.
"People like me" scoffed Weiss
"You're discriminatory" yelled Weiss.
"I'm a victim" said Weiss as she turned and looked out the window.
"Do you want to know why I hate the White Fang or don't trust Faunus. It's cause they've been fighting with my family for years. My grandpa's company has had a target on its back as long as I remember. I've seen family members disappear and it made my father mad. You want to know why I despise the white fang. It's because they are a bunch of liars and thieves.
"Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around" screamed Blake.
She then just realized what she said and saw the others expressions. She then turned and bolted for the door but she ended up crashing into Rex as she wasn't looking where she was going.
Blake got up and accidentally stepped on his knee. Rex yelled at the pain as Blake just said "I'm so sorry Rex" then bolted out the door as ruby told her to wait, while Rex just grunted in pain.
Yang and Ruby ran over to Rex as Yang said "are you alright, Rex" as she held out her hand and pulled him up.
"Well she got my nose with her forehead so it hurts a little. And when Blake ran she stomped on my knee. So that's going to hurt for while. So I guess all I can say is... way to go, Ice Queen" said Rex with frustration in his voice.
"Why do you keep calling me that. And didn't you here what she said" retorted Weiss.
"1. I've heard everything you've guys said since Vale.
2.Yes I did. I don't know what she was meaning by what she said but I don't care. So clearly what you were saying triggered her. And you wonder why I call you ice queen" said Rex in a stern voice.
"All I said was why I hate the white fang and faunas's and she ran away. I don't see what the big problem is" said Weiss in her "higher than mighty" attitude.
Rex looked at her with disbelief in his eyes then sighed in annoyance, then said to Weiss.
"Ok that's it. I've had it with you" boomed Rex, shocking everyone in the world.
"I don't care if you've had a great life or and is related to whatever kind of company you're from, but this is not how you should talk to a teammate. I don't care if something might've happened in your life that turned you into this, bratty rude little princess but it is not ok to take your frustrations out on your teammate. That's not a friend or partner at all" yelled Rex, trying to get his point to Weiss.
"I'm going out there and try and help Blake and see what's wrong. In the mean time, you think of a way to apologize to her" yelled Rex as he turned around walked to the door before mumbling "jerk" and slammed the door shut, leaving two shocked teammates and another teammate feeling down on herself.
"Blake, Blake. Where are you" yelled Rex as he looked for her. He figured she was still running so he formed his wings and took off to the skies.
It was dark so he used his googles for night vision. He continued to look and search for her but couldn't find her anywhere. He was coming closer to Vale and decided to stop for a while. He spotted a building nearby and set himself down on the roof. He deactivated his wings and looked out at the town.
"How am I going to find her at this time of night" said Rex.
He then just scratched his head at his misfortune. While he was worried about his teammate, he still kept thinking about his other troubles. Troubles that were still left unanswered. Questions, questions, questions. That's all he had since he was dropped in this weird world. The more he thought about this world, the more the problems were there and how much they just added to his anger.
Grimm, discrimination, him being there, and probably a whole lot of other stuff that he didn't know about.
"Ugh I'm stuck in this crazy world and I don't even know why I'm here" said Rex as he gritted his teeth in frustration and yelled
"What is wrong with this world." He clutched his hands in anger then slammed his fists down on the roof in anger. So many unanswered questions and no one to give him those answers. Tears flowed from his eyes as he thought of the thing that stung him the most about his whole predicament.
He was more farther away from his friends and family now than he had ever been before. It was the thing that stung the most to him. After the Black Consortium, he thought that things would be ok from then on. And they were. He still had his friends Noah and Bobo, his family figures, Six and Holiday, and he and his brother were finally together again. But now, he was far away from them.
His tears were then stopped by the sounds of shoes walking and he quickly lifted his head up as he heard man in a British sounding voice saying,
"There's many things wrong with this world, my dear Mr. Salazar. More than it would like to admit to, I'm afraid" said the voice as Rex turned around and saw a man walking around a corner wall. He could see the man clearly. He wore a white lab coat, Orange vest, black shoes, pants and tie, and had a pair of green goggles hanging from his neck.
"Who are you" said Rex, getting into a defensive stance.
"There's no need to be so hostile, Mr Salazar" said the man surprising Rex.
"How do you know my name. I've never met you."
The man pulled out a watch, looked at it and said "well of course I know about you. After all I brought you to this world" causing Rex's eyes to widen in shock and fear. The man then continued.
"My name is Professor Paradox" he said as he looked up from his watch "and we have much to discuss."
