A Melodic Comedy

A/N: Welcome, one and all to...something that's ALSO in the Reactsverse! Yeah! Why I'm doing this? I see all these fancy-shmancy angsty OCs with their crappy backstories and their lack of inspiration, and I also see the lack of good OCs around this fandom- in this occasion, I shout out to Nutshop, G.N. Over-Kite, Half-Blind Otaku, and Dagger of Faith for their incredible OCs. So, in my infinite lack of wisdom, I decide to add crappy OCs to the archive! And you have to read them! Enjoy~

I take no responsibility for the crappiness this story contains. I just wanted to see if I could OC as good as my senpai~

DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise Blake-senpai would notice me~

I apologise in advance for any selling-out I may have been perceived to have done, crappiness and cringing I may have caused or induced in you guys.

Most fanficverses have a character or two made by the author, called original characters, or OCs, for short. Some take the backseat to our beloved protagonists, watching from the shadows, heroes of another story.

Yet others take the spotlight from them, overshadowing them, and so become what most call 'OP', or overpowered. These characters are often angsty, with broken pasts, and often unoriginal weapons.

This is neither. What will follow is the story of a completely ordinary team in Beacon...team MLDY- Melody.

Dust save us all...and them too.

"Ahh...it feels kinda nice, getting back to Beacon. Mistral's nice, but pretty boring." A girl strolled into Beacon, raising her hands and taking in the fresh air- she'd been in a taxi all the way from Vale after getting off an airship from Mistral- and looking at her beloved campus.

She was dressed in a green hoodie and short shorts- her legs were protected in combat by red shinguards. Her hair was the color of straw, and her wide eyes matched them perfectly. A pair of orange headphones hung her neck, and at her waist was a green, metal disc, intricately engraved with musical notation, with string coiled around it; this was her beloved weapon, Viridian Sonata, and, though it resembled a yoyo, it was in fact a deadly weapon that she could manipulate extremely well.

The girl in question was Melodia Viridi, leader of team MLDY- Melody, of course- and, of course, as many people were, a fangirl of the almost legendary team RWBY- that was, legendary equally for their battle prowess and antics.

Melodia sighed, heading off to her dorm. "I wonder where the rest of my team are...Fionn was off to some place called 'Ireland' and Lukas went back home...so that must leave...Yukari." She sighed.

"Please tell me the dorm's still intact..." The girl rushed to her dorm quickly, hoping that her teammate hadn't suddenly destroyed everything in her absence.

That is, until she was interrupted by a car-sized, red, honest-to-Dust mecha that resembled a giant face with cat ears drilling through the ground in front of her. She froze, her hand instinctively flying to Viridian Sonata. What the hell was-

The cat ears and the top half of the mecha's head dilated, revealing Blake Belladonna, sitting in the cockpit, a laptop in her lap and a cord attached to what was presumably the robot's dashboard, muttering to herself.

"Dammit. It seems the combining process needs something more than just shoving Neko-Lagann into Little-" Blake muttered, before looking to Melodia. "...are you a Sue?"
"A what?" Melodia's hands fell from her weapon, but she still wasn't sure.

"A Sue? One of those crappy original characters?"
"Uh...no?"

"You...entirely sure?" The catgirl looked at her carefully.

"...I'm pretty sure I'm not...a Sue?"
"Right." Blake sighed. "I have reason to believe some crappy original characters made their way onto the campus to try to kidnap Weiss." She facepalmed.

"Just why are these idiots trying to kidnap Weiss?"

"Kidnap...Weiss?" The girl looked confusedly at Blake.

"Bah. No problem." Blake waved her off. "If you see any weird, Weiss-obsessed weirdos who AREN'T Velvet Scarlatina, call me." With that, the cockpit of Neko-Lagann shut off and the mecha drilled back into the earth, leaving a mysteriously repaired path...and a squeeing Melodia.

"Oh...my...Dust! That was AWESOME!" She squeed. "Blake's, like, my hero! Oh my Dust oh my Dust she actually spoke to me..." Melodia gushed about the manly catgirl, singing her praises, until-

"Hey, Melody. Quit that." She stopped, looking behind her.

The boy standing behind her was clad in a red and blue jumpsuit, with red shades and his shoulders, shins and arms covered in metal braces. His black hair was swept back, and he was smiling. In his right hand was a large red and blue spear, its chrome head long and thin with a large crossguard at the point linking it with the handle. Its name was Mors Certa, although many gave it a different name- mainly his parents.

His name was Fionn Dubhain, partner and longtime friend to Melodia. And professional idiot.

"Fionn?" Melodia laughed. "Thought you were still in that 'Ireland' place or something."

"Came back early- like, a couple of months early." He laughed right back. "You miss me, Melody?"

"Only if you bought steak."

"You're fat." Fionn chuckled.

"Hey! Least I'm not the one dressed like a weirdo." Melodia shot back.

"Pfft." The boy chuckled, slinging Mors Certa on his back. "How was Mistral?"
"Boring. Parents didn't let me bring my portable SchneeVD player so I couldn't watch martial arts movies."

"So, you like steak again and you've started liking martial arts movies...you turned into Chie while I was gone?" Fionn remarked, which was met with a kick to the stomach by an offended Melodia.

"Quit playing those games! I don't even ACT like her! Stupid!" She muttered.

"Ow..." The boy doubled over slightly, clutching his stomach. "...you...put a little muscle on, didn't you..."
"You must've lost some." The girl adjusted her headphones, before helping Fionn get up. "...you saw Blake back there, right?"
"Yeah, sure. Giant mecha. Woo. Looks like Lagann." Fionn grunted; the kick in the stomach really hurt.

"That was awesome! Blake's antics are legendary! Come on!" Melodia declared. "YOU can't deny how awesome they are!"
"Sure, partner. Sure." Fionn sighed. "Come on, Melody. Let's get back to the dorm."
"Oh, wait, did you make sure Yukari didn't blow up the dorm?"

Fionn nodded. "Well, I kept her well-fed, watered and warm." He grinned cheekily.

"Still an idiot." Melodia chuckled. "So, what did I miss while I was in Mistral?"

"Oh, that Cinder Fall woman's teaching at Beacon now, apparently rumours are spreading that team RWBY met Risette in person, Nora from JNPR blew up the Dustnet servers AGAIN..." Fionn detailed the events of the last couple of months to his team leader, who nodded.

"Risette? Like, Risette Risette?"

"Apparently." He shrugged.

"And...Cinder Fall, as in, ex-leader of the White Fang Cinder Fall?"
"Uh huh."
"...man, I missed a lot." Melodia sighed. "I miss this place, y'know?"
"And I promise, as soon as Lukas gets back, we'll get steak." Fionn sighed.

"It's on you~" Melodia stated in a sing-song voice.

"I know..." The spearman sighed. He always ended up paying for everyone's things for some reason.

Soon, the pair made it back to team MLDY's dorm; their dorm wasn't far from the Malachites and Velvet's, and just under CRDL's dorm.

Eventually, the two entered the dorm; there were two bunk beds- proper bunk beds, as Melodia had nearly insisted on doing a hackjob of them, not unlike team RWBY, until Fionn had managed to persuade her to requisition proper bunks. Fionn and Melodia shared one bunk, Yukari and Lukas, their other teammates, the other.

Melodia's bunk was untouched, its green sheets undisturbed and the small lion plushie she so adored was lying on her lone pillow, while Fionn's bunk, typical of him, was disorderly and messy. On the opposite bunk, a brown-haired girl, dressed in a pink and green yukata, lay on the bed, her pair of short swords Twin Heavens lying on the foot of her bunk. She raised an eyebrow at Fionn and Melodia. "Hello."
"Nice to see you're getting rested, Yukari." Fionn remarked. "You getting ready to get all lovey-dovey with Lukas when he gets-" For his trouble, he got a pillow thrown at his face.

"Shut it, y-you stupid pervert..." The girl blushed. "I don't like him that much!"
"Ow..."

"Well, glad Yukari's still Yukari." Melodia chuckled. "Fionn still got his foot in his mouth?"
"Apparently."

"Hey!" Fionn hotly protested. "I don't ALWAYS have my foot in my mouth!"
"Implying I have feelings f-for that idiotic trickster. Pfft... y-you have an imagination, you know that?" Yukari glared at him.

"What the Dust did I do to get you two so pissed off at me?!" Fionn complained.

"Y-you're a stupid idiot, that's why." The girl turned away, blushing.

"Dammit." Fionn sighed. "...guess it's back to business as usual." He shrugged and sat down in his bunk. Melodia walked in further into the dorm, putting her briefcase on a desk at the foot of her and Fionn's bunk and started unpacking it.

"So, guys, I was thinking we should totally go out to that nice steak place in Vale..." Melodia offered.

"You're always thinking about steak or something meaty." Yukari sighed.

"Of course! Meat is the heart of a man's soul!"

"You're a man now, Melody?" Fionn cheekily remarked.
"S-shut it, Fionn! O-of course not!"

"I'm surprised she's still friends with you." Yukari facepalmed.

"Hey!"

"I am, too." Melodia grumbled.

"I'm just saying!" Fionn hastily declared.

"Ah, you three." All three of them turned to the door, as a tall, thin boy with long, blonde hair and clear, green eyes, dressed in a green and black shirt and jeans, with a smirk on his face, walked in. Fionn smiled. "If it isn't Lukas."
"Come on, it's only been, like three months since we last saw each other! Granted, it's been seven since the Reactsverse came into existence and we've only technically existed for a day..."Lukas shrugged.

"Huh, what?" Melodia looked confused.

"Nothing~"

"Oh. Hello, Lukas." Yukari waved at him, a tiny smile on her face.

"Yukari." The blond boy nodded to her, smiling back and laying his bags on the desk on the foot of their bunk.

"So, to celebrate our team getting back together, we should go out for steak! In Vale! And Fionn has to pay!" Melodia declared happily.

"What?! Why me?!"

"Because it's you, Fionn." Lukas smirked.

"Dammit, guys! Yukari, help!"
"Sorry." She shrugged. "Guess you'll have to pay it all. Especially considering that Melodia LOVES her beef bowls..."

Fionn merely groaned. "Man..."

"Ahem." All four of them turned around, to see Headmaster Ozpin, the prestigious head teacher of Beacon, in their doorway. Looking between each other for a second, they stood to attention, facing him.

"P-professor Ozpin!" Melodia said nervously.

"We didn't expect you, sir!" Fionn added.

"It's quite alright." Ozpin sighed. "You can all put away your worries for now, Miss Viridi and Mister Dubhain."

"Ah, sir." Lukas steepled his fingers. "To what do we owe this honor?"

"Well, actually, you four are to report down to the training area immediately." The headmaster declared. "I'd normally have the teachers tell you, but I felt like doing something else apart from watching everything and drinking coffee."

"Is that all you do?" Fionn tilted his head.

"It was a sarcastic remark, Mister Dubhain."

Melodia just punched him in the arm. "Idiot..."
"Hey!"

"As I was saying, Miss Viridi, Mister Dubhain, Mister Rasmussen and Miss Narukami, you four are to report downstairs for training." He nodded. "Not showing up will be punished by having to buy Glynda her monthly fix of strawberry cake; she is rather fond of the stuff. Any questions?"

All four members of team MLDY shook their heads.

"Good." Ozpin said. "I will be taking my leave of you now, have a good day." With that, he calmly walked out of the room.

"Well..." Melodia sighed, before grabbing her shinguards from her briefcase and putting them on. "Guess we'll be fighting as a team again."
"Yep." Fionn patted Mors Certa. "Definitely.

Yukari merely grabbed Twin Heavens and sheathed them in their scabbards, while Lukas grabbed a small satchel containing his weapons and slung it around his shoulder.

"Team, we ready?" The straw-haired girl turned to everyone.
"Yep."
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"Lead the way."

With that, team MLDY made their way off to the training room.

Little did they know what was to await them there...and no, it wasn't horrible death, silly, this is the Reactsverse.

Nah, it's an awesome fight scene. Which you'll just have to wait for until next time~

END...to be continued...

A/N: So here ends the first part of what might simply be a two-parter OC fic attempt by moi, tomorrow will either be the continuation or another Reactsverse Oneshot, depending on how my attempt is received.

For those curious, Melodia is based off the folk tale of the Clever Girl- not immediately obvious but it'll be more so later- Fionn is based off of Cu Chulainn, Yukari is Miyamoto Musashi and Lukas is Loki.

So, I hope you guys enjoyed it, leave your reviews, comments, ideas, thoughts and suggestions and I'll see you next time!
