RWBY Dorm

"Would team JNPR please report to the headmasters office at once. Team JNPR to the headmasters office please." Ruby looked at Weiss and Blake with a grin.

"I wonder what kind of trouble they got themselves into this time." She said leaping off her bed. Weiss was brushing her hair in the mirror while Blake was searching through the closet to find some more formal clothes to wear.

"I'm sure we'll find out eventually, now hurry up and find some nicer clothes to wear." Weiss scolded as she shoved Ruby towards Blake.

"Why do we need to dress up for this anyway? It's not like we're meeting some big shot of a company or a celebrity." Ruby shot back as Blake began to undress her.

"No, but your sister is being returned today, so I figured we'd better look nice for the occasion. It's not everyday that your teammate gets freed from a sentencing early." Weiss said as she began to put her hair into her ponytail on the left side of her head. It had been 5 months since Yang had broken Mercury's leg on national TV during the Vytal Festival. Her team had found Mercury later that week hiding in a stolen airship repairing a prosthetic leg. He was exposed to have cheated during the match by using his partner Emeralds Semblance to trick the crowd. But by the time that the world knew the truth, it was too late.

Yang had been sentenced to 1 year outside the walls of the kingdom. A very harsh punishment for a minor, but the council was furious with the insult to the Vytal Festival rules of sportsmanship. Once they discovered the mistake and tried to make contact with Yang to apologize, they couldn't find her. She had vanished into the wilderness. The Council of Vale sent out countless teams of trained huntsmen and huntress's to find her, but it was 5 months before they found anything. Team CFVY found her on a small forest island off the coast of Atlas. She had made camp there 2 months prior to being found and had been fighting off Grimm attacks every day.

When she was found and Velvet explained the situation to her, she flew into a rage and nearly leveled the small island before the second year team subdued her. When news reached Beacon academy that Yang had been found, it was met with great celebration. Both in relief that she was still alive and with pride that their academy had been the ones to find her first. Teams JNPR and RWBY were planing to meet by the helipads to greet her and to apologize for not believing her when the incident first occurred.

"I just don't get why we're getting so dressed up to greet her, she'll probably be in in torn and destroyed clothes and smell really bad after going without a shower for 5 months!" Ruby shouted as Weiss and Blake wrestled her into a corset.

"That doesn't matter! When I was young and had to go with my father and sister to board meetings, we were always dressed to impress! We are going to apologize to Yang for what happened 5 months ago and we are going to look like we mean it!" Weiss shouted back forcing Ruby into her heels. When they had finished the three girls were wearing formal clothes that resembled Weiss's combat gear, with a longer skirt and less frills.

The three girls left their room and knocked on team JNPR's door. "They're not there remember? They got called to Ozpin's office. I'm sure they'll make it to the landing zone on time." Blake said as she grabbed Ruby and lead her towards the stairs. Reaching the doors to the court yard they opened them to find most of the school had gathered to greet Yang, including most of the staff. In the distance they could see a very large ship slowly making its way to Beacons cliff side landing zone.

With a heavy sigh, Weiss said, "Well, there she is. Lets hurry up, don't want to be late."


Ozpin's Office

Team JNPR sat in Ozpin's office waiting to be scolded. Jaune was a nervous wreck, mostly for not being sure exactly why they were there. Pyrrha sat beside him with her hand on his back trying to calm him while Nora rocked back and forth in her chair without a care in the world. Ren just looked kind of bored. Glynda stood beside them waiting for Ozpin to speak. And finally, we have the headmaster himself, standing by a window, coffee in hand and cane planted firmly on the floor. He took a final sip and turned to the students in his office.

"Do any of you know why you were called here today?" He asked while he walked towards his desk. Nora was the first to speak up.

"OOH! Was it the fire in the dust lab? Or maybe the food fight last week! NO WAIT! We're here because of the party in the emerald forest right!" Ozpin chuckled lightly. He always like to ask that question before revealing the true reason, merely to see what they confessed to.

"No Nora, we have known about those for a while, the party in the forest I will however admit we were not yet aware of." Her team glared at her as she shuffled back further into her seat. "No, I called you all here today because Beacon is going to be getting some very special guests, a team of professional hunters. They have offered to help teach combat at this school and I want you to greet them."

Jaune looked up with surprise. 'We're not in trouble? He just wants us to greet a group of hunters? Why do I feel like there's a catch?' Jaune looked behind Ozpin and saw a large Airship coming into view behind him. 'Yang!'

"Oh man guys we're going to be late to greet Yang!" Jaune shouted as he grabbed his team and began to rush them to the elevator. Nora grabbed Ren and all but dragged the poor boy from his chair.

Ozpin smiled as he saw the children rushing to the exit. "Oh, miss Nikos! I wish to speak to you after your team is done greeting our guests." Pyrrha turned and saw a serious look on the mans face. She nodded quickly before following Jaune into the elevator. As the door closed Ozpin turned swiftly and walked to the window to watch the airship approach. Glynda walked over to his side and saw the massive crowd below awaiting the return of the various students that had been sent to find Yang.

"So Ozpin, who are these hunters that are arriving? Anyone of significance?" She asked while watching the Airship make it's final approach.

"A couple that you may know. Professor's Tyme and Orion are coming. The spring maiden is with them as well." Glynda looked up to him with surprise. She had not been expecting another maiden to arrive at Beacon, much less to bring a team with two very well known hunters with her.

She looked back down at the courtyard to see team RWBY walking towards the landing zone with team JNPR sprinting out of the building. "Should I expect Crow and Taiyang to arrive as well? We did just find their Daughter/niece." Glynda asked as she watched the two teams meet by the landing zone. Ozpin just took a sip of his coffee and smiled.

"We shall see."


Landing Zone

Team RWBY and team JNPR stood at the foot of the landing pad as the massive airship landed. It touched down with a massive crunch as the landing gear scraped along the pavement for a few meters, then shuddered as the engines were cut. The door opened and the landing platform extended itself. It was quiet for a moment as the crowd waited to see who would emerge from the ship first.

Moments later the first group of people walked out of the ship. It was team SSSN followed by team CFVY. The crowd erupted into cheers as the teams they had sent out had finally returned. Behind them came a parade of other well known hunter teams and teachers. Then the last five people exited one at a time. The first out was an old man with graying hair, tan white skin, and a monocle over his left eye with a chain that lead to his left breast pocket. On his right hand he had an armored glove that was black with gold trimmings, and had claws at the tip of each finger. He wore a black double breasted suit and had black dress shoes. He walked up to the two teams and stood beside team JNPR.

"Good day. My name is Professor Tyme. I was told to meet team JNPR upon my arrival." Jaune looked at him with a smile and motioned for him to stand beside them while they greeted the rest of the guests. He nodded with a smile and walked to his place beside Ren.

The next was a man with short brown hair who looked to be in his mid forties with tan skin. He had a white Atlas military uniform on that resembled General Ironwoods, but with a longer coat, going to his feet to the point that it was almost brushing the ground. He walked with a large staff that had multiple dust crystals embedded through out the length of it, ending with a bright yellow star shaped crystal on the top of the staff. He appeared to walk with a slight limp, suggesting something had happened that forced him to use the staff as a support. He walked to team JNPR and nodded to them.

"My name is Professor Orion. I presume that you are the team we are to meet with." It was less of a question and more of a statement. Jaune nodded with a smile and motioned for the man to take the spot beside his colleague. The man walked swiftly to his partner and stood beside him in a very military way of standing, almost like he were saluting.

"JAUNE!" A voice shouted as the teams turned to the ship. A tall girl with shoulder length blonde hair, pale skin and plate armor similar to his own ran down the ramp. She was carrying a massive battleaxe on her back that looked like it weighed more than the girl carrying it. She had dark blue eyes and a pair of gold armored boots on her feet. She slammed into Jaune and caused him to topple over. The teams looked at the poor boy with surprise and concern. The girl jumped up dragging Jaune with her and pulling him into a bone crushing hug.

"OOH! I haven't seen you in years!" She shouted as she squeezed him tighter and tighter. The boy let out a surprised gasp as he struggled to breathe.

"NOVA!" She released him and looked to Professor Tyme. "You're going to kill the poor boy! Look at him, he's gasping like a fish out of water!" She looked down to see that Jaune was on his knees struggling to breathe.

"Oops..." Jaune looked up at Nova with shock.

"N-nova? I though you were back home with mom and dad." He said as he pulled himself back onto his feet. At full height he was looking down at the girl girl by about four inches. The girl just smiled up at him.

"Jaune? Do you know this girl?" Pyrrha asked as she looked to her leader who seemed rather familiar with her.

"Oh, right! Guys, I'd like to introduce my oldest sister, Nova Arc. She graduated from Beacon ten years ago." He said as he turned towards his friends. They waved at Nova as she passed them. She took her place beside the rest of her team and whistled towards the ship.

"Hurry up and get out here!" She yelled, waiting for the last member of her team. The group turned to see the final member of her team exit the airship. The crowd went silent.

Exiting the airship was a man that had a full Grimm mask covering his face, with long shaggy brick red hair and very tanned skin. He stood around nine and a half feet tall with heavy gold armor on most of his body. He had a long blond tail jutting out from his waist in the back with a puff of dark red fur at the tip. On his wrists were a pair of black bracelets similar to Ember Celica, but these had parts that trailed to a hinge joint on his elbows, then followed bars further up his arms to his shoulders. Oh his back were two large tanks.

He walked up to the two teams and starred down at Jaune. Jaune looked back with a terrified expression across his face. Then the man spoke.

"Hello." He stuck out his massive hand for Jaune to shake. He had a deep voice that almost had a growl to it. Jaune was not known for his bravery in a the face of a daunting foe, at lest not without prior warning. He was expecting to be greeting old hunters. Not a member of the White Fang. The man turned his head to the side in confusion, then withdrew his hand.

"Dammit Leo, I said your not allowed to wear the mask here! These people have had bad experiences with those masks." Professor Tyme said as he walked over to the man. "Now take off the mask, switch your armor off and act normal!" The man looked down at the professor for a moment before speaking.

"Don't want to show face." Tyme pinched the bridge of his nose with a sigh.

"Just do it. I promise no one here will make fun of you for your face." The tall man seemed hesitant at first, but ultimately gave in and switched off his armor and removed the mask. Under the heavy armor was a pair of bright blue jeans, like Suns only longer, a white T-shirt with a brown leather jacket and black sneakers. The armor had receded onto his arms, and were making up two very large gauntlets that covered his entire torso. Removing his mask the man appeared to be not much older than them, looking to be in his early twenties. He had sea green eyes and light stubble on his chin. The most prominent feature was a large 'X' shaped scar on his face, that met just between his eyes.

Tyme looked to the two teams and spoke. "This is Leo Thorne, he was a Faunus that used to work with the White Fang until he had to leave due to personal reasons. He is rather self conscious about his appearance, so please don't stare." He finished while looking directly at Ruby who quickly turned away. "He never had a formal education so his vocabulary is... Limited." Tyme spoke for Leo who was starring directly at Weiss with a focused stare. She Looked back with a confused expression.

"Why is he looking at me like that?" She asked, catching Tyme's attention. He looked at Leo with an equally confused stare.

"Leo? Is something the matter?" Nova asked as she walked up to him. He continued to stare at Weiss for a few more seconds until he turned and walked to his place beside Orion.

"Not her." He said before refocusing his attention on the airship. Nova and Tyme shared confused glances before walking back over to their places.

"What do you think he meant?" Weiss asked, before Ruby interrupted her.

"SHHH! Look! It's Yang!" The Crowd let lose a loud roar in cheer as the girl that they had all been waiting for finally exited the airship. She still had waist length blonde hair, but it was a mess and looked damaged with several splotches of mud. The sleeves on her jacket were torn off, making it into a vest. Her boots were cut from the ankles up and left only with the soles and the covering, which didn't look to be in great condition at all, covered with ware and tear. She had dozens of small scratches along her legs, along with a long scar along her left breast that trailed from the middle of her chest to the top of her left shoulder. She had lost her scarf and her skirt, left only with her black shorts.

But to Ruby, the two biggest changes, were on her wrist and face. She had lost her left Ember Celica, and her once lilac eyes were a crimson red. She walked to the end of the ramp and stood a few feet from her friends. The smile she usually wore was not present as she starred back at the people who she had bunked with for a year before being thrown out due to a hasty decision made by the council that none of them questioned. She glared at each of them then began to walk towards them.

The two teams had gone over the scenario in their heads several times, but it all feel apart when they saw her. RWBY were so happy to see their friend again and JNPR were so glad that she was safe. When she started towards them they relaxed. Ruby reached out to give Yang a hug, but was shoved out of the way as she walked past them. The teams were stunned and turned to see her keep walking away, heading towards the school.

"Yang!" Ruby shouted as she followed after her. She made to grab at her sisters hand, but Yang pulled it away. She turned to her friends and in a low and menacing voice said.

"I'm going to go shower, fix my Weapon, and then I expect to see each one of you in the arena." There was steam radiating off her as she turned and kept walking towards the school.

RWBY and JNPR were stunned. The last time they'd seen Yang she was a happy person that didn't seem to have a care in the world. Now she was a cold bitter shadow of her former self. Ruby looked close to tears as her team walked up to her.

"I'm sure she's still just angry about the mistake. I'm sure she'll be okay in a few days." Jaune said as he walked up to the group.

"Yeah Ruby, I'm sure she'll be fine. You saw her hair. She's probably just mad about that." Blake said as she helped Ruby to her feet.

"Why was yellow lady mad?" The group turned to see Leo, Orion, Tyme and, Nova had followed them and were looking at Ruby.

"Maybe we should take you to Ozpin now." Pyrrha said as she grabbed Jaune and started to walk, quickly followed by their guests.


RWBY Dorm

Yang opened the door to her old room and saw that not much had changed. Her clothes were still in their same spot in the closet, her bed was made but didn't look slept in. The only thing she noticed was a couple of the posters were gone, and there was a big map that had places marked that read 'The hunt for Yang' on the bottom. She scowled and tore it off the wall and threw it in the trash. She heard rustling to the right and turned to see Zwei leap at her from Ruby's bed. Catching the small dog she lifted him up to her face and saw his playful grin.

She smiled at the small dog and placed him on the floor before walking to their bathroom and closing the door. She turned on the shower and began to strip off the remains of her destroyed outfit. She stopped when she saw herself in the mirror. She traced the scar on her left breast from its base to the top of her shoulder, then saw her hair and eyes. She scowled at her reflection and turned away from the mirror. Removing the rest of her clothes she climbed into the shower and let the warm water wash over her skin.

'Oh I've missed this.' Yang could feel the world melt away around her as the layers of mud and dirt on her body were washed away by the hot water that she had not felt for close to five months. She spent close to an hour in the shower washing off the dirt and cleaning her hair. Exiting the shower she spent another hour in front of the mirror fixing her hair, and returning it to its previous state.

Finally satisfied with the state of her hair she walked out of the bathroom to find that her team was in the room waiting for her. They looked to her and saw that despite the fact that she was cleaned and her hair fixed she still had red eyes. She glared around the room as she walked to the closet and grabbed her spare clothes. She began to change without saying anything to the rest of the rooms occupants.

"Yang?" She stopped sliding her shirt on and looked over at Blake with a blank stare. "Are you okay?" She stared at Blake for a few more seconds before returning to getting her clothes on. She slid her boots on and turned to face the rest of the room, now back in her casual clothes and feeling better from the shower.

"I believe I said that I would meet you all in the arena. If you'd like I could pummel you all right here instead though." Her voice carried no kindness or happiness, only hatred. She looked across the room and saw the various looks of surprise on their faces. She walked to her desk and pulled out a screwdriver and proceeded to go to work on her remaining gauntlet.

"What happened to you out there Yang? Why are you being so cold to us?" Ruby asked. There was a loud crack as Yang managed to force the piece's of her gauntlet back into place. Transforming it into its weapon form then back to a bracelet she turned to her sister before standing. She walked to the door and opened it before turning to her little sister.

"You want to know what happened to me? Then get to the arena before I get done at the armory." She slammed the door behind her as she left knowing the picture frame from the wall. Team RWBY was silent. They had expected to see their friend again after several months of her being in exile, but something had happened while she was away that was keeping that side of her personality locked away.

"Get your combat gear." Weiss said as she hooked Myrtenaster to her belt before sliding her boots on.

"Weiss we can't just go and fight her!" Blake said as she watched he friend sliding her coat on.

"And why not? She wants a fight, so I'm going to give her one. Maybe we'll get some answers as to why she's being so bitchy afterwards." Weiss threw Blake her bow before turning to see Ruby strapping Crescent Rose to her back.

"She's right. Yang said if we want answers we need to meet her in the arena. Besides, the last time she acted this way dad chewed her out. I don't think he'd like it if I let her keep acting this way." She said as she pulled her cloak over her head. Blake sighed and grabbed Gambol Shroud before walking to the door with the rest. They bumped into team JNPR on their way out and saw that they were all geared up as well. The two leaders looked at each other, then to their teams.

"Well, ready to find out whats wrong with Yang?"


ARENA

Students and staff alike had gathered at the arena after Yang's declaration of war against her team and JNPR. The stands surrounding the arena were packed with a cheering crowd and concerned friends as Yang squared off against seven opponents below. Most had expected Yang to be at a disadvantage without her second gauntlet but she showed no signs of slowing down. Having not even activated the gun form of her gauntlets she was tearing the two teams apart.

While none of Yang's opponents had fallen, they didn't seem capable of gaining ground as Yang kept them constantly on their toes. Flying across the arena at a blinding speed she would slam her fist into one opponent while dodging another. It wasn't until Weiss managed to trap her feet in ice that their side got their first clean hit. Locking her left leg in ice up to her knee, Weiss moved aside allowing Nora the chance to hit Yang in the chest with Magnhild and send her spiraling into the air. Following up on the clean hit, Pyrrha threw Ruby into the air allowing her to get above Yang and bring Crescent Rose down hard on her chest.

Yang slammed into the ground with a loud crash that created a sizable dust cloud. RWBY and JNPR quickly surrounded the cloud waiting for it to settle. They could see a silhouette in the cloud standing completely still. They then heard the quick shifting of gears followed by Yang's angry voice.

"You learn a-lot living outside of a kingdom. When you need to fight off the Grimm to survive daily. I've found that many tactics of hunting Grimm can be applied to normal combat." Oobleck and Peter Port shared a glance in the stands before turning their attention to the battle at hand, both curious what she had learned while living amongst the very things they exist to fight. "For instance, while fighting Beowolves, I learned that if you kill the pack leader it causes a loss of coordination amongst the pack."

The very second she finished speaking, a flash of red shot forth from the cloud and knocked Pyrrha off her feet. She slid back to the wall and slammed into it with enough force to create a crack. As she looked back, her left eye began to glow slightly.

"Oh no, I can't have that now can I?" Three more blasts slammed into Pyrrha before the announcer called her as defeated. Jaune stared at his teammate in shock, as did most of the crowd. Pyrrha Nikos had just been utterly obliterated. She had never lost a fight in a tournament before this, but she was defeated in an instant.

"Pyrrha!" Jaune called out.

"Focus on the fight you fool!" Professor Port shouted, but it was too late.

"After the pack loses coordination, you can pick off the weakest links with ease." Jaune turned only to see that Yang was right beside him. With a swift uppercut she threw him into the air, followed quickly by an explosion as Ember Celica discharged.

"How is her weapon tearing through their aura so fast?" Port asked as he watched Jaune fall to the ground, completely unconscious.

"If I had my guess it would be due to where she was found. The Island she was found on used to be a Dust mine. The Schnee family abandoned it after it became more expensive to send protection there than to keep it running. To defend herself from the Grimm there, she must have gone to the mine in order to re-supply. The Dust in that region is very unstable, but if distilled correctly can be made into powerful weapons." Oobleck took another sip of his coffee and watched the fight closely.

"I see, so because she was able to harvest rare and unstable dust, her shells pack a much heavier punch. On top of that, she had to study the Grimm closely in order to defeat them. Her time in the wilderness paid off well to teach her how to hunt multiple prey without any support. Since the students didn't know about the new dust, they didn't use enough aura to shield themselves." Port and Oobleck were both thoroughly impressed with her progress. Though not all of the crowd present was as happy to see Pyrrha go down.

Glynda was refereeing the match and had seen Pyrrha get close to activating her Maidens power. 'Yang saw her eyes and hit her as hard as she could to stop her from activating her power. Does Yang know about the Maidens? Or was it just coincidence that Yang attacked when she did?' Glynda watched as Yang used the dust cloud to her advantage and got behind Jaune to deliver the killing blow. 'She certainly got stronger while she was gone. And much more ferocious.'

Blake and Weiss moved to attack Yang from the side but she dove back into the cloud and attacked Nora from the other side. "When fighting a Deathstalker, if you can't over power it, you need to wait until it makes an opening." Yang said as she rolled away from Nora's attack. "Then strike when it is recovering!" Yang launched herself forwards to strike at Nora. Nora saw her and sent out a blast of electricity to defend herself. Yang quickly rolled under the attack and said, "Remember to watch out for their stinger." Yang grabbed Nora by the armor on her abdomen and delivered three very close range blast to her face, then released her with a kick to the gut.

Ren watched Nora fall to the ground and turned to Yang. Using Stormflower he attempted to throw her off balance while he closed the distance between them. Throwing several quick slashes at Yang he succeeded in hitting her across the face with his blades twice before jumping back. Yang stumbled back before catching herself and glaring at Ren.

"When engaging a King Taijitu, never lose your balance. They attack fast and use their speed to knock their opponents around." Quickly closing the distance between her and Ren, Yang grabbed his arms before locking them behind his back. Pulling hard until he released his grasp on Stormflower, she kicked him hard in the back sending him sprawling forward. Turning fast he blocked Yang's punch with his Aura shield and threw her back.

Yang growled. "Never forget though, King Taijitu have two heads. Don't relax until you've killed both." Yang leapt at Ren, throwing punch after punch, with Ren meeting her blow for blow. Yang was getting frustrated that he wasn't going down as easy as his team was. She pressed her advantage until she saw movement to her right. She jumped away just in time for a purple wave to slam into an unsuspecting Ren and knock him into unconsciousness. "Always remember. When you find one Grimm, more are likely to be nearby." Yang said as she glared at Weiss, Blake and, Ruby.

"We can't win if we fight her one at a time! We need to chain our attacks!" Ruby shouted. Weiss and Blake looked at each other before nodding and leaping at Yang. With her dust cloud gone, she had no way to hide from this attack. Yang got into a defensive stance as Weiss propelled herself and Blake at her. As she planted her foot behind her she felt it get pushed away. As she fell she saw a small glyph where she planted her foot that had forced her foot away.

'So, they haven't been sitting around doing nothing these last five months after all.' Yang slammed into the floor and rolled to her feet. Looking forward she saw only Ruby. 'Where?!' She spun around and was met with the sheath of Gambol Shroud swiping across her face. Blake didn't leave her any room to recover as she followed up with several shots from her pistol and a high kick to the jaw. Yang stumbled back and threw a blast from Ember Celica at her. It connected with her and she shattered into hundreds of shards of rock. 'Damn! They've gotten their coordination back!'

Yang's eyes caught a glow from above her and saw she was surrounded by Glyphs. She grinned. 'Lets see if she if she's found a way to compensate for this drawback.' Yang was suddenly being thrown through the air as Weiss slashed at her while bouncing off the Glyphs. When it came time for the final slash she reared back. 'Now!' Weiss threw her arm forward thrusting Myrtenaster towards Yang's chest. Yang's eyes shot open and she grabbed Weiss by the neck and brought her close.

"The problem with a big attack when your fighting a strong enemy." She punched Weiss in the gut and planted her fist firmly on her abdomen. "Is that it leaves you open to a counter." Weiss felt Yang shift her fist before firing three shots into her gut. Weiss's aura absorbed the first two and half blasts, but the shock from the final blast threw her into the far wall, crumpling onto the floor beside Pyrrha. Satisfied with her work Yang turned to Ruby. "What can you do little sis?" She began to walk toward her with her arms out. "What can you do that the rest of them failed to do?"

Yang had forgotten that Blake was still there, until she felt a ribbon wrap tightly around her neck. She grabbed at the offending object on her neck while she was being dragged backwards.

"RUBY NOW!" Blake yelled as she dragged Yang towards her. Ruby dashed towards her sister while firing Crescent Rose to gain speed. She reared back to slash at Yang when she spoke.

"When locked in combat for your life, you must sometimes be prepared to leave part of yourself behind..." She quickly brought Ember Celica to her neck and fired. The crowd erupted with surprised shouts and gasps. Blake and Ruby were so shocked that they failed to notice that the ribbon had been destroyed. Yang swayed back and forth, the crowd expecting her to fall.

Glynda looked up at the monitor and saw that Yang's aura was far from the red and adjusted her glasses. 'She knew that would surprise her opponents and that she could take the blast. She's gotten better at measuring aura levels.'

Yang's face was still obscured by the smoke when she made her move. She spun around and grabbed Blake by her hair and slammed her face into her knee several times. Not giving her time to recover, Yang shot her twice in the face. Blake stumbled back until she hit a wall, sliding down she fell into unconsciousness beside Ren. Yang turned to look at Ruby who was starring at her with great amounts of fear. "So what now Ruby. This time I know your all alone." She started towards her sister and transformer Ember Celica into its inactive mode.

"Why aren't you using Ember Celica? It would go faster." She said as she regained her composure and took a defensive stance.

"No point in wasting all my new ammo here. I'm going to beat you into the ground with my fists alone." Yang got closer and began to pick up speed. She cracked her knuckles and leapt at Ruby. Seeing her sister leap at her she brought Crescent Rose around to counter.

"YANG!"

Yang stumbled and stopped her fist before it connected. Ruby shrieked in surprise as she missed her counter and got dragged to the floor with her Scythe. Yang looked into the stands to see where the familiar voice had come from. Seeing nothing in the crowd she turned to the entrance of the arena and paled. Standing in the door way were Taiyang and Qrow. Starring down at the arena, seeing all of the carnage that had taken place.

Yang starred back with shock only getting in one word before Ruby surrendered the match.

"Dad?"


Alright! So, that's chapter one! Haven't written a Fanfic for a good while, so tell me what you think. I think it is obvious by this point at least that Yang will not be acting the same as she does in the show, as I've had her out in the Wild for a good while. I plan to expand on her time in the wild and why she is so angry at her friends in later chapters.

This is a warning.

For any readers who have read this far and plan to continue reading this, if you don't like when OC characters can hold their own against main heroes and villains, then this will not be the story for you. Remember a few paragraphs ago when I mentioned the four new hunters? That wasn't just for show, they will be playing a big part in future chapters.
