Apocalypse AU: Zombie Apocalypse AU
Yang/ team rwby and team JNPR
Summary: When both team were enjoying the school life and going through the day of class life and wondering what the plan for the day was going to be. They all received the report of a strange virus on they scroll along with video footage of people and fauna attack and bite other as the report are coming across all four kingdoms.
Beacon Academy was supposed to be safe.
That was what Yang Xiao Long had always thought, anyway.
The morning had started normally enough. Ruby was half-asleep at the cafeteria table, face hovering dangerously close to her plate of pancakes. Weiss was lecturing her about “proper posture befitting a Huntress-in-training,” while Blake quietly read beside them, pretending not to be amused.
Across the table, Team JNPR was no better.
Nora was trying to convince Ren that syrup counted as a combat supplement. Jaune was nervously reviewing his notes for Professor Port’s class. Pyrrha, graceful as ever, was helping him study with the patience of someone who could probably pass the exam blindfolded.
Yang leaned back in her chair and grinned.
“So,” she said, cracking her knuckles, “what’s the plan after class? Training room? Sparring? Sneaking into Vale for noodles?”
Ruby instantly perked up.
Weiss sighed. “Absolutely not. We have assignments.”
Nora raised a hand. “Counterpoint: noodles.”
Before anyone could argue further, every Scroll in the cafeteria chimed at once.
The cafeteria fell silent.
Yang’s smile faded as her Scroll vibrated against the table. Ruby picked hers up first, silver eyes narrowing in confusion.
“Emergency broadcast?” Ruby muttered.
Weiss slowly lifted her own Scroll. “From the Vale Council…”
The holographic screen flickered, then expanded over the table. A news anchor appeared, pale-faced and shaking. Behind her, the words KINGDOM-WIDE HEALTH EMERGENCY flashed in red.
“This is an emergency report issued to all citizens of Vale, Mistral, Atlas, and Vacuo. Authorities are investigating an unknown viral outbreak affecting both humans and Faunus. Symptoms include fever, violent aggression, loss of speech, resistance to pain, and—”
For three seconds, there was static.
Then video footage replaced the broadcast.
A man staggered into view, his clothes torn, his skin grayish and veined. He lunged at a Huntsman officer and bit into his arm. The officer shouted, shoved him away, and fired a Dust round into the attacker’s chest.
“That… that should’ve stopped him,” she whispered.
A market square overrun by people clawing at shop doors.
Military Knights firing into crowds that kept advancing.
A sandstorm filled with silhouettes crawling, limping, and sprinting through the dust.
Then came the worst footage.
A small settlement outside Vale. Civilians barricaded inside a chapel. A young Faunus girl crying behind a pew. Someone at the door begging to be let in.
The broadcast cut back to the anchor, but she was no longer composed. Something pounded against the studio door behind her.
“All citizens are ordered to remain indoors. Do not approach infected individuals. Do not allow bitten persons inside secure shelters. Repeat—do not—”
The door behind her burst open.
For a long moment, no one moved.
Then Beacon’s alarm began to scream.
Red lights flashed across the cafeteria.
Professor Goodwitch’s voice came over the speakers, sharp and controlled, but not calm.
“All students are to report to the main hall immediately. This is not a drill. First-year teams are to remain together. Repeat: remain together.”
Around them, panic erupted. Students shoved away from tables. Some shouted into their Scrolls. Others froze, staring at the black emergency screen as if waiting for someone to tell them it was fake.
Ruby grabbed Crescent Rose from where it leaned against the table.
Weiss summoned Myrtenaster with a flick of her wrist.
Blake closed her book and rose silently, Gambol Shroud already in hand.
Yang flexed her fingers. Ember Celica unfolded around her wrists with a metallic snap.
Across from them, Pyrrha stood first. Ren followed, calm but tense. Nora’s smile was gone. Jaune fumbled with his shield, then forced himself to breathe.
“What do we do?” Jaune asked.
Ruby looked toward the cafeteria doors.
Outside, beyond Beacon’s tall windows, smoke was already rising from Vale.
Yang stepped beside her sister.
“We stay together,” Yang said. “We get to the main hall. We find Ozpin, Glynda, anyone with a plan.”
“And if the infected get inside?” Weiss asked.
Yang’s lilac eyes hardened.
Another scream echoed from somewhere down the hall.
A student stumbled into the cafeteria doorway, clutching his arm. Blood ran between his fingers. Behind him, another student lurched forward with an unnatural, jerking gait.
The injured boy looked at them with terrified eyes.
“He bit me,” he whispered.
The cafeteria went deathly quiet.
The attacker behind him raised its head.
Crescent Rose unfolded with a familiar mechanical roar, and the infected student slammed backward under the force of the scythe’s blunt edge. It hit the wall, twitched, then began getting up again.
Blake’s expression tightened.
Pyrrha drew her spear. “Then we disable them.”
Yang stepped forward, fists glowing.
The infected thing shrieked.
Yang punched it through a cafeteria table.
Wood splintered. Plates shattered. The body hit the floor and kept crawling.
More screams came from the hallway.
For a second, she was not the energetic team leader. She was Yang’s little sister again, scared and looking for an answer.
Yang put a hand on Ruby’s shoulder.
“Hey,” she said, forcing a grin. “We’ve fought monsters before.”
Ruby swallowed. “These aren’t Grimm.”
Yang looked toward the doors as the first wave of infected students and staff spilled into view.
“No,” she said quietly. “They’re worse.”
Jaune raised his shield with trembling hands.
Ren took position beside Nora.
Pyrrha stepped forward, calm and ready.
Blake vanished into shadow.
Ruby aimed Crescent Rose.
Yang’s hair began to glow like fire.
The apocalypse had begun.
And Team RWBY and Team JNPR were standing at the door.
