Volume 2 Chapter 1: Best Day Ever
((No one's P.O.V))
A bullhead can be seen flying in the skies as we take our attention to the newly re-opened Dust Till Dawn. The Old Man who runs the shop finish's hanging up a banner the reads "Newly Re-opened!". He starts to climb down the ladder he used to hang up the sign. He lets out a grunt as he hits the ground. "Excuse me! Sorry!" a mint haired girls says to the Old Man before holding her hand out. "I'm not really from here" she says as the Old Man takes her hand. She helps him up before holding out a piece of paper with an address on it. "Um, would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?" she asks the Old Man. The Old Man nods before telling her the directions. She waves bye before walking off. She walks past a silver haired boy leaning against the wall of the shop with his arms crossed. "I knew you were lost" he says to the girl as she walks past him. The girl walks up to the boy "Mercury. I will seriously pay you to shut up" the girl says pulling out the Old Mans wallet she stole, before waving it in Mercury's face. "That's not your money" Mercury reply's shaking his head. "But it could be yours for five minutes of silence" the girl offers. Mercury looks up like he's thinking "Mmm... No deal" Mercury reply's rejecting the offer. "Hmph. Fine" the girl says taking out one bill of Lien and throwing it on the ground before walking away. "Whatever. You want me" Mercury reply's before letting out a chuckle and following the girl. The two continued to walk down the streets of Vale making their way to the shop the girl asked the Old Mad about. "So how much farther?" Mercury asks. "A few blocks" the girl reply's. "Uhh, this place is so dull" Mercury complains. "Meh. I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture" the girl says. "And nice, dopey people who are easy to pickpocket" Mercury finishes. "That's every city" the girl reply's stopping and putting her hands on her hips. "Oh Emerald! Master Thief! Please don't take my money! I barley have enough to get by!" Mercury whine's before gaining a smirk on his face. Emerald just growls before walking off. Mercury sighs "You're no fun today" Mercury says shaking his head before following behind Emerald. The two finally arrive at the shop they were looking for. It was called "Tukson's Book Trade". The two look at each other before walking in. Mercury stops and takes a look at a book as Emerald walks up to the till desk. She rings the bell "Be right there!" a voice calls as Emerald and Mercury look at each other. A man comes out of swings open doors behind the desk while carrying two stacks of books. "Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade! Home to every book under the sun. How may - -uh..." Tukson stops and looks at Mercury and Emerald. "How may I help you?" Tukson asks. "Just browsin'" Mercury reply's slamming a book shut before putting it back. "Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of The Thief And The Butcher?" Emerald asks leaning on the desk Tukson was behind. "Yes, we do" Tukson reply's. "That's great!" Emerald says. "Would you... like a copy?" Tukson asks a little confused. "No. Just wondering" Emerald reply's as Mercury slams another book shut. "Oh, oh! What about "Violet's Garden?"? In paperback?" Emerald asks yet another question. "He's got it. Hardback too" Mercury reply's holding up Violet's Garden. "Ooh, options are nice" Emerald says. "Ehh, no pictures" Mercury says slamming the book shut and throwing it into a bin of books "Hey! Do you have any Spider-Huntsman comics?" Mercury asks Tukson. "Yeah, near the front" Tukson reply's. "Oh! No, wait" Emerald says enthusiastically as Tukson looks at her. "What about Thrid Crusade?l Emerald asks. "Umm..." Tukson says before looking at Mercury, and then back at Emerald. "I... don't believe we carry that one" Tukson reply's. Mercury slams yet another book shut "Oh" he simply says. "What was this place called again?" Emerald asks. "Tukson's Book Trade" Tukson answers. "And... You're Tukson?" Emerald asks yet again. "That's right" Tukson reply's. "So then I take it that you're the one who came up with the catchphrase?" Emerald asks. "Yes" Tukson simply reply's. "And what was it again?" Mercury asks shrugging. Tukson sighs ""Tukson's Book Trade: home to every book under the sun"" Tukson repeats the catchphrase he said early. "Expect the Third Crusade" Mercuy says pointing at Tukson with a smirk. "It's just a catchphrase" Tukson says. "It's false advertising!" Mercuy reply's. "You shoudn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson. I hear you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo. Your brothers in the White Fang wouldn't be happy to hear that. And neither are we" Emerald says as Mercury dims the lights of the windows looking into the shop. "You know who we are. Don't you?" Emerald asks Tukso. "Yes" he reply's. "And you know why we're here?" Emerald asks again. "Yes" Tukson reply's again. Mercury walks up behind Emerald "So. Are you going to fight back?" Emerald asks a final question. "Yes!" Tukson yells before claws come out of his nails. He jumps up on the desk he was behind as Mercury and Emerald start to walk back. He jumps forward going for a slash on Emerald. She simply ducks underneath him. Tukson looks up to see Mercury. Mercury superkicks him in the face while shooting a bullet from the bottom of his shoe.
((Later))
Emerald opens the door to Tukson's Book Trade and walks out with Mercury behind her. She stretches before looking over to Mercury. "What's with that?" she asks Mercury, who's reading a comic. "Eh, I like the pictures" he reply's before closing the comic.
((Meanwhile at Beacon))
Blake looks at some doodles she made in her text book. "Whatcha doin?" Yang asks. "Nothing. Just looking over notes from last semester" Blake reply's. Yang catches a grape in her mouth the flew across the room. "Lame!" Yang reply's with her mouth full. Nora flicks another grape over from the table infront of Yang, Weiss and Blake. Yang catches this one in her mouth as well. A big thud can be heard as Ruby places down a huge binder labeled "Best Day Ever Activites!". Ruby coughs "Sisters! Friends! Weiss... "Ruby says. "Hey!" Weiss exclaims. "Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream" Ruby says. "This oughta be good" Yang says to Blake before catching another grape in her mouth. "A dream that one day, the four of us would come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had, ever!" Ruby exclaims. "Did you steal me binder?" Weiss asks. "I am not a crook" Ruby reply's. "What are you talking about?" Blake asks. "I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby reply's. "I always kick my semester off with a Yang!" Yang jokes. "Ehh!? Guys? Am I right?" she says looking around for approval. An apple hits her head "Booooooooooo!" Nora can be heard calling. "Look guys, its been a good two weeks, and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our semester is going to be great! But classes start back up tomorrow. Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today" Ruby says. "I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store" Weiss reply's. Yang throws an apple at back at Nora, instead of hitting Nora, it hits Ren's food. "Hey!" He exclaims. "I don't know. I think I might sit this one out" Blake says to Weiss. "Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day we should do it as a team" Weiss reply's. "I got it!" Nora exclaims as Yang shakes her hands in a no motion. "I for one think that- -" before she can finish, Weiss gets hit in the face with a pie. Team RWBY looks over to Team JNPR to see Jaune surprised, Pyrrha covering her mouth, Ren holding his head, and Nora pointing at Ren.
((Outside the cafeteria))
"Heh, man, that's harsh" a blue haired boy walking beside Sun reply's. "So there we were fighting side by side and she was super fast and I threw a banana at a guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome!" Sun says recalling what happened two weeks ago. "Nice!" the blue haired boy reply's. "Sup guys?" A vocie calls. The two look over to see (Y/N) with a black haired girl. "(Y/N)! How's it been?" Sun asks. "Pretty calm after what happened two weeks ago" (Y/N) reply's. "And who's the new girlfriend?" Sun asks. (Y/N) lets out a laugh "This is Misty. She'll be part of my team, the last two are making their way here from Atlas" he reply's. "Awesome! Oh, this is one of my teammates. (Y/N), Neptune. Neptune, (Y/N)" Sun introduces. "Sup?" Neptune says, particularly looking at Misty. "Um, uh-" Misty could only say before Sun interrupted, talking about what happened at the docks. "Was he trying to?" Misty asks (Y/N). "Seems like Jaune's gonna have a new lover boy rival" (Y/N) reply's. "What?" Misty asks confused. "Ah, nothing" (Y/N) reply's. "Woah, chill out man, okay? I got it. I got it" Neptune says as him and Sun stop along with (Y/N) and Misty. "You better" Sun says. "Pfft" Neptune scoughs. "I just don't wanna screw this up, ya know?" Sun says as him, Neptune, (Y/N) and Misty follow him. "The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys" Sun says. "None taken" Neptune reply's. "Okay, 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 asks as him and the others stop. "Dude......." Neptune says as he crosses arms and smiles, a gleam appears from one of his teeth. "...He's got a point" (Y/N) says. The door to the cafeteria opens as the four students slide in with smiles on their faces. The closes and immediately gets open by other students running past the four, yelling "Food Fight!"

((Okay. So from now on, I'm gonna just add videos for most of the fight scenes. I will write the ones with (Y/N) in them obviously. Along with some other fights. This will mostly be done cause I want too get chapters out faster. If you want me to write the fight scenes, just let me know in the comments!))
"I love these guys" Sun says as him, (Y/N) and Misty look over at Neptune to see him covered in dried soda. The door to the cafeteria bursts open as Glynda walks in with an angry look on her face. Some food and plates fly towards her. She uses her telekinetic semblance to throw the food and plates back. All the tables and benches fly up into the air along with other items and food. They all land back into the place they were originally left in before the Food Fight. "Children, please. Do not play with your food" Glynda says with irritation in her voice before adjusting her glasses. Nora burps as Yang makes another whole in the roof, this time, crashing beside her teammates. Glynda growls as the eight students laugh. Ozpin walks up behind her and puts his left hand on Glynda's shoulder. "Let it go" Ozpin says as Glynda lets out a deep breath. "They're supposed to be the defenders of the world" Glynda reply's looking at the eight students having a fun time. "And they will be. But right now they're still children. So why not let them play the part?" Ozpin says before walking back. "After all- - it isn't a role they'll have forever..."
((Later that night))
Mercury and Emerald arrive at an old warehouse with a bullhead landed inside, while White Fang members unload the cargo from the bullhead. Mercury and Emerald walk past all of the Faunus and to the back of the warehouse, where one, Roman Torchwick is looking at a framed map of Vale with red writing all over it. "Oh look, they sent the kids again" Roman says walking up behind Mercuy and Emerald. "This is turning out just like the divorce" he says wrapping his arms around Mercury and Emerald's head's. "Ugh" Emerald groans as her and Mercury remove his arms. "Spare us the thought of you procreating" Emerald reply's. "That was a joke. And this-" Roman says slipping out the piece of paper out of his glove, the one Emerald had early, with Tukson's Book Trade address on it. "Just might tell me where you two have been all day" Roman says turning around. "What?" Emerald exclaims checking her pockets. "I'm a professional sweetheart. Pay attention, mabey you'll learn something... Why do you have this address?" Roman asks in a serious tone of voice. "Wouldn't you like too know?" Emerald reply's as Roman walks up to her. "Yeah, I would. Now, where have you been all day?" Roman asks. "Cleaning up your problems. One of them at least" Mercury cuts in. "I had that under control" Roman reply's with an annoyed tone of voice. "Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise" Mercury says. "Listen you little punk, if it were up to me I would take you and your little street-rat friend here, and I would-" before Roman can finishs, a voice interrupts him. "Do what, Roman?" a womans voice echoes. The three look up to see a red clothed woman and a man wearing a brown sweater with white fur around the hood of it walk onto the elevator to the small bridges around the warehouse. The elevator lowers as Roman starts to laugh nervously "I'd uh... not kill them" he reply's nervous. "Cinder! (Y/N)!" Emerald says happily. "I thought I made it clear that you were to eliminate the would-be runaway" Cinder says as her and (Y/N) walk up to Roman. "I was going to!" Roman reply's. "He was going to escape to Vacuo. Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat" Emerald explains. "I think he was some sort of cat, actually" Mercury reply's to Emerald. "What, Like a puma?" Emerald asks Mercury. "Yeah, there ya go" Mercury reply's. "Quite" (Y/N) says to the two. "Didn't we tell you two to keep your hands clean, and your pockets empty while in Vale?" (Y/N) asks Mercury and Emerald as Roman points at the two. "I just thought- -" before Emerald could finish, (Y/N) interrupted. "Don't think. Obey" (Y/N) says gaining a smirk on his face as Roman pretends to slit his throat with his fingers. "Yes sir. It won't happen again" Emerald reply's. "And you" Cinder says as her and (Y/N) turn their attention to Roman, who laughs nervously yet again. "Why wasn't this job done sooner?" Cinder asks. "Uh... Eh? Ehhhh? EHHHHHHHHH!?" Roman exclaims pointing out all of the containers, boxes, and crates that were filled with Dust. "Sorry if I've been a little busy stealing every speck of Dust in the Kingdom!" Roman says. "You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski-mask" Mercury comments. "Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared. Police camping out at every corner. Dust prices through the roof. And we're sitting pretty in an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with. Speaking of which. If you four wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand-master plan, it might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother" Roman finishes with a bit of anger in his voice. "Oh, Roman. Have a little faith" Cinder says walking up to him. "You'll know what you need when you need to know" Cinder says putting her right hand on Romans left mouth cheek. As her eyes start to glow a flame orange. Roman just scoughs. "Besides. We're finished with Dust" (Y/N) says as Cinder walks towards him. "Okay. Then what now?" Roman asks as Mercury and Emerald look at each other. "We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this warehouse. I'll send you details and coordinates later tonight" (Y/N) reply's as him and Cinder start to walk away. "Coordinates?" Roman asks confused. (Y/N) and Cinder stop. (Y/N) turns around "We're executing phase two" (Y/N) answers. Roman groans as Mercury and Emerald follow the two. Roman takes out a cigar and looks for his lighter, he hears it open and looks up to see Emerald with it in her hand. Emerald sticks out her tongue before closing the lighter...
