Caboose in Remnant

Chatper 8 Day Dreaming part 2

Caboose and the group were back together with one edition, Velvet who was happily giggling about something with the girls as the boys just sat around eating their burgers. The super soldier smiled to himself, when Velvet sat down with them 15 minutes ago, she had a nervous fidget to her and was very quiet. He knew it wouldn’t remain that way with this group, immediately when the girls turned their attention to her, he knew with their personalities it wouldn’t be long before she got comfortable and was talking freely. Caboose took a bite of his cheese burger as he turned to Ren and Jaune playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. He watched as they shoot and Ren coming out victories and taking one of Jaune’s fries, again they shoot but this time Jaune won with a rock and grabbed one of Ren’s fries. Caboose decided he wanted some of this action. “Hey guys let me in on this but lets up the anti.”
“What do you have in mind Caboose?” Ren asked with a cocked eyebrow.
“Well, I got some super hot sauce called, The Grimm Dread,” Caboose pulled up a whole hand full of packs.
“That is one of the hottest hot sauce in all of Remnant…” Jaune stated as he gulped.
“So shall we?” Caboose said with a smile as his two male friends looked at each other and nodded.
“Rock, Paper, scissors. Shoot!” They yell as they thrown down, Jaune had paper, Ren had rock and Caboose had scissors.
They all groaned and heard the girls giggle at them before they reached for a packet of hot sauce. They all opened their packets and whimpered as the smell invaded their nose causing their eyes to water. They gulped as they slowly raised their packets to their mouth and Caboose said. “I know it's been only two days but I consider you guys brothers!”
“I second that, Caboose!” Jaune said and Ren nodded as they all drained the packets into their mouths.
The girls watched on as the boys faces deadpan as they stared straight ahead. They all looked at each other confused when nothing happened for a whole minute, no reaction or peep out of them.
“Do you think Jaune was thinking of another hot sauce?” Ruby questioned.
“Maybe… Hey Caboose, Ren and Jaune how are you guys feeling?” Yang asked them but nothing happened.
“Um… guys?” Pyrrha’s eyebrow was cocked, so was everyone else's.
The guys turned towards them very slowly as their eyes widened and faces became red as apples. The ladies were slightly taken back by their gesture and backed up slightly before the guys let out screams of it being super hot and grabbed their milk and downed the drink in seconds. It gave their mouths a second of solace but then the heat came back and they grabbed their throats and screamed. Everyone in the cafeteria looked at them like they were crazy before the trio got up and ran for concession stand. There was a jug of milk and they looked at each other with their tongues hanging out before rushing for the milk jug, fighting each other all the way there. Caboose managed to grab it and opened it and began to chug the drink down but then Ren ripped it out of his hands and took a drink. Jaune came up and knocked the milk out of his hands before catching it and taking a swig. People laughed as the guys fought over the milk but some were amazed at the fact that nothing had spilled. Now Ren had kicked the jug out of Caboose’s hands right after he took it from Jaune. To everyone’s surprise the milk jug landed perfectly, not spilling a drop, the guys looked at each other before charging towards it again. Ren reached it first and picked it up only for it to be knocked into the air by Caboose, he took hold of it but Jaune managed to break his grip with a swift hard smack to his forearm and before the jug hit the ground. He caught it with his foot and balanced it, only for Ren to kick it back up to chest level where the guys tried to take hold of it only for it to be knocked out of their hand. Everyone who were laughing stopped and watched on with awe as the guys kept the jug at chest level and quickly took sips from the jug of milk. Soon enough the milk was gone and the guys exhausted from their game of “milk” sack and the inferno caused by the hot sauce that they didn't hear everyone clapping and cheering for their performance. They returned to their seats and immediately the girls set down their cartons of milk in front of them. They nodded a thanks before opening one up and gulping it down.
“You guys were on fire.” Yang chuckled.
“The only thing that was on fire was my mouth.” Jaune said as he rested his head against the cool table.
“We might as well be on fire… Man that hot sauce has a kick to it.” Caboose stated as he rubbed his face. “I can't feel my face… it feels quite nice. So, who is up to go again?”
Jaune and Ren looked at Caboose like he was crazy and shook their heads. The blue warrior shrugged and turn to the girls, most shook their heads except for Pyrrha and Yang.
“Alright ladies, grab your packets!” Caboose grinned before they grabbed a packet each. “Bottoms up!”
The three friends downed the hot sauces in one go and Caboose’s face immediately turned red as he tried really hard not to scream his head off. Yang’s face was neutral until a smirk appeared on her lips as she watched her blue soldier suffer. Pyrrha looked at Caboose and shrugged with a small smile. Everyone at the table looked at the girls like they were inhuman. Caboose only grimaced then everyone heard his stomach gurgle and his eyes widened before he got up from the table and ran for the rest room.
The others looked at each other with concern for their blue friend. Ruby grabbed a packet and saw a warning on the back that you should only have one packet… a week. “Oh no…”
-Santa’s Combat Class-
The teams entered a few minutes before the bell rang and they took their seats. Caboose was feeling better after he had emptied his stomach of the Grimm’s Dread into the toilet bowl but his stomach was still upset with him. He reached over and gripped the handle of his Buster Blade before he pressed the button that released Freckles. He grabbed his Assault Rifle and laid it across his desk. The girls looked over at him with their eyebrows cocked, he looked over at them and grimaced before he turned back to his gun.
“Freckles… How have you been buddy?”
“Good, sir… How may I help you?”
“Nothing, just wanted to check on my buddy.” Caboose whispered as he scratched the back of his head. “Actually… I’ve been thinking about what has happened in the past few days and realized I don’t remember anything from waking up in the forest.”
“Sir, may I suggest seeing the school medic.” Freckles suggested as Caboose picked him up.
“I think I’ll do that after school…” Big Blue said as he began to pick at some grime on his companion.
“Has something been bothering you, Sir?”
“Yeah, I had a strange dream or was it a vision… I don’t really know… Anyways I was talking to these two guys who wore the same type of armor, who were also assholes… I was so confused, they talked like they knew me and like I was some sort of idiot…”
“Understood, sir, if we ever meet them, I will handle them with extreme prejudice.”
“You do that Freckles, alright back into the blade you go bud.” Caboose said as he placed his companion back into his buster sword.
Caboose looked up to see Santa staring up at him with an annoyed expression leaning against his desk.
“Finally care to join us Michael?” Santa questioned as he moved away from his desk. Caboose gulped and nodded his head, Santa smirked. “So who would like to fight today?”
Immediately Ruby’s hand shot up and she bounced up in down, Caboose and Yang chuckled while Weiss and Blake smiled. Santa smiled and nodded at her, then Ren’s hand shot up, Mr.Chrous gestured them to come down. They walked down onto the stage and turned to face each other, Ren flicked his hands outwards and his pistols sprang forth from his sleeves. Ruby grabbed her compacted scythe off her back and spun it until it open up to its true form. Santa raised his hand up and looked at each of them, they nodded their heads then he chopped the air and jumped away. Ruby immediately swung her scythe using the weapons reach but Ren ducked under the blade. He jumped away and fired his pistol sickles at her but Ruby spun her scythe blocking all of the bullets meant for her. Ren landed and continued to fire his pistols as Ruby jumped onto the wall to dodged the bullets before she launched herself at him. Ren’s eyes widened as he barely dodged Ruby's scythe but it caught him by the shoulder. He grunted and blocked her follow up attack after she landed.
In the stands the respective team members cheered for their teammate. The other students watched on in awe as both combatants moved around the stage with incredible speed. Ren blocked Ruby’s scythe and brought his other pistol sickle to bare and fired point blank but Ruby used the butt of her staff and smacked him upside of the head causing him to fire towards the crowd. Everyone ducked but the bullets made contact with a shield barrier. Ruby spun her Scythe around and slammed the staff part of her scythe onto his head again, Ren crashed to the floor. Then Little Red jumped back and fired her sniper multiple times at the down Ren but he managed to recover as the first bullet made contact with his Aura, he stagger back and let out a yelp before he deflect the 50 cal. rounds away.
Ruby smirked as she fired her last shot before dashing towards him with the bullet. As he deflected the bullet, Ruby appeared next to him and caught him around the stomach and flung him into the air then caught him around the neck with the scythe blade and slammed him into the ground. Ren groaned as he laid on the ground, the monitor tracking their auras signaled the end of the match with Ren’s aura close to breaking and Ruby’s at half.
“Winner of the match, Ruby Rose of team RWBYC!” Santa proclaimed and team RWBYC high five each other.
Ruby offered a hand to Ren as he looked up from the ground. He nodded and took her hand. “Good fight Ruby.”
“Same to you Ren.” Little Red smiled as she pulled him up.
Santa tapped a few buttons on his gauntlet and the shield barrier came down. “Well done both of you, now back up to the stands.”
They nodded and returned to their respective teams. As Ruby sat down, Yang dropped her arm over her shoulder. “Dang little sis, look at you becoming a ruthless fighter even towards your friends!”
“I am not!” Ruby pouted.
“Are too!” Yang teased with a grin on her face.
They went back and forth while Blake and Weiss shook their heads with a smile. Caboose was chuckling at them before they stop and Ruby turned to him still pouting. He smiled at her. “Good job, Little Red…” She smiled at him. “But I hope I never get on your bad side!”
“Now you're getting it Big Blue!” Yang chuckled as she clapped him on the back.
She pouted again before she unleashed a flurry of punches on his arm while he tried not to laugh out loud. The other girls chuckled and giggled at the display, Santa shook his head. “Alright, Caboose get down here, so you can stop interrupting my class that is not helpful!”
They stopped immediately and Caboose got up and headed down onto the stage with Buster Blade on his back. Santa looked up at the stands to find someone to fight him. Then someone raised their hand towards the back of the class, he gestured for the person to come up. Everyone turned to look to see a young man wearing all black with a duster coat with a flaming skull patch on his right shoulder. On his hip was a Long Sword, its hilt was wrapped in a blood red leather.
“Ah, Holden Cross glad you decided to participate today…” Mr.Chorus said as he walked onto the stage.
“Sorry teach, I wasn't feeling it yesterday…” He said as he looked at Caboose up and down. “So is it true?”
“Is what true?” Caboose questioned with a cocked eyebrow.
“That you held off a horde of Grimms back in the Emerald Forest.”
Caboose nodded his head and Holden smiled. “Interesting, this should be fun then.”
Caboose’s stomach gurgled and he glared down at it.  His stomach wasn't going to like this at all. He looked back at Holden as he drew his Longsword and held it at the ready. He pulled his buster blade off his back and it pulse blue as he rested it against the ground and Freckles voice came from the blade. “Online and ready, Sir.”
