Volume 2

Beacon Academy

For the first time, Team KCPL sat together in the cafeteria for their meal.

"Hey guys," Cole sighed as he sat down next to everyone. "This place is like a jungle," he continued. "The students can be pretty weird."

Petra instantly looked up at him in a way that couldn't be tolerated. "Oh, uh...sorry! I meant, everybody.. not just you or... someone similar.

"Watch what you say to your teammates," Kyle replied. " We want her to stay here with us.

"Whatever..." Cole groaned as he took his first bite.

Liam quietly cleared his throat. "Uhm...what he said," looking down at his plate. "Uh.....I mean yeah. S-Sorry." said Cole embarrassingly.

"Things are looking good for the Vytal Festival....not everyone seems to be wanting to meet me," Liam told his friends. "I know we haven't done too much, but I'm glad Petra you've accepted us as your teammates."

Petra looked at him and gave the slightest nod she could.

"The next semester starts tomorrow..." Cole sighed. "LET'S HAVE SOME ACTION!"

Kyle gave a sigh and glanced around to see the normal entourage of the academy.

Most students sat with their teammates, but also with friends from others.

He looked over after finally spotting Team RWBY. His eyes fell on Blake Belladonna.

She was attempting to read something in her textbook as she talked. Yang Xiao Long seemed to be fooling around with Nora Valkyrie from the next table, flinging pieces of food.

"Looking at that Ms.Bowtie?" Cole grinned before fixing Kyle's attention span. "Uh, I was looking at them, yes." Kyle replied quickly. "They really stand out."

"You were LOOKING at HER." Cole continued laughing. "This ain't the first time bro"

"Cole....give it a rest. Maybe some peace and quiet is best." Liam told him suddenly. "And plus....I find myself looking that way often. That Schnee girl.....is quit a sight."

Petra gripped her utensils until they made a grind noise.

Liam quickly noticed and looked over at her.

"Uh, did I say...Schnee...? Sorry I meant....that Nikos girl. She's tough. "

Kyle thought he knew a possibility for Petra's strange behavior and personality, but now had a very good one. "The Schnee Dust Company," he thought. Glazing over at Weiss, he noticed she had a very distinct look. Her skin was fair....and her hair was a pale white. Even though she likely was spoiled beyond belief....she still somehow a sight for sore eyes he had thought.

Then it happened. He completely snapped back to attention. An entire pie had been thrown and was dressing her face.

Then all hell was let loose.

Before anything else was said or done, food came from every direction with screams and shouts from students of every kind.

"FOOD FIGHT! FOOD FIGHT!! the voices rang. Almost everyone ran and made their way out of the cafeteria as table after table was knocked over their heads, others took cover.

"LOOK OUT!" Liam cried.

His teammates all stood behind him as food smashed into the front of his body.

"What the hell!?!" Cole cried. "L-Liam! Look out!"

"I'm fine, just thought I'd be the shield," he moaned, spitting food off his wet face..

"Hahaha!" cried a feminine voice.

Everyone looked to see Team JNPR next to a massive pile of benches with Nora at the very top.

"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" She sang tauntingly.

"She started this!?!" Cole cried, hunching over in cover.

"Yeah... HER no doubt." Liam said, wiping his face more. "So....what are we gonna do?"

Team RWBY soon looked on as Ruby Rose yelled angrily for revenge.

Kyle stopped a brief moment, looking at each of the teammates in the face.

"Cole... I think it's time we take your advice. Let's go have some action!"

He looked over at Petra, who in a way agreed. Liam and both Cole returned

mischievous grins.

"Let's help Ruby and the others beat them," Kyle told them.

"Down with the Queen!" Cole cried.

"Excuse me...what?" asked a girl's voice.

The four of them immediately turned to see Coco Adel and her team.

Cole immediately saw Velvet and gave her a queasy smile.

"Oh no.." Kyle murmured with a gulp.

"We.....we're just in..on the fun." Liam began with a nervous smile.

"Fun!? For fun, you're going to help fight against THE Pyrrha Nikos and her team!? What is it, trying to show off? She continued.

"No, her team start -" Liam began.

"Enough, why don't you pick on someone your OWN size?"

"YOU'RE FACING AN IVANHOE, HIS WHOLE FAMILY COULD BEAT YOU!" Cole shouted, pointing to Liam.

"But....aren't we guys friends? Our teams?" Kyle quickly mentioned.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Petra leaped into the air over the team.

She held a handful of plates while in the air. Quickly, she began throwing one at every member of CFVY. The plates smashed around as each person began taking cover. A few plates hit Yatsuhashi as he stumbled back, falling to his side.

Petra landed and charged towards them. She slid in between Coco's legs and grabbed one, trying to trip her. Coco quickly backflipped up and turned to face her. Suddenly, she reached for a bowl with a spoon and swung pieces of spaghetti from a bowl at all of KCPL.

Kyle dodged the two thrown his way. Cole wildly ran forward and was hit in the face, stopping him dead in his tracks as he fell over. Coco flung all of the noodles until she ran out.

"Are you okay!?!" Kyle asked Cole as they took cover behind a table. "I hate these guys..." Cole whispered angrily, staring at the ground. "Even Her...?" Kyle asked, pointing to Velvet. Cole looked to see her also taking cover. "Shut up...." he replied, slowly shaking his head.

Out of the corner of this eye, Kyle saw Liam putting Yatsuhashi in a headlock. Kyle then ran towards Petra to help until he saw HIM. Fox Allistair. He quickly jumped in front of the team. He began using soda cans and punched them towards the team.

Kyle soon became soaked from them as they smashed against his school uniform.

Cole jumped out from behind his table and threw a saltshaker at Fox, making him punch it and shatter. "AUGGH!" he screamed, rubbing his eyes. "Hah! Take that!" Cole shouted.

Velvet stood up, frowning at him as they met eyes.

"I love these guys," a laughing voice was heard. Everyone stopped suddenly, turning to see a mysterious male Faunus who was standing next to another male human student.

Then they saw someone else.

They looked on as Headmistress Glynda slowly but surely came in.

"Do not play with your food," She quietly told everyone.

All the teams suddenly realized their foolish mischief

All the teams suddenly realized their foolish mischief. Everyone began laughing and soon made up.

"Sorry about the mess..." Coco began as she wiped her shades.

"Hah....no worries, I suppose." Kyle replied. "It WAS a fair fight."

"Sure, whatever you say...." Coco replied, looking Liam's direction.

"Ugh, s-sorry about the...salt. Does it still hurt?" Cole asked Fox.

"N-Nah" he replied as he continued rubbing his eyes in pain.

Cole then looked at Velvet as they both managed to smile at each other.

Kyle looked over at his brother and smiled. He really was becoming quite different. Perhaps....like their father was.
