Chapter 1: New Student/Student Teacher?

…

Setting: A few weeks before the start of Volume 2.

…

Today all first-year students were called into a last minute assembly. It's only a few days into the second semester start so no one had an idea as to what it was about. Team RWBY sat and talking as they waited for the assembly to start. Their conversation consisting mostly of them guessing what the assembly would be about.

"What if one of our teachers is deathly ill and we're getting a replacement." Yang said a little too enthusiastically. So much in fact that everyone that had heard was now looking at her. Even Blake had looked up from her book.

"Yang that was a bit too far, even for you." Weiss said what everyone was thinking.

"Yeah, it's probably just a new student" Ruby stated trying to take attention of off her embarrassed sister.

"Why would we have a whole assembly for that" Weiss snapped. "It'd be a waste of time." After a few more assorted guesses the assembly finally started with the clicking of heels against the stage floor. She seemed irritated by something based on how loud her steps were.

"Good morning students," she began "Today's assembly is to introduce your new classmate, slash, student teacher." She wasted no time getting to the point and answering why the students were there.

"Particularly called it" Ruby whispered to Weiss followed by her elbowing and telling her to "Shut up."

"I'd like to introduce you all to Ivory White." she said as she motioned to the side of the stage. Weiss gasped when she heard the name of her old friend.

He walked out from backstage onto the stage. He was a tall guy, around 6 foot. He had broad shoulders and his blonde hair was styled up like a wave to the left. He was wearing the usual school uniform. The only thing off about his outfit was the eye patch he had that covered his left eye. Ruby thought it looked cool. Blake felt the opposite.

"My name, as you heard, is Ivory White. You might have heard my name in the news a few years back. Yes, I am the same Ivory White and yes, that attack is how I lost my arm, leg, and mother" He said pulling up his left sleeve to show his mechanical prosthetic,adding to Ruby's cool list, and he did the same for his left leg. His voice was deep compared to Jaune's. "You all are probably wondering what your teacher meant by 'classmate/student teacher'. I have spent the last 7 years training, whether it be it school, personnel or on missions with my parents before the accident and excel in multiple combat styles and use of my semblance. I also have an extremely strong aura. I plan to spend the next four years here at Beacon to both finish in becoming a huntsmen and to help you." He finished and stepped to the side. Ozpin proceeded to take his place.

"As you heard this young man is very skilled and very strong. Therefore he will not be placed in a team but rather he will be on his own. He will, however, be joining various teams here for short periods of time to help that team on missions and in studies. You might think 'this is unfair' but has beyond a doubt proven that he can handle himself in any situation." Ozpin paused followed by the loud rumble of complaining students. "The first team he has been assigned to is team RWBY. Now could everyone, except team RWBY, please head to your next class" Ozpin finished. Ruby was excited because not only was there a cool new guy at school who was also very skilled but he'd be joining team RWBY. Weiss, on the other hand, was less than pleased that she would have to face Ivory so soon after what he did.

The team waited for the crowd of students to head out of the auditorium then made their why up to the stage. Ivory had made his way down off the stage at some point and was now leaning against the stage to greet the team. Ruby was bursting with excitement. Ivory making his initial examination of them as he saw them.

'Red: Short in height. Shortish black and red hair. Wearing a red cape with a hood over her school uniform. An over excited look on her face. Black: Wearing a bow on top of her head and has a cat-like walk. Yellow: Nice long blonde hair. Hit of red in her eyes.' Then he noticed a fourth familiar snowy white girl standing in the back of the group. 'My old friend Weiss Schnee.' He thought. Ruby then pulled his attention away from his old friend and towards her.

"Hi! I'm Ruby Rose! Team leader of RWBY! And might I just say that your arm is really cool!" she said while shaking Ivory's right hand with an unexpectedly strong grip for someone her size.

"Okay. Good straight to names. I'm going apologize now in case I forget any of your names. I'm bad with names." Ivory says to everyone, smiled and pointed at Blake "What's your name?"

"Blake Belladonna." she said quietly but just loud enough that Ivory could hear her over Ruby talk about how cool his arm is while she inspects it. He then points to his fellow blonde.

"Yang Xiao Long." She said smiling nervously as she peels Ruby off his arm. "And sorry about my sister. She gets excited when she thinks something is cool."

"I know it's cool. Right?" Ivory said with a smile and activated the test functions of his arm that are also good for showing off all the functions. It tested all the joints and mechanisms, including loaded and ejected a shell from the build in shotgun. Yang's interest peaked and she got almost as excited as Ruby when she saw the building shotgun.

"What about me?" Weiss sarcastically asked her old friend. The two sisters were now both looking at his arm with excitement.

"I already know you." Ivory replied. "Weiss Schnee, the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." He added. He wanted to add more but didn't want to upset her anymore after what he did.

"How is your dad?" Weiss asked knowing it was a touchy subject for Ivory.

"You know I don't like to talk about him around new people." Everyone was now looking at the two. "So what's your girls' next class?" Ivory changed the subject before it got worse.

"Do you two know each other?" Yang asked what the other three were thinking.

"Yeah we're old friends" Ivory answered. "Anyways, you three" he points at Ruby, Yang, and Blake "can head to class. I'll meet you there after I have a talk with Weiss." The three nodded and head to class, even though they wanted to ask more questions, and left Ivory and Weiss alone.

"He's still a drunk asshole." Ivory say, after the others left, referring to his father. "So that was your team?"

"Yeah not what I expected but their not that bad to be honest," Weiss replies. They start walking in the direction of the 's class. Talking and catching up on the last six months. Ivory patiently awaited the yelling and anger of a future conversation with Weiss, surprised it hasn't happened yet. But Weiss knew, now was not the time for that and that she'd have to wait to ask the questions she had for her old friend.

Okay. So that was chapter one. I have a few more written but I will wait to see what you guys think about it.
