Just a warning, this is story is an AU and that events that happened in the show (MAJOR events) did NOT happen, but most of the main stuff is still there. The new team they will be a 'little' harsh(as you could say) towards everyone, since they r considered to be villians right now. Besides that, enjoy! ;)
Chapter 1: Welcome to Beacon
Team RWBY was in their dorm room and each respective member was doing their own specific thing. Ruby was eating a box of cookies and reading a weapons magazine. Weiss was obviously studying for an upcoming test in professor Oobleck's classroom. While the other pair, Blake was reading her usual smutty books as Yang was doing the only noise in the room-sleeping and snoring 'like an ursa'- in Weiss' case.
In normality, this usual typical day was unlike any other. As obvious as it seems, it was the day of the aftermath of the one event that everyone gave their own blood and soul for. It was the tournament. Each RWBY girl did have their own ups and downs in this exact festivitiy, but deep down inside, there was one rumour in particular that had yet to stir the minds of team RWBY.
It was the exchange of new students coming to Beacon. A very specific group that actually will soon stir thoughts and especially changes to our own very likeable all-girl team RWBY. How could this be...? You may ask that question, and the very unkown reason will show itself very soon.
"Welcome to Beacon Academy." A middle-aged man finished who was in a black suit with a dark green scarf around his neck. Glasses adorned his sharp facial features in the face with white grayish tousled hair. He had a coffee mug in his left hand. His name was Ozpin.
Sitting across from him was exchange students from Mistral. Each had their own unique style that was enhanced deeply to Ozpin. Through all his years, this was a first that he didn't feel quite confident in this new team. Though everyone had to take a risk one time in their life.
"Sounds fun." one of the members said. He was sitting in the middle of the other three. He crossed his arms over his chest, and slunk deeper into his chair.
"Seems interesting seeing the result of the tournament." another said, as this one was sitting on the far left.
Ozpin nodded. He turned to the blonde woman next to him, "Glynda, please escort this newly founded team to their first-year dorm. They will be in the same hall as Team RWBY and JNPR."
Glynda gave a small-sided glare towards the exchange students, who only smirked as she walked past and opened the door as the team filed out behind her as she went on her way to the first-year student dorms.
"Damn this place is huge." One of them said, as he placed his single bag on one of the four beds.
"Seems normal for a grimm-fighting school if you dont say so myself, Adam." One said, as his appearance for style was...different. He had flippy hair that one side sticks out more than the other. His hair color was dark purple on the left side where light indigo purple adorned the other. His eyes were violet with his skin as a golden tan. He wore a long white-sleeved t-shirt with plain black ripped jeans and black combat boots with shading of purple and white. Black armour pads covered over top of his elbows and knees. Across his back strapped to his chest was his weapon. His whole color scheme matched his name.
"Neon, you think anything that's big is cool." A third guy commented, a little smaller than the others. He had dark raven hair, almost a blueish color, that was long but spikey as it slanted but straight as a board. Covering his forehead were orange and black goggles with grey trim. His eyes where amber, matching his color scheme. Wearing a black t-shirt with a sleeveless orange puff coat with a high collar, with same color bermuda shorts and black warrior boots with orange trim. He was quite pale. Neon only smirked.
"You're about right, Sammy." Neon addressed the raven-haired boy. Who had sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Neon, I swear im gonna fire Spark Flame in your face if you keep calling me that! Its Sam!" Sam cried out, as he brisked his fingers with his weapons when he laid it down on his bed. Neon chuckled.
The one known as Adam looked over towards the last member of the team. "Hey Siren, you think any girls will go after you this time? It gets annoying when they smother you while training." Adam said sternly, his face shown with slight annoyance. He adorned quite handsome features, yet his personality takes it away. He had fiery red hair, around the sides of his head where mostly shaved leaving a little fuzz behind, almost like a mohawk as the top was layered and tipped upward in the front. His eyes shown a sea light green with his skin a golden tan and if you looked close freckles were spotted on his cheeks. Wearing a single white sleeveless t-shirt having a red/orange detailed fire scarf was around his neck with matching gloves on his hands. Black rugged pants where tucked underneath crimson boots.
The last boy only chuckled lightly, as he took his weapon and put it on his bed. "If they come, they come. Right now my focus is being a Huntsmen. If someone catches my eye, then they'll catch my eye." His eyes of baby blue, having white flippy hair with pieces of hair sticking out on the sides, bangs almost covering his eyes. He was pale, and had a black tuxedo that was white trimmed with a white undershirt and turquiose plaid tie. Dark grey dress shoes were shown on his feet. Adorned atop of his head were two white polar bear ear appendages sticking out like a sore thumb.
After a couple minutes, it was silent.
When they all settled down, the demeanor of the room changed hysterically.
"Neon, check the door and lock it and see if anyone is close enough to hear. Sam go close the curtains from the window. Siren secure the walls and see if its soundproof. We aren't going to lose our last chance with boss." The tone of Adam's voice was very low at this point, and his teammates went to work.
After a couple minutes went by, everything went according to plan, and all four boys stood next to each other.
"What are we gonna do now?" Neon asked, folding his arms.
"Right now, we need to be in close proximity of teams that has close relations on our list." Adam paused. He layed out a list of names on a piece of paper with corresponding pictures and information. "If we have to, we will have to go beyond extreme measures to not get suspicious from anybody." His voice went stern when he said the last word.
"What if we get too caught up with our mission?" Sam asked, his voice showed a slight point.
"We'll get to that point if need be."
"Aren't you guys excited?!"
"Absolutely not. We have to guide that new team around Beacon, you dunce."
"Oh Weiss! Why do you have to be such a party pooper?!"
"Ever since I got stuck with a brute on a team for four years so much so like yourself!"
Yang put a hand to her heart and sighed happily. "Awe I feel flattered, princess." Weiss rolled her eyes.
The mild conversation got cut off as Ruby lead the way towards their dormitory hallway, as they got instructed minutes prior right after breakfast to tour the new rumoured first-year team, that got placed right around the corner from team RWBY and JNPR's dorms. Ruby had an extra bounce in her step, Weiss' stance was somewhat irritated, Blake's also shown some irritation, as Yang was the same action as Ruby's.
To be honest, Weiss really didn't want to meet this new team. Neither did Blake, not that she would admit it. Both thought that it was useless to bring a new team to Beacon when just months prior was the first semester. Which means now that being in the second semester everyone knew each other pretty well, but not entirely.
"So guys, what do you think this new team will look like?!" Ruby asked her team happily.
Yang smirked. "I hope some hot guys are on this new team..."
Weiss gave the blonde a glare. "Of course you would think such inappropriate things!" Yang snickered.
"Is this the room?" Ruby interrupted, as she took out a piece of paper that Ozpin gave them, a schedule that this team will attend and the dorm number they were assigned.
"Seems like its correct." Blake commented as she analyzed the paper beside Ruby.
"Well get on with it then-Hmpf!" Yang hollered but got quieted quickly when Blake had her hand to cover Yang's mouth from being any louder. Weiss knocked a traditional 3 times.
For a couple, long minutes, the girls finally heard a shuffling of feet coming to the door and slight voices. Blake's bow twitched slightly trying to get something out of it but it seemed to be mumbles. 'weird' Blake thought. She usually was able to hear on the other side.
The door swung open to reveal two teenaged boys around team RWBY's age, one who had two-shaded purple hair in a white long sleeved shirt and black pants with the other being a shorter raven-haired behind him. They both had a quizzical look on their faces.
Team RWBY blinked. The two boys blinked back. It happened again.
"Ahem. Who are you?" Another boy who came up behind the other two asked, this one slightly taller than his purple haired teammate. He had fiery red-hair and light green eyes that actually mesmerized Yang's own. Yang didn't say anything, as she seemed to be lost in his eyes, who didn't even notice her presence.
Yang slapped Ruby in the arm to speak, who Ruby stuttered, "Uh...um..."
Weiss groaned internally."Sorry to intrude, but we were instructed to guide you and your teammates around Beacon." Weiss glared at the three boys that she thought were so abruptly rude enough to come look at her teammates as if they were dunces. Which they were...but only she could do that!
The boy in front with the two-shaded purple hair looked at her. "Really? We never got mentioned about it." His tone seemed nonchalant, but he looked dangerously back at Weiss' ice cold blue ones. People around them thought it looked like a staring contest was going on. Until the raven-haired boy broke the silence.
"Well, great to meet you! We'll be out in a minute!" he exclaimed, as he shown an innocent toothy grin, and shut the door in front of them.
"How dare he-!" Weiss shot out, though Yang interrupted.
"Well, that was awkward." she commented. Yet, the boy with the light green eyes with fiery red hair wouldnt get out of her mind. She did have to admit without any shame at all, he was drop dead gorgeous. Sadly as it to say, boys like that have a personality that would make you screaming the other way.
"Y-yeah..." Ruby stuttered, as her face was as red as her cloak. Yang looked down at her little sister. A smirk crept to her lips.
"Hey Rubes, why is your face so red? Did one of the boys make you blush?"
"N-no! I-I was just very surprised!"
Blake's eyebrow rose. "And how is that, Ruby?'
Ruby looked down, her mind racing. "Well, Um..."
Just then, the door opened once more which stopped the girls' conversation immediately. All four girls saw that the previous three boys they talked to prior seemed to be better shape as they must have cleaned up.
Yang's curiousity got the best of her. "Hey, what's your team name?"
"Team ASSN." The raven-haired boy said, which the red-haired one Yang was currently staring at gave him a look.
"What kind of people names a team 'assassin'?" Yang commented bluntly, unknowingly. Blake launched her elbow straight into Yang's stomach, which caused the blonde to grunt in pain, and too stop talking. The one with the light green eyes gave her a look, yet Yang didn't see.
It seemed Ruby's face turned back to normal. "Whats your names? Just so we can acknowledge you guys later on!" Ruby smiled gently.
The raven-haired boy in front gave her a toothy smile. "Name's Sam! Beside me are Adam and Neon, and behind me is Siren!" He said, as he pointed to each individual when he mentioned their names.
Blake's ears twitched rapidly with the name...'Adam'. Unforgettable memories started to flood her brain. Her heart rate increased, and her mind raced uncontrollably. She felt her knees go weak, and her vision blurred. Her hand reached up to her head, to stop the dizziness. Until a warm hand touched her shoulder was when she saw Yang gave her a quizzical look. She gave Yang a small nod saying she was okay, as then her mind went to wander.
'That name...its oddly rare in Remnant. It has to be a coincidence...it has to be...' Blake harshly thought. Yet she knew she was gonna have to keep an eye out for that guy.
"I thought we were doing a tour?" the one known as Siren asked.
Though, the girls finally noticed the last member of the team. He wore a tuxedo and yet, they widened their eyes, specially Blake's. He was a faunus.
It was mainly Weiss and Blake who stared him down. Probably for different reasons. One, he was a faunus; for that was Blake's reason. Weiss' own sake was that...she had a weird feeling about this guy. He seemed...familiar.
Of course Siren didn't mind the stares these two girls were given him.
Weiss did a huff to break the silence. "Well lets get on with it! We dont have all day!"
She started to walk away, with the rest of her team and Team ASSN following.
With lunch approaching, team RWBY separated from team ASSN, who Sam oddly explained that they got to go check something as a team back at their dorms and will check up with them later for classes after lunch.
As weird and coincidental as it is, team RWBY had the new team stuck in their minds. Except that the fact that Weiss, as usual, didn't like any of them and how they acted towards her and her teammates.
"Oh Weiss! Calm down! They might just be a little shy." Ruby explained, trying to reason with her partner about the odd all-boy team at lunch.
"Shy?! Ruby, did you even noticed how they treated us? They looked at us as if we were the idiots!"
Yang smirked and looked up from her food. "I do have to say, they all were a big chunk of eye candy." Blake gave her a stern look. Yang looked back at Blake with an expectant look, "What?! Its true, Blakey!"
Blake rolled her eyes. "Its weird how they have a polar bear faunus, that doesn't seem to be afraid of hiding his heritage. Neither did I see anyone look at him differently like any regular other usual faunus."
Weiss gave Blake a nod. "Yes, I agree with you on that Blake. I did notice that he didn't quite fit with the rest of...your kind. But I must say, how did you know he was specifically polar bear faunus?"
"Faunas intuition, I guess." Blake shrugged.
Yang on the other hand, couldn't get that one boy out of her mind. It was unusual for her to take a liking to a boy she didn't even barely know the name of. Usually it was quite the opposite, how boys and sometimes even girls who fought over her affection. But yet, one boy had gotten it just from his eyes. If she was honest, his eyes was as mesmerizing as Blake's own. She shook the thought out of her mind, knowing it was too soon to think about anything right now.
"Hey Ice Queen, you seem to have given that Neon kid a pretty big stare back there." Yang started. A smirk was starting to rise from her lips. This was gonna be fun.
Weiss gave her a suspicious glare. "For your information, you brute, he started it. Acting like we are some idiots asking and selling cookies at their door." The blonde snickered.
"I thought I saw chemistry." Blake added. Yang's draw dropped, as her eyes widened at her partner. Weiss looked at her surprised, as Ruby tilted her head, stopped eating her cookie from the reaction. "What?"
"Ohmygawd, Blakey! You're catching on to me~!" Yang chirped, as she wrapped her arms around Blake's shoulders, who groaned from the affection. At least she didnt slither away like the others would.
Meanwhile Weiss was about to choke both of them.
"You've got to kidding me."
"What now?"
"We have to be friends with them?"
"Hey, its only for the shortwhile. Besides, they dont seem that bad." Sam finally said, as he was constantly being ranted by Adam. Surprisingly, Neon or Siren didn't have anything to say to their red-haired leader.
"Yeah, Sam's right." Siren added. The others looked at him. "If you tell me, they might even be useful to getting us our targets."
Adam made a small annoyed growl. "A small, hyperactive annoying twelve-year-old looking girl, a rich snob, a black ignorant cat and a blonde bimbo? Do you really think they r useful in any of our hints to our targets? No." he ranted again.
Neon rolled his eyes. "Calm down, man. The faster we finish the list, the faster we wont have to ever see them again. How's that sound?"
"Very far."
"For oum's sake..." Sam muttered, as they reached their dorm room after that night, stuffing his face in his pillow. This was gonna be a long, asssassination to accomplish. 'They didn't seem bad...what's his problem?' he thought.
Before he knew it, sleep consumed him and later the rest of the assassins.
Next morning was the regular with Team RWBY. Ruby casually blowing her whistle into Weiss' face, the bumblebee pair groaning not wanting to get up from their respective beds. Almost being late for class...
You could call it a typical Tuesday if you will.
On the otherhand, team ASSN seemed a little uncomfortable. Ever since the tour, the team knows the academy inside and out. Its just how they inspect things. Neon has good memory, Siren was basically a walking compass, able to coordinate even through forever falls with a blindfold hopping on one leg, Sam was good with listening to directions, and Adam actually was the one who commanded throughout all of this. It was just the fact they actually had to go to school.
Never even one of them really went to school for about almost a year now. Having to sit in class all day listening to boring adults talk about history or the facts about weapons that any of them knew could explain in second nature.
The whole team were sitting side by side from the order of Adam, Sam, Neon and then Siren. They were previously listening to a boring speech of the history professor, Peter Port. Something about how he killed a deathstalker with a frying pan...
"This is more boring than watching a panda sneeze." Adam whispered to Sam. Sam sub-consciously looked up from his notes to Adam. A small smile grazed his features. Sam knew how to read his friend. It was hard from his weird and not good sense of humor, but he knew Adam seemed to listen, just not take notes in class. At all. At least he had to give him credit for listening at least. Even Neon was!
"Just listen." He finally whispered back, back to his notes.
But Sam's eyes drifted down to Team RWBY. The girls were only about two rows in front and they were behind them, so around the middle of class. He looked to pay attention to each and every one of them. The so-called leader, Ruby Rose, he looked up was a scythe-wielder with a compound sniper rifle and was previously doodling all over her small portion of notes. The schnee heiress, Weiss Schnee was scolding at her partner, and taking notes, but even with her posture from behind you could tell she was not enjoying it at all. The black cat faunus seemed to be sneaky. He saw she had her right hand atop of the desk, pencil in hand, pretending to write. The left was below the table, holding a book close to her stomach. 'Smart...I should do that sometimes.' he admitted in his thoughts. The tall blonde who seemed to be really out-going, was slightly sleeping with head in one hand, the other holding the pencil in a lazy manner. In the front row! But professor port seemed to pay her no mind or just didn't care. He was actually slight envious.
Just then, the bell rings for lunch. His thoughts drifted back to his team, as everyone filed out of the room.
"I'm never coming back to this school when we are done." Adam commented. Siren shrugged.
"It's not bad. But in my opinion, this has alot more pretty girls than I expected."
Neon smirked. "I ain't gonna disagree with you on that one."
Just then, a tall red-haired amazon girl who had muscles that could smash through wood with a finger started to walk by with a small lanky blonde boy.
"That doesn't make any sense." all four muttered. That was until they stopped to chat.
"Hello! My name is Pyrrha Nikos. This is Jaune, we're from team JNPR. We've been told by Team RWBY you guys are the new team on our floor." The girl named Pyrrha smiled at them. Her eyes and hair reminded the three of a female version of Adam.
Siren's thought hit him. "You're the Pyrrha Nikos?"
Her smile gleamed. "Why yes, of course."
Neon nodded in appreciation. "Well maybe one day, you need to show us your skills."
Pyrrha made a hearty laugh. Adam, since he was the one standing in the back noticed the tall lanky boy...Jaune...right? Who was quietly standing with Pyrrha. His eyes shown a jealous sparkle, Adam had to snort at that one. He had no chance in hell.
"We will see. It's been awhile since I had a challange."
"Challange accepted!" Sam commented, a smile gracing his feature. The conversation continued for awhile until a short-red headed girl and a boy with shoulder length black hair with a magenta streak walked up behind the two.
"Pyrrha! Pyrrha! Let's go before the food gets cold!" the girl exasperated, pulling on the amazon's arms. The boy seemed to be quiet.
"Yeah, maybe we should go. Don't wanna keep the food waiting..." Jaune mumbled about, as both of them started to drag Pyrrha towards the hallways to the cafeteria.
Pyrrha managed to call out a "bye" before neither four of them could speak.
"That blonde haired kid got on my nerves." Adam said bluntly.
Neon gave him a look. "He barely spoke a word out."
"Eh, still. Something about him screams he doesn't belong here."
It was around nine o'clock that night when Yang and Ruby decided to hook up their TV in the dorm room. Both seemed to be on the urge on watching something since they were not assigned any homework for the night and didn't feel like playing any video games. They also called it, 'sister bonding time.' The others would probably join later soon since Blake seemed to be at the library while Weiss was in the shower.
It was somewhat peaceful until Yang and Ruby decided to fight over the remote.
"Yaaang! It's my turn! You had control of the remote all last week!" Ruby whined, as her head was being held back by Yang's hand, which it extended full length, leaving Ruby useless.
"Sorry lil' sis, but I dont wanna watch Weapons Assembly-oof!" Before the blonde could finish or react, Ruby dove under her sister's hand and tackled her left side. Both fell to the floor, in a heap. Both fighting for the grey remote. It was actually quite a scene. Yang had strength able to keep Ruby down, but Ruby was too quick. But both seemed to counter, now leaving the remote to skidder across the floor under the TV.
Both gave menacing glares to one another. Until huge grins and laughter erupted.
"I'll get it..." Yang mumbled, as she crawled towards the tv and reached under it for the remote. Her fingers kept brisking the remote, accidently pressing channels flying by the screen. Until one channel had caught Ruby's eye.
"Um, Yang...?"
"Yes Rubes?"
"I think you will want to see this."
"Hold up...almost there...and...got it!" Yang whistled in victory as she pulled her arm out. Wiping off the dust from her arm, the blonde walked over towards Ruby, who was staring blankly at the TV, but her eyes were showing confusion. "What's wrong? Are you okay? Rubes!"
Ruby just stood there, and pointed towards the TV. Yang's eyes drifted towards the screen. "Oh shit..." the blonde cursed.
It was totally weird.
What was shown on the screen was displayed, Remnant's News. What was previously displayed was a killing of a man named Dan Hawkwright. Who was walking home late one night from his job at the Schnee Dust Company, and shown other victims being killed that same week. In total was about 5 killings. The lady with the microphone explained all were killed differently but yet so similar the police was at a lose. Until a private detective came unto the screen, his eyes had the sparkle of fear.
'Can you tell us what might be happening here?' The lady asked.
'Well for sure it ain't no accident. But all I know and my boys here know is that this was a sign. A deadly sign. And all I know is that...from past experience...this is a similar marking of assassins coming upon us.'
"Assassins?" Yang mocked, as if the word was just known today. Ruby quickly grabbed the remote and paused it.
"We need Blake and Weiss to see this!"
"You get Weiss, I'll call Blake." Yang ordered, as Ruby nodded and zoomed across the dorm to the bathroom door.
Band, bang, bang! "Weeiiss! You need to come out and watch this! Its an emergency!" Ruby cried out. There was a hiss and a thump as the rushing water stopped.
"What do you want, you dolt?! I was in the middle of doing my hair!" the heiress called out in a distasteful tone.
"Come out! Me and Yang need you to come see this! Its important!" Ruby called out again, leaning her head across the door. She heard some more incoherent mumbling.
Yang on other hand, ran over to Blake's bed and grabbed her scroll (which she can not recall how many times she forgets to put it up into her bunk) and pressed her partner's name from speed dial. A couple rings come out until-
"Yes Yang?"
"Blakey, I need you to come back to the room. Me and Ruby found something on the news...and it isn't pretty."
"Is it the White Fang?"
Yang paused at that one. "I-I don't know."
"I'll be there in a minute. Hold on."
"Thanks Kitten!" Yang chirped, as both hung up.
A couple minutes past as both sisters reunited back at the front of the TV. Both gave worried looks.
"Yang, do you really think it's assassins that are killing those people?" Yang looked down at her little sister.
"I don't know, Ruby. I just don't know."
Until the dorm's and bathroom door swung open revealing a frazzled cat faunus and an angry heiress in only a bath towel. Which both had questions that needed to answer.
"What's going on?"
"If this is another prank, I swear I will hunt both of you sisters down and-"
Ruby blew her whistle. Both then stopped their questions. "Yang and I just saw multiple murderings happening around Remnant. And they think its not something ordinary." At the queue, Ruby started the TV once again, as the previous film replayed as the whole team digested the information.
Weiss seemed to be less angrier, and more on the sympathy side. You could see that Blake's mind was probably going a hundred miles an hour.
"I can't think of anything...if it's not the White Fang..." Blake started. Yang put a reasurring squeeze to her partner's tensed shoulder. Weiss sat on the edge of her bed, not saying anything.
"What's wrong, Weiss?"
"Dan Hawkwright was a close friend of my father. He worked unconditionally with making rare dust all around Remnant. And now he got assassinated?! This will not work well with the company." Weiss confessed slowly. Ruby sat down beside her icy partner and gave her a tight squeeze.
"This has to mean something." Blake added. Yang nodded with her.
"Since everyone is in danger, we need to find out who these assassins are." Yang stated. All three girls widened their eyes.
"Should we?" Weiss muttered.
Ruby nodded. "Yang's right. We need to find out whose behind this. Besides, there are innocent lives at stake here."
Blake sighed but nodded after a deep thought. Weiss surprisingly seemed to be the one at most thought here until finally she nodded as well.
"Let's do it."
First chapter done. Was it good...bad? Please review so I can make it better for y'all!
Secondly, I am planning to do pairings for this story (Still deciding who with who). I've already put subtle hints in there. ;)
The way I'm going with the dynamic of updating is the next chapter will be a trailer, the one after that will be chapter 2. So on and so forth.
See you next time~!
