Diane was standing in hall she was wearing a white shirt and blue pants her hooves on the ground her hands raised in front of her. Ironwood, had taken all clothes off his upper body revealing his half mechanical body. He was wearing a pair of plain white pants covered his lower half but he was not wearing any shoes. He frowned as he put his organic hand on the metal half of his body “As you can see Diane, fighting is dangerous business. If you end up in a fight to the death all it take is one wrong move and you are dead, I’m going to explain one simple rule above all else in a fight to the death if you’re much faster and stronger than you’re opponent then you can kill them.”

Diane nodded “I understand dad.”

Ironwood frowned “Right well let’s begin with the basics, there are quite a few types of punches, a few of simple ones are jabs, straights, hooks and uppercuts this is a jab” his fist darted forward his arm extending partially beyond the elbow but not fully “this is a straight” he extended his arm fully out sending his fist forward forward “this is a hook” he swung his arm around in a curved motion “and this is an uppercut!” He swung his arm upwards fully extended as it sent him into the air before he landed on both feet with a soft thud.

He turned to her “Now you try.” Diane nodded as she launched a swift jab which Ironwood blocked with his arm followed by a straight which he blocked then a hook that actually got past his guard followed by a fierce uppercut.

Ironwood smiled as he landed on both feet “Now let’s have a little sparring match.”

Diane got a worried look on her face, Ironwood smiled “Don’t worry, I won’t go all out this is just a sparring match.”

Diane nodded “Alright father let’s do this.” They both swung a straights their fists slamming into each other, they then started testing each other’s guards with jabs.

Diane managed to get a hook past him, before delivering an uppercut to his jaw. She then ran at him as he landed, Ironwood smiled (Time to see how she can adopt to a changing scenario.) He swung a kick at her sending flying into the wall, she coughed up blood, Ironwood grimaced “She hasn't unlocked her aura yet, shit I forgot about that!”

What happened next was Diane’s body began to glow a bright pink before a wave of pink light flared out. Ironwood looked around in shock as the air was full of Diane’s aura, he struggled to move his body through the thickness of her aura, Ironwood shouted “Diane please stop.”

Diane turned to him her aura fading from the air, Diane grimaced she walked over to him “That was a dirty trick also what was that strange energy around me?”

Ironwood frowned “I was just trying to see how well you’d react to my change in strategy, also that energy is called aura it can protect you body from harm and increase your attack potency, you have far more of through what anyone I have ever known it was so thick I couldn’t move, with such a powerful aura I will have to teach you how to direct and control it.” Diane nodded as the pair continued their physical traning after Ironwood promised to not pull any more cheap tricks although with her aura unlocked he didn’t have to hold back against her.

Meanwhile in the large forests on the island of Patch, two Faunus one dark orchid with a rose mane and a rose tail her hooves on the ground her single arm resting at her side, another pony Faunus, this one a light blue with a rainbow mane and a rainbow tail hovered above her wings flapping behind her “Urghh where are we these trees are boring me?!”

Tempest grimaced “Rainbow you were the one who crashed into the thaumic capacitor and now we are young bipeds in the middle of nowhere, not mention Pinkie Pie is somewhere else. I hope she is safe, one of the machines that got sucked in hit on the head quite hard.”

Rainbow smiled “Pinkie will be fine she is tougher than you know, in fact her body fell apart once and she just put herself back together without an issue there was even a speck of blood or nothing.”

Tempest blinked “Really?”

Rainbow nodded “Yep, she is amazing.”

Suddenly a hoard of Beowolves jumped out, Tempest screamed her hand glowing as she fired a blast of magic at them before shouting “Run!”

Rainbow grimaced “Screw that, let’s fly.” She picked up Tempest or at least tired too. Rainbow shouted “You’re too heavy!”

The Beowolves leapt at them, they both closed their eyes only for a crow to fly in front of them before transforming into a tall man with dark spiky hair he was wearing a grey dress shirt as well dark grey dress pants and dark grey dress shoes. He swung a massive sword tearing the Beowolves clean in half, he then pulled out a flask and took a swig of it before he turned to them “Now can you two explain why are two Faunus kids wandering around these forests.”

Tempest explained everything in detail including where they were from, the man rubbed his nose “I wouldn’t believe you had you been found anywhere else but two Faunus children on their own on Patch that I have never seen or heard of is unusual, maybe Ozpin knows something he knows more than anyone else?”

Rainbow Dash frowned “Who are you anyway and where did you learn how to do that?”

Tempests scolded “That’s rude, he just saved our…”

The man laughed as he smiled at Rainbow Dash “I like you, straight to the point.” He then frowned “I’m Qrow Branwen, a Huntsmen it is our job to protect people and hunt monsters known as Grimm those Beowolves that attacked you are a type of Grimm.”

Tempest frowned “Where are we going?”

Qrow spoke firmly “You two will not tell anyone about this place you understand, not a soul.”

Tempest frowned saluting “You have my word.”

Rainbow Dash grinned “Rainbow ‘Secret Keeper’ Dash will not tell a soul, cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”

Diane meanwhile paused as she blocked a punch from Ironwood “I felt something strange calling out to me, never mind it’s not important.”

Back with Rainbow and Tempest, Qrow raised an eyebrow at Rainbow’s strange behaviour before shrugging “Come on let’s go.” Qrow lead them to a strange set of vines which pulled aside revealing a metal door, he got out a key and opened it, they entered a small grey room with various weapons on one wall as well as a small sleeping bag and a large metal desk with a large radio on it.

Qrow tapped a button on the radio activating it, he grimaced “Ozpin, we need to talk.”

Ozpin meanwhile was sitting in office when he received a beep on his scroll, he frowned as she saw Qrow’s name come up “Qrow, did something happen?”

Qrow frowned as he turned to the two young Faunus, “I found two young Faunus without parents they show far more traits of animals then most and one has wing despite being an Equine, they said they come from a land of ponies full of magic and got here because of a magical teleportation accident do you know anything about this?”

Ozpin smiled “It seems you have found a few Equestrians.”

Qrow growled slamming his hands on the desk “Ozpin you mean to tell me you knew about another dimension and about magic and you didn’t tell me!”

Ozpin took a deep breath “Qrow I have my secrets ones I keep from everyone, you can never be too trusting in this line of work.”

Qrow grimaced as he took a swing of from his flask “Doesn’t mean I have to like it” he shook his head “also another one of them ended up here and we have no idea where she is.”

Ozpin nodded “I’ll ask the others to keep a look out for any odd coloured Equine Faunus, in the meantime keep them safe, a friend of mine would certainly not want them harmed.” Ozpin smiled, he was completely aware of who would be visiting him soon, he did miss their conversations.

I hope I got Qrow right.
