[A/N]

So I had this idea floating around my head, thought I'd write it down and see where it goes, feel free to favorite, follow, and review. Oh and I don't own RWBY by the way, it belongs to RoosterTeeth and Monty Oum.

Chapter 1: Beginnings

Weiss Schnee swung her sword around, only to find it clash the two swords her opponent wielded. Gritting her teeth, she retreated a few steps and summoned one of her glyphs, dashing forward in a flurry of ice crystals. But the faunus girl before her sidestepped it like it was nothing. Slightly frustrated she tried again and again to land a hit on her opponent, sorting through a variety of glyphs and elemental types, only to fail to land her attack each time.

Retreating a few steps once more, panting slightly, she glanced briefly at her scroll, noting her Aura level in the low yellow. She decided to go for a ranged attack, but just as she was about to fire off the flurry, her opponent seamed to disappear. She hesitated, glancing around confused. The sound of blades swishing through the air caught her attention, she whirled and managed to have enough time to bring up Myrtenaster in a defensive position, but the force from the strike sent her flying. Right into the wall of the sparring area.

"And that's the match." Professor Goodwitch announced, stepping into the middle of the arena. "Ms. Schnee's Aura level has dropped into the red, signifying the end of the match, and I must say, that is one of the longest matches we've had in quite some time." Professor Goodwitch commented, "Ms. Hunter, you've very good Aura management, you should have no problems getting into the upcoming tournament."

"Thank You Professor." The faunus replied, sheathing her swords and standing in an attentive pose.

"Weiss!" A figure clad in a red cloak dashed to the fallen heiresses side in a flurry of rose petals. The heiress groaned and winced as she stood up, aided by her comrade. She looked over at her opponent, who sheathed her two swords. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Ruby." Weiss watched as the faunus exited the arena before wincing again at the ache in her side. Yang Xiao Long, one of the two other members of team RWBY showed up soon after to assist her sister in helping the heiress to their teams dorm.

Carly Hunter walked out of the training area, stretching a bit. With a slight smile on her face, the young wolf faunus began to make her way to the dorms. Only a few minutes at her relaxed pace and she arrived at the main area between the academic buildings and the dorms. A sudden movement in her peripheral vision caught her attention. Opting to pretend not to notice, she continued her course, entering the dorms and going to her room, which she shared only with one other girl for the moment, neither of them actually having a team yet due to their late transfer into Beacon.

Whatever or whoever had been following her had stopped for the meantime, satisfied with this, she locked the door and walked into the small bathroom attached to the room. She quickly stripped down and turned on the shower, stepping in and letting the warm water run over her, shivering a little as the water ran over her wolf ears. The fight with the Schnee heiress had been a bit more taxing then she let on in class, and she was happy to have the chance to relax under the hot water of the shower.

What bothered her was whoever had decided to follow her out of class, she'd have to figure that out, and fast, she didn't need a stalker at this school.

[-]

Weiss laid down in her bed with a groan, the ache from the hit had spread to her entire body at this point. Ruby frowned at the pained expression on her face. "Weiss, you sure you don't want to go to the nurse? You look like you're in a lot of pain."

Weiss shook her head "No, I'm fine, just need a bit of rest and I'll be back to normal." Yang rolled her eyes at her stubbornness.

"Whatever, I'm gonna go find Blake, later." And with that, the blonde brawler exited the room.

"Well…if you need anything, just call on your scroll, okay? I'm gonna go the cafeteria." The heiress nodded and watched as Ruby walked out of the room. Her mind drifted to the woman who put her in this predicament, she was new, a transfer, though where she transferred from seemed to be a mystery to just about everybody. Sighing, Weiss shut her eyes and tried to let sleep embrace her, eager to escape the ache and pain from the fight.

An explosion rocked the building as she jumped out the top window, using her semblance to land safely on the ground. Standing up and bolting forward into an all out sprint. Just as she did so, two Paladin mech suits burst through the wall of the aforementioned building, both sporting a White Fang logo. She flicked open her parasol behind her just in time to block another missile attack, she activated her semblance once more, disappearing and reappearing a few feet ahead.

She continued running, she had to run, she heard the guns firing, the ground exploded underneath her feet, sending her flying into a nearby wall, headfirst. As she slumped to the ground, she blinked, her iris flashing white as she desperately tried to cling to consciousness. Through blurry vision, the last thing she would remember seeing was a brown figure take up a defensive position in front of her, holding a mini gun. She heard shouting, it sounded female, she could feel herself being picked up and then carried away at a fast pace, white eyes glancing at her before the blackness of unconsciousness finally overtook her.

[-]

Coco unloaded round after round into the Paladin's leg, drawing the attention away from the tri-color girl losing consciousness on the ground behind her. "Velvet, Fox! Go get her and take her back to Beacon." She shouted at her team mates as she continued firing. Fox and Velvet bolted to the girl, Fox scooping her up before the two bolted as fast as they could for Beacon.

The remainder of Team CFVY made short work of the remaining White Fang members. Coco looked at their handiwork and spat to the side. "Wasn't that the girl Team RWBY warned about?" Yatsuhashi commented.

"Looked like it, hope she's alive, got to many damn questions for her to answer." Was her response as she collapsed her mini gun back into its hand bag form. Turning from the scene and starting the walk back to the school.

[-]

Professor Ozpin stood in the hospital room and analyzed the young girl now laying in the bed before him while the attending nurse checking her vitals. He turned to Velvet; "You're sure it was the White Fang that was pursuing her?"

Velvet nodded. "Yes sir, it was definitely the White Fang logo on the side of those mech suits." She looked at the girl, "Sir, if what Team RWBY said was true, isn't she technically suppose to be with the White Fang?"

Ozpin 'hmmed' to himself; "It seems that may have changed, I suspect we will learn more once she awakes." He turned and walked out of the room, pulling out his own scroll and typing a new message, the recipient marked 'Qrow.' Velvet meanwhile took a seat in the hospital chair and looked over the girl before her, noting the odd, pink, white, and brown coloration of everything from her hair to her clothes.

"Sort of reminds me of Ice Cream." She commented to herself.

"Copy that tower, beginning descent stage and handing over control to ground crews." The pilot of the small aircraft said into his radio, watching as his flight controls changed from a green color to blue, signifying that he was no longer the one flying his plane. David leaned back in his pilot seat and sighed, watching as his craft gently glided around the school before approaching a small airfield reserved for student and civilian airships and the like.

Feeling the shift from forward flight to vertical mode over a landing pad, he felt a sigh of relief as the landing gear deployed and the air craft came to gentle stop on the ground, flicking the shutdown sequence of the engines, he opened the hatch to the cockpit and stepped out, glancing around the airfield, not many students had the luxury of personal access to an aircraft, much less the know how to pilot one.

Reaching the rear of the craft, he tapped on a holo graphic panel, and the cargo door opened, grabbing a backpack, he shut the cargo hold and began to walk towards the gate when he noticed someone standing in his way, with grey hair and green clothing. "Ah, hello Professor Ozpin, something I can help you with?"

Ozpin nodded; "Yes, I have something I need you to do for me…"

Liz threw open the door to her dorm room and made right for her bed, collapsing onto it with a loud groan. Her purple hair cascading over her back in a mess, her roommate looked over from her own bed, wolf ears perking up slightly. "Long day?"

Liz groaned again, switching to a sitting position on the bed. "You have no idea, late to first class, missed lunch, and Port doesn't know when to shut up." Carly shook her head and looked back to the book she held in her hands. "How about you? Heard some students grumbling about how you kicked that Schnee girl's ass in combat training today." Liz peered at her faunus roommate with interest.

Carly rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't say I kicked ass, just got a lucky hit or two is all." She commented, looking back to the magazine she had been reading before Liz had entered the room. Now it was Liz's turn to roll her eyes.

"Carly, you're to modest, you know that?"

"Uh huh…oh and I spoke with Goodwitch after class too." The wolf faunus slid off her bed, heading to a mini-fridge and grabbing a soda.

Liz sat up and looked at her roommate; "Oh? What about?"

Carly knocked back a swig from the bubbling caramel liquid, smiling slightly before responding, "Well, she wouldn't give me specifics, but she said that we'd be getting put on a team soon, no more of the freelancer bullshit."

"Its about damn time, was wondering when they'd get off their ass and get around to it…wonder who we're gonna get assigned too?" Liz mused, standing up and making her way towards the rooms bathroom, stripping off pieces of her black clothing as she did so.

"Beats me, I just can't wait until we start actually getting to go on missions, I'm itching to atually hunt Grimm, not just mess around with sparring matches."

Neo awoke with a start, trying to sit upright but gasping silently at the pain in her side, laying back down. Her eyes were white with panic as she scanned her environment, everything was a bit blurry and she blinked rapidly, attempting to get rid of said blur. Someone rushed over to horsed; "You're awake! Please don't try to move to much, you're injuries are still healing, but you're safe here."

Neo looked over to the voice, her vision clearing, looking the rabbit faunus up and down, tilting her head slightly. Blinking again, she took a more careful look around, noting she was in some sort of hospital room. She lifted her hands a bit and signed out: Where am I?

Now it was the faunus' turn to tilt her head to the side and look confused. "Uhm…what..uh…" At that moment the door to the room opened and two people entered. One with grey hair and green clothing, Neo recognized him right away as Ozpin, the headmaster at beacon, but she didn't recognize the individual behind him. Trying to sign again, she motioned: Where am I? Whats going on?

"P-p-professor! She's awake, but she keeps moving her hands around and she won't say anything…" The faunus stuttered, backing up slightly. Ozpin nodded and looked back to the other individual "Mr. Williams?"

The individual spoke up. "She's using sign language, she wants to know whats going on and where she is."

"Allow me to clear that up…" Ozpin looked at Neo; "Ms. Politan, you are currently in the medical ward at my school, Beacon Academy, and before you ask, I am fully aware of who you are and what roles you have played in the past, but what I'm curious to know is what happened that had you running from the White Fang."

Neo looked down for a moment before answering, her hands beginning to move rapidly. David spoke for her. "She says she got kicked out, one to many mistakes and since she was so close to Torchwick, she knew too much to simply let her go, the leader ordered that she be terminated, which is when she decided to run."

Ozpin rubbed his chin slightly. "I see…and that correlates to when Team CFVY found you, let me ask another question, what did you plan to do if you had succeeded in escaping on your own?"

David waited a moment, watching her hand movements. "She…didn't really have to much of a plan, hiding mostly, maybe whatever work she could manage in one of the other kingdoms." Ozpin nodded, almost as if that was what he was expecting.

"I see, now where did you learn to fight?"

More hand movements; "She says someone named Cinder trained her, as she wasn't allowed to participate in any of the combat schools."

Ozpin nodded once more; "I see, I now have one final question…or rather, a proposition for you, one that I do hope you accept."

Neo looked at him curiously, as did the other occupants of the room, what on earth was this man getting at?

"Would you like to attend my school and refine your skills?"
