Chapter 1

The New Guy

It was a nice and quiet Friday morning and Weiss and Ruby were walking through the halls to meet Yang and Blake in the cafeteria to eat breakfast together. On their way Weiss out of the blue stopped in her tacks, Ruby then stops, turns around and sees Weiss, who had looked like she has seen a ghost. Ruby being Ruby starts freaking out and turned to look at Weiss to see what was wrong and noticed she was looking at something or someone. She then turns to see where Weiss was looking, only to notice a guy walking with Professor Ozpin.

The guy had short spiked white hair and was in a black outfit with red trims and designs. He had matching glasses and there was a red glare in his left eye. Soon after seeing the two they walked out of sight, Ruby spun around to look at Weiss, who was in a trans like state.

Ruby started swinging her hands in front of Weiss face to get her attention and after a few short seconds, Weiss snapped out of it, looked at Ruby and said, "Stop it Ruby, you almost hit me! Hurry! We need to go meet the others. You know I don't like to be late."

Ruby and Weiss took off but all of a sudden Ruby stopped Weiss and asked, "Weiss, do you know who that was talking to Ozpin?"

Weiss slightly pushed Ruby out of the way and said, "No Ruby, I don't! Just leave it alone. We have to go, it is time to go eat."

Shortly after Ruby and Weiss arrived at the cafeteria for lunch, Ruby sliding into the booth by her sister Yang and Weiss sitting down beside Blake, they all got their food. Yet, as they all started digging into their food, the table remained eerily quiet. It was quiet for long minutes until Yang could not take it anymore and broke the silence. "Soooo? How is everyone?" Yang asked. Weiss and Ruby remained quiet, something not feeling quite right after earlier. Black, However, responded with his usual answer, "Same old, same old."

Yang, being her intuitional self, realized something was not right and stopped trying to make conversation and started eating again.

Ruby was so busy trying to figure out Weiss's actions from earlier when she saw the guy that she forgot all about her lunch and decided to start asking questions. Ruby looked up at Weiss, gathering the courage to finally ask and said, "Who was that guy that made you freeze up?"

As soon as Ruby's words were out of her mouth all eyes immediately landed on Weiss. Yang, being the first to speak said, "Ruby, what are you talking about?"

Ruby immediately jumped in to explain her question. "When Weiss and I were on our way here to meet you guys, she completely froze up when she saw this guy walking with Ozpin." Ruby stated matter of factly.

"Ruby, don't you listen? I told you it was nothing! Just stop asking." Weiss said with a very angry tone.

"Was he cute" Yang asked Ruby with a purr.

Ruby nudges Yang in the side saying, "Yang, stop it! I don't know. I did not get a chance to really look at him."

Weiss suddenly stood up with a furious look on her face, slammed her hands on the table and said, "Enough! It was nothing so just let it go! I don't want to hear about it ever again!" Weiss grabbed her plate, walked around the table and told Ruby, "I don't want you to think about any more of what happen earlier, you understand?" Ruby nodded and Weiss turned an her heels and when she did the guy was standing there. Weiss jumped and dropped the plate but before her plate could slapper on the for the mystery guy caught it, surprising everyone at the table.

The guy slowly gave Weiss the plate back and asked, "Is this team RWBY?"

"Yes it is." Weiss said automatically, grabbing the plate and walking away.

The guy looked confused for just a second but recovered quickly, turning to the others and said, "Well my name is Jay and Professor Ozpin informed me that I will be a part of this team for the time being, so I thought I would come over and introduce myself."

Jay walked over to Ruby and extended his hand. Ruby smiled accepted his hand graciously and said, "I'm Ruby, welcome to the team."

Yang then gently bumped Ruby out of the way and she shook Jays hand and said, " Hi, I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister."

"Nice to meet you, Yang." Jay said and continued around to the other side of the table. He walk over to where Blake was sitting and asked, "Who might you be?" as he extended out his hand for Blake. There was a very awkward moment until she finally said, "I'm Blake." By this time Weiss had arrived back at the table with the rest of the group.

Jay turned around and walked over to Weiss, extended his hand and said, "Hi, you must be the last member of team RWBY, my name is Jay! It is nice to meet you."

Weiss pushed his hand away and said, "I'm Weiss and my team and I have to go to class so you ca-,"

Weiss was interrupted by Ruby saying, "Um, Weiss? He is a part of RWBY now. "

"What, are you serious? Why?" Weiss asked.

"Well, because Ozpin said so." Ruby answered mater of factly.

"Isn't this great?" Yang said happily.

"Whatever. Look, let's just go to class. I don't want to miss it." Weiss said, trying to avoid the conversation.

Jay then spoke up and ask, "What class?"

"We are going to Grimm Studies." Ruby said in a excited manner

"Is the class with Professor Port in room 316?" Jay asked

"Yes it is, why do you ask?" Ruby asked.

Jay smiled and said, "Well we sort of-"

"Please don't say we have the same class." Weiss interrupted

"Okay, I won't say it.. but we do." Jay said smiling

"Okay, Great! Let's all walk to class together, then." Ruby said smiling

They all got up and headed to class. Once there, everyone got in their usual seating arrangement with them sitting in the order of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and then Yang. Jay however was standing beside the row of seats with confusion on where to sit when Yang finally spoke up.

"Hey, Jay, you can come sit by me!"

Jay nodded gratefully and sat down beside Yang. A few moments later Professor Port walked into class and began class as usual until he noticed that he had a new student.

"Aww, Professor Ozpin didn't tell me I had a new student." Port said shockingly, then walked over to where Jay was sitting and asked, "What's your name, my dear boy?" Jay looked up at him and said, "Jay sir."

"Do you not have a last name... Jay?" Port asked. Jay paused getting a confused look on his face. Port looked at Jay and asked, "Do you not know your own last name, son?"

"Sorry sir but I do not know my last name." lied Jay

"Well then Jay my boy, would you, my new student, show me and your class your skill against this beast." Port asked while pointing to a crate in the back.

"Yes sir" Says Jay, standing up and walking in front of the crate.

"Well, aren't you a confident young fellow?" Boomed the Professor as he grabbed his gun axe. "Are you ready my boy?"

Jay grabbed a hilt that was on his lower back and got into his stance and said, "Ready."

"Good now you may BEGIN!" joyfully yelled Port as he cut the lock, unleashing the burbatusk, as the gate opened. The semi-large beast charged Jay, at the same time Jay waved the hilt as a sword burst out of the hilt. The sword had a black hilt yielding a strange red symbol on it. It had a strange blade that had one side red and the other half black. Jay calmly lifted his sword causing the blade to hit the tusks of the boar which stop the beast it in its tracks.

"Good move!" yells Yang as she cheers from her seat. Weiss then quietly thinks to herself, "that's not that impressive." Everyone's eyes were plastered on Jay as he pulls apart his sword, taking off the red side, reveling another sword. A sword that had a red and black blade. He swings at the boar, cutting its side as it backs up away from him.

"Well, well.. looks like we have another swordsman in this class!" Yells Port who was now standing next to the cage the boar was in. Jay waited patiently for the boars next move. After a few moments, the boar charged Jay once more, hitting his sword out of his hands.

"What will you do now without you weapon?" Questioned Port. The boar rolls at Jay, but Jay is faster and catches the boar by his tusks, picks it up and slams it on its back, breaking the very tough armor on its back. Jay then breaks off the left tusk and stabs it in its heart killing the beast. "Well done boy! Now class, that's all the time we have for today. I will see you all next class." Port says dismissing class as everyone gets up and leaves. The excitement of the fight still lingering in the air.
