So, just wanna say right quick that finals went well, man this RWBY season is great (what the fuck YANG?! NO!) and that since I'm posting all of these over the next week, I'm not gonna put previews at the end. Sorry for posting this so late, busy day! Thanks for reading guys and I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

"The Guild was gone and things were finally normal. Of course, you already know all that and certain things that happened in the later years. It's a shame you couldn't see all of it," Aero Kalo said, wiping his eyes away with his sleeve. The sun was starting to lower itself ever so slowly in the horizon, adding an orange tint to the light blue sky.

"The truth was just so shocking, I still have a hard time processing it sometimes. Everyone misses you, you know that?" he said, standing up and placing his hand on top of the tombstone, "Especially me… Lila."

"And as you guys already know, you need to always work as a team and get through everything together. I know I sound like a broken record, but it's the truth," 44 year-old Aero Kalo bellowed, standing in the pit of the arena at Beacon Academy, his sixty students sitting down and surrounding him in the upper echelons of the arena. Being the combat teacher for the past five years after Nora Ren retired, Aero had enjoyed his time at Beacon, mentoring students to make sure they were ready for creatures of Grimm.

"Yeah, we know all this professor," a student said out loud, causing a few his classmates to snicker.

"Ah, Jay Cardin, always with an opinion and showing off. Runs in the family I guess, which explains your father-"

"Don't talk about my father!" the young man yelled loudly.

"Then don't interrupt my class," Aero retorted in full force before turning to the rest of the class, "I know your spring break is coming up, so I will go light on you guys and give you no homework for it, just keep training so that you harden your skills and your reflexes."

"They're already good as is," he heard Jay say under his breath with his bat ears, causing Aero to look up at him.

"Is that so Mr. Cardin? Care to try those hardened skills on me?" he asked with a grin. The whole class looked with shock and surprise as they turned to Jay, who looked down at Aero and nodded his head.

"Your funeral professor," he said, getting up and walking to the preparation area.

"Doubtful," he said as he took his blue suit jacket off with a white snowflake on the back and laid it on the ground. Aero shook his salt and pepper hair that matched his trimmed facial hair and wore a white dress shirt and jeans along with combat boots. His familiar hilt rested on his hip while his short blades still rested on the small of his back. Jay Cardin strolled forth with a more traditional mace unlike his fathers, the tips of the spiked round head glowing red, showing the Dust infused in them.

"Ready whenever you are Mr. Cardin," Aero said in a cool tone, drawing his blade, the students 'Ahing' at the blade that popped forth, the 27-inch steel blade glistening under the lights of the arena. Jay Cardin stood still, his father's armor shining in the light, underneath which he wore a light blue long sleeve shirt and matching pants that were covered by leg armor. He ran a hand through his brown hair and smirked to himself as Aero twirled his blade in his hand.

Jay suddenly thrusted his mace out, the red tips becoming bright red and firing small red beam projectiles at Aero, who dodged the fiery thorns and moved in. The exchanged blows until Aero was able to take advantage of something Jay got from his father: his cockiness and his disregard for his power. Jay swung the mace around wildly, grinning the entire time that quickly changed as Aero ducked a diagonal club, elbowed his gut and brought his knee to his chin, stunning Jay. Aero quickly circled around and brought his foot square into the back of his shin, tripping the Hunter and allowing Aero to position himself on top. In an instant however Aero was sent twenty feet to the right by Jay, who had hit him square on the cheek with his mace. Jay got up, squeezing the black grip and slowly moving the spiked end up and down into his open palm.

"Tsk tsk professor. I thought you knew better," Jay said, a surge of arrogance going through him as the chance to beat Aero increased greatly.

"Uncle Aero, are you okay?" he heard behind him, a smile coming across his face as he rubbed his cheek and nodded.

"I am Harley," he said, turning to the daughter of Yang and Sage, who had her father's dark skin, eyes and hair color but had her mother's hair, fighting style and temper. She had a light green halter top with a matching light jacket, dark green shorts that stopped halfway down her thighs and black heels. Her eyes had turned to red and Aero could see that she was ready to go.

"Don't worry Harley, you gotta give people a bit of hope sometimes," he said loudly, the class chuckling, annoying Jay greatly, all according to Aero's plan. Before he could retort, Aero dashed forward, landing a flying punch on Jay. He looked at Aero with anger and charged, his moves predictable as Aero landed five hits with his sword and landed a boot to his chest, launching Jay into the wall. Aero didn't relent as he sheathed his blade, ran forward with his two short blades and parried a side swipe from Jay, allowing him to thrust both blades forward, knocking the air out of Jay. The assassin grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the arena and was on him in mere seconds, his blade pressed to Jay's neck. The class looked on in awe as Aero sheathed his blades, stood up and held his hand to the student, who grasped it.

"Look," Aero said, pulling Jay close so only he could hear, "I know what I said was wrong and I apologize. I just know how your dad is, I've heard plenty of tales and I've had my run-ins with him. You can be a lot better, just have better control, work on it," Aero whispered and looked into Jay's brown eyes. Jay looked at him, looked down then nodded as Aero patted his shoulder.

"And with that demonstration class," he announced, keeping his grip on Jay's shoulder, "Dismissed. Have a good two-week break, keep in contact with your teammates and keep practicing."

Aero patted Jay's shoulder and let him meet with his friends, allowing him to retrieve his suit jacket with a bit more pain then he wanted. He heard the footsteps behind him and turned with a smile.

"What did I tell you Harley?"

"Yeah, alright, you got me," she said with a grin that was definitely from her mother, "You never cease to amaze Uncle Aero."

"That's my job. Lunch as usual?"

"Nah, I can't this time. Mom and dad are getting me soon."

"Wait… don't you have another class around 3-ish?"

"See, I know that and you know that, but they don't," she said with a shrug as Aero rolled his eyes.

"You are terrible young lady."

"Ah I know. Catch you around Uncle Aero," she said with a light jab to his shoulder, something Aero returned then put his suit jacket on and straightened it. Later on, Aero found himself in his office, watching videos of his students fighting and taking notes on them for critiques and grades. He took his notes in a small notepad, closed the video he had been watching and typed in a grade for that student. He opened up another video of Harley Ayana and saw her fight with gauntlets that had both shotgun ammo and assault rifle ammo. He paused the video, rubbed his eyes, swiveled in his chair and stood up, staring down at the courtyard of Beacon Academy.

Offered the position five years ago from the headmaster, Aero had done his best to train the students of Beacon while making sure no one discovered his past, lying to his students by saying he had been a successful Hunter and had retired to teach. His office was bright orange and had a large oak desk, on top of which rested his computer, lamp and notebooks. The room also had bookshelves that had various combat books, pictures of him, Weiss and their daughter on his desk and his old weapons hanging on the wall. He watched the students in the courtyard, smiling to himself, knowing he was doing his best to prepare them for their future battles. He daydreamed about days long ago that was cut short but a knocking on his door.

"It's open," he said, turning around to see the headmaster in the door. She wore white dress pants, matching heels and an unbuttoned white blouse with a light blue undershirt, her glassy blue eyes betrayed no emotion, however her furrowed brows said everything to Aero, who noticed the sway of her off-kilter ponytail. He couldn't help but smile at her as she closed the door behind her and stormed up to him, her height only coming to the bottom of his neck.

"Ah, headmaster Kalo."

"Aero what the hell is this I hear you beat one of my students?"

"Technically, sweetie," he said to his wife, "He's my student."

"You know what I mean Aero!" Weiss Kalo, formerly Schnee, yelled at her husband, "Why are you attacking my students?!"

"To make a point Weiss. Humility is the best teacher. I would never actually harm them, just give them enough bruises so that they learn," he said, rubbing her shoulders. She sighed angrily and shook her head.

"Please don't do it again. I don't want to have to deal with Cardin Winchester, he's still a pain in the ass to everyone."

"Agreed. I apologize and if he does have a problem you direct him to me, okay? It was my fault," Aero said in a loving tone, kissing his wife's forehead to calm her, which she did.

"Just please don't do it again."

"I won't, I promise."

"Thank you," she said, sharing a kiss with her husband, who pulled her into a deeper kiss. Ten years ago she was offered the position from professor Ozpin, who was about to retire and wanted her to take his place. She hired Aero five years later and her husband felt undying gratitude to his wife for this position. They both held the kiss longer as Aero pulled her closer, the heat between them increasing as his hands moved down her back, causing her to break the kiss and look at him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Oh come on, you're telling me you haven't thought about this? You and me, alone in an office? Maybe you come in, wanting to raise your grade…" Aero whispered in her ear, his words drifting through her brain as his hands moved further south and grasped what they were looking for as her cheeks turned beet red.

"A-Aero, stop."

"You sure you want me to? I have an hour you know," he said, his lips pressing against her delicate neck. Her eyes fluttered, her mind going blank as her husband began to move his hands up her body, his body forcing her to sit on the desk. While she knew it was wrong and had an appointment soon, Weiss couldn't help but get excited; she and Aero had been enjoying a happy 19-year marriage and while they had their downs they had plenty of up and still loved each other deeply and moments like these kept everything fresh to her.

"I-I…"

"Ah I love your uncertainty, it allows me to sway your opinion so easily," her husband said with a sly grin, his heart pumping fast as he pushed against her, her legs wrapping around his waist and pulling him in. Aero took the sign and pushed against her more, his hardness pressing against her groin. She moaned into his ear, wanting more of him, her mouth clamped down on his collarbone as her hands danced around his back. The two had one thing on their minds and that was each other as she pulled on his shirt, pulling it halfway up his body. Both of their bodies suddenly tensed up at the knocking on the office door, the two quickly getting off the desk and straightening their clothing.

"Uh… it's open," Aero said with a cough, Weiss standing in front of him, their backs to the window as the door opened to a woman that seemed forever young to them. She had black hair with red tips that reached her shoulders and her familiar red cape flowed behind her, showing she had just stopped in front of the door. She wore a long black over coat that splayed out at her legs and was accompanied with black leggings and red boots. Her red long sleeve shirt had a white fiery design on the front of it, a combination of her rose and her husband's fiery insignia.

"Hey Aero, have you- oh! Hey Weiss!" she exclaimed in her usual happy tone.

"Hello Ruby," Weiss said in irritation to her secretary.

"Uh… Am I interrupting something?"

"Ha, not at all Ruby," Aero said, rubbing Weiss's shoulders, "We were just having marriage talks, you know how it is. What's up?"

"Weiss, your three o'clock appointment is here."

"Three o'clock appointment?" Aero asked.

"Oh shit… yeah with a student over their grades. Thank you Ruby, I'll be there in a minute."

"You got it," Ruby said with a smile as she dashed away with her semblance. Weiss turned back to her husband and graced his lips with hers.

"I gotta go… we'll continue this after the meeting?"

"Sounds good."

"Wait, I can't, I have another meeting from four to six."

"I'll go home, cook some dinner, we'll cuddle then wait for it to get dark, how about that?"

"Sounds perfect to me," she responded with a smile, leaving a kiss on his cheek and leaving the office. Aero smiled at his wife, watching her strut away until she turned down the hallway. Aero returned to his desk, shaking his head at the near opportunity as he pulled up the video of Harley and examined it in detail. As he continued to write down notes and scratch other notes out, he saw out of the corner of his eye someone standing in his doorway, making Aero shut the video off again and look up. The gentleman standing in his doorway had dark skin, wore an orange t-shirt that didn't hide his robotic right arm and red slacks. He also sported a buzzed head, clean shaven face and black sneakers, a smile coming across his face and a bigger one coming across Aero.

"Well I'll be damned, Sebastian," he said, getting up from his chair, walking over and embracing his friend in a hug, Sebastian chuckling at his friend.

"Ah, hello Aero," he said, hugging Aero back and taking a seat across from the desk that Aero returned to.

"So, what brings you to my place of work? It's been a few months since I've seen you."

"Yeah, I know. But you know me, just been enjoying the time off."

"Thankfully I'm about to get some," Aero said, the two sharing a hearty chuckle, "Shall I put some coffee on?"

"Not this time, I actually came because I need to talk to you about something," Sebastian said, leaning forward and taking an envelope from his back pocket.

"What is it?"

"It would be best if we discussed it in private Aero."

"Well, I have a class soon but I can cancel it."

"Good. Plans with Weiss?"

"She has an appointment now and another from four to six and I was hoping to have a nice dinner with her. What is going on Seb?"

"I think someone is trying to reform the Guild Aero. And I think you're target number one."
