Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about RWBY. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.

(Mistral Airship, 4 months before RWBY season 3.)

Rand Blizz sat in the seat of the airship as it continued on its course from Mistral to Vale where Blizz and his team would be competing in the tournament.

He sighed and whipped the dirt off his blue pants and looked down at his icy blue boots as the airship continued to fly towards its destination, he walked over to the window as he looked back at Mistral as it began to glow smaller and smaller until was simply a dot in the distance.

"Blizz, what are you doing up here? Rest of us are down stairs asleep or training for when we get there… I never figured you as the brooding type."

Rand heard from over his shoulder as he smirked and yawned, pretending to ignore the girl behind him.

"Yeah well, I'm not most people, Jasmine… Most of Haven can sleep until Remnant explodes, I'm not most people… Besides, if that's the case, why aren't you asleep then, hmm? The trip to Vale is going to take 2 or so days and then from there we have to wait several months to compete in the tournament… If you want to rest, fine… But I'm going to keep staying up here to relax."

Rand said as Jasmine sighed before she walked down the steps to the lower deck of the airship.

Rand turned to see his weapon, Wolfbane on the seat next to him, the sniper rifle/ assault rifle sword sat on the chair next to Rand as he pated the weapon with care.

"Come a long way from being just a kid… And Jasmine being an Atlesian specialist that joined our team? Hmm, wonder what goes in in Atlas to have made her join us… Well, the rest of team BEIG is downstairs… Perhaps I should join them… Eh, ill give it a few more minutes before I do."

Rand said as he grabbed Wolfbane, clipped the weapon to his back and walked down the stairs to the bottom floor of the airship and walked past his team to walk to his room to rest.

"I am really tired, maybe I shouldn't have spent the better half of a night practicing… Eh, have to practice now so I don't have to later…"

Rand said as he entered his room and yawned as he laid down in his bed and yawned as he laid his blue jacket on the coat rack and laid his boots down by the door as the rest of team BEIG entered the room.

"Jasmine, what do you and Auburn and Bud want? You just asked what I'm not sleeping or so, and now I'm sleeping…. BEIG isn't going to be in Vale for another day or so… So, go and get some sleep or something."

Rand said as he looked over his shoulder at his team mates, Jasmine had white hair, blue heels, a black jacket and blue shirt with white gloves, something he guessed was common in Atlas.

Bud was from Vasco, Rand had heard that he had transferred from the desert school to the school of Haven academy. Something that surprised Rand to know end, he wore a brown jacket, red boots, green pants and brown sunglasses.

"Auburn, I'm sure you're be glad as hell to get back to Vale… Jasmine, you're in charge of the team if I'm not up… So, I'm going to ask again, what are you guys doing in my room?"

Rand asked, ready to bury his head under his pillow, pretend that his mismatched team wasn't in the same room as him and sleep.

"You know that your cousin is going to be in the tournament? Isn't it cool that your cousin who-…"?

Bud started to ask as Rand rolled his eyes and looked over his shoulder at his partner.

"Yeah, I'm glad that cousin Pyrrha is going to be in the tournament… But that doesn't change the fact that we aren't going to be at the city for another day. We need to settle in, some of us need to train a bit more, and finally, we all need to wait… I know you and Auburn want to tear things up when we get to Vale… But we can't… As for me deciding to lay down and pass out? I realized its going to be a while before we get there and there's little else we can do at the moment to make the time go by faster."

Rand said as his teammates all looked at each other, Rand was usually a down to earth and laid-back person, only Bud knew that he disliked being stuck in one location for long, it held him back.

"Maybe we could hunt some Grimm when we land, Lionheart is being more lenient on us for some reason… I can't place my finger on it."

Bud said as Rand sat up in his bed and turned to face his team.

"Then we hunt down and cut down every Grimm squad that we can… I heard that Vale's outer cities are infected with Grimm…"

Rand said as he sighed and got up, his need for sleep forgotten.

"Then Auburn and Bud are going to duel each other… You two don't have a lot of combat training before the tournament started… Jasmine, I'm going to scope out whom we're up against… Then I'm going to sleep, I'm tired as a sloth and you guys wouldn't let me get some good sleep."

Rand said, grabbing his coat and boots and walking out of the room past his teammates.
