"I am starving!" said Lenna "and it's taco day"! "You don't care what day it is" said Bruna "you're always hungry". "With all the work we have been doing" said Lenna "I have been using so much energy lately". "We have been out of school since Jahrestag" said Tuscan "you haven't been expending any energy at all". The team heard a slamming noise and saw a yellow speck fly from the roof of the cafeteria into the sky. "What the heck?" said Bruna. "Something tells me that we shouldn't go in there" said Tuscan. "Or maybe it is something fun!" said Lenna "let's go"! "Lenna wait!" said Tuscan. The two chased the Faunus into the cafeteria. When they got inside they watched team Ruby come to an abrupt stop in front of the wall; leaving a crater in the wall. Before Bruna could ask what was happening team JNPR was thrown into the wall and Ruby leaped away. A vortex of food and other items flew towards them. "Shit!" said Bruna. Bruna braced herself and when she opened her eyes Tuscan had put up a barrier around them which was covered in food. The barrier collapsed and the food just hit the ground. Team JNPR slid off the wall as Ruby tried to look as dramatic as possible. "Definitely the most over the top food fight I've ever seen" said Bruna. Glynda stormed in and set the whole thing back in order. "Children please" she said "do not play with your food". A light pierced the ceiling and Yang came crashing down through one of the tables. Bruna stormed over to team RWBY. "I can't believe you guys" said Bruna "you had a whole food fight without me; I'm hurt". "Fight is an understatement" said Yang "it was a war". Bruna noticed Ozpin and Glynda starting to leave the hall. "And you didn't get in trouble!" said Bruna "when I pull shit like this Glynda jumps on me like that". "That's because you have your vendetta with Ms. Goodwitch" said Tuscan. "It's just because of that pole up her butt" said Bruna "it's so much fun". "You guys wanna hang out?" asked Yang "we're thinking of heading to the". "Oh before I go" said Goodwitch "Bruna can I see you in the headmaster's office; now"? Bruna bowed her head and sighed. "Maybe later then" said Ruby "see you guys".

Bruna sat across from Ozpin at the table; with Glynda behind her. "Nice office" said Bruna "gotta nice; steampunk feel to it". "Bruna" said Ozpin "we need to talk about your recent behavior in school". "Hey I already apologized to Professor Port" said Bruna "and that's who I am so good luck changing that; what you see is what you get". "Watch your tone young lady!" said Goodwitch "I have half a mind to call up you father and". "Glynda, please" said Ozpin "Bruna I know that you are still taking your brothers disappearance pretty hard but be confident in the fact he will be found. I believe that you are simply acting out because you don't have any way of sharing your thoughts". "I know they'll find Cobalt" said Bruna "you don't need to tell me that. And secondly I don't need to share anything with you". "I was hoping you would think otherwise" said Ozpin "before you go there is one more thing". "And what's that?" asked Bruna. "Cobalt going missing has brought you down to a team of three" said Glynda "your father and I have been talking about suitable replacements". "We don't need anything" said Bruna "Cobalt's coming back and when he does I don't want anything to have changed since he left". "That may be so" said Ozpin "but he has been gone for weeks without a trace and the semester is starting up tomorrow. Your father and I have been working to get you your fourth teammate". "I don't care" Bruna began to make her way out "we will be a team of three as long as it takes for Cobalt to come back. I don't care about any of your damn rules"! There was a pause as silence gripped the room; Glynda was struggling to bottle up her frustration. "Very well" said Ozpin "you may go; unless there is anything else for you to say"? "No thanks" Bruna made her way to the door. "One more thing" said Glynda "if your behavior continues as such; your leadership position will also be revoked". "Fine then" Bruna slammed the office door. "How did it go?" asked Lenna. "Great!" said Bruna "now come on; Yang texted me, let's go". "Alot of yelling in there" said Tuscan "what happened". "They want us to replace Cobalt!" said Bruna "he'll be back soon; I know it". "But what if he doesn't?" said Tuscan "something's happening and we need to be prepared to fulfill our sacred duties as Conways". "Oh shut up" said Bruna "I'm not in the mood for the "wise and all knowing" Tuscan". "Look Bruna" said Lenna "we miss Cobalt as much as you do but we need to move on. And maybe it'll be temporary; at least until Cobalt comes back". "Shut up I know" said Bruna "let's just go see RWBY and JNPR".

The trio entered the garden to see the two teams in the plaza. "Okay guys" said Ruby "today's food fight was fun, but we can do better. Unfortunately the binder was drowned in soda and chowder and I have bad memory. So Bruna; since you missed the food fight you get to pick". "Oh god" said Tuscan. "All right guys" said Bruna "this is a game I rocked in combat camp back at Polaris; Capture the Flag"! "I think we have had enough fighting for one day" said Tuscan "how about we prepare for tomorrow's studies"? "Lame!" said Nora. "Since we need two even teams I'll play referee" said Bruna "There are two teams two flags; you need to get their flag but protect your's. You can use you weapons in the same manner you would in sparring. Once your aura is red you are out for the game. It will be team RWBY vs. JNPR to keep it simple; any questions"? "What about us?" Tuscan asked. "Ruby and Jaune will coin toss" said Bruna winner gets the first pick between Tuscan and Lenna". Jaune and Ruby stepped towards each other. "Ladies first" said Jaune. "Heads" said Ruby. "Cus yours are gonna roll!" yelled Yang. "Tails then" said Jaune. "Alright" said Bruna "let's go". Bruna tossed a coin; it landed heads. "Tuscan!" Ruby yelled. "We get Lenna then" said Jaune "what now"? Get to the opposite sides of the garden" said Bruna "each team gets two minutes to get a strategy; I'll be watching from the roof". "Wait" said Weiss "doesn't capture the flag require I don't know, flags"? Bruna dissipated from view and then reappeared with two Beacon flags; one had half torn off. "Take your places on the field!" said Bruna "come up with your strategy and be ready for combat"! RWBY reached their side of the garden with the full flag; JNPR did the same with their half of a flag. "Please contain your fight to the garden by the way!" said Bruna "we want the least amount of collateral damage as possible"! "All right team" said Ruby "our strategy is simple; Tuscan and Weiss guards the flag while the rest of us hit the other side. Any questions"? "Thirty seconds!" said Bruna. "Why him and me on defense?" Weiss asked "a smarter idea would be to put him with Yang". "I'm with snow angel on this one" said Yang "I'll stick around back here; you guys would be faster anyway". "Okay then" said Ruby "let's go team RWBY; and Tuscan"! "Time's up" said Bruna "now have at each other"! Blake, Ruby and Weiss ran off leaving Yang and Tuscan with the flag. "So" said Yang "how are things"? "Weiss's visit to Conway was a political victory" said Tuscan "it was a good step into a peaceful future". "I meant how are things with you?" she said. "I'm decent" said Tuscan "wish I could say that about Bruna". "I already talked to her about that" said Yang "what's wrong now"? "Cobalt's being replaced" said Tuscan "Bruna wants to keep the spot open until he comes back". "I can imagine" said Yang "I would do the same crap if it happened to Ruby". "The good thing is that my parents are working with them on the selection" said Tuscan "just so the two don't but heads". "Make way!" Ruby screamed. Ruby and Weiss were running from a series of explosions. When they reached base the onslaught stopped. "Blake disappeared" said Weiss "we got Ren and Lenna out; Jaune is missing and the rest are on the way". "Everyone get ready" said Tuscan "expect an encirclement". Tuscan put a barrier around the flag while the rest formed a perimeter. It was silent as the crew waited for the strike. All of the sudden the mini garden lamps flew into the air and came crashing down; causing a bright flash. When vision returned everyone was engaged. Nora slammed the ground in front of Tuscan with her hammer; sending him back. She came in again bur Tuscan parried the strike with a small barrier. His mace illuminated with a green light and he swung it faster than usual. The impact was so great that Nora flew clean across the garden, but not before sending a grenade right at him. The impact sent him through the wall behind him. When he opened his eyes he had found he landed in front of a young student. She had long brown hair and rabbit ears and clearly seemed startled. "Hello" said Tuscan. "I'm gonna go" she ran off leaving a page of a newspaper behind. The front page said in bold letters Conway Scores First Political Victory in Ages. "What the?" He said in confusion. "Tuscan!" Weiss yelled "get over here"! Tuscan shoved the paper into a small bag on his belt and charged the closest person. Weiss was finished by Pyrrha who was promptly engaged by Tuscan. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Jaune running away; with the flag. "Jaune has the flag!" screamed Tuscan. "On it!" Ruby took aim at Jaune's back. Pyrrha knocked Tuscan off balance and put Ruby's aura in the red. Tuscan loaded a frost bolt and nailed Jaune in the leg and slowing him down. Tuscan's mace lit up with green and the light transferred over his body. He flew towards Jaune with intense momentum. Pyrrha got in the way at the last second with the shield and blocked the impact. "JNPR wins!" yelled Bruna "thanks to Jaune's clever move". The whole group came together to exchange congratulations. "Nice plan Jaune" said Yang "never saw you coming". "What was that new trick Tuscan?" Ren asked. "I localized the effects of my gravity dust to my weapon and body" said Tuscan "freeing myself from the forces of gravity temporarily". "Let's go round two!" Nora screamed. "WHO DID THIS!" they heard Glynda scream over by the hole in the building where Tuscan crashed through. "Okay who's backing me up here?" said Bruna. She turned around to see that she was alone in the trashed garden. "BRUNA!" Glynda screamed. "Ms. Goodwitch!" said Bruna "have you been exfoliating? Cause you look so young right now". Glynda's red face made it clear that flattery would not let Bruna escape punishment

Tuscan and Lenna where alone in their room chatting. "Well today was a thing" said Lenna "I hope Bruna isn't too mad"? "Damn right I am!" Bruna came in through the door "she made me clean all that up and replant the garden all day! So give me one reason I should skin you both alive"! "This" Tuscan pulled the article from his bag "finally some good news back home". "Viscount Castleton appeals to the world for statehood and a place at the Vytal Festival" said Bruna "the kingdoms are divided on how to respond due tote recent attack on Conway. This reaction is much different than that of last time twenty years ago when his request was promptly denied. More information to follow". "Weiss coming to Conway had some pretty good political benefits" said Tuscan "a Conway and a Schnee shake hands helped undermine stereotypes". "We still got a long way to go though" said Bruna "if only Cobalt could see us now". A pinging noise broke the conversation up. Something shiny rolled of the open windowsill and onto the floor; stopping at their feet. Bruna picked it up to reveal it was a bullet; and it was live ammo.
