The Midnight Serpent (RWBY x Male OC)

Chapter 25: Quadrant 5

Midnight's POV

Me and my team were stood outside of a bullhead with none other than team RWBY, prepared and ready to fly over to quadrant 5. Over course, the 8 of us should be ecstatic about going on such a dangerous, treacherous mission, but...

Oobleck: why hello, students! Who's ready to fight for their lives?!

That was quick shoved out the window when we found out who we were shadowing.

Weiss: Professor Oobleck?

Oobleck: yes, I'm afraid those bags won't be necessary, seeing as you've opted to shadow a huntsman on what is now essentially a reconnaissance mission. I can assure you we will not be established a single base of operations, rather we will be traversing several miles of hazardous wasteland and making camp in any defendable locations we may stumble upon. I've pack all our essentials myself plotted the air course and readied the airstrip, AND...it's "doctor" Oobleck, I didn't earn a PHD for fun, thank you very much.

At that moment, Galand attempted to flee this whole situation, but he was stopped by Alpha grabbing the back of his jacket.

Oobleck: come now, children! According to my schedule we are already 3 minutes behind...schedule!

I looked over and saw Galand, still trying to break free over Alpha's grip and just walk away for this.

Alpha: if we have to go through this, so do you.

Galand: this is not what I signed up for!

Alpha: you wanted danger, and you're getting danger, no matter what the price may be.

Alpha then yanked Galand forward, causing him to fall on his butt before Alpha began dragging him towards the bullhead, kicking and screaming.

I just sighed, before looking over at team RWBY, who were currently talking to JNPR, along with Sun and this guy, Neptune.

Umbra: looks like we'll be going grimm hunting with team RWBY and that over caffeinated teacher of yours.

Midnight: well, I could think of worse ways to go about it.

Umbra: and hey, you'll be going camping with Goldilocks.

Even though I couldn't see his face, I could still feel Umbra's smug expression.

Umbra: anyway, you remember the agreement you made with Ozpin, don't you?

Midnight: yeah, I remember.

Umbra: good, now let's get on with it before I get bored.

Team RWBY finished their conversation with Team JNPR and we all piled into the bullhead. The engines hummed as we were lifted into the air. Yang spoke to Dr. Oobleck.

Yang: I guess I just never saw you as much of a fighter.

Oobleck: I admit, I fancy myself more of an intellectual, but I can assure you, I've had my fair share of tussles.

Ruby: like the mushroom?

Blake: those are truffles

Ruby: like the sprout?

Yang: those are brussles.

Oobleck: besides, given my expertise in the field of history, as well as my dabblings in the archeological surveys, our dear headmaster saw it fit to assign me to this particular assignment.

Weiss: what does history have to do with this?

Oobleck: why what a preposterous question, you silly girl, why history is the backbone of our very society, and the liver, and probably the kidneys if I were to wager!
