A few weeks had gone by since the fight with Torchwick and Team RRWBY had finally come back to Beacon after their semester break. Even though Rex did have fun at his teammates house, he still hated that it was a break, meaning that he had to go back to the academy. He already had something important to worry about. Salem.
He had been trying to figure out what it was Paradox meant by "this world needed him. He knew it wasn't the grimm. He knew the others could take them down. The only lead he had was with what he told him, Salem. Rex knew that if this villain was as bad as Paradox says and he needed the Meta-nanties in order to defeat her then he was scared to get his friends involved. He knew they can fight but with the possible threat looming ahead of them, he thought it'd be best just to keep them out of it. Not to mention that ever since he had found out he ended up on the news, he had been getting more attention in Beacon. People kept asking what it was like out in the field and that just gave him more head aches. But some people had became wary of him. And the constant attention caused him to lose focus on his studies.
That was one of the things he didn't enjoy about this world. School work. Even far from his own world, he couldn't even escape school. Bad enough Dr. Holiday had tried tutoring him in school work ever since he had a good score on a trigonometry test to play in a ping pong tournament, but now he had to do it again and he had no choice but to do it. And he had trouble sleeping, thinking about his problems.
Cafeteria
Team RRWBY, minus Rex, were currently sitting in the cafeteria with Team JNPR. Blake was looking at a book with details of things she wishes she could forget.
"Whatcha doin" said Yang as scooted closer to Blake. She quickly reacted and shut her book saying ,
"Just looking over notes from last semester."
Yang moved over quickly as she caught a grape that Nora flung.
"Boring" said Yang.
Jaune looked at team RRWBY and noticed they were missing the other R. "Hey where's Rex. Isn't he suppose to be here."
"Well Sun had stopped by earlier and said he wanted Rex to meet one of his teammates. He said his name was Neptune and he also said that he knew that they'll get along. So he'll be here shortly."
They were then all interrupted by a giant "BAMM" as it shook the table and drawing their attention to the front of the table as to see Ruby had dropped a big book on it.
"Sisters, friends,... Weiss."
"Hey" whined Weiss.
"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream."
"This should be interesting" said Yang as she caught another grape.
"A dream that the four, Sorry, 5 of us would become a team and have the most fun any team had ever had... EVER" said Ruby with excitement.
"Did you steal my binder" was all Weiss said.
"I was meaning staring off this semester with a bang" cheered Yang.
"I always start off a semester with a... Yang" punned Yang as she tried to get a standing ovation by saying,
"Huh. Huh. Come on guys" said Yang waiting for laughter but just got an apple to the head followed by a "booooo" from Nora.
"Guys it's been a good few weeks and with more exchange students coming and the tournament at the end of the year, our semester is going to be great but classes start tomorrow, which is why I've made a list of fun activities to do today" said Ruby.
"I don't know whether to be happy or scared of what you have in store" said Weiss as Yang just threw an apple back at Nora.
"I think I'll just sit this one out" said Blake holding her book.
"Well I think that not matter what, whatever we do, it will be fun as a..." SPLAT went a pie at Weiss's face. The team looked at JNPR and saw Nora hiding behind Ren.
Meanwhile outside
Outside Beacon Dining Hall, Sun and Rex were walking next to a teenage boy with tan skin, dark-blue eyes and messy light-blue hair that is shaved on the sides and in the back, aka, an undercut.
He wears a white dress shirt and black tie under a red jacket adorned with a wide, upturned, black collar, and a silver reticle across the back. He also sports a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides, as well as black shoes fastened with straps instead of laces.
His notable accessories within his attire include black fingerless gloves and a pair of yellow-tinted goggles typically worn on his forehead. However, when necessary, he won't hesitate to make practical use of the latter, protecting his eyes from wind and sand in high-speed chases and battles.
This is Neptune Vasilias, Sun's best friend and teammate of Team SSSN at Haven Academy.
Right Now, they are walking while Sun told Neptune about Rex's powers. Of course, he didn't believe him until Rex formed his Boogie pack and flew into the sky and then landed with his Punk Busters. Neptune was shocked at what he saw and tried asking him what his powers were. Rex just said "I got them from a crackerjack box" said, not wanting to spill his secrets to some one he just met. Neptune just chuckled at his response.
He was also surprised to see someone else but him wearing goggles. The two instantly hit off as they began describing what their goggles can do. Sun just chuckled at how nerdy the two were being. They got closer to the cafeteria as Sun continued the battle story at the docks.
"Man, that's harsh." Neptune commented about something Sun said to him.
"I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, until he threw a fireball, but it was awesome!" Sun explained, ranting about the recent events that happened.
"Nice!" Neptune commented.
"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus" as he then realized he done goofed.
"Way to got there genius" said Rex sarcastically.
"But that's a secret, okay?" Sun asked, serious that Neptune won't tell Blake's secret.
"Got it." Neptune replied before Sun leans in close in order to stress the importance of this secret.
"And not a, "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret", I'm talking secret secret." Sun added, completely serious about keeping Blake's secret well a secret.
"Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it. I got it!" Neptune replied as he almost whispered as he and Sun continued to walk.
"You better." Sun said, not seeing the windows into the cafeteria where food splatters into the panes as students run around. At one point, Jaune is the one splattered into the window.
"I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys." Sun said.
"None taken." Neptune replied.
"They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?" Sun asked.
"Come on man. Dudes already cool. He got the goggles so you know he's going to be chill" said Rex with his hand on Neptune's shoulder as Neptune nodded in response.
"You two are dorks" said sun giggling.
"Hey" said Neptune as Rex put his arm in front of him saying,
"It's not worth it man. He just doesn't get us" said Rex.
"Yea you're right. Not worth the effort" huffed Neptune.
The three of them walk in and as they entered the Dining Hall where the students were screaming.
"Food Fight!" the students of Beacon cried out before all students are shown stampeding out the door past Sun and Neptune, the latter of whom is looking quite worried.
All that is not are the remaining members of Team RWBY and JNPR.
"Ahahahaha!" Nora laughed from her position that she and her teammates were in right now.
Team JNPR are shown to be standing atop a tower of tables stacked in a ramshackle manner.
"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora sing-songed at the top.
Ruby then stomped on the table, causing some food to fly in the air while she pointed at the opposing team with the shaking of her left index finger and a carton of milk in the other hand while saying.
"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" Ruby began before crushing the milk carton, "IT WILL BE DELICIOUS!" Ruby shouted, fist pumping with the rest of her team.
"Yeah!" Everyone cried out, bursting with energy.
Nora Valkyrie begins the battle, yelling "Off with their heads!" while Team JNPR grabs a ridiculous number of watermelons and starts throwing them at Team RWBY minus the other R.
"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby ordered her older half-sister.
Yang rolled over to the two turkeys from the ground and used them like gloves to punch through the barrage of watermelons thrown off a table by Nora; upon completion, Blake then leaps in front of Yang and picks up two baguettes.
She then throws her turkeys at Pyrrha Nikos, who dodges out of the way and grabs a single baguette, leaving Jaune to take the blows.
Pyrrha and Blake duel in a one-on-one fight and despite Blake's attempt to disorient Pyrrha with her shadows, Pyrrha knocks her back and throws three more baguettes to Yang, with the last knocking her down as well.
Ruby then uses a food tray to slide towards Pyrrha across the table and hits a baguette back at her with the same tray; Pyrrha manages to dodge the shot, but is unable to stop Ruby from knocking her backwards with the same food tray.
Ren and Nora then charge at Ruby, but Weiss intercepts them and uses ketchup to cause Ren to slip and crash with a group tables which are launched because of the impact.
Nora jumps through these tables to grab a metal flag pole and attach a watermelon to it, making a makeshift hammer. She then attacks Weiss but hits Ruby instead, who manages to stand between them to protect her partner from the assault; however, the force of this impact knocks her down. Weiss grabs a swordfish and engages Nora in a one-on-one, but ends up being defeated after Nora throws her against a pillar, knocking her down, and causing the pillar to break. Before the pieces crush Weiss, Ruby jumps in and saves her partner.
"Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me! Nooo!" Ruby cried dramatically as the rest of the pillar fell, creating a bigger mess.
Yang then grabs two more turkeys and duels Ren, who wields a pair of leeks blocking Yang's kick.
Ren manages to recover from the strikes and throws his leeks at the two in the air, but she manages to dodge them while Yang deflected them and then proceeds to finish Ren by jumping high enough to punch him toward the floor, knocking him out.
Nora intervenes immediately afterwards and sends Yang flying through the roof with her makeshift watermelon hammer, but destroys the weapon in the process, leaving her defenseless.
Blake then gets back up to dodge the debris of the roof and grabs a link of sausages. She then whips it at a disarmed Nora, throwing her against two soda machines.
These leaked out some soda cans that Nora throws at Blake, who manages to dodge them all as Pyrrha then uses her Semblance of Polarity on the puddle of soda cans, causing all the soda cans on it to rise after Blake and the boys, barraging them with soda as well as taking them out of the fight.
Ruby, the last remaining member of both, then uses her Semblance of Speed to dash through the food court, causing everything to follow her through the tailwind caused by her overwhelming speed.
She spins like a torpedo, creating a hurricane of food that comes back at JNPR, knocking all four members out. They then peeled off the wall and fell down.
"I love these guys." Sun said while somehow being completely spared from the food fight, but the same cannot be said from Neptune who is covered in purple or grape soda who glared at him. And Rex, who was unfazed since he had formed his block party and kept the food away from him.
Upon the end of the fight is a certain Glynda Goodwitch entering the room growling.
She then proceeds to use her Semblance of Telekinesis to reorganize the Dining Hall.
"Children, please. Do not play with your food!" Glynda stated as she adjusted her glasses.
Her dramatic moment was ruined by Nora burps aloud as both Teams JNPR and RWBY try and fail to compose themselves as a screaming Yang then crashes from the ceiling into one of the tables.
Glynda grumbles as Ozpin approaches with the final members of Team 10 who are wearing the Beacon Academy Uniforms, Gabriella after personally giving them a tour of Beacon Academy and places a hand on her shoulder.
"Let it go." Ozpin said appearing out of nowhere.
Sighing from whether she's annoyed or tired is unclear, but the fact remains is she doesn't like how her boss lets these kids get away with things like this.
"They're supposed to be defenders of the world." Glynda stated.
"And they will be, but right now they're still children." the cursed headmaster replied, watching as all the team members were laughing together and having a good time.
"So why not let them play the part?" Ozpin asked, taking his hand off her shoulder.
"After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever." Ozpin added. Then they saw Rex stomping hi way over to his teammates and he seemed be very mad. He glared at them as he said.
"I can't believe that you girls decided to fight your friends over there, cause a ruckus, scare everyone out of the building and think to have a food fight..." scolded Rex at his team.
Ruby tried to say something "uh well... uh you see uh" was all she could say.
"...Without Me" complained Rex. The team's fear turned into glee as they sw that he was joking and smiled at his response and looked toward the opposing team. They then grew a look of fear on their face as they knew that at this point, they were screwed.
Rex stood in front of his team and held his right arm out and formed his Slam Cannon.
The maw on the back opened up and took a big chunk of ground and food saying
"We're going to need a clean up on isle 4" as he shot at JNPR. His team then joined in and began attacking them. This just made Glynda angry and began walking over to the kids, trying to calm them down but they were back too engaged in their food fight.
Ozpin just chuckled as he began walking away from the crowd. Well, tiny crowd of kids.
Meanwhile
Out in a loading area, A grey haired boy named Mercury and a green haired girl named Emerald were walking in as they saw the white fang unload some shipments as they made their way towards Roman, who had a couple of bandages from the dock battle. He turned to them and said
"Oh great. She sent the kids again. Feels just like the divorce" as he draped his arms around their shoulders.
"Ugh. Stop giving us nasty thoughts, will you" groaned Emerald.
"It was a joke. But this might tell me where you've been all day" said Roman holding a white piece of paper. Emerald gasped as she realized she had that in her pocket.
"I'm a professional, sweetheart." He glanced at the paper and said "where did you get this address".
"Wouldn't you like to know" snarked Emerald.
"Yes I would. Now where have you been all day."
"Cleaning up your mess. One of them at least" pointed Mercury at Roman.
"I had that under control" retorted Roman.
"Yea until you got your butt handed to you by a couple of kids" said Emerald.
"And Two tickets and a bag said otherwise" said Mercury.
"Listen here you little punk, if it were up to me I would take you and your little friend here and..."
"Do what Roman" said a voice from above.
"Uh not kill them" said Roman.
"Cinder" said Emerald.
"I thought I told you to eliminate that would be runaway" said Cinder walking towards him.
"Well, I was trying to..."
"He was going to try and escape. Mercury and I thought it would be best to kill the rat" said Emerald acting smug.
"Silence. Didn't I tell you to keep you hands clean while in Vale" scolded Cinder as Roman made hand gestures at the teens.
"Remember don't think. Just obey" said Cinder.
"Yes ma'am" said Emerald backing away.
"And you" said Cinder pointing at him "why wasn't this job done sooner."
Roman relied by pointing at the crates behind him.
"Sorry if I've been busy trying to collect ever dust crystal I could find."
"But you're still missing some" Mercury pointed out.
"Don't start with me on that kid. It's all cause of those stupid kids. And ooh that boy" said Roman as he grumbled at the last bit.
"Yes, we are well aware of your situation, though I have yet to see these strange kids.
"Speaking of which, would it kill you to tell me your grand master plan so then my operations will go a lot smoother" complained Roman.
"Oh Roman. You'll know what you need to know when you need to know. But never mind that. We're done with dust for a while" said Cinder walking away.
"Have the white fang move everything out. I'll send you coordinates."
"Coordinates" questioned Roman as Cinder turned around saying "we are moving into phase 2."
Mercury and Emerald followed her as she continued "As for us three, we are going to Beacon. And I must say I am rather excited this time around."
"Why are you excited to go there of all places" questioned Emerald.
"Because I'm curious as to see this boy that gave Roman quiet the trouble" said Cinder as they got on an airship.
"I'm curious as to see his powers up close in person." Then Cinder finished her sentence in an devious voice.
"I'm curious as to see how well he does in battle" as the door closed and they took off for Beacon.
