This is a rewrite of my previous FanFiction, Team GREY. I do not own RWBY, that pleasure goes to RoosterTeeth and the fabulous Monty Oum. Some things in this story may be completely different to what happens in the canon. (Note: This chapter has been rewritten)

RWBY: TEAM GREY

Arc 1: Team GREY

Chapter 1: Friendly Competition

Students gathered in the arena, their battle-gear and weapons at the ready

Glynda Goodwitch stood in arena, making sure everyone was in attendance.

"Ok now, listen up students" she folded her arms "We have a second year team here today to show you all what hunters and huntresses can do".

The students murmured among each other, and the red cloaked girl leaned over to whisper to the blonde that stood next to her.

"Yang?" she whispered.

"What is it Ruby?" Yang glanced over at her.

"What's this all about?" Ruby responded.

Her sister shrugged.

A group of four came out into the arena.

The first was large and tall, with bright blue hair. He was wearing a bulky long coat and black trousers. In a holster on his belt, was a sub-machine gun

The second had bright pink hair, with purple streaks. Her hair was tied up either side of her head and she wore armor. On her back, she carried a battle-axe

Third was a mysterious figure, clad in black. His hair was a dark slate grey and a scarf was wrapped around his neck and lower face, fluttering in the wind. His sleeves came over his hands and fluttered with his scarf. He didn't seem to be carrying any type of weapon.

Finally was a short haired, blonde girl. She was in full body suit, with one of the sleeves missing. Her cat ears twitched and she had a staff on her back.

"Who are these guys?" Jaune gulped.

"Team GREY have just come back from a mission" Glynda announced "they are one of the top most group of students in the second year. Allow me to introduce:

Glaucous Marlow,

Rinnette Ash,

Echo Slate, and

Yun Isabelline".

Cardin and Team CRDL looked at Yun and laughed.

"What's new pussy cat?" Cardin laughed.

She growled and grabbed her staff, going to draw it as she stepped forward. Echo held out his arm in front of her and stopped her, looking at her and shaking his head.

"Really?" Yun sulked "fine".

"So what team would like to-" Glynda was interrupted by Echo holding out his sleeve covered hand.

He stepped forward.

"I think Echo wants to fight alone". Glaucous raised his eyebrow, in curiosity.

"Very well. Who would you like as your opponent Mr Slate".

He held up his sleeve covered hand again, it was easy to make out that he was holding up three fingers.

"A three on one match" Rinnette titled her head.

He looked up at the crowd and pointed. His finger immediately directed at Cardin and Echo glared.

His finger moved around and landed at Pyrrha. From under his his scarf it was easy to see he was smirking.

He moved around again and his finger finally landed on Ruby. Echo tilted his head.

The three combatants moved down into the arena as the three other members of Team GREY moved up to the stands.

"What is he doing?" Yang scratched her head.

Yun stood behind Team CRDL. Rinnette took Pyrrha's place where Team JNPR were sitting. Glaucous sat behind Team RWBY, with a thud.

"I don't think Echo found what your leader said, to be funny" Yun sighed. "Punishment".

"Everyone has heard of Pyrrha Nikos. I suppose he wants to test her skills himself". Rinnette smiled "Challenge".

"As for Miss Rose, Echo seems interested by her" Glaucous folded his arms. "Curiosity".

The combatants prepared to fight as Glynda counted down.

Ruby extended her scythe.

Pyrrha drew her spear and shield.

Cardin pulled out his mace.

Echo simply put his hands in his pocket.

She reached zero and Cardin charged forward.

Echo simply stepped aside as the mace came down. He stepped on the weapon as it crashed into the ground, then he jumped off it and slammed his knee into Cardin's chest.

He stumbled back and Pyrrha pounced over him.

Echo countered, slamming his foot into her blade in defense.

He kept his hands in his pocket and kicked her blade out of her hands. Echo tilted his head and jumped, avoiding Cardin and flipping back over him.

As Cardin's mace hit Pyrrha's shield he kicked him on top of her.

She pushed Cardin off her, his Aura depleted. Pyrrha grabbed her spear from the ground and charged. Echo lifted his leg and slammed his heel down into her weapon, directing it into the ground. Sparks flew as the metal scraped against the stone.

The crowd wowed in awe.

Ruby just stood there with her scythe out, unable to attack as she watched in awe.

"I can't redirect his attacks" Pyrrha thought "he's not using or wearing any kind of weapon on his feet".

Echo tilted his head and ran up her blade, placing his hands on her head and somersaulting over her. He landed perfectly on his feet and ducked as Pyrrha swung around.

He turned and simply stood there, waiting.

Pyrrha panted, struggling to keep up.

"Its a rare occasion for Echo to fight on his own" Rinnette giggled.

"He rarely does so" Glaucous sighed "he doesn't even use an type of weapon".

"We call him our Master Strategist for a reason." Yun smirked "he plays around with his opponent as he figures out how to counter their attacks".

Echo grabbed his scarf and pulled it from around his neck. As Pyrrha jumped back and tossed her spear, he whipped his scarf out and used it to yank the spear from the air. He spun it over his head and grinned.

His red eyes glistened as he slammed the spear into the ground and pulled his scarf from it. Pyrrha panted and fell to one knee.

Echo stepped over to her spear and yanked it from the ground. He whipped his scarf back around his own neck, positioning it perfectly as he walked over to the redheaded warrior.

He handed her weapon back to her and turned to look at Ruby. She bit her lip as Echo walked over to her.

Echo raised his arm and she dropped her weapon in panic. Ruby closed her eyes and let out a whimper.

She felt him place his hand on her head. Opening her eyes, she looked up at him as he patted her on the head.

"Smart" he said.

Echo took his hand off her head and walked past her, out of the arena.

There was nothing but silence.

"So who won?" Yang scratched her head.
