"Welcome back to Beacon students," Professor Port said happily, "I'm sure some you all missed me,"
Cough, cough.
"That's too bad, all well, I trust you all had a wonderful break. Hmm, this reminds me of the time that I slew a mighty death stalker! I was walking along a forest trail…."
Professor Port's story took up almost the whole class, Yang and Ruby were shooting a paper triangle back and forth, Blake was reading a book under the table, Weiss got so board that she started doodling on a sheet of paper, and Michael sitting behind Yang, had fallen asleep.
"Sam, get to the Impala!""Cross, carry Michael to the car."
"Cross, carry Michael to the car."
"What about Ashley?"
"I'll get her, she deserves a proper burial."
"Cross…..what's go…going on?"
"We're getting out of here."
"Wha-what about, Ash?"
"Shh, don't talk, your too weak."
"Drive, Drive!"
KABOOM!
Michael awoke to a boy speaking about light and darkness.
"The light is killing both the darkness and itself. I don't mean to sound depressing or anything, but both humans and Faunus have slain one another when the true enemy has been here the entire time. All because one race couldn't accept the other and that sparked a war, which then brought peace temporarily but didn't stop the discrimination against Faunus. A government had enough and thought of other methods to find respect through means of violence and now, the light is ready to kill itself before a rising darkness returns. And unless the light realizes that sooner, then I fail to see the triumph from them." The class looked stunned at the Boy's words, Michael leaned forward and asked Yang, "What the hell did I miss?" Yang did not answer and continued to stare at the boy.
"I understand what you mean, Faunus do find it hard to live here from recent events." Professor Port said to the boy.
"I'm not a Faunus if that is what you are implying."
"Really?" said Cardin, "Because you sure talk like an animal."
"At least I don't behave like a caveman." Cardin clenched his fist and stood up.
"Sit down Mr. Winchester. Class is not over yet." Cardin reluctantly sat down and grumbled. "Mr. Huynh, while there is conflict between the two races, both have worked together before. They play a game of chess and the better man gets bragging writes but when the darkness does return, I'm sure that we will rise together and overcome the new threat." The bell rang and people began to get out of their seats. "Class dismissed!"
"What was that about?" asked Weiss.
"Who is he anyway?" Yang asked
"I don't know but he seems decent." answered Blake.
"And kinda hot."
"Yang, ew." Ruby said flailing her hands.
"You'll understand one day, little sis."
"Guys, I was asleep. What the hell did I miss?" Michael said as he got up.
"That kid was being dark," Yang answered. "What's your name?"
"Michael. Michael Azurite."
Later that day…
"Well, today has been fun," said a slightly exhausted Ruby. "Now for a fun class."
"What would that be?" Michael asked when he caught up with team RWBY.
"Professor Goodwitch's fighting class." answered Ruby.
"Sounds fun."
"Yeah, we're goanna kick some butt!" Yang said enthusiastically.
"Yes, and at the new simulation arena too," Blake said calmly, "It is supposed to be able to simulate any situation and any Grimm."
"Oh, that's so cool!" Ruby exclaimed, "And it's so big!"
"God damn!" Michael said looking impressed.
"My father's money well spent," Weiss said proudly, "Now you can see just how good of a combatant I am."
"Ohh, look at me, I'm Weiss, my daddy is rich and powerful, I'm so perfect, blagh." Ruby said mockingly, Weiss huffed and walked towards the stadium.
"Nice burn Ruby.' Michael said giving ruby a thumbs up.
"Children!" called Professor Goodwitch, "I'm sure you've all had your good welcomes today, but now it's time to get serious. Today you will be the first to try out our new arena simulator." The students talked amongst themselves as they walked forward. "Everyone inside! Quickly now!" The students followed the teacher as they entered the stadium. Several ahs came from the group, the stadium was the size of a football stadium. "You will have 60 seconds to kill as many Boarbatusks and or Beowolves as you can. Any questions?"
"Yeah," Jaune said raising his hand, "how real will this be?"
"You will feel pain if that is what you're asking Mr., Arc. Any other questions? Good, who wants to go first? Everyone but Cameron raised their hand.
'You'll be first Mr. Winchester."
"Alright, now to show you losers how it's done." said a cocky Cardin.
"Piss off!" Michael said as he and the other students sat down in the bleachers. As time passed almost everyone had gone.
Cut to the middle of Ruby's turn.
"HA!" said Ruby as she leaped through the air, dodging and countering the attacks of the Boarbatusks. She elegantly swung Crescent Rose around her, dispatching the remaining Grimm.
BUZZZZZ!
"Times up, Miss Rose," Professor Goodwitch said over the loud speaker. Ruby appeared at the gate leading up to the bleachers.
"Good job, little sis!" Yang said, proud of her little sister, "You owned that."
"Well done, Ruby," Blake said joining them.
"Not bad, but I still did better," Weiss said from behind Blake.
"Ok, next student, Michael Azurite." Goodwitch said over the loud speaker.
"This will be good." Michael picked up his blade Justicar and walked down to the center of the arena.
"Wooo! Go Michael!" screamed Yang.
"He is not wearing appropriate combat attire," Weiss said.
"Says the girl in a dress," Blake said mockingly.
"It's a combat skirt!"
3…
Michael unsheathed his sword.
2…
He took out a pair of aviator sunglasses and put them on.
1…
"Time to have some fun."
Begin!
Michael pointed his blade behind him and shot it, thrusting him forward into the crowd of Beowolves. He instantly killed five, then he turned around and sliced six Boarbatusks in half. He turned right and decapitated a Beowolf, and turned his sword into a 50. Cal M16 and opened fire into the crowd of newly spawned Grimm, all of them died. A few more Boarbatusks spawned and struck at Michael. He dodged and looked up at the creature and images began to flood his mind.
"I'm okay, big brother."
"I...I can't believe it. Our home's...gone."
"You're my new test subjects."
"Why are you doing this?"
"For science, of course."
"Please, stop! AHH!"
"Ashley!"
"We're all family."
KABOOM!
The images ceased, just in time for him to be clawed across the face by the Beowolf. The crowd gasped. Michael stood back up, unfazed by the strike. The red in his hair burst into red flames and his eyes burned blue flames. He turned his hand grew claws and went pitch black. The fire from his eyes and hair still burned on the outside of the armor.
"Now to show you how it's done."
The Beowolf swung at Michael, but he caught the beast's claw and cut it off with his other hand. The beast swung with its remaining arm and Michael dodged and slashed the Beowolf's stomach open. The beast fell over and Michael planted his claws into its head.
BUZZZZZ!
"Well done Mr. Azurite," Professor Goodwitch looked at her scroll and saw the last student. "Next is Cameron Huynh." Cameron stood and walked down to the center of the arena.
"Isn't that the kid from Port's class?" Yang asked.
"I think so," said Ruby. "He looks like he can fight."
"He is also wearing poor combat attire," Weiss said.
"You're still wearing a dress," Blake said mockingly.
"It's a combat skirt, Blake. A COMBAT SKIRT!" Weiss said angrily looking at Blake.
"Looks like a dress to me," Michael said as he sat down behind team RWBY.
"Oh, what do you know?" Michael's face went blank.
"You have no idea."
Cameron stood in the middle of the arena, his hood on.
"Alright Mr. Huynh, let me know when you're ready," Goodwitch said over the loudspeaker. Cameron closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He raised his hand to signal that he was ready.
3…2…1…BEGIN!
Four Boarbatusks appeared before him, each charging at him. Cameron quickly whipped out his sword and struck the four beasts killing them. Six more appeared and charged. He switched his sword to a rifle and shot the stomachs of warthogs before more appeared. He shot half then switched to dual sword and struck the other beasts.
45 seconds remaining...
More appeared and transformed into speedy, spinning balls before rushing at Cameron. He leaped through the air, detached his twin sword and transformed the swords into SMGs then shot at the beasts below. He landed on the pile of dead Grimm creatures before more appeared. He fired more shots at the animals killing half again before he switched to dual short swords to slay the rest.
30 seconds remaining...
He returned his blades back to his original sword as more appeared and circled the boy. Soon, they all charged at Cameron, though he just stood still.
"Come on!" said Ruby. "MOVE!" Then he vanished. "What the-" Dead Boarbatusks soon filled the room. "He's got speed too!" The virtually invisible Cameron circled the massive arena slaying the spawning creatures. "What the hell?" Michael said confused.
10 seconds remaining...
Soon, the other students could see a blue and gold ring with Boarbatusks being thrown out to the center. He did not stop. Not even Ruby could keep up with his movements.
BUZZZZZZZ!
The timer went and Cameron appeared in the center of the arena, looking as if he hadn't moved from starting.
"Well done, Mr Huynh," said Goodwitch. "Very well done." Cameron bowed and moved to the gate. "Okay class, time to reveal the scores. You may view these on your scroll shortly. The top 6 scores were…" she pulled out her scroll and read aloud, "Yang Xiao Long in 5th place."
"Alright!" said Yang.
"Blake Belladona in 4rd place."
"Not bad Blake," said Ruby. Blake smiled faintly.
"Tying for third place…Ruby Rose."
"Ohh…" Ruby pouted. She really wanted number one.
"Better luck next time," said Weiss with a ditsy expression on her face.
"…and Weiss Schnee."
"WHAT!"
"Second place…Michael Azurite."
"How did he do better than me?" Weiss exclaimed furiously.
"Our winner for today, Cameron Huynh." The class looked at the hooded boy stunned. "Congratulations, Mr Huynh. Now I'm aware of your…preferences, so you may choose a partner to work with." Cameron looked to the class, turning from left to right. He looked at Team RWBY and pointed at them.
"Her," he said. Weiss stepped forward smiling.
"Well, I'm sure we can find a way to-"
"Not you. The one in the red hood." Weiss' face dropped as Ruby's smiled.
"Miss Rose, step forth." Ruby joined Cameron. "Now, the both of you will be facing a rather large opponent. The simulator will choose what you will face at random so be ready for anything. Once the machine has picked an enemy, you will have 30 seconds to work a plan for what you battle. Is that clear?" The students nodded and made their way to the center again. A list of Grimm creatures appeared on a holographic screen before randomizing and selecting one; a Darachnid. A spider with Grimm markings and heavy armor then appeared before the duo. "Your thinking time starts now." A countdown clock appeared above the spider.
"Uhh…hi!" said Ruby trying to introduce herself. "I'm Ruby and-"
"Yeah, look, I don't mean to be rude or anything Ruby," replied Cameron who was observing their enemy. "But I need to get serious and think a bit. I suggest you do the same. We can talk after the fight."
"Oh…Okay" She whipped out Crescent Rose ready for battle. "Let's do this!" Cameron took out his sword as well and readied his blade.

"3…2…1…BEGIN!"
"HA!" said a charging Ruby.
"NO!" screamed Cameron, but it was too late. She leaped and struck the spider right in the head.
"Yes." But the spider wasn't scratched. It shook off the attack and sent Ruby flying. Ruby somersaulted and landed on her feet.
"Brute force isn't gonna cut it. We have to think."
"Sorry…"
"Circle right and shoot its ass. I'll distract it." Cameron switched to rifle and shot Darachnid's face." The shots bounced right off. Ruby ran around to the behind of the spider, switched Crescent Rose to sniper form and fired at the back. Still, the spider felt nothing and turned to face Ruby
"Uh oh…" The spider charged at her. She switched back to scythe form and blocked the coming attack. She struggled to fend off the attack. The spider's teeth were reaching to get her. Cameron jumped onto the beast and stabbed its eye. It screeched in pain and struggled back. Ruby used her semblance and escaped the Darachnid's clutches. Cameron leaped off the beast and joined her. "Thanks."
"Ok, plan B. How fast can you run with your semblance?"
"Pretty fast. Why?"
"Well make a tornado and strike the underneath. You first." Ruby ran around the spider and caused some turbulence. Cameron soon joined and the two caused the spider to hover in the eye of the storm. The two took their chance and struck the spider's unarmored stomach. The Darachnid again screeched in pain before falling onto the floor.
"Alright!" Ruby though it was over, but the Darachnid rose and faced the duo. "Oh come on. Why won't you die!" The Darachnid raised its spinnerets and shot venomous webs at the two. Using their semblances, our heroes dodged the webs and shot back at the beast but to no avail. The spider then called forth smaller Darachnids to appear and attack. "I officially HATE SPIDERS!" Ruby screamed as she slashed the oncoming waves of Grimm.
"Keep it together!" Cameron and Ruby were now back to back. The Darachnid charged at the duo after witnessing the death of its 'children.' The two leaped in the air and hit the limbs of the spider's legs. It fell and smashed into the arena wall, but still, the Darachnid lived.
"Nothings working! That armor's too thick. We can't break through it." Cameron thought for a few seconds and sighed.
"Okay," he said reluctantly. "I have a plan, but I only wanted to use it as a last resort."
"What is it?"
"Make a tornado again."
"But that didn't work!"
"I'm gonna add a twist to it. Just trust me." Ruby looked at him with a curious look then began running around again. Cameron soon followed. "When I say now, hop out and aim for the face." The two again began making a twister. The spider lifted into the air. "NOW!"Ruby leaped out of the twister and fired.
"This again?" said Weiss unimpressed. "They need a better plan. One that I could come up with."
"SSHHHH!" snapped Yang, watching intently. All of a sudden, Cameron began to catch fire and was soon completely burning.
"What the?" Yang, Weiss, Blake, and Michael said in unison.
"Is that dust?" questioned Blake
"It can't be," said Weiss "He's completely on fire!" The three looked stunned as the boy cloned himself and the twister caught fire. Ruby soon had stopped firing. She was very scared and puzzled.
"Shadow!?" Cameron leaped into the eye of the twister using a golden-
"GLYPH!" Everyone in the arena was stunned, even Professor Goodwitch. Cameron used airstep to hold himself over the Darachnid who screeched in pain. The spider's armor was melting. Cameron finally used combined all four semblances and made flaming copies of himself that charged right at the beast from above. He and the copies pierced right through the armor and killed the Darachnid.
"Impossible…" said an awestruck Ruby. Cameron leaped out of the twister and landed in the center of the arena, panting slightly.
BUZZZZZZZ!
"Holy shit!" Michael yelled.
"S-Simulation over," said Goodwitch as she duo walked to the gate, Ruby walking slower than Cameron, trying to keep some distance. Weiss, Yang and Blake slowly walked down to Ruby, still amazed at what they just witnessed. "Well done to the both of you."
"Yes, quite good," said a voice from behind.
"Professor Ozpin!" said team RWBY, Michael, and Cameron in unison.
"Now now everyone, I was just here to spectate."Goodwitch walked up to the group.
"Did It get boring up the office, Headmaster?"
"Indeed, Professor. I'm glad I got to see a spectacle as such as this. Well done to the both of you."
"Thank you, Professor," the duo said in unison again. The bell rang almost immediately after.
"CLASS DISMISSED!" called Goodwitch. Though the entire class was looking directly at Cameron in awe. Ozpin and Goodwitch left the arena.
"I swear I met someone that could do something like that." Michael thought.
"Good job," Cameron said to Ruby, putting on a faint smile. He then followed the teachers to the exit.
"What…the hell…just happened?" said Weiss, still eyes wide open.
"I don't know…" said Blake. "But it whatever it was…"
"It's impossible…" said Ruby. The team slowly made their way out of the arena.
"Wait for me guys!" shouted Michael as he ran after them.
Later that night, at the Dining Hall…
"So…." Michael said sitting down next to Yang, "Congrats on getting in the top 5 you guys."
"Humph." Weiss turned her head.
"What's up with her?"
"She doesn't like you because you're a better fighter than her." answered Yang. "How are you such a good fighter anyway?"
"I don't know. Fighting just comes as naturally to me as breathing comes to any of you."
"That's imposable." Weiss said.
"Whatever you say princess. Hey Yang, I was thinking that you could come to my dorm later, I have no one to share my bed with sooo…"
"Are you honestly asking me that?"
"Am I?" he said seductively.
"Umm….No." Yang threw a punch at him but Michael caught her hand and set it on the table. "How did you?!"
"I'm just that good."
"You weren't kidding. Oh. Here comes Ruby."
"Hey, guys," said Ruby walking up to them.
"So," said a grinning Yang. "Who's your boyfriend over there?"
"What!? Yang, I was just talking to him."
"What's his name?"
"Cameron."
"Ruby and Cameron sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-" sang both Yang and Michael.
"EW, EW, EW! No Yang! It's not like that."
"Sure it is…"
"What did you guys talk about?" asked Blake.
"Not much, just his trick back at the arena and Signal."
"He's from Signal?" questioned Yang.
"Yes. I just said it."
"So how did he pull off that ridiculous move?" interjected Weiss.
"He said he can copy other peoples' semblances. Sometimes multiple."
"Sounds cool!" said Yang.
"Sounds mysterious," said Blake.
"Sounds badass! And like something I've heard of before." said Michael.
"Sounds dangerous," said Weiss. The rest of them looked at her. "What? Aren't you guys a bit concerned about what might happen if he keeps using our powers?"
"Oh, come on guys," said Ruby. "He's not all that bad."
"Of course he's not," agreed Yang. "Because you and him are meant to be."
"SHUT UP YANG!"
Later that night, in the dorm hallways…
*Yawn*"What a busy day," said Yang.
"And it's only the start of the year," said Blake.
"Well at least we had fun today," said Ruby. "After all, we did get to try the new arena first."
"And that's where you met the love of your life," mocked Yang.
"THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN US YANG!"
"Whatever you say, sis…whatever you say." Team RWBY turned down the hall to their rooms to find Cameron entering his room.
"Hey, Cameron."
"Hey," he replied back. He turned to face RWBY.
"So…this is him, huh?" said Yang walking up to him."I'm Yang," she put her hand out to shake with his.
"Cameron, but most people call me Huynher." He shacked hands with the girl.
"I'm Blake," said Blake stepping forward. "And that's Weiss."
"I'm Michael," Michael said.
"Nice to meet you all." Huynher had a neutral expression.
"Did you know my sister has a crush on you?" said Yang with a cheeky grin on her face.
"Yang for the last time, THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN US!" screamed Ruby. Huynher raised an eyebrow at the blonde girl.
"I have to agree with Yang on this one, you too would make a great couple," Michael said.
"See, you were meant to be."
"I'm sure she's a nice girl," he responded carefully. "Excuse me but I have a bit of work to do tonight." He entered his room. "Again, pleasure to meet you all." He closed the door.
"Well," said Blake. "He seems nice."
"I'm still concerned," said Weiss. "Maybe even a bit more now that I know he's right next-door to us."
"Oh lighten up Ice Queen," said Yang. "You shouldn't disprove of Ruby's boyfriend."
"Ice Queen, that's a good one," Michael said stepping into his dorm.
"Uhh, I give up," said Ruby. The team entered their room and changed for bed. After about an hour, the team went to bed.
Cut to Michael's dorm
"Hey Blaze," Michael said as he filled up the food bowl, "Did you miss me?"
"Meow."
"That's what I thought." Michael took off his jacket and boots then sat down on his bed. He pulled out the locket, opened it up and stared at the pictures. "Who are you guys?"
Quite exciting I think. Tried to keep it as close to Huynher98's canon as possible. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Stay sexy world. PEACE! - ]
