Fanfic react- Rage of a Farmboy Chapter 1

Reaction to the fanfic-Rage of a Farmboy by TigerVolcano5000


It's a good two-shot book. You all should read it. It's on Fanfiction.net. Rated PG-13 for mild language


I don't own the fanfic or RWBY. They belong to their rightful owners.


Enjoy and send reviews.




"Anger, fury, and rage?" Yang, Weiss, Adam, Whitley and actually everyone repeated as the lights dimmed. "What's that suppose to mean?" Winter asked. The Boy's eyes glowed like fire.


"They thought him weak," he said a distorted voice. "Submissive. Unable to defend himself without the wizard. But they were wrong. They constantly pushed him because they believe he wouldn't retaliate...That was a mistake. His fuse is long, but it's attached to DYNAMITE."


The Audience were a bit unnerved by the voice. Some pieced together that he was talking about Oscar, but before they could ask, the screen turned on.


SMASH! Oscar couldn't help but flinched at the noise.


"Jaune!" Ruby yelled, but Jaune wasn't listening as he pulled his fist from the wall.


"Wait, this has already happened," Yang said recognizing the moment. "This is what could've happened if Dense knight didn't back off and I didn't interfere," the Boy growled, glaring at Jaune. Surprising most. The Boy seemed excited about the viewings they watched. "Continue watching." He growled.


"Everything we did was for NOTHING!" Oscar was leaning on the wall with crossed arms. He wasn't surprised that Jaune was reacting like...this. Given his (not so subtle) distrust of Ozpin from the beginning, it came as no surprise to Oscar that he would react so...violently at the "less than pleasant" (And that's putting it mildly.) news.


 "What news is Mr. Pine referring to?" James asked. The Boy made a bubble around the Inner Circle and Tai, Ozpin with Winter, and Penny. The rest of the Audience saw Ozpin speaking to his allies. They couldn't hear them but they knew what they were talking about what team RWBY and JNR found out. Raven crossed her arms. Summer felt sorry for Ozpin. Knowing it's painful for him to do this. There seemed to be arguing but it stopped when the Boy entered the chat. 


  They came out and silently sat in their seats and the Boy continued the viewing.


Oscar was...tired after everything that happened in the last two days. The revelation of the truths about Ozpin (Or...Ozma?), Salem, the brothers (As Oscar downright refused to address those two children as "gods"), and everything else had put everyone else in...difficult moods. And a lot of those moods seemed to be focused on Oscar himself.


Yang was the most vocal about Ozpin's secret keeping. She thought she was being subtle, but he could the disgust/anger in her voice whenever she spoke to him or of Ozpin... and could feel her furious glares to his head when she thought he wasn't looking.


Qrow wasn't as vocal, but was just as piercing as Yang (If not more.) Whenever Oscar saw the old Huntsman, his cheek stung a bit...remembering the merciless punch given to him such a shot while ago. Even though Ozpin locked himself within his mind, Oscar knew that Qrow's cold words hurt the old wizard than Yang's fiery temper ever could.


Weiss and Blake weren't any different than before, as they barely spoke to him before the..."issue" (And that's putting it lightly.) with Ozpin. (So it hardly feels like anything has changed on that front.)


"Ms. Xiao Long," Glynda said to the blonde brawler, "While I understand your anger to Ozpin, Oscar does not deserve your tone." Yang was about to retort when Summer said, "The boy doesn't deserve the anger you have for Ozpin , Yang," Yang and everyone that knew her were surprised by her protective tone. "Thank you for defending Oscar, Ms. Rose." Ozpin said with a grateful nod. The Boy doing the same.


"Please call me Summer Ozpin," the leader of Team STRQ said, "We're past the formalities." 


  Some were confused, they thought the Silver-Eyed Huntress was defending Ozpin (Raven, Jaune, Yang, and Salem+ the Grimm Circle.) They didn't think of Oscar. Weiss and Blake felt like they should've spoken to Oscar. The other students felt sorry that Oscar didn't have a shoulder to lean on after everything that happened to him after the attack on Haven. Adam didn't entirely care, but he was angered that the boy was treated like the Faunus were treated. Like Grimm.


"Look Jaune," Yang's voice brought Oscar and the Audience out of their musings, "We get that you're upset, we ALL are! But the attitude isn't going to get us anywhere, we're not the enemy here."


...


...


...


"Are we sure about that?" Jaune whispered in a dangerous tone after a few moments of silence. Oscar turned to look at Jaune (Confused by his statement) only to flinch when he saw that Jaune's dark blue eyes were on him. And they did not look happy.


Glynda, James, and Ozpin glared at the blonde knight, the first two hoping his other didn't do anything to harm the boy. Ozpin because he was disappointed that Jaune was doing the same thing he did in their world.


Slowly but surely, it began to dawn on Oscar. He's...he's not ACTUALLY blaming me for this, is he?


"W-what?! Jaune, what're you talking about?" But, once again, the silver-eyed huntress was ignored.


"He's in your head, isn't he Oscar?" Jaune all but growled at the (still) shocked farmboy. He took a step forward, to which Oscar responded by taking a fearful step back. (Suddenly noticing just how large Jaune was compared to him) "Did you know about this?"


"I assure you Jaune," Ozpin said with narrowed eyes at said blonde boy, some noticing how he didn't say 'Mister Arc'. "While Oscar is my host, he does not have access to all my memories." Jaune would be angry at the Headmaster but felt unnerved how he was protecting Oscar.


"No, he didn't!" Weiss tried to defend the farmboy, but Jaune ignored her just as he did Ruby. As Oscar took another step back, Jaune suddenly ran forward and grabbed Oscar by his shirt collar before slamming him into the wall behind him.


Pyrrha, Sun, Neptune, Coco, Velvet, Glynda, Whitley, Willow, James, Tai, Summer, Emerald, Mercury, Neo and Roman jaws dropped as they watched the young boy get assaulted. Pyrrha was shocked that her crush was attacking the young boy. SN,CV because they never expected their fellow classmate and friend to do that. Whitley because he seen himself in the boy's place and Jacques in Jaune's counterpart's place. Willow for the same reason. James, Summer, Tai and Glynda because they had their parental instincts kick in. (Oi, it's before V7, so the Tin man hasn't lost his heart.) RMEN because they haven't had a fight like this.


Cinder, Watts and Tyrian smiled that the heroes were dividing. Seeing that the Shadow War will be in their favor. Hazel felt slightly sorry for the boy, blaming Ozpin for his predicament. Salem was neutral, just waited to see what will happen. The Boy said that he had a fuse, so she wanted to see when it ran out.


"How much longer can we even trust him? How do we know it's even him? What if we've been talking to that liar this whole time?!" The others continued to speak, but Oscar drowned them all out. His eyes were shut tightly and his hand covered his head. 


This, this isn't fair! ALL I've ever done is HELP them! And that's the truth, everything Oscar has done with nearly the last month has been to help them in their mission. And it always seemed to be at the expense of him. He traveled to get Ozpin back to his group, despite the fact that doing so would entail him abandoning his home and aunt. (The only family he had left on this damn world.) He followed Ozpin's instructions to train his skills and Aura for the battles coming, despite the fact that he was only fourteen years old and shouldn't even be involved in a war like this. Or any war period.


"I can confirm that his aunt Emelia/Em Pine is Oscar's only blood relative," Ozpin said to the students and other adults.


Both Team RWBY and JNR began to realize what Oscar has been doing for them and felt bad for treating him like how they did. Ruby silently promised to thank Oscar for his selfless help and help him in return. Summer, Tai, Emerald, Neo, Winter and her brother and mother, Velvet, Coco, Sun, Neptune, Roman, and Mercury felt sorry that he was an orphan thrown into a war with no training. 


Raven and Adam felt slightly sorry for the boy. 


"Sir," Glynda said to Ozpin, "Where is Oscar now?" she asked. James wondered the same and both wanted to train Ozpin's next host. "He has taken residence with Team RWBY and JNR in the Cotta-Arc house in Argus." Ozpin whispered so Salem and her followers wouldn't hear. The two nodded and looked back at the screen.


Hell, the only reason that any of them even knew the truth about anything is because he told them! He had to literally fight with Ozpin for control of his body to tell Ruby the true name of the Relic of Knowledge. Why? Because he wanted to help them! Because he thought they "deserved" to know the truth abut everything.


Now...it's not like Oscar was expecting a award for telling them, but this is the treatment he's suppose to be okay with? After everything's he done to try and help them, and all he gets in return is being yelled, punched, told his own life (As an individual) is meaningless in the long run, avoided and scorned like a Grimm, and now practically attacked?!


 Sun and the other students, the adults, and Neo and Roman were stumped by Oscar's practically 'Thank you for your help' card. Punched, yelled at, they could barely handle. But treated like a Grimm and told his life is worthless? That, they will not stand for. 


  Pyrrha up and slapped Jaune in the face. Sun, Neptune, and Willow went and did the same to Blake and Weiss. Adam threw a baseball at Blake which landed in between her eyes. Velvet and Coco tried to scold Ruby but Ozpin said, "That won't be necessary Ms. Scarlatina and Ms. Adel. Ms. Ruby has nothing to do with Oscar's treatment. She had actually tried to cheer him up." The two second years apologized to the red reaper who was embraced by Tai and Summer who told her she did the best she could. 


James looked at the three members of RWBY and JNR, "When we get back to our world, you will receive discipline." He said in a stern voice. (Whispers- They're going to get arrested by the Ace-Ops.)


"Man, the kid's help is completely unappreciated," Mercury said to Emerald who nodded. "If he was with us," Watts said, "His help would've been greatly appreciated." Now that gave Salem and Cinder the idea how to get Oscar on their side.


Oscar's hands slowly moved to Jaune's wrists (The Blonde knight not even noticing due to his armored gloves.) as he closed his eyes and lowered his head. When Jaune yelled at him and slammed him into the wall, fear was the primary emotion that was flowing through Oscar's body.


But now? The primary emotion that was running through Oscar's body at this very moment? Anger. Rage. A pure white fury that's he's never felt in his life.


And it was growing stronger with each passing moment. That sentence made them all tense. (Adam-It's time you get what's coming to you.)


Meanwhile, almost everybody was yelling at Jaune to let Oscar go. ("Let him go, you bully!" SLAP! "Ow! I'm sorry!") Ruby especially was steadily growing more and more annoyed with her first friend of Beacon with each passing moment. Her small hands were clenched into fists, her teeth were gritted, and her bright silver eyes were now narrowed in frustration. She was about to walk forward in an attempt to physically remove Jaune from Oscar when...


"Let me go," Oscar spoke in a low tone, his quiet voice only being heard because he spoke in a moment where no one was talking. All eyes onscreen turned to the farmboy, his head down and his hair shadowing his eyes. (Sun- Okay, I'll be honest that is kinda intimidating.)


"Oscar?" Both Ruby's asked, their faces expressing the concern they held.


Jaune's angry expression before into a confused one for a split second before his angered/frustrated expression returned, ("I suggest you listen, pal.") "How do I know you're even Oscar?" 


"OH COME ON!"


"HE'S NOT ME!/HE'S NOT OZPIN! HE'S HIS OWN PERSON!" Ruby, Summer and Ozpin shouted. Everyone was shocked even Salem and Tyrian. Coco and Glynda lowered their glasses respectively with surprised looks in their eyes. Summer Tai and Yang looked at the red reaper with teasing smiles. Said little Rose blushed and hid herself in her cape, much to their amusement.


  Ozpin noticed the bewildered looks he received and cleared his throat. "I, uh, apologize if I startled you." he said sheepishly before looking back at the viewing. Slowly, everyone else turned to the screen.


Ruby's concern for Oscar was (once again) replaced by her anger for her fellow leader, (SLAP! "OW!") "Jaune-" Before she could tell them to stop in any capacity, something happened that completely caught everyone off-guard.


  Without any degree of hesitation, Oscar straight up head-butted Jaune! The blonde knight let out a grunt of surprise/pain, taking a step back and letting go of Oscar's shirt.


Now due to his size and lack of training, Oscar was not as physically powerful as Jaune.  However, the reason that Oscar's head-butt had such an effect on Jaune was because he caught Jaune completely off-guard.


"Jaune, I told you to never let your guard down," Pyrrha scolded, cuffing the blonde knight on the back of the head. Jaune grumbled that it wasn't him.


The Jaune onscreen held his face for a few moments, before lowering his hand to glare at Oscar...before his eyes actually widened when he looked at the farmboy. Instead of the usual kind and/or shy expression on his face, Oscar was now glaring at Jaune with the ferocity of a Grimm. Such an expression completely took Jaune and those who knew him.


Salem smiled, "That's it young one," she said as if Oscar can here her. "Unleash your fury. Let your anger go free." Cinder smirked, "Give them reason to never push you. Kill one of them, if you have to."


"Oscar?"


"Shut...up Jaune," Oscar's furious comment caught everyone onscreen and off off-guard. " I don't even want to hear anything else from you. I'm sick and tired of your stupid attitude! Pouting and moaning like a damn child!" Both Jaune's actually flinched a bit by Oscar's sentence.


Ren, at the moment, decided to step forward, "Oscar, that's enough. You need to calm down." As it turns out...that was NOT the right thing to say. Like...at all. (Roman: Yeah, that was a poor choice.)


The (normally) stoic boy actually flinched when the furious gaze of Oscar turned towards him with speed similar to Ruby's semblance, "No Ren, I am NOT going to calm down. Don't tell me to calm down! As surprising as it might sound, I'm sick and tired of being treated like I don't even matter!" Everyone in the room and the theater flinched at the loud and harsh tone of Oscar's voice.


"He has every right to let out his anger," Adam said, surprising most. "I heard it's unhealthy mentally. Otherwise the next time something like this happens it will be worse than it's going to be now."


"Oscar...that's not true," Nora onscreen was the first one to recover, as she (somewhat weakly) responded, "You do matter to us, you know that."


"Oh, really? I do, do I?" Oscar bit back, not even bothering to contain the rage that he had just unleashed after nearly two days. "That's what you claim, but your actions don't seem to follow that. If you're actually telling me the truth, then why didn't you try to do anything a few moments ago? You know that if Jaune pulled that crap with Ren you'd have stepped in without any hesitation and vice versa. And if he did it with any of RWBY, he'd have an entire team on his back and ready to tear his throat out. But because it was me, the one with Ozpin in his head," he points to the side of his head, "Suddenly...everyone's hands are apparently tied. And nobody gives a damn!"


RWBY and JNR were silent while their fellow students gave them some glares, but some stopped, thinking that they would probably do the same. "They don't seem to be defenders of humanity like what I've heard," Whitley said and Willow nodded. Weiss didn't bother to retort knowing that her counterpart's actions weren't going to help her words. 


Ozpin and the teachers sighed, they hoped that they taught the students better than this. Ruby just hoped Oscar wouldn't do anything he'd regret. 


"Oscar!" the Yang onscreen called out, a stern expression on her face, "Enough. You know that's not true."


"Bullshit!" Oscar's sudden cursing took everyone by surprise, (Coco: Okay when the cute boy curses, you'd know he's pissed.) "None of that is true? Are you freaking kidding me?! You think I don't notice any  of the glares or snide comments from you after everything that's happened? Are you not paying attention, or are you just plain stupid?!" Oscar noticed Yang's iliac eyes turned that same crimson red that he'd seen in her anger. Her hands clenched into fists, and she let out a low growl as she took a threatening step forward.


"If you hurt him Yang, I'll cut your hair," Ruby said to her older sister who didn't comment on her being protective of the farmboy. Tai nor Summer commented either, the three of them just hoped that other Yang wouldn't do what they feared she'll do.


Back onscreen. "Watch it Oscar," Yang all but growled at the farmboy.


Instead of reacting with fear, or...at all, Oscar just started laughing. Only it was a humorless laugh, one that  sent chills down everyone's spines even Tyrian. "What is it now Yang? You wanna hit me? Why? Because I dare to say anything against you? Because you just don't like me telling the truth? Go ahead then," his spread his arms, "Hit me! Go ahead and prove my point that you don't give a damn about what happens to me!"


 This seemed to strike in Yang, as her eyes turned back to normal and a shocked expression  appeared on her face. Realization seemed to set in as to exactly what it was she was about to do. Was she actually about to...physically assault a fourteen year old boy because something he said? He's letting off frustration for valid reasons, (As it sounds) and, like always, her first response was to attack.


"Man, you need watch your temper Xiao Long," Coco said to Yang who looked down in shame as Tai and Summer scolded her to think before you act. Raven shook her head. Adam said, "I see you haven't changed," Blake was about to say something but Yang stopped her and shook her head. "You'd think she'd change after we tricked her," Mercury said to Cinder and Emerald. The latter shrugged as the former said, "Apparently not."


Blake onscreen was quick to step up, grabbing hold Yang's hand in an attempt to comfort her (And failing if the look on her face was any indication) before turning to Oscar, "Look, Oscar. Maybe you're right. But you need to understand that trust takes time." Oscar's glare turned towards Blake but (Unlike offscreen Blake and onscreen Ren) she didn't physically flinch.


That didn't mean she was effected by it deep down, as she and the Blake offscreen could feel chills running down her spine at Oscar's gaze. "You know what Blake? For argument's sake, let's just say I believed you that trust "takes time." Tell me something: why am I the one who has to earn your trust back?"


The question caught Blake by surprise, "W-what?"


"I get it if you said that at Haven,"  Sun said to the Cat Faunus, "because you didn't know him, I didn't know him. But that was a whole MONTH ago!" Blake looked at her lap and her ears flattened on her head.


"I didn't anything wrong...remember? What is it I've done to you? I'm not Ozpin, remember? At least not yet. The only thing I've done is help you guys. JNR is excused for not knowing, but in case you guys forgot: I'm the only reason you even know the truth. Remember that? How I had to literally FIGHT an immortal wizard in my mind for control of my body?! ALL because I felt that you guys deserved the truth. Nice to know how much you guys appreciated that." Whereas JNR didn't have MUCH of a reaction to Oscar's comment, the members of RWBY did.


Although she never treated Oscar any different then she did after the reveal...everything, Ruby still beat herself up for not noticing  just how bad Oscar was affected. Or in the fact that she never even tried to help Oscar or even try to get the others to make up with him. She was SO focused on her uncle, her team, herself,  and seemingly EVERYTHING and EVERYONE else...but Oscar.


"I might not like you Red," Roman said, "But even to me that's harsh." Neo held up a sign that said, 'And we live in a harsh world.'  Ruby looked down and hoped that Oscar would forgive her as her mother and father tried to comfort her.


Weiss's gaze lowered to the floor as she began feeling more of Oscar's rage. Similar to Blake, she hasn't been...social with Oscar, despite knowing him for almost a month. All that time, and she can count the number of things she knows about him on one hand. And that's not even counting the fact that his soul is combined  her former Headmaster's. So after the truth came out, she pretty much treated him the same way she has been...and only now does she see that has a mistake.


"Leave it to a Schnee to never speak to a low class that fights beside her," Adam said, shaking his head in disgust. Whitley and Winter glared at the Bull Faunus while Willow scolded her second born for not checking on her so-called friend.


Back on the Screen, Blake was at a loss of words at Oscar's statement. He's not say anything that isn't true, he's been helping them this entire time. And their treatment...is supposed to be a acceptable way of showing thanks? Gods, I barely talk to him for weeks and suddenly I think I have a right to lecture him about 'trust'? Blake thought bitterly to herself.


"Like what Mr. Wukong said, Ms. Belladonna," Glynda said, "it would be understandable if you said this to Oscar when you met him at Haven or whenever you met him." Blake nodded in understanding.


Yang's self loathing only increased by Oscar's words, knowing that they were all true. He did help them a lot by telling them the truth, and all they do in response is take their anger and frustration at Ozpin to Oscar. That wasn't fair in the slightest.


"No, Yang it isn't." Summer said to her daughter. Raven was about say something but the Boy gave her  a glare that silenced her. Ozpin was beating himself, realizing that he basically let the treatment happen.


Oh, but Oscar wasn't done. Not by a LONG SHOT. (The Boy: A VERY LOO-NNG shot.) "And you know? Even with all that, let's say that I still agreed with you about everything. Let's say I did agreed with you about everything...what's stopping any of you from lashing out at me the next time you get pissed at Ozpin?" Almost everyone on/offscreen looked at Oscar in shock but he didn't anyone time to respond, "Nothing, that's what." his hands clenched into fists and his breathing became heavier. "Because you've given up on me."


Everyone in the room and half the Audience looked at Oscar with horrified expressions on their faces.


"Oscar...that's not true!" Nora cried out, looking like he was going to cry. Ren put a hand on his partner's to try and comfort her, but Oscar's words cut too deep.


"Thanks for trying, Renny," Nora in the Audience said, weakly to the boy.


"Yes...it is." Oscar practically snarled through gritted teeth as he clenched his fists so hard that they nearly dug into his palm. As he glared at them with the white fury of a thousand suns, however...something  happened that only further caught them by surprise.


The outline of Oscar's body began to glow a faint orange. It was sort of...shimmering. While everyone else was shocked and still reeling at Oscar's words, Ruby was the first to recover. "Oscar?"


       In some instances, Oscar may have focused on Ruby and calmed down. But...he was already too far in his rage to calm down so easily. "You don't care anymore! You couldn't care less happens to me, or who does it! You have absolutely no problem with anybody else, but of course I deserve to be screamed at and beaten the crap out of for what Ozpin did...because apparently no one can tell the difference between me and him!" As he yelled, the shimmering light around Oscar's body became more brighter and more solid. But the thing that really became noticeable to the others was that they could...feel a noticeable breeze on their faces. "But, of course...nobody wants to give a damn about me! After all...ALL I'm good for is being Ozpin's newest vessel, right?! So it makes perfect sense that I'm suddenly worthless after Ozpin lost everyone's trust and respect!" The wind around them began to pick up. Everyone's hair was moving and some had to put an arm in front of their faces.


"W-what's happening?" Blake asked, surprised how the wind was picking up speed. The students couldn't find an answer. Ozpin and the other adults looked at each other, before Ozpin said, "I have a theory, but I can't say it's the answer." Salem and her older followers (Hazel and Watts.) got the same conclusion. Cinder and her faction were still coming up with answers. Tyrian...wasn't paying attention. He was in glee seeing the boy venting his rage.


The thieves, Adam and Raven got the idea as well, wondering what if it will be correct.


"Oscar please, you need to stop this!" While her intentions may have been pure, but the Weiss onscreen didn't realize that she was only adding fuel to the fire.


"No!" Oscar all but roared, "I'm getting sick and tired of this BULLCRAP! AM I JUST SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY WITH BEING TREATED LIKE I DON'T MATTER AT ALL?! AM I JUST SUPPOSED TO IGNORE EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED?!" The wind around everyone started to grow stronger and began to swirl around Oscar in the form of...a miniature tornado. "YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ME! AFTER JINN TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED, YOU JUST...LEFT ME THERE! YOU JUST LEFT ME THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WASTELAND, AND JUST WALKED AWAY! BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ME HERE!" By this point the winds being formed was starting to slide objects (and people) across the floor, "YOU DON'T WANT ME...AT ALL!" By this point, Oscar's pupil's had disappeared from his eyes as his voice constantly shifted between normal and becoming deeper.


Oscar's shouting caused the students to recoil in guilt and fear at his voice changing, Ruby covered her ears to block it. The adults were leaning forward while some (Tai, Summer, and Willow) tried to comfort their children. Penny said, "I believe I understand what Mr. Pine's Semblance is."


"OSCAR PLEASE-" the Nora onscreen said as she tried to move forward, (To give him a hug, with any luck.) but even she found herself unable to move through the ferocious winds that surrounded him.


"I HATE YOU!" In that instant, the winds suddenly slammed everyone against the wall. They all struggled to free themselves but the winds proved far stronger than they expected. Even Yang and Nora, the physically strongest members in the ENTIRE group, couldn't do anything against the sheer pressure that they were facing.


With his pupil less eyes and animalistic snarling, Oscar looked downright terrifying to his (sorta?) friends onscreen and offscreen and to some of the villians as well. And that wasn't even counting the way the very air swirled around him like a violent storm (Perfectly showing how he felt on the inside.)


"Really perfectly showing it," Roman commented. The ones who didn't understand what was happening, finally pieced it together. Those who already did found amusement in the faces that just did. "I'll admit, I would've thought Oscar was a son of one of the Seasonal Maidens with his Semblance." Ironwood said to Glynda and Ozpin. That those who heard him, (Good guys and Bad guys) wondered if that was possible. Ruby though felt proud that Oscar discovered his Semblance. Though she wished it wasn't under these circumstances. 


Then again, everyone unlocked their Semblances differently, she thought as she looked at the screen.


"Oscar!" Ruby onscreen yelled against the wind. She didn't know if he could hear her, but she was gonna try to get through to him regardless. (Yang: Yeah, that's Ruby for ya. Roman: I can see that.) "OSCAR! PLEASE LISTEN!" Oscar's expression didn't change as he began levitating in the air, (Glynda: Perhaps we should take James's theory into consideration.) objects flying up and began swirling around him. Her throat was beginning to grow raw from the screaming, but she wasn't about to give up. So, she took deepest breath she could, and..."OSCAR!"


That appeared to be loud enough to attract the farmboy's attention. His head spun to her form and his pure white eyes made contact with her own silver. As their gazes met and Oscar stares into the worried eyes of Ruby's...his own eyes softened. His expression changed from one of fury to one more so of... exhaustion.


As Oscar began to calm, causing half the Audience to sigh in relief, his pupils returned to his eyes and the wind around him began to die down. The objects that were flying around him dropped to the ground, and the people that were pinned to the wall, suddenly fell to the ground. Oscar himself slowly lowered to the ground, letting out a small breath as his feet touched the ground. His eyes were shut as he breathed in and out through his nose.


When he (finally) opened his eyes, he saw the shocked, guilty, and (slightly) injured forms of the others on the ground. Instead of the look of fury on his face, (One that would make a Grimm or one of the stern adults flinch.) now Oscar was...passive.


Honestly, that might've freaked them and the Audience out even more then his merciless rage from just a few moments ago. At least there some emotion there. But the emotionless gaze from his (now near lifeless) hazel eyes...it was truly frightening.


"No kidding," Yang said as she and the other students shuddered. The adults even Raven were unnerved. It was like staring into the face of Death.


Without a single word...Oscar began walking out the back door.


Ruby was the only one to recover quickly enough, as (not long after) she ran after him, "Oscar!" As he stepped onto the porch, Ruby grabbed ahold of his hand. "Oscar...are you...okay?" It felt like a stupid thing to say, but she couldn't think anything else after...what just happened.


Ruby in the Audience hid herself under her hood and muttered to herself, "Stupid, stupid, stupid." Yang patted her back. "It's alright sis, I'm pretty sure he... knocked the wind out of you," the blonde brawler punned only getting groans of annoyance from the whole Audience. The Boy muttered, "That was a mistake."


"Oh come, that was good," 


"No it wasn't!" Everyone even Salem said. Willow covered Whitley's ears Roman doing the same to Neo (Much to her annoyance.) while Tai, Summer, and Raven, whispered the real reason the others were mad. Yang's eyes widened in terror, "I-I didn't mean it like that!" She exclaimed. The entire Audience continued to glare before slowly turning to the screen.


"I'm fine," Oscar on screen pulled his hand from Ruby's hand, before he sighed, "I mean...I don't know. I just...need some time to myself. To think...you know?" Ruby nodded, having a decent understanding of what Oscar was saying. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a little bit. Maybe...an hour? An hour and a half tops?"


Ruby nodded, "Take ALL the time you need. And hey, at least you got your Semblance out of it. So...bright side," she weakly chuckled.


Oscar did the same, looking at his free hand, "Yeah...bright side."


The small smile on Ruby's face disappeared from her concerned frown, and she squeezed his hand, "Just...make sure you do come back alright?"


Oscar nodded, "I will. I promise." And with those final words, Oscar pulled himself from Ruby's grasp (easily to do since she didn't try to fight him.) and leapt over the fence and onto the streets of Argus.


Not long after, the others had (Finally) all but raced to the backyard. "Where's Oscar?" he asked as he and the others looked around the backyard...only to find nothing.


"What? Want to ask if he's a liar again?" Coco asked bitterly. Jaune didn't respond just looked at the floor.


Feeling the feeling of frustration bubble back up again, Ruby shut her eyes and took in a deep breath...before letting it out. With a hard look in her (normally) bright silver eyes, she turned to her friends, "He's not here."


"What do you mean he's not here?" Weiss asked, "We've to go find him."


"No," the sheer power and commandment in Ruby's voice took everyone by surprise. (Which seemed to be a trend for today.) (Or night,)


The Audience that knew Ruby were also surprised. Tai and Raven looked at Summer who was scratching her neck and chuckling nervously. Both flashing back to the days of Team STRQ.


Ren onscreen was the first to recover, "What do you mean no?"


Now, Ruby turned to everyone with a hardened state, reminding Tai and Raven about the Silver-Eyed Huntress in training's Mom more, "I mean no. Oscar needs to think...alone."


"Ruby, it's not safe for him just to be walking at this hour!" Blake argued, "We need to go find him" (Sun: I want to argue but that's a good point.)


It took all of Ruby's self control to not roll her eyes at Blake's comment, "Really? After everything that just happened, you guys really think that being around us is what Oscar needs right now?" Ouch, that seemed to have wounded everyone a bit if their flinches and guilty expressions was anything to go on.


"Well, at least you guys are guilty," Velvet said, a little shook up at Oscar unlocking his Semblance.


Back onscreen, Yang took a step forward, "Ruby-"


"No Yang," Ruby interrupted, "There's no point in discussing this right now," then she sighed. "Look...I understand why you all acted after learning... everything. Saying it was a shock would be an understatement. (Weiss: A big one.) But Oscar is right, that's no excuse for how he's been treated. We're upset at Ozpin not Oscar." No one seemed to want to meet Ruby's eyes, no doubt realizing how true they really were, "Oscar needs time to calm down, time away from all of us." She walked past all of them, stopping at the screen door. "Everyone is going to apologize when he gets back," she spoke with finality that left no room for argument , "Make sure you know what you're going to say," without waiting for a response, Ruby walked into the house and up the stairs to lie down for a bit until Oscar gets back.


"Well, that was intense," Maria Calavera said to Klein Sieben who replied, "I have to agree." This caused everyone to jump in surprise while some yelped. (Mewed in Blake's case.) 


END


Whew! That was longer than I thought. I had to keep switching from the fanfic on Fanfiction .NET and the reaction here. Tried to divide the screen a couple of times.


Now, Chapter 2 will follow next follow by Snowbirds singing My Demons by Imagine Dragons.


Now after that for an Oscar viewing? Well two things came to mind:


Godzilla AU (Oscar as Godzilla. Thinking Showa or Heisei. Legendary is for Qrow.)


OR


Mandalorian AU (Basically the show with Oscar as Mando and Ruby as a Order 66 Jedi survivor and both travel the galaxy with *Inhales* BABY YODA!)


Which one should I do? 


See you all soon. And may God be with you all in this quarantine.
