Chapter 2
(Third POV)
Velvet couldn't stop questioning what happened that night. She was saved by a man in a hood. She grinned with pure joy, as she told her story to team RWBY and JNPR as they all grabbed lunch together.
Most of them looked at her in awe she made it sound like a hero had come to Vale.
Blake was the first to break the silence
Blake"So... So some guy came out of nowhere and then vanishes without a trace?"
Velvet "I know right! it might sound weird. But if he didn't step in to help me I don't know what those men would have done?"
Weiss slammed her coffee mug on the table, making everyone turn to her direction.
Weiss: "Listen, take no offense to this Velvet. But, I assume everything you said before is a lie. My reason, your training to be huntress, you should have been able to handle those men."
Velvet slammed both her hand down on the table, as she stared Weiss down
Velvet " But it's true! All of it... You believe me don't you Ruby. "
Ruby jumped back, shocked that she was being called out and wasn't prepared.
Ruby: "Um, Velvet I trust you.... but-"
Velvet: "Wait, do you all think I made this up. But I didn't, i swear!"
The group looked at each of there members, unsure how to tell her the bad news.
Jaune: "Ahhh, i think-"
Velvet: "Does anyone believe me?"
???: "I believe you."
They all turn around spotting Professor Ozpin.
Velvet had a slight blush on her cheeks. She remembers saying a few things that might get herself in trouble. She looked at Ozpin
Velvet: "So, you believe me?"
Velvet didn't dare look the teacher in the eyes, her fingers had slowly started circle one another, as she tried to take deep breaths.
Velvet: "You're not a-angry, a-about me going to a c-club are you?"
Ozpin straightened up, as he takes a swig of his coffee, then turns to Velvet
Ozpin: "Miss Velvet, what you do in your free time. Is your own business. not mine, i do not judge my students on there after school hours."
Velvet let out a sigh of relief.
Ozpin: "However, I suggest not telling Miss Good Witch this story, she may not... Act as kindly as i."
Velvet finally looked and revealing a gentle smile.
Velvet: "Thank you, but professor Ozpin, why do you believe me?"
Ozpin merely tapped his glasses and leaned closer to Velvet for only a moment.
Ozpin: "Miss Velvet, I don't believe you would make up such a story up unless it wasn't true. However, I only need one detail to believe you?"
He leans closer to her, practically staring into her bring brown eyes.
Ozpin: "Now, Ms. Velvet. Did the hooded figure have an Insignia of some kind on him?"
Velvet moved back a bit perplex and a little attacked too.
Velvet "A what sir?"
Ozpin "An Insignia, a symbol of some kind. It should be somewhere around his body. Neck, arms, shirt, hood anything. If what you say is true, Then there must be a way of identifying this individual."
Velvet thought for a moment... The fight was so fast, she couldn't even tell what kind of jacket color her savior wore. But she did get a good look at him. His arm... Yes, his arm.
Velvet: "I don't know... how to explain it.... but he had this funny triangle shape on his left arm. But it wasn't a triangle it was cut off from the bottom an-"
Before she could finish her sentence, the bell had just rung...
Ozpin groaned under his breath.
Ozpin: "Ladies and Gentlemen, it seems it's time for class." He bids them fair well as they leave the cafeteria.
As the door shut. Ozpin merely stared off into the distance.
Ozpin: "Hmmm, I wonder... could it be them?"
Out of nowhere Ms. Good Witch was standing right beside Ozpin, as she watches the man contemplate.
Glynda "Ozpin, is everything all right, you seem... distant."
Ozpin merely nodded. As he focused on the task at hand.
Ozpin "Glynda remind me, you said one of our investors is sending us a big shipment of dust for the students correct?"
Glynda smiled it was rare that Ozpin cared about investors
Glynda: "Why yes. A few hundred kilograms of the stuff. I believe it was from the Schnee company as well as many other companies... I think it was for students that couldn't afford dust or didn't know how to use it, why do you ask Ozpin?"
Ozpins cane tapped the floor twice and it sent a signal to Glynda's brain, something didn't seem right.
Ozpin "I believe it may be stolen later on today, and I would very much like to see if it does..."
Glynda was perplexed by what Ozpin said.
Glynda: "Do you want me to double the guards or go myself, sir?"
Ozpin: "Glynda that's not what I asked, but I will take it under notion."
He strolls out of the hall... stopping at the door and turns back to Glynda.
Ozpin: "However, may I trouble you tonight. I do believe that we may see a special occurrence this evening."
With that Ozpin had left the cafeteria and Glynda was merely questioning his intentions.

Y/N POV
It was close to midnight. You were standing on top of one of the buildings near the docks... You groaned, from what you've gathered.
Roman Torchwick has been stealing a good deal of dust from just about anywhere... Turns out, he's been stealing so much of the stuff that a pretty big shipment of dust will be arriving tonight... Hoping to restock a lot of the store's stolen dust from before.
Plus, some of it was going somewhere else. But you didn't follow that lead. It didn't matter to you. What mattered, was Torchwick.
Nothing seemed to be occurring for a good hour or so.
The docks were empty and no one there.
However, the silence soon died, a bullhead had landed near the docks, as the bay door opens about twenty men jumped out of the bullhead and ran for the cargo room full of dust.
You couldn't tell if any of them were Torchwick they all wore masks that looked like monsters.

A few minutes go by and they find the dust and start packing it into the bullhead. For a while, you didn't know if Roman would show up. Until two men accidentally drop one of the crates.
Torchwick had finally come out of his resting place in the Bullhead he fit the description Ezio gave you to a T.
He strolled up to the two men who dropped the crate, then smacked both of them with the use of his cane.
As he finally stopped, he grabbed a cigar from his pocket and lit it as he spoke to his men.
Roman: "What is wrong with you animals, don't drop the merchandise!"
Quickly saying they're sorry, they pick up the crate and walk faster to the bullhead.
Roman: "Come on you animals, let's move it, let's move it.... We're not exactly the most inconspicuous group out here."
He turns back spotting a crate half open and digs through its contents pulling out a white crystal.
Roman: "Have you ever seen something more precious, more valuable than this?"
He states to one of his follower's, who merely nods out of fear. Roman puts the gem back in the case and begins to walk back to the bullhead.
But you had just leaped out your hiding spot. Landing twenty meters away from Roman and his goons... You stood out in the open for all to see.
Roam merely smirks as he studies you.
Roman: "And, who exactly are you? The Easter bunny?"
(Y/N): "Roman Torchwick you have the information I need, if you surrender I shall not harm you or your gang!" your voice was stern, you had hoped to intimidate him. However, it did the opposite.
Roman:"Ha,ha, hahaha. Oh, this guy is good... You know what... I'll do one better.
He snaps his fingers together and his men were readying their guns.
"Have at him boys" turn away from you with his cane resting on his shoulder. "Making him swiss."
but before they could even aim at you. You had dropped two smoke bombs from your hand littering the field with smoke you grabbed three knives in each hand... it had seemed that world was moving in slow motion... in a matter of seconds you flung your knives at your assailants disarming all six of them sprinting to your unarmed foes knocking them out in a manner of seconds.
Knocking out your last foe. You noticed more men approaching you this time with swords and daggers... circling you like predators
You took a defensive stance. One after another each man tried to hit you. But you were faster than them and they weren't able to counter any of your hits.
Finishing most of them off in a matter of seconds. One after another they fell like moths to the flame.
However, one man felt brave and decided to lunge at you with his dagger aimed at your throat.
But you grabbed the dagger before it even got close enough to your throat... You've sidestepped and grabbed a hold of his arm, a quick squeeze of your hand the opponent dropped his dagger which you caught with your free hand, then elbowing him in the face. You had knocked him out cold.
Yet, you couldn't relax as a blade comes for your back. But you were ready. you dived out of the way only missing the blade by a few centimeters. You study your foe as he tries to circle you, hoping to find an opening.
He seemed the leader of the bunch. But he was just another gang member to you. He held a Katana in his hands. Striking at you with a sweeping motion. You threw the dagger straight up into the air, not even trying to throw it at him. You had hoped this would catch him off guard, but he still swung his sword aiming for your chest. But ducked under the strike. He was about to swing his blade back at, but your gauntlet met the weapon before it could do any real damage.
The man stared you down hoping to push you back with brute strength, but you grab the hilt of his blade with your right and like magic the blade you threw in air lands in your free hand, you plunge the blade into your unsuspecting foe killing him with a quick stab to the throat. You turn around holding both the katana in your right and the dagger in your left.
You observe Torchwick, he had fear on his face, even if tired to hide it. Slowly you walked towards your eyes never leaving him.
Roman: "They don't make thugs like they use to do they."
You flashed him a girn, as you place the dagger on one of your free sheaths on your belt. Only Stopping a few meters away from Roman.
(Y/N) "Now Mr. Torchwick I want some information. Will you willing tell me, I or do I need to force it out of you?"
Roman weighs his options, then points his cane at you nonchalantly.
Roman: "Well, if I had to decide. On whether I would go down willingly. Or face my foe head-on."
He clicks a button on his cane. The bottom half of his cane opens up revealing a barrel pointed right at you
Roman "I would have to pick the latter option!"
Roman pressed a button and begins fire you. You were lucky enough to miss the first shot that was aimed right at you... You quickly dived into one of the alleyways, as one of the bullets skims your shoulder, but thankfully your armor held strong.
Roman: " Oh look how the mighty have fallen... Come out, come out where you are you?"
He notices a stir behind one of the trash cans.
Roman: "Found you!"
He kicks the debris aside to finding nothing. However, he hears a ticking noise and before he can respond an explosion sends him flying out of the alley, then skids him across the gravel as he stops near him. You appear out of the shadows, sping the katana in your fingers.
Roman "Now, that was a dirty trick..."
He starts to pick himself up about to fire the weapon again, but you closed the distance striking him with the katana in your hand. Yet somehow, he was able to block it just in time... You were staring each other centimeters away from one another now. A spot of laughter escaped your angry voice.
Y/N: " As dirty as your cane gun, bastardo (bastard)
For the next few minutes, you and Roman fought each other dishing out attacks while blocking and dodge.
You smirked Roman wasn't like his gang members... He was trained, still, there was a difference between you two, you are the better fighter and he knows it. As Roman delivers a vicious strike, with you parrying his weapon, he left himself open for just some seconds. But it was long enough for you to attack him.
So with a quick step to the side, you ducked underneath his blade and held his weapon at bay. You fist met his face. As you forced him grabbing his nose.
You flung your katana at his chest, missed at the last second, but you were right behind it and before he can stop you.
Your hidden blade was shown, it struck and cut Romans thigh and side. He swings his weapon back hoping to hit you, but you've dived missing his attack.
As you rolled, you picked up the katana again ready to strike.
A few seconds pass and Roman had cuts running down his legs, arms and even ripping through his shirt.
Roman was staggering back, trying to catch his breath. While you slowly made your way to him, resting the katana on your shoulder, hearing the droplets of blood on the concrete.
Roman: "Maybe, w-we can t-talk about, like civilized folk."
You stared him down and charged, your strike came down and Romans cane met it again. Yet your blade had suffered some damage and broke in two.
Roman grabs his cane and thrusts it into your stomach, but you caught the weapon in hand and kicked his leg. forcing him on knees. Then with your right hand, you strike Romans face with an open palm it knocked him back and made him drop his weapon. Then with a quick around, you strike Romans back, sending him to the floor.
Roman: "Ahh, ahh... Ahh. God!"
You threw the weapon up and catch it with your other hand, now holding the cane like a pistol. You kick Roman so he can now face you.
Roman: "We can st-ill ta-"
You stepped on his throat and placed the weapon his forehead. Your finger dancing on the tigger's edge.
Roman: "A-alright y-you bested m-me... no n-need to kill me, what is it you want?"
You step off his throat, but now have your foot on his shoulder.
Y/N "I'm looking for am immigrant in this country. Supposedly he's working with your group."
Roman: "So... Anything distinct about this guy or girl exactly... or did yo--"
You kicked him in the ribs and he was gasping for air... As he drops the hilt of the broken Katana, you kick it away and slowly start pushing the nozzle of Romans weapon into his skull.
Y/N: "You're alive because dead men don't talk! Remember that next time you decide to do something like that, understood?"
Roman couldn't move, but his eyes bounced up and down, signaling he understood.
Roman"Ok... Got it... I know only that someone's been helping our group out. For about a month or so... never met the guy. But from what I've heard from my superior. He seems legit. Giving us weapons armor all the nine yards.
(Y/N): "So nothing at all really... Where can I find your superior, what's the person's name?"
Roman: "Oh, you won't find her. She'll find you... her name is C---"
As he's about to finish his sentence the bullhead engine has just started again, You glanced back and spotted two of Romans men have gotten up. One of them charged you and knocked you off your feet.
Roman quickly got to his feet and ran as, grapple with your attacker. Your arms had wrapped around his neck.
CRACK.
The figure slumped down and you turned to roman, but his ship was already flying off, you raise your right arm, aiming at the hull, but they soon disappeared into the darkness and you mentally scream at yourself.
Y/N: 'Out of rage... What am i a child, I could've stopped him!!!'
You were furious and were about to scream until you heard the sirens screaming out.
Y/N: "They're nearly on top of me... I need to leave."
You ran to a nearby building firing your grappling hook and ran.
[Time skip brought to you by chibi (Y/N) running on top of buildings]
You had run probably at least run ten, twenty minutes now. It gave you enough distance, so the cops wouldn't find you.
You leaned against a brick wall as you had your head to the night sky trying to catch your breath. As your breathing finally calmed down, you activated your eagle vision and caught someone staring at you from afar.
Y/N: "I know your there, I spotted you while i ran from the docks!"
On cue, two people step out of the darkness... It was a man and a woman, they both look to be in their mid-forties... the man had a cane, while the women seemed to be holding a horsewhip...
Ozpin: "Well, I must say I'm surprised you spotted us?"
You prepared for a battle, grabbing two throwing knives from your shoulder while pulling out the dagger with your left.
Y/N: "What do you want!?"
You studied the two of them, they may look strange given the there clothing. But if they're anything like Roman, then might have a problem.
Ozpin: "We didn't come here looking for a brawl, quite the opposite. We came here to thank you."
This made you take a step back, after all. How did they know you would be here... And why are they thanking you? Something is off about this.
Y/N: "Alright... Say peace then."
Ozpin: "My name is Professor Ozpin, to my right in is college Glynda Good Witch... I'm the headmaster of Beacon. Have you heard of it?"
You finally stood up and nodded knowing there's no need for a fight.
You overhearing something about Beacon a while ago, it's some of special, school training the youth of this country to fight Grimm which are monsters only located in Vale. Giving them the title of Huntsmen or Huntresses if they pass. Most of the people that enter said school are deemed the best of the best. So why was he following you?
Ozpin: "Very good then, about two days ago. You saved a student of mine."
You did a small bow, letting him know it was nothing, after. It wasn't your first fight and certainly not your last.
Ozpin: "Velvet, that's her name. Spoke very highly of you and from what I've witnessed, was purely impressive. Which is why I'm suggesting you join Beacon. If you should accept. You will be taken in as a first-year student-"
Glynda, however, could not remain silent.
Glynda: "Ozpin you can't be serious. bringing him to Beacon... You saw what he did to those men?"
Ozpin: "Which is precisely why I brought you along Glynda... I told you tonight would be a special occasion and the reason, as I wanted the young man to be one of our students, so what do you say Mr..."
(Y/N) "That's for me to decide, whether or not to give you that information, but I am curious. If you're so fond of asking questions, why don't I start."
They studied you for a moment and nodded.
Y/N: "Hypothetically, what if I didn't want to join Beacon? What then?"
Ozpin speculates about it.
Ozpin: "Well, hypothetically speaking. I would let you go for now... But, I will be forced to hunt you down and send you to prison and or kill you if need be. However, this is a hypothetical question."
You grunted under your breath after hearing that. You don't need to trust them, but still... If they knew you were here. They can find you again and let's be honest. You don't need more enemies to fight against.
Y/N: "Next question, what will I be doing at this so-called school of yours? I'm not exactly a stray puppy you can bring home to mommy. So, what is my function at this school?"
Ozpin: "Quite simply, you will be a student by day, but by night... I'll aid you in dealing with Roman, he's someone that caused a bit of stir and you heard him right. Someone's aiding him. You scratch my back, I scratch yours."
You growled under your breath.
Y/N: 'This is a bad idea... But, not like I'm getting anywhere far, besides. These schools have more info about this place than I do.
Y/N: "Alright I'll join, your Beacon academy."
Ozpin looks gratified to hearing your answer, while Glynda wasn't as amused.
Ozpin: "Excellent, I will see you at the entrance at Beacon tomorrow, 10 am... sharp, understood Mr.?"
Y/N: "Y/N L/N."
Ozpin: "Very well Mr. L/N I shall see you tomorrow."
You nod and watch the two disappear and you leap from
