Beacon Academy

After spending the night in jail, the officers had escort him to a airship that Blaze was currently on heading to Beacon academy, he calls it metal bird. He was sitting in the back away from the rest, considering some of the people on the ship was giving him looks, most was hatred, he just ignored them. Blaze wasn’t the only one that was in the back of the ship, there was girl with black hair who had pair of white hair bun covers on her head, she was wearing a dress with flowers, she was also wearing sandals with socks. It also looked like she was covering something with her hair witch Blaze thought was weird, she was leaning against the wall playing with her Yojo.

Blaze look over the rest of the humans in the air ship, well not all were human. He saw a Faunus girl with blue hair, she was wearing a pair of blue jeans and her jacket was also blue, she was probably wearing a blue shirt, she had a tail and pair of ponies ears. She was currently looking out of the window and her tail was swinging back and forth, it was like she never had been on an airship before, Blaze thought it was cute. He also saw a sword that was leaning against the wall near her.

Other than the girl Faunus girl, Blaze saw one human that he actually recognized, the girl with red hood. She was currently talking to a big girl with blond hair or was it golden? He didn’t know. Blaze wasn’t sure if he would ever understand this world. Blaze then let out yawn. ‘Bloody bed in jail.’ Blaze didn’t get much sleep thanks to the uncomfortable bed he sleep on.

Blaze was about to close his eyes but then he saw something, a human male walking towards the female Faunus. The male was wearing black pants, green shirt and a spiked spaulder on his left shoulder, her had a mohawk hairstyle which was light green. Blaze didn’t like the way he look at her, it was with disgust. He tap the girl on her shoulder she turned around, Blaze could barely hear what they were saying.

The Faunus look a nervous when she saw him. “Can I help you?” She ask him a nervous voice.

“I want to know what a Faunus like you are doing on a ship to Beacon.” The man said with anger.

The girl was now a little afraid. “I am going to Beacon academy to become a huntresses.”

“A filthy Faunus like you? Are they giving out a free pass or something? A Faunus like you has nothing to do at Beacon so I suggest you pack you bag and leave.”

Blaze was just in shock of the behaviour of the human, why would he threat the female Faunus girl like that? He look around the ship and saw that no one was going to anything, they were just standing there, the made Blaze mad. If no one was going to do something then he would, he got up and started to walk towards them.

“Hey.” Both the human and the Faunus look in his direction. “Leave her alone.” He told the human as he walk towards them.

Both of them look at Blaze. “Mind your own business Faunus, this dosen’t concern you.”

Blaze stopped right in front them. “I’ll make it my concern when you are bulling a Faunus without a reason.”

“Without a reason? This filthy Faunus dosen’t belong here and neither do you.” The human told Blaze while poking him the chest.

That was the last straw for Blaze, before anyone could blink, Blaze had grabbed the human shirt and lifted him up in the air. “I don’t know what your problem is, but I suggest you keep it to yourself. Saying that she dosen’t belong here is bullshit, she wouldn’t be her if she hadn’t earn the right to, so I suggest you take that attitude of your and shoved it up your ass or I am going to throw you of this ship, got it.” The human was now sweating he was terrified, and Blaze saw it in his eyes.

“”I got it man, just don’t kill me.”

“Good.” Blaze let him down. “Get lost.” The human ran off. Blaze look at the female Faunus, she was shaking a little. “You ok?” He ask her.

“Yeah, thank.” She said in a shaky voice.

Blaze gave her a smile. “Don’t mention it.” He walk back to where he sat before and sat down letting out a sigh. ‘I really hate bullies.’ He leaned his head back and closet his eyes.

“Uhu, excuse me.”

Blaze opened his left eye to see who was talking, it was the girl with the red hood. “Well, well. Isn’t it miss Rose.” He closed his eye again. “What can I do for you? Do you need saving again?”

“Yeah, about that, I guess I forgot to thank you for that, thanks.”

“Don’t mention it, you were in danger, so I did what was right.”

“Wait, you were telling the truth Ruby?” Blaze opened both his eyes to see who was talking, it was the girl with blond hair.

Ruby look at the blond. “Of course, I was telling the truth, this Faunus saved my life.” Ruby said in annoying tone. “Why would I lie about that?” She told the blond girl. “Wait.” Ruby look at Blaze again. “How did you know my last name?”

“Ozpin told me he visit me after he had talk to you.”

“Oh, that makes sense. Anyway, thanks again, for saving me and helping the Faunus girl.”

Blaze just waved his hand. “Don’t worry about it.” He was about to close his eyes again when he notice that girl with the blond hair was still staring at him. “Something I can help you with blondie?”

She didn’t like that. “Hey, don’t call me blondie, I have a name.”

“Considering I don’t know your name I’m calling you blondie.” That made Ruby giggle.

She blushed a little. “Right, my name is Yang Xiao Long, and Ruby is my little sister.” Yang decided to ruffle Ruby’s hair with Ruby didn’t like, she just waved away Yang’s hand away.

“Yeah, I am not going to remember that name, so I am sticking with blondie.” That made Yang to roll her eyes.

“So, what’s your name then?” Ruby ask him.

“It’s Blaze Fury.”

Ruby nodded her head. “Nice to meet you Blaze.”

Yang put an arm around her sister. “See Ruby, you can make new friends beside me.” Blaze wouldn’t go that far. “I have to ask you Blaze, just how old are you? You look a little old to enlist to Beacon academy.”

“If you must know, I am twenty three.” That made both of the girls eyes to widen. “What? Did I say something wrong?”

Ruby. “Your twenty three? You must be seventeen to enlist into Beacon.”

“Really? I didn’t know that, how old are you?” He asked Ruby.

She hesitated a little. “I’m fifteen.” She told him while looking down on the floor.

“Then what is the difference that you are too young and I'm too old?” Both sister’s didn’t know what to say. “Look, it’s was this or jail and I don’t want to spend my life in jail for something I didn’t do.”

Both of them was about to say something when the news folk started to speak. “The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities.” Then a picture of Roman appeared, and Blaze recognized him for yesterday. “If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale police department.”

Blaze couldn’t help but snort, there was no way he was going to do that. Considering that the police arrested him for a crime that did didn’t commit.

Then a human with grey hair appeared. “Thank you, Cyril. In other news this Saturday’s Faunus civil rights protest…” Blaze then saw some Faunus appeared in the upper right corner with posters. “…turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony.” The White Fang, Blaze didn’t like that name. “The once peaceful organization has now disrupted…”

That was all the lady could say as the broadcast ended and a lady appeared that Blaze recognised from the other night, she had blond hair, she was wearing a white shirt and black pants, she also had some sort of purple cape which Blaze thought stupide on her. All on the air ship look at her.

She then started to speak. “Hello, and welcome to Beacon!”

“Who’s that?” Yang asked.

The woman. “My name is Glynda Goodwitch.”

“Oh.” Yang said with surprised, Blaze couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Glynda continued to talk. “You are among a privileged few who have received the honour of being selected to attend this prestigious academy.” Blaze wasn’t selected, it was either this or prison. “Our world is experience an incredible time of peach,” Somehow, Blaze found that hard to believe. “and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it.” ‘It didn’t look like peace in the news.’ Blaze thought for himself. “You have demonstrated the courage needed for suck s task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world.”

“Wow.” Ruby then walk over to the window.

Blaze couldn’t help but be curious of what she was looking at, he turned his head and boy was he surprised of what he saw. Canterlot castle had nothing on Beacon.

Ruby. “Look, you can see Signal from up here.” Blaze had no idea what Signal was, he was to focuses on Beacon.

He was brought back to realty by a human boy coming towards him and it look like he was going to throw up. “Well.. I guess the view isn’t for everyone.” Said Yang.

Ruby. “It was a nice moment while moment while it lasted.”

Yang. “I wonder who we are going to meet.”

The boy got closer to Blaze. “Hey, if you are going to puck then do it somewhere ells, away from me.” That got the boy to stop, he then decided to throw up on his shoes. Then Ruby said that Yang had puke on her shoes and then she started to chase Ruby, for some reason.

When the ship finally landed and the door opened, vomit boy ran out to find the nearest thrash can. Blaze decided to get up and head out the door. When he came out he could see vomit boy throwing up the trash can, Blaze couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing on a ship if he got airsick.

“Get out of my way Faunus.”

Blaze could feel someone bump into him it was a human girl. She had black hair with some silver in it, she was wearing knit-hooded vest that's colored dark velvet, she had pair of black cargo shorts.

“Blaze.” He look to his side to see Ruby and Yang. “Did you know that girl?” Ruby ask him.

“Nope, never seen her before.” They vomit boy throw up some more. “If you two will excuse me, I am going to get far away from that guy.” He pointed his thumb towards the human that had his head in the trash can, he started to walk.

Yang. “We are right behind you.” Ruby and Yang followed him.

As they walk, all three couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer size at Beacon. “The view from Vale got nothing on this!” Blaze didn’t know what Yang was talking about, he only knew that Celestia’s castle had nothing on Beacon academy.

He then notice Ruby started to stare at some humans walking past her. “Ooh! Ooh! Sis! That kid has a collapsible staff! And she’s got a fire sword.” She look like a little girl on Heart’s Warming Eve.

Yang had to grab her by the hood to calm her down. “Easy there, little sister. They’re just weapons.”

Ruby wasn’t happy by what her sister said. “Just weapons? They’re an extension of ourselves! They’re a part of us!” Blaze didn’t think that weapon was that important around here. “They’re so cool” She squeal like a little girl.

“Well why can’t you swoon over your own weapon? Aren’t you happy with it?” Yang ask her.

Ruby then took out her own weapon. “Of course, I’m happy with the Cresent Rose!” Blaze thought that was weird name for a weapon, what did he know. “I just like seeing new once.” She then look at Blaze. “Hey, Blaze. Do you have a weapon?”

“No.”

Both girls was shocked when they heard that. “You don’t have a weapon?” Yang ask him, Blaze just shook his head. “How are you going to protect yourself?”

“I think that Ozpin is providing me with a weapon, it sounded like that yesterday.”

Ruby. “Wow, Ozpin is giving you a weapon, that’s so cool.”

Blaze just shrugged his shoulders. “I guess so.” He started to walk. “I’m going to have a look around, you two can do whatever you want.” He told them.

He didn’t get far before Yang ran past him with others humans, Blaze had no idea why she was in a hurry and didn’t really care. He then heard a crash behind him, out of curiosity he turned around and saw Ruby lying a pile of suitcases, then a girl with white hair and dress started to yell at Ruby. She then started to talk about Duse and the Schnee Quary, Blaze had no idea what those names meant. Then new girl started to wave a bottle with red powder in Ruby’s face, Ruby sneezed and the white girl explode, the bottle then flew up in the air and landed near a new girl. Blaze stop caring after that, he walk away.

Blaze decided to follow the rest of the humans to see where everyone was going, he ended up in a giant hall that was filed with people. He notice that jerk from the ship, the Faunus he saved, the girl with the red dress and blondie. She was easy to spot thanks to her hair, he didn’t see the girl that bump in to him, which was dumb, he wanted to tell her that wasn’t nice.

He then notice Ruby and the boy who threw up walk in, Ruby ran over to her sister who had saved her a spot. Blaze decided to stand with them, considering they were the only one he knew.

He stood by Yang’s right side. “How’s your first day going, little sister?” Yang ask Ruby.

“She was trying to get to know a girl in a strange way.”

That Blaze spoke scared Yang that she jump into Ruby’s arms. “Blaze, where did you come from?” Yang ask him.

“From the ship?” They didn’t know if he was sarcastic or not.

“That was not what I meant, how did you appeared right beside me without me noticing?” Yang ask him while getting out form Ruby’s arms.

He crossed his arms. “Apparently I am very stealthy.” The sister gave each other a confusing look, not sure what to make of this Faunus.

“Did you say that Ruby tried to make friends with someone?” Blaze nodded. Yang then turned to Ruby. “Really?”

“You mean since you ditched me, and I explode!?” Blaze saw that.

“Yikes. Meltdown already?” Meltdown?

“No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school… There was a fire… and I think some ice.”

“…Are you being sarcastic?” Blaze wanted to say something, but he also wanted to see where this conversation was going.

Ruby snorted. “I wish!”

As Ruby talk, Blaze could see the same girl with the white hair sneaking up on Ruby. “You.” Said the girl.

Ruby then jump into Yang’s arms. “Oh god, it’s happening again!”

“You’re lucky we weren’t blown off the side of the cliff.” Said the new girl.

Yang. “Oh my god, you really explode.”

“It was an accident.” Ruby said as Yang put her down. “It was an accident.” Then the girl shoved a paper in Ruby’s face. “What’s this?”

“The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product…” She then started to talk fast.

When she was finished, Yang leaned over to Blaze. “Did you understand what she was saying?” Yang whispered to him.

“Not a word.” Blaze answered.

Ruby was also confused. “You really want to start making things up to me?” The girl ask Ruby.

“Absolutely.”

The girl then handed Ruby the paper. “Read this and don’t ever speak to me again.”

She was about to go when Blaze spoke up. “What’s you problem?” All three girls look at him and the new girl wasn’t happy.

“Excuse me?”

“I ask you what you problem is, maybe it was an accident.”

The girl then walk over to him. “Do you know who I am?” She asked him.

“You look like a pamper princess to me,” Ruby had to put both hands over mouth to contain her laugher when he said that. “Am I wrong?”

The girl wasn’t too happy right now. “Pamper princess? My name is Weiss Schnee and my father is the president of the Schnee company, we are the largest producers and exporters in Remnant. I could have my father destroy your family like that.” She snap her finger.

Blaze wasn’t impressed. “Go ahead, my family is dead so you would only destroying me.”

That chance Weiss expression from anger to sad. “Sorry, I didn’t mean…”

Blaze cut her off. “Whatever, just get lost.” Weiss said nothing, she just left. Blaze saw that Yang and Ruby also had sad faces. “Not a word, I don’t need your sympathy.”

They never got the chance as Ozpin walk over to a microphone and started to speak, Glynda was standing beside him. “Ahem… I’ll keep this brief. You have travelled here today in search for knowledge.” Blaze couldn’t help but snort when he heard that. “To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people.” Blaze found hard to protect a rase he knew nothing about. “But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step.” Not the most inspiration speech Blaze had heard.

Ozpin then walk away and then Glynda step up to the microphone. “You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready.” Blaze couldn’t help but smile a little. ‘Initiation? That sounds interesting.’ Blaze thought for himself. “You are dismissed.”

Yang. “He seemed kind of off.”

Ruby. “It’s almost like he wasn’t even there.”

“Oh, he was.” The girls turned to Blaze. “He just didn’t care I could see it in his eyes.” Before they girls could say anything, Blaze walk off, he wanted to find good spot in the ballroom.

The night had fallen, and Blaze had found himself a place near the window in the corner of the room, so he could look out into the night. As he look into the darkness that was this world, he couldn’t help but wonder if he ever could get home. you are probably wondering why Blaze aren’t freaking out, what good is that going to do him? He can just go around and shout ‘I want to home to Equestria,’ if he did that then people of this world would think he is crazy.

He look around the room, he saw Ruby and her sister were in the middle of the room and Yang gave him a wink? He had no idea why, then he look down and noticed that he only had pants, no shirt and she could see his upper body, that’s why. Then he saw Ruby throw a pillow at her sister, Blaze couldn’t help but smile of that, sisters. He look around the room and he could see the Faunus that he help, he then saw a girl lighting a candle and was trying to read, this one had a bow on her head that looked ridiculous.

“Oh, come on, what did I do now?”

Blaze look to his right and saw a human boy with light brown hair, he was sitting on the floor fiddling with some kind of sword. “Nice sword you have there.” Blaze told him. That scared the boy. ”Holly crap.” He almost dropped the sword on the floor, the boy look at Blaze with some annoyance. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.

The boy calmed down. “Don’t worry, and yes you scared me.” He went back to his weapon.

“What kind of sword is that? I have never seen one before.” Blaze ask him.

The boy look at him with smile. “This is the Lawgiver, it’s a long scimitar with a revolver that's built into the blade's and its hilt. The guard on the blade also serves as the weapons crosshairs.”

“Sounds impressive.”

The boy’s smile didn’t go away. “I know, it took me months before I got it right, the ammo chamber blew up in my face to many times before I got that part right.” Blaze had no idea what an ammo chamber was.

“You got to be kidding me Applejack, we have to sleep on the floor.”

Blaze and the boy look in the direction of the voice, they could see two Faunus female arguing, they both had ears and tail. One of them had purple hair and look a little elegant, the other had blond hair and a cowboy hat? Which Blaze thought was weird, but the hat somehow fit her.

“I know you are upset Rarity but it’s only for tonight, tomorrow we will be in a team and will be given rooms so just bear it for now.” Said the one with the hat.

Rarity huffed. “Fine, I will survive for now.”

“Finally.” Said a new voice, Blaze could barely see her considering she was lying on the floor, her hair was multicolour? She was Faunus like the two others. “You never complain when we have sleepover with the girls.”

Rarity look down on the laying girl. “That's different Rainbow Dash, there we had sleeping bags here we are lying on a mattress that probably has been used before, I don’t like it.” They continued to argue or whatever they were doing.

The boy then said. “Huh, I guess that not everyone likes this.” Blaze nodded in agreement.

He then saw the Weiss walking towards Ruby and her sister who was talking to the girl Blaze saw earlier, the one with the bow. Then Weiss started to argue with them, he couldn’t hear them, but he saw it. He then notice a girl on the corner of his eyes, she didn’t look happy that they were arguing, it was the same girl that bump into him. She then threw something that look like a dagger at the Ruby and the rest, it missed them and hit the wall. She then got up and walk over to them, she pulled the dagger out of the wall, said something to the girls and went back to where she was sleeping. Ruby and the rest did the same.

Then Blaze spoke. “I think we better get some sleep, I guess we have a big day tomorrow.” The boy next to him agreed with that, but away his weapon and went to sleep. Before Blaze lay down, he look at the girl who was reading, and he could swear that her bow moved. Blaze shrugged it off and lay down on his stomach and took one last look out the window. “I wonder what tomorrow will bring.” He then feel asleep.

Author's Note

Yes, three of the main 6 is in the story. I thought that AJ, Dash and Rarity was those three that was best suited to become Huntresses.

Teammates

“WAKE UP LAZY BUD!”

Blaze was startled by whoever was yelling, he place his pillow over his head. “It’s too early for this shit.” He was just to be up early thanks to be a guard but considering he hadn’t have decent good sleep since he got to this weird world, he want to sleep.

“Cheer up.” Blaze removed his pillow to see who was talking, it was the boy from yesterday. “Today we are going to be assigned teams and then dorms, then you can sleep as long as you want, expect when we have classes.” Blaze had forgotten about that, today was apparently the day were going to be signed teams. “By the way, I never got your name last night.”

“It’s Blaze Fury.”

The boy smiled. “Nice to meet you Blaze, my name is Tyr Laraan.”

Blaze just gave him a nod. “Yeah, do you know if there somewhere I can take a shower? I haven’t take one for at least three days.” He ask Tyr as he got up, he decided to sniff his armpits, bad mistake considering it didn’t smell good.

Tyr got up from his own bed. “Yes, I know where they are, follow me.” They both got dress and went to take a shower.

After they had done that, they went to the dining hall to eat, Tyr decided to sit at the same table as Blaze which he didn’t mind. Other than Ruby and her sister, Tyr was the only one he ‘knew’ at Beacon.

“Hey Blaze.” The former pegasus look up from his food. “How old are you? You look a little old to be here.” Blaze knew that question would come, considering that Ruby already ask him.

“I’m twenty three.”

Tyr tilted his head in confusion. “Really?” Blaze nodded. “Can one be a Huntsman at that age?”

Blaze just shrugged his shoulders. “Apparently.” He went back to his food, but he could feel that Tyr was still looking at him. “Is there something else you want to ask me?” He ask him while taking a bit of his sandwich.

“How’s it like?”

This time it was Blaze turn to be confused. “How is what?”

“To have wings, to fly up in the sky. Is it great?”

Blaze wasn’t expecting that question. “It’s a little difficult to explain, the short version is that is the best experience in the world, for those who have wings.” He wasn’t sure that was the answer Tyr wanted, considering he nodded, I guess he like it.

After they were done eating, Tyr lead Blaze to the lockers. Blaze took out a note he had gotten by Glynda after he had taken a shower, it look like she didn’t want him there. Blaze didn’t really care what she thought about him.

“See you around Blaze, I have to find my locker and get my stuff.” Tyr walk of.

It didn’t take long before Blaze found his locker, number 84. He opened it and found a spear there with a note, he took the note and read it. “I hope this will suit you, Ozpin.” Blaze threw away the note and took the spear, it look like a normal spear expect for the blade on the tip, he swung it around a few time to get a feel of it and the blade didn’t hinder it movement.

He then thrusted it to his left to get a feeling of it. “Ah.” The blade almost hit Ruby in the face, it was inches from her face, and she was pale.

“You shouldn’t sneak up on others.” He said to her as he lower his weapon.

“Sorry, I just wanted to see if you got a weapon and you did.” She said in a happy tone. “Are you going to name it?”

Blaze raised an eye brown of what she said. “Name it? Why would I do that? Sounds stupide.” He told her while closing his locker.

Tyr walk over to his locker, opened it and took out his jacket, he took of his weapon and placed it by his locker. After opening it, he took out his jacket which was a light blue and put it on.

While closing the locker he heard someone talk. “I really hope that we will be on the same team.” He look in the direction of the voices and saw the three Faunus from last night, one had purple hair and was wearing a white dress?

The second one had blond hair with a hat with a bandana that was light red and had apples on it, she was wearing a white collared shirt with a leather vest, brown pants and a pair of cowboy boots. She had an axe on her back.

The last one a rainbow coloured hair? She was wearing a jacket and a pair of pants that was blue and the lines inside are yellow, she was wearing a pair of sneaker with matches her outfit. A couple of dagger was lying on the bench she was sitting on.

Tyr could swear he had seen them before. “I really don’t want to be on a team with a human that hate Faunus.” Said the one with purple hair.

“I know what you mean Rarity, I had running with one this morning, he just gave a look that said monster or something like that.” Said the one with the hat, she was leaning against one of the lockers.

“I’m surprised that you didn’t punch him.” Said the one with rainbow hair, she was currently sitting on a bench putting on her shoes.

“And get expelled on my first day, unlike you Dash I can control my anger.”

That made Dash get up. “Hey, I can control my anger when I want too.” Her friends just gave her a blank stare. “Oh, shut up.”

“Darling, we didn’t say anything.”

Tyr couldn’t help but laugh little of them, Dash saw that. “Is there something funny human?”

“Nope.” He told her while planning his weapon on his back.

“Hey, watch were you are going.”

Tyr and the girls with the rest of those who was in the room look to where the voice were coming from. They saw a girl with a red dress, she was on the floor picking up dust crystal from the floor. Over her stood a girl with black hair with strands of silver highlights, she was wearing a knit hooded vest that's colored dark velvet and she was wearing a short sleeved shirt underneath, she was also wearing a pair of cargo shorts.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t watching were I was going.”

“You weren’t watching? You could have blown us up with the dust you are caring, who the hell carries dust crystals in her purse?”

“I do.” The girl with the dress said while getting up.

“You fight with dust? Are you a Schnee or something?”

“Uh, no?” The girl with the dress said while taking a step backwards. “My mother bought them for me.”

The other girl snorted. “You mother bought them for you? You probably stole them two days ago in Vale.”

The girl with the dress eyes widen. “What? Is wasn’t in Vale when that happened.”

“And you expect me to believe that? you can be lying for all I…” That was all she could say as she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She look to her right, it was Blaze. “That’s enough. She wasn’t the one who robe the dust store in Vale two days ago, that was Roman Torchwick and I should know, I was there.”

The girl with hooded vest swapped away his hand. “You words don’t mean nothing to me Faunus and don’t you dear touch me again or I will…”

She was interrupted again but this time by the speakers, it was Glynda “Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff or initiation? Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately.”

“Huh, I guess you got lucky.” The girl with hooded vest started to walk towards the exit.

Blaze just watch her go. “What an attitude.” He look over the girl with the res dress. “You ok?” She nodded. “That’s good to now.” He then walk to the exit.

Once they made it to a cliff near the edge on the school boundary, he saw Ozpin and Glynda. Ozpin gave Blaze a smile while Glynda frowned when she saw him, he was guessing that she didn’t want him here, he neither but he didn’t have a choice. Ozpin told them to stand on some pad and then he explained what they were going to do.

Apparently they were going to get launched up in the air in to Emerlad forest, find a relic in an abandoned temple to the north of the forest and return to a cliff. There was more, the first one they made eye contact with would be their partner for the next 4 years. There was also Grimm in the forest, Blaze had never seen a Grimm before, but they were probably dangerous. Blaze couldn’t help but question the whole thing, it all sounded a little weird. How could finding a relic have anything to do with this?

Then Ozpin told them to take their position, Blaze look around and saw that most of the students got ready, so did he. He crouched down placed his right arm behind him which he was holding his weapon with, he saw to his left as a girl with a cowboy hat got launched into the air, then the pat under him explode and he flew through the air. Now he felt like home.

Ozpin told them to make a good landing strategy which Blaze thought was stupid, he just flew thought the air a little and landed on the ground while sliding on it a little. “Landing strategy? Yeah right, who needs that when you got wings?” He said when he landed, he was about to start walking when he heard explosion in air and then he saw Ruby’s sister fly through air. “I guess that’s one way to travel.” He mumble to himself as he walk.

He had been walking for five minutes when he heard some noises in the bushes, he got ready his weapon in case it was this Grimm Ozpin was talking about. It didn’t take long before he got his answer, out came two Grimm. “Boy, you two are ugly.” They just snarled at him Blaze pointed his weapon at them, then one of the charge at him. Blaze swung his spear and cut its head right of, apparently the other one didn’t like that, so it also charge him, Blaze just swung his weapon a second time and cut it head of. He then just watch as they disappeared into nothing. “Uh, I expected more.” He then heard a bang behind him, he turned around and saw another Grimm drop dead on the grass.

Blake was walking through the forest looking for another student, one thing was for sure she didn’t want to be on the same team as the girl with daggers, she didn’t seem like a nice person and it looked like she wasn’t too fond of Faunus, she didn’t need that. Blake then some growling and could see a Grimm but it wasn’t looking at her, the Grimm was looking at a male Faunus with red wings, ears and a tail. Most Faunus has one traits animal, maybe two but Blake had never seen three before. The Faunus was facing two other Grimm which he made short progress of, then the last one decided to jump him, Blake took out her Gambol Shroud and fired two shout from it saving the Faunus. After the Grimm was dead, she turned her weapon back into a sword and placed it on her back.

Blake then looked eyes with her, they just started at each other until he spoke. “I guess we are team mates.”

“It looks like it.” Blake then walk out from the bushes she then got a better look at him. He was wearing a black jacket and pants, red shirt, he had a spear resting on his shoulder and there was one last thing. “You look a little old to be attending at Beacon.”

He just shrugged his shoulders. “I get that a lot, the name is Blaze Furry. What’s yours?”

“Blake Belladoona.”

“Nice to meet you Blake, why don’t we find those ruins with those relic and get the hell out of this forest, it’s creeping me out.” He had been in a forest that is worse than this but Emerlad forest was close, Blake nodded in agreement and started to walk. “It’s nice to see a fellow Faunus.” Blaze told her as she walk past him.

Blake froze when she heard that. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” She answered in a shaky voice.

Blaze could hear that she was lying, apparently she didn’t want others to know. “I guess I was wrong and for that I am sorry.” He placed his spear on his shoulder and started to walk.

When he past Blake. “How did you know?” She ask him.

He stop and turned around to face her. “Last night, I saw you bow move which I am sure of is not possible unless you have ears.” Blake was surprised that he saw that, she thought she had hide but she was wrong. “Look, I don’t know why you are hiding that you are a Faunus just let me tell you something, keeping secrets never ends well.”

“It’s not like hiding who I am is just I have past that I don’t won’t others to know.” She told him while rubbing her arm.

Blaze let out a sighed. “Fine, don’t tell me but just remember what I said, keeping secrets never ends well.” He then started to walk leaving Blake alone, was hiding that she was Faunus a good idea? She shook her head and followed Blaze.

Another Faunus with pony ears and tail, she had blur hair and her name is Luna Moon and this was the first time she had left Menagerie, she was currently holding her sword the Moon breaker in front of her looking in every direction and she was nervous as hell. “What am I doing here? I should never have left Menagerie.” She then heard a sound in the bush and that made her squeak. “Hello? It there someone there?” She didn’t get any answer and he noise became louder, her whole body was shaking and eventually she let out a scream and then she charge towards where the sound came from.

Out from the bushes came a girl with a red dress and she had no clue what was happening in front of her, she heard a scream and saw a Faunus girl coming towards her with a sword over her head. The girl swung her sword and red dress user managed barely to get hit by jumping back a little.

The sword hit the ground in front of her. “Hey, what’s the big idea? Are you trying to kill me?” The girl asked Luna.

Luna started to panic. “I am so sorry, I thought you were a Grimm. Also, I was terrified.” Luna admit with a blush.

“Let me guess, this is your first time away from Menagerie.” The girl asked while dusting away the leaf that was stuck to her dress.

Luna was in shook. “How do you know that I am from Menagerie?” Luna ask her.

The girl look at her. “I saw you on the airship and your tail was swinging from side to side, you were probably existed being away from there and you just confirmed it.”

That made Luna blush even more, she the rubbed her neck. “Yeah, this is my first time away from Menagerie.” Luna held out a hand. “My name is Luna Moon, nice to meet you.” She said with a smile.

The girl gladly shook her hand. “My name is Opal Akaru.”

“Hello Opal and I am sorry for almost killing you.” Luna said with an innocent smile, she then place her sword on her back. Opal couldn’t help but chuckle. Then Luna saw her hair move. “Oh my, you’re a Fau…” That was all she could say, Opal had placed a hand over her mouth.

“Would you keep your voice down, I don’t want others to find out that I am a Faunus.” Opal removed her hand from Luna’s mouth.

That just confused Luna. “Why won’t you to know that you’re a Faunus? Unless…” Luna thought for a second. “You are a White fa..” Opal placed hand over mouth, again.

“Would you just shut up, I don’t want others to know I am a Faunus or a former White Fang.”

“We do.”

The new voice scared both of the girls, the voice were coming from behind Opal so the look in the that direction and saw male Faunus with a girl that had a bow on her head which Opal recognized right away.

“Blake?”

The male Faunus look at Blake. “You know here?”

Blake rubbed the back of her head. “Yes, but I haven’t seen her in a while.”

Luna looked between Opal and Blake. “Wait a minute Opal, are you telling me that you know Blake Belladoona?” How did Luna know who Blake is? Almost every Faunus know who she is.

Opal had a naturel face. “I should, we grew up together and out parents know each other. I haven’t seen her since she joined up with that psychopath Adam Taurus in Vale.”

Blake just look away when Opal mention Adam while Blaze had no idea what they were talking about, he had no idea who this Adam Taurus. “Look, as much as I like see old friends reunited I really want to find these relics and get out of this forest.” He then started to walk.

“Who are you by the way? You look a little too old to be here?” Opal ask him.

Blaze stop to look at her. “Really? You didn’t ask about my age on the airship.” Opal couldn’t help but feel stupid for that. “My name is Blaze Fury and I would like to play answer twenty question, but I don’t know any of you. We are going to spend the next four year together, when I know you all better then we can talk. Right now, I want finish this test and leave the forest.” With that said, he started to walk again. The girls look at each other not sure what to think about Blaze, eventually they followed him.

In another part of the forest was Weiss Schnee, she had used her glyphs to land, and she was hoping that it was good enough for Professor Ozpin. Weiss had a lot to live up to, she is the heir to Schnee Dust Company and when she told her father that she would attending at Beacon and not Atlas, he was not happy.

She was currently walking through the forest looking anyone that would be on her team. “I really hope I find someone soon, before the Grimm find me.” As soon as those words came out from her mouth, she ran into a couple of Beowolf, at least six of them. She really wished she had keep her mouth shut, she got ready her Myrtenaster and was ready to fight.

She took a deep breath. ‘Remember your training Weiss. Head up, shoulders back, right foot forwards, not that forward. Slow your breathing, wait for the right time to strike…’ Weiss did everything she had learned but before she could attack.

Out of some trees, a shadow jump out and strike the closet Grimm. It was girl, that could Weiss see, she was wearing a knit hooded vest that was currently cowering her head. She was also wearing cargo shorts she was holding daggers in each hands which she just to strike the Grimm, the girl then went for the next Grimm striking it down with ease. Weiss just stood there as the girl made short process of them all, when she was done, she was breathing heavily. “I really hate Grimm.” Said the girl, she then turned around and then she locked eyes with a very angry Schnee. “Great, I got the princess. That’s just great.” She said while putting away her daggers.

When Weiss saw who it was, the same girl had thrown the dagger at her last night and gotten into an argument with, she wasn’t angry anymore she was furious. Not only had she stollen her targets she had also stolen the opportunity to show Professor Ozpin how a true Schnee fight. Weiss decided to get away from this girl, she turned around and started to walk.

“And where are you going?” The girl ask Weiss.

“Away from you.”

The girl snorted. “So, you are going to ignore Professor Ozpin words? The one who you make eye contact with first are going to be your partner for the next four years.”

That made Weiss to stop dead in her track, the girl was right, the Professor told them that and she really didn’t want to get into trouble on her first day at the academy, she turned around and walk straight to the girl, she stopped a few inches from her face. “This does not make us friends.” Weiss then walk past her.

The girl couldn’t help but smile. “This should be fun. By the way princess, my name is Ebony Nox.” She told Weiss while walking after her.

“I don’t care what your name is, and my name is not princess it’s Weiss Schnee.” Weiss said with annoyance in her voice.

Rarity was currently flying through air hoping to find an appropriate branch, she spotted one and took out whip that was attached to her hip. She lashed out it and managed to get it wrap around the branch, when she hit the ground she slide on the ground coming to a stop, the whip somehow loosened of the branch as she landed. “Not a perfect landing but it will do.” She told herself while attaching her whip to her hip, she then took a look at her shoes and she was glad she decided to wear normal shoes and not high heels. “Well, let’s see if I can find Dash or Applejack.” She then started to walk. She didn’t mind coming a team with others, but she really wanted to be on a team with her friends.

After five minute of walking Rarity hadn’t seen anyone. “Just how large is this forest? I have been walking like forever.” Before she could complain more, two Beowolf jump out from some bushes. “You two aren’t the one I was looking for, but I guess some practice will do.” She took out her whip and got ready.

Both Beowolf growled at her and the one of jump towards her but Rarity was ready, she lashed her whip towards the Beowolf’s head, and she managed to kill it with ease. Then the other jump at her and she did the same with that, she managed to kill it with ease to. She was pretty please with herself. “That was way too easy.” As soon as those words left her mouth a third Beowolf jumped out from to her left. “Me and my mouth.” She closed her eyes waiting for the end, it never came.

Rarity then heard a long bang she opened her eyes and saw the Beowolf just disappeared. “The Grimm can attack in a flock, but they don’t know how to treat a lady.” Said a new voice.

Rarity looked when the shoot came from and she saw the same human that Dash has snap at, he had light brown har, he was wearing a grey shirt, black pants white light blue jacket. He was holding a swords in his hand that also looked like a gun, which he was pointing at her, he then rested it on his shoulder.

“You ok?” He ask Rarity.

She nodded. “Yes, thank you for saving me. How did you see that Beowolf.”

“I didn’t, I was walking trying to find someone then I heard growling and saw you fighting those two Beowolf, then I saw the third one jump out from the bushes, I took out my Lawgiver and killed it.”

“Yes, thank you for that, I would probably be dead if you haven’t passed by.”

Rarity then started to look around, like she was looking for someone ells. “Is there something wrong?” The boy ask her.

“No, I mean yes.” She let out a sighed. “No offence but I was hoping that you were one of my friends, or a Faunus not a human.”

Rarity had no idea how the boy would react he had a normal face not showing any emotions, he then smiled. “It’s ok, I understand that you want to be on a team with your friends.” Rarity didn’t expect that reaction, she thought that he would be furious at her, but this boy look happy. “But, Professor Ozpin said the first one you make eye contact with is going to be your team for the next four years. I guess you are stuck with me.” He walk over to her and offer a hand. “My name is Tyr Laraan.”

Rarity gladly shook his hand. “Rarity Bell.”

Tyr smiled. “Nice to meet you Rarity, why don’t we see if we can’t find your friends.” He told her while placing his weapon on his back. Again, Rarity didn’t expect that. Maybe begging on Tyr’s team wouldn’t be so bad, she just hope that AJ and Dash would agree with her. Maybe AJ would, she wasn’t sure about Dash.

Meanwhile on the cliff where the students had been launch off, where Ozpin and Glynda was standing looking at the students through their scrolls.

“Our last pair has been formed, sir.” Said Glynda while looking at her scroll. “Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy. I can’t possible imagine those two getting along.” She said to Ozpin while looking at the couple. “Still, he’s probably better off than Ms. Nikos.” She then look at a video of the boy who threw up at the ship and a girl with red hair. It didn’t seem like Ozpin was listing to her, at all. “I don’t care what his transcripts says, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat.” She then turned off her scroll. “I guess we’ll find out soon enough.” She then turned around and started to walk. “At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes.” She then stop and turned around. “Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year?” She ask Ozpin, he didn’t answer. “…Professor Ozpin?” He was just standing there, looking his scroll. Glynda walk over to him to see what he was looking at, it was Ruby and her sister, Yang which had found Ebony and Weiss. “I can’t still believe that you let a fifteen years girl into the school.”

“I think she has potential.” Glynda was a little surprised that he answered her.

“Maybe, then we have Blaze Fury. A twenty three years old Faunus that claims he is from another world, why did you let him into the school? He is too old.”

“I gave him the offer to become a huntsman Glynda, it was either that or jail.”

Glynda couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Sometimes I think you are too nice.”

While Glynda and Ozpin had their talk, four girls had a different talk. Weiss was currently walking back and forth suggesting different direction of where the temple could be, Ruby was sitting by a tree playing with some leaves, Yang was leaning against the tree with her shoulder watching Weiss going back and forth, Ebony was leaning against the tree while playing with her daggers.

Weiss eventually stop and faced the girls. “Alright, it’s official, we have past it.”

Ebony couldn’t help but smirk. “Just admit it princess, you don’t know where you are.”

Weiss walk right up to her. “Stop calling me that and what about you? Do you know where the temple is?” She ask Ebony.

Ebony straighten up and put away her dagger. “I’m from Vacuo, we know how to find out way through areas we know nothing about. When we got launched into the air I managed to see where the temple was, and I was able to find a route to it.”

The two sister was impressed when they heard that, Weiss wasn’t. “Wow, you managed to do that while in the air. That’s so cool.” Ruby said while getting up with stars in her eyes.

Weiss just snorted. “You expect me to believe that.”

“Believe what you want princess.” Weiss had enough of that she was referring her as princess. “You can stay here and wander around, alone. Or you can follow me so we can find the relic and leave this forest, it’s too much green for my taste.” Before Weiss could say anything, Ebony started to walk.

Ruby and Yang look at each other, then they followed Ebony. “You two can’t be serious, you don’t know if she is leading you the right way.” They didn’t listen to her. “Wait up.” Weiss ran after them.

Yang had walk up to Ebony. “So, how it’s to live in Vacuo?” She was trying a small talk.

“We live in the dessert and we live by a philosophy, If you can survive our harsh conditions you are welcome to live there.”

Ruby, who was on Ebony other side, tilted her head to the side. “Really? Those that include all?”

Ebony shrugged her shoulders. “Pretty much. It’s a place you don’t want to go on holiday, that’s for sure.”

“I am surprised that you survived there.” Weiss said with her arms crossed, she was walking behind them.

Ebony stop to face Weiss. “What the hell do you know? You are from Atlas you live in the sky in were the rich live, I grew up in street in Vacuo and every day was a struggle to survival, but you don’t know nothing about that because you are a Schnee, you had every ting served on a silver platen. Not everyone who lived the way I did survived because I was one of the lucky once.” That made Weiss look down on the ground. “Here’s an idea princess, don’t talk about a place you know nothing about.” Ebony started to walk again. ‘I can’t believe that I have to be on her team for four years.’ She thought for herself.

In another part of the forest, Rarity and Tyr had managed to find Rarity’s friends, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. They had managed to find each other so they had end up on the same team, but they weren’t too happy that Rarity was on a team with a human, mostly Dash.

Rarity was walking with Dash, trying to explain that Tyr was a nice human. Applejack was walking behind them with Tyr, she was trying to figure out if he was nice human.

Tyr watch as Rarity and Dash argued. “Man, she dosen’t like human.” He said.

“Can you blame her considering how you humans has treated us? We grew up that human was the superior and the Faunus was thrash.” Applejack answered him. Applejack was right, Tyr had read stories how human treated Faunus as slaves. “It wasn’t easy to find a place who would train us, I am just glad Signal did.”

Tyr then snap his fingers. “I knew I had seen you and your friends somewhere I saw you three at Signal but you keep mostly too yourself.”

“Wait, you trained at Signal too?”

“That I did and…”

That was all Tyr could say when Rainbow walk to them. “What are you talking about human?” She walk straight to his face.

Tyr couldn’t help but blink. “Nothing much, just that you don’t like humans and before you interrupted us, Signal.”

Dash snorted. “Yeah right, you act like a nice human but when the opportunity comes you will find a way to hurt us, just like all humans do.”

Applejack and Rarity was in shock over what their friend just said but Tyr, he was completely calm. “Just what is your problem with me? Have I done something to offended you?” He asked her.

“No, but your race have.” Dash told him in an angry voice.

“So that’s it? You are going to blame me for everything the humans have done to the Faunus? You know, you Faunus aren’t perfect either.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Dash was now right in his face, ready to punch him.

“The White Fang.” That made Dash’s eyes to widen, she couldn’t believe he brought them up. Rarity wasn’t sure what would happened while Applejack was ready to intervene in case Dash lost it. “The White Fang has done some nasty things over the years they might not compare what the humans has done to the Faunus. Now, I don’t blame every Faunus for what the White Fang has done, I tried to see the best in every one and right now you are doing a crappy job, your friends are way nicer than you.” Dash ears folded in shame she was never a big fan of the White Fang, so she understood him a little. “And don’t you dare blame me for everything the humans has done to you and your kind, I actually don’t judge others by their look only what’s in their hearts.” Dash tried to say something, but nothing came out. Tyr just patted her on her shoulder and walk past her.

Applejack and Rarity just look at Dash in disappointment. “I thought you were better than this Dash, I guess I was wrong.” Rarity told her friend, she then followed Tyr.

Applejack walk over to Dash and placed a hand on her shoulder. “You ok?”

Dash shook her head. “No, I feel like crap. I was way out of line.”

“Yes, you were but it’s never too late to apologize.” Applejack told her, but Dash wasn’t so sure.

Blaze and the girls had finally arrived at the temple and when Blaze saw the relic, he couldn’t help but question them. “Chess pieces? What the hell are we? Pawns for Ozpin?” He just shook his head as he walk over to one of them, it was a white knight. “There, I got one, let’s get to the cliff.” He said while looking at Blake. “You don’t mind the horse, do you?” He ask her.

“No, I don’t mind.” She said while walking over him.

Meanwhile with Opal and Luna. “Why don’t you pick one Luna.”

“Really?” Opal nodded. Luna couldn’t help but smile, she walk over to the other white knight. Opal just gave her an amusing smile when she saw that. “What? It looks like a pony.” Opal couldn’t help but giggle.

“Great, we all have a ‘relic’, let’s get to the cliff and leave. This place gives me the creeps.” They all nodded in agreement as they walk towards the nears cliff.

They had been walking for a few minutes when they heard growling in front of them. “What now?” Blaze asked with annoyance in his voice, then a giant Grimm appeared in front of them and this was twice as big as the other they had faced.

“It’s a Ursa and it’s a little bigger than I remember.” Said Blake. It wasn’t like the ones Blaze had fought before and he had already figured out that it would be different kinds of Grimm. Although, this was bigger than he had imagen. “What do we do?”

Before anyone of them could react, Opal leap into action. She got ready her Yoyo, jump into the air and send it flying towards the Ursa, on impact electricity surrounded the Grimm, it howled in pain.

“What just happened?” Blaze ask Blake.

“It’s her Yoyo, it must content dust.” Blake told him.

Blaze had no idea what she was talking about it, he guessed it was a good thing. He then got an idea. “Blake, I need you three to distract it, I’ll take care of it.” Blake nodded and too out her weapon that look like a sword then it turned into another weapon, she started to run around it while firing at the Ursa. Blaze was about to fly when he saw only Blake and Opal was the only one who was fighting, he look at Luna and she was shaking with fear. “Luna, was wrong?”

Luna was babbling. “I don’t belong here I should never had left Menagerie.”

Blaze walk over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. “Luna, look at me.” She did and he could see that she was afraid. “It’s ok to be afraid once in a while, I’m afraid right now.”

Luna blinked a few times. “Really? You don’t look like you are afraid.”

“That’s why my father once told me that you should never let your fear control you, you control your own fear. What am I afraid of? Well, just look at that thing.” They both look over to where Blaze and Opal was fighting the Grimm. “That’s the biggest monster I have ever seen in my life and it’s terrifies me. Also, I know how it’s feel’s to leave your home.” He look back at her. “But right now, I need you and the others to distract so I can kill it.” Before she could say anything, Blaze took off to the sky.

Luna look over to the battle, she took a deep breath. “Don’t let the fear control you, you are in control of your on fear.” She grabbed her sword, closed her eyes and took one more breath. She opened her eyes. “I won’t let fear control me.” She then ran towards the Ursa and sliced one of his front legs, it howled on pain. “How did you like that ugly?” The Ursa tried to crush her with its paws but Luna’s training kick in and she jump back to avoid it.

“I hope Blaze will kill it soon, I don’t know how long we can keep doing this.” Blaze said while firing more shoot.

Then they all look up and saw Blaze coming toward the Ursa very fast, they all got clear as he trusted his spear into the head of the Ursa, the Grimm then disappeared.

“I really hope we won’t get more distractions.” Said Blaze as he pulled out his spear out of the ground, he had trusted the spear so hard that it went into the ground. He look over to the girls who eyes were widen. “What?” He ask them.

“That was awesome.” Luna half scream as she ran over to him. “I wish I had wings.” Blaze and Opal followed.

Blaze rest his weapon on his shoulder. “It’s has its advantages, why don’t we get out this forest. I had enough of Grimm for one day.” The girls agreed on that.

After they had returned, Ozpin had them all gather in the hall where it all started, and they were all gather in teams of four. When Ozpin said their names, they were to approach the stage and get their names. Blaze was resting on a wall with the rest of the girls watching the whole thing.

On the stage at the moment was four humans and Blaze recognized one of them, the bully from the airship.

“Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Brozewing, Sky lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as…” Then the letters CRDL appeared on a screen where their pictures was. “Team Cardinal, lead by Cardin Winchester.”

Every student clapped from them except for four faunus, then Luna spoke up. “Is it wrong that I was hoping that Russel would be eaten by a Grimm?” Blake and Opal look at her in shock while Blaze thought it was funny, a little funny.

Then they walk of the stage and four new humans walk on it, Blaze recognized one of the as the boy who was throwing up on the airplane, there was a girl with red hair, one with orange hair and a boy with black hair.

“Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as…” The letters JNPR appeared. “Team Juniper, lead by Jaune Arc.” That surprised Jaune and the girl Pyrrha hit him so hard that she managed to knock him on the floor.

Then Tyr and three Faunus Blaze saw argue at his first night take the stage, team JNPR walk of the stage. “Tyr Laraan, Rarity Bell, Rainbow Dash, Applejack. The four of you retrieved the white bishops. From this day forward, you will work together as…” The letters TRRA appeared on the screen. “Team Tornado, lead by Tyr Laraan.” Blaze couldn’t help but join the rest of the students as they clapped for Tyr and his team.

Then it was Ruby, her sister, Weiss and the girl who was causing trouble with Opal. “Ebony Nox, Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, Weiss Schnee. The four of you retrieved the black rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as…” The letter EYWR appeared on the screen. “Team Excalibur, lead by Ebony Nox.” Blaze could see that Weiss was in shock when she heard that, Ruby and her sister was happy for Ebony who just smiling.

Then it was Blaze and the girls turn. “Blaze Fury, Blake Belladonna, Luna Moon, Opal Akaru. The four of you retrieved the white knight. From this day forward, you will work together as…” The letter BBLO appeared on the screen. “Team Blackout, lead by Blaze Fury.” Blaze thought that the entire room would be silence, he was wrong. They all cheered for them.

As they walk of the stage, Blaze couldn’t help but wonder what would happened next.

Author's Note

There you have it, the teams.

I would like to apologize for the fight scenes, I'm not very good with those.

Tyr Laraan, Opal Akaru and Ebony Nox belongs to FrostTheWolf.

First Night

After they in teams, the students were lead to their dorms where they would sleep and live together for the next four years. Blaze lead the girls through the hallway until they found the door with their name on it, BBLO. When they found it, he opened the door and walk in with the girls right behind him. They were threat to a room with four beds, a table with a chair that was in the middle of the room and another door that probably lead to the bathroom.

Luna ran straight to the bed closet to the bathroom. “Dips on the bed closet to the bathroom.” Before anyone of the could react, she ran to the bed and jump on it.

Opal walk in and walked over to the bed next to Luna’s. “Fine by me.” She then notice a suit case on the bed closet to the wall and a note on it. “Hey Blaze, I think that’s for you.” She told him while pointing at the suit case

Now Blaze was curious, he walk over to the bed and saw that Opal was telling the truth his name was on the note. He took the note and opened it. “To Blaze, I hope that these clothes suits you, Ozpin.” He placed his spear on the wall and opened the suit case, he saw a bunch of new clothes for him to wear.

“Wow, Professor Ozpin gave you new clothes. That’s cool.” Luna said from her bed.

“Not really, I came here with the clothes I already have on me, he’s just helping me out a bit.” He removed some of jackets, then something fell out and landed on the ground. “What’s this?” He picked it up and saw that it a plastic card with the letter L on it.

“That’s Lien, it’s our currency her in Remnant.” Blake told him while walking to the last bed which was between Blaze and Opal.

“Oh, come on, you get clothes and money. What did you do to get on the professor good side?”

Blaze look over to Luna. “As I said, I came her with the clothes I already on me, I didn’t ask for this.” Luna just rolled her eyes.

The Opal spoke. “Now we know who Professor Ozpin favourite student is.” Blaze just ignored her.

Blaze then found something that made him raise an eye brown. “What the hell is this.” He said while holding up a black suit lined with gold, accompanied by a blue vest and a white shirt with a red tie.

“That’s our school uniform, we have to wear it in class.” Blake told him as placed her suit case on her bed

He then notice that there were no hole in the uniform. ‘Great, I am probably going to get cramp.’ He thought for himself. He then put it away for now, then he found something white. “What’s this?” He ask Blake while showing her the device.

“That’s a scroll, we use to communicate with each other.” She told him while unpacking her stuff.

Blaze just look at in wonder, he could only guess it was like sending letters but only more advance.

“Seriously, just where are from? You must be pretty dumb if you don’t know what a scroll is.” Said Luna.

Opal gave her a stern look. “Luna, that’s not very nice to say about our team leader.”

“Oh, come on. Why are you defending him? We know nothing about him truth be told, I really don’t know much about any of you, I only know a little about Blake considering who her parents is and something tells me you know Blake and vice versa.” Luna told Opal.

Blaze stop looking through the suit case and sat down on his bed. “Alright, you want to know more about me, then fine. But, I have one condition, that you three have to talk about yourself first. No lies.” Those last words was direct at Opal and Blake which exchange a wary look.

Then Blake nodded. “We will do it but there are things we don’t want to talk about, and we hope that you will respect that.”

Blaze nodded. “That’s fair, just take of the bow, it just look stupid on you.” Somehow Blake just blushed, she didn’t know why. She decided to take of her bow, showing her cat ears. “That’s better.” He then look over to Opal to do the same thing.

Opal just rolled her eyes. “Fine.” She removed the hair bun covers on her head showing the panda ears on her head. “Happy?” She ask with some annoyance.

Blaze smiled. “Yes, I am. Why don’t you start Luna.”

Luna was surprised, she didn’t expect to start. “Well, you already know my name. I am from Menagerie and I am seventeen years old. My parents are Gaia and Solaris…”

That was all she could say when Opal cut her off. “Hold on moment, you parents are Gaia and Solaris? As in team GCSS (Gracilis)?” Opal ask her.

Luna couldn’t help but groan. “Great, you've heard of them.” She said while laying down her ned.

“Who hasn’t.”

Blaze hadn’t, he had never heard about team GCSS, how could he. “I guess this team are famous.”

“They are famous among Faunus they were he first team to be all Faunus, not only did the fight the Grimm but they also fought so the Faunus would be threated equality, and this was before the White Fang. But they disbanded twenty three years ago.”

Luna didn’t move. “Yeah, my parents gave it all up when my mom where pregnant with my sister.”

Blaze look at Blake. “Do you know about this team?”

Blake nodded. “I have heard about them, but I have never meet them. I’m not even sure if my parents know them.” She answered.

Blaze had to some reading later. “Is it more you want to tell us Luna?” He ask her.

“Yes.” She sat up. “My semblance.” She look out the window and saw it was dark enough. “Can one of you turn off the lights.”

That just confused them all. “Why?” Asked Opal.

“My semblance work better when it’s dark.” Blaze was curious what this ‘semblance’ was, so he got up and turned off the light, the room went dark. “Thanks.” They wait and then they saw a light show from Luna’s bed, it was coming from her hands. “I can create light with my hands, but it works best at night.” When it was over, Blaze turned on the light.

Blaze had to admit it, it was pretty impressive. He had never seen it before, and he would love to see what ells this semblance can do.

Luna them look over to Opal. “Your turn.”

Opal took deep breath. “My name is Opal Akaru and like Luna I was born on Menagerie. My parents names are, Ivory Akaru and Terra Cotta my mother is Faunus while my dad is a human…”

Blaze cut her off. “Hold on, is that possible? It thought you could only have a Faunus child if both parents are Faunus.”

“No, both parents don’t have to be Faunus.” Opal explained.

“Huh, you learn something new every day.” Blaze said while sitting down on the bed again.

The girls had no idea what to think about their leader, they would get their answer soon. Opal continued. “Anyway, I joined the White Fang when I was young because I wanted the Faunus to be threat equally but I left one year ago.” She hung her head and her ears drop when she said that last part. They wanted to ask why but decided to let her tell them when she was ready.

“What’s your semblance?” Blaze ask her.

That lighten her mood a little as she stretched out her arm and pointed at Blaze weapon, which was leaning against the wall. Then the weapon started to ‘walk’ on the floor.

It scared Blaze. “What the hell?” He said while getting up on shock, it made the girls giggle.

“I can control thing with my fingers.” Blaze took his spear and it stop walking Opal then look at her hand. “But I can’t control living things.”

“That fine and all just don’t do that again, with my spear.” Blaze told her while placing the spear back on the wall.

Then it was Blake’s turn. “My name is Blake Belladonna and like Luna and Opal, I was born on Menagerie. I also joined the White Fang for the same reason as Opal.”

“Yeah and you became Adam Taurus personal favourite.” Opal said with some anger in her voice, Blake just look down with shame. “I can’t believe you followed him considering he kills humans.”

Blake look at Opal. “I know alright, that’s part of reason I left the White Fang.”

“Who is this Adam Taurus?” Blaze ask them.

“Adam says that he is the solution the human trouble, or that he’s the saviour to the Faunus, he wants to get respect by brute force but that’s not the way, I used to see that way but not anymore.” Opal told them while crossing her arms.

Then the awkward silence entered the room, until Blaze spoke. “Why don’t you show us your semblance, Blaze.”

Nodded. “Right.” She stood up in the bed and then she jump on to the floor leaving a shadow of herself in her bed. “I can create a shadow double of myself.”

Blaze got up and walk over to the shadow and tried to touch it, it disappeared when he did. He couldn’t help but be amazed by all of it. Sure, he had magic where he came from, but this was something ells. Here’s the question, did he have a semblance? He was fast but he was pretty sure that was not it, maybe he would discovered his in the future.

“There, we have told us a little about ourselves, now it’s your turn.” Opal told him.

“You already know my name, I’m twenty three. I was born in place called Cloudsdale…”

“I have heard about that place.” Said Blake and Blaze look over to her with widen eyes, he didn’t expect that. “It’s a town up far in the north, I heard that they lived very isolated and they don’t leave very often. I also heard that they don’t have any technology.”

“I guess that’s why he is so clueless about things he got from Professor Ozpin.” Luna said with a smirk on her face.

“Luna, that’s not very nice.” Opal scolded her.

“It’s alright Opal, I don’t mind.” He told her with a smile. “Anyway, when it comes to my parents, there’s no point in mention them because they died when I was ten and my sister died a year later.” That got all the girls to look at him with sadness in their eyes. “Don’t look at me like that, I don’t need your sympathy, or do I want it.” He told them. “I am going to take quick shower.” Before they could say anything, Blaze had disappeared in the bathroom.

Meanwhile in team TRRA room.

Tyr was currently sitting on bed, which was closest to the wall cleaning his out his weapon, especially the gun part. There’s was no way he was going to let get dirty. Rarity was sitting on the bed next to him reading a magazine, she really wanted the bed that was closest to the bathroom, but Dash had managed to snag that bed before her. Dash was lying on her back playing a game on her scroll, while Applejack decide to take shower since she missed before the initiation.

Rarity couldn’t help but look up from her magazine and look at Tyr, he had taken of his jacket and sweater, he was currently only wearing his t-shirt on his upper body, which was sleeveless she could see his arm and he had muscles, she couldn’t help but blush a little.

She watch as he spun the ammo chamber around, he then pointed at the wall and pulled the trigger. “That’s should do it.” He said while leaning the weapon against the wall.

“You must really like that weapon.” Said Dash from her bed.

“It’s my pride and joy.” Tyr answered with a smile which made Dash shock her head.

One might wonder why Tyr and Dash aren’t fight like they did in the forest. After they was become a team and had to spend four years together, Applejack and Rarity had a little talk with their friend. They told Dash that she should apologize to Tyr for the way she behaved earlier, apologize to others wasn’t Dash’s style but she eventually did, even it was awkward. Tyr took the apologize with a smile.

Rarity took look at her own weapon, which was hanging on bed, maybe she should take a look and see if it’s still working. She grabbed it and opened the bottom of the handle to see if there was dust or anything ells that could ruined it, it look clean. Rarity then took her bag which was one the floor beside the bed, she took out a vial of ice dust, she then insert the vial into the handle.

“What are you doing?” Tyr ask with curiosity.

Rarity just gave him a sly smile. “You’ll see.” She closed the lid and pressed a small button on the hand and the entire whip was covered in ice. “Well, it still work.” She look at Tyr, who had a shocked expression on his face, which made Rarity giggle. She turned it off and took out the vial.

“How did you do that?” Tyr asked her.

“Well, technically I didn’t do anything. My father made this whip for me before I left for Signal, if insert a vial of dust into the handle the entire whip gets infuse with dust. But I don’t use very much, considering how much dust cost.” Tyr just nodded.

Then Applejack came out from the bathroom. “Now that was nice warm shower, considering Rarity took a shower before me.” She said while walking toward her bed, Dash just snicker when she heard that.

Rarity look at her two friends with narrow eyes. “What’s wrong with taking a shower?” She ask Applejack.

“Nothing.” Applejack sat down on her bed. “But your showers usually takes ten to fifty minutes.”

Rarity placed a hand on her chest. “A lady always takes a proper shower.” She told her friends with her head high.

“Does a lady always use all the hot water?” Rarity just crossed her arms of what Applejack said. “What were you talking about while took a shower?” She ask her team as she sat down on the bed.

“Nothing much, Rarity was talking about her weapon.” Tyr answered her.

Applejack nodded. “It’s special, that’s for sure.”

Then Rainbow had to speak. “It’s call the whip master.” She laugh of her own joke.

Rarity’s cheek became red, Applejack look at Rainbow with a blank look and Tyr just tiled his head to the side.

“Really?” Said Tyr.

Rarity became even more red. “No, it’s not called that. I call my whip Belle, that’s the last name of my family. My name is better than Rainbow’s weapon.”

Rainbow stop playing the game and sat up. “Hey, there’s nothing wrong with Thunder Striker. One of my daggers is Thunder and the other one is Striker, Thunder Striker.”

Tyr didn’t think was that bad. “What about your weapon Applejack? What’s it call?” He ask her.

Applejack look at her axe which was leaning against the wall close to her bed. “I call her Cabrakan.” She said with a smile on her face. She then look at her leader. “What about yours Tyr?” She ask him.

“I call mine the Lawgiver.”

Both Applejack and Rarity like it but Dash, she just shrugged her shoulders. “Eh, I have heard better names and that.” She then laid back down and keep playing the game on her scroll.

While team BBLO and TRRA had normal conversations, one couldn’t say that about team EYWR. Right after they had chosen beds, Weiss had started to complain about Ruby and that she was too young to be in Beacon, that she was Ozpin personal favourite. Ruby tried to tell her that she was not, but Weiss didn’t want to listen.

“I keep telling you Weiss, I am not Professor Ozpin personal favourite.”

“Then how do explain that you managed to get into Beacon two years earlier?”

While they were arguing, Ebony and Yang was sitting on the beds watching the whole thing. Ebony thought it was funny while Yang was concerned they would end up fighting.

“Why aren’t you stopping this?” Yang asked Ebony.

Ebony look at the blond with a raised eyebrow. “Why do I have do it? It’s your sister that Weiss is arguing with.”

“Your team leader, is your job to make sure that they get along.”

Ebony wasn’t sure if that was true or not, but one thing was for sure, they were arguing over a stupid thing. She let out a frustrated. “Fine.” She took one of her daggers and threw it between Ruby and Weiss.

Both girl jump back when the dagger landed between them, Weiss was not happy. “What’s wrong with? Why do you keep throwing dagger at me?” She ask in an angry voice.

Ebony got up and walk over to them. “I’m not throwing at you princess, I did it so you two would stop arguing.” She said while picking the dagger up from the floor. “Your arguing was getting on my nerves do you have to argue with everyone you meet?” She ask Weiss.

“I don’t have to argue with everyone I meet.” Weiss answer with some anger in her voice.

Ebony raised an eyebrow. “Oh no?” She pointed at Ruby. “When you first meet Ruby, you shouted at her because she knock over your suitcase that contained dust.” Weiss wanted to say something, but Ebony didn’t let her. “I know that dust is dangerous in that form, but it was clearly an accident that was cause by Yang.” All girls look over to the blond who tried to look as innocent as she could be, it didn’t work. “Then in the main hall you keep yelling at her even she said she was sorry.” Weiss was a little surprise that Ebony knew that. “Yes, I saw that. Then you yell at Blaze. For what? I don’t know, I didn’t hear what. Then you were angry at me, for what? Steeling your moment?” She said that last with a snort.

Weiss placed both hands on her hips. “How did you know that?”

That took Ebony off guard. “I was right?” She then scratched her head. “That last part was just a wild guess. Look, what I am trying to say here is, do you have to argue with everyone that do things you don’t like or is this just Schnee part of you? You are right and everyone else is wrong?”

Weiss hated to admit it, but Ebony was right. She have argued and yelled at people and Faunus for no reason. It look like it was an accident when Ruby feel on her suitcase, she yelled at Blaze just because he wanted to help Ruby. And maybe she reacted wrong when Ebony took out those Grimm before her.

“I think I’m going to get ready for bed.” Before anyone of them could say anything, Weiss had taken her stuff and head into the bathroom.

Then silence entered the room until Ebony spoke “Well, that went well.” She walk back to her bed which was between Ruby and Yang, she laid down on it.

Yang, who had the bed closet to the wall, just watch whole thing didn’t know what to say. Ruby sat down on her bed.

“Thanks Ebony, for helping me.”

Ebony just waved her hand. “Don’t mention.”

“Do you have something against Weiss and her family?” Yang asked her leader.

“Not exactly, I just don’t like that people that live in Atlas. Always looking down on other who has nothing.”

“That’s a little harsh.” Said Ruby.

“A little harsh?” Ebony sat up. “Have one of you been to Mantle before?” She asked the sisters both shook their heads. “I have, in my third year in Oscuro I decided to take a trip to Mantle to see what it was like and let me tell you, it was not pretty. Humans and Faunus barely get by of what they make, they also get attack by Grimm almost every day and what does the people in Atlas? Nothing. I saw one team defend Mantle and those so called Ace Operative did nothing.” She laid down on bed again with her hands behind her head. “The pride of Atlas, yeah right.”

“That can’t be the only reason you hate Atlas.” Said Yang.

She sat up, again. “Look, Vacuo and Atlas has never gotten along and there are many reason, but the reason main reason is the Atlas is so high tech and Vacuo is not. I think there’s some other reason, but I don’t know what.” She then started to rub her forehead. “Can we please talk about this another day, I’m tired and want to sleep.” She then let out a yawn.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea.” Said Yang.

“Thank you.” Ebony then jump out of the bed and started to strip by taking of her vest, then she started to take of her shorts. Then she notice both sisters looking at her. “What?”

“What are you doing?” Ruby asked her.

“I’m getting ready for bed, is there something wrong with that?” She ask them,

“One usually change their clothes in the bathroom, not in front of other.” Ruby told her.

“Aren’t we all girls?” Ebony had a point. “And besides, I prefer to sleep naked.” Before either sister could say anything, Ebony took of her bra showing her breast.

Then Weiss came out from the bathroom in her pyjamas. “I’m ready for…” The words died when she saw Ebony just standing there in her panties, her cheeks became red. “What are you doing?” She ask in a high pitch voice.

Ebony just rolled her eyes. “What’s wrong with me sleeping naked? I’m not ashamed of my body. Hell, I would probably run naked through Beacon if they let me.” All three look at her as she was crazy.” Oh, grow up.” Ebony took of her panties and went to bed.

Second Day

It was the second day at Beacon, and it was time to test how well the students was to fight. The best part with this was that students could wear normal clothes, not the school uniform. Blaze was looking forward to his but that all disappeared when he saw who the teacher was. They were all gather in a room where the centre was shaped like a fighting arene and the students was sitting on benches like in Professor Peter Port class.

“Good day and welcome to battle training, my name is professor Glynda Goodwitch and I’m your instructor. Now, I’m sure that you all are eager to show off how well you all fight, since this is the first class I will pick the combatants.” That got student to talk among themselves. “The first match is between Pyrrha Nikos,” Pyrrha was a little surprised as she got up from her seat.

Blaze, who was sitting with his team up high and back of the room, he heard other student call her the pride of Mistral. He wonder why.

“and Blaze Fury.” Blaze wasn’t surprised at all when he heard his name.

He got up, grabbed his weapon and walk down the stairs, the students started to whisper.

There was only one thing that caught his ears. “There’s no way he is going to beat Pyrrha, she have never lost a fight, she’s called the invincible girl.” As Blaze enter the arena, he couldn’t help but wonder if she was really that good.

“It’s an honour to meet you.” Said Pyrrha as she took a bow.

“Yeah.” Blaze didn’t sound to enthusiastic it wasn’t because he got to fight it was because he didn’t have a choice.

Glynda took out her scroll. “Both of you, get ready.” Pyrrha grabbed her sword and shield from her back, she then got into a fighting stand. Blaze placed his spear on his right shoulder, he then bent his knees a little and stretched his left arm a little.

“Being.”

Both combatants didn’t move a muscle as the stood in the arena. Something which confused the rest of the students that were watching. Many of them thought that both of them would attack each other right away. Then, Blaze did something that took Pyrrha off guard. He motion his hand for her to attack. Something that also surprised many that were watching.

Was he so confident in his own skill… or was he testing Pyrrha somehow?

Whatever it was, she wasn’t going to disappoint him. Immediately, Pyrrha dashed towards him with incredible speed as she swung the spear she called Miló, towards Blaze. Her opponent was quick to act as he managed to dodge the attack easily.

However, he did not have the chance to counterattack just yet as Pyrrha continued her furry of attacks. Each one coming faster and faster with each swing. Yet, much to the surprise of everyone watching. Blaze just kept in dodging each one of her attack like it was nothing. Effortlessly avoiding each strike that Pyrrha tried to land on him.

Fighting like this wasn’t going to work so he leaped back and switch Miló from spear to rifle as she fired off two shots. However, Pyrrha’s attacks hit nothing but air as she realized that her opponent was gone. Everyone in the room that was watching was thrown off guard by what just happened. Her opponent was there one moment but disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even Pyrrha was thrown off by what just happened as she looked around the room. Despite seeing him only mere seconds ago, her opponent was nowhere to be seen.

“My turn.”

The moment she heard that, Pyrrha quickly turned around and barely managed to block Blaze’s attack with her shield on the left side of her body. Yet, it didn’t stop there. He kept swinging his spear from side to side and attacking from different angles while Pyrrha tried to black them. However, doing so wasn’t easy. Given how fast and strong her opponent was, the speed of his attacks and the amount of stamina she already used, Pyrrha would end up getting tired before she have the chance to counter.

Yet, despite her circumstances, Pyrrha had to something to turn the tide. Yet, before she could do anything, she was thrown off guard again as she was struck in the face by Blaze’s foot. He had managed to find an opening to catch Pyrrha off guard by executing an unexpected roundhouse kick when he stopped his spears attacks for a moment.

As she got back up, Pyrrha tried to regain her composure and ready herself. Yet, before she could go forward with a plan of attack, Pyrrha was forced to defend herself from another barrage off attacks from her opponent. Even with her trying to switch tactics and use her semblance to improve her defence, she was unprepared for how fast her opponent was and before she knew it, her aura was in the red.

As Blaze walked towards her, that was when the two of them heard Glynda speak up. “That’s enough, the winner of this match is Blaze Fury. An impressive bout miss Nikos, you can go back to your seat.” Pyrrha bowed and walk out of the arena, Blaze was about to leave but didn’t get far. “Not you Mr. Fury.” That took him of guard. “Yang Xiao Long, you’re up next.” Yang was not prepare to hear that she didn’t want to fight Blaze after what he did to Pyrrha, Yang wanted to say something but Glynda gave her an ice cold look that told her to shut up, she nervously got up.

While Yang was walking down to the arena, Pyrrha sat back down with her team mates. “You ok Pyrrha?” Jaune asked her.

Pyrrha just smiled at him. “Yes Jaune, I’m fine.” She said with a forced smile. She wasn’t, Pyrrha had lost her first match ever and she don’t know how to feel.

Once she came out to the arena she could see that Blaze felt bad for her. “Sorry about this blondie.” He told her as he got in fighting position.

Yang cocked her Ember Celica. “Yeah, me too.” She also got in fighting position.

“Being."

Yang went first and she tried to fire of some shots from her Ember Celica, which Blaze quickly deflected with his spear. Yet, before Blaze had the chance to do anything else, his opponent threw her arm back to get some momentum to push herself forward. Closing the gap between them as she started to attack the Faunus with a flurry of punches.

Yet, much to Yang's surprise, Blaze just dodged them. She tried to hit him a left jab, a right jab, a right hook and a left uppercut to finish the combo. However, Blaze was somehow able to dodge them all.

Trying to approach the fight from a different angle, she used her legs and attacked her foe with a low sweeping kick. This was in an attempt to make him lose his balance so she could follow up with another strike while he was still trying to get up. However, her plan was foiled when Blaze fell into a backward somersault and got back up on his feet.

Once he landed, the Faunus proceeded to go on the offensive as he lunged his spear towards Yang’s head. It was an attack that she managed to dodge, but just barely as he continued to swing his spear. His attacks were happening so quickly that Yang had trouble protecting herself. It wasn't because of her semblance, since it allowed for her to take damage and redirect it back at who she was facing. Yet, the problem that she faced was that any potential opportunity that she had in order to counter or attack her opponent was quickly being denied by Blaze's assault of consecutive strikes. He was not giving her an opportunity to turn this fight around.

Yang had the same problem as Pyrrha, she didn’t know what to do. But that didn't stop her from trying to fight back. Yet, when she tried to get herself some distance to attack from range, the Faunus she was facing quickly closed the gap as Yang was kicked in the face and knocked down to the floor.

She just her hands to flip up again and went on the offensive again, trying to punch laze again but as before he managed to doge each of them. Then she got the other end of the spear in her stomach and that made her staggered backwards, when she managed to get her breath she said something she thought she would never say. “I forfeit.” That surprised everyone, even Glynda taken off guard. “I can’t win, he’s too god.”

Glynda wasn’t happy when she heard that “Very well, go back to your seat miss Long, stay where you are Mr. Furry.”

Blaze threw his hands up in frustration. “Oh, come on, give me a break.”

Glynda just ignored him and was about to call out a new name when a new voice spoke up. “That’s enough Glynda,” It was Ozpin, he stood in the back leaning on his staff. “let someone ells fight and let Blaze rest.”

Glynda wanted to protest but Ozpin gave her a look that said don’t, she frowned. “Fine, take a seat Mr. Furry.” Blaze wanted to give her the finger but decided not to, he walk off.

Yang sat down beside her sister. “Yang, you ok?” Ruby asked her.

Yang nodded. “I’m fine Ruby, but let me tell you, Blaze in another league. I didn’t managed to hit him once.” The rest of her team became a little worry when they heard that.

Blaze sat down by the rest of his team who started at him with widen eyes. “What?” He asked them.

“How did you do that?” Luna asked him.

“Do what?”

“You just disappeared into thin air when Pyrrha shot at you and then you just appeared right beside her, how did you do that?”

Blaze placed a hand on his face. “Would you believe that I used magic to disappear like that?” The girls gave him a sceptical look. “Thought so.” He let out a sighed. “Look, can we talk about this later?” The girls nodded.

Back to Glynda. “Does anyone wants to challenge someone?”

None stop up at first, then Rarity did. “I want to challenge someone professor Goodwitch.” Every one look at her and her teams mates was a little surprised.

“And who do you want to challenge miss Belle?” Glynda ask her.

Rarity look over to them team Excalibur. “Weiss Schnee.” Now all eyes were on Weiss who had a shocked expression.

She recover fast. “No thanks, I don’t want to fight a Faunus.” She said while sitting back in her seat and crossing her arms.

Rarity then smirked. “What’s the matter? Are you afraid that a filthy Faunus are going to beat you?” That made everyone in the room say ‘oho’. They were sitting on the same road and Rarity could see that Weiss was getting a little angry, that was the plan.

Weiss then stood up faced Rarity. “Alright, if you want to fight then let’s fight.” Rarity couldn’t help but smile.

Once they were down in the arena, Weiss got ready her Myrtenaster while Rarity took out her whip.

Weiss then saw Rarity take out a vial of dust and put into the handle on her whip. “Let me guess, you stool that from my father.”

Rarity look at with and raised eye brown. “Excuse me? Do you think I stole this dust just because I am a Faunus?” Rarity then got angry. “I’ll tell you where I got this dust from, my father. My father is the only one that sells dust on Menagerie and probably the only one who your father hasn’t ruined.” She unlashed her whip on the floor. “And don’t get me started how your family threats the Faunus.” Weiss was taken back when she heard that, she head heard rumours about that, but she don’t know if it’s true or not.

Blaze look over to his team. “What does Rarity mean by that last part?” He ask them.

“They have been controversial labour forces and questionable business partners and some questionable use of Faunus workers.” Blake answered him.

Blaze look back at the arena. “That’s not very nice.” The agreed with him on that.

Rarity was prepared to face her opponent, while Weiss was just about ready as she took up a fighting stance. Both fighters with weapons at the ready, waiting to hear Glynda as the teacher looked at both fighters.

“Begin.”

Rarity was the first one to make a move as she swung her whip towards Weiss. She was hoping to get it wrapped around her opponent's weapon in an attempt to disarm her, but Weiss was able to avoid the attack. With a swift movement of her fingers, the chamber on her Myrtenaster turned as three spears of ice appeared behind her. Pointing her free hand towards her opponent, Weiss began to focus as she hurled them towards Rarity. Though, must to the surprise of the Schnee, her opponent just swatted them away using her whip.

“You want to play with ice then,” Rarity asked, pressing a button on the handle of her weapon. In a matter of seconds, the entire whip was cover in a sheet of ice as she started to approach Weiss. "Fine by me." Swinging her whip in an attempt to try and strike her and throw her off balance.

Because of this unforeseen tactic, Weiss originally had some trouble avoiding Rarity’s attacks. In an attempt to separate herself from her foe, she leaped back a little and spun the chamber again as a thin coat of red appeared on the blade of the rapier. With a swing of her blade, Weiss fired off a series of fireballs towards her opponent and hoping that it would at least melt the frozen coat on her weapon.

However, once more, Rarity just swatted them away. An action that Weiss wasn’t happy with. This Faunus managed to block her attacks not just once, but twice. Conjuring another glyph at the end of Myrtenaster as she fired off another fire ball.

It was an action that had Rarity roll her eyes as she swatted away the fire ball before it could even get closer to her. “Did you really think that fire would help you?”

In a move that confused Weiss, Rarity pressed the button on the handle of her whip again and ejected the dust vial. “You have showed you semblance,” She then opened the lid on the vial and then moved her right arm as ice dust emerge from it. A chill running through the area as she looked back to her opponent. "it would only be right for me to show you mine."

Back with the rest of her team, Tyr was stunned. Not just by the fact that Rarity was holding her own, but because of what had just transpired, “What’s going on?” He asked his teammates.

“That’s Rarity’s semblance, sugarcube,” Applejack told him. "She can control ice dust." Tyr was impressed when he heard that.

Weiss, on the other hand, wasn’t impressed. She stabbed the ground underneath her with her weapon as a white glyph emerged under her. If attacking from a distance was not going to work, then she needed to get within striking range. In a matter of seconds, the glyph launched her towards Rarity, poised to strike.

However, Rarity just smiled. Just as Weiss was about to hit her, a frozen wall of ice appeared emerged from the ground in front of her. A move that not only blocked Weiss' attack, but also sent her tumbling backwards a little.

It took a few moments for her to try and refocus herself after colliding with the wall of ice. Though, when she looked up, all she could see was ice spears hovering behind Rarity. Not like the icicles that she could conjure, but frozen weaponry that was aimed directly at her. “Let’s see how you like this.” Rarity proclaimed as she pushed her hand towards Weiss. The motion was enough to hurl the ice spears towards her as Weiss tried to think. She couldn't be able to dodge them all, but it did not mean that she was going to give up.

With the last of her strength, she conjured a glyph that formed directly in front of her. One that acted as a barrier to protect her from attacks. Even though it was enough to block the first few spears, there was one thing that Weiss did not anticipate. With a flick of her wrist, Rarity was able to directly control several of the spears that she sent towards Weiss. Having them go around the barrier that she had in front of her and strike her from her sides.

It was a move that ultimately would lead to her defeat. The more that the ice spears keep hitting Weiss, the harder it was for her to defend herself and keep the protective barrier up. Eventually, her aura was almost gone as her only protection faded and the Schnee was on the floor.

“That’s enough, Rarity is the winner.”

Rarity stopped her attack and she directed the dust back to the vial she then walk to the exit leaving Weiss on the floor breathing heavily. She had lost, she was a Schnee and she had lost to a Faunus, she couldn’t let her family hear about this.

Glynda look at the students. “That’s all the time we have for today, remember to practice when you have the time.” The students left the room.

In the hallway. “That was awesome Rarity, you really gave Weiss lesson she will never forget.” Said Dash to her friend.

“I just wanted to teach her not to threat Faunus like slaves, we are living beings to.”

“I don’t you think you went a little too far out there.” Said Tyr.

All of them look at him. “What do you mean darling?”

“I understand that you want to teach her a lesson, but you didn’t have to humiliate like that.”

“Maybe I went a little overboard, but I just wanted to teach her a lesson.”

Tyr walk over to Rarity and placed a hand on her shoulder. “I get that but remember, it’s her father that is running the SDC not Weiss.” He then left them.

Later that night in the library was Blaze sitting by one of the computers, he wanted to find out more about Pyrrha and makes her so special.

“I’m impressed that you have learn to use a computer already.”

Blaze look up from the screen to see Ozpin standing not far from him with a cup in his hand. “I always been a fast learner.” He said while going back to the screen.

“I can see that.” Ozpin grabbed a chair so he could sit next to the Faunus. “What are you looking for?” He asked him.

“I am trying to find out what’s so special with Pyrrha Nikos. Just listen to this, started to fight when she was twelve years old, I was weak pegasus at the age. She has never lost a match and that gave her the name invincible girl, well until I fought her that is. I think her winning streak is because of her semblance, she can control magnetism for pete’s sake.”

“And yet you managed to beat her.”

“I guess I was just better than her.” Blaze said with shrugged.

“Which leads me here, how did you managed to do that? I have never seen some one so fast.” Ozpin was about to drink from his cup when he realized that it was gone, Blaze had it.

Blaze took a sip from it. “This coffee is bitter.” He said while making a face, he then gave the cup back to Ozpin. “To answer your question, I’m just fast.”

“Might telling how you become so fast? Something tells me it’s not your semblance.”

Blaze turned off the computer. “Are you sure? There’s a chance you won’t believe me.” He said while facing Ozpin.

Ozpin nodded. “I’m sure.”

Blaze let out sighed. “Alright, I just have to tell you about my world first. Equestria is filled with magic, unirons use magic thanks to their horns, earth ponies has good connection with earth and pegasus can walk on clothes and control the weather. When I was young, I wasn’t the fastest or the strongest pegasus in Equestria but that all chance when I saw my parents died right in front of me.” He look at Ozpin and saw that he a normal face, he didn’t show any emotions at all.

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Yeah, there’s nothing I can do with that now.”

“That’s one way to look at it.”

Blaze nodded. “Anyway, after that event I decided to get stronger and faster so that would never happened again. I started to train but no matter how hard I tried I felt like it was never enough, I wasn’t fast enough. So, I decided to see if I could find the answer in books and I did. I discovered that pegasus ponies from old times managed to use the magic in Equestria to move faster than normal so I decided to try their methods and that was meditation.”

“Did you managed to find their secret?”

Blaze shook his head. “Not at first, I’m not sure how long I meditate but after a while I gave up. I was so frustrated that I didn’t do it, so I decided to end my own life.” Ozpin raised an eye brown when he heard that. “I know not my smartest decision, but it WAS my smartest decision after all. One day I just stood on the edge of a cloud ready to jump and end it all, I closed my eyes and jump of it and then it happened. As I was falling it felt like took forever to reach the ground, so I decided to open my eyes and I happened to see two birds flying beside me and here’s was the fun part, they were moving very slowly.”

“At first I didn’t understand what was going in but when I saw a fish hoping very slow over in the water, it was then I understood that I had manged to use magic to move faster, it took me a while before I managed to master it, but it was worth it.”

“Then you became a guard.” Said Ozpin while taking a sip of coffee.

“That was probably the worst decision I had ever made.”

This intrigued Ozpin. “Really? Do tell.”

Blaze let out a sighed. “Equestria isn’t perfect even princess Celestia think so, there are more female than male and that means that female superior to male.” Ozpin knew what he meant, considering how the Faunus are treated. “I had to work my ass of to become a guard. If it wasn’t for my speed, I’m not sure if could.” He let out a sighed.

“And after a while you became her personal guard.”

Blaze nodded. “Yeap and let me tell you, the other female guard wasn’t happy about that.” He then started to rub his eyes. “I think will head back to my room and relax before I go to bed.” He stood up. “See you around Ozpin.” Blaze then left the library leaving Ozpin alone.

Ozpin took another sip of his coffee. “Interesting.”

Sorry for the short chapter, not.

Team Tornado Talks

“So, you can control ice dust.”

After Rarity’s battle with Weiss, team Tornado headed back to their room.

“Yes darling, that is my semblance.” Said Rarity as they walk through the door.

“Just how? They only one I have heard about that can control dust is the Schnee family, well, I only know of Weiss and her sister so how can you?” Tyr ask Rarity as she walk over to her bed and sat down. “To be honest, I don’t know any your semblance.” He said while look at the rest of his team.

Then Dash decided to speak. “How about this, why don’t you show your semblance.” Both her friends gave her a deadpan look after that. “What? I’m curious, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Tyr just laugh. “Alright.” Then right before their eyes, Tyr skin change into metal. “I can turn my entire body into metal,” He look at his arm. “but I can’t use it for very long considering I get tired very fast.”

Applejack walk over to him and a placed a hand on his cheek, she couldn’t fell his skin at all. “Holly molly, his skin is really metal.”

“It can’t be real.” Then Dash walk over to him and decided to slap him the face, it hurt. “Son of a bitch.” She started to rub her wrist considering it hurt.

Rarity and Applejack couldn’t help but roll their eyes of their friends behaviour. “Why would you do that when Applejack just said it was metal?” Rarity asked her friend.

“I just wanted to confirm it.” She keep on rubbing her wrist. “Damn this hurt.” Rarity and Applejack didn’t feel pity on their friend, it was her own fault.

Tyr just watch the hole thing wondering what just happened. “Is she always like that?” He asked Rarity and Applejack as he turned back to normal.

“Yes.” They said it at the same time.

Tyr couldn’t help but scratch his head. “Alright? What about you Applejack, what’s your semblance?”

“I can double my strength.” Tyr gave her a curious look. “Basically, I can lift twice my own weight, for about two minutes, give or take a few seconds.”

Tyr nodded. “That sounds handy.” Then I look at Dash who was still tubbing her wrist. “And what you Dash, what’s your?”

Dash stop rubbing her wrist to explain. “Mine is two in one.” That just confused Tyr. Dash hold out an arm. “I can create electricity with my hands,” She managed to create electricity in her hand, she then held out a foot. “and wind with my feet.” Wind appeared around her feet which Tyr thought was pretty cool, but he wasn’t going to tell her, her ego was big enough as it is. “The only problem I can’t create both of the at the same time so I have to choose with one I can use.” She placed her foot on the ground. “Which I think suck.”

Rarity couldn’t help but scowl. “Yes, you have said that before.”

Tyr wonder something. "Here's a another questiona about yours semblance Rarity, just how long can you use it? You know, before anything happens."

Rarity had to think for a moment. "Around 90 seconds, if I used it any longer my blood might freeze and I might died." That didn't sound pleasant, not at all.

Then Tyr decided to ask another question. “Why do you three want to be huntress in the first place? Is to protect the once you love?”

“That’s part of it but we also want to try and change the world so the Faunus can live better, we are treated a garbage at time, and some are even sold as slaves, we want to change that. The White Fang aren’t exactly helping us with killing humans.” Applejack told him.

Try couldn’t help but smile of what he heard. “That some noble goals.”

“What about you darling? Why do you want to become a huntsman?” Rarity asked him.

Tyr just shrugged his shoulders. “Pretty much the same as you three, I want to change this world.” Rarity and the others liked that idea.

Jaune Arc part 1

It’s been around three weeks since Blaze arrived in Remnant and it’s been an experiences for him, he have learned more about the three more kingdoms in Remnant. To the west was the desert kingdom of Vacuo, while Atlas was far to the north and the Kingdom of Mistral was to the each. He also learned that each country was different. Atlas was the most technologically advanced out of all of them, with Vale and Mistral not far behind. As for Vacuo, the kingdom was once known to be an oasis with natural resources and dust mines. However, Vacuo was now a barren environment with the only widely accepted source of order in the kingdom being Shade Academy.

Nothing much happened these three weeks except one thing, Pyrrha was grateful that Blaze had beaten her in combat and boy was he surprised, he had never thought someone would thank him for that. Pyrrha explain that she had never lost a fight before and it was new experience which she like. Again, he didn’t expect that.

He and the rest of his team was currently in the great hall where they all heard Ozpin speech for the first time and they were watching Jaune and Cardin fight, if you could call it that. Blaze had watch the fight for a few minutes and it looked like that Jaune couldn’t fight at all.

Jaune had resting on his sword while his left hand was on his knee and he was breathing heavily, Cardin was just standing there looking smudge, then he laugh.

“Come on…”

Jaune then charge towards Cardin trying to hit him with his sword, Cardin just dodge the attach then he swung his mace towards Jaune who tried to block it with his shield, it didn’t work. He was knock backwards and lost his shield. Jaune got up and charge Cardin again, he swung his swords towards Cardin who just block it with his mace.

They struggle. “This is the part where you lose.” Cardin told Jaune while pushing him down.

“Over my dead…” That was all Jaune could say before Cardin hit him in the stomach with his knee.

Jaune feel down on the ground and Cardin raised his mace over his head to finish of Jaune, he never got the chance, the buzzer went off and the match was over.

“Cardin, that’s enough.” People around in audience started to clap, well not all of them. Team BBLO, EYWR, TRRA and the rest of Jaune’s team didn’t clap for Cardin. Glynda walk to the middle of the arena while holding a scroll in her hand. “Student, as you can see Mr. Arc’s aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament style duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit to battle and that the official may call the match. Mister Arc, it’s been weeks now please to refer to your scroll combat gauging your aura will help you to decide when it is appropriate to attack or when it’s better to move to a more… defensive strategy.”

While she was talking, Jaune had gotten up in a sitting position while taking out his scroll. Apparently you could monitor your aura and your team on the scroll which Blaze thought was handy when he discovered that.

“We wouldn’t want you to be gobble up by a Beowolf, now would we?” She then look at her scroll again. “We have time for one more, is there anyone who want to fight?” While Glynda look for the next one, Jaune walk off the stage and sat down beside his team mates.

“Are you ok Jaune?” Pyrrha asked him.

Jaune forced a smile. “I’m fine Pyrrha.”

Before anyone could react, Tyr stood up. “I want to battle professor Goodwitch.”

Glynda nodded. “Very well Mr. Laraan, who do you want to fight?”

“He already on stage.”

Every person in the room look over to Cardin who just stood the with his mace on his shoulder. “Sure, I can take him on.” He said with a smug smile.

“Very well, step on the stage Mr. Laraan.”

While Tyr was walking towards the stage, the rest of his team couldn’t help but smile. “This is going to be so good.” Said Dash.

“What do you mean by that?” Ebony asked her.

“Just wait and see.”

Every one become very curious right now, they had seen Tyr fight and he was very good but there’s was one thing they haven’t seen yet and that’s his semblance yet. Beside his team mates, Blaze knew Tyr the best and even he didn’t know.

Once Tyr was on the stage, Glynda walk in the background to give them some space. Cardin got in a fighting position while Tyr just crossed his arms which confused everyone in the room, even Glynda.

“Mr. Laraan, why aren’t you drawing your weapon?” She asked him.

“I don’t need to draw my weapon against Cardin, you can start the match.”

That just confused everyone even more. “Have your leader lost his mind? He is going to lose.” Said Luna while looking at the Dash and the others.

“Don’t worry darling, Tyr got this.” Rarity answered her, her answer didn’t help that much.

“Alright, begging the match.”

Cardin was about to attack. “Hey Cardin.” He look over to Tyr. “I’m not going to move so you can hit me in the head.” When Cardin heard that, he was furious. It was like he made fun of him, Cardin then charge Tyr while holding his mace over his head and he did like what Tyr said, he hit him in the head.

Cardin couldn’t help but smirk that Tyr didn’t move at all, but the smirk disappeared pretty fast when he felt the hit, it was like he hit metal. Cardin look at Tyr and boy was he shocked Tyr’s skin was now metal.

“You call that a hit?” Tyr then grabbed Cardin’s mace and removed it from his head with ease, Cardin tried to stop it, but Tyr was to strong. “This is a hit.” Before Cardin could react Tyr headbutted him the head, before Cardin could recover Tyr ram his knee right into his stomach, Cardin feel face first down on floor clutching his stomach.

“That look like it hurt.” Said Blaze, he didn’t like Cardin, but he could feel his pain.

Cardin’s aura went down to red. “It look’s you won Mr. Lataan but I suggest a fair match next time.” Said Godwin while walking towards them.

Tyr deactivated his semblance. “I will professor.” Tyr bowed and walk of the stage while Cardin just lay there.

Glynda then look over the rest of the students. “Remember everyone! The Vytal Festival is only a few months away. It won’t be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing!” When she mention the festival, most of the students went a little crazy which Blaze didn’t understand. He knew why they had the festival every year but not why they were so excited. “Those who chose to compete will representing all of Vale.” Then the bell rang, and it was time for lunch.

At lunch, Blaze and his team sat with Tyr’s team, Ebony and Jaune’s. They have become friends over the three weeks at Beacon.

Nora was currently telling of an adventure she and Ren had, Blaze and the other could hear that she was wasn’t telling the whole truth, lucky for Ren was there to correct her.

“So… there we were… in the middle of the night…”

Ren. “It was day…”

“We were surrounded by Ursai…”

“They were Beowolves.”

“DOZENS OF THEM…”

Everyone had their own way of coping with her story. Yang was the only one who was into the story, Weiss was tending her nails, Ebony was bored, Ruby was worried about Jaune, so was Pyrrha. Blaze was trying to eat, so was Luna and Opal while Blake was reading a book. Like Ebony, Dash was bored, Applejack, Rarity and Tyr was also trying to eat their food.

Blaze happened to look over to Jaune who was just ‘playing’ with his food. “You ok there Jaune`?” He asked him.

Jaune was a little surprised that Blaze talk to him. “Uh. Oh, yeah. Why?”

“You have been staring at your food ever since you sat down, something is wrong.”

That made some at the table to look at him which made him nervous. “Eh, guys, I’m fine… Seriously, look.” He tried to laugh at the end, it didn’t convince them.

Then they saw Jaune look in a direction, it was Cardin and his team, and they were bullying a Faunus by the name of Velvet Scarlatina. They were surrounding her. Blaze couldn’t believe a guy like that was allowed to be at this school. To be honest, he still couldn’t believe he was a student at the school.

“Jaune, Cardin’s been picking on you since the first week of school.” Pyrrha said.

Then Blaze decided to say something. “She right.”

“Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah… he just likes to mess around, you know? practical jokes.”

Ruby. “He is a bully.” Everyone agreed on that, those who were paying attention.

“Oh please… name one time he’s ‘bulling’ me…” He finished with a nervous laughter.

Luna. “There was that one time he made your shield expand so you couldn’t enter the class room.”

Dash. “Then it was the time he showed you into locker and send of off somewhere, which was hilarious.” She then started to laugh.

Applejack just hit her in the side with her elbow. “You are not helping.” She hissed at her friend.

“I didn’t land far from the school.”

The rest of the teams has stop doing whatever they were doing to listen.

Pyrrha. “Jaune, you know if you ever need help you can just ask…”

Pyrrha never got to finish, Nora interrupted her. “Ohh, we break his legs.” That made everyone to look at here.

“I don’t like Cardin, but that sound a little extreme.” Said Rarity.

Jaune took his food tray and stood up. “Guys, really, it’s fine. Besides, it’s not like he’s only a jerk to me, he’s a jerk to everyone.”

“He’s got a point.” Said Opal.

Then they heard some laughter and someone who was in pain, they look over to where it was coming from and it was Cardin who was pulling Velvet’s ears.

Then Blaze stood up. “You might not stand up to him, but I will.” He then walk over to Cardin and his team. “Hey, Cardin.” That got Cardin to reals her ears.

“Is there something you want Faunus?” Cardin asked in a bored tone while sitting down and placing his elbow on the table and resting his head on his hand.

Blaze stood in front of them while Velvet hide behind him. “I want you to leave Velvet alone or you and I are going to have a problem.”

Cardon stood up and walk right up to Blaze so they were face to face. “Do you really think that you scare me Faunus?” The rest of his team also stood up.

“Maybe not me but what about them?” Blaze nodded his head towards where his team was sitting.

Cardin look there and saw that they had gotten up, so had team EYWR and TRRA. He considering his option and they were not good.

“Whatever, this freak isn’t worth it. Let’s go guys.” Cardin and his team left the dining hall.

“Man, what an asshole.” Blaze look at Velvet who was shaking a little. “You ok Velvet?”

She nodded her head. “Yes, thanks for the help.” She said with a smile.

Blaze smiled back. “You’re welcome.” She gave him a hug before she walk off while Blaze walk back to the rest the group.

Pyrrha. “Atrocious. I can’t stand people like him.” Pyrrha said while looking at where Cardin had walk off to.

“He’s not the only one.” Said Blake.

“It must be hard to be a Faunus.” Then Yang just realized what she just said. “Sorry, it didn’t mean to offend any off you.” She said to the Faunus of the group.

“Don’t worry about it darling.” Rarity told her.

“Speak for yourself.” Dash mumbled while eating her food.

Then Ebony decided to speak. “By the way, where did you six get your training? I didn’t see you at Shade academy.”

“Me, Rarity and Dash trained at Signal, considering that is one of the fee places that will train a Faunus.” Applejack told Ebony.

Ebony then look at Luna and Opal. “Father.” They said it at the same time which took them both of guard.

While they were talking Blaze couldn’t help but notice Cardin standing by one of the entrance to the dining hall, he keep looking at Jaune and he didn’t like it. Then the bell rang, and it was time for class.

This time it was a history lesson with Professor Bartholomew Oobleck and he was teaching them about the Faunus Right Revolution or Faunus war as it is known as. Blaze was sort of listing to him, but he was more impressive that the professor could move at such speed on the floor, he wasn’t as fast himself but still.

“Yes! Yes, prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus war, humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie.”

Menagerie, Blaze had read about that place, it’s an island southeast in Remnant. it’s the only place where Faunus could feel safe and at home.

Oobleck kept moving around the room. “Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative that these are relatively recent events! Why the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!” He keep moving around the room drinking his coffee which had to be the source of his speed. “Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?”

Blaze look around the room and saw that every Faunus raised their hand, he didn’t want to do it himself but in the short time he’s been in Vale he hasn’t been treated nice. He also notice that Blake was the only one on his team that didn’t raise her hand, which disappointed him. Blaze also saw that Jaune was sleeping and Carding wasn’t paying attention.

“Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!” He then took a sip off his cup. “I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang!”

The White Fang, a group of Faunus that’s fight for rights of the Faunus. Blaze had read about them too and he didn’t understand how killing humans and stealing for them was going to help the Faunus, it was only making things worse.

“Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorists believe to be the turning point in the third year of the war?” Weiss raised her hand. “Yes?”

“The battle of Fort castle!”

“Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over general Lagune’s forces?”

While the professor was asking his question, Cardin decided to flip a paper against Jaune’s head, which woke him up.

“Hey.”

Oobleck was right at his desk. “Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?”

“Uhhhh… the answer…” He didn’t know. “The advantage… of the Faunus… had over that guy’s stuff.” While he was trying to find the answer, Pyrrha was trying to help him by pointing at her eyes.

Blaze was watching the whole thing and he was a little shocked that he didn’t know, even Blaze knew because he was a Faunus.

Jaune gave his answer. “Binoculars.” That made almost every student to laugh, the only one who was laughing was Blaze’s team, Ebony’s team and Tyr’s team, not Dash she thought it was hilarious. Pyrrha just smack a hand on her face. The professor was not impressed.

Oobleck was back behind his desk. “Very funny, Mr. Arc. Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!”

Blaze would be surprised if he even knew. “Well, I know it’s a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier.” Blaze couldn’t help but think what an ass he was.

Blaze then raised his hand. “It looks like Mr. Fury know the answer.” Everyone look at him.

“It’s night vision, most Faunus can see perfectly in the dark depending on which animal they are.” Cardin wasn’t happy that Blaze took his spotlight.

Then Blake took over for her team leader. “General Lagune was inexperience and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured. Perhaps if he’d paid attention in class, he wouldn’t have been remembered as such a failure.”

That made the student’s say ‘ooo’ while Cardin wasn’t happy that he was made a fool, he was about to get up and teach Blake a lesson, the professor stop him.

“Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat.” Jaune started to laugh and the professor was right in front of him again. “You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings.” That made Jaune groan. “Now, moving on.”

Once class was done Blaze and his team went back to their room. “Man, what a jerk Cardin is.” Said Luna while laying on her bed. “I know it’s a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier.” She said while trying to imitate him. “What’s his problem?”

“He thinks he’s better than everyone ells.” Said Blaze while finding his clothes.

“Really? That’s just stupide he’s not better than everyone ells, the only one he’s managed to beat in the three weeks we have been here at Beacon is Jaune. I have even beaten Cardin and let me tell you, he wasn’t happy by that.” Said Luna.

“That’s human nature for you.” Said Opal while sitting down on her bed.

“Well, I’m going to get chance and fly around a little, I need to stretch my wings.” Blaze told them while walking into the bathroom.

Before the girls could react, Blaze was already coming out from the bathroom fully dressed.

“Would you stop that.” Said Luna.

Blaze raised an eye brown. “Stop what?”

“Doing everything so fast, you have been doing it for three weeks and it’s still creeps me out.” Luna told him.

“I have to agree with Luna on this one, why can’t you act normal?” Said Opal.

Blaze didn’t think that how fast he was would bother them this much. “Alright, if it bothers you all that much I will stop. Now, if you will excuse me, I’m going for a flight before bedtime.” He walk over to the window, opened it he and flew out leaving the girls alone.

Once he was gone. “Did I offend him?” Luna asked the other two.

Opal walk over to the window and closet it. “Maybe, he likes begging fast even it’s not his semblance.”

Luna got a sombre look. “I didn’t mean to offend him, it’s so creepy that’s his so fast.”

Blake sat down on her bed with on of her books. “I don’t mind that his so fast.”

Luna look over to her. “Of course not, your weird. No offence.” Blake just shrugged it off.

Blaze had no idea what the girls was talking about, he was too busy with flying around Beacon. He has been here over three weeks and he still can’t get over how advance this word is, the most advance this they had in Equestria was the train which work on steam. Blaze had read that the trains in Remnant is way faster in his world, he was curious just how fast they were.

After a while of flying he headed back to the building and then he spotted Jaune and Pyrrha talking on the roof, he was curious of what they were talking about, but he knew not to listen to others conversations. Blaze flew off but little didn’t he know that someone overheard what Jaune and Pyrrha was talking about.

Ebony vs Weiss

“I can’t believe you Weiss, we get our first mission and you managed to almost to get those people kill just because you wanted to be the hero.”

Team Excalibur was currently walking down the hallway to their dorm after a mission, their mission was to help some farmers that live just outside Vale, the people they had some trouble with Grimm and Ebony’s team was send to help them with the problem.

“I told you to help out the people there but no,” Ebony opened the door to their room and walk in, the girls followed her. “you had to go on your little quest.” Ebony turned around to face Weiss. “What’s your problem?” She shouted at the Schnee.

Weiss was as calm as ever as she walk over to her bed. “I don’t see what’s your problem is, the Grimm is gone, and the farmers are safe.”

“No thanks to you, the farmers almost died if it hadn't been for Yang. I’m going to ask you again, what’s your problem?” Ebony was now breathing heavily.

"You want to know what my problem is? It’s you.”

That made Ebony raise an eye brown. “Me? What the hell do you mean? Don’t tell me your still mad that I became team leader and not you.” Ebony couldn’t help but rubbed her face in frustration when Weiss refused to look at her. “You got to be kidding me, that was three weeks ago, are you still sour about that?”

“Yes, I am. I still believe that I should be team leader, I’m the one who is qualified.”

“What? Because you are a Schnee?” Ebony couldn’t help but snort. “Oh please, that only you Schnee are good at is making money and making life miserable for the Faunus.” She told Weiss while crossing her arms.

Weiss wasn’t too happy to hear that. “Hey, my father runs the company, I have nothing to do with that.”

Ebony just snort. “Oh please, you Schnee are all the same.”

While they were arguing, the two sisters was watching the whole thing. “Should we do something?” Ruby asked her sister.

“You know as well as me when those two starts arguing it’s almost impossible to stop them, we just have to wait until they are done.” Yang told her younger sister.

When it came to the arguing couple, Weiss had enough. “That’s it, I had enough that you think your better than everyone ells.” She pointed a finger at her team leader. “Ebony Nox, I challenge you to duel for the leadership to team EYWR.” The entire room became quiet when she said those words.

“Did you just say that you want to challenge me to duel for the right to lead the team?” Ebony asked the Schnee.

Weiss nodded. “That’s right, I’m going to prove to you that I am the better leader.”

Ebony walk over to Weiss so they were face to face. “Alright Schnee if you want to fight then let’s fight. But, if I win you are going to accept that I am team leader and you have to listen to me.”

Weiss gritted her teeth. “Fine, but if I win you have to accepted that I’m the team leader and you have to do it in front of the entire school.” Then they just started at each other.

The next day after classes had ended, the entire school was gather fighting arena to watch Ebony and Weiss fight, Glynda was there to make sure it was a fair fight.

As they stood in the training ground, both Ebony and Weiss had their weapons drawn and ready to fight. When the match began, Weiss made the first move, conjuring a glyph to accelerate herself forward as she lunged for her opponent. Yet, as she got closer, Ebony did not move. Instead, she used her daggers to deflect her attack and attempted to kick her legs to knock her down.

Weiss herself saw the attempt and avoided the kick easily. However, it was second afterwards that she felt as if her legs were pulled out from underneath her and fell forward. As Weiss conjured a second glyph to get her to stand upright, Ebony took the dagger that she had in her left hand and threw it towards her as it lightly scraped her cheek.

"Really? Throwing your weapon away? Is that your plan?" She mocked.

All Ebony did was smirk as she held out her free hand, "Who said I was throwing it away?"

At first, Weiss blinked as she turned around. The dagger she threw was coming back towards her opponent, barely missing her head as Ebony went back on the offensive. Her twin daggers colliding with Weiss' rapier. The Schnee was still trying to figure out what exactly was going on and what her opponent was trying to do. Was she trying to outlast her? Wear her down and force her to use up her strength too quickly? What was her plan?

It was not just a question that Weiss was thinking though. Several of the students were also trying to figure out what Ebony was trying to do. "Come on, why isn't Ebony doing anything?" Ruby complained as she watched their teammates fight while sitting next to her sister.

"Beats me, sis. I can't exactly tell what's going on inside that head of hers." Yang then added.

Though, both sisters were a bit surprised to hear someone that sat next to them speak up, "I would think that she's watching her opponent's movements." They heard Opal from team BBLO speak up. "You know, see what she does and find something she can use to gain the upper hand."

"How though?" Ruby said. "I mean, Ebony looks cool, but all she's got is just a set of daggers."

"Don't forget her semblance too." another student, Tyr from team TRRA, added on.

"Yeah, whatever that might be." Yang rolled her eyes.

"Wait... you... don't know if she has a semblance?" Opal then asked, sounding a bit surprised.

"The conversation never really came up," she shrugged. "The last couple of conversations we had... didn't quite go so well."

"Well then," Tyr replied, looking back towards the arena. "This outta be interesting."

Back on the floor of the arena, Ebony was doing everything she could to avoid the incoming attacks from Weiss as she tried to push her opponent into a corner. However, it was as Weiss prepared to conjure another glyph that something caught her off guard. The Schnee's intention was to launch some more icicles at her opponent. However, before she had the chance, Weiss felt something grab hold of her left arm. She tried to move it, but it was locked in place. Something that made her opponent smirk.

"Caught you." Ebony grinned as she looked towards Weiss' arm. When the Schnee looked towards it, she was shocked to find a claw of darkness wrapped around her arm and grabbing hold of it firmly.

"W-what the-? What is this?!"

All her opponent did was smirk as she looked back towards Weiss, "Since you seem to be using that right arm of yours quite frequently to channel your glyphs, I decided to lock it in place. As long as you can't conjure your glyphs, I say this is checkmate."

Everyone in the stands, especially Ruby and Yang, were thrown off guard by this. Opal though, looked surprised as she turned towards her teammates. "What the hell is that kind of semblance?! What's she doing?"

"She... using the shadows." both sisters now turned to see Blake, who was sitting next to Opal and had put away the book that she was reading earlier.

"Don't you do something like that too, Blake?" Opal asked.

"Almost... but mine's not the same." The Faunus explained, "I conjures shadows of myself, almost like copies. Mainly, I use it to evade attacks and move out of the way. However,... this semblance is more offensive. She's using the shadows to 'lock down' and prevent her opponent from using whatever her shadows grab hold of."

"Like a... Shadow Lock?" Tyr then asked, "That... sounds way too strong."

"Maybe." Blake acknowledged his comment, "But no semblance is invincible."

Ironically, just as the Faunus said that, Weiss used her free hand to grab hold of something in her back pouch and dropped it on the ground. Ebony took a look and saw three dust crystals, two water Dust and one fire. Before she could realize what was happening, Weiss released the grip on her weapon, caught it with her free hand and shattered the crystals. The combination of dust created a smokescreen that she sent towards Ebony, the smoke obscuring her vision as she was forced to release the lock that she had on Weiss arm.

The Schnee thought that she had the upper hand, though, in a surprise turn of events, Ebony jumped upward from the smoke and threw two of her daggers towards Weiss, forcing her opponent to duck as the daggers landed on the ground. The Schnee thought that with Ebony's weapons gone, she was clear to win.

However, that turned out not to be the case. As Weiss lunged for her, Ebony slammed the third dagger on the ground and dashed out of the way and slammed the ground in front of her. Seconds afterwards, the shadows from her weapons darted towards Weiss as it struck her legs and grabbed hold of her. Forcing her down to her knees as the shadows from the final dagger grabbed hold of her arm and Ebony's own shadow grabbed the rest of her. Locking her entire body in place, even though it was forcing Ebony to concentrate as her aura was beginning to slowly dwindle.

"It's not just her shadows?" Tyr now asked, surprised at this recent development.

"Her shadows and the shadows off of objects," Opal said, realizing something, "It's how she had her weapons come back to her so quickly earlier when Weiss thought she threw them away."

"Yet, this is something that's requires more focus. It's why her aura's slowly dwindling," Blake commented as she looked at the screen.

Weiss wanted to find a way out and escape. However, the shadows prevented her from moving even an inch. After several attempts to try and move though, both of them heard another voice interject.

"That's enough," Glynda spoke up, "The winner of the Match is Ebony."

After the victor was decided, the shadows released their hold on Weiss while also pulling the daggers back towards Ebony as she sheathed them away. As Ebony approached Weiss though, that was when she offered a hand to help her up off the ground. "You did well." she complimented the Schnee, "For a moment, I thought I was going to lose. You're pretty strong."

Weiss just knock her hand away. “I don’t need your pity.” She then got up and stormed out.

Her team just watch her leave. “Well, that went well.” Said Yang while rolling her eyes.

Blaze just watch as Weiss left, he couldn’t believe how ungrateful she was towards Ebony. Blake saw that something was up with her leader. “Blaze, is something wrong?” She asked him. He said nothing, he just got up and walk after Weiss.

“Dame it, I should have won.” After her defeat, Weiss had ventured to the garden outside Beacon, she had found a tree and started to hit it with her fist. “I can’t believe I let the bitch beat me.” She hit the tree once more and the tears came. “I should have been the leader.” She wipe away the tears and turnaround to head back inside but she didn’t get very far, right behind her stood Blaze with is arms crossed. “What do you want Faunus?” Blaze said nothing, he just watch her. “If you are here to make me feel better then you are wasting your time.” He still didn’t say anything, and Weiss was getting impeached impatient. “Just say something.” She snap at him.

“Why are you acting like this?”

That question took her off guard. “What?”

“I asked you why you are acting like this? Do you think your better than everyone ells in this school? Because it certainly looks like it.”

“I’m not acting like this, I am better then everyone ells, I’m a Schnee.”

“Yeah, so?” She was about to shout at him, but he didn’t let her. “Here at this school it doesn’t matter who you are everyone is equal, you just think your better. Let me ask you something Weiss, have you even tried to get your know your team in these three weeks or have just ignored them?”

“What have that do with anything?” Blaze didn’t answer, he just gave her a disappointing look. “What? You don’t have anything more to say?”

“I have this, whether you like it or not you are part of a team and you have to live with them for four years. You should get along with them not fight them.” He then turned around and walk away leaving Weiss alone.

“That was awesome.” After the fight, Ebony and the sisters went back to the dorm. “Why didn’t you tell us that you had so cool semblance?”

Ebony who was sitting on her bed with a smirk on her face. “You didn’t ask.” Ruby just rolled her eyes of the answer. “I just don’t like to reveal everything about me.”

“Is because you’re from Vacuo?” Yang asked who was standing beside her leader bed.

“That part of it, the many reason is…” She never got to say it, the door open and Weiss walked in and the girls could see that she had be crying. “Well, look who it is, have you calm down or are you still angry at me for beating you?” Ebony asked her.

Weiss took a deep breath. “No, I’m not mad at you.” That surprised Ebony and the sister’s. “I have done some thinking and I have realized that I was the one who was out of line yesterday and I should have never had challenge you in the first place, I was never meant to be leader of this team, you were and I’m sorry.” Ebony, Yang and Ruby was speechless. They never thought that Weiss would apologize. “Would you please say something, your creeping me out.”

Ebony shook her head. “Sorry Weiss, I didn’t expect you to apologize.”

Weiss rolled her eyes of what Ebony said. “Well, I did. Just laugh it up.”

“I’m not going to laugh of you Weiss, I’m just surprised that you apologize.” Ebony the got up. “Look, I’m not saying that we have to be best friends but let’s at each try and get along with each other.” Ebony stuck out a hand. “What do you say?”

Weiss started at Ebony’s hand and it felt like an eternity, Blaze words play in her head and as much as she hated it, he was right. She was part of a team and she had to get along with them, whether she liked it or not.

She eventually shook Ebony’s hand. “Fine, I don’t like this, but I’ll will try and get along with you and the team.”

Ebony couldn’t help but smiled and before she could say anything, Ruby was between them. “Hurray, they are getting along.” And then she hug them.

Right now, it was awkward for Ebony and Weiss. “Ruby, if you don’t want to go to bed with a black eye, you will let us go right now.”

“I agree with Ebony with this one.”

Ruby let go of them both. “Sorry.” She said with an innocent smile. She then ran back to her sister.

“So, what were you girls talking about before I entered?” Weiss asked while straiting out her dress.

“Ebony was about to tell us about her past and why she dosen’t trust us, I think.” Said Yang while placing a hand under her chin.

Weiss face light up when she heard that. “Really? I would really like to hear this, considering you know so much about us, but we know almost nothing about you, only your semblance.”

Ebony walk back to her bed and sat down. “My story isn’t a happy one, I was left on the doorstep to the local orphanage in Vacuo when I was a child.”

The entire room became quit when she said that, then Weiss decided to speak. “You’re kidding, right? Your weren’t left at the orphanage when you were a child.” Then Weiss saw that Ebony wasn’t lying. “Oh my… you were. Is that’s the reason you don’t like my family?”

“What? No, I just don’t like your family in general but yes, I was left at the orphanage when I was just a child.”

“But, why? Why would someone do that?” Ruby asked.

Ebony just shrugged her shoulders. “Don’t know and I don’t care.”

“That’s a bleak way to look at it.” Said Weiss.

“It’s the only way I can look at it.”

“But, don’t you want to know who your parent’s are?”

Ebony got up and look Ruby in the eyes. “Of course I want to know who my parents, at least at first.” That confused her team. “While growing up I want to know who they were but when I was old enough I realised something, if they don’t want me then I don’t want to know who they are. What kind of parents leaves a child in the doorstep at an orphanage?” Ebony had shouted that last part and now were breathing heavily.” You may look at world in black and white Ruby, but I see it as it is, a cruel world.” She took a deep breath. “I’m going to take a shower.” She then walk to the bathroom and slammed the door behind herself.

The rest of her team just look at the door, wondering if they real know their team leader better. They weren’t so sure.

Then Yang spoke up. “Now I understand why she don’t trust people, considering what her parents did.” Ruby and Weiss just nodded in agreement.

After a while Ebony came back out only in her underwear, Weiss, who was sitting on her bed reading a book just rolled her eyes when she saw Ebony in her underwear.

Ebony walk over to her bed. “Ebony.” She look over to Ruby who was standing beside her bed. “I’m sorry about before.”

Ebony just waved a hand. “Don’t worry about it, I’m used to it.” She then lay on her bed.

“But, there's one thing I'm wondering, didn’t anyone adopt you?”

“Nope, I left the orphanage when I was eleven and I joined Shade academy when I was old enough.”

“Why did you come to Beacon then? Why not stay in Vacuo?” Weiss asked her.

“I wanted to get away from Vacuo and considering how Vacuo relationships with Atlas and Mistral, I chose Beacon.” She let out a tiring sighed. “Look, can we talk about my life another time, fighting and beating Weiss was tiring.”

“Oh ha ha ha, very funny. Let’s just laugh at loser.” Weiss said while closing her book. “If you don’t want to talk about your past anymore, what about your semblance. How does it work?”

“I thought it was obvious, I use the shadow to create shadow claws so I can trap my opponent.”

“Can you use the shadow to your opponent?” Yang asked her.

Ebony shook her head. “No, it’s has to my own shadow or my daggers, I can also control my daggers with their shadow.”

“Sounds a little powerful to me.” Said Weiss.

“Maybe, but when I use it drains my aura so I can’t use it for very long.” She then let out a yawn. “I’m going to get some sleep, it’s been a long day.” The girls look out of the window and saw that night had arrived, maybe it was time to get some sleep.

Jaune Arc part 2

After his talk with Weiss, Blaze did as he usually does fly around Beacon so he could stretch his wings. After some flying it started to get dark so he headed back to Beacon, once he was in the hallway to the dorms he could see Jaune standing outside the door to his room.

“Jaune?” That made the blond boy jump into the air, he turned to face the Blaze. “Why are you standing outside your toom?”

“Oh, you know, just catching some air."

Blaze didn’t believe that all. “Don’t you need to be outside to do that?” Jaune just look down on the ground. “Look, I don’t know why you are out here and to be honest it’s not my problem.” He walk over to Jaune and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Just don’t stay out to late, we have a field trip tomorrow.” He then started to walk back to his own room.

“Hey Blaze.” The Faunus stop and turned around to face Jaune. “What do you do when one messed up?”

Blaze crossed his arms. “What do you mean?”

“I did something I shouldn’t have and now Cardin’s got me on a leash and Pyrrha won’t talk to me…” He then sighed. “I’m starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea.” He then leaned on to his door and slide down. “I’m a failure.” He said while sitting down.

Blaze walk over to him and sat down beside him. “And just what is that Cardin has on you?” Jaune didn’t answer him. “Look Jaune, I can’t help you if you don’t tell me.” Still no answer. “I thought we were friends.”

“We are Blaze but if I told you I could get me expelled from Beacon.”

Blaze then got up. “Then I can’t help you.” He started to walk towards his room.

“I faked my transcript.” That made Blaze stop dead in his track. “I didn’t go to any combat school and I didn’t pass any test, I lied to get here.”

Blaze turned around to face him. “And let me guess, Cardin knows and if you don’t do as he says he is going to tell Ozpin and you will be expelled.” Jaune nodded. “Well, it’s a difficult situation you have gotten you self into Jaune, but I don’t think Cardin can’t do anything.”

Jaune look at him with a confused look. “What?”

“If you really faked your papers, do you really think that Ozpin wouldn’t notice? He’s the headmaster of this school and I doubt he make a mistake like that.”

Jaune look down on the floor. “That might be true, but Cardin still has me on a leash.”

“Then you have stand up to him, don’t let him push you around.” Blaze told him.

“You make it sound so easy.”

“Well, it’s not.” Jaune look up at him. “I was bullied when I was younger, it became so bad that I almost took my own life.”

Jaune was shocked when he heard that. “What did you do?” He asked the Faunus.

“I did was my father told me, that I had to stand up to those who was bulling me, it took a while before they stop but it work. Stand up for yourself Jaune.” Jaune didn’t say anything, he just looked back down on the floor. “Fine, don’t take my advice. At least try and get some sleep, we have a field trip tomorrow.” Before he walk. “And one more thing, I suggest you let Pyrrha teach you how to fight, you need it if you are going to survive in this world.” With those word he left Jaune alone.

The very next day, team BBLO, TRRA, EYWR and JNPR was in the Forest of Forever Fall with Glynda and the leaves was red. “Yes students, the Forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sightsee. Professor Peaches asked all of you to collect samples from trees deep inside the forest. And I’m here to make sure that none of you die while doing so.” She then stop so did groups. Jaune, who was carrying Cardin stuff managed to pump into him. “Each of you is to gather one jar’s worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at four o’clock. Have fun.” While the others walk of, Cardin dragged of Jaune.

Once the teams had found a place where they could collect the sap, which was a little difficult considering Nora was drinking most of it.

“I know that Professor Glynda told us to collect this stuff, but it would been a lot easier if Nora would stop drinking most of it.” Said Ebony in a frustrating tone while looking at her fellow huntress. “Dame it Lie, control you woman already.” She told the couple while helping Ruby with a jar.

“Hey, don’t be mad at Lie.” Nora told the leader of team EVWR.

“Then stop eating all of the sap.”

Tyr, who was helping Rarity, couldn’t help but think that argument between them was a little hilarious. “You know, it’s almost watching Applejack and Dash argue.” He told Rarity who couldn’t help but giggle of what he said.

“Hey, I don’t argue that much with Applejack.” Dash protested.

“Yes, you do.” AJ said in a bored tone while filling up a jar, then they started to argue.

Little did the teams know that not far from them, Jaune, Cardin and his team was hiding behind some rocks with six filled jar.

“Cardin, what’s going on?” He asked in a nervous tone.

“Payback.” Said Cardin while looking at certain red hair woman who was busy filling up a jar.

Jaune. “Pyrrha?”

While they were plotting, Blaze happened to look in their direction. ‘What the…? What are Jaune doing with Cardin?’ He then saw that Cardin was looking at Pyrrha. ‘Are he looking for revenge? But why Pyrrha?’ There’s was another thought going through his mind if he did then he would save Pyrrha from whatever they had planned for her but if he did, there was a chance that Cardin would never stop harassing Jaune.

“Blaze, are you ok?” It was Blake and her voice brought him back. “You have been staring at something, is something wrong?”

Blaze shook his head. “It’s nothing, I was just think.” They went back to collecting sap.

Jaune on the other hand, he was forced by Cardin to throw a jar of sap at Pyrrha so she could be stung by bees, Jaune had the jar in his hand and was about to throw it when he remember Blaze’s words; ‘You have to stand up to him, don’t let him push you around.’ He then saw Pyrrha smile.

“No.” Jaune lowered the jar.

Cardin didn’t like what he said. “What did you say?”

“I said…” He then threw the jar at Cardin. “NO. I’m done with you pushing me around, this ends now.”

Cardin, who was covered with sad, was not happy. “Oh oh oh, you’ve done it now.” All the bravery that Jaune just had was now gone when Cardin and his team advance on him, then Cardin lifted him up with one arm and punch him with the other one, so he fell on the ground. “You know that wasn’t very smart, Jaune-y boy.” He lifted Jaune up again. “I’m going to make sure they send you back to mommy in teeny, tiny, pieces.”

“I don’t care what you do to me. But you are not messing with my team.”

Cardin lifted Jaune up in the air. “What, you think talk like that makes you tough? You think you’re a big strong man now?”

“I’m not strong but I’m done with you pushing me around.” Jaune said with a smile on his face.

That pissed Cardin off even more, he then punched Jaune in the face but when he did a light erupted from Jaune which hurt Cardin’s fist. Jaune look at his hands and saw they were glowing, but before he could figure out what just happened one of Cardin’s teammates pushed him down on the ground.

Cardin was ready again. “Let’s see how much of a man you really are.” Before he could punch him again they all heard a growl behind them, it was a Ursa and it had been drawn of the smell of the sap on Cardin chest.

Cardin and his team was now afraid. “That’s a big Ursa.” Said Russel as he and the rest started to run, Cardin was left behind.

The Ursa then swat away Cardin with its paw, then it look like was going to attack Jaune but then the Ursa started to walk towards Cardin instead of Jaune. Jaune then got up and watch as the Ursa was right on top of Cardin, Cardin the drew his weapon to defend himself but the Ursa just swap it away. The mace just landed in front of Jaune who thought about running.

The other teams was still collecting sad when they heard loud roar. “Did you guys hear that.” Said Ruby as rest of Cardin’s team ran past them.

“Where the hell are they going?” Asked Ebony as she watch them ran.

Then Russel shouted. “Ursa! Ursa!” Considering he didn’t saw where he was running, he ran straight into Applejack.

Applejack, who wasn’t affect at all by Russel running into her, lifted him up by his shirt. “Ursa, where is it?” She asked him.

Russel pointed where they came from. “Back there! It’s got Cardin.”

Then Ebony walk over to him. “And you just left him? what kind of team mates does that?” She asked Russel with some anger in her voice.

“It’s a Grimm.”

“And you’re supposed to be training to be huntsmen, a huntsmen isn’t supposed to run away.”

Before Russel could say anything, Blaze step in. “We can argue later, right now Cardin needs help.” He look at his team mates. “Go and get Glynda while the rest of us while help Jaune and Cardin.” They nodded and ran.

Then Pyrrha spoke to Ren and Nora. “You two, go with them! There could be more.” Both of them nodded and ran after them while Blaze and the others ran in the direction of where Cardin’s team came from.

When they arrived, they saw a Grimm that was ready to attack Cardin, as the Grimm attack Jaune was there with his shield protecting Cardin. Everyone was a little shock when they saw that Jaune protect Cardin, especially Cardin. None of them thought that Jaune would protect the bully that had torment him since school started.

Jaune started to struggle when the Grimm started to put pressure on him, Weiss and Dash was about to help him but Pyrrha stop them. “Wait.” They watch as Jaune push back the Grimm and then he swung his sword hurting the Ursa, the Grimm staggered back a little but then it went on the offensive, attacking with its claws. Jaune rolled out of the way and then he jump when the Ursa attack again, the Grimm attack a third time and this time the attack hit sending Jaune flying a few meters. Jaune got up pretty fast and attack again, he jump towards the Grimm and tried to hit it with his sword but the Ursa just step aside and hit him the back.

Jaune rolled on the ground a few times, as he got up he saw that his aura was getting low, he had to finished it. Jaune charge the Ursa and it charge Jaune, both attack each other, and Blaze saw that the Ursa was about to hit Jaune before he did. He was about to act when he saw Pyrrha’s hand started to glow, then Jaune’s shield also started to glow and it moved to intercept Ursa’s claw. Jaune managed to block the attack and cut it’s head off, the Ursa felt on the ground dead.

Blaze look over to Pyrrha. “What did you just do?” He asked her.

“Everyone has their semblance, mine is polarity.”

Ruby was amazed by that. “Ah, you can control poles.” Almost everyone slap a hand on their faces when they heard that.

“No, you dunce! It means she has control over magnetism.” Weiss explained to her.

“Magnets are cool, too.”

Then Pyrrha started to walk. “Wait, where are you going?” Weiss asked her.

“Yeah, we gotta tell them what happened.” Said Ruby.

“We could.” They all look over to Jaune, who put away his sword. “Or, perhaps, we could just keep it our little secret.” Pyrrha walk back.

“But…” Ruby wanted to ay something, but Ebony cut it her off. “Just forge it Ruby, let’s just keep it between us.” She followed after Pyrrha so did the rest.

Blaze stood there while Jaune offered a hand to Cardin. “I hate secrets.” He then walk after the others.

Later that night, Blaze decided to take a walk to a certain room. When he got there, he knock on the door and waited. When the door open, Cardin was there.

“What do you want Faunus?” Cardin asked in a tired voice.

Before Cardin could react, Blaze grabbed him by the shirt, dragged him out into the hallway and pinned him to the wall. “Now you are going to listen to me because I’m going to say this only once, from now on you are going to stop bulling everyone you have ever bullied since we started here. I can tolerate a loot of things in life but one thing I don’t tolerate his bullies, unless you want me to drop you off the school roof top, you and your team are going to stop bulling. Do I make myself clear?” He asked in a threatening tone.

Cardin was terrified right now. “I get it, I will stop so will my team.” Blaze couldn’t help but raised an eye brown in how easy that was. “Jaune told me the same ting after he killed the Ursa, he didn’t say it as threatening as you did but I respect hum and I will stop.”

Blaze couldn’t help but smile. “Good, and don’t you forget it.” He dropped Cardin on the floor and walk back to his own room while Cardin just sat there, terrified.

Training

Another two weeks as past since the event in forest and true to his word, Cardin and his team has stop harassing Jaune and the Faunus. Other than that, nothing ells had happened expect one thing; no other student want to fight Blaze anymore and he has himself to blame. After the fight with Pyrrha and Yang, no other student want to fight him thanks to his speed, and he don’t blame them.

At the moment, Blaze and his team was in the court yard doing some practices fighting without weapon. Opal had suggested that they need hand to hand combat training when/if they lose their weapon, she also said that Blaze wasn’t allowed to use his speed.

At first, Blaze thought that the training was going to be straightforward. Thought, as he started to fight Opal, he was caught off guard by her fighting style. The panda Faunus did not just use her arms to block and parry his attacks, but also used her legs to try and throw him off balance with kicks. It was a fighting style that caught him by surprise as he was only able to get a few hits in before Opal caught one of his punches and countered with a strike of her palm right in the face.

“You alright there?” She asked him as Blaze straightened himself back up. “Need some help?”

“Hardly.” He retorted before getting back into a fighting stance. As Opal began to attack, Blaze himself decided to try a strategy that was similar to what Opal was doing. Stay defensive and wait for an opportunity to present itself. That opportunity came when Opal tried to sweep him from under his feet with a low kick. At the right time, he somersaulted over her leg, before striking her exposed backside and knocking her down to the ground.

Yet, as Opal got up, all she had was a smirk on her face. “Not bad.” the Faunus told him, before looking to the side where her teammates were. “Do someone else want to give it a go? I rather not have all the fun here.”

“How about Luna and I go next?” Blake suggested. “Let Blaze take a small break.”

Luna herself, upon hearing that, looked a bit nervous. Almost as if she were being called on the spot. “A-are you sure? I… don’t think I’m ready…”

“Luna, we’re just practicing among ourselves, you don’t have anything to worry about.” Opal tried to encourage her teammate, before she looked at the leader of their team. “Hey, are you alright with letting them practice for a bit?”

“I’m fine with it.” Blaze told her. “Why ask me thought?”

“Because you’re the leader of our team.” Opal told him. “It would be rude for me to try and make decisions that you wouldn’t agree to, don’t you think?”

Blaze himself just let out a small sigh in response as he looked back towards the panda faunus. “Fair point… Go an ahead.”

All Luna did was just nervously ned her head before she and Blake met in the center of the courtyard. After Blake raised up her hands and took up a fighting stance, the rest of her teammates watch as Luna attempted to do the same. Thought, when they started to fight one another, Blaze and Opal began to notice something. Whenever Luna tried to attack Blake, she was always overextending and sometimes lost her balance whenever she missed. Which was the complete opposite of Blake, who was balanced and on her feet.

They continued to watch for a couple more minutes as Luna found it difficult to keep up against her opponent. Thought, at one point, Blaze had seen enough and decided to intervene. “Alright, can you two stop for a moment?”

Luna was quick to turn towards Blaze, letting out an exhausted breath as she looked back at the leader of their team. “I-is something wrong?”

“Luna, I need to ask you something.” He told her. “Do you know hand to hand combat?”

She looked away nervously at first, but after a couple of moments, responded to his question. “N.no… I was never thought how to fight like that.”

That definitely sounded like a bit of a problem, but it was one that could easily be fixed. “Why don’t we take a moment to teach you a few things first?”

“A-are you sure? Luna asked. “T-his was supposed to be training-“

“Part of training is learning new things to add to what you already know.” Blake then commented. “I don’t see a reason not to.”

“U-um… o-okay…” Luna replied as Blaze saw a look uncertainty on her face. Ig he had to guess, she was probably unsure about how well she would perform when it comes to learning something new. Especially since she was used to fighting with her sword.

“Let me train with her Blake.” When Luna heard that, her face became pale. “Don’t worry, I going to take it easy on you.” She became a little more relax after but still very nervous.

Blake walk over to Opal while Blake walk to Luna. “Do you think that Luna will be ok?” She asked her team mate.

Opal crossed her arms. “I’m not sure, Blaze is a good fighter, but I think that he just want to test her, see what she knows.” Blake hope that she was right about that.

Luna was very nervous right now, right in front her was a faunus that was older, taller and stronger than her and they were about to fight, at least that’s what she thinks, and boy was she surprised of what Blaze did next, he held up his hands as she could hit them.

“Alright, throw a punch.” Luna wasn’t sure what do right now. “What are you waiting for? Just hit my hands as hard as you can.” Luna decided to it, she made a fist with both hands and then she struck his right hand with her left, he could barely feel it. “What was that? Put some force into it.” She did and like last time, he could barley feel it. “What’s the matter with you? Can you fight at all?”

Luna started to cry. “NO. I can’t fight with my hands, I was never taught how to do it.” She back away a little. “This was a mistake, I should never had left Menagerie.” She then ran back to Beacon crying.

Blaze then heard clapping behind him, he turned around and it was Opal. “Nice work, you managed to scare her away. I thought you were going easy on her.”

“I was but I don’t think it’s all my fault.” He look to where Luna ran. “I think something happened in her past.”

That worried Opal and Blake. “Maybe we should talk to her.” Opal was about run after her, but Blaze placed a hand on her shoulder stopping in her track.

“Leet her calm down first then we can talk to her.”

Opal was to say something, but he was right, Luna needed to calm down. They decided to go back to the training but then team Excalibur walk towards them.

Author's Note

Yes, t's a short chapter.

I would like to thank FrostTheWolf, he help me with this chapter.

The Monkey

“Would you stop blaming me Opal, it’s not my fault that Luna ran off crying.”

“Maybe not, but your part of it.”

After Luna had run back to Beacon, team Excalibur had invited Blaze, Blake and Opal to Vale but there one problem, Blaze and Opal have been arguing ever since they entered the Bullhead that was taking them to Vale.

“I’m part of it? You’re the one who suggested hand to hand training in the first place.” He said while crossing his arms. “I say your to blame more than me.”

Opal was right in his face. “Don’t you dear blame me for this, you’re the one who want to see what she knew.” Then they started to argue again.

While Blaze and Opal was arguing, Blake was standing by Ebony and her team. “Why are they fighting?” Ebony asked Blake.

“After class, Opal suggested that we should do some hand to hand training, Blaze and Opal started first, then I suggested me and Luna should training together, while we did Blaze noticed that Luna wasn’t that good at it. He then wanted to find out what she could, then she ran away crying.” She told Ebony while looking at her arguing teammates. “They might blame each other but they should blame me, I’m the one who suggested that we should spare together.” Blake told Ebony with guilt in her voice.

“I don’t know what happened but watching those two is like me and Weiss arguing, which is fun, but it can be tedious.” Said Ebony while looking at her fellow team mate.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“Because you’re the one who always have to start an argument.” Weiss tried to say something, but Ebony started to walk towards the two arguing Faunus. “Would you two stop arguing?” Both of them shut up and look at Ebony. “Thank you. Now, I don’t know what happened between you two and Luna but arguing is not the answer, you have to talk to Luna when you get back as at Beacon. What you two are doing here dosen’t help anyone, so stop arguing and admit it’s both your fault.” Ebony was now breathing heavily as she walk back to the other. “I blame you for this Ruby.” She said while looking at her.

That made the young huntress eyes to widen “Me? What did I do?”

“You’re the one who suggested we invited them.” Ruby wanted to say it wasn’t her fault, but the Bullhead was landing, once they got off the ship they headed towards the center of Vale.

As the walk, the three members of BBLO was walking a little further back. then Blake decided to speak. “Hey guys.” Blaze and Opal look over to their friend. “I’m sorry.” That just confused them both.

“What are you sorry for?” Blaze asked her.

“For what happened to Luna, if I hadn’t suggested that we should spare, and I guess that made her run of crying.”

Blaze and Opal look at each other, not sure how to respond to what Blake said. They knew both that it’s was there fault that Luna ran of crying, but they just didn’t want to admit it.

Blaze decided to say something. “Maybe we are all to blame, Opal who suggested the training session, you Blake who suggested that you two should fight each other and me who pushed Luna to far.”

Then Opal’s head fell. “Your right Blaze, we are all to blame.” She look at her leader with guilt. “I’m sorry that I yelled at you before.”

“Apologize accepted Opal and I’m sorry that I yelled at you too.” She accepted his apologize. “Let’s talk to Luna once we get back, she must have calmed down by then.” Blake and Opal agreed on that. “Now,” Blaze then look at the panda Faunus. “when are you going to tell her?”

Opal was now confused. “Tell who what?”

“Weiss.” Opal was now blushing. “You have been staring at her for the last two weeks and you haven’t asked her out yet, why?”

Right now, Opal had trouble finding the right words. She open her mouth a few times, but nothing came out, she eventually managed to speak. “Even I had the courage to ask her out, she would probably say no, I’m a Faunus and she is a Schnee.”

“So, what.” Opal look over to her leader. “I don’t think that matter at all. Sure, she was offended when she saw that you were actually a Faunus, but you are both… I was going to say that your both humans but that would be wrong.” Blaze rubbed his forehead. “What I am trying to say is, you shouldn’t let how you look get in the way of your happiness.” Opal didn’t like to admit but he was right.

Blake leaned towards her leader. “It sounds like you have experiences when comes to this stuff.”

Blaze just shrugged his shoulder. “I’m no expert when it comes to love but I have dealt with it once or twice.”

Once they entered Vale, while they could see banners hanging between houses welcoming people to Vale. It was because the Vytal festival was coming.

“The Vytal festival oh, this is absolutely wonderful.” Said Weiss while looking up at a banner.

“If you mean by Huntsmen fighting each other in an arena, then it’s wonderful.” Said Blaze with a scowl on his face.

Weiss turned around to face him. “Do you know why we even celebrate the Vytal festival?” She asked the leader of BBLO.

“It’s way to demonstrate peace between all four kingdoms for a war that ended forty years ago, I paid attention in class. What I don’t understand is why huntsmen have to fight each other, we are supposed to fight the Grimm not each other.”

As much was they didn’t want admit it, Blaze had a point. They were supposed to fight the Grimm not each other.

“We fight each other to remind to always strive for excellence and never mediocrity.” Weiss told him.

“Whatever, I think it’s pointless.” He keep on walking and the other followed him.

Weiss just stood there, she wasn’t happy of what he said. “Why did we invited them again?” She asked Ebony as she walk by her.

“It’s was Ruby's idea, remember? She insisted that they should come.” After that, she followed the others. Weiss just stood there a few moments before walking after them.

Then they reached their destination, which was the docks.

“Remind me again why we’re spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks.” Yang asked everyone.

Ruby had to pinched her nose. “Oh, it smell like fish.”

Weiss. “I’ve heard that students from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today and as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom.”

“Really?” Blaze leaned on the railing. “They are arriving just a few months before vacations? That sounds pointless.”

“Do you have to always find something negative about this?” Weiss asked Blaze with some anger in her voice.

“Only thing that doesn’t make sense to me.”

Then Yang spoke up. “He does have a point, it’s a little pointless to come to Beacon just a few months before we go on vacation.

“See, blondie agrees with me.” Yang just rolled her eyes of the blondie part.

Weiss look at her team mate with a scowl. “Who side are you on Yang?”

“I’m on no one side, I’m just saying that Blaze have a point and beside, why do you care about some students from Vacuo?”

“She is probably here to spy on them, so she have an upper hand on them in the tournament.” Said Blake.

“Then why not ask our leader who is from Vacuo.”

They all look at Ebony who had a bored look on her face. “What?”

“Well, do you have some information on them?” Yang ask her.

“Information on who? Teams from Vacuo?” Yang nodded. “Do you really expect me give up information about the student from Vacuo?”

Yang rubbed her neck. “Yes?”

Ebony just rolled her eyes. “I might have switch schools but that dosen’t mean I’m going to betray Vacuo so forget it.”

They couldn’t blame her, they wouldn’t give up information about themselves to other schools.

Then Ruby notice a shop that had been robbed. “Whoa.”

They all looked in the direction of the store, there was police tap and police officer there and it look like it had been vandalized. They walk over to the store.

“What happened here?” Ruby asked one of the police officers.

“Robbery, second dust shop to be hit this week this place is turning into a jungle.” Said the officer as he went back to work.

“Remind you off something Ruby?” Blaze asked her.

Ruby nodded. “Yeah, we meet for the first time at a dust shop.”

Then the other police officer spoke. “They left all the money again.”

Then the first one other spoke. “Yeah, it just dosen’t make a lick of sense who needs that much dust?

“I don’t know. Maybe an army.”

“You think the uh, White Fang?”

“Yeah, I’m thinking we don’t get paid enough.”

That made Weiss to cross her arms. “Hmph. The White fang. What an awful bunch of degenerate “

“What’s your problem?” Said Blake.

Weiss turn to face Blake. “My problem? I simply don’t care for the criminally insane.”

Those words made Opal to look down with her ears down, Blaze was the only one that notice it.

Blake. “The White fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They’re a collection of misguided Faunus.”

Weiss. “Misguided? They want to wipe humanity off the face of the planet.”

“So, then they’re ‘very’ misguided. Either way, it dosen’t explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale.”

“Hmm. Blake’s got a point. Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy me and Blaze ran into a few months ago… Maybe it was him.” Both of them had a point.

Weiss. “That still doesn’t change the fact that the White fang are a bunch of scum. Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal.”

Blaze didn’t like that. “Excuse me?” Weiss actually froze on the spot. “Did you just insult me and two other of my team?” He started to walk towards Weiss who back away a little.

“No, I didn’t mean…”

They were now face to face. “Just because the White fang are stealing from humans, dosen’t mean that every Faunus are bad. What about me? Opal, Luna, Applejack, Dash and Rarity? Are we scum? Have we been stelling since we came to Beacon?” Weiss shook her head. “Don’t judge every Faunus just because of the White Fang.” Weiss didn’t want to admit but he had a point, they hadn’t done anything wrong and they had been nice to her, maybe not Blaze.

Then someone shouted. “Hey, stop that Faunus.” All seven ran towards the docks. They saw a man with blond hair and a tail jump of ship, he was wearing a white shirt that was open, one could see his upper body. He had a pair of blue pants and some red writs protectors on his hands.

”You no good stow away.” Said a man as the blond Faunus ran over to a lamppost and then he hung upside down with his tail, then he started to eat a banana.

“Hey, a ‘no good’ stow away would have been caught. I’m a great stow away.” The Faunus said while still hanging on the lamppost.

Then one of the detectives threw a rock at the Faunus, which missed. “Hey, get down from there this instant.” Said one of them.

The Faunus then threw the banana peel at the detective, he then jump up at the lamppost. He then started to laugh as he then took a backflip over the two detectives, the Faunus ran up the stars to the piers. Then he ran towards the seven huntsmen and as he ran past them, he winked at Blake. He then ran down the street with the two detectives right behind him.

“Did that guy just wink at you Blake?” Blaze asked his team mate, she didn’t answer considering she was blushing a little.

Then Yang spoke up. “Well Weiss, you wanted to see the competition and there he goes.”

“Quick! We have to observe him.” Weiss then look at Blaze. “What are you waiting for?”

“And I am doing what exactly?”

She pointed at his back. “Use your wings, fly after him.”

Blaze shook his head. “Hell no, I am not going to get involved in this, if you want spy on him then do it yourself.” Weiss just huffed and ran after him, so did the rest of her team, even Ebony.

Opal then spoke. “Shouldn’t we go after them?” She asked her teammates.

“I am not going to get involved in this but hey, if you want to run after them then go ahead, I’m not going to stop you two.” Blaze told her while crossing his arms and closing his eyes.

“Really? Not after he wink at Blake?”

Blaze open his eyes. “That’s right, he did wink at her.” Before the girls could react, Blaze took of faster than they could react.

Blake gave Opal an angry look. “Thanks a lot Opal, now I have to run after him, so Blaze doesn’t kill him.” Then she ran after them, Opal was right behind her.

Penny

Blaze soar over Vale looking for the monkey Faunus, he wanted to have a ‘talk’ with him why he winked at Blake. He saw the Faunus and the detectives running around a corner almost knocking on the ground, a girl with orange hair. Blaze wanted to follow them but then he saw Weiss running towards the girl he wanted to see what happened. He saw Weiss run into the girl and they both fell down, Blaze thought it was a little funny, that Weiss fell to the ground, not the other girl. It didn’t look like it bother her at all, which Blaze thought was a little weird. Then the rest of the girls arrived.

“No! He got away!” Said Weiss while on top of the girl.

Yang. “Uuuhh, Weiss....?” Weiss look at her team mate who pointed at the girl Weiss lying on.

Weiss look at the girl and got up. “Euh!”

The girl then waved at the girls. “Salutations!” Said the girl as the laid there. Blaze, who was still hovering over them couldn’t help but question how strange this girl was.

Then Ruby spoke. “Um… hello.”

“Are you… okay?” Yang asked the girl.

“I’m wonderful. Thank you for asking.” The girl said with a smile.

The girl just laid there which confused them all. “Do you… wanna get up?” Yang asked her.

The girl was silence for a few seconds. “Yes.” She then placed her hands on the ground, and she flip up landing on her feet, that made the girls back up a little. “My name is Penny. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” The girl told them.

“Hi Penny. I’m Ruby.”

“I’m Weiss.”

“Hello, I’m Opal.”

“Blake.”

Ebony didn’t say anything, she just crossed her arms looking at Penny with narrow eyes, there was something that was wrong with her.

Then Yang spoke up. “Are you sure you didn’t hit your head?” Weiss elbow her after that. “Oh, I’m Yang.” She said with a straight back.

“I’m also curious if you hit your head.” Said Blaze which made Penny look around.

“Where did that voice come from?” She asked the girls.

Blaze just rolled his eyes. “Look up.”

Penny did that and she was surprised to see Blaze hovering in the air. “How are you doing that?” She asked the Faunus.

“With my wings?” He decided to land on the ground. “How ells could I fly.”

“You have a point.” She then saw Blaze ears and tail. “Wait, you have three animal part? How is that possible?”

Blaze just shrugged his shoulder. “Don’t know, I just have them.”

Penny nodded. “Right, might I asked for your name?”

“No.”

Opal couldn’t help but rolled her eyes of what her team leader said. “His name is Blaze and this grumpy girl here is Ebony.” She said while nodding her head towards the girl from Vacuo.

Ebony raised an eye brown. “Why did you give my name to her?” She asked the panda Faunus.

“Because you didn’t give her yours and that’s not very nice.”

“That’s because there something fishy about her and I don’t trust her.” She whispered to Opal.

Then Penny spoke. “It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

“You already said that.” Weiss reminded her.

“So, I did!” Said Penny. It was official, Blaze thought that this girl isn't normal.

Weiss decided to apologize to Penny. “Well, sorry for running into you.”

Then seven Beacon student decided to head back, Blaze eye Penny as he walk past her. “Take care, friend.” Said Ruby as she followed her friends.

After some walking Weiss decided to talk. “She was… weird.”

“I hate to admit it, but the princess has a point, that girl was weird.” Weiss gave her team leader an angry look after she said that, which Ebony just ignored.

Weiss just shook her head. “Now. Where did that faunus riffraff run off to.”

Then all off sudden Penny was standing in their way. “What did you call me?”

Then Weiss just pointed at Yang and the rest of the group. “Oh, I’m really sorry, definitely didn’t think you heard me.” Said Yang with some nervosity in her voice.

“No, not you…” Said Penny as she walk past them al stop in front of Ruby. “You.”

“Me!? I don’t know, I- what I- um, uh.” Ruby was very nervous right now, considering Penny was right on front of her.

“You called me ‘friend’. Am I really your friend?”

Ruby was very nervous right now. “Uummm…” She look over to the team mates for advise who just made signed with their body which said no.

Blaze and his team just watch the whole thing. “This should be interesting.”

Ruby then look back at Penny. “Ya, sure! Why not?” Weiss and Yang actually fell on the ground while Ebony just placed a hand on her face and shook her head.

For some reason Penny was very happy when Ruby said that. “Ahaha! Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try out clothes, and talk about cute boys!”

Blaze look over to his team mates. “Do you two and Luna do that stuff when I am not around?” He asked them.

“Pretty much.” Opal said with a shrug.

Ruby then leaned over to Weiss. “Ooh, is this what it was like when you met me?” She asked her.

“No, she is seems ‘far’ more coordinated.” Said Weiss while dusting of her dress.

Then Yang decided to ask a question to Penny. “So, what are you doing in Vale?”

“I’m here to fight in the tournament.” Penny said with a cheer in her voice.

Weiss a little surprised when heard that. “Wait… you’re fighting in the tournament?”

Penny then saluted. “I’m combat ready.”

Opal leaned towards her team leader. “What a weird girl.” She whispered to him.

Blaze crossed his arms. “I’m starting to thing she is not a normal girl.”

Opal was intrigued of what he said. “What do you mean?”

“I’m not sure yet but there something weird about her.” Opal just nodded, maybe they would find out in the tournament.

“Forgive me, but you hardly look the part.” Said Weiss.

“Says the girl wearing a dress.” Blake remined Weiss.

Weiss was offended by what Blake said. “It’s a ‘combat skirt’. She said while crossing her arms.

Then Ruby appeared beside Weiss. “Yeah.” Then they gave each other a ‘high five’ and Ebony was just shocked to see Ruby and Weiss agree on something.

“Wait a minute.” Weiss walk over to Penny and grabbed her by the shoulders. “If you’re here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey tailed… rapscallion?”

Penny was just confused. “The who?”

Weiss then hold up a weird picture. “The filthy faunus from the boat.”

“Give it a rest Weiss, this girl doesn’t know Sun.” Everyone look at Ebony when she said that. “Crap, I wasn’t supposed to say that.” She said while slapping a hand in her face.

Weiss let go off Penny walk over to her team leader. “You know that monkey faunus?” She asked her leader.

Ebony let out a sighed. “I don’t know him, but I know he’s from Vacuo that decided to go Haven academy and that’s all I know.”

“That’s is? That’s all you know off that filthy faunus.”

Blaze had about enough that Weiss call that sun character a filthy faunus, he was about to let her have it, but Blake beat him to it.

“Why do you keep saying that.”

Weiss look at Blake with confusion. “Huh?”

“Stop calling him a rapscallion. Stop calling him a degenerate. He’s a person!”

“Oh, I’m sorry. Would you like me to stop referring to the trashcan as a trashcan, or this lamppost as a lamppost?” She said while pointing at the different stuff.

“Weiss…” Ebony warned her, but she didn’t listen.

Blake wasn’t happy. “Stop it!”

“Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time, he’ll probably join up with those other faunus in the White Fang.”

Blake then clench a fist. “You ignorant little brat.” Blake then turned around and started to walk.

Weiss then look over to Blaze. “Are you going to let her talk to me like that?” Blaze said nothing he just watch as Blake left, feeling bad for her. Blaze could have step in a stop it all but that would probably have made it worse. Weiss just huffed and walk after Blake, then they started to argue again.

“I think it’s time to go.” Said Ebony as she walk after them, the others agree with her and followed her.

“Where are we going?” Penny asked them.

“We are going back to Beacon and you can go back to wherever you came from.” Blaze told her.

Penny jump a little. “Oh, right.” She then happened to look to her left. “Oh no.” She placed both hands over her mouth.

Blaze look in the direction where she was looking and saw a girl with hair that look like ice?

Eira had just rounded a corner. “I swear, if I find that…” She stop talking because she found the one she was looking for. “PENNY.” Then Penny started to run in the opposite direction of Eira. “GET BACK HERE.” Eira ran after her, she ran past Blaze and Opal so fast they had trouble seeing her.

“Holly crap, she was fast.” Said Blaze as they look in the direction of where they had ran off to.

“Yeah, but who was she?” Opal asked a good question.

After Blaze and Opal had managed to catch up with the rest, they could see that Weiss and Blake was still arguing. They argued all the way back to Beacon and the still agued when they arrived at the courtyard and at that moment, everyone was just sick off it.

Weiss. “I don’t understand why this is causing such a problem.”

“That ‘is’ the problem.”

Then Weiss stop and faced Blake. “You realize you’re defending an organization that hates humanity, don’t you?”

“Not everyone hates humans.” Opal mumble to herself.

“The faunus of the White Fang are pure evil.”

Blake took a step closer to Weiss. “There’s no such thing as ‘pure evil’! Why do you think they hate humanity so much? It’s because of people like Cardin, people like ‘you’ that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!”

“People like me??”

“You’re discriminatory.”

“I’m a victim!” Weiss closed her eyes and let out a heavy sighed. “You want to know ’why’ I despised the White Fang? Why I don’t particularly trust the faunus? It’s because they’ve been at war with my family for years. War. As in actual bloodshed.”

That shock everyone there, they never imaged that it was actually bloodshed. Even Ebony and Blaze who usually have a cool attitude couldn’t help but feel sorry for Weiss. Then Blaze noticed that Opal was not feeling well, it was like she had a burden on her shoulders.

Then Weiss counited. “My grandfather’s company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I’ve watched family friends disappear, board members executed, an entire train car full of Dust… stolen. And every day, my father would come home furious, and that made for a very difficult childhood.” She then look Blake in the eyes. “You want to know why I despise the White Fang?! It’s because they’re a bunch of liars!” She took a step closer to Blake. “Thieves!” Another step until they were face to face. “And murders!”

Then Blake snap. “Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!!” it took a few seconds before Blake realized what she just said, she just told them she was a faunus and member of the White Fang. “I..” She took a few steps back before she before she disappeared into the night.

Blaze couldn’t help but rub a hand on his face. “Well, that happened.”

The first one to say something was Ruby. “Wait, Blake is a faunus? She was a faunus all along?”

“Yes Ruby, Blake is a faunus.” Blaze told her.

Then Weiss spoke up. “You knew, you knew, and you didn’t tell us.”

“Yes, Weiss we knew and the reason we didn’t tell anyone is because Blake ask us not to.”

Weiss then walk over to Blaze. “You should have told us so we could have contacted the police.”

That made Blaze look at her with fury in his eyes. “Excuse me? Contact the police.” Weiss was a little afraid right now. “You can’t blame Blake for everything the White Fang have done and beside, you can’t blame every faunus for what they have done.” Weiss wanted to protest but Blaze didn’t let her. “Did you forget everything I said earlier today?”

“Of course not, I just don’t like the faunus that is from the White Fang.”

“It didn’t sound like that a minute ago, it sound like you hate every fanuns. What about Velvet, Rarity and Applejack? Do you hate them just because they are a fanuns.” Weiss tried to find the words, but nothing came to mind. “I thought so, like I said before; don’t judge every faunus because of the White Fang. Blake might have been in the WF, but I know for a fact that she regret everything she had ever done for them. I know that doesn’t make up for everything they have done just don’t judge her before you get to know her.” That made Weiss look down in shame. “And another thing.” She look up at him. “If you report her to the police then you and I are going to have a problem, got it?” Weiss nodded her head. “Good, come on Opal, we let’s head back.” He started to walk back to Beacon.

“Head back? what about Blake?”

Blaze stop. “You know as well as I do that Blake just need some time alone and beside, she can take care of herself. We still have to talk to Luna, we can look for Blake tomorrow. I’m also too tired to look for her now.” Blaze told Opal.

Opal didn’t want to admit it, but Blaze had a point. Blake could take care of herself and she was also tired, they headed back to their room leaving team Excalibur alone.

None of them spoke, none of them didn’t know what to say. Then Ebony decided to say something. “Well, I hope your happy Weiss. You may have broken up team Blackout.”

Weiss was shocked when she heard that. “Me? How is this my fault? Blake is the one who is with the White Fang.”

Ebony just gave her blank stare. “And?”

“What do you mean 'and'? Don’t you care that she is with the White Fang?”

“No, I don’t. She isn’t in a WF anymore and I don’t care, if you just look past that she is a faunus you will see that she is a good person.” Ebony started to walk towards the school but stop when she was by Weiss. “Also, if you report Blake to the police, then Blaze isn’t the only one you have to worried about.” She pattered her shoulder before she walk to the school.

Weiss then look at the sisters. “Don’t tell me you two also take Blake side."

The sister gave each other a look before looking back at Weiss. “Yes, we do. We don’t know what you have gone through Weiss, but you can’t blame it on every faunus, that’s not fair.” Yang told her.

“I agree with my sister.”

With that they both walk to the school leaving Weiss alone. Were they right? is it wrong to blame ever fanuns for what the White fang have done?

Meanwhile.

Penny was walking the street in Vale with a girl with hair that look like snow, she was wearing a pair of pants that are a dark navy, a white short sleeved shirt and a sweater that happens to match the same colour as her hair, she was wearing combat boots, on her wrist was cobalt coloured bracelets with the centre stone resembling a snowflake.

“Mind telling me why you decided to sneak of the ship and explore Vale, Penny?”

“I just wanted to see this place, I have never been here before.”

The other girl let out a sighed. “I understand that you are curious about this place, considering you have never been out of Atlas but that dosen’t give you the right to sneak out. Every time you do I have to go out and find, which get’s me into trouble with Rylee and general Ironwood."

Penny just hung her head in shame, she didn’t mean to get her into trouble. “I’m sorry Eira."

Eira just smiled and patter her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about it, just promise you won’t do it again.”

“I promise.” Then she hiccupped.

Luna's Past

Blaze and Opal was walking through the halls in Beacon to their room, Blaze keep looking at Opal who look like she was going to puke, or something in the area.

Then Blaze placed a hand on her shoulder that made her jump into the air. “Hey, are ok? You look a little green.”

Opal took few breath to calm herself down. “I want to say yes but then I would be lying, and I know you don’t like it when others lie.”

Blaze was little offended by what she said. “I don’t mind when other lies when they have a good reason, I’m just not big fan of lying in general. It’s just, I saw your reaction when Weiss mention the war with the White Fang, just tell me you weren’t involved in that.”

Opal put up her hands in defence. “No, no, that happened way before I joined them, I left because I almost got my father killed.” Opal but both hands over her mouth when she said that while Blaze’s widen. “I wasn’t supposed to say that.”

“You almost got your father killed?” Opal nodded. “How?”

Opal let out a sigh. “If I’m going to tell then I want to do it with the rest of the team, they deserve to hear as much as you.”

Blaze nodded in understanding. “Then we will wait until we find Blake or when she returns.” That made Opal smile. “Now, let’s go and see if Luna is still at Beacon.” They headed to their room.

When they arrived, Blaze used his scroll to unlock the door, he held the door open to Opal so she could walk in. “What a charmer.” She said with tease in her voice as she walk in, Blaze just rolled his eyes of what she said, he then walk in after her.

Once inside, Blaze turned on the lights so they could see better, and they saw Luna sitting on her bed. She was sitting in the corner of her bed, her legs was up against her chest and her arms was rap around them. She was actually shaking a little.

Opal walk over to her. “Luna, are you okay?” She asked her team mate as she sat down in the bed.

“No, not really. I messed up today, just running off like that, you guys must think I’m pretty pathetic.” Luna said as tears came.

The Blaze spoke. “Luna, none of us think that you are pathetic, you just had a bad day and I think something happened in your past that made you run of like that.”

Blaze was right, something happened in her past and talking about it was probably the worst part for Luna. She wanted to tell them but every time she tried to she got cold feet, her words chock in he throat, and her brain was screaming no. She wanted to tell them, but it was just too hard.

Luna felt a hand on her shoulder it was Opal, and she had a warm smile on her. “Listen Luna, if it to difficult to talk about then you don’t have to, it’s up to you.” Blaze just nodded in agreement.

Then Luna let out a heavy sighed. “No, I’ll tell you. The whole thing started before I was born.” Blaze and Opal gave each other a confusion look when they heard that. “Yes, I know it sounds stupide but just let me tell the story. Before I was born my parents decided to take a trip to one off the cities outside Menagerie with my older sister who was four years old, don’t ask me what the city’s name my father never said which one the visit. Anyway, while in this city my sister wonder off from my parents and just disappeared, my parents started to searched for her and thanks that they were former huntsmen, they found her very fast.”

Luna rubbed the side of her head. “Some humans had managed to grabbed her up in the street and was going to sell her as a slave.” Opal placed a hand over her mouth when she heard that while Blaze just thought how disgusting it was. “When my mother saw that, she snapped, killing every human that was part of it all. My father tried to stop her, but she didn’t listen at all, she was too angry to listen to reason.”

She then pulled her legs even closer to her body. “About six months after the incident I was born but my childhood wasn’t that great, my parents got a divorce right after I was born, and my father raised my alone.”

Then Blaze spoke up. “What about your mother? Why didn’t she raise you?” He asked a good question.

“After my sister was kidnapped my mother just focus on her, ignoring me. It turns out I was the cause of my parents breaking up.” She then started to cry. “Maybe I should never have been born.”

Opal gave her a hug. “It’s okay Luna, you don’t have to tell us more.”

Luna sniffed a few times. “No, I want to.” Opal let her continue. “While I was young I had no idea why my parents wasn’t living together, I ask my father many times why, but he just said I have to wait until I was older, I never like that answer. When I was old enough he told me the reason, I hated to think I was the reason for my parents break up.” Then she started to cry again.

Opal decided to talk about something ells. “What about your sister? Did you get to know her at least?”

Luna nodded. “Yes, when I was six years old she managed to find us, and we spend some time together in secret but that all change when out mother found out and my sister joined the White Fang.” Luna got a sombre face. “That was four years ago, and I haven’t seen her since.”

Then Blaze asked the question he shouldn’t have asked. “Luna, what’s your sister name?”

“It’s Celestia.”

When Blaze heard that he almost had a heart attack, it felt like it. He felt pretty stupid he didn’t see that Luna was Celestia’s little sister, he learned about in school back in Equestria. He felt even more stupid that he couldn’t remember if before, but he had other things to think about since he got to Remnant.

Opal notice that their team leader was acting a little weird. “Blaze, are you ok?”

Blaze placed a hand on his face and started to rube it. “Yeah, it’s just been a long day.” Opal didn’t buy it, but she didn’t ask. “Luna,” She look at him. “you haven’t told us why you ran earlier today.”

Luna nodded. “Right, three years ago I started to train to become a huntress and my farther trained me but there was one thing he wasn’t very good at and that was hand to hand combat. Then he one day mention that my mother was good at it, so I decided to find her.” She then look down on the bed. “That was a mistake.” Luna then started to tremble. “She started to yell at, telling that I was a mistake, that I was never meant to be born at all.” Luna then started to cry.

Opal gave the crying faunus a hug. “That’s why you ran, you got flashbacks of your mother yelling at you.”

Luna nodded. “Pretty much. I know it’s dumb reason but…”

Then Blaze cut her off “No, it isn’t.” Both of them look at their leader. “You had a bad experience with your mother and there nothing wrong with that but maybe you should have told us that then I would have been a little nicer to you.”

Luna let out a sigh. “Your right, I should have said something and for that I am sorry.” She then notice something. “By the way, where’s Blake? Why isn’t she here?”

Blaze and Opal gave each other a nervous look. “Something happened while we were in Vale.” “Luna was now curious.

Luna was in shocked when she heard what had happened in Vale. “So, they found out that Blake was a faunus and she ran away.”

Opal nodded. “Pretty much.”

“What do we now?” Luna asked her team mates.

“We wait and see if Blake returns and if she doesn’t, then we go and look for her.” Blaze told them.

Opal and Luna didn’t like the plan, but they agreed.

Yes, I'm back, don't ask.

Every comment about how bad my writing is will be delete, I know it's bad and I don't need to be reminded how bad it is. I don't have anyone to help me, I want to do it myself and I hope you all will respect that.

Hello Blake

It’s been one week since team BBLO and EYWR trip to Vale and the argument between Blake and Weiss, where Blake had revealed that she was a former member of White Fang and a Faunus which made her run into the night, Blake hadn’t come back to Beacon since that event. Blaze told the teachers that Blake had some trouble with her family, and she needed some time for herself, they bought it but not Ozpin. Blake could see that Ozpin knew what was going on, but he didn’t do anything which puzzled Blaze. Why didn’t Ozpin do anything?

At the moment, the three members of BBLO with EYWE and TRRA was currently looking for Blake in the city but not everyone was there on their own free will. Ebony had to threat Weiss to come along for the search, considering the Weiss didn’t see the point in trying to find Blake. I guess a zebra can’t change it stripes.

Blaze was soaring through the air looking for Blake while the other was on the ground.

Ruby and Yang was shouting her name while Ebony was looking around for her, Weiss didn’t care at all.

Then Ruby turned to Weiss. “Weiss, you’re not helping!”

That made her stop. “Oh! You know who might be able to help? The police.” Ruby wasn’t too happy by that as she crossed her arms. “It was just an idea!”

Then Ebony spoke. “We are not turning Blake over to the police Weiss.”

This time Weiss crossed her arms. “And why not? She is a criminal.”

Ebony turned around to face her teammate. “Then maybe we should call humanity criminals, considering how we have how we have treated the Faunus since they appeared in Remnant and your family is no exception.”

Weiss just scowled. “Why are you brining my family into to this, they have been to war with the White fang for years.”

“They are only trying to survive Weiss.” Ebony almost shouted at Weiss, who back away a little. “Let me ask you all something, have anyone of you been on Menagerie?” She asked her team who just shook their heads. “I have and let me tell you there a lot of Faunus crammed into one place so I can understand why the White fang did what they do, I also may understand considering I’m from Vacuo and I had to fight for my life to stay alive. My point is that don’t judge every Faunus because of the White Fang or did you forget what Blaze told you a week ago.” Weiss was about to protest but Ebony didn’t let her. “You know what? Just forget it, you won’t listen, and I’m done trying to explain it to you. If you want to hate Blake then do it, I don’t care.” Ebony then turned around and started to walk, she was going to find Blake, no matter what.

Weiss didn’t want to admit but Ebony was right, she has blamed every Faunus for what they did to her family and not every Faunus is in the White Fang. Three members of team Tornado wasn’t a member of them, that she knew. Blaze wasn’t a member, Luna wasn’t, she didn’t know about Opal, but she actually hope that she wasn’t a member, anymore. Then it was Blake, she had hidden that she was a Faunus because she was probably afraid what others would think about her. Blake wasn’t a part of White Fang anymore because she stop believing in them, that’s what Weiss thinks anyway. It was decided, Weiss was going to find Blake and apologize.

High about the Vale was Blaze flying through the sky in search of Blake, it’s been a week and she still hasn’t come back yet, it was time to find her. ‘Where can she be?’ Blaze thought to himself as he soared over the city. Then all off sudden is scroll started to make a noise, he took it out and saw that it was Opal that was calling, he decided to hover in the air to answer.

“Yes Opal?”

“Have you found Blake yet?” Opal asked her team leader.

“Not yet, this town is pretty big, she could be anywhere.”

Blake heard sighed from Opal. “Okay, just remember to call when you find her.”

“I will.” Blaze hung up and continued to fly.

“Did he find her yet?” Luna asked Opal as she put away her scroll.

Opal shook her head. “Not yet, the only thing we can do is to keep looking.” Luna didn’t want to admit but she was right, they just have to keep searching.

Blaze flew over the city still looking for his teammate. “How hard can it be to find Blake in this city?” He asked himself.

Then all off sudden he notice two familiar figures sitting at café talking, one was male and had blond hair and a tail while the other was female and had long black hair, it was Blake and Sun. Blaze flew towards then and as he got closer, he could hear that they were talking about the White Fang.

Blaze decided to hover over them so he could listen. “Of course! I don’t think there’s a Faunus on the planet who hasn’t heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks if you ask me.” Said Sun.

Blake took a sip from her cup. “I was… once a member of the White Fang.”

That made Sun choke on whatever he was drink, Blaze thought it was a little funny. “Wait a minute, ‘you’ were a member of White Fang?” Sun sounded surprised and Blaze couldn’t blame him, but he didn’t really care that Blake was a former member, that was in the past.

Then Blake spoke. “That’s right. I was a member for most of my life actually. You could almost say that I was born into it. Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between humans and the Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate.” Blaze couldn’t help but feel sick when heard that. “Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott.” Blaze tried to imaged Blake protest again all that, he couldn’t

Then Blake counited. “And I actually though we were making a difference… but I was just a youthful optimist… Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place.” Blaze wonder who that was. “A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us.” That sounded a little extreme, thought Blaze. “Hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labour. And the worst part? It was working. We were being treated like equals.” Not for the right way. “But not out of respect… out of fear.” Blaze was horrified.

Blake placed her cup down. “So, I left. I decided no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence. And instead, I would dedicate my life to become a huntress. So here I am, a criminal hiding in plain view.” Blaze couldn’t help but feel bad for Blake. “All of help of a little black bow.” She then wiggled her cat ears.

“So, have you told your friends any of this?”

Blake closed her eyes and before she could answer. “That she did.” Blaze then landed beside their table. “But it didn’t go so well.”

Blake was in utter shock, she didn’t know that Blaze was there. “Blaze, how much did you hear?” She asked her leader.”

“Only the part that you have been ‘born’ into the White fang.” He then crossed his arms and gave Blake a disappointing look. “Now, I want to know where you have been for last seven days and why you decide to tell this monkey about your past with the White fang and not your team. Also, have you any idea how worried we have been?”

Blake look down in the table in shame. “I’m sorry Blaze, it all happened so fast, and I was just so embarrassed that I ran.”

“I get that you were embarrassed but running away is not the answer, you have to face your fear not run away.”

The Sun spoke up. “Hey, give her a break. She had a rough week.”

Blaze point a finger at him. “Stay out of this, this doesn’t concern you.” He snap at Sun

“Blaze, don’t be like that, he help me these few days.”

That made Blaze throw his hand up in frustration. “Unbelievably, you trust a Faunus you have just meet more than your own teammates.” He then started to walk. “Do what you want Blake, I really don’t care anymore.”

Blake got up and grabbed his shoulder. “Wait Blaze, if you really want to know why I didn’t come to you is because I’m trying to find out what the White fang is doing.”

That got Blaze interest. “What do you mean?” He asked her.

“I think the White fang might robe a shipment of dust today, but I don’t know where or when.”

Then Sun spoke. “I might know.”

Blaze and Blake look at him. “What do you know?” Blake asked him.

“While I was on the ship, I heard some guys talking about an offloading hug shipment of dust coming from Atlas.” Sun told them.

“Just how hug are we talking about?” Blake asked him.

“Hug, big Schnee company frater.”

Blaze gave a blank look. “That doesn’t tell us much.” Sun just shrugged his shoulder. “And where is this shipment arriving?”

“Down by the docks later tonight.”

Blake look at her leader. “We have to stop them.”

Blaze couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “There’s a ‘we’ now? A week ago you ran away and let him help you, not your own team and now you want my help.” Blake just look down in shame. “Give me one reason why I should help you?”

“If you really care about me,” She look up at him with tears in her eyes. “you would help me.”

Blaze felt like an asshole right about now, he wanted to be so mad at her, but she was right, he cared about her and the right thing was to help her, that was his mother told him.

Blaze let out a frustrating groan. “Damn it, what about Opal and Luna, are we going to get their help?”

Blake thought that more help could be helpful, but she knew that Opal had a past with the White fang and Luna was that good when it came to fighting, they would probably get in the way.

“No, it’s had to me you and Sun.”

Blaze wasn’t sure he heard right. “You want him to come?” He said while looking at Sun who had an innocent smile. “You are going to trust a Faunus you have know for a week over your own teammates who have known for three weeks?”

Blake cruller her fingers together. “Please Blaze.”

Blaze placed both hands on his face to cover up his scream. “Fine, but if I do this you have to come back to beacon with me and you have to explain to use why you ran away, got it?”

Blake nodded. “Yes, I will explain it to you all.” She then hug him. “Thanks you Blaze.”

Blaze couldn’t help but think he would regret this.

Rumble at the Docks

Team Tornado was walking through Vale looking for Blake, they had been out for almost the entire day and the sun was setting.

“Man, where can she be? We have been looking for her all day.” Said a tired Dash who was resting on a bench with Rarity in the park.

“I know what you’re saying Dash, my feet are killing me.” Said Rarity while rubbing her feet, her shoes was lying on the bench next to her, it was high heels.

“Of course your feet are hurting, your wearing high heels.” Said Dash.

“A lady are allowed to wear something fancy once in a while.” Dash just rolled her eyes. “At least I dress probably.” That was direct at Dash.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Dash asked Rarity.

“What I mean is your clothes, your pants are blue and yellow, it’s just disgusting.”

Then they started to argue while Applejack and Tyr was just watching them. “Should I stop them?” Tyr asked Applejack.

Applejack just look at friends with a bored look, she was just tired of her friend arguing. “No, it’s almost impossible to stop them when they are like this.” Tyr isn’t sure why he asked.

Then a new voice spoke up. “Excuse me.” Which made Dash and Rarity to stop arguing, the team saw a girl with snowy hair standing not far from them. “Have you four seen a girl with sort orang hair? She is also wearing a grey dress.”

Tyr spoke up. “Can’t say we have, sorry.”

That made the girl place a hand on her face. “Penny, where the hell are you?” She said while groaning. “Anyway, I’m sorry for bothering you all.” She then bowed. “I have to go.” She then started to walk.

Then rarity spoke up. “Wait a minute.” The girl stop to look at Rarity. “You haven’t seen a girl with long black hair with a bow on her head, have you?” Rarity asked the girl.

She had to think for a moment. “Can’t say that I have, I have been looking for Penny all this time. Sorry.”

Rarity face drop. “Okay, sorry for bothering you like that.”

The girl just smiled. “Don’t worry about it.” She then walk off.

While team Tornado continued their search, not far from them was team Excalibur who was also looking for Blake. They were causally walking through the street of Vale.

“Man, where can she be?” Ebony asked no one in particular.

“Beats me.” Said Yang.

“We can’t give up.” Said Ruby.

Weiss on the other hand was actually worried about Blake, she and the other didn’t notice that a girl with orange hair was walking behind them.

"I think that Weiss hair look wonderful today.” That Penny spoke up scared them all.

Ruby was the first one to speak after the shock. “Penny, where did you come from?” She asked her.

Penny waned to them. “Hey guys, what are you up to?” She asked them.

Ruby wasn’t sure what to say to Yang spoke up. “We are looking for our friend Blake.”

Ebony wasn’t too happy for what Yang said. “Why did you say that?” She hissed at Yang.

“Because she asked?” Ebony couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Then Penny spoke. “Oh, you mean the Faunus girl.”

Everyone was shocked that Penny knew that. Ebony on the other hand just wonder how she knew that.

“Wait, how did you know that?” Ruby asked her.

“Huh, the cat ears.” Answered Penny while pointing at her head.

Yang was a little baffled. “What cat ears, she wears a bow…” Right after Yang said that a tumbleweed past them.

‘Where the hell did that come from?’ Ebony thought to herself.

Then Penny spoke up again. “So, where is she?”

“We don’t know, she have been missing for a week.” Ruby told her.

Penny walk up to Ruby and grabbed her. “Oh, that’s terrible. Well, don’t you worry Ruby my friend. I won’t rest until we find your friend.”

“Ah, that really nice of you Penny. But were okay, really. Right girls?” Ruby look over to the rest of her team who had just disappeared. “Traitors.” Ruby mumbled to herself. Then the tumbleweed came back.

“It’s sure is windy today.”

Ruby wanted Penny to help but she wasn’t sure how Blaze would react, he wasn’t such a big fan of her. “Look Penny, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea.”

Penny tilted her head to the side. “What do you mean? Don’t you want my help?”

Ruby started to wave her hands in front of her. “It’s not that we want your help Penny, it’s because…”

“…she isn’t allowed to be alone.”

The new voice startled both of them which was coming from behind Penny who turned around and saw a very angry looking girl who had her arms crossed.

“Hey Eira, I guess you found me.”

The girl know as Eira spoke up. “That I did and I have only one question for you Penny; why do you keep doing this? Why do keep sneak off?”

“That was two questions.”

“PENNY.” Eira snap at her. “I’m getting tired of hunting you down every time you do this. I’m only going to say this one time, let’s back to the ship and then maybe Rylee and Ciel wont yell at me, again.”

Penny started to panic when she heard that. “You can’t take me back, we must find Blake first.”

Eira was just confused. “Blake? Who the hell is Blake?”

“She is Ruby’s friend.” Said Penny while looking at Ruby who just smiled awkward. “And any friends of Ruby is a friend of mine.”

Eira closed her eyes and pinched her nose. “So, she is your friend? THEN WHAT AM I?” She asked Penny a little louder then she meant. “We have known each other for a year and you said that we were friends, was that a lie?” Penny didn’t want to look at Eira at the moment so she just look down on the ground. Eira just let of a sighed. “Just forget it, let’s get back to the ship.”

They were about to go when Ruby then spoke up. “Hey, you can’t take Penny away like that.”

Eira look at Ruby with a raised eyebrow. “Excuse me?” Then she gave Ruby an angry look that made Ruby back away a little. “I’m Penny’s teammate and every time she sneaks away I have to find her, we are heading back so I don’t get kick out of Atlas.”

Then Penny spoke up. “Wait Eira, if you help me find Blake then I promised I won’t sneak of anymore.” She then hiccup.

“Do you take me for a fool? I know every time you lie you hiccup and you just did that.” She then grabbed Penny’s hand. “Now come along.”

Then Penny did something that Eira didn’t expect, she tore herself away from Eira’s grasp. “No, I refuse to come with you, I’m going to find Blake.” She then ran away.

Eira just stood there baffled, Penny had never done that before. “Penny, GET BACK HERE.” She didn’t listen. Eira then look at Ruby with anger in her eyes. “YOU, this is your fault.” She said while pointing a finger at her.

Ruby was very confused right now. “Me? What have I done?”

“You had to say that your Penny’s friend, she is a very naïve girl and she will believe anything she hear. Now I’m going to get in trouble because I have lost her again.”

“I will get her back.”

Before Aira could say anything, Ruby had used her semblance to run after Penny leaving Eira alone with her mouth hanging open. “Damn it.” She yell as she ran after them both.

Night had arrived in Remnant and three Faunus was hiding on a top of a house at the docks, looking after the White fang.

“I still think this is a bad idea.” Said Blaze with some annoyance in his voice.

“We know already, you have said it like ten times since we got her.” Said Sun.

“And I’m going to keep saying it, alright? I have never broken the rulers in my life and now I’m here at the docks way past curfew thanks to my teammate.” Said Blaze while looking at Blake.

“You said would help me.”

“And I’m starting to regret it, nothing has happened since they loaded the containers, I’m starting to think this is a wasted of time.” As soon as those words left Blaze’s mouth, an airship appeared right above their heads almost blowing them away. “Or I could be wrong.”

Then the airship landed in the area where the containers was, then the doors open and someone walk out from the airplane, they were wearing a black dress with a white clothing over the dress, there was a red making on that look like a wolf? The mark had three red strips on it.

It got Blake’s attention. “Oh no.”

“Is that them?” Sun asked her.

“Yes, its them.”

Blaze saw more White fang members walk out of the plane and then they heard a voice from the plane, a voice Blaze knew. “Hey, what’s the hold up.” Then a man with a white coat, a hat on his head and a can in his hand walk out of the airship.

“Roman.” Both Blake and sun look at Blaze when he said that.

“Wait, it’s that the criminal that rob the dust store a month ago?” Blake asked Blaze who just nodded. “This isn’t right, the White fang would never a human. Especially with one like that.” She said while standing up while taking out her Gambol Shroud.

“What the hell are you doing?” Blaze asked her but she didn’t listen, she just jump of the roof. “Blake, get back her.”

Blake landed on the ground and ran towards the containers, she hid behind them watching them, waiting the right time to strike.

While Blake was watching, Roman was trying to explain something to a White fang. “No you idiot, this isn’t a leash.” Before Roman could react, Blake was behind him with her blade against his throat. “What the…? Oh for…”

Blake cut him off. “Nobody move.” The White fang didn’t listen as they pointed their guns and swords at Blake and Roman.

“Wow, take it easy there little lady.”

The White fang surrounded them and that got Blaze to react. “That idiot.” He grabbed his weapon and jump down, Sun followed him.

Blake on the other hand removed her bow showing her cat ears. “Brother of the White fang, why are you helping this Scum?” Blake asked them.

Roman couldn’t help but chuckle a little. “Oh kid, didn’t you get the memo?”

“What are you taking about?”

“The White fang and I are going in on a joint business adventure together.”

“Tell me what it is or I will put end to your little operation.”

Then all of sudden more two airship appeared over them. “I wouldn’t exactly call it a little operation.” While Blake was focus on the airships, Roman used his cain to create an explosion underneath her which made her flew away and landed on the ground.

Then Roan pointed his cane at her and started to fire more explosion dust at her but before she as hit, Blaze swop in and carried her to safety behind some containers.

Once they were out danger, he put her down. “First you asked for me help, then you run of on your own. Make up your bloody mind Blake.”

Blake just hung her head in shame. “I’m sorry, when I saw the White fang work with that human I kind wanted to find out why.”

“Do you know what your problem is Blake? You have trouble thrusting other, that have to stop.” Blaze put hand on her shoulder. “Your not alone, you got me, Opal and Luna who are your teammates and your friends who want to help you.” Blake look up at him and now she was crying so Blzae wipe away them. “Save those tears for later, let’s be done here first.”

Blake nodded. “Right.”

While Blaze and Blake was talking, Sun had joined the fight and he was currently fighting the White fang. Them Roman pointed his can at Sun and fired another unstable flare towards Sun, but before it hit him blaze appeared and used his spear to knock it away.

Roman wasn’t to happy to see Blaze. “Well, well. It’s been awhile fly boy. I should thank you for taking the blame for me when it comes to the dust store a month ago.”

Blaze just pointed his spear at him. “You and I have unsettled business.” Blaze then rocket towards Roman and swung his spear which Roman almost didn’t have time to deflect the attack.

Then they started to fight and Sun could only watch, them Blake arrived. “Should we help him?” Sun asked her.

Blake just smiled. “No, Blaze got this.”

When it came to the fight, Roman had trouble with Blaze’s speed. Then Roman was kick in the stomach sending him flying backwards.

Roman wasn’t happy right now and he needed a distraction, he then saw a container hanging in the air by some steel wires. He got up and shoot the wires making the fall down on Blake and Sun who had to jump out of the way so they didn’t get crushed by the container.

The distraction made Blaze forget about Roman for a moment to see if Blake was okay, she was but Sun was that lucky, Roman pointed his crane at him. Blaze didn’t like Sun but he wasn’t going to let him died but before he could react.

“HEY.”

All of them look where the voice were coming from and on a roof top stood Ruby with her Crescent Rose.

Then they started to talk and Penny appeared behind Ruby which gave Roman the change to fire at her, Ruby was hit and flew backwards. Roman then started to laugh. Penny wasn’t happy that Ruby was hurt so she got ready, she pulled out her weapons from her back which look like swords that was floating in the air, she then jump father than a normal human could.

Penny then used her weapons to make short work out of the White fang, everyone who watch was amazed by what she did, Blaze just thought that she wasn’t human at all.

Then three airship appeared and started to fire at Penny, she used her swords to deflect the bullets. Two swords came out from her back and they stuck into a building behind her bulling her away from the fire, Blaze could swear he saw wires coming from her back. Once Penny was safe, she started to spin her swords and a green beam came from them, the beam cut two of the airships in half.

Then another airship tried to get away with a container with dust but Penny wasn’t going to let that happened, she used her swords and attached them to the ship, she then started to walk backwards pulling the ship with her in the progress and this time Blaze saw wires coming from her back.

“She is not definitely not human.”

Roman had enough and decided to run for it, he ran to another ship to escape which he did.

Not far from it all, Eira had seen it all. “Great, Penny have just showed them what she can do, I’m definitely going to get yelled at.” She then disappeared into the night.

After some time the police arrived at the scene, Blaze and the others had to wait. While they waited, team Tornado, the rest of team Excalibur and Blackout also arrived.

Opal wasn't too happy. “What’s wrong with you Blaze? Why didn’t call us like you said you would?” She asked her team leader as she walk over to him and pointed a finger at him.

“Opal, don’t be mad at him, I’m the one who told him not to call you.” Blake defended Blaze.

Opal look at Blake with anger in her eyes. “You told him not to call?” Blake nodded. “Why? I thought we were your friends.”

Blake’s ears folded. “You are but I didn’t want you to get involved, I’m sorry.”

Opal just frowned. “Whatever.” She then just walk away.

Then Weiss walk over to Blake. “Hey Blake, is possible I can talk to you in private?”

Blake look at Blaze who just shrugged his shoulders. “Sure.” They walk of to get some privacy.

When they were gone, Ebony spoke up. “Can one you tell us what the hell happened?” She asked Blaze and Sun.

Once Blake and Weiss was far enough away from the others, Weiss spoke up first. “First of Blake, I would like to tell you that I’m sorry for the way I acted that night, I didn’t have the right to say the things that I said. I’m sorry.” She then bowed.

Blake was speechless, she never thought that Schnee would apologise to a Faunus. “You don’t have to apologize Weiss, I shouldn’t have said what I said that night.”

Weiss got up. “Yes you were, my family have done horrible things to the Faunus and I defended my family when I should have defended your people, the Faunus has been treated horribly over the years.”

Weiss wasn’t wrong about how the Faunus has been treated over the years, all the wanted was to be equal with the humans.

“Tell you what Weiss, why don’t we start over.” She then held out a hand. “My name is Blake Belladonna and I’m a Faunus with car ears.” She then wiggled them which made her bow move.

Weiss couldn’t help but giggle. “Nice to meet you Blake,” Wiess took her hand.” My name is Weiss Schnee and I have a question for you; are you part of the White fang?”

Blake shook her head. ”Not anymore and I have intension to return.”

Weiss smiled. “That’s all I wanted to hear, let’s head back to the others.”

While they walk back Blake couldn’t help but feel happy right now.

Sorry for the bad fight and ending.

Welcome to Vale

It’s was quiet night in the city of Vale, most people was inside enjoying a night inside but not all look like it should. In one of the back alley something was about to happened, a bubble appeared out of nowhere and human body with wings on its back, a tail and ears on its head fell out of it, the human landed on pavement face first. “Fuck, that hurt.” It was male. “What the hell happened?” He look around. “Celestia? Where are you?” He didn’t see her only buildings. “The big question is, where am I?” He got up to see if he recognized where I was, no luck. “Ok, I am not in Equestria anymore, that’s for sure. Where the hell did that zebra send me?”

He took a deep breath. “Ok Blaze, think. You were fighting a battle with the princess and you were badly hurt.” He took a look at his body and saw that he was fine. “That’s weird, I had a broken arm and my right wing was hurt, why I am fine?” He then look at his hands. “What the hell? Where is my fur.” He hands was not red anymore, the were pink. He then felt his face. “Where did my fur go?” He then felt something on his back. “At least I have my wings.” He then touched his head. “My ears.” He then look at his butt. “And my tail, but not my fur.” He rubbed his head in frustration. “What the buck happened to me?” He had no idea. “I better see if anypony can tell me where I am.” He started to walk.

As Blaze walk thought the street of the town he ended up in, he was meet by disgust, fear and hate by the creatures that look like him. He had no idea why he was treated like that he hadn’t done anything wrong. “Not a friendly town that’s for sure.” He mutter to himself. They called him a Faunus, whatever that was. Blaze then arrived at a shop that was called From ‘Dust Till Dawn’, he had never heard that name before. “Ok, I am definitely not in Equestria anymore.” He then happened to look unto the one windows of the shop and it look like it was begging robe by creatures he had seen while walking through town. “What the…?” Then everything went into slow motion as two of the creatures was heading towards the window he was looking through, he step aside as the two creatures came out the window, one was wearing a black suit with a hat, the last one was wearing a black outfit with a red cape. When they landed outside, the one with red cape pulled out a giant red and black scythe from her back while standing up. Blaze could tell she was female.

Ruby rose up with her Crescent Rose on her left shoulder, she then look at the those who were robbing the store with a smile. “Excuse me.” Ruby and the robbers look at the new voice and saw a Faunus with wings, ears and a tail. The Faunus had red hair, was wearing a black pants, he his shirt was red so and his jacket black. He also had a pair of black boots. “Is this normal around here?” He asked them.

The one with a white jacket look at his gang. “What are you guys standing around for? Get them.” Then creatures that was wearing black suits ran out of the shop, they all has swords in their hands.one of them went for Blaze while the rest went after the female.

Blaze but up both his hands. “Hey, I don’t want any trouble, I was just passing by.” He told the creature.

“Sorry Faunus, it nothing personal.” He then swung his sword but the only thing he hit was air. “What the…? Where did you go.” He then felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned around as fast as he could, but he got a fist to the face, he hit ground unconscious.

Blaze just look at the unconscious male, he sounded like male. “I told you I didn’t want any trouble.” He look at the female and saw that she had no trouble handling those who was after her, then Blaze saw a something small passing by his head, he saw more a black suits holding something in his hand that Blaze had no idea was. Then it made some noise and Blaze saw more small things heading towards him, he managed to avoid every one of the.

The guy how was firing just watch as every bullets miss it target and before he could blink, the Faunus was right in front of him taking his machine gun. “What’s this? Some advance bow and arrow?” The thug didn’t answer, he tried to punch the Faunus, but he got a fist in the face before he could, he fell on the ground. “Take a nap jack.” Blaze told him as he threw away the machine gun.

Blaze then heard one of the creatures started to talk, this one was wearing a white jacket with a bowler hat, he was also smoking a cigarette. “Well, Red, I think we can say it’s been an eventful evening,” he then threw the cigarette on the ground and stump on it with his cane. “and as much as I’d love to stick around.” He gave Blaze and angry eye he then pointed the cane at the female. “I’m afraid this is where we part ways.” He then fired something from the cane.

Blaze react by flying towards the female and scoping her up in his arms, he then carried her to safety from whatever he fired from his cane, it explode when it hit the ground.

Ruby jump out his arms. “Hey, I didn’t need to be saved, I had that.” She told the Faunus.

“I did just save your life, and this is thanks I get? He could have killed you.” Blaze told her while pointing where the male was, but he was gone. “Where did he go?” They both look around and saw the he was climbing up a ladder that was hanging on a building. “How did he get up there so fast?” Blaze ask no one in particular.

Ruby ran after him. “Hey, get back here.”

Blaze watch her go. “Wait.” He watch as the female use her scythe to jump up the building and landing on the roof. “How did she do that?” He ask himself. Blaze watch as the stallion stop at the edge of the roof and then a giant metal bird appeared. “What’s that?” He then saw the stallion jump into the metal bird and the he threw something, but Blaze couldn’t see what. Then out of nowhere, another creature appeared stopping an explosion with some purple glyph.

The stallion was trying to escape, and Blaze wasn’t going to let that happened, he took to the sky and flew up to the metal bird. Once there he saw the stallion was controlling it. “What does this Faunus want?” Roman ask himself.

Then a black sky appeared out of nowhere right over them, then ice fall down of the sky, Blaze managed to doge the ice. He then saw fire coming out from the bird, then the roof explode, then the new female used the explosion and send it back as a giant arrow. Blaze couldn’t help but marvel of what he saw, the only one he knew who could do such things was Celestia, but it wasn’t her. Then some kind of fire wall knock Blaze back and he lost concentration, he fell towards the ground and hit hard enough to knock him out.

When Blaze finally awoke, he had a terrible headache. “So, this is what I for trying to right thing, pain in my head.” He said while getting up.

When Blaze opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of stallions pointing that look like a black L shape thing towards him. “Freeze, get your hands up Faunus.” Said one of them.

Now, Blaze could easily take them out, but they look like soldiers and he didn’t want to get into more trouble. “Fine.” He raised his arms. “Take me to your leader.” The stallions just gave each other a confusion look, then one of the took out a pair of handcuffs as he started to walk towards him. Blaze couldn’t help but wonder what would happened next.

“Man, you try to do something good and one gets arrested.” He crossed his arms. “Life sucks.” After Blaze got arrested he was brought down to the police station for questing, they had left him a room where he had to wait, he didn’t even know why he was arrested. They called him Faunus scum he still didn’t know what Faunus was or why they hated him, he hadn’t done anything wrong.

Blaze look around the room, there was nothing special about it, a table, two chair and a mirror. He decided to have a look at himself in the mirror, considering he forgot about it, Blaze got up from the chair he was sitting in and walk over to the mirror.

Once he look into the mirror, it was like he look into the eyes of a complete stranger. Instead of fur had pink skin, the only fur he had was on his head and it was it was same as before, orange and bright orange. “Well, at last my hair is normal, that’s something. I look like a monkey without hair.” His clothes had change too, instead of his armour he was wearing a black jacket, his pants was back too and red shirt. He had his ears, tail and wings. “Maybe I am this ‘Faunus’ they are talking about.” He let out a frustrated sigh. “What I am going to do?” He was about to walk to the chair when the door opened.

Blaze look in the direction of the door and saw something that look like him walk in except that he didn’t have any animal part. The new one had silver hair, he was wearing black suit, some green around his neck. “Hello there.” He said with a smile. Then Blaze saw a plate with some sandwich on it, he also had a glass of milk. The not Faunus walk over to the table and place the glass and plate on it. “I thought you were hungry.” His smile never let his face. Blaze didn’t answer him, there was something about him that told Blaze not to trust him, like he was hiding something. “My name is Ozpin, who are you?”

Blaze thought he better answer. “Blaze Fury.”

Ozpin just smile. “Nice to meet you Mr. Fury.”

Blaze didn’t like that. “If you want us to have a normal conversation Ozpin, don’t call me Mr. Fury. Blaze is ok.”

Ozpin nodded. “Alright, let’s sitting down and let’s have talk Blaze.” Ozpin sat down in one of the chair, Blaze just look at him. Every bone in his body said not to trust this Ozpin, he didn’t know why. Blaze eventually sat down in the other chair. Ozpin bushed the plate over to him. “I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you some sandwich.”

Blaze studied them. “Is there meat on them?” He wasn’t about to eat that.

Ozpin shook his head. “No, only peanut butter.” Blaze could eat that, he took on and started to eat, it was good. “So, tell me Blaze, what are a Faunus like you doing in Vale at this time of day?”

So, he was a Faunus, whatever that was. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” He said while chewing.

“Try me, I might surprise you.”

If Blaze was to tell him anything, he first needed answers. “Tell you what Ozpin, you tell me what I want to know, and I will tell you everything you want to, deal?”

Ozpin just started at him, he eventually nodded. “Alright Blaze, ask away.”

Blaze was happy by that. “Ok, first question, what are you?”

Ozpin was surprised by the question, that’s for sure. “Have you never seen a human before.” Blaze just shook his head. “Interesting, well, I just told that I am a human or homo sapiens if you want to get technical. I think I know your next question is, a Faunus is like a human with traits of animals.”

“Yeah, I kind of figured out that part when you said you were human.” Ozpin couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, next question, where am I exactly?”

“You are in the city of Vale, it’s lies on the western coast of the kingdom of Vale and it’s the…”

“Hold on a minute, this town is called Vale and lies in the kingdom of Vale, did they run out of name or something?” Blaze joked.

Ozpin smiled again. “I guess it sounds a little weird when you’re not from around here.”

Blaze wasn’t surprised that Ozpin already knew that he wasn’t from this place. “And what are the names of the other places?”

“Well, there are Mistral to the east, Vale and Vacuo that lies in the central and then we have Atlas that lies on the northern continent of Solitas. There are also…”

Blaze cut him off. “That’s enough for now, I don’t think my brain can handle any more information right now.” Blaze rubbed his face with both hands. “I guess it’s your turn to ask.”

“Yes.” Ozpin placed bot hand on the table and folded his hands. “Might telling me where you are from? I don’t think you’re from anywhere in Remnant.” Blaze gave him a confusion look when he mentioned Remnant. “Sorry, this landed is called Remnant, I forgot to mention that.”

Blaze nodded. “Well, you already know my name. I was born as pegasus pony in the city of Cloudsdale in the country of Equestria, I lived there most of my life until I turned eighteen when I became solar guard to our ruler princess Celestia.”

Ozpin tilted his head to the side. “Princess? Why not queen Celestia?”

Blaze just shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t know, I never ask her, not even when I became her personal body guard.”

Ozpin was impressed by that. “Her personal body guard, I guess you already have training then.”

“You can say that, at first I thought it was a waste of time considering Equestria had never been at war for over six hundred years, but that all chance when the zebra kingdom invaded.”

“I am guessing that something happened in that war that you ended up in Vale.”

Blaze nodded. “Yeah, a zebra shaman threw some sort of potion at Celestia, I dove in front of her to proacted her, the potion hit me and the next thing I knew I landed first face first in an ally in Vale. All the damage I had received in a battle was gone and my entire wardrobe has change.” He look down on his clothes. “Instead of my armour I am now wearing these clothes, my fur is gone, I’m just glad that I have my wings.” He spread his wings so Ozpin could see them.

“I’m guessing you were red pony before you came here.”

“Yes, how did you know that? I didn’t tell you that.” Ozpin pointed at his wings, Blaze look at them and boy was he shocked. “Holy crap, they are red, cool.” Blaze couldn’t help but smile of that.

Ozpin couldn’t help but chuckle. “I also know that you are pretty fast.”

Blaze lowered his wings. “Let me guess, you talk to the mare with the red hood before you came here.”

Ozpin nodded. “Yes, we don’t call them mare, they are called female and I what you can call a male.” Blaze nodded in understanding. “So, Blaze. What are you going to do now?”

Blaze leaned back in his chair and too another sandwich, he started to eat it. “It looks like have to go to jail for something I didn’t do, they think that I help that ‘man’ in robbing that shop, which I didn’t.”

“I know, miss Rose told me that you help her and save her life.”

Blaze snorted. “I saved her life? It didn’t sound like that before, she said she didn’t need help.”

Ozpin leaned back in his chair. “What would you say if I knew of a way that don’t end with you going to jail.”

That got Blaze attention. “And what would that be?” He ask while leaning forward.

“Join my academy and become a huntsman.”

Blaze raised an eye brown of that. “Become a what…?”

“A huntsman.” Blaze had no idea what a huntsman was, and Ozpin could see that. “A huntsmen or a huntresses are dedicated to slaying the creatures if Grimm and protect this world from them.”

Blaze nodded. “So basically, I have knife to my throat. Either go to jail and probably spend the rest of my life there or become a huntsman and die by these Grimm,” He crossed his arms. “dosen’t sound like I have choice here.”

“You always have a choice.”

Blaze couldn’t help but snort. “Dosen’t sound like it.” Blaze thought about it and he really didn’t want to go to jail but he didn’t know what a Grimm was, if they were anything like the animal that lived in the Everfree forest then this world wasn’t that much in danger. Then it was the whole protecting others, he swore that he wouldn’t let anypony die again, he didn’t care that he swore to protect the princess, he joined the solar guard to protect the ponies of Equestria but that never happened. “Alright Ozpin, I’ll join your academy to become a huntsman.”

Ozpin smiled. “Great, I will go and let the captain know that you have accepted my offer just one question, what kind of weapon did you use as a guard?”

“I was good with a spear, why do you ask?”

“A huntsman needs a weapon but leave that to me, I think I have something for you.” Ozpin stood up. “I better tell the captain and before I forget, you have to spend one night in jail I hope that’s ok with you.” Blaze just waved it off, he could handle one night.

Ozpin then started to walk towards the door. “Hey Ozpin.” He stood and turned around to face Blaze. “I don’t know what kind of game you are paying but when it blows up in your face, don’t expect me to hold your hand.” Ozpin said nothing, he just walk out the door leaving Blaze alone.

Blaze leaned his head back to look at the ceiling. “What have I gotten myself into?”

As usually, I know that my writing is bad. I think it's difficult to find someone that will help me.

Blaze is my own OC.

First Day at School

It was new day in the world of Remnant and the sun was shining, right in Blakes face who was sleeping peacefully in her bed. “Stupide sun.” She tried to cover her face with her duvet, but it didn’t work very well. “I guess I have to get up.” She mumble to herself. She sat up in her bed and tried to rube the fatigue out of her eyes

Once she could see again, she could see that she was in her dorm. “I guess I’m still at Beacon.” She look to her left and saw that Opal was still sleeping and Luna, well she was using the entire bed and part of her duvet was on the floor while the rest was covering one of her legs, Blake couldn’t help but giggle of the sight.

She the look over to Blaze’s bed and saw that it was empty. ‘I guess he’s up already, probably in the bathroom.’ As on cue, the door to the bathroom opened and Blaze walk out. When Blake saw his upper body, she couldn’t help but blush. He had a six pack and muscles on his body, she was also glad that he was wearing pants, she couldn’t help think he was sexy. “G… good morning.” She managed to say.

“Morning.” Blaze answered her as he walk to his bed to get dress.

“Do you know what time it?” She ask him.

“No, but if I had to guess it’s almost eight. I usually up at seven.”

Blaze grabbed her scroll which was lying under her pillow to check the clock, it was 7:30 am. “You’re not wrong about the clock, it's 7:30 am.” She told him. Blaze didn’t answer her he just started to get dress. Blake decided to get up and take a shower, she gathered her stuff and went to the bathroom.

As soon as Blake closed the door, Opal started to stir in her bed. she opened her eyes sat up. “What time is it?” She ask no one in particular while rubbing her eyes.

“7:30 am.” Answered Blaze.

Opal flop back on her pillow. “It’s too early.” She said in a tired voice.

“Maybe, but classes starts at 9 am so maybe you should get up.” Blaze told her.

Opal didn’t want to admit it, but he was right. “Fine.” She sat up and got her body out of the bed, she then stretch her body. “When did you get up?” She ask Blaze.

“Around 7.”

Opal almost fell back to her bed when she heard that. “That early? How and why?” Blaze couldn’t help but smirk of her reaction.

Blaze put on his uniform. “I was a guard before coming here, so I am used to it.” He answered her.

“You know what, I actually believe you.”

Then their fourth member started to wake up. “Would you two shut up, I’m trying to sleep.” Said Luna while curling up into a ball, she then notice something was missing. “Where’s my duvet?” She opened her eyes and saw that part of it was on the floor, Luna couldn’t help but groan. “Not again.” She grabbed it and pulled it over herself.

Opal couldn’t help but giggle of what she saw while Blaze just rolled his eyes. “Get up Luna, school starts today.” Blaze told her.

“I don’t want to.” She mumble.

“You know what got yourself into when enlisted into the school, if you don’t want to be here then leave.” Before anyone of them could answer, Blaze had already left the room.

Luna look up at the door. “What’s his problem?”

“I guess he’s still mad about yesterday, we were a little hard on him.”

Luna ears dropped. “You have point, we were a little hard on him.”

After Blake was done in the shower and had chance into her school uniform, it was Opal’s turn. When she was done taking a shower she just stood there looking into the mirror and her panda ears, reflecting her life as a Faunus. When she was little she didn’t care that she had a pair of extra ears and she was too naïve to understand that the humans threat the Faunus differently, but that all changed when she was twelve years old.

One day Opal’s mother allowed her to travel to Mantel to visit her father, Opal couldn’t be happier. She had never been allowed to travel alone before or visit her father in Mantle, she was the happies girl alive at that time. The journey was ok, she didn’t have any trouble on the ship that was taking her to Mantle. Her father meet her on the platform where the ship was landing, she gave her father a hug and she was happy, that didn’t last long. On their way to her father’s apartment she got separated from him, she couldn’t hold on to his arm and before she knew, she was alone.

Opal wonder the street of Mantel she didn’t know how long or where she was, the only time she had been to Mantel was when she was six years old and she don’t remember anything from that time. She thought about asking someone for directions, but fate had different plans. Before Opal could as anyone, three humans appeared out of nowhere, blocking her path. They wanted to know what a filthy Faunus was doing all long, she wanted to tell them to leave her along, but she was to afraid.

Then one of them decided to kick her, he kick her in the stomach. Opal feel on the cold payment clutching her stomach while the three humans just laugh at her, then they decided to place a foot on her head and all Opal could do was cry while they laugh. Lucky for her it didn’t last long, her father showed up and the three humans decided to run. Her father was police in Mantel, protecting the residents there.

After that incident, Opal understood that the humans was bad, her father told her that not all humans are like the three humans that assault her, but she didn’t listen to him. When she was back on Menagerie she decided to join the White Fang to get revenge over the humans that hurt her, that never happened. As the time went on she went on mission for the White Fang helping them breaking into placed that sold dust, especially Schnee. But when they started to kill humans, she had enough.

She look into the mirror and at her panda ears, she then look at the bun covers she had in her hand which she just to cover up her ears. She just them so others didn’t find out she was a Faunus, her mother told before she left that shouldn’t hide who she is. She then crushed them in her hand. ‘I’m not going to hid who I am, I am a Faunus and I am proud of it.’ She then tossed in the trash can.

“How long is she going to take?” Said Luan while sitting on her bed with her arms crossed.

“It has only been ten minutes.” Blake told her, who was sitting by the desk writing something on a paper. “Have patience.”

Luna let out a sighed. “I know, alright. I just want to be late for our first day at Beacon.”

“School doesn’t started until 9:00 am, we still have time.”

When that was said, Opal came out from bathroom in her uniform. “Who designed these?” She said while pulling on her skirt. “I prefer dress not skirt.” She then saw her team meats staring at her. “What? Why are you looking at me?”

“Where are your bun covers?” Luna ask her.

“I threw them away, I’m not going to hide who I am, I’m a Faunus and that’s final.” She then walk to the door. “I’m going to get some breakfast, see you two in class.”

Both girls just started at the door. “Well, I didn’t see that one.” Said Luna, she then got of her bed. “I’m taking that shower.” She went in.

Sitting alone in the room was Blake with the words Opal said; I’m not going to hide who I am. She took off her bow that she used to hide her cat ears and she couldn’t help but wonder who she was fooling, herself or other. Like Opal she used the bow to cover up that she was a Faunus but most because she used to be in the White fang but people her at Beacon didn’t know that, should she do as Opal or not? One thing ran through her mind, how would they react when they found out? Would they accept her? Would she run away as she usually does?

“I’m not as strong as Opal.” She tied a bow on her head to cover up her ears.

After Luna was done in the bathroom and dressed, both girls went to get some breakfast. When they arrived in the dining hall, they could see Opal there but not Blaze, they guessed that he had already eaten.

When they finally arrived at their first class of the years, all three girls saw that Blaze already had taken a seat up high and back of the classroom. They took a seat beside him.

Luna sat beside him. “Hey Blaze.” He look over to her. “I’m sorry about how I acted last night.”

He just shrugged it off. “Don’t worry about it, I had worst thing said to me.” Luna gave him a small smile when she heard that he wasn’t mad at her. “I’m glad to see that one of you aren’t hiding who you are anymore.” Those words were direct at Blake and Opal, Opal didn’t mind what he said but Blake took offence of what he said.

Luna meanwhile was looking around the room to see who had arrived. She could see team Tornado but only three of them, Rainbow Dash was missing. When it came to team Excalibur, it was the same, Ruby was missing. Yang was sitting in between Ebony and Weiss who was given each other looks, she could feel the tension between them. She couldn’t see team Juniper or Cardinal she didn’t care that much about Cardinal. She took out her scroll to check the time, it was about thirty minutes to class started, she decided to get some rest until it started. She placed her arms on the table and rested her head in them.

“Luna, wake up.” She was awaken by someone shaking in her shoulder, she opened her eyes and saw that it was Blaze. “Class is about to start.” Luna rubbed her eyes to see better.

Luna watch as an elderly man who she guess was their teacher, entered the room. He was wearing a double breasted burgundy suit with gold piping and buttons he was also wearing brown pants with olive boots, then Luna saw his moustache and couldn’t help but giggle at it.

The man walk to a desk. “Good morning every one, my name is Professor Peter Port and I am your teacher when it comes to Grimm.” He then look around the room, he eyes landed at Tyr’s team. “Mr. Laraan, where is your last member?” Peter asked him.

“According to Applejack and Rarity here, she isn’t morning bird, we tried to wake her, but it didn’t work.” He answered the professor.

Peter nodded. “I see.” He then took out a pocket watch. “Miss Dash has about two minutes to get here on time, so does miss Rose and team Juniper.”

Ebony snorted. “Typical, it had to be Ruby who is one who is late.” She look over to Yang. “Does your sister take anything seriously?” She ask her team mate.

“Hey, Ruby is just a kid.” Yang answered her.

“We are all kids.” Ebony snap at her.

At Tyr. “Does Rainbow Dash do this every morning?” He asked the two girls.

“Unfortunately, yes.” Rarity answered.

Tyr slide a hand through his hair. “Great, we are getting into trouble just because she like to sleep in the morning.”

As soon as those words left Tyr’s mouth, they heard moments outside the classroom. Then the doors opened with a bang and Rainbow Dash step in, breathing heavily. “I made it.” before she could take one step, someone crash into her from behind, it was Ruby. Then team Juniper arrived, they trip on Dash and Ruby landing on top of them. Dash was crushed by them all.

“I’m glad that you all could join us and just on time.” Said Peter while putting away his pocket watch. “Now, I would like to get started so would everyone take their seat.”

Juniper and Ruby got off Dash and took a seat. Dash sat down with her team. “Why didn’t you wake me?” She asked in whispered while taking a seat next to Applejack.

“We tired but you are impossible to wake up in the morning” Applejack answered her, Dash just rolled her eyes.

Ruby, meanwhile, was getting an angry look by Ebony. “Nice for you to join us.” Ebony said while Ruby sat between her and Yang, while trying to be as small as she could be. Yang patted her sister on the back while Weiss just shook her head.

“Now that we are all here, let’s us begging.” He started to walk. “Monster! Demons… Prowlers of the night. Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names. But, I merely refer to them as prey. Hu-hah! Haha.”

Blaze raised an eye brown when the professor laugh, he didn’t understand what was so funny neither did the rest of the students, the room was quite.

Peter “Uhh, and you shell too, upon graduating from this prestigious school. Now as I was saying, Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our planet is teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces.”

When Blaze heard that he was glad that the Grimm wasn’t in Equestria, the ponies would probably die, if not Celestia could protect them.

“And that’s where we come in. Huntsman! Huntresses…” He then click his tongue and it looked like was winking at Yang? Who was embarrassed. “individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From what you ask? Why… The very world!”

Then another student raised his arm and said. “Eyyy-yeah!” Blaze couldn’t help but question that person enthusiasm.

Peter just ignored the student and counited. “That is what you are training to become. But first, a story. A tale of a young, handsome, man. Me. When I was a boy…”

Blaze couldn’t help but think that this professor was unique in his own way, he was this school expert on Grimm and probably knew more about them an any other human. Blaze’s gaze then wander around the room, he saw that girls was listing to the professor, so was team Juniper. Tyr team was a little different, all expect Dash listen to the professor and the same went for Ebony’s team, Ruby wasn’t listing. Blaze couldn’t see what she was doing considering she was sitting with her back to him, but he was pretty sure she was drawing something.

“In the end the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity.” Peter then raised his left arm to the side. “And I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high. Celebrated, as a hero.” He then bowed. Nobody clap for him. “The moral of this story? A true huntsman must be honourable.” While the professor was talking. “A true huntsman must be dependable.” Weiss was getting more and more angry by Ruby and the way she was behaving. “A true huntsman must be strategic...” That she didn’t listen to the professor and that she was goofy around. “Well educated and wise!” She had enough of her.

“So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?”

Then Weiss raised her hand. “I do sir.” Now all eyes were on her.

“Well then, let’s find out. Why don’t you go and chance and then you can face your opponent.” He said while looking at a cage that probably contained a Grimm.

Weiss walk out of the classroom while the rest waited.

“Is the safe to have a Grimm here in the school?” Blaze asked the girls.

“The cage look safe enough and I am pretty sure wouldn’t have one here if they couldn’t contain it.” Opal told him. Blaze had to admit it, it made sense. They would probably not let a Grimm run free and but the students in danger, they aren’t that stupide.

Meanwhile where team Tornado was sitting.

“I’m surprised that you didn’t raised your hand when the professor asked for a volunteer.” Applejack told Dash.

Dash just subbed her face with both hands. “Too tired.” She said in a groggy voice.

“We told you not to stay up late playing video games, but you didn’t listen.” Rarity scolded her.

Dash laid her hands on the desk and rest her head in them. “Whatever.” Tyr just watch the whole thing and couldn’t help think that these four years would be interesting.

Eventually Weiss entered the classroom in her white dress and her Myrtenaster strap to her hip, she walk over to the cage and got ready to fight the Grimm.

Yang. “Gooo Weiss.”

Ruby. “Yeah, represent teeeeeam Excalibur.” Ebony didn’t cheer for Weiss, but she wonder who made Ruby the leader for the team.

“Ruby, I’m trying to focus.” Weiss told her with annoyance in her voice.

“Oh, sorry.”

Blaze could see that Weiss had some issues with Ruby, he couldn’t help but wonder what.

Peter. “Alright. Let the match begin.”

Peter used an axe to destroy the lock to the cage and out came a Grimm that look like a boar. Blaze didn’t think it look that tough, but looks can be deceiving.

The boar Grimm charged at Weiss who strike it on the side as she jump to the side, it didn’t look like the attack hurt the Grimm at all, the Grimm stopped and turned around ready to attack again.

Peter. “Haha, wasn’t expecting that were you.”

Ruby. “Hang in there Weiss.” Ruby might cheer for her, but Ebony thought it was funny that the princess didn’t managed to hurt the Grimm.

The Grimm and Weiss charge each other, when Weiss attack she managed to get her weapon stuck between the Grimm’s tusks.

“Bold, new approach. I like it.” Said Peter while Weiss was struggling to get her weapon free.

Then Ruby decide to cheer again. “Come on Weiss, show it who’s boss.” That mead Weiss to lose focus for a second and she managed to lose the grip of her Myrtenaster, the Grimm threw it away.

Ebony then leaned over to Ruby. “Would you shut up I don’t think Weiss want’s your help.”

“But I…” Ebony gave her a look that made her shut up.

Then the Grimm knock her away. “Oho, now what will you do without your weapon?” Peter asked her.

Team Blackout was watching the fight with eager eyes. “I wonder what Weiss will do now, since she lost her weapon.” Said Luna.

“I wonder if there’s a way she can defeat that Grimm didn’t take any damage when she attack it.” Said Opal.

Then Blaze spoke. “Trust me, this Grimm has a weakness.” All girls look at him with curiosity as he leaned forward. “Let’s just hope that Weiss can figured it out before it’s too late.”

The Grimm charge towards Weiss so she had to jump to the side not to get hit, she then ran to her weapon while the Grimm crashed. Weiss then slide on the ground picking up her weapon.

Then Ruby decided to speak again. “Weiss, go for its…” that was all she could say until Ebony smack her on the head.

“I told you to shut up, let the princess find out on her own.” Ebony told her with irritation in her voice.

“But, I just wanted to help her.” Said while rubbing her head.

“She doesn’t want your help she want to it alone.”

While Ruby and Ebony was arguing, the Grimm had recover and was ready to attack Weiss. The Grimm jump into the air and started to spin very fast, then it started to roll towards Weiss. As the Grimm was about to hit her, Weiss trusted her weapon towards it and a blue glyphs appeared, the Grimm flew backwards a little and landed on its back. Weiss then took a backflip into the air and then another glyphs appeared rocking her towards the Grimm, she then stab it in the stomach killing it.

When it was over, Weiss was breathing heavily. “Bravo! Braa-vo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress in training. I’m afraid that’s all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned reading and, stay vigilant. Class dismissed.” Said Peter. Then Weiss walk out of the room with angry look in her face.

Opal and the girls was about to leave too when they notice Blaze just sitting there, staring at where the battle had taken.

Opal then placed hand on his shoulder. “Blaze, are you ok?”

“What was those things that appeared in front of the Grimm and under Weiss feet?” He ask them.

“Those were glyphs, it’s here semblance.” Blake told her.

Luna tilted her head to the side. “How do you know that?” She asked Blake.

“It's common knowledge, almost everyone in Remnant knows that the Schnee family’s semblance is glyphs.”

Blaze look at her. “Wait, they are hereditary?” He ask her.

“I wouldn’t say that, but I know for a fact that Weiss and her sister semblance are glyphs, they use them with dust.”

Blaze put a hand on his chin. “So, Weiss has a sister. Is she cute?” The girls didn’t expect that question, that’s for sure.

While Blaze and the girls were talking Ruby and the rest of the team was running after Weiss, Ruby and her sister was running while Ebony was walking.

“Weiss, will you stop for a moment and talk to us.”

Weiss stop and turned around to face her team. “You want to talk? How about you almost got me killed in class.” Weiss shout at her.

Yang placed herself between them. “Take it easy Weiss, Ruby just wanted to help.”

“I don’t want her help I can do this on my own and Ruby’s shouting almost got me killed, how’s that helping me?” Yang tried to say something, but nothing came out. “I thought so, you three can stay the out of my way, I don’t need your help.”

Then Ebony decided to say something. “What is your problem? Is having team mates that bad?” She asked Weiss.

“Team mates only gets in my way.”

“I see, I never thought you were like your sister, Winter.”

Weiss eyes widen when she heard that. “Don’t you compare me to my sister.”

Ebony crossed her arms. “Why not? A few seconds ago, you said that you want to work alone and that’s just what your sister does. If you want to be an Ace Operatives then you should have stayed in Atlas.”

Weiss wanted to say something, but Ebony was right even she would never admit it, she sounded like her sister. Weiss had always admired Winter who distant herself from the Schnee name and she wanted to do the same, that’s why she came to Beacon.

Then Ruby raised a hand. “What’s Ace Operatives?” She didn’t know.

“I have the same question.” Said Yang.

“Ace Operatives, or Ace Ops, they are Atlas top Huntsmen and Huntresses, Weiss’s sister isn’t technically an Ace Ops but she likes to do things alone so she could be one.” Ebony told them. The sister’s answered with an ooo.

Then silence came until a new voice spoke. “So, how was your first day here at this school?” All four girls hearts almost jump into the throat by the one who spoke, it was Ozpin who was standing behind Weiss.

“Professor Ozpin, where did you come from?” Weiss asked him.

“From my office?” He answered her in a calm voice.

Weiss felt embarrassed of his answered, she should have known that. Ruby and her sister couldn’t help but giggle while Ebony just smirk.

“Right, I want to ask you; did you do the right thing to put me on this team? I think I would do it best on my own.”

Ozpin took a sip from the cup he was holding in his hand. “On your own you say? Wouldn’t you have more success in slaying Grimm with a team? Other’s to help you in your battle?” Weiss opened her mouth to answer but nothing came out. “Listen miss Schnee, I’ve have made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planted. But at this moment I don’t think making you four a team one of them.” He placed a hand on Weiss shoulder. “You have been on this team one day, try and get to know them before making a decision.” He then turned around and walk away leaving them alone in the hallway.

“Ok, that was just weird.” Said Ebony.

After class, Blaze decided to head to the library to read a little about this world he was in, there was one thing that intrigued him more than anything and that was semblance. He has seen Luna create light from her hands, Opal can ‘control’ thing, Blake can create doubles of herself and Weiss can use dust, he wanted to know more about them.

After he managed to find a book about semblance, Blaze sat down by one of the tables and started to read. “Let’s see here. Semblance is the manifestation of one's innate and personal power as an ability unique to each individual…”

He looked up from the book. “I understand that part..”

After a couple of seconds, he went back to the book and continued to read. "Apparently you can unlock your semblance if you managed to unlock your aura.”

Blaze frowned after seeing this. Mainly, because one thing in the passage he just read confused him. “What the hell is aura?”

Lucky for him, the explanation he needed was in the same book. “Aura is the manifestation of one’s soul and an ability that all those with a soul can use. For some, it can act like a shield around once body while others can use their aura's to enhance their semblance.”

After reading this, Blaze looked up from the book and to his hand. “I wonder if I have aura.” He first looked back to the book, seeing if there was a passage about how one could channel their aura. However, the only thing that the book told him was that it required training and willpower.

Then, Blaze looked back to his hand. "Okay... here it goes."

He tried to focus his concentration on his hand. To activate it by continent to his soul, then saw his hand shine red. “Ok, that’s cool.” He went back to the book but didn’t get to read anything.

“There you are.” Blaze look over the edge of the book and saw his team walking towards him. “We tried to find you after class, but you just disappeared.” Said Luna.

Blaze placed book on the table. “I just wanted to read about this world.”

The girls sat down on the other side of the table. “Did you just say, ‘this world’?” Opal asked him.

He nodded. “That’s right.”

The girls just gave each other a confusing look. “Just where are you from?” Luna asked him.

Maybe it was time he told him. “I will tell you where I am from one condition, that you will keep an opened mind, deal?” All three girls nodded. “All right.”

He then started to tell them about his world, the three races that lived there, the ruler that raised the sun and moon, he didn’t say her name. he told them that earth ponies had a strong connection to the earth, pegasus could fly and walk on clouds and even control the weather, unicorn who could use magic. And that there was more female then male in his world. After he was done the girls just gave him a blank stare, he knew that they wouldn’t believe him.

Luna couldn’t help but frown. “Do you expect us to believe what you just told us?”

“Believe what you want, it’s the truth.” He told her in a clam voice.

“It sounds like one of the fantasy books I read when I was little.” Said Blake.

“I believe you.” Said Opal which surprised the others.

Luna look at her team mates with her eye brown raised. “Are you serious Opal?” Luna asked her.

“Yes, I am. I don’t think that Blaze is the one to lie to us.”

Luna then looked over to Blake. “Don’t tell you believe him to?”

Blake tubbed her arm. “To be honest, I want to believe but it sound a little made up. No offence.” Blaze just waved it off.

Blaze leaned back in his chair. “Look Luna, I understand that you don’t believe me, I also would be sceptic in your position, but I am telling you the truth. What would I lei about this?”

He was right, he had no reason to lei about all this. “Let’s say that I believe you, how did end up here?”

“A fair question, I was the personal guard for Equestria ruler, and I had been it for about two years. Then another kingdom declared war against mine, after two months of battling me and the princess was fighting some of the enemies. We fought with every solider, but the enemy had twice the number and in the end it was just me and the princess. Then a shaman appeared and threw a magic bottle at the princess, I leap in front her to protect her, the bottle the hit me and the next thing I know I feel face first on the payment in Vale.”

Blaze study there faces after telling his story, Luna had a look that said he was crazy, Opal had stars in her eyes so that means she believe him, Blake was somewhere in between.

Blaze eventually got up. “Alright, I have told you three about my world and how I got here. I’m heading back.” He grabbed the book and placed it back where he found it, he then left the library.

Once he as gone, Luna decided to speak. “You two don’t actually believe him, do you?” She ask her team mates.

Opal. “I do, magic unicorn and all that stuff, it’s sounds so cool.” She said with a smile on her face.

Luna just rolled her eyes of how Opal was behaving she then look at Blake. “What about you Blake.”

“Well, I don’t say that I believe him but maybe it’s true, I’m not sure.”

“You two can believe whatever you want because I think he’s crazy.” She stop up. “A magical land with ponies that walks on two legs and can use magic, give me a break.” She then head towards the exit.

Once she was back at their dorm, she opened the door and saw Blaze sitting on his bed with his scroll. She just look at him and he look so normal, it was weird not to think about he just told her. she wanted to believe him, but it just sounded so crazy.

“You still don’t believe me?”

Said Blaze which scared her. “Yeah, look I’m sorry I want to believe but it just sounds so…” She had trouble finding the right word.

“I think the word your looking for I crazy.” He said without looking up from his scroll.

“Wouldn’t use that word but yes.” She let out a sighed. “Look, it’s not you it’s me.” That made Blaze stop what he was doing to look at her. “I have lived my entire life on Menagerie, and this is the first time I have been outside of the island. I’m still getting used this ‘new world’, it’s all so new for me.”

“I understand, it’s all new for me too. Tell you what, let’s no mention where I am from for now and just try and get along these four years.”

Blaze offered Luna a hand, hoping she would accepted it, she gave him a smile. “I can live with that.” She shook his hand.
