What's next?
The Plan Pt1
Jack Harlow: I wanna see some A$$-[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmsGPpmEIP8]
It's late into the night and Dolan who has yet to come up with an idea on how to help Jaune remain in Beacon is currently in the discipline committee's room trying to think what to do while at the same time listening to music.
Dolan: *sigh*...
Dolan: (Good job Dolan, you stuck your neck for Jaune, but you can't think up a goddamn way to help him.)
Eliza: What are you doing, aren't you supposed to be trying to prevent Jaune from being expelled? Yet here you are in the discipline committee's room just listening to music!
Dolan: Listening to music helps me think...
Eliza: And how's that working for you!?
Feeling a bit annoyed Dolan turns off the music on his scroll and turns around to look Eliza straight in her eyes.
Dolan: Look what do you want from me a fucking miracle!? This shit takes time, time that I'm fully aware we don't have!
Eliza: By we, I believe you meant to say "you", correct? Because I never agreed to help you with this issue you're dealing with.
Dolan: Alright, alright I get it! Just answer me this!
Eliza: Ok, what is it?
Dolan: If you did want to help someone because you think they deserved a chance... would you, do it?
Eliza: Absolutely, however again I must repeat myself and say that this is your problem.
Dolan: (Good grief...)
Eliza: Though... in my honest opinion having training isn't the only thing that's necessary to be a good Huntsman or Huntress. Jaune is the leader of his team, correct?
Dolan: That's right...
Eliza: Well, a good leader always puts their teammates before their own. It matters not what he's going through if he isn't taking into consideration of his teammate's feelings, then clearly, he doesn't deserve to be here.
*Knock* *Knock*
The door opens and in walks Oliver with a smile on his face. Hopefully whatever he had to say was good.
Oliver: I've got a great idea!
Dolan: "Ah Oliver, I'm glad you'll at least back me up on this!" As he looks at Eliza with disgust. "Anyway, what was your idea?"
Oliver: Ok so as I was doing my patrol right and as I was about to turn the corner, I overheard Jaune talking to that Ruby girl about how Cardin's got him on a leash and Pyrrha isn't talking to him.
Dolan: Why what for?
Oliver: Well, from the way he worded it my guess is he may have told Pyrrha about cheating his way into Beacon and Cardin may have found out.
Dolan: How the fuck were you able to piece that together?
Oliver: Simple, Pyrrha is Jaune's partner, so who better to talk about it than her. Then if he wanted someplace to talk about with her it would probably be the roof.
Eliza: Ok but then how would Cardin know about it?
Oliver: Unfortunately, the roof is literally above his team's room so...
Dolan: Oh, For Fuck's Sake!
Oliver: Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Anyway, Cardin probably blackmailed him to do as he says, or he'll blow the whistle on Jaune's secret.
Eliza: Well, it doesn't matter since Professor Goodwitch and the headmaster already are aware of this so even if he does tell them then-
Dolan: Then the rest of the school will learn and then Ozpin will have no other choice but to have Jaune expelled regardless of if I say something!
Oliver: Which brings me to my idea! Since the first years are heading to "Forever Fall", Cardin will undoubtedly try something using Jaune in his plan. So, when he gets him alone, we lure a Grimm preferably an Alpha over to them, Jaune kills it in front of them showing he's a badass, and he gets to feel like he truly does belong in Beacon, problem solved!
Dolan: Bitchin, let's do it!
Eliza: WHAT!!! You cannot be serious!? You can't just put other students at risk just to solve one problem! We're supposed to protect, we can't put them in danger!
Dolan: Can't put them in danger!? Shiiiiiit...
Dolan: We put these fuckers in danger practically every day! Hell, Ozpin Yeeted students off a goddamn cliff and expects them to have a "landing strategy" during initiation, the fuck are you talking about?
Eliza: Regardless there's no way this can work!
Oliver: Course it can, like I said we just find the biggest Grimm available and bring it over to them!
Dolan: There is one thing though...
Oliver: What do you mean?
Dolan: None of this will matter if Jaune doesn't show me his will to try and prove himself. *sigh* Well there's a first time for everything I suppose.
Oliver: So, we're on board with the plan?
Dolan: We are... unless Eli wants to rat us out?
Eliza: ...
Dolan: What's it going to be?
Eliza: I... suppose since you're going through all this trouble for him, then I guess I'll trust your judgment even though I feel like this is a bad idea.
Dolan: Wonderful, then tomorrow when Oliver and I accompany my aunt and the first years to "Forever Fall", Oliver will use one of his miniature drones to lure a Grimm over for Jaune to kill... hopefully.
Eliza: (Hopefully... are you serious?)
The next morning the first years comprised of teams, RWBY, JNPR, and CRDL were in a bulkhead on route to their destination of "Forever Fall", a forest that takes up a significant portion of the Kingdom of Vale. Not only that but unlike the Emerald Forest, everything here at "Forever Fall" was red, from its trees to its grass. The purpose of the field trip was to gather a special red sap that can only be found here and seems to be of great interest to researchers such as Professor Peach. While waiting to land a majority of the people (more specifically Ruby) couldn't wait to get out and explore.
Ruby: Hey Dolan do you know why "Forever Fall" is always red?
Dolan: As a matter of fact, I do!
Ruby: Really, what is it?
Dolan: The kingdom was on its period and try as it might it just couldn't get rid of the stains.
Ruby: ...
Dolan: I'm kidding, I don't know why it's always red, Pipsqueak.
Ruby: Couldn't you have just said that?
Dolan: No...
Ruby: Jerk.
Jaune: *sigh*
Oliver: You alright there Jaune?
Jaune: Huh... oh uh yeah, I'm fine Mr...
Oliver: Just call me Oliver. Just because I'm a fourth-year doesn't mean you need to give me any special treatment.
Jaune: O-ok... Oliver.
Yang: So, goggles you're in the same team as that guy who likes to scrap with Dolan?
Oliver: That's right.
Yang: So, tell me out of the four of you and the other members of your team which one is the strongest?
Oliver: In terms of just strength, then that easily goes to Eli. However, in terms of combat, I'd say that goes to Cyan.
Pyrrha: Why is that?
Oliver: Are you kidding me? Just look who his sparring partner is.
He points towards Dolan who simply holds out a peace sign.
Everyone: That makes sense.
Jaune: Well, what about you?
Oliver: Heh well... it goes without saying that I'm the weakest on the team.
Jaune: Seriously but you...
Oliver: Look like a badass, thanks but it's true, I am weak but that hasn't stopped me from doing what I need to do to support my team.
Dolan: Oliver scored the highest on the written tests but choked on the combat portions. If only you'd been here during his first year of initiation, poor fucker nearly splatted on the ground if it wasn't for Heli.
Oliver: I am so glad her motorcycle is her weapon.
Yang: What!?
Oliver: Yep, Heli's weapon is her bike! It splits into two with the wheels turning into buzzsaws
Pyrrha: But wait if her weapon is her bike then that would mean...
Dolan: You're exactly right Pyrrha, it means she was directly on the bike when the metal pads you all stand on shot her into the air! Granted they had to adjust hers a tad bit to give her more air.
Yang: Cool, wonder if she'd be interested in a race?
Oliver: Don't be too surprised if she beats you~
[Attention we will be arriving at the intended destination momentarily]
Oliver: Alright, everyone make sure you are prepared when you exit the bulkhead. Once everyone is off Professor Goodwitch will provide you with your task.
Dolan: Jaune you'll be in charge of carrying the supplies!
Jaune: Huh, me?
Dolan: Is there a problem?
Jaune: No sir.
Dolan: Good then be ready! (Gods know you'll need to.)
