INTRO:

The biggest smile nor the loudest laugh can never hide the pain of the past.

It was after the battle in the middle of Vale. The Huntsman in training and hunters had successfully defeated the Grimm and captured and arrested Roman Torchwick. Everything seemed in balance and normal. The Vytal Festival took place, with Pyrrha winning the entire tournament. The girls made it through their first year at Beacon, thinking everything was normal, but that seemed to good to be true.

Because it was.

Chapter 1: Transfers and the New Guy

It was the first day of the girl's second year of Beacon Academy. It turns out that both Sun and Neptune have transferred over to Beacon to be with their newfound friends and comrades. They all met up in the courtyard to see the influx of new—and transferring—students, one of which stood out the most. He had hair like Jaune, only longer and dark like Blake's. He had eyes as green as the streak in his hair, like summer grass on a beautiful day. He had a green streak in his hair that didn't cover much hair, but was enough to be visible from afar. He wore a grey leather coat over a dark green shirt, with a black bandana around his neck and dark jeans with black combat boots. He carried two katana on his back, laying horizontal where his belt loops were. The scabbard for his weapons was green, with a stranger engravement on it. He walked in with his head held high, but with a menacing arrogant look. As he walked by, he stared down the group, eyeing especially Ruby and Jaune standing side-by-side.

RUBY: Wow, what was his deal?

JAUNE: Somebody looks like he woke up with an Ursa in his bed.

YANG: Something seems off about him. He just seems, angry, yet calm.

PYRRHA: Yeah, I felt it too. Do you think we should keep an eye on him? Just in case he's working for Roman.

JAUNE: No. Come on guys, relax. He's just a new guy who's probably scared and afraid and has no friends- just like me on the first day.

SUN: No, no. I know that guy. He was at Haven with me and Neptune. Do you remember him?

NEPTUNE: Yeah I do. He was the guy who basically shut out his entire team for the whole year. Wasn't his name like, Flicky Doon or something?

SUN: Dude I don't know! I never talked to the guy ever.

BLAKE: Guys who cares about what his name is or what he did with his former team? He's a Beacon student now, so we have to make him feel welcomed.

WEISS: Ooooorrrrr, we can go get some food and forget about Picky June.

JAUNE: I second that.

NORA: I want pancakes!

RUBY: Guys no. Like Blake said, he's here at Beacon now, so we have to make him feel welcomed.

YANG: Yeah. Who knows, he might just actually be a nice person if we can get to know him. Like Weiss, but without all the yelling.

WEISS: Hey, I DO NOT YELL!

NORA: She says as she yells.

WEISS: Can it Nora!

RUBY: Alright guys. Let's go find this new guy!

JAUNE: After we go get some food!

Pyrrha slaps him on the back of the head and gives him a "don't be so damn stupid" face.

JAUNE: Owwwww. Fine. Let's go find this new guy.
