The Day I Got Expelled

"Alright. Ladies and Gents, what more do I have to say? Let's begin!" Saber clapped her hands, as the screen came to life.

"No context again?" Weiss pointed out to the host.

"Darling. THIS is the context." Saber rolled her eyes.

[Cinder]
The gods are real
Like the Greek gods

"We kinda got that already. But, please, go on." Cinder murmured.

[Weiss]
Like the ones you learned about
But weren't paying attention to

[Cunder And Weiss]
Well, they don't pay attention to you, either

[All]
Especially if you're their kid

"Same."

"Now, that's just sad." Summer frowned.

"Big deal..." Raven muttered, receivit a glare from Summer.

[Yang]
The gods have godly things to do

[Yang And Coco]
Godly places they need to see

[Neo]
Godly plans they need to make
That don't include
Me

"Woah. I can talk..." Neo signed.

"Freaky..." Roman and Mercury muttered.

[All]
Yeah, the Gods are real
And they have kids
And those kids have
Issues
Issues

"OMG, same!" Teams RWBY, JNPR, and CMEN hollered.

[Boys]
Daddy doesn't love me
And mommy is a god

[Girls]
Mommy can't protect me
And daddy is a god

[All]
Mommy is too busy
And daddy is too busy
busy, busy, busy, busy being a god
Yeah

"Ah, Emotional Neglect: the song..." Cinder said in fake fondness.

You never listen to me
You never listen
You never listen to me
You never listen, oh
You never listen but
Now, you're gonna listen

'Cause it's time you heard our side of the story
It's time you heard our story

"You mean were gonna learn about their lives and adventures?" Nora said excitedly.

"Yup. Now pipe down, the best part is next." King said, leaning into his seat.

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Look!

(Sung)
I didn't wanna be a half-blood
I didn't ask to be a hero seeking praise

"Why? Isn't that what everybody wants? Being a hero, and saving lives is good." Ruby turned to the screen.

"Not when you're forced into it by fate..." King muttered.

"Sure... Let's go with that..." Saber said slowly.

Being a half-blood, it's scary
It mostly gets you killed in very nasty ways

I didn't want to cause trouble, trouble
I'm less a player and more the played

"This isn't just referring to her father isn't it?" Summer looked up.

"Yup." Saber nodded.

"If she didn't want to be a hero, then why is she?" Winter wondered amout loud.

"I'm not gonna answer that. Instead let me give you a poem." Saber said cheerfully before reciting.

A half-blood of the eldest gods
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice shall end her days
Olympus to preserve or raze

Saber finished, as she looked at her audience.

"Figured it out yet?" Saber smirked.

"It was never a choice, then." Winter nodded.

And, honestly, I'd be totally be fine
If I could make it to the next grade, next grade

It wasn't dirty socks or my stepdad
It was danger that I smelled

The day it all went down
The day I got expelled

"Well, now her life just sucks!" Tai groaned.

"Right. You're hitting the library. And I don't mean, your going to blast a bookshelf." Weiss reprimanded her partner.

"Do you perhaps need help in your studies, friend." Penny asked the younger student.

(Spoken)
Maybe you don't know what a half-blood is because your life is normal and happy and not constantly in danger, but my life... ? [hums] Let me set the scene

"This Red, I can tell is gonna be hilarious." Roman leaned into his seat.

"Impertinent and sass filled bastard, that one." Saber nodded.

(Sung)
We were on this freaky field trip
( [Ensemble] : Freaky trip)
That's when this story should probably start

[All]
We were geeking out on ancient Greek
At the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art

"A museum, really? Yang groaned.

"I'll have you know meseums are awesome." Weiss scoffed.

"Yeah!" Ruby the weapons nut rushed to high-five the heiress.

[Percy]
We stopped by all the statues
And learned about the gods
With Mr. Brunner and my substitute, Mrs. Dodds

Hadn't done nothing wrong
Wasn't rude
Hadn't rebelled

[All]
On the day it all went down

[Ruby]
The day I got expelled

[Mr. Brunner/Ozpin]
(Spoken)
The Greek gods! Almighty titans of earth, sea, and sky! But even they were children once. And they didn't have it easy! Their father, Kronos, feared the day his children would one day inherit the earth. So what did he do?
Anyone? Anyone?

[Mrs. Dodds]
(Spoken)
He ate them!

"But why did, Kronos eat his kids?" Jaune asked.

"Probably cause he's a dick, blondielocks. It ain't rocket science." Roman answered with an eye roll.

"Alright. Storytime: So Kronos was the youngest of the siblings called the titans. So, long story short their mother Gaia enlisted their help to kill/depose their father Ouranos... Yes, laugh it off." Saber rolled her eyes at the before continuing.

"Kronos with the help of his other siblings sorta killed their dad, however Ouranos pulled the classic parent move called 'One day your kids are gonna treat you the way you treated me'." Saber took a deep breath.

"You might be thinking, why doesn't he just not have kids? Well, this is the Greeks they're like horny all the time. And soon enough, the first of the elder gods were born a little girl named Hestia. And then he ate her and the next four. Story over, now watch!" Saber finished very quickly.

"I feel like you glossed over major info..." Jaune muttered.

But! one child, Zeus, escaped and devised a
plan to rescue his brothers and sisters!
He tricked Kronos into eating a rock
And what did Kronos do?
Anyone? Any student?

[Mrs Dodds]
(Spoken)
He vomited them up!

"That's disgusting." Weiss scrunched up her face.

"Yeah, well thankfully this will be that last in a long while." King said.

[Ruby]
I didn't really get the story
At least it wasn't boring as I'd feared
But is it me, or is Greek mythology
Not deeply weird?
I didn't want to pay attention
( [Ensemble] : Pay attention! Pay attention!)
Now I wish I had taken notes
But my focus is in question
And gods and indigestion caused a groan from all our throats

[Ensemble]
Ew!

[Yang]
Baah!

[Percy]
(Spoken)
Dude, what was that?

[Yang]
(Spoken)
Uh, nothing!

"Suspicious..." Ruby eyed her sister.

"Goat Yang! Goat Yang!" Nora yelled.

"I feel the anger of a thousand satyrs..." Saber whispered to herself.

[Ruby]
My best friend was acting strange
At which he so excelled

[All]
The day it all went down

[Ruby]
The day I got expelled

(Spoken)
Why do you have peanut butter in your hair?

[Yang]
(Spoken)
Ask Nancy Bobofit
She's a monster! Not literally. I don't think

"You suck at stealth and lying..." Raven critized.

"And you suck at parenting. What's your point?" Yang snapped.

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you?

[Yang]
(Spoken)
She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you
I stopped it. With my head

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Yang, you're a good friend

[Yang]
(Spoken)
Aw
Dude. I'm your only friend

[Mrs Dodds]
Ruby Rose!

[Ruby]
I knew something was up
When I heard my name get yelled

[All]
The day it all went down

[Ruby]
I saw something odd in Mrs. Dodds' frown

[All]
The day it all got weird

"The day you hot expelled?" Jaune raised an eyebrow.

[Ruby]
The day I got expelled

[Mrs Dodds]
(Spoken)
Ms. Rose

[Ruby]
Oh-oh-oh-oh!

[Mrs Dodds]
(Spoken)
Ms. Rose!
Please see me by the sphinx

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Look... if this is about Nancy Bobofit
she only hates me because I tried to get her to
stop wedgie-ing the first graders

"That's weirdly such a Ruby thing to do." Blake spoke with a pause.

[Mrs Dodds]
(Spoken)
I have heard much about you... Ruby Rose

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Really? That's very dedicated for a substitute

"Ozpin... Cough... Cough... Ozpin..." Ruby hacked uncontrollably.

"Certified Ozpin Moment." Summer laughed, remembering the time Ozpin invited her to Beacon.

[Mrs Dodds]
(Spoken)
Kicked out of five schools in six years
One might question your parentage

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Hey, don't talk about my mom

"Kinda rude for a sub..." Weiss pointed out.

"Pretty sure Alecto is a dom..." King muttered.

[Mrs Dodds]
(Spoken)
And your father? That's right
you don't know who he is! [begins laughing]

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
What's this about anyway?

Uh, Mrs. Dodds?
You have something growing on your

[Mrs Dodds' laughter become maniacal. Ruby screams]

"What the hell is that?" Jaune asked with apprehension.

"Furrys- I mean, a furie. Servants of Hades, they're good is all." Saber answered.

"Good? Or good at?" Qrow asked emphasizing at.

"Good at torture..." King answered.

[Mr Brunner]
(Spoken)
What ho, Ruby!

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Mr. Brunner! What am I supposed to do with a pen- Sword! Woah!

"Well that was quick." Mercury said disappointed.

"I thought you said they were good." Qrow remarked.

"Yeah, they are. Ruby's just destined for greatness. Being able to go toe-to-toe with the best swordsman in 300 years, after all." Saber answered with a shrugg.

[Mrs Dodds screams]

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Mr. Brunner?
Mrs... Dodds?

Um

(Sung)
I didn't know what just had happened
Was that all a creepy, crazy dream?

My teacher was a creature
Then she vanished in the ether
With a demon scream

The next thing that I knew
I was where detention was held

The day it all got real
The day I got

(Spoken)
Expelled?

[Mr Brunner]
(Spoken)
I tried, Ruby, but the headmaster stands firm in his decision
You were supposed to stay with the group
And this was your final warning

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
But it wasn't my fault, it was Mrs. Dodds!
She lured me away, she attacked me, and... you saw it!

[Mr Brunner]
(Spoken)
Did I?

"That's some gaslighting shit right there. That or I'm drunk hallucinated that past minute" Qrow said.

"Its the mist. Essentially its a shield of the mythological world so normal humans don't see monsters running around. But since Ruby's a demigod, she can see right through it." Saber answered.

"So the gaslight shield." King looked at Saber bored.

"Okay, yeah. It kinda is." Saber gave up.

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
And you gave me that pen!
Only it wasn't a pen, it was a sword, and
What?

[Yang]
(Spoken)
Ruby
we've never had a teacher named Mrs. Dodds

[Mr Brunner]
(Spoken)
Perhaps it's for the best
This wasn't the place for you
It was only a matter of time before

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
You think I'm trouble
Just like everyone else

"Ouch." Roman winced.

[Mr Brunner]
(Spoken)
No, but... That is to say
I can only accept the best from you, Ruby
Someday you'll understand why
I'm truly sorry

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Yeah well, I'm sorry I let you down

[Yang]
(Spoken)
Maybe he's right
You never fit in at this school anyway
You're not exactly

[Ruby]
(Spoken)
Normal?

[Yang]
(Spoken)
Exactly! [Laughs]
I mean, uh, I'll see you on the bus

"Yang! You can't just tell people that they're not normal!" Everybody, and by that I mean the students yelled.

"That was a vastly different reaction from last time." Yang protested.

[Ruby]
So if you think you are a halfblood
Better get headed to the exits now

'Cause folks will think you're lying
Better run and don't start crying
'Cause you're monster chow

"Their life just sucks. Like there's nothing more to it it just sucks." Summer.

"I still don't get what the big deal is. The grimm are the same way, we fight them too. What's so special about these guys?" Raven said quite honestly perplexed.

"Because, Ms. Dark and Broody. We had a choice, we picked this life! They were quite frankly kids born out of wedlock and forced by the universe to either die now fighting or die later fighting." Summer said in annoyance while she continued to poke at Raven very hard and aggressively.

Or stick around and maybe you'll learn from me
This ain't Odysseus' Odyssey

So hear me out
If you're so compelled

But, nobody listens to me
They never listen
Nobody listens to me
They never listen, oh

[Ruby]
I didn't wanna be a halfblood
( [Ensemble] : Expelled!)
I didn't ask to be a halfblood

[All]
Expelled!

••••••••

"Man, not gonna lie that put so many things into perspective." Tai remarked.

"Those kids have issues. Like major issues." Glynda shook her head.

"I still don't get it. This is normal human behavior." Raven muttered.

"Raven. Maybe you should go to therapy, like seriously. None of that was normal parenting or human behavior." Summer suggested.

"I think I need a break. Everybody to the bathroom. I gotta sort some shit out." Saber shooed them all out.

And by shooed I meant flicked them out of the room.

A/N: Nothing nothing at all

Next chapter: Hazbin Hotel (idk what scene but I'll find one.)

Have a nice day/evening/afternoon
