So, with the hype for Season 4, I somehow found my will to write again, and now I am beginning a rewrite of my first RWBY Fic, 'Enter Team RTZU'. I promised myself if I didn't at least have the Prologue up before Season 4 started, I would let my friend hit me upside the head with an assortment of heavy metal objects, ranging from Frying Pan to Sledgehammer.

So, since I like not having a concussion, I figured I could buckle down and finish the Prologue today. Which I did.

Also, for any of you who have seen the original (which kind of lost steam rather quickly, due to a few things I screwed up), there is going to be quite a few changes. Here are the most major ones:

- A number of Custom Grimm

- More side stories (to show off Team RTZU in their full greatness)

- Longer, more drawn-out chapters (that way it's worth the wait)

- No Team BEWK (I like them, but I think they should stay in their own universe. This is RTZU's Story, and what they do is completely separate from BEWK).

But yea, those are the major changes that will make this fic even better than the original.

Enjoy.

Ruby was already bored, waiting for orientation to begin. She had decided to wander around Beacon Campus a little more. And along the way, she found a little training room, and saw someone inside, beating away at a heavy bag. Curious, she ventured in, to see quite the sight.

At the heavy bag stood a young man, looking no older than 16, with short blond hair (dyed red at the bangs), who was punching away at the bag like he wanted to kill it.

The first thing Ruby noticed about him was that he looked rather sickly. He was a near-vampiric pale, and even though he was rather well covered, she could tell he was obviously rather thin. This only helped to make her shocked at how hard he was hitting the heavy bag (with bare knuckles, no less).

Next up, she noticed his attire, which she could only describe as worn. He wore a maroon hoodie, with a large number of stitch marks on it, implying that it has been cut open a number of times. His pants were the same, the only difference being that they were pure black, and the stitch marks were less noticeable.

The only thing on him that seemed even remotely normal were the maroon converse on his feet, and the grey belt, with a silver buckle. But other than that, he seemed entirely creepy.

All Ruby could do was watch the unknown fighter in action.

He wailed on the heavy bag, throwing punches, kicks, knees, and elbows with incredible speed, all of which looked to be shaking the heavy bag to its core. And from the looks of it, he wasn't even using weapons at the moment.

'That's really cool,' She thought to herself, 'I just hope he doesn't get caught.' Turning back, she checked to see if anyone was in the hall. The moment she turned around, the fighter was right in front of her, startling the girl, and causing her to fall onto her butt.

When she got back up, she noticed the man's eyes. There was something extremely odd about them. Much like herself, this individual's eyes were silver, but his looked… lifeless and cold.

And then, he shot her a very creepy smile.

"Well well," he said, his voice a bit raspy, but also full of confidence, "I see I'm not the only one too excited to wait. Well, welcome to the show!"

Almost immediately, Ruby felt a little creeped out. She wasn't sure what it was, but there was something about this guy that had her feeling a little disturbed.

Maybe it was the fact of how she felt a chill in the air when she saw him. It wasn't a normal chill, but she could kind of tell it was coming from him. His aura must be rather strong if it was enough for her to feel it from as far away as she could. But even so, she felt the chill, but it felt more like a calming chill, rather than just pure cold.

Or maybe it was the fact of that look on his face. She didn't really trust that smile. It looked like the kind that a murderer puts on right before they stab their victims, and it was rather unsettling. But at the same time, she could see in his eyes that he wasn't going to kill anyone.

So far, she had a mixed opinion, based on what she could tell from the guy.

"What are you doing here," Ruby asked out of nowhere, surprising even herself. The man just told her "The door was open, so I decided to sneak in some practice before Orientation."

That made certain bits of info click in the back of Ruby's mind. She could already guess that this guy was a fighter, but now that she knew what he was doing here, it made a little more sense. But, she did have one question, which she forgot to ask first.

"Who are you?"

The man let out a creepy laugh (which only helped to disturb Ruby), before he said. "Oh right, I forgot about intros. My name is Rin Taiyo, but most people call me the 'That freak with the blood fetish'!"

Ruby gulped unconsciously, a bit weirded out by how he could say that with a smile.

"And unless I'm mistaken, you're Ruby Rose, right?"

That shocked Ruby quite a bit. "How did you know that!?"

"I saw you for around in that brief time that I was at Signal. I'm honestly kinda surprised to see that you're here."

And with a jolt, Ruby remembered.

She had seen Rin once before, but was so disturbed when she watched him fight, that she tried to avoid him entirely. Now, only a few weeks later, she had run into him again, and she didn't even remember him at first. That was surprising, but it was helpful.

She had always been taught that first impressions are usually important, but maybe she hadn't gotten a good enough impression of Rin.

Thus far, he seemed like a decent guy.

"So Ruby," Rin asked, his creepy smile gone, and replaced with a much warmer one, "I'm guessing you didn't come here just to hear me talk. You wanna have a match?"

*Ring Ring*

"Attention," a voice said over the intercom, "All first years come to the main hall for orientation. Repeat, all first years come to the main hall for orientation."

"Ah damn," Rin said, "And here I was so excited to show you what I can do." He casually put his fists down, and shrugged. "Oh well, I'm sure I'll get my chance. I'd love to see what you can do!"

This caused Ruby to smile, and to blush a bit. "Same. Maybe when we're all settled in, we could spar?"

For once since the conversation started, Rin's creepy smile died down, turning into a warm one. "I'd like that," he said, "I'd like that a lot."

Immediately after Orientation, Ruby talked to Yang, who was more than willing to listen to her sister's first day.

"So, you told me about the bad stuff," Yang said with a smile, "But did anything good happen?"

"Oh yeah," Ruby said, remembering her chance encounter, "I met someone from Signal. You ever hear of someone named Rin Taiyo?"

"That freak with the blood fetish," Yang questioned.

"See, Ruby! I told you!"

Upon hearing that slightly raspy voice, both Ruby and Yang turned back, to see the certain weirdo in question standing in front of them, his creepy smile back.

"I told you people call me that," he said, sounding almost proud of it, "My reputation precedes me!"

Yang looked over to him, and gave him a bit of a forced smile. "That's not exactly something to be proud of, little man," She told him, to which Rin responded with a smile, and by telling her, "Maybe to you. But to me, it just proves that people pay attention."

Ruby smiled. "I guess that's one way of looking at it."

"But that's not the point," he said, whipping his head to each side, as if looking for someone frantically, "Have you seen a wannabe Samurai in a phantom mask? He said he was here."

"Uh, nope. Sorry Rin."

As if expecting that, Rin began to give a low chuckle, which both Ruby and Yang seemed to silently cringe at. "Zane, I'm gonna find ya," he said quietly, almost sounding like he wanted to murder this 'Zane', "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

Without another word, Rin gave a maniacal laugh, before zooming off in some other direction, and leaving the two sisters on their own, and confused as all hell.

"It's amazing that he got in here," Yang said, "Didn't he only spend like 2 weeks in Signal?"

Ruby just shrugged, and said "Well, whatever the reason, it's cool. At least now, I have someone a little closer to my age to talk to."

"You're not actually going to talk to him are you? He's freaking creepy."

"Yang, you barely know him. That's not nice."

The two sisters spent a few seconds in silence, before Ruby gave her sister a smile. "Trust me on this," she told Yang, "I don't think he's that bad. He hasn't tried to stab me or anything yet. It'll be fine." To any other thing, Yang would have just smiled and agreed, but she had met Rin a few times outside of Signal. She knew how brutal he could be, and she didn't want to risk her sister getting hurt like that.

But then again, Ruby was shooting her the puppy dog eyes, and no one was immune to that. Not even her...

"Alright, alright," Yang surrendered, "I guess it will be fine. If you wanna hang out with him, then go ahead. But just promise me one thing?"

"What's that?"

Without warning, Yang grabbed her little sister, and put her in a gentle headlock.

"Just be careful, will you?"

Ruby laughed as she tried to escape Yang's headlock, and said "Okay, I will."

So, here you go. Much like the previous version of this story, I have started with a prologue introducing Rin, and showing how Ruby and Yang each react to him. I tried to make him a little bit more creepy than the previous version, but it's honestly a bit difficult.

That being said, I hope you like this chapter, and I hope to keep you entertained as Rin and his friends make their way through Beacon in the coming chapters. So, as always, read, review, all that good stuff.

Until next time.
