Old Family

Team GENY was the one to initiate the battle. Each member knocked away a member from team RWBY to make it one on one again. The battles ended up being the counterparts fighting each other, Ruby vs. Garnet, Weiss vs. Eis, Blake vs. Noire, and Yang vs. Yin.

Ruby and Garnet were simply dashing around everywhere, roses flying everywhere, both Crescent Roses shooting out bullets to increase their momentum, with the occasional dash towards each other for a quick strike before dashing off again.

Weiss and Eis started of using dust and countering with an opposing type of dust. Eventually they both ran out and had to resort to basic fencing, which both of them were highly skilled in, parrying each other constantly.

Blake and Noire were both untouchable. Every time one would attack, the other would dodge. At some point they resorted to shooting Gambol Shroud and using the kusarigama form to attack from a distance, but they still managed not to ever hit each other.

Yang and Yin just went full on combat mode. Throwing punches and kicks left and right, firing Ember Cecilia, blocking and canceling out each other's attacks with another attack. Somewhere along the lines of this fight it started to look more like a violent dance of death than a fight.

Eventually things went downhill for both teams. Ruby and Garnet both ran out of ammo mid-dash and crashed into a wall, effectively knocking them both out. Weiss and Eis managed to stab each other, then disarm each other, and fall down in pain. Yang and Yin just tired themselves out and fell to the floor. This left Blake and Noire, dodging around each other, swinging their blades, and with their teammates down, the stakes were high.

The two finally managed to get into close range; they switched Gambol Shroud into gun form and aim at each other's head, firing at the same time. They flew back a bit, but regained their balance and charged at each other. They both stopped, with blades at both necks, when the old man called out, "STOP!" The two immediately put down their blades and looked at the old man.

"The judges have reached an early decision." The old man announced, "This match is officially a draw!" The audience murmured a bit then started cheering and applauding loudly.

Noire and Blake went to go check on their teams. Weiss and Eis managed to get up fine; they stood up and grabbed their respective Myrtenasters. Yang and Yin, on the other hand, had to slowly get up with their arms around each other's neck, using each other to support their weight. When they got to Ruby and Garnet they started discussing ways to wake them up.

"I could always stab those two awake." Weiss suggested

"No Weiss, what we need is some sort of sugary food. That always wakes Ruby up!" Yang said

"Garnet's the same way. Hey Noire, you still got some sugar left?" Yin inquired.

"Yeah, I do, hold on." Noire pulled out a small bag from his pocket and opened it, revealing pure sugar inside. Noire held the bag over Ruby and Garnet's heads; the two sniffed it twice and quickly jumped up. Noire closed the bag and put it back in his pocket.

"Hey you two, have a good nap?" Yang asked

"Yeah, hey, what happened?" Ruby looked around in confusion. "The judges called it a tie." Blake answered. Ruby and Garnet cheered for a second then calmed themselves down.

After a minute, the judges brought the trophy to the winning (or losing depending on who you ask) teams and split the prize money between the teams, and Ruby and Garnet, being the team leaders, held it up proudly as the journalist took a picture. Afterwards the two teams headed into the waiting room to gathers some things.


"So…who gets the trophy?" yang asked. Garnet just smiled and replied, "You guys can have it." Ruby looked at him as if he spoke in an alien language. "Are you sure?" "Yeah," Garnet answered. "We don't really have anywhere to put it, so you guys can have it."

Blake looked at them with an eyebrow raised. "What do you mean you have nowhere to put it?'

"We're drifters," Yin said pointing at the guys' traveling bags, "We don't really have a home."

"Oh…" Blake felt kind of bad for them.

When the two teams walked outside, the other academies' headmasters noticed Team GENY's traveling bags and started hounding them, but Noire was expecting this.

"Hey, Team GENY! How would you like to-"

"No." Noire said coldly.

"Hello there Team GENY, I'm-

"No."

"How would you guys like to-"

"No. No. No. No. No. No. . All of you, no, we will not join any of your academies, considering how we were able to beat all of your pathetic-excuses for fighters, we'll only be considering joining Beacon. Now leave us alone." Noire's words were cold and harsh, which shooed off all the headmasters.

Ozpin came up to Team GENY, "So, you'll only be considering us you say?"

"Yes, out of all of the academies, yours held the students which were able to match us." Noire replied.

Ozpin gave him a smile, "Well then, would you like to join?" Noire shook his head, confusing Ozpin, "That's not my call, that's our leader, Garnet's." The young boy walked up to Ozpin shyly and Ozpin spoke, "Oh? Then why didn't you reject those other academies?" Garnet was fiddling around. "Well, I just didn't have the heart to do it, b-but what Noire said is right, there's no point in going to a school which won't teach you anything."

Ozpin gave a warm smile which seemed to calm the boy down, "Well then, how about it, would you like to join Beacon?" Garnet thought about it, he looked at team RWBY where Yang and Ruby were nodding, then he looked at his team which just gave him a gesture that meant 'It's your choice' he thought about it for another minute and reached an answer.

"Alright then, we'll take you up on your offer, we'll join Beacon!" Garnet said confidently.

"Alright then, allow me to lead you to Beacon, girls, come along." Ozpin started to lead the way.

The two teams followed Ozpin and decided to start a conversation. "I guess we haven't properly been introduced," Yin said, "I'm Yin Xiao Long," Yin looked over at Yang, "It's nice to see you again sis." Yang just looked at him in like he was insane, "You uh… might want to explain yourself before she thinks you're insane." Noire cut in. "What do you mean? We're brother and sister." Yin said.

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember having a brother." Yang was completely confused.

"Ah come on sis, you don't remember? You lost me when we were little kids!" Yin exclaimed. Yang immediately knew why she couldn't remember him, "Sorry but I got hit in the head really hard and had amnesia when I was 8, and Dad never mentioned a brother."

"Dad must've not wanted you to blame yourself, I was your responsibility to watch, and then I chased after a butterfly." Yin started scratching the back of his head and laughed nervously, "But I understand if you don't believe me, with the whole amnesia thing, it's kinda hard to know who to trust." "N-no, you don't seem like the kind of guy who would lie about that, it's just, kinda hard to believe."

"Well he does look a lot like you." Ruby said

Ozpin decided to join in on the conversation, "Well, when we get back, why don't you call your father and ask him yourself? I'll allow you to use my phone." Yin and Yang almost forgot that he was with them, "Oh, uh, thanks Professor Ozpin, that would be nice." The two of them smiled sheepishly.

"Tell me Yin," Noire inquired, "How could you tell that she was your sister after all these years? The old man only called us by our first names."

"Golden hair, Lilac eyes, the orange scarf which our dad gave us for our birthday, and the name Yang." Yin replied. As he said that, the group reached the airship headed towards Beacon. They boarded it, and Noire and Blake decided to sit down and read a book, so that they didn't have to be a part of the conversation.

"Welp, we'll find out when we get back." Yang said trying to change the subject, "What about the rest of you guys, what're your full names?"

"Well, I'm Garnet Rose." Garnet said with a little pride. Ruby looked at him with twinkling eyes, "No way! I'm Ruby ROSE! Do you think we're related?!"

"Well, silver eyes, somehow natural red streaks in your hair, the same cloak, and the names of red gems, yeah, you might be related." Yin said. Yang chuckled, "Related? They might as well be looking in mirrors!"

Ruby was filled with joy, "WOOHOO! Wait, how old are you?" Garnet counted in his head for a second, "14." Ruby was even happier, "WOOHOO! I'M THE BIG SIS FOR ONCE!" Garnet was happy either way, "YAHOO! I HAVE A BIG SIS!" and then they crushed each other with somewhat of a bear hug.

Weiss rolled her eyes at the two families, "Eis, please don't tell me your last name is Schnee." Eis just quietly stood still. "Eis?" Weiss looked at his jacket and noticed the Schnee family crest. "You're not some sort of long lost Schnee family member, are you?" Eis stayed still and replied, "Not exactly long lost, it's more rejected."

"What do you mean 'rejected'?" Weiss asked raising an eyebrow.

"Father didn't tell you?" Weiss shook her head at Eis, "Well then, I believe you deserve to know. When I was born, Father wasn't sure who to put in his will, you or me, so he made a test. He did everything in his power to make sure we never knew of each other's existence. We practically lived the same life, except you apparently did better." Eis sighed before continuing, "When I turned nine, Father told me all about this test and said I was unfit to run the company and that you would be a better successor, so he kicked me out of the family, only giving me pairs of clothes in different sizes, and Myrtenaster."

Weiss was shocked. It was hard to believe, but the jacket Eis wore was genuine, and they did share some key features, Blue eyes, white hair, and perfect posture. Eis spoke the truth. Weiss snapped herself out of the shocked state and asked, "Did you know I was your sister?" Eis looked at her and replied, "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me this before?" Eis looked over at the Xiao Longs, "Because I'm not Yin. I wasn't just going to walk up to you and say 'Hi I'm your brother!'." Weiss nodded, knowing it was a good point, and said, "Well, you do seem like a sibling of mine, so I'll believe you, but next time I visit Father, you will come with me to prove who you are." Eis nodded, "I would not have it any other way."

Garnet looked over at Blake and Noire and spoke, "Well that's 3 out of 4 siblings in our team, what about them?"

"Couldn't be, Blake's a Faunus, and Noire looks human." Yang answered. Yin chuckled, "Nonsense, Noire's a Faunus too." Ruby looked at him in confusion, "How does he hide it?" Yin whispered to them, "He pins them down to his head." Ruby and Yang shivered at the thought of how painful that must've been.

"You know we can hear you, right?" Noire said looking up at them.

"W-what?! How?" Yin asked nervously. Blake rolled her eyes and answered, "We have heightened senses, and you're only five feet away from us." Yang noticed the short distance and smiled nervously, "Hehe whoops." Garnet tried to change the subject, "So, are you guys related?" Blake and Noire looked at each other and said, "Probably."

"What do you mean 'probably?" Ruby asked.

"Well, I never knew Noire existed, but I always felt like there was some sort of family member of mine that was alive." Blake answered. Noire thought about it for a second, "I've felt the same feeling, our parents must've separated us when we were young to make sure at least one of us lived." Noire sighed, "This sounds like a poorly written fairytale." (I know, I know)

The Roses and Xiao Longs smiled. Yang was the first to speak, "Well, that makes all of us, we're all family!" Yin tried his hardest to pull everyone together into a group hug as she said that. Ozpin was full of mirth when he saw the family reunions, "Well then, I believe we are at our destination." The guys looked out the windows to see. What they saw amazed them. "That is where you boys will spend the next four years, training to become hunters. When we land I will show you to my office so that we can enroll you, then I'll show you to your dorm room."


The aircraft landed and Ozpin lead Team GENY to his office while Team RWBY went back to their dorm to tell Team JNPR about their 'new' brothers. Ozpin and the boys walked in, and they were met with Glynda Goodwitch who was watching over Beacon while Ozpin was gone, "Welcome back Professor Ozpin." She looked over at the boys, "Who are these boys?"

"They are Team GENY; they tied with Team RWBY in the Finals and have decided to enroll as first years." Ozpin answered.

"I see, I'll fill out the paperwork immediately, their scrolls will be sent to their dorm shortly. Tell me, what are your names?" Glynda asked. The boys introduced themselves and Glynda turned back to Ozpin, "Are they siblings of the members of Team RWBY?" Ozpin answered, "That's what they discovered on the ride over here." Ozpin then started giving orders, "Be sure to send the scrolls to the dorm closest to the academy. That is where I'll be putting them. Also please call Miss Yang Xiao Long to my office and tell her to wait for me to come back, I'll be out showing the boys where their dorm is."

"Yes sir." Glynda replied. Ozpin and the boys left and headed towards their dorm.


A/N: Well this was a lot longer than last time; yeah I had to think up some BS, kind of believable stories that explained why Team RWBY didn't know about their brothers. Hopefully you still enjoyed anyways, and once again, Reviews and Criticism are always appreciated. Summoner OUT.
