RWBY: Team SLYR

I do not own RWBY no matter how much I want to live in that world, that honor goes to Monty Oum and the guys at Rooster Teeth Production. The only things I own are Team SLYR, and everything about them.

Chapter 1

"When are you going to join us again?"

"Never," The girl who was asked answers flicking her ears in annoyance, "I refuse to join a terrorist Group Adam, I keep telling my family the same thing." With that she tries to walk away.

"We are not a terrorist group!" the one named Adam says grabbing her arm to stop her from leaving.

"You attack the humans for Faunus Equality!" She says pulling her arm from his grip firmly, "You attack the Schnee Dust Company on an almost daily basis, kill anyone you guys can get your hands on that is even associated with them and you don't call that terrorism?!" With that she turns and starts to walk away

"Mark my words Shayne Ryder; you will regret not joining those of the White Fang when you had the chance." Adam says

"Yeah right!" Shayne shoots back over her shoulder in response. "I'm heading to Beacon Academy tomorrow afternoon to start my training to become a Huntress in order to use my gift to help humans and Faunus alike. I will make a difference without resorting to violence and terrorism." With that she starts running with no specific destination in mind just a need to get away from Adam. When she finally stops running she looks around and she sees the familiarity of the Forest of Forever Fall. After a few minutes she starts walking, taking a path she had taken many times over the past few years into a secluded part of the forest stopping in a small clearing across from a small headstone. Walking across the clearing she stops in front of the gravestone and drops to her knees before sitting in front of it.

"Hey Noah," She says, "I'm back again bro. I just had to get away from everyone and my feet brought me here as usual. I figured I should tell you that when I left here yesterday and went home I had a letter from Beacon Academy saying that they were accepting me in their first year class so I am heading there tomorrow afternoon. I promise you that I will do my best to become one of the best huntresses Remnant has ever seen. I refuse to get anyone else killed by running in half-cocked like I did with you. I hope that you will watch over me as I improve my fighting abilities." With that she falls silent sitting quietly. After sitting like that for several minutes she grabs her katana off her back quickly unhooking them from the Uzi strapped to her hip and turning to face an ursa getting ready to attack her

"I suggest you turn and lumber away." She tells it rotating a blade in each hand. In a flash the ursa lunges at her and takes a swipe with its claws catching on her wrist guards and pulling her slightly off balance. Recovering quickly Shayne jumps backwards a few feet, "You chose the wrong Faunus to mess with Grimm." She tells it, her teeth sharpening into fangs before she springs forward using one of her blades to cut one of the ursa's front legs. With a roar the ursa favoring its injured leg for a moment, recovers quickly and renews its attack, managing to land a hit on Shayne's arm leaving deep claw marks down her left arm. With a snarl of pain and anger Shayne focuses her aura and suddenly her katana crackle with electricity before she swings both blades and severs the ursa's head from its body. After watching the body disintegrate she turns towards her brother's gravestone and simply stares, lost in thought, as blood runs slowly down her arm. After a few minutes she hears a twig snap to her right and she turns towards the sound, catching a glimpse of blonde hair, before she hooks her katana back to the Uzi and placing them in the sheaths on her back.

"I had a feeling I would find you here." The newcomer says stepping into full view before catching a glimpse of the blood. "What happened Shayne? Who hurt you?" she asks her eyes turning from a light pink to almost red in a matter of seconds.

"Relax Leah," she tells her, "I'm fine, it is just a little cut. I got into a bit of a disagreement with an Ursa and it somehow managed to land a hit on me which was a mistake on its part. I took it out moments later using my semblance on my blades."

"At least let me look at it." Leah tells her pulling a small first aid kit out of her bag.

"Yeah that's probably a good idea." Shayne replies and sits on the ground pulling off her wrist guards. Walking over and sitting down as well Leah gently takes hold of Shayne's injured arm and looks at the claw marks.

"The good news is that the claw marks are not all that deep. The bad news is that you will probably have trouble using your left arm for the next few weeks." Opening the first aid kit she pulls out a small container of water, disinfectant and a roll of bandages. "This may sting a bit," with that she rinses off the blood with the water, pours the disinfectant into the lacerations, causing Shayne to snarl in pain, and starts wrapping the arm in bandages.

"Thanks Leah," Shayne says as her arm is released, "By the way I think I should let you know that I am leaving tomorrow." She tells her glancing once again at her brothers grave, "I got accepted into Beacon Academy just like I vowed I would when I got Noah killed."

"He would be so proud of you." Leah says, "I may not know much about Noah since he died saving me, but from what little you've told me about him, he would be ecstatic about it."

"Yeah, he probably would be." Shayne says with a sad smile

"Hey let's head into Vale." Leah says suddenly climbing to her feet and holding out her hand for Shayne to take.

"Why?" Shayne asks,

"Because you deserve a bit of a break." Leah tells her, "Come on be spontaneous for once!"
"Spontaneity is what killed Noah. I acted spontaneous jumping in to save you from that beowolf pack, I was overpowered, and my brother came to save the both of us. We managed to save you, thank god, but me acting spontaneous is what fatally wounded Noah and he ended up dying in my arms. So I generally avoid spontaneous activities."

"What happened to Noah was a tragedy but I think Noah would be sad if he found out that you were afraid to act spontaneous like any other teenager does. Besides, we are just heading into town, what's the worst that could happen in Downtown Vale?"

"Fine," Shayne says taking ahold of Leah's hand and climbing to her feet with Leah's help, "I just hope I don't end up regretting this."
