"Yang! Get up! We gotta go soon!" -The sound of a high pitched voice could be heard from a distance as the source was coming from the bathroom. The sight of a long blonde haired girl getting up of bed could be seen as she was half-asleep. She yawned and blinked a few times and stretched her arms as she walked over to the bathroom as she looked over to see a dark haired girl with her red outlined hair as she was on her phone as she was listening to the song "Nandemonaiya"-
"The sorrowful gust of wind that blew right between you and me
Where did it find the loneliness it carried on the breeze?
Looking up at the sky after shedding a stream of tears
I could see for miles of blue, it's never been so clear
Speeches that my father gave me would always make me despair
Somehow, I feel a warmth and comfort today
Your ever kind heart, the way you smile, and even how you find your dreams
I knew nothing, so honestly, I've always copied you
Now, just a little more
Only just a little more
Let's stay here a little longer now
Now, just a little more
Only just a little more
Let's stick together just a little bit longer
Oh yes, we are time fliers
Scaling the walls of time, climber
Tired of playing hide and seek with time and always coming just short
Crying even when you're happy
Smiling even when you're feeling lonely
It's because a part of you
Has made it here before the rest has
I used to wish upon the stars, the toys that I once adored
Forgotten now, are rolling 'round the corners of the floor
Finally, my dreams have counted up to a hundred today
Someday, I'll trade them all for just the very one
Girl that I have seen in school, that never have told "hello"
After class today, I waved and said, "See you tomorrow"
It's not really that bad trying something new every once in a while
Especially if I can do it with you by my side
Now, just a little more
Only just a little more
Let's stay here a little longer now
Now, just a little more
Only just a little more
Let's stick together just a little bit longer
Oh yes, we are time fliers, so, and I
I knew who you were way before...
Way before I even knew my own name
There's no clue, but I'm sure, I swear
Even if you're not around in this wide world
Of course it surely would have some kind of meaning
But if when you're not around in this crazy world
Would be like the month of August without summer break
And if you're not around in this great world
Would be like Santa Claus without any glee
If you're not around in this wide world
Oh yes, we are time fliers
Scaling the walls of time, climber
Tired of playing hide and seek with time and always coming just short
No, never mind that
No, never mind what I said now
'Cause I'm on my way to you
Oh, we are time fliers
Dashing up the steps of time now
No more playing hide and seek with you and time
And always coming just short
You're quite a showy crier
Want to stop your tears, see your eyes drier
But when I went to wipe your tears dry
You refused but I saw them pouring down your face, I knew why
Crying even when I'm happy
Smiling even when I'm feeling lonely
It's because the heart of mine
Has made it here before my body"
-As Yang was brushing her teeth, a long dark haired girl with a bow on her head was brushing Yang's hair while Ruby and Weiss were on their beds as they were putting on their clothes-
Yang: -She yawned loudly after she had gargled and brushed her teeth- Why are we getting up so early again?
Blake: There's a special battle class today and apparently Ruby wants us to participate in it.
Yang: A battle class?
Blake: We'll be going against another team, one by one first and then four vs four battle. We'll get credits for participating and it'll help our grades.
Yang: So if we win the fights, do our points go up?
Blake: Yeah, it'll bring us to a higher rank and we may get to be the top of the entire academy.
Yang: So all we gotta do is fight, huh? Sounds simple enough.
Weiss: Let's not get too carried away Yang. We don't know who we might go up against.
Ruby: Yeah! If we end up fighting Jaune's group, we might face a bit of problem since Pyrrha, Ren and Nora are tough!
Yang: Funny how you left out Jaune when he's obviously the most gifted one in the group.
Ruby: He may be able to heal people and stuff but he's still wimpy!
Yang: Ouch. Poor dude. Let's hope Weiss will cheer him up then.
Weiss: Hmph. -She said as she had her normal white dress with her rapier equipped-
-Minutes later after the RWBY group had finished changing into their casual outfits, they headed straight to the courtyard of the academy and as they were there, they saw a large crowd around the courtyard-
Weiss: Why is everyone out here?
Yang: Maybe there's a fight going on right now?
Ruby: Look! Over there! -She pointed as there were large number of groups of people walking to different directions in groups of four- The second years!
Blake: The seniors of our academy.
Yang: We had second years?
Weiss: Ah yes, the second years went on an expedition during our enrolment, that's why we didn't see them when we had first arrived.
Blake: That explains a lot then.
Yang: What about the third years?
Weiss: We don't have any third years, once the second years graduate, they become Huntsmen.
Yang: Now that, I didn't know.
Weiss: Maybe you guys should really learn more about Beacon before enrolling.
Ruby: Bacon?! -She quickly turned to Weiss as she got excited-
Weiss: "Beacon"!
Ruby: Oh, I thought you said "Bacon", my bad.
Weiss: Jeez... Hmm? G-Guys. Look. -Everyone would then turn their attention to a group. The sight of a white haired male with a long white coat could be seen walking through the crowd of First Year students as he was walking with his team, the male had dark purple eyes but did not seem to have any weapon on him or any of his team members, from the sight of the team, they attracted a lot of attention to themselves as the short haired girl known as Ruby along with her sister Yang and her two teammates Weiss and Blake saw the team and were curious about them and as Ruby was curious about the group, she quickly ran up to them and stood in front of the group-
Ruby: U-Um! E-Excuse me!
Man: Yes? -The white haired male stopped walking as he was stopped by Ruby in front of him-
Ruby: May I ask for your name?
Man: Mine, huh?
Girl: Oh hey, you got a new fan! Go ahead, dude! Tell her!
Man: Arsene. Arsene Tale. -Ruby simply looked up at the male as she was excited at the sight of the man-
Ruby: Mr. Tale!
Arsene: "Arsene" is fine. -He said with a smile on his face as the other three members of RWBY would then show up behind Ruby-
Weiss: Ruby! What you did there was just rude!
Ruby: Eh?! Was it?
Weiss: I-I'm so sorry for my leader's intolerable manners! -She said as she elegantly bowed down to Arsene. Arsene's eyes widened to see the white haired girl bow down to him as she would then stand up straight and look up at him in the eyes as their eyes met-
Ruby: B-By the way, where are your weapons?
Arsene: Our weapons? I'm sorry but it's not something that I'd simply show to people.
Ruby: Huh? Why not?
Arsene: Ah well... That's because..
Weiss: Ruby! Show some respect! Now you're just being insensitive!
Ruby: W-What? I am? I-I'm sorry!
Arsene: Ah, it's not a problem. Now if you'll excuse us, we need to go.
Weiss: Ah yes! Of course! And of course, I'm really sorry about my leader!
Arsene: Not at all. -He said with a calming smile on his face as he and his team would then leave and enter the building of the academy. Once Arsene's group was gone, Weiss sighed in relief as she quickly turned to Ruby as she looked at Ruby angrily-
Ruby: W-Was it something I said?
Weiss: Yes! Why are you always like this?!
Ruby: W-What do you mean?
Weiss: They were our seniors! They just came back from a tough mission and you just ran up to them because you were curious? They deserved to have a warm heartwarming welcome! Not get questioned when they arrived!
Ruby: But I was just-
Yang: N-Now now, let's all calm down and not get into any fights, alright? Ruby is still new at this and she's still the youngest in the group, you gotta cut her some slack, Weiss.
Weiss: Hmph! Unforgivable!
Blake: You say that but I saw that you were staring into his eyes just a moment ago.
Weiss: -Her eyes widened as she blushed madly and crossed her arms as she looked away- Th-That was just...I-It was coincidence that our eyes happen to meet!
Blake: Didn't seem like it to me.
Weiss: Ugh! Whatever! -She got irritated as she would then walk away and head inside the academy as Yang chuckled softly as Ruby, Yang and Blake would then follow behind Weiss with the many other groups as they all went to the academy hall to listen to Professor Ozpin and behind him was Arsene and his group-
Ozpin: Students of Beacon, today is a grand day for me to introduce to you all the strongest and most finest members of Beacon. Team ASTR, known as: Team Asteroid. The second years have returned from their long journey to the far land of the East and was merged victorious against the hordes of Grimm, but today, you all will be facing Team Asteroid. First match will be a one on one match, if any one amongst your team beats one member of Team Asteroid, the next match will be a team versus team match. If you succeed in defeating Arsene's team, your grades and credits will move up by 80%. -After what Ozpin had said to the first years, everyone got excited and as team RWBY was listening, Arsene looked down and saw them as he waved and smiled at them and the only one to notice Arsene was Weiss as she had blushed slightly and waved back at him and smiled back- Now, students, it's time to prepare.
-Within the passing hours, everyone gathered in the training grounds as Arsene stood in the center of the area as Pyrrha Nikos would walk out of the entrance as she had her armour on-
Pyrrha: It is a pleasure to meet you.
Arsene: Likewise. -He said with a smile as he did not budge and was not moving from his spot as he had his hands in his pockets-
-An old man of an early old age appeared as it was one of the teachers known as: Peter Port as he stood beside Ozpin and spoke through the microphone-
Peter: Begin!
Pyrrha: Hyaa! -She yelled as she ran towards Arsene at top speed and as she was running towards him, the ground would begin to shake as Pyrrha stopped running- W-What's going on?
Jaune: Pyrrha! Be careful!
Nora: Why do I get the feeling that something bad is going to happen to her?
Ren: I feel the same way, Nora. -Jaune, Ren and Nora were at the entrance where Pyrrha came out from as they were concerned for Pyrrha. Walls of ice would then appear around Pyrrha as they were forming out of thin air-
Pyrrha: What?! Wh-What's this?!
-Up in the teacher's viewing area-
Peter: Hahaha! As expected of Sir Arsene, his abilities is truly unique!
Ozpin: He's really powerful. I'm glad that I had chosen him.
Glynda: -The blonde haired woman sat beside Ozpin- He may be powerful but he's still just a child.
Ozpin: Now now,, let's not just assume that he's a child, he has passed many tests into becoming a true Huntsman and his weapons are the far most powerful weapons I've seen in my entire life.
Glynda: Now that I would agree.
-In a swift instant, Pyrrha was knocked out by the ice barrier and was pushed back into the entrance that she had came from-
Peter: Arsene Tale has won this match!
Ren: Looks like I'm up.
Jaune: W-Wait! Look.. -Jaune stopped Ren as everyone would get quiet as Arsene jumped up from where he stood and landed in front of the teachers-
Arsene: Professor Ozpin.
Glynda: Why are you here? Get back down there!
Ozpin: -He raised his right hand to Glynda, telling her to stop- Yes?
Arsene: Give 50% credits to everyone except to your most favourite first year group.
Ozpin: Oh? Are you negotiating with me?
Arsene: I'll go against all four members of your most powerful first year team, if they beat me, I'll give them 80% of my credits.
Ozpin: You want to end this quick, don't you?
Arsene: There is a reason why Saber, Ray and Terra are not here with me right now, and it's because they think it's a waste of time to participate in an event like this.
Ozpin: -He chuckled softly- I guess you're right. Very well, I'll choose my best team to go up against you.
Arsene: Thank you, sir. -He said as he jumped back down to the center of the training grounds-
Peter: -He spoke through the microphone- Ahem! There has been a change of plans! Sir Arsene would like to handle this program quickly so he has given everyone here 50% credits! -Everyone would then cheer loudly and excitedly- BUT! one team! Team RWBY will go up against Sir Arsene Tale. Four versus One.
Ruby: Eh?! O-Our team?! Us?!
Blake: Is he underestimating us?
Yang: D-Does he have a grudge on us or something?
Weiss: You see Ruby?! This is what happens when you disrespect people who are older than you! Now we need to face the consequences and face him head on!
Ruby: S-Sorry..
Yang: Ugh whatever, let's just go, guys. We can beat him!
Ruby: Y-Yeah! I think..
-Moments later as team RWBY entered the training grounds, Peter shouted in the mic: "BEGIN!" and once he did, forms of monsters would appear around the group as they were all made out of ice-
Ruby: W-What are these?!
Yang: Agh! God! What the Hell! -She yelled as she punched a few of the ice creatures out of the way but was swarmed by them-
Blake: He's summoning them.
Ruby: What is his power anyway?!
Yang: No idea but just beat'em up! -As the monsters were charging towards Yang from a distance, she would load her gauntlets and fire her ammo at them, causing them to explode upon impact while Blake back-stabbed many of the ice creatures, one at a time as she was running towards Arsene along with Yang, Weiss and Ruby-
"They're holding out against the Horde? Not bad." -Arsene thought to himself as Yang was the first one to reach him as she raised her right arm at him as Arsene would then turn to his left and dodge Yang's attack as he made an ice barrier behind him, making sure Yang wouldn't reach him. Blake would then attack him from above as Arsene created an ice roof from the wall behind him, thus blocking Blake's attack as she got her blade stuck on the ice. Ruby swiftly rushed up to Arsene as the male was caught by surprised by Ruby's speed as he quickly dodged Ruby's swing and jumped out of her way as he got behind Ruby and made an ice barrier, thus trapping Ruby inside the barrier. Flames would then come crashing down onto Arsene as he looked up to see that Yang had fired her shells from her gauntlets. Arsene jumped up right towards Yang as he pulled his hands out from his pocket and grabbed Yang's palms with his own and then kicked her down to the ice barrier, knocking her down with Blake and Ruby-
-Up above in the viewing area, the sight of three students were seen as they were the same students that were with Arsene before-
Girl: That blonde girl is all brute force, I'd like to go up against her someday! -Said the long redheaded girl as she had maple coloured eyes and had her hair tied up like a ponytail, making her look a little similar to Pyrrha but more mature-
Man: I feel ya, Terra. I wanna see what that little Rose girl could do against me. -Said the dark haired male with white outlines on his hair-
Girl 2: Now Ray just wants to show off his arsenal to her because he thinks that she's cute.
Ray: Now that's just uncalled for, Saber!
Terra: Haha! You like little girls!
Ray: S-Shut up!
Saber: -The long haired brunette with green eyes stared down at arena and watched Arsene fight against Ruby's team- The white haired one could be a challenge for Arsene.
Terra: Oh? What makes you say that?
Saber: Why not look at her?
Terra: Hmm? -She looked down to see Weiss running through the battlefield to reach Arsene but was pulled back because he was fighting against the other three and she didn't want to get caught in the crossfire- Is it because she's pretty?
Ray: Phew! -He whistled- She's a real babe, alright!
Terra: Pervert.
Ray: Say what you want, girl, I'm a true man! In and out!
Terra: You don't even have a girlfriend!
Ray: Not like you got a boyfriend!
Terra: That's because I got ma Arsene~ He's enough for me~
Ray: Pfftt!
Terra: Oh shut up.
Saber: Shh! Look. -Everyone would then turn their attention back to the fight-
Yang: Agh..Wow, he packs quite a punch...
Blake: You just had to go aggro on him..
Yang: That's what I do best.
Ruby: I-I still don't see his weapon!
Blake: We're fighting against him to get our points up and you're still concerned about his weapon?
Ruby: If I know what weapon he's using, I might be able to come up with a plan!
Yang: I guess that's true, you would always study your opponent's weapons first and then make a plan after that..
Blake: L-Look.. -She pointed as Weiss was holding off Arsene on her own as she was aggressively attacking him without stopping for a second-
-As Weiss was attacking Arsene, she was also dancing as she tried to pierce her rapier to hit the man but he kept dodging as he would then jump back to keep his distance. Weiss held her rapier up and pointed it at Arsene as she had her right hand behind her back. Arsene would put his hands in his pocket and pull them out as he took out two stop watches from his pockets. The watches would then transform into dual frost pistols that were connected to his arm as he would then begin firing bullet shells made out of ice at Weiss as the white haired girl jumped and twirled towards Arsene as she dodged his attacks, once she got close, she swung her rapier at him but was unable to hit him as his right handgun had transformed into a a silver katana-
Weiss: Just...How many weapons do you have?
Arsene: "Hisame" has many more forms than this, Milady. -He said as the two would jump back and kept their distance. Weiss turned her weapon's cartridges as her blade glowed white blue. Arsene transformed his other gun into a katana as well as he would then combine the two to create a long length Muramasa as it had a white glow on it and was giving off freezing aura around the blade. Both Weiss and Arsene would then charge towards each other with their blades swinging at each other as everyone else watched the two fight as it was horrifying but also beautiful at the same time. Minutes later, the two stopped as they were both behind their backs and were panting heavily as they both fell on their knees and dropped their weapons, the two would then sit up and lay on each other's back as both Arsene and Weiss were sweating- You're good, very good, extremely skilled.
Weiss: Th-Thank you, you're also extremely skilled.
Arsene: N-No no, not as good as you!
Weiss: Oh please, I'd say that you're better.
Arsene: Not at all, it's obvious that you're more skilled with the blade than I am.
Weiss: -She blushed slightly and smiled- Th-Thank you..
-Ruby, Yang and Blake would then surround Arsene and pointed their weapons at him as the male chuckled softly and raised his right hand-
Peter: Team RWBY is VICTORIOUS! -Everyone cheered loudly as they all clapped from seeing Ruby's team winning the match, Ruby helped Weiss up as the white haired male would look at Weiss and smiled at her as she would smile back at him-
Arsene: Apologies but may I ask for your name?
Weiss: Weiss. Weiss Schnee.
Arsene: Miss Schnee, you have my full-on respect and gratitude. It was an honour to fight against someone as strong as you are and one who fights elegantly and beautifully than anyone else.
Weiss: -She chuckled softly and blushed- Hehe, if that is your pickup line, then I suggest that you should learn a little bit more. -She said as she joked with him-
Arsene: -His eyes widened after hearing what Weiss said as he chuckled as well and blushed slightly- Then perhaps I should take a few lessons from my friends then!
Ruby: -She pouted at the sight of Arsene and Weiss having a friendly conversation as she would then interrupt the two- ALL RIGHT! It's time to go, Princess!
Weiss: Huh?! W-Wait! I was just-
Ruby: Nope! We're going! Now!
-Blake followed behind Ruby and Weiss as Weiss waved goodbye to Arsene as he'd wave back at her and Yang would stand next to Arsene-
Yang: Hey.
Arsene: Ah, hello. Your moves back there were really aggressive and powerful, they were magnificent.
Yang: Haha! Thanks! My name's Yang! Yang Xiao Long! Pleasure to meet ya, Arsene. -She said as she held Arsene's hand and shake his hand as he'd smile at her happily- By the way, are you doing anything tomorrow?
Arsene: Tomorrow? I don't think so, why?
Yang: Let's hang out around the school then!
Arsene: Sure, of course. Where and what time?
Yang: Hmm~ Oh! Here! -She grabbed an ice block that was on the ground and a stone as she began writing on the block and once she was done, she passed the block to Arsene- it's my phone number, call me~ -She winked at Arsene as she left and followed up with the other girls-
Arsene: What an unusual group. -He chuckled and smiled-
-TO BE CONTINUED-

Did you know that Arsene's weapons' name is "Hisame"? It means "Ice Storm" in Japanese. His weapons' forms is a stop watch, dual IMI Desert Eagle and double wielded Daishō blades, the longest Katana-type blades which can be combined together to create Arsene's most powerful blade known as the "Muramasa", the blade is as long as Arsene's body from his foot to his head, it can cut off any man's head off in an instant and is lighter than paper to Arsene as the weapons was made only to be used by him as Hisame was genetically crafted by Arsene himself when he was a child.
