back in the real world
#13 of RWBY: apart of your world
Red eyes slowly opens to the sound of a beeping monitor, as he looked around his surrounding and saw that he was in a white room in a bed, he looked over to his left and saw he was hooked up to some monitors that was checking his heart and for his breathing and hooked up to an IV. Until he realized that he was back in the normal World his world ,He tried to move but couldn't and wonder what happened, So many questions ran through as had it but most of all he wanted to know what happened to tsume but couldn't find the strength to move or to speak as Darkness took over him once again.
red wakes up back in the white room that he once was and realize that he was truly back in the real world as he looked around he saw that there was a nurse checking in on the medical bag. He tried to speak words but couldn't as she looked over to his direction seeing him awake.
"I see you're finally awake you gave us all a scare" Woman said as she realized that he couldn't speak, she told him to give her a minute as she left the room and came back later with a cup of water, she helped him sit up and help him drink the water.
"Where am I? " red asked in a low voice
"You're in the hospital, there was an explosion in your school in the science lab and you and your friend was caught in it,you were in a coma for almost a year, to tell you the truth I was afraid that you two wouldn't make it "Red was silent for a minute and realize that tsunami was nowhere to be seen
"tsume ... "
"What? "
"tsume ... Where is she ?"
"You must be talking about your other classmate, don't worry she's in the other room she hasn't woken up yet. If you're hungry I can bring you something to eat?" The nurse asked as red shook his head
"Well if there is anything else you need don't hesitate to call "She said as she left the room,red sigh to himself as he looked out the window that was slightly covered by the curtains and saw that it was Dawn outside.
"so were finally back...but how, i thought will never get back, could it be that all of that was a dream? "red said in his thoughts as he held up his hand to see it was covered with bandage, flash backs of the battles and the school replayed in his mind this didn't seem like a dream, it was all to real.
20 minutes later red was able to go see tsume , once in the room she was also wrapped in bandage also around her torso which could be seen from her slightly open hospital gown, she was sitting up with a cup of ice cream in hand but staring down at it lost in thought. red walked over and took a seat in a chair that was next to her bed, he waited for a minute for her to say something until he did.
"I'm sorry I froze " she finally spoke
"Why did you... "
"I had a dream a long time ago before all of this happened..."
"The dream you told me when I picked you up from home? "
"Yes, I didn't think it was possible and I didn't know they were from that world but when I saw her.... I just couldn't move anymore "
"Don't beat yourself up, i'm the one that should be sorry I didn't know what else to do, we should have stayed with Ruby... We should have stayed and helped her "
"but she told us to run what else could we have done? "
"....I wonder what's going on now, but I wonder if it was just a dream ?"
"It couldn't have been a dream everything was so real, the touch , the taste... everything"
"we were in a coma for a almost a year,it couldn't have ben real"
"but if it wasn't real then why do i feel like the power we had is still inside me ...don't you feel it red ?" tsume asked as she looked up at him, red sigh and couldn't answer he was unsure about this and didn't know if it was real or not.
"lets not get into this , were ok now and that's all that matters "tsume nodded then put the blow of ice cream on the nightstand that was to her right.
"your right , were home now and we should be happy "then the door opened reviling there parents who was crying as they hugged them, weeks later they were able to leave the hospital from there fast recovery, there parents was still worried about them so pretty much they were getting a lot of TLC . In order for them to escape from their overbearing parents they hidden away in red's game room.
" how long do you think it will take before I parents realize that we're fine?" tsume ask
" your guess is as good as mine, but all I can tell you is that we need to hide here for a while until they relax" red told her as he went on the computer, 4 minutes later they played little games until tsume mom came in the room
"how are you kids doing?"
"mom, out! "
"i promise im not here to baby you "
"yeah i know now out"
"wanna go to the beach?"
"no thanks mom , i think me and red would go to the beach in are bathtubs"
"ok, and tsume , im glad that the two of you are okay"she said as she left the room
"hey red , wanna take a walk ?"
"sure"
tsume and red left the game room and walk around the block as they started to look around though their surrounding, people going by and 2 kids playing in the street and excetera. It was still kind of pretty hard for them to actually believe that they're back in the real world but saying their parents was enough to convince that they were no longer at Beacon Academy, red even did a worldwide search for Beacon Academy but the only thing that showed up was the animated show R.W.B.Y.
"Do you think the reason why we have that dream in the first place was because we must have watched R.W.B.Y late last night? " tsume asked
"Could have happened,why?"
"I don't know it's kind of weird to just you know be at school one minute and then dropped into another dimension the next. But I guess when now that we're out of it it doesn't feel like we belong here"
"I was hoping you would say something like that I feel the same way "
"You do?"
"Yep, I was trying to put on a smile for you to not make you worry and make you think that I rather be a beacon than here, but I don't want to lie anymore. I feel like we just ditch them in order to come back home, I know this was all that we wanted but now that we're here without actually... "
"Getting it like we wanted, you feel like we've betrayed them" tsume said cutting red off as he nodded
"yes, i do. Do you think there's a way to get back to Beacon?"
"If there was I'd be damn happy and I really hope that Ruby and the others are doing ok"
"where is rey when you need him?" red said as he stopped walking and tsume did as well
"what good would he be?"
"Don't remember how many times we normally got stuck he would actually help us out especially when it came to our training"
"Now that you mention it he wasn't bad as a teacher at all, even if we did mess with him and sometimes tossed his clothes into the river so he can go after them"
"By that time we messed with his dust and scrambled all of them in order for them to explode"
"Or how about that time when we flooded the house"
"We got grounded for that"
"I blame you it was your idea"
"Yes but I didn't ask you to follow along you did it willing"
"I told you before if you're getting in trouble, I'm getting in trouble" tsume said as they both started laughing"
"You know, if I had to be put back into a coma with a million other kids that got caught in that blast, you and I will still become partners"
red said making tsume smile
"same here"
then a siren went off catching their attention, they look up ahead towards the city only to see an air ship hovering above it.
"What the hell is that?"
"Your guess is as good as mine...should we?"
"no, we have to go home now... We're not what we used to be"
"It's going to be hard getting used to that" red said with a sigh as they ran back to red's house to see their parents packing the cars with thing
"There you two are, get in the car we have to go"tsume mom said as she was pulled into one car and red was pulled into the other, just being separated like this was hard for them.
tsume pov)
"Mom what's going on?"
"I don't know honey, all we heard on the radio was that we need to get out of town as quick as possible"
"But what about red?"
"Don't worry honey I'm sure his parents will follow right behind us and if we do get separated we will find them " tsume's father said as tsume sigh as she looked through the back window to see if Reds family car was following and they were, a small smile formed on her face but then a wash over of fear and worry started to overwhelm her she rolled down the window and took a look up to the sky and saw it was darkening with black clouds.
"Something's weird is going on"
she said to herself in a whisper, After they got out of town the exit to the city was blocked by cars from miles away, tsume pull down her cell phone and started to call red but only to see that there was no signal, lightning struck the sky as the wind started to pick up blowing debris past the cars and everything, Car horns could be heard beeping from up and down by the traffic as some people started to exit out of their cars looking up at the sky.
"Mom I think we need to get out of here"
"I would love to but there's nowhere for us to go"
"Then we need to just walk"
"Just stay in the car ,don't worry your father knows that he's doing" Her mother said as tsume turned to look in the back to see if Red's car what's there but sadly didn't see it. Now she was really starting to get scared, part of her wanted to just kick the door open and go out to face whatever that's going on but she remembered that she is not a Huntress anymore and she doesn't have the Huntress skill or power to do anything in this world she is nothing more than just an unskilled human.
"What should I do? Why did I have to wake up, why couldn't we stay at the school, why didn't we stay with ruby...i wish this wasnt reality" tsume shouted in her head as she shut her eyes wishing that she had the power that she did in Beacon until her thoughts were pulled away from a scream,She got out of the car and looked down as she saw that the concrete road was breaking and saw that some of the cars were being dragged into the ground
"Hurry get out of the car!"
She shouted , as her family did and started to make a break for it as the rest of the people did as well escaping from the cracks of the concrete road. tsume looked up at the city to see the airship still hovering until she realized what that airship was.
"It can't be, there's no way..."
"tsume!" a Voice shouted out to her making her turn around as she saw a red running over to her with his family traveling behind
"Red, you're not going to believe this"
"Yeah I think I know what you're about to say" he said as then a loud Screech can be heard they looked up in the sky and saw a giant black bird flying over the townspeople
"A Grimm, here in this world?"
"This can't be happening there nothing but cartoon"
"Yeah I thought that too until I saw this" red said holding up his phone showing a Beowolves picture on the beach.
"you don't think"
"i do" red said as they look at each other knowing what they had to do
" with or without powers it is our duties as Huntress and Huntsman to protect people"
"I got your back all the way" red said as they started to make a run for it but was stop by their parents
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Are you crazy, you kids can't run off now not in this crazy weather"
"Listen to me guys I know you think that this is crazy talk but me and red know what's going on here and we know how to stop this" tsume said
"What are you two talking about, I'm pretty sure this is just a bomb alert all we have to do is get past the cars and get to a shell"
"Mom you don't understand a shelter won't stop what's coming"
"And it's not a bomb it's...war" red said as their parents looked at them
"honey its ok its all the effect from your coma, your confused but don't worry everything will be alright, I won't let nothing bad happen to you " red's mom said touching the side of his face as she hugged him, red pulled away from the hug looking her dead in the eye serious
"I know you think we're crazy and I know you don't believe us because you didn't go to the world we did"
"World? what world are you talking about?"
"Beacon Academy"
"Is that a school?"
"You could say that, but listen you have to let me and red go out there in order to stop the Grimm's that are attacking the people" tsume said
"We know what we have to do to stop them, we've been trained for months with rey in order to become what we are Huntsman and Huntress"
" hunters and huntresses, beacon Academe? What are you two talking about you to never left the hospital when you hit the coma, for a month we've been in and out of your rooms and you've guys never been anywhere." red's mom said
"But Mom!"
"don't But me get in the car you too now!" she shouted just when they were about to do as they were told someone jumped on the car making them look up at a man wearing a brown coat with a white shirt and blue jeans with a cowboy hat that looks similar to rey.
"What do you think you two are doing why aren't you out there?" He asked them as he sat upon the car with his legs folded
"uh who are you?" tsume's mom asked him as he jumped off the car
"sorry for landing on your car but I'm going to need your two kids here"
"Excuse me?" tsume said folding her arms
"Buddy we don't even know you" red said
"Sure you do and I'm surprised that you were actually telling the truth when you said you were from this world" he said as tsume and rey gasp and realized who it was
"wait...rey?"
"Is that you?"
"The one and only"
He said giving a smirk Smile as the two kids hug him
"What are you doing here?"
"How did you get here?"
"What are you wearing?" they asked him looking at his outfit
"It's a long story, anyway why aren't you two out there taking care of the Grimm?"
"Are you kidding me we can't do that without our weapon"
"You lost your weapons?"
"We were ambushed and...." Red started to explain what but was cut off when their parents pulled them away
"Listen here bub, I don't want to get physical with you but stay away from our kids and just keep moving" red's dad said
"Dad stop , he's not going to hurt us he's our friend " Red try to explain to his dad but was silence by his mother
"Listen friend I am not here to cause any trouble, I know those two and let me say they are very good students of mine" rey said explaining
"Students of yours, in what?" tsume mom asked
"Very good students in ways you will never understand but I am asking you kindly to allow me to talk to them"
"no, just leave them alone"
"mom please his are friend "
"What did I tell you about making friends with hippies?!"
"Mom he's not a hippie, he's a cowboy, he just looks like a hippie because...Actually I can't explain that"
"Okay I can see that we won't get very far from this but if I can't speak to them then at least let me give them something" rey said as walked away for a minute and came back with two suitcases, he set them down near their parents and gave tsume and red a look as he turned to leave. tsume and red didn't know what was in the suitcases but they were put in a car and told not to move as the parents were watching over head of what was going on with the airship in the sky, the two of them open the suitcase and saw they had black coats with red and purple shirts with black pants and boots, once they removed there outfits red saw he had two indigo guns laying in opposite directions.
"Cool a new weapon" When tsume looked at her weapon it was a boombox that was sliver with red lining
"A boombox...Really rey?"
"looks cool to me"
"But it's just a boombox, how can this be my weapon?"
"Looks can be deceiving,So what do you say should we strap up and go kick some Grimm's butt?"
"But what about our parents?"
"they'll be fine"
"Yeah but if we leave now they're going to kick our butts when it's over"
"I rather get my butt kick later than now"
"You're right..."
"I'm pretty sure when Ray handed this to us he wanted us to meet him, so which will it be do we go or not?"
"I don't know, we finally got back to our real world and now all of a sudden it's turning into...."
"look,You said yourself we're Huntsman and huntresses and we have a job to do, it doesn't matter if we're just humans, Well technically Ruby and her friends are humans but they've been training to get the skills that they have and so have we, so what if this is the real world and our world doesn't believe in magic or monsters and stuff like that is just made up from their mind. You know that deep down in your heart that you do believe in that stuff and if what we're seeing is an Airship that's hovering over buildings and getting ready to launch an attack over us then god dammit I rather go down fighting than not do anything at all"
"aww, red That was a beautiful speech"
"Yeah and besides the cops here suck, I don't think they know what the Fuck they're doing"
"Yeah they do look pretty sad right now and I think it's up to us to show them exactly how to do it the right way."
"Does that mean we're going to suit up?"
"Yes that means we're going to suit up"
"yay! "
"But first I'll suit up, now get out of the car"
"But you heard what Mom said she said don't get out of the car without her say so"
"you're right... Well then close your eyes"
"Please honey I seen better"
red said as he turned his back away and covered his eyes with his hands only to get a kick in the back once tsume was done changing then red changed his outfit, that was a black bodysuit tsume head purple lining on the sides that ran up to her upper arm and the gloves were wrist length finger-less, red was also the same but his was red on the side.red loaded up his two guns with dust he found in the pocket of his suitcase, tsume picked up her Boombox which was Heavy and couldn't figure out how to activate it
"I can't do this" tsume said
"Don't give up now just when we're about to do the coolest thing ever"
"Don't worry I'm not giving up and yes we will do cool things it's just.... I'm worried"
"truth be told I'm scared too but I'm just swallowing real hard and trying not to think about dying right now and besides if you fall I'll catch you" red said as tsume laughed as she remembered when she fell out of the tree during their first training mission.
"So are you ready?"
"I'm ready" The two of them got out of the car drawing their parents attention when they slammed the car door shut
"What are you doing out of the car and what are you wearing?"
Red's mom ask them
"Look guys we're telling you the truth, you're just going to have to trust us on this" red said to his mother and father
"I will not allow the two of you to act as if you are heroes in your own world, your just normal teenagers wake up this is the real world!" tsume mom shouted at them
"I am awake mom and right now all I see is 100 people scared to death i cant sit back and watch this anymore" tsume said
"Yeah and pretty much the cops here they really don't know what to do, back and Beacon where the cops"
"Not helping red"
"It was the truth"
"Anyway we're going to go catch up with are teacher rey"
"I won't let you!" tsume mom said as she sigh
"As much as I really want to knock you out because you're trying to stop me I won't do it so instead whether you believe us or not we're still going" tsume said as she and red walked away from them , their parents wanted to stop them but couldn't bring themselves to do so, part of them actually believe what they said but what they were really afraid of was losing their kids.
"rey! "red and tsume shouted as they finally found rey sitting on top of a jeep bronze car
"what took you two so long "
"Yeah well when you're a teenager you come and tell us how easy it is to convince your parents to come and save the world" red told him
"So I see you guys are wearing my gifts how do you like them?"
"I like the guns but I miss my whip sword" red said
"And I really wish I had my hammer back, by the way what the hell is up with this Boombox and how do I Work It?!"
"that's easy didn't you read the manual?"
"What manual, you didn't give me a manual"
"You probably missed it , don't worry I'll show you and give you a brief introduction of your weapons but it's going to have to be quick"
