(A/N: Surprise! Double Upload!)
Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY, just Dylan and the idea of team DARK/C. Rest of team DARK/C belongs to my friends.
Dylan groaned as his teammates shook him to get out of bed. They were all dressed in the Beacon uniform, and were waiting on him. He groaned again and gets into the dorm's bathroom's shower and cleaned himself off. He sighed in content as he feels the hot water trail down his body. Turning off the water and drying himself off, he puts on his uniform, his dragon necklace going around his neck and two metal bracelets going on his right wrist. He grabbed his bookbag and opened the door, watching as team JNPR and RWBY ran past, saying that they were going to be late. Team DARK's eyes all widened as they realized that the three teams all had the same class. It was Professor Port's class, Grimm Studies. On one of the top floors. Dylan knew that they werent going to make it if they took the regular route. "Looks like we'll have to make an entrance" Dylan said to himself as he and the rest of his team started to scale the school building. Dylan found the classroom and lifted the window up, and dropping in stealthily. The rest of team DARK came through the window, calmly walking away, except Kieran, who fell facefirst onto the floor. She yelped in pain, drawing everyone's attention to the four students by the open window. Dylan slowly raised his arm to close it. "Ah excellent, you see class, had Miss Thornsdon not made such a racket, Mr. Dragnox's team would have made it in without a sound. I applaud you for the effort." The four blushed in embarassment and took their seats.
"Alright class, who wants to volunteer?" The professor asked the class, Weiss's hand shot straight up. Dylan had zoned out the grey haired man's lecture. Weiss came back in her combat attire, Myrtenastr at her side. She made her way to the middle of the room. Peter Port used his Blunderbuss-Axe to release the Boaratusk that was in the cage. 'How did I not see the cage?' The dragon faunus thought to himself as he watched Weiss battle the boar grimm, eventually spearing it through it's unprotected belly. The class clapped at the performance. Professor Port cleared his throat and began "Excellent job Ms Schnee. We have time for one more demonstration." At this, Dylan let out an audible groan. "Mr. Dragnox, would you like to go?" Dylan looked up from playing with his butterfly knife that he found in his pocket, shrugged his shoulders and stepped down from his seat. He removed his blazer and rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt and got in the middle of the small ring in the classroom. He twirled his knife and looked at the cage in front of him. Port laughed and opened the cage, a large beowolf breaking out and roaring at Dylan, the wind of the roar blowing his side bangs out of his face, his right eye showing. Blake and the RY of RWBY noticed that he had a three clawed scar on his right eye, but didn't comment on it. The Beowolf looked at the faunus in front of him. It showed no fear or any actual interest in fighting the it. Dylan looked at the Beowolf and twirled his knife in front of it, drawing its attention. The class watched in fascination as Dylan walked towards the large wolf grimm, reaching out his arm and resting it on the grimm's head. Dylan then flicked his wrist, snapping it's neck. Dylan twirled his his butterfly knife closed and walked back to his seat as the bell rung. "Well, that seems to be all the time we have for today, remember to do the reading!" The Grimm Studies professor called out as the students filed out. As the teens were walking, they noticed Weiss had stayed and Ruby was nowhere to be found. Jaune had gone to look for Ruby and the BY of RWBY had stayed for Weiss. NPR and DARK continued to walk to their dorms, since they only had one other class, Combat Class, later in the day. "So, how did you know how to kill the Beowolf the way you did?" Pyrrha asked the faunus, who took out his knife again and started doing tricks with it out of boredom. He shrugged. The two teams went to their dorms and changed into their combat clothing.
"So now what do we do?" The Mistrali asked as the eight of them made their way out of the hall with their dorms. Everyone shrugged. They couldnt go out to Vale because they had a class at 1:00 p.m. and it wqs currently 10:30 a.m. "Library?" Dylan asked the other six, them shrugging in agreement, there was nothing else better to do at the moment.
Team RWBY and Jaune walked into the Library, having recieved a text from Ren that they had gone there to kill some time. When they arrived at the table, they found Dylan sharpening a dagger with a whetstone, the others playing a board game (NP + Kieran and Alexis) or reading (Ren and Rapha). Five chairs were moved to the table they were at. "So where were you?" Dylan asked BWY. Weiss told them that she told Port of her opinion of Ruby being selected as leader and what he said back. Weiss had let it go after talking to Ruby. Dylan nodded and pulled out a kukri. Blake frowned, "Where are you getting those blades from?" The ravenette asked the seated faunus, who looked up and pointed to his belt, that had his butterfly knife and his dagger. Weiss turned and glared at him. Dylan frowned at her and sheathed the kukri on his belt. "Is there a problem?" The reptile eyed faunus asked, his sharp canines growing a bit without his knowing. "How do you expect us to trust you when you're always carrying weapons?!" She exclaimed, causing the librarian to shush her. Dylan pinched the bridge of his nose. "My team trusts me, JNPR trusts me, even your team trusts me, so I don't really understand why you can't. I have no reason to cause harm to you." The dragon faunus had gotten up from his seat near the end, angry at the heiress for making racist assumptions. The bell rang, signifying that the last period of the day was going to begin soon. The twelve students got up and walked across campus to the class room where Combat Class was held. They were the first ones there, so they all chose to sit near the back. Dylan sat next to Blake, whose team was to her right. The rest of Dylan's team was to his left. JNPR was behind them.
As the last students came through the doors, Glynda Goodwitch walked to her podium, heels clacking against the tiled floor. Dylan yawned, he was already bored and the class hadn't even started. Dylan looked up when the blonde teacher started announcing the fights. "Yang Xiao Long and Dylan Dragnox, take ring 8" the teacher says. Yang smiled widely and grabbed Dylan's arm, dragging the poor boy to the selected ring.
Dylan and Yang took the opposite sides of the ring and adopted their fighting stances. Yang got into a boxing stance and Dylan kept all his weapons sheathed, getting into a stance that resembled taekwondo, a martial art from Vacuo. Yang charged the dragon faunus and threw a right punch at him. He leaned back and pushed the arm so that it passed harmlessly above him. His evading and her constant anger continued, drawing the attention of some other students. RWB's eyes widened as she saw Yang's semblance activate. Dylan smirked and made a motion for her to attack him. She went for the bait and reeled her right fist back. She shot forward and threw the punch at the dragon's face. The fist connected with something and everyone in the crowd gasped. Dylan had caught the punch with his right hand and was glowing with his black, red and purple aura. Dylan unsheathed Lux and held it in front of him. If Yang was going to use her semblance, so was he. His eyes glowed and he roared, knocking a few surrounding students back. Scales started appearing on his arms, sides and face, his sides hidden due to his clothing. Yang stepped back in surprise and slight fear. Dylan roared again, louder this time, and rushed at Yang with his sword, hitting her with the pommel of the sword. Yang knocked his sword away, making hin unholster Umbra and start firing. When he ceased, Yang shot out and punched him straight in the jaw, knocking him back. Dylan coughed and stood up, about to unsheathe one of his knives when he was punched away again. He spit out blood and growled at Yang, running at her and spearing her. 'Hm... Not as heavy as I thought. Should make this easier' the faunus thought to himself as he picked up Yang by the waist and performs a Beil Throw. The blonde maned girl rolled out of it and went to kick him while he was down, only for his scaled arm to block it and push her off him. The dragon shook his finger in a 'no' gesture and pushed forward until she started backing up to where his sword was. As soon as the dragon faunus felt the sword under his foot, he kicked Yang back and kicked his sword up, slashing at her with the blade. She staggers back and goes in to attack again, but stops when Dylan sheathes his sword. She looked up and saw her aura had dropped into the red, almost gone. The momentum carried over and she slammed into his back. Dylan smiled and patted her head and went to go retrieve his pistols from Blake, who had picked them up. The students were dismissed and Ruby ran up to the yawning dragon faunus. "THATWASSOCOOLHOWYOUDIDTHETHINGANDTHENYOU-" the small reaper had her mouth covered by her older sister. "Yeah, how DID you do that?" The blonde asked the faunus, who yawned again and leaned on Blake, who gave up resisting. RY, NP and AK all cooed at the two faunus. Yang continued to press on about Dylan blocking her semblance powered fist, the faunus only replying with "Don't worry about it." Yang huffed but stopped, seeing as Ruby started tugging on his arm. "What was that thing where you had scales on your arm and face?" The crimsonette asked as she looked up at him with her curious silver eyes. "It's my semblance. It's like Yang's but I dont get stronger with every hit or set stuff on fire. My body gets covered in scales and my power increases. The rest you'll see when the time calls for it." The dragon explained as he yawned again and the twelve students left to their dorms, actually looking forward to the school year.
