Hey everyone in the fanfiction world! StarWars here again with another BGND chapter. In this chapter, BGND's views on Faunus' and bullying are the focal point, so without adieu, here we go!

BGND: Vigilante vs. Bully Throwdown

(BGND Dorm room, 6:00 AM)

Everyone of team BGND were sleeping soundly in their beds while HK was compacted and shut down. Then, when it was 6 AM, Patrick's Scroll started playing This Will be The Day loud enough for Patrick to hear it but not too loud to make sure that the others weren't woken up by it. Patrick then turned off the alarm, got out of bed then stretched a bit.

"Alright." Patrick said when he finished stretching, "Time to get ready for the day." Then Patrick noticed a box just to the side of the door. "What do we have here?" Patrick walked over to the box and opened it. What he found was 4 male Beacon Academy uniforms, along with a black fedora, flat cap and baseball cap, the baseball cap displaying the Beacon insignia. "Oh! Our uniforms!" Patrick then grabbed one of the uniforms, got rid of the tie, due to the fact that he thinks they 'are a Fancy man's choking hazard' and grabbed the fedora and then got changed. Afterwards, Patrick then walked over to the dorm's door, looked over at the rest of his team, and thought, 'I'm sure they can get themselves outta bed. And if not, then they will get a rude awakening in an hour.' and left the room.

(Beacon Dining Hall, an hour and a half later)

Patrick was sitting at one the tables at the dining hall eating chocolate chip waffles with a layer of peanut butter half the size of the waffles, which every time he took a bite, his cheeks would get some peanut butter on them. Then, the rest of BGND walked into the Dining Hall, in their uniforms, Dylan donning the flat cap and Ethan the baseball cap, and irritation clearly displayed on their faces. When they got their breakfasts, they walked over to where their leader was sitting.

"Morning fellas!" Patrick said as they sat down, which was answered with the stink from each of them, "What's wrong? Woke up on the wrong side of the bed?"

"No, but was a cruel prank you pulled, bro!" Dylan pointed accusingly at his brother, "Why did you set an alarm on my Scroll at 7 to play All The Way at ear rape level?!"

"To get you guys outta bed." Patrick said as he took a bite of his breakfast, "But it's only for today, before you say anything."

"You better not be lying, Patrick, or you'll be getting the business ends of Boom Stick, Spear Shot and Lucille next time." Tyler threatened.

"I promise. In fact, gimme your Scroll, Dylan." Dylan did as he was asked and Patrick went through his brother's Scroll and got rid of the alarm in question, "And there! No more alarm!"

"Good," Dylan said, relieved, "Now to change the subject; you want some waffle to go with your peanut butter, bro?"

"What?" Patrick retorted, "You know I like peanut butter on waffles."

"Almost as much as you like poutine," Ethan added.

"So... we've got an hour and a half until we gotta get to class." Patrick said as he looked at his Scroll.

"Who do we have first?" Dylan asked.

"Uh... one moment." Patrick checked BGND's schedule on his Scroll, "We have... Professor Port for Grimm Studies."

"Isn't he the one that likes to go on and on about his days as a Huntsman?" Tyler asked.

"Unfortunately." Patrick deadpanned.

"Great, not only do we have to deal with boring lessons, but we also have to deal with his boring lessons as well." Ethan complained.

"Hey, on the bright, we'll be able to jot down our notes before he moves on to next subject."

"Good point."

After they finished their breakfasts, Team BGND started wandering the school to find Port's classroom.

(Beacon Dining Hall, a few weeks later)

The first few weeks at Beacon were... interesting for Patrick and the rest of BGND. Just on the first day in Port's class, Weiss got agitated at whatever her partner was doing, which led to her volunteering to take down a Grimm that Port had locked in a cage, which she got even more agitated when Ruby tried to help her take it down. However, the following morning, when team RWBY got breakfast, Patrick noticed that Weiss and Ruby were having a good conversation that morning, which led him to believe that the two of them made up.

During lunch, BGND was sitting with RWBY and JNPR in the Dining Hall. Dylan Tyler and Ethan were listening to Nora's unbelieveable story, along with Pyrrha, Yang and Ruby with Ren making some corrections to the story, Blake reading her book, Weiss filing her nails, Jaune messing with his food in a disappointed mood and Patrick was eating his lunch, which was a bowl of Poutine, looking at one of the tables in disgust.

"So! There we were, in the middle of the night..." Nora said to those listening.

"It was day." Ren corrected.

"We were surrounded by Ursai..."

They were Beowolves."

"Dozens of them!" Nora stood up as she said that

"Two of 'em."

"But they were no match... And in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs!"

"She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now." Ren sighed.

"OK, kinda figured that," Tyler stated, "Considering it would be impossible to make natural Grimm skin rugs, but how do you know every detail, Ren?"

"Nora talks in her sleep."

"Jaune? Are you okay?" Pyrrha asked Jaune, who was still in a bad mood.

As soon as he heard that, he snapped out of it and turned back toward the rest of his friends, "Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?"

"It's just that you seem a little... not okay..." Ruby said, sounding a little concerned, causing the rest, except for Patrick, who was completely oblivious of what was happening at his table.

"Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Look!" Jaune held up a thumb while laughed nervously until everyone's attention was focused on the members of Team CRDL, standing around a girl with brown rabbit ears jutting from her hair as Cardin laughs at her and Sky Lark, another member of CRDL holds up his hands to his head in a mock interpretation of her unusual features.

"Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school!" Pyrrha mentioned with concern in her voice.

"Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around! You know, practical jokes!"

"He's a bully." Ruby voiced her concern.

Jaune scoffed, "Oh, please! Name one time he's 'bullied' me."

"He keeps knocking your books out of your hands." Tyler named one time.

"Yeah, but-" Jaune started before getting cut off.

"You were stuck in the doorway for two hours due to Cardin activating our shield when you walked past him." Ethan pointed out.

"OK, I said-"

"And there was also the time when he did a classic bully move and stuffed you into one of the rocket lockers and launching you into the air in it!" Dylan added his input.

"I didn't land far from the school!" Jaune attempted to laugh it off.

"Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask." Pyrrha tried to comfort her team's leader.

"Ooooh!" Nora says as she got up from the table and presented her diabolical plan with a not-entirely-sane grin. "We'll break his legs!"

"I'm down for that." Dylan said as he gave her Nora a high-five.

"How about that as a last resort?" Tyler snuffed out the two lunatics before they could go through with their plan.

"Guys, really, it's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone." Jaune said, trying to drop the subject, but their attention was drawn back to CRDL's antics as the laughing grows louder, mixed in with cries of pain from the rabbit Faunus when one of her ears are tugged on by Cardin.

"Ow! That hurts!" Said the Rabbit Faunas as she stopped struggling and grimaced, "Please, stop..."

Cardin continued laughing as he turned to his cronies, "I told you it was real!"

Russel Thrush, another member of CRDL, was still guffawing with his teammates as he said, "What a freak!"

While this was happening, Patrick was gradually seeing red, but it went unnoticed by the rest of his friends. Cardin finally relented, and the girl stands up and hurries off, her head bowed and hiding her face from the watching table of heroes.

"Atrocious. I can't stand people like him." Pyrrha said in disgust.

"He's not the only one..." Blake agreed as she stared daggers at the racist Huntsman.

"It must be hard to be a Faunus." Yang said sadly as was leaning her head on her hand.

As Jaune got up from the table, Dylan looked over at his brother and finally noticed his anger, which by now wasn't hard to notice as Patrick looked like he was gonna explode. "Patrick? Are you alright?"

Patrick suddenly slammed his fists onto the table, startling everyone at the table, "That's it!" Patrick yelled as he got up and stomped over to Cardin.

"Oh, no..." Dylan said as he covered his face with his hands.

"Is Patrick always like this?" Ruby asked Dylan with worry in her voice.

"Rarely. It takes a lot for Patrick to blow up like that, but when he when does, it's not pretty."

"Winchester!" Patrick yelled, getting CRDL's leader's attention.

"Whaddya want, Brownie?" Cardin said with a smug look on his face.

"I'm only gonna to tell you once before I really lose it; leave. the Faunus. ALONE! Or else you're gonna get a warhammer-sized bruise on your face." Patrick threatened as he got up in Cardin's face.

"What are ya, a Faunus lover? They're animals and-" Cardin said before getting punched in the face by the fuming Vigilante.

"They are NOT animals!" Patrick shouted as Cardin was reeling from the punch, "They are living beings that have unique properties. So what if Velvet has a pair of bunny ears? That just means that she has better hearing than you and me. And to add to my point, Velvet is in her second-year, while you're still a first-year. So, in that sense, she's your senior. All the more reason to treat her with respect."

"She's still a freak." Russel interjected.

"Zip it, Thrush!" Patrick told him.

"Oh, you are so gonna get it Browne." Cardin scowled as he got a punch ready to punch the redhead, but he was stopped as Glynda walked into the Dining Hall.

"Mr. Winchester!" Goodwitch said in a voice of authority, getting the attention of everyone in the Dining Hall, "If you have a quarrel with Mr. Browne, save it for the sparring matches."

"Professor Goodwitch," Patrick asked, "Is it possible for me to have one with Cardin after lunch? I really need to kick his butt."

"I can arrange one," Goodwitch reluctantly agreed, "But it'll have to be after all your classes."

"That's fine." Patrick accepted, and with that, Goodwitch left the Mess Hall.

"Oh ho ho," Cardin laughed, "You just made the biggest mistake of your life."

"Laugh it up fuzzball." Patrick countered, which the rest of BGND laughed form the comment, "You may have been able to take Jaune down before lunch, but I am on pushover."

Cardin just scoffed, "We'll see, Brownie Boy. We'll see." And with that, Cardin and the rest of CRDL left.

after a few seconds of awkward silence, Dylan was the one that decided to break it, "That... went better than I thought it would."

Ruby walked up to Patrick and asked as she tapped his shoulder, "Patrick? Are you OK?"

After taking a deep breath, Patrick looked at the Red Reaper, and said, "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just Faunus discrimination is one of the few things that I can't stand for."

"We noticed." Pyrrha piped up, "But I highly doubt he'll stop discriminating Faunus - even if you beat him."

"True, but someone's gotta stand up to him and it might as well be me."

"Do you have a plan to battle him?" Weiss asked.

"Just by the way he battled Jaune earlier, I can tell he uses his strength as his only tool to win. So I'll fight strength with wits and strategy to take him down." Patrick then went back to his Poutine and everyone looked at him with confused looks on their faces but decided to get back to what they were doing before the incident.

(Beacon Amphitheater, later that evening)

News about Patrick challenging Cardin to a battle spread like wildfire. There were even murmurs of bets being placed on who would win. By the time classes were over, Patrick was at his lockers, getting his stuff from his locker when Ruby walked up to him with an concerned looked on her face.

"Hey Ruby." Patrick greeted the Scythe-wielder as he put his chestpiece on, "What's up?"

"I'm just wanting to know why you're really doing this?" Ruby asked, "I mean, you looked really scary when you yelling at Cardin."

"Oh! Sorry if I scared you you!" Patrick apologized as he looked at Ruby, "It just... hate people discriminating Faunas. I was one of the few humans who openly supported the White Fang and their ideals. Of course, I stopped supporting them when got violent but I still think Faunas aren't just animals and that they deserve a chance to treated with the same amount of respect as humans do. So that's why I'm doing this; to get point across to that arrogant excuse of a huntsman." And with that, he headed for the arena, but not before looking over his shoulder and saying to Ruby, "Wish me luck."

"Good luck." Ruby said before going over to the stands with the rest of team RWBY, and BGND.

When Patrick got to entrance, he could see Cardin in his armour, waiting impatiently for him and Goodwitch just looking at her Scroll also waiting for him, but patiently. As Patrick walked into the arena, he activated his armour and when he got to the arena, his armour completely encased him.

"Oh, good." Goodwitch said as she noticed the Vigilante, "Now that Mr. Browne is here, we can get started. You two will fight under standard tournament style rules, match will end when one of your auras drop into the red. You will start when the buzzer goes."

As soon as she said that, Patrick got Chain-Breaker ready while Cardin was in a combat stance with his weapon, which was a large, black mace, with ten flat flanges being extended farther outward than a regular mace would and a red Dust crystal placed at the center, kept in place by four claws. As soon as the buzzer sounded, Patrick started firing Chain-Breaker at Cardin, who was charging at him while trying to dodge the blaster bolts flying at him. As Cardin was closing in, time seemed to have slowed as Patrick changed Chain-Breaker to Warhammer mode and in a blink of eye, Cardin was on the other side of the arena and RWBY and the rest of BGND started cheering Patrick on. Then, in a fit of rage, Cardin charged at Patrick and started swinging his mace at the Armoured huntsman. Patrick responded with a few blocks with his warhammer, which he was able to block a few of the blows but one blow was able to get through, which created an explosion that sent Patrick back a few feet.

'OK, so Cardin's mace is like Boom Stick. Alright then, let's try and avoid getting hit by that thing.' Patrick analyzed in his head as he got back up onto his feet.

"Ha!" Cardin gloated, "Not so tough now, are ya?"

"Oh trust me, you ain't seen nuttin' yet." Patrick retorted as he did a few swings of his own. while most were blocked, one swing left CRDL's leader exposed. Patrick took the opportunity and swung Chain-Breaker so that Cardin was pushed a few feet away from him, slammed the head of his hammer into the ground, which lifted Cardin off his feet and allowed Patrick to do an upward swing and sent Cardin up into the air.

"Fore!" Patrick as Cardin was sent flying. Then we pulled out one of his LaserMores and said, "Pull!" as he started putting a few Lightning Dust rounds at the racist huntsman, and finally used his jet boots to get to Cardin and said, "And slam... dunk!" as he used Chain-Breaker to send Cardin to the ground faster than gravity would.

Before the Vigilante could do any more damage to his opponent, a buzzer sounded, resulting in the end of the match. When Patrick looked at his Wrist-Scroll, and saw that while his Aura level was at 75% and in the yellow-green, Cardin's on the other hand, was at 20%, and was in the red, declaring him the victor.

"And that's the end of a impressive display of Mr. Browne's skills." Goodwitch announced as she walked into the arena, "Patrick, your transcripts were not exaggerated when they said your Semblance was the ability to slow down time."

"Yeah, I call it Bullet Time." Patrick confirmed.

"Well, none the less, I trust you will not start anymore confrontations that have to be resolved in this manner again?" Goodwitch asked with a annoyed tone in her voice.

"I can't guarantee for other people who try and bully Faunas, but I can at least say that Winchester has learned his lesson."

"I guess that's the best I'm going to get." And with that the Combat Instructor of Beacon left the arena.

Patrick walked over to where Cardin was, which was a Cardin-shaped hole in the arena floor, and as Cardin was trying to get up, Patrick offered a hand up, which was received begrudgingly. "Good fight, Winchester." Patrick said as he pulled his opponent up, and when Cardin was on his feet, Patrick got in his face, "Next time you think about messing with any more Faunus, just own that what you just experienced will occur again. Are we clear?" Cardin nodded reluctantly, "Good." and with that, Patrick left the arena.

(Beacon Courtyard, after the sparring match)

Patrick was heading back to BGND's dorm, back in his uniform when he heard someone coming his name. He looked behind him and saw the rest of his team as well as RWBY running up to him.

"Hey guys." Patrick said to his friends, "What's up?"

"We were just wondering if you wanted to go into town with us." Ruby told him.

"OK, who's buyin'? Weiss?" Patrick with a smirk, which was with a "Hey!" form the Heiress.

"Me and Yang." Dylan answered, which his brother looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"And how paying for it, your looks? Please don't take offense to this, Yang, but looks can only get you so far."

"No. With this." Yang said as she created a fan with various Lien bills.

"How on Remnant did you two get tha-" Patrick started to say, but then thought of what just transpired, and realized, "You two were responsible for the betting, were you?"

"Yep." Yang said, popping the 'P' as she said it, "And the school was almost 50/50 on who would win, but there was one person who shouldn't have doubted you." Everyone's gazes were pulled towards a certain heiress, who was looking at her Scroll, until she started feeling everyone staring at her.

"What?" Weiss asked, "I was just being logical."

"Anyways," Dylan said, "Yang and I also agreed to let you have a cut of the profits since you were one of the things being betted on." And Dylan gave his brother a few Lien bills, "Here you go. Now, are we going out or what?" And with that, Teams RWBY and BGND went into town to celebrate Patrick's little victory.

So that's Vigilante vs. Bully Throwdown! as always, I have a few things to say:

1: I decided to change Patrick's semblance to something that he would use more often, so here it is;

Semblance: Bullet Time

*Effects: Allows Patrick to slow down time for a few seconds so he can make a guaranteed hit on his enemy

*Activation Requirements: Patrick can activate the semblance whenever he needs to, but he will only do so when things are taking a turn for the worst.

*Side Effects: Once Patrick uses the semblance, it goes into a "cooldown" for a few minutes.

2: The song that Patrick used to wake up the rest of BGND was ALL THE WAY - Jacksepticeye Songify Remix by Schmoyoho, just to clarify in case you were thinking of another song with the same name.

3: I saying this well in advance because I need time to get the chapters ready, but I'm gonna need to borrow at least 3 teams for the Vytal festival tournament because I want to add BGND's matches in the Vytal festival. So here's what I require:

Team name:
