"SNEAK ATTACK!!!!"

I stepped to the side as I watch Jaune jump with his sword overhead and swing down. As he turned my right hand had struck the back of his skull as my left leg kicks his knee making him buckle in pain.

Then I step back and smiled, as Jaune fell on to one knee. His aura has yet to fall making me chuckle shocked.

Y/N: "Not bad... You moved very quietly with that armor on. Much better than last week."

Jaune: "How do you keep hurting me... With my semblance up."

Y/N: "You are just too open... And you're still getting used to it. I'm still doing the same myself... You think I enjoy setting up this little shield of mine. That supposedly protects me."

I grabbed my side remembering where the blade had struck three weeks ago. A moment... A slip up on my part and I didn't even notice.

Jaune: "Guess... You are finding it just as hard."

I nodded grabbing my side knowing the wound is now closed, but it still irritated me. Actually so much so, that I've been wearing my old armor again. But this was practice for Jaune, so I didn't believe it was necessary.

Y/N: "Ok... Enough about that. Get up, we've got work to do."

Jaune nodded and slowly raised his blade, we slowly started circling one another again. Then swatted Jaune blade aside, then stepped closer. He bashed me back and I smiled getting pushed back.

He goes for an overhead swing and I block it with my blade, stepping to the side when his blade was down to our level. I grabbed his hand twisting it. Making him drop the blade and kick him back. As I flick his blade with the tip of my foot catching it in hand with a reverse grip.

Y/N: "What was that?"

Jaune: "I'm sorry-"

Y/N: "I'm not talking about the blade; I'm talking about why you haven't charged me to try to get your weapon back or stop me?"

Jaune: "It's unfair!"

I spun both blades in hand then sheathed then on my belt. As I slowly started walking around Jaune.

Y/N: "In war and in battles no matter where you go, there will always be a level of unfairness... Am I clear? The sooner you grasp that understanding. The better off you are. There will always be people stronger than you, faster than you-"

Jaune charged for his sword. But I had met him first and kicked him in the back, he skidded across the roof in a groan. His shield lay at my feet. I placed his shield on my arm as I walked over to him.

Y/N: "Better trained than you, with years of experience and if you're not careful... They will kill you."

Jaune grabbed his chin, then looks to me and slowly rises to his feet.

Jaune: "What... About honor-"

Y/N: "Fighting for honor... Don't even mention that word, will honor save you in your darkest hour, will it save you from a serious wound. No... Remember this, nothing is true... Everything is permitted."

Jaune stared at me readjusting his jaw.

Jaune: "How... Can you say that? It sounds like you want to kill people. Whether good or bad."

I sighed and stepped back, shaking my head. Then raised three fingers.

Y/N: "There are three... Only Rules. Important rules that you must follow and learn. 1st The most important one... Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent. 2nd Hide in plain sight. 3rd Never compromise..."

I stopped and retracted my third finger.

Jaune: "What?"

Y/N: "Never compromise one's self in the face of an enemy."

Jaune: "What does that mean?"

Y/N: "To never sell out your home, your people... Your family when things get rough. Live and die for them, never offer them up as tribute."

Jaune: "That's... Dark... I never knew a war would get that bad."

I sighed and nodded sheathing my blade.

Y/N: "You'd be surprised."

I fixed my gauntlet and spun around to Jaune.

Y/N: "Anyway, that's not important now... Anything else you want to train in?"

Jaune: "Well I was hoping you could teach how to run on those trees and stuff."

I shrugged my shoulders. Then passed Jaune his weapons back.

Y/N: "Well we'd have train in the forest for that one... And we'd need work on your balance."

Jaune: "I've got great balance-"

I craned his neck to the side to show him, making him notice he was on the edge of the roof. I could hear his teeth chatter making me laugh.

Y/N: "Be aware of your surroundings Jaune. Besides, I have ways of training you that doesn't require you to fall off a rooftop."

Jaune: "Thank you for bringing in my fear of heights into it."

I chuckled as I stood beside him. Closer to the edge than even he.

Y/N: "Had a fear of heights myself..."

Jaune: "What do you..." He peers over the edge and gulps. "Do?"

Y/N: "You try to understand where the fear comes from... For me, it wasn't the fact of falling. It was missing a branch, a rooftop or maybe not even have enough speed for the next jump... So I took notes. I started to understand what I could do... and what I couldn't do."

Jaune: "Then you just got over it?"

I nodded.

Y/N: "It's like learning how to fight... No one is born with that skill. It comes over time, just like any other skill. But, over time you will notice the changes in yourself and in your abilities."

Jaune: "Cool... So how do we start."

Y/N: "Well preferably on the ground for you, then we'd need an obstacle course of some kind so we can test you on your... Balance."

Jaune chuckled as I turned to him and smiled. However, soon enough our little moment was cut short when the door leading to the roof opens revealing team JNPR.

Nora: "Morning you two."

Pyhrra: "How was training?"

Jaune scratched the back of his neck as he chuckled.

Jaune: "Good, actually learned a few things."

Ren: "Is that so... Maybe I should join this training regimen."

Y/N: "Could be fun."

Jaune chuckled and walked off, while I scratched my chin in thought.

Pyrrha: 'What's wrong?"

Y/N: "I feel like... I'm forgetting something."

Slowly I started to scratch my neck in thought as I walked beside Ren and Nora.

Ren: "Maybe it's something you need?"

Nora: "Like pancakes, Ren makes the best pancakes."

Y/N: "No... I don't think it's breakfast."

Jaune: "You sure... I'm starving."

Said Jaune as he grabbed his stomach, I shook my head and then felt for my Scroll. Slowly going through a checklist of things that needed to be done. However, when I stopped on the last thing from the previous night.

I mentally scorned myself.

Y/N: "Oh boy..."

[Time Skip]

Y/N: "Sorry... For being late."

I said as I watched team RWBY waiting for me at the entrance of the city, I had forgotten Weiss had said something of being... Something of something, I'd be honest when I said I was running on maybe two hours of sleep or less when she spoke to me the day before.

Weiss: "Well, at least you showed up."

I groaned as Ruby and Yang mouthed the words. 'Sorry' as we started to walk down the city street. Noticing street lights, balloons and so on. It was quite a large set of party equipment out on the street.

Y/N: "Am I missing something... Or is the city holding a party?"

Weiss: "You're telling me you've never heard of the Vytal Festival?"

I nodded as I walked beside Blake.

Y/N: "I'm not exactly from this continent, remember?"

Ruby: "I sometimes forget that."

Weiss: "Well, the Vytal Festival is a festival dedicated to the cultures of Remnant and the outside world. There's dances, parades, and tournaments. Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking."

She seemed to bounce off those words as she strolled on ahead in a skip, while I looked to Blake raising an eyebrow.

Y/N: "Sounds nice and all... But, I'm not seeing any flags suggesting the cultures of the world. I mostly see... Well, Remnant flags."

Weiss: "Oh trust me it will be simply wonderful."

I nodded as we carried along, passing stores and shops on the side of the road. Passing Spain, France, and German flags. I even started to notice one of the more... Workers behind the german set wearing lederhosen.

He waved us by and spoke up.

"Guten Morgen, meine lieben freude." [Good morning my dear friends]

The girls simply nodded as I walked over to the man.

"Guten morgen, wann wird der laden offen?" [Good morning, when will your store be up?]

He seemed to light up when I said that as he, shook my hand and we spoke to one quickly in the German language after a while, we walked off as he got on with his work. Yet as we kept on walking the girls turned to me, making me roll my eyes.

Y/N: "What? What's wrong?"

Yang: "You can understand him?"

I nodded.

Y/N: "Yes... Spent some time in Germany and Switzerland. German is a useful language up there. Although not my best-spoken language."

Blake: "Aren't you full of surprises."

I chuckled and smiled.

Y/N: "I suppose... Spend a long enough time anywhere you pick up some of the words."

Weiss: "So how many languages can you speak?"

Y/N: "Enough... Enough to get me by."

Ruby: "Wow! That's so cool!"

Ruby strolled beside me a bunch of odd questions, as I tried to answer as many of them trying not to laugh. But soon enough Weiss, the leader of this little event stops and were all staring at the docks. Making Ruby grab her nose in disgust.

Ruby: "Stinky..."

Yang: "So explain to me again why we're spending our Saturday morning visiting the stupid docks?"

Weiss: "I've heard that students visiting 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."

I raised an eyebrow at that comment making Blake turn to me with a giggle, as she whispered into my ear.

Blake: "She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament."

Weiss spun around doing nearly a complete one-eighty as she stared at Blake and me.

Weiss: "You can't prove that."

Ruby: "Wow... That's new."

I turned to where Ruby was staring and looked at the second dust store that Roman has hit this month, he's been acting very carefully ever since I arrived. Most importantly he's been doing these jobs so fast that by the time I get to the area he struck, there would be no one there.

Making me personally groan, especially since any leads, I did have. We're now failing miserably.

Ruby: "You guys want to check it out?"

The team nodded, while I stayed back and watched the ships passing by. Even from hear I could hear their conversation about finding roman and even the mention of the White Fang, especially with how Blake stood for them.

Y/N: 'Oh. Blake... If you only knew the truth about them.'

"HEY STOP THAT FAUNUS!"

I turned around to see a kid close to our age running down the pathway of a ship, he had blond hair and a tail, he wore denim pants and a white shirt. He was outpacing the guards chasing after him, making me chuckle.

Y/N: 'Another thief has entered the city.'

"Thanks for the ride guys!"

I watched the faunus leap off the boat and then hang upside down on one of the few lap posts chuckling as the people started to clutter around him.

"YOU NO GOOD STOWAWAY!"

"Hey! A 'No-good' stow-away would have been caught. I'm a great stow-away."

As he finished that sentence, I started to chuckle and watched Ruby and the gang walk to my side watching the show as well. However, as we watched faunus one of the police officers had thrown a stone at him making him dodge to the side.

"Hey, get down from there this instant!"

Said one of the police officers nearby, the faunus simply chuckled and leaped away as he ran past our little group. I watched him wink at Blake making me chuckle as she stared in disbelief.

However Weiss the only active member.

Weiss: "After him!"

I sighed and turned to Blake who was still shocked by what had happened while her team rush on ahead. Making me snigger.

Y/N: "Come on kitty cat, you're not going to let him get away that easily. Are you?"

Blake stared at me as I ran after the faunus, as she screamed at me.

Blake: "Don't call me that!"

Y/N: "Sure whatever you say..."

We chased after the faunus, I was coming up behind Weiss and slowly passing her. As he went around the corner I overtook Weiss and saw a redhead to close and did a quick hook and run technique passing her in an instant making her stare at me.

Y/N: "Sorry!"

Wrong time to say that as I watched Weiss actually run into the poor girl. While I turned back to the faunus running off, I picked up the pace as he started to take the roof's leaving the cops behind.

Y/N: 'Not bad kid.'

I fired off my grapple and took to the rooftop, meeting the Faunus leaping onto another roof as I stood there waiting for him.

"What!"

Y/N: "Hey buddy-"

He leaped over my head and watched him run onto the rooftops then chuckled.

Y/N: 'Fine with me!'

I leaped and started running on a line connecting me to the other side of the street as we raced one another.

Y/N: 'I needed a good run, anyway.'

For the next few minutes, we sprinted down the city, over the rooftops. Even one time poor a woman's house until he finally stopped and we were on the same rooftop again, he chuckled pulling out two nunchucks as I went for my sword.

Y/N: "Let's not do anything rash here friend."

Faunus: "Right..."

He leaped and as he swung his weapon, I decided to do the simplest thing so as I blocked his incoming strike, I flicked my wrist allowing it to fire one of the few sleeping darts that I had inside and implant it in his neck.

Grabbing his neck, he dropped his weapon and I caught him as he slowly started to doze off. He tried to speak up as I placed him on the floor.

Y/N: "Yeah... Didn't really have a chance."

[Time Skip]

Sun: "At that's about it."

I watched Son slurp up a small bowl of noddles as I pull finish writing the notes on my notepad and give Sun Wukong a quick salute.

Y/N: "Thanks for the info."

Sun: "No problem, so this is really being used in the school newspaper?"

Y/N: "That's what they told me."

I took a quick sip of my soda and nodded along, as I come up with an excuse. More importantly start to finally eat, while he chuckles along.

Sun: "Well, if I knew I was this important I would've come sooner."

I chuckled and nodded as I did into my own bowl of noodles, after the little incident with Son I decided to act as an actual ambassador showing him around along with grabbing some dinner with him.

Y/N: "Well just consider this as thank you and you were impressive back there, moving around the urban environment as you did. That's not a common feat, people just do?"

Sun: "Really... I do it tons of time back in Vacuo and even more in Mistral. It's fun... Of course, I got into a bit of trouble."

Y/N: "I'd imagine so... Anyway."

I whipped my lip and chuckled tip the waiter, the turned to Sun as he strolled beside me.

Y/N: "Come on, let me take you to Beacon. Sure you must be exhausted after today."

Sun: "Like you have...No idea."

[Time Skip]

For the remainder of the walk home, I got to understand Sun a lot more. Personally seemed like a good person and had the natural talents of a thief, if nothing else La Volpe would have enjoyed robbing with him.

Soon enough we reached the dorms and I was about to lead him to team RWBY's room when I heard the commotion going on inside between Blake and Weiss.

Weiss: "You realize you're defending an organization that hates humanity, don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil."

Blake: "There's no such thing as 'Pure Evil!' Why do you think they hate humanity so much-"

Sun grabbed my shoulder and spoke in a hushed tone.

Sun: "I think... We should leave them be."

Y/N: "I'd agree with you, except... I think you may end this little battle between the two."

Sun: "Listen... I get we just met and all. But I don't think-"

I couldn't hear Sun as the room started to erupt in a roar.

Weiss: "PEOPLE LIKE ME!??"

Blake: "YOU'RE DISCRIMINATORY!"

Weiss: "I'M A VICTIM!"

I stopped and stared at Sun as we huddled closer to the wall to listen.

Weiss: "You want to know. Why I despise 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. 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... You want to know why I despise the White Fang!? It's because they're a bunch of liars! Thieves! And Murderers!"

Blake: "Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!"

I stopped and stared at Sun for a moment then turned just as the door swung open near hitting both Sun and me, watched Blake run out of the room. I turned to Sun shrugging my shoulders.

Y/N: "Guess we'll have introductions later."

Sun: "You think?"

We both ran after Blake and found her outside taking off her bow, I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose.

Y/N: 'I never get the easy jobs."

Blake: "Y/N... I didn't want to lie-"

Y/N: "It's OK... I understand."

Blake: "You... Do?"

I nodded stepping closer to her as she did the same to me, I wanted to-

Sun: "Um, listen..."

Blake: "Who are-"

Y/N: "Sun Wukong our little faunus friend from before."

She smiled and I watched Ruby running out of the building.

Y/N: "You can run Blake... But is that the best decision?"

I turned to her and she looked up to me, as her hands turned to a fist.

Blake: "No... But, I need it... Some time."

I nodded and watched her disappear along with Sun who I simply saluted as the two disappeared into the night.

Ruby: "Blake! Blake!"

She stopped beside me and turned to me.

Ruby: "What are you doing? Help me!"

Y/N: "She doesn't want help... She needs time. To think, to process everything and I think you do too."

[Blake Pov]

It was the following day after... I admitted to being a white fan member and was having some trouble. However, my 'guest' has been speaking for nearly both of us now

Sun: "Finally she speaks, nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks."

I glared at him making him chuckle.

Sun: "See like that."

I sighed and looked the other way.

Blake: "Sun... are you familiar with the white fang?"

Sun: "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."

I raised an eyebrow making him quiet down.

Blake: "I was... Once a member of the white fang."

At that moment I watched Sun's eyes dart out his eyes as he chokes on his drink.

Sun: "I didn't mean... Anything of that to you of course."

Blake: "Right... Listen, I was a member for most of my life. Actually, you could almost say 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 faunus."

I sighed leaning back into my chair as I remember those days.

Blake: "Of course, despite being promised equality, the faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as the voice of our people... And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. And I actually thought we were making a difference... But I was just a youthful optimist..."

I turned in my seat and bit my thumb.

Sun: "What?"

Blake: "Five years ago. Our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly our peaceful protests were being replaced with organizing attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us. Hijacked cargo from companies that used faunus labor. And the worst part... It was working, we were being treated as equals. But not out of respect... Out of fear. So... I did the one thing that I thought was right. I left them and decided to no longer use my skills for violence. Instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a huntress."

Sun: "Wow... That's intense."

Y/N: "I'll say."

We turned and found Y/N waving at us from the roof. My jaw hung as he showed us both a cheeky smile.

Blake: "You were listening in?"

Y/N: "Kind of... I was going to meet up with you and heard everything as I got closer. I didn't want to interrupt."

Sun turned to him holding out his arms.

Sun: "How did you find us?"

Y/N pulled out his scrolls showing a map of two blinking dots on the screen. With both our names on them.

Y/N: "You do know... That there is a lot of tracking software in scrolls and phones right. It was as simple as pushing a button. However, I did want to speak to both of you, after last night's incident."

I looked to the floor as Sun moves to the side, allowing Y/N to jump onto the terrace where we sat and ate.

Blake: "Now you know... Both of you know."

Sun: "Blake... I'm so sorry."

Y/N was looking at his hand and spoke up.

Y/N: "I've learned in this life, equality is not always an easy slope to walk up and sometimes is the same thing as we thought. Take it from someone that has had his fair share of people hating him for simply being different. Even some simply wanting to hurt you for having a friend who was not of the same skin."

Blake: "It's not the same."

Y/N: "I'm not saying it is... But I understand the reason for leaving your group, your family. I can personally respect what you've done... It's never easy walking away from something that. Those people were your brothers and sisters."

I stared at him and was surprised to hear him say that.

Blake: "I... Thank you."

Sun looked at the two of us, unsure of what to say.

Sun: "OK... This is sweet and all. But what do we do now?"

Y/N: "That's why I'm here... You want to prove the White Fang isn't responsible for those crimes right?"

I nodded and Y/N smiled.

Y/N: "Good, because I know there's going to be another shipment of dust coming in from the docks. It's going to be hit tonight are both ready?"

[Time Skip]

[Y/N's Pov]

Sun: "Did I miss anything?"

I turned to Son along with Blake. Only to find him holding a bushel of apples in his arm.

Blake: "Not really... They've moved their crates onto the boat. But besides that... Nothing."

Son: "Cool... Stole you guys some food."

He held out an apple and I took, slowly starting to eat. As I got to my feet. Being on my stomach for too long had started to annoy me since Blake thought it was a good idea.

Y/N: "Thank you."

Blake: "Do you always break the law without a second thought?"

I sighed and shook my head.

Son: "Hey, weren't you in a cult."

Blake sent him a glare and he looked the other way.

Son: "Ok... too soon."

Y/N: "Shush you two... We've got company."

I pointed to the sky and found bullhead flying over us, the wind pushed our hair aside as the ship slowly docks and white fang stepped out.

Blake: "Oh no..."

Sun: "Is that them?"

I watched as twenty or so White Fang members step out of the ship, quickly running over to the crates and lifting them up.

Y/N: "Yup... That's them."

Son looked at me then to Blake who was looking the other way now.

Son: "You really didn't think they were behind this, did you?"

Blake: "No... I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right."

I looked to Blake then to the White Fang running around down below, then I found him walking out of the ship... and not alone.

Roman: "Hey! What's the hold-up!?"

Roman and that Templar apprentice had just stepped out of the ship, I slowly started to rub my chin in thought.

Y/N: 'He's here... With him and here I was hoping it was an odd occurrence.'

Blake: "This isn't right... The White Fang would never work with a human."

Blake went for her blade and stood up.

Blake: "Especially one like him."

Before either Son and I could stop her she's leaped off the roof, bounding straight towards Roman.

Son: "Oh... boy, what do we do now?"

I tightened my gauntlet on my left arm then spoke to Son.

Y/N: "We need to be careful. Most importantly... Don't fight that guy with the armor on."

Son: "Why do-"

I didn't answer as I leaped in after Blake. With Son following closely behind. As Roman stepped back and was giving orders to his men, she struck placing her blade onto Roman's throat.

Roman: "What the... Oh for-"

Blake: "Nobody move!"

She had just called out making all of the White Fang turn to her, just as the apprentice did the same. However, unlike the White Fang members who stopped dead in their tracks, he kept on walking.

Blake: "I'll kill him I swear!"

The apprentice now nearly two meters away from Blake stops however Roman spoke up.

Roman: "What is wrong with you... She will-"

Before either Blake or Roman could see it, the apprentice had brought up a handgun and fired at Blake. She jumped back as the weapon was fired, it connected. But she brought up her aura just in time.

However, Roman wasn't as pleased standing up and massaging his neck.

Roman: "Dammit, you're supposed to be my bodyguard. Like your little master said... So I expect you to save me and not kill me!!!"

Sun leaped out the Shadows running over to Blake's aid, just as the Apprentice charged. I met him as he swung his mace down towards my friends, my blade holding his weapon back.

As Blake and Son stare at me.

Y/N: "That's just rude..."

We neither one of us giving an inch.

Roman: "Well isn't this interesting... I get kitty cat over here, monkey boy and the freak that hides in shadows."

Y/N: "I see your salty as ever bastardo!"

I pushed the mace back and tackled the apprentice with my shoulder, pushing him back as he slowly gets to his feet cracking his neck from side to side.

Son: "We'll take him together."

I pushed him back and smiled.

Y/N: "No... This is my fight. Son... Watch over Blake and handle the White Fang."

The apprentice held up two fingers beckoning me forwards. While I chuckled spinning my blade in hand pleased.

Y/N: "Oh you're going to get it."

I sprinted towards him and swung my sword. But he blocked it with his mace. Then both of us held each other's weapons in our offhand stopping us dead center. Then suddenly I'm thrown over the apprentice as he leans back.

But as I'm thrown, then bounce to my feet. He raised his handgun and fires, I dived to the side hiding behind a container labeled Schnee dust company. Then leaped into the shadows of the night as he comes charging around the corner.

His pistol was the first, my hand caught as I used the butt of my blade against his mask, forcing him back and dropping the weapon. I quickly did a spin kick into his chest knocking him back.

As he stared up at me, still silent. But behind that mask... I could see his anger boiling up.

Y/N: "You're not as good as you thought!"

He got to his feet again and charged with his mace raised.

For the next few minutes, our weapons connected, either parrying or blocking another attack. It was a dance, he was good and I was surprised he could move given that armor large build.

Yet I could tell he was getting tired and the strength he once met was now disappearing, when he swung again... He missed me entirely, as my blade was low and close to his abdomen. Swinging my blade up I had reached a part of his armor where the leather was connected to the metal, taking part... If not most of his abdomen and chest piece.

However, as I spun around expecting a deep cut that had wounded him, he was still standing. Like nothing had happened, then I noticed this dark pink aura and I mentally groaned.

Y/N: 'Of course you would have an aura.'

This seemed to make the apprentice chuckle as he swung his mace down. Striking down on my left shoulder making me scream and step back. I didn't feel it, my aura had worked... But it still sent me flying me back.

However even this made the Templar stare at me for a second.

Y/N: "Don't look so surprised... You're not the first to awaken it."

For the next few minutes we charge at one another again, and again. Looking for openings in armor and aura. But soon enough, I started gaining ground. Pushing him back!

Forcing him back!

As his mace is swung from side to side, I had caught it with my free hand then kicked him back making him even let go of his mace. As he's sent flying scarping the ground in his armor and as he looked up, the mace had just been flung striking his skull and forcing him onto his back.

Depleting him of his aura and his denting his mask. He skidded across the floor as his body started to twitch. His hand was reaching for the weapon but was stopped as two throwing knives pin his hand down.

Within a second I landed onto his chest bringing out my hidden blade as my other hand tore off the helmet then placed it on his exposed throat.

Y/N: "Where are your masters Templar!"

When the mask was finally off, I was... Personally confused, this man... No this woman maybe in her early thirties had a broken nose thanks to the mace. Yet her face was littered with old cuts and most importantly she was faunus...

Those cut antlers appearing out of her head, even hidden behind her bands they weren't that hard to miss. But I pushed that aside and pushed the blade on her throat.

Y/N: "Where are they!"

She didn't answer and smiled making growl, revealing my teeth white teeth in something of a growl.

Y/N: "Answer!"

She only opened her mouth and I noticed her tongue...

It was missing.

Cut out.

Then I noticed her yellow teeth and the anger in her eyes. Suddenly I felt something strike the back of my head. Making me topple to the side and see one of the white fang members holding her mace, then helping her up.

White fang: "We need to get out here!"

She nodded and looked at me, my hood was no longer hiding my face and she smiled. Making her spit at my feet, then hobbled away. I wanted to go after, but my vision was fading.

Y/N: "I'm... Not... Letting You... GETAWAY!"

"KILL THEM!"

At that moment, my fatigue was gone as I felt something come over me. It was unlike anything I've ever felt before. Anger was the only way to describe it... was the craving of blood.

I had jumped to my feet without even trying. Then sprinted towards my enemy raising just as the white fang leader turned around to see me taking the head clean off.

I saw the moment of terror in his eyes as he noticed his own death, my mouth opened wide and she started to hobble away dropping to the floor as my hand grabbed her head as a whole.

Then pushed her head down... I could hear the head crack in my hand, the screams she wanted to let out. Then a splatter of blood and bodily fluids. My mouth was open and I seemed to be smiling with what I had done.

Then I closed my eyes... Utter darkness was all I saw, then I was gasping for air. Panting and found myself kneeling on the ground. But there was no blood where I stood... No, it was clean cement.

But I heard the breathing... Then craned my head up to see... A Grimm, the Ursa I had killed with Jaune was hovering above the Templar's body and ripping it to shreds.

Y/N: "Stop!"

It turned and looked at me... I took a deep breath and stood up. Staring it down.

Y/N: "STOP! NOW!"

It didn't listen and charged at me it's head acting as a battering ram, sending me backward into one of the crates. I landed on the floor and was now being trampled over by the Grimm as his jaw hovered above my face.

Y/N: "I will not die by your hand..."

I thrust both my hands into the Grimm's throat, my hidden blades sinking deep into its throat. I could hear the gurgle coming out and flung my arms out watching this black ooze leak out its neck.

Then disappear.

Y/N: "Why... Didn't you... Listen."

I grabbed my head for a moment, feeling the pain pulsate for the briefest of moments. Then I slowly sat up and got to my feet...

Y/N: "Why couldn't I stop him..."

Son: "Y/N!"

Y/N: "Here!"

[Time Skip]

I sat across from Ozpin, it was late in the evening. My arms were crossed as I sat across from Ozpin in his office.

After the events of that fight and team RWBY making up with Blake, I had immediately come to Ozpin. I had been thinking about that faunus being a Templar... Of all things.

Y/N: "How couldn't I see this coming?"

Ozpin had just poured me a cup of coffee, leaning back in his chair. Taking a quick sip.

Ozpin: "Agreed."

I turned to him as he nodded.

Ozpin: "How we couldn't see this coming, is beyond me. The White Fang is their own little militia and has its own little mission. But if what you say is true, about these Templars, then there is more than just one man involved."

I took a sip of my coffee, quickly sticking out my tongue in disgust and placing two sugars in it.

Y/N: "We're talking about something I've never seen... A Faunus willingly joined the Templars."

Ozpin: "Is that really a stretch?"

I turned to Ozpin and nodded.

I had known that it's more than possible. But this had also brought in a larger much darker fear than I thought to light.

Y/N: "Of course it is... It means they've been here for far longer than we initially thought. That I thought, this isn't just some form of black market deal that they can profit from. This is..."

Ozpin: "Something else... Something that you don't agree with."

I nodded taking another sip of my coffee, then leaned back in my chair as I tapped my index fingers together.

Y/N: "The outside world wasn't allowed to enter Remnant less than fifty years ago. Due to the pact of your continents agreement. Yet, that knowledge frightens me... To have Templars here. I must speak to my superiors."

I had just got up from my seat when Ozpin spoke up.

Ozpin: "And what of this."

I turned to see Ozpin watching my fight with the Templar.

Y/N: "You were spying on me."

Ozpin: "No... There were cameras set up at the port. However, what interested me, is this."

He speeds up the fight... Then to the moment I had summoned or had been placed in that trance where my semblance took place, the Grimm ripping those two apart. Ozpin turned to me as I looked at the other way.

Ozpin: "It was more than a simple fight."

I scratched my chin, then clicked my pinkie back in place, remember from the fight.

Ozpin: "Semblances... Often tell us a lot about a person."

Y/N: "I didn't want to do that."

Ozpin: "I'm aware."

He stopped the video to where I had killed the grimm.

Ozpin: "I'm aware you have been training in your semblance and have been seeking advice in controlling it. However, a semblance that could turn on its very own wielder... It is dangerous and I can't allow it in Beacon."

I sat back in the chair and stared at Ozpin.

Y/N: "So... Your suggesting I leave and deal with this on my own?"

Ozpin titled his head from side to side.

Ozpin: "I thought of that... Yet, I believe that a teacher would be more appropriate in handling this new power. I have just the man, he is someone who is more than willing to help someone like you. Given how even he... Can't control his very own semblance."

I leaned back in my seat and took a deep breath.

Y/N: "I see... When do I leave?"

[Time Skip]

Sun: "Come on Blake, it'll be fun."

Blake: "I'm not saying it is, I'm just wondering why you're bothering me right now."

Team RWBY was currently leaving class and heading back to their rooms, along with team JNPR. They had only entered their rooms a few short minutes ago, Sun had just barged in sitting on Ruby's bed as he watches her play a game on her scroll.

Sun: "Come on, I need a tour guide around Vale. Besides, it's always fun to do it as a group."

Blake was reading one of her many books and sighed turning to Sun, then rolling her eyes.

Blake: "Listen to Son... I just, need some alone time OK."

Son: "OK."

Ruby: "Ooo, I have an idea. Why don't you go explore Vale with Y/N, Son?"

Wiess was sitting at one of the desks in the room, fixing her hair and make-up.

Weiss: "That's actually not a terrible idea Ruby."

Ruby: "Thank you... Wait what?"

Yang: "Sounds kind of fun actually... Explore Vale and then grab diner somewhere in town. I might actually join you guys."

Son happy go lucky personality, suddenly stopped.

Son: "I would... But I haven't seen him, since the peer?"

Blake: "You haven't seen him since then?"

Son: "I don't exactly share a room with the guy."

Weiss stopped brushing her hair and turned to the group.

Weiss: "Actually, I haven't seen him in class today, have any of you?"

Ruby: "No."

Yang: "Nope."

Blake brought down her book and pulled out her scroll then quickly started to bring up his name on her contacts.

Ruby: "Whatcha doin?"

Blake: "Calling Y/N, he gave me his number a while back maybe you can meet up with him in Vale Son."

However, this comment caught Yang by surprise.

Yang: "You've got his number?"

Blake turned to her friends stopping through mid-scroll.

Blake: "Yeah... Didn't he give you his?"

Yang: "Raise your hand if you have Y/N's number."

None of team RWBY had his number except for Blake, making her stare at her phone as she started to blush. Her ears started to bend forwards as she shook this feeling off and found his number.

Slowly the phone started to ring and she put it on her ear, as Yang moved closer as she tried to listen in on the conversation. Wasn't that hard as Y/N's voice could be heard even with it placed by Blake's ear.

Y/N: "Blake, this is a surprise. Not often do I get calls from you."

Blake chuckled and smiled.

Blake: "Yeah well... Listen we were planning on exploring a bit of the city with Son and we were kind of hoping you'd come along... I mean of course if that's if you want to."

Y/N chuckled.

Y/N: "I'd love to... But, I can't."

Yang: "Why?"

Blake turned to Yang who has her ear nearly beside Blake's hand holding up her phone.

Y/N: "Am I on speaker?"

Blake: "No... Yang is just trying to listen in."

Y/N chuckled again and Blake although unsure why could tell he was smiling on the other side.

Y/N: "That's fine... Um listen, I kind of had to leave Beacon in a hurry this morning. My father's friend isn't too great, said he needed help. So I might not be back in time to go exploring with you guys."

Yang: "How long do you think you might be?"

Blake had pushed Yang off her head as the blond seemed to giggle at Blake's antics.

Blake: "How long will you be?"

Y/N seemed to suck on a tooth for a moment and Blake knew his answer before he could even answer.

Y/N: "I don't know... I might only see you guys. Next term."

Blake: "Well we-"

At that moment Blake heard someone on the other line, he had a rough voice and was loud enough that even she could hear.

???: "Hey kid, what's taking so long we need to leave now."

Y/N: "Listen, Blake, I'll call you later. But, it was... Good hearing your voice. I'll see you soon."

Blake: "Yeah... See you soon."

Y/N: "Stay safe kitty cat."

The phone call ended and Blake blushed from ear to ear, as Yang stared at Blake, she had moved onto the bed and heard that last comment.

Yang: "Oh... Isn't he sweet~"

Blake: "Shut up!"
