Chapter 1: Allies

Ruby and her team were sitting in their room along with teams JNPR, N(Natalie) A(Ally) S(Skylar) A(Abby), M(Minerva) I(Isabella) S(Sapphire) S(Serena), CFVY, N(Nirvana) G(Genesis) H(Hanna) T(Theodora) and special Team SSSN were all present in the cafeteria with Professors Port, Obeleck, Peach, Goodwitch, and Ozpin. There was a hooded man also present, but he did not disclose his name with the others except for Ozpin. General James Ironwood and Penny (robot girl) was also present from Atlas.

James: "Why have you called us all here Ozpin?"

Ozpin: "What do you think James? Why else would I call you here on a fine afternoon?"

James: "That's exactly what I want to know."

Goodwitch: "You'll get your answers soon James, just please be patient."

James: "I don't see what the problem is."

?: "Oh James, have some faith."

Everyone turned to see Cinder Fall, Mercury and Emerald appeared behind them from the shadows.

James turns to Ozpin: "What is she doing here?"

Cinder: "Now James, is there a need for such hostility?"

James scowled and turned back towards Ozpin.

Ozpin: "She could be of help during this time of need."James: "May I remind you who began these current wars that we're currently in."

Cinder: "Well, things can change James."

James: "Ha! Like I'll ever believe that, and you lost the right to call me James. After all, I still have that cigar smoking pet of yours in my facility."

Ozpin: "Enough James. We're not here to fight. We're here to put all hostilities aside and work together."

?: "I couldn't agree more."

Everyone turned their heads towards the entry way of the cafeteria to see four other hooded figures enter the cafeteria. The one who spoke was the second tallest in the group with a grey hood on. Once they were a good distance from the group, they stopped walking and removed their hoods, well the other three did, but the one in the grey hood. They were all boys were older than Ruby, but about the same age as the others. The first boy was seventeen years old standing at five foot nine to five foot ten with blonde hair and creamy blue eyes. He had a scar that ran along his left jawline. The second boy was eighteen and had light blonde hair, which almost made his hair look completely white, with light green eyes standing at five foot ten to eleven. The third boy was seventeen standing at six foot four. He had red hair and amber eyes. The last boy, the leader of the group, took his hood off to reveal a large scar that ran from the top of his right eyebrow to the right cheek bone. He also had another that ran along his back, but that was hidden from view. Everyone, particularly Ruby, sensed that this boy had been in many fights and had experience and knowledge on the battle field. However, she could sense that he was in pain and clouded by true loneliness, anger, hatred, and full of vengeance. He held an expressionless face.

Yang: "Sorry, but who exactly are you guys?"

The leader looked at the older hooded figure leaning against the nearest pillar. The hooded figure nodded as if he received the mental message from the younger boy. The leader turned back towards Yang and spoke.?: "We are assassins."

Blake: "Assassins?"

Weiss: "As in the Assassin's Creed?"

The third figure spoke.

?: "Ey lass. You're a smart one aren't you?"

Weiss: "I have a certain extent of knowledge yes."

Ruby: "Sorry to interrupt, but who are you? I mean, what are your names?"

?: "Can we tell the lass?"

The leader looked toward the elder again, and the elder walked over to him and whispered something in his ear. The leader nodded and turned back towards the other three. They spoke quietly before answering Yang.

?: "Alright lass, you get to hear our first names, but nothing more. As you can tell, I'm British, but the name's Alex."

?: "The name's Mason (the youngest and shortest one of the group)."

?: "The name's Kyle."

?: "Kai."

After their introductions, the teams present introduced themselves as did the teachers. Afterwards, the elder assassin walked over to Professor Ozpin and whispered something to the professor. He then went to Kai and whispered something to him. Once the elder finished, Kai had an expression that hardened his original and usual monotone expression. However, he nodded and the elder left. He turned back to see Ozpin with a smile on his face. Kai dreaded this unanimous decision since the order taught him everything that even the fourth years of Beacon are currently learning about Grim, faunus, government, et cetera.

Professor Ozpin: "Welcome to Beacon gentlemen. You're Initiation will start tomorrow. This meeting is dismissed."

James: "What do you mean dismissed?! You didn't even say what this meeting was about!"

Ozpin: "James, I believe I already have."

James: "Well, I must've missed the message."

Ozpin: "We're dealing with a bigger threat than what we're currently facing, so I have allied myself with Cinder and the Order of Assassins."

James: "I understand the assassins, but 'her'?"

Cinder: "Oh James, have a little faith."

General Ironwood scoffed and walked out of the cafeteria. Ozpin sighed and asked Ms. Goodwitch to lead the new students to the houses. Each house on the Beacon campus housed up to four teams. Goodwitch led them to a house that Teams RWBY, JNPR, and MISS were staying in. Ms. Goodwitch gave them key cards, communicators, and I.D cards. They thanked her and entered the house. The house didn't look enormous on the outside, but the inside said so otherwise. The inside was actually quite spacious. There were a total of four rooms that could hold up to four people. Each room had bunk beds due to certain circumstances that occurred within the facility.

Alex: "This is a nice place eh Kai?"Kai (monotone): "I guess."

Alex: "You're never exited about anything are you?"

Kai: "Nope, not really."

Kyle: "Let's just get settled in and not die on the first day... Alex."

Alex: "What mate? I haven't done anything yet."

Kyle: "That's what I'm concerned about."

The guys walked upstairs onto the second floor. They heard laughing and giggling coming from one of the rooms. Kai, Kyle, and Mason all turned towards Alex who threw his hands up in the air.

Alex: "Right. Girls room. Not my room. Equals no entry."

Kyle smiled and patted him on the back, and headed towards the one room that was not currently occupied. Mason shook his head and Kai sighed and walked on as well. The room was a bit spacious with a bathroom, and double sized closet, two bunk beds, a book shelf, and two study desks. Kyle, Alex and Mason stood in the middle of the room looking around admiring the space and room size, while Kai placed his belongings on a bottom bunk and began to unpack.

Alex: "Looks like our leader just claimed a spot."

Mason: "I get top bunk."

Mason walked over to the bunk that Kai was at and climbed up the ladder and placed his belongings on it and began to unpack. Kyle and Alex went to the other bunk and settled their sleeping arrangements there. After about five minutes, there was a knock on the door. Kai at the moment was the closest, so he answered it. It was the blonde girl named Yang from Team : "Hey, we didn't hear you guys walk in. I'm Yang, again (extended her hand out towards Kai)."

Kai looked at her and shook her hand.

Kai: "As I said earlier, I'm Kai, and thanks for the welcoming."

Alex (from the room): "Oi Kai!"

Kai: "What is it?"

Alex: "Who's that?"

Kai: "The one named Yang from earlier."

Alex: "Ask her out mate."

Kai: "Why?"

Alex: "Because, you need a lass in your life."

Kai: "Nanodayo... Sorry about that, he tends to have that habit of trying to get me with a girl."

Yang: "No, it's alright. To be honest I'm like him in many ways."

Kai: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Yang: "Nothing. Anyways, I was wondering if you four would like to join us for dinner."

Kai: "Here?"Yang: "Yeah, Lie Ren is cooking for all of us tonight."

Kyle: "Did I hear cooking?!"

Kai: "Yeah. So if you wanna-"

Kyle: "Done!"

Kyle sped by the both of them and headed downstairs. Yang was spinning while Kai was on the ground. Yang eventually stopped spinning and landed on top of him. Alex and Mason at that moment walked out of the room, and saw the two in the position they were in. Yang was on top of Kai, and her chest was in his face. Alex grinned then spoke.

Alex: "Enjoying yourself Kai? You need to get a room if you are."

Kai (muffled): "(Censored) you."

Yang got up very quickly and was red in the face like a tomato.

Yang: "Sorry about that."

Kai got up and brushed himself off.

Kai: "No problem, it was Kyle's animal habits that got us in that situation."

Mason: "That's why he just raced out of the room. I was also wondering what that thud was."

Kai turned around & said: "Yeah, that was us."Alex walked along & added: "You enjoyed it though didn't you?"

Kai: "Shut up idiot."

Alex smiled & said aloud: "He doesn't deny it."

Yang and Mason followed close behind. Once they reached downstairs, they were greeted by everyone in the living room, which, like the house itself, was quiet spacious. The others were chatting about whatever came in their minds, while Ren and Kyle cooked dinner. Kai stood away from everyone else against a far wall observing his teammates and new allies. Kai never admitted anyone as friends. They were always either teammates or allies in hi opinion; however, others saw differently despite his monotone and solemn attitude. Yang looked up and noticed that he was standing alone and spoke up.

Yang: "Hey! Why don't you sit here with us and talk. Alex and Mason have done so."

Kai looked at her & replied: "I don't like talking much. Also, I'm not here to socialize, I'm here to join you on a special mission assigned to us by the elders of the Creed. So to be completely blunt, I'm your ally or teammate, but not a friend."

He stood up straight and headed towards the front door. Weiss was about to say something to him when he shut the door and left. Alex got up and placed a hand on Yang's shoulder. She looked up at him with a concerned face. He simply shook his head.

Alex (w/ a serious tone): "He's always been like that since we've met. Quiet frankly, he hasn't seen us as friends, but as really close allies and teammates. He treats the three of us like brothers, but he never admits it. He has never really fully trusted someone before. In fact he doesn't even trust us."

Mason interjected: "Well you've had a past like his, you wouldn't trust anyone either."

Blake: "His past?"Pyhrra: "What happened?"

Kyle (from the kitchen): "It's not our place to say."

Ruby: "I'm gonna go talk to him."

Mason: "I'd give him his space for now Ruby. In due time though, he'll open up a bit more.

Alex: "It's gonna take a millennium though to gain his trust."
