Chapter 4: Leadership is Key
Early in the morning, Team WAVE woke up and started to get ready for their first day of class. They got dressed in their uniforms. AJ and Val changed in the bathroom while Wade and Evo changed in the room. Val's uniform is kinda big since the sleeves were a bit too long and it covered her hands and her skirt almost covered her knees but it still fits. She puts on her mask and hood because she is still shy. Aiden wears a red scarf to know that he belongs to Val. He and Val's Grimms were allowed to go to class but they cannot cause trouble, mostly to Creepy since he's the prankster of the pack. And her Grimms must be in their baby form. They all got out and went to their first class. Their first class is called Dust Alchemy and their teacher is name Crimson Rose. Val wonders if Crimson and Ruby are related since their last name is rose.
As they got in their class room, it looks like a laboratory. Many test tubes, beaker, and science materials. They sit on a table that has Team WAVE written on it. Val's Grmm friends and Aiden sit on the floor.
More students came in and sit on the table with their team names. Team RWBY and JNPR came rushing in before taking their seat. The room has a white board that has Dust explanation written in it. Then a crimson red woman came in. she was very attractive and very beautiful. All the males, minus Wade and Evo, gawked at her while the females look at her in shock.
"Good morning class," she spoke gently, "I am Professor Crimson and I'll be your Alchemist teacher." She walks to the board, "Now, can anyone tell me about Dust?" AJ raised her hand first before the others, "Yes, Ms. Jewel?"
"Dust is a source of energy in Remnant. The physical properties of Dust make it incredibly useful for a variety of purposes, particularly in the weapons of many Hunters or Huntresses." AJ explains.
"Very good," Crimson nodded, "The name Dust is implied to be a reference to the primordial state from which mankind was born. As a natural resource, it is sometimes poetically referred to as Nature's Wrath, or more prosaically as an energy propellant."
Everyone murmured in wondered about what else Dust is used, "According to ancient legends, mankind was fighting a losing struggle with creatures of darkness known as the Grimm." Val's Grimms head perked up when she spoke, "However, through their resourcefulness and ingenuity, humanity managed to discover and harness a source of power they named Dust in order to battle the Grimm…no offense." She looks at Val's Grimm friends.
Val's Grimm friends gave her a blank stare. Sure, fight them off for nothing instead of leaving them alone. Pfft, stubborn heads. But, they decided to let that slide…for now.
"The advent of Dust became the turning point in the war. It would appear that after mankind drove back the Grimm and built civilizations, Dust became integrated into everyday life within Remnant." Crimson explain more, "Despite its widespread use and prevalence in society, we have yet to understand the origins or the implications of their involvement with Dust."
Everyone took down notes about the Dust while team CDRL flirts at Crimson, "Dust is also known as a naturally occurring energy propellant triggered by the Aura of Humans and Faunus. For unknown reasons, Dust does not function outside of the atmosphere of Remnant, precluding the possibility of space flight."
Crimson shows them a Fire Dust Crystal, "Dust exists in four basic types." She puts on her desk with the other tree, "These four types of Dust can be combined both artificially and naturally to form other types of Dust, each with their own unique properties. Different colors of Dust appear to correspond to their different natures or effects."
She looks at her students, "Can anyone explain me about the four basic colors of Dust?" Blake raised her hand, "Ms. Belladonna?"
"The four basic colors are red, blue, yellow, and green." Blake explains, "Other known colors include cyan, white, purple, bright orange, and dark orange. Each color has its own unique property. Green is known to correspond to wind, Red is known to correspond to fire, and as for the other two basic colors it is unclear to what property they are supposed to correspond to."
"Very good, Ms. Belladonna," Crimson nodded, "Dust crystals are display, showing a variety of colors. Dust can be found in two distinct states, crystalline and powdered. Both crystalline and powdered Dust is known to be highly explosive. Both powdered and crystalline Dust can presumably be activated by Aura. Dust serves as a power source for the majority of technology in Remnant, from airships to androids, though some alternative technologies do exist. However, Dust can still be used without the aid of weapons or machines and can be unleashed in its raw form such as lightning."
Everyone was amazed by that. Val raised her hand and Crimson gestured her, "Yes, Ms. Rosa?"
"Is Dust limited?" Val asked curiously.
Crimson nodded, "That is very good question. Dust is a limited recourse." She explains, "Dust are found in mines but the Schnee Dust Company has their own mines, making it one of the largest producers and exporters of Dust in the world." Weiss smiles smugly. She felt really proud being a Schnee, "Okay, class, start combing Dust but be careful alright?"
Everyone nodded and started to work. Team WAVE combined Fire and Earth Dust into Lava Dust. Team RWBY combined Earth and Water Dust into Mud Dust, much to Weiss's dismay. Team JNPR combined Water and Fire Dust into Mist Dust. And Team CDRL…well, they accidentally combined Fire and Wind Dust and turned into a hurricane of fire. Luckily, Val put it out with a rain card. Crimson made sure that no one uses the Gravity Dust because it was too dangerous to combine.
Ruby looks at Crimson in wonder, "Hey, Yang?" she whispers to sister, who was playing around with a Wind Dust Crystal. Yang looks at her, "Hmm?"
"Does Professor Crimson look familiar to you?"
Yang looks at her and silently chuckles, "Ruby, Professor Crimson is our Aunt. Mom's older sister." She explains and smiles when Ruby looks at her with wide eyes.
"What? How come I didn't notice that?" Ruby pulls her hair.
"Ruby, you were just little and Aunt Crimson stopped visiting because of her work in Beacon." Yang explains while Ruby looks at Crimson in shock. Crimson saw this and smiles at Ruby before giving her a friendly wink. After class was over, they all went to Professor Port's class. Val, on the other hand, was called by Glydna to come to Ozpin's office.
Val, with Aiden and her Grimm friends, got on the elevator and went up to Ozpin's office. As she did, she and her friends entered. Ozpin was at his desk drinking coffee. Val came in and sits on the chair. Glydna and Lelouch were next to Ozpin as he looks at Val.
"Ah, Val; how was your first day of class?" he asked.
"It was fine. I learn how to combine Dust very carefully." Ozpin nodded and asked, "Tell me, Val, Professor Lelouch told me that your semblance is fortune telling, correct?"
Val nodded, "I see…can you tell me about the fortune in the academy?"
Val nodded and took out three cards and placed them on the table. The first card shows two girls arguing. The second two boys, one strong and the other weak, were holding weapons. The next card shows someone stealing and the last shows three monsters.
"What do they say, Val?" Ozpin asked.
"The first card shows some of two female students having trouble working together. The second show two leaders are fighting over toughness. The third card shows someone stealing something greater than gold and the last shows three evil beings coming here unnoticed." Val explains as she hover her hand above the cards before sliding it making the card disappeared into nothing. The three adults looked at each other before nodding. Ozpin looks at Val.
"Thank you for your corporation, Val." He said, "You may go and don't worry about Professor Port's class. You are excused there." Ozpin gets up and went out. Val nodded before getting off of her chair and went to the elevator with Ozpin with her friends following her. Once they did, they saw Ruby and Weiss. Weiss was saying means things about Ruby mistaken as the leader not her. Ozpin figures out the first card and what it means.
Ozpin went over to Ruby and stands right behind her and it surprised Ruby. "Hmm... Now that didn't seem to go very well." He spoke as Val went over to him. Gaia looks over to see Port and Weiss and she stalks over to them. Demeter follows her while Ruby looks at Ozpin in doubtfulness, even on she is the verge of tears, "Is she right? Did you make a mistake?"
Ozpin laughing slightly, "That remains to be seen."
Gaia and Demeter stalk over to Weiss and Port and they hides under a bench and listens to their conversation. Weiss approaches Professor Port is watching the sunset over Beacon Academy's rooftops, "Professor Port!"
Port turns to look at her, "Ah, Miss Schnee! And to what do I owe this fine pleasure?" he asked. Gaia and Demeter almost laugh when they saw he was bushy eyebrows and a mustache.
"I... I enjoyed your lecture!" Weiss spoke.
Port nodded with a smile, "Of course you did, child; you have the blood of a true Huntress in you."
Weiss smiles, "You really think so?"
Port nodded "Most surely!" Gaia and Demeter rolled their eyes at them. Port then notices Weiss' small frown and lack of eye contact, "Hmm... Something's troubling you."
"Yes, sir..."
"Dear girl, confess to me your strife!" he said, "And Professor Lelouch last name is Strife and he's not like that."
"Well... I-I think I should have been the leader of team RWBY!" Weiss confessed. Gaia and Demeter shook their heads. Ruby is the leader not Weiss. She maybe royalty but she is a royal pain in the butt.
Port was silent for a moment until he speaks, "That's preposterous!"
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked as Storm perches herself at Ruby's shoulder. Zev and Zola slithered around Val's legs while Creepy was playfully chased by Veleno. Beorn takes a nap next to Ruby's left leg while Tusk sleeps at her right. Skya hangs herself at Val's shoulder. Aiden is rested in Val's arms. Cronus stands at Ozpin side while Shadow is with Val.
Ozpin began to explain, "I mean; it's only been one day. Ruby...I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment, I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them." Ozpin leans in so he can look more directly at Ruby, "Do you?"
Weiss was now getting angry, "Excuse me?!"
Gaia and Demeter wanted to burst to laughter but they decided to watch more. Port simply said, "I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray!"
"So you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?"
Port shook his head, "With all due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude."
Weiss was seething now, "How dare you!" Gaia and Demeter rolled their eyes at her. She has poor attitude.
"My point exactly, I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted." Port gestured Weiss
Weiss crosses her arms, looking defiant, "That's not even remotely true!" but under Port's gaze, she reluctantly relents, "Well... not entirely true."
"Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?" Ozpin looks at Ruby while Zev and Zola slithered at his cane.
Ruby looks thoughtful with Ozpin's words, then smiles at him.
Port began to explain to her the right way, "So the outcome did not fall in your favor. Do you really believe that acting in such a manner would cause those in power to reconsider their decision?" As Weiss finally calms down and looks at him again, "So instead of fretting about what you don't have, savor what you do. Hone your skills, perfect every technique, and be not the best leader, but the best person you can be."
Demeter and Gaia looked at each other. They heard enough and they went back to their friends while Weiss smiles a little at the words of wisdom.
Ozpin turns back on Ruby, still talking to her, "You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility, Ruby. I advise you take some time, to think about how you will uphold it."
Ruby, with a last look of consideration, turns and walks away. She comes to the balcony where Port is walking away from Weiss and smiles a little at her partner. Then she saw Demeter and Gaia walking inside and went back to Val and their friends. They all went back to the dorms knowing that Ruby and Weiss are going to be good friends.
Wade was at the battle room with his team and classmates. He watched as Jaune spars with Cardin. This spar shows how the hunter or huntresses used their auras in defense. Jaune didn't use it well. Cardin taunts at Jaune's skills. Wade didn't like that guy if he bullies someone means he's weak and a coward. Cardin always makes fun of the weak but to Wade. Cardin is the weak link.
Cardin was about to finish Jaune if it wasn't for Glydna. Glydna looks to the seated and standing students, such as Yang was punching the air in anticipation, Weiss was shaking her fists with an excited smile, and Ruby was shaking her entire body with enthusiastic energy while squealing softly, "Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!"
The bell rings, and students start leaving while Pyrrha continues to frown sadly. Jaune, still sitting on the floor, hangs his head in shame as the scene goes dark. Wade got up and his team went out of the room and to the cafeteria.
Team WAVE was sitting next to Team RWBY and Team JNPR while Nora tells them an unbelievable story, "So! There we were, in the middle of the night..."
Ren corrected, "It was day."
Blake pays no attention as she is lost in her book, and Yang, who is hanging on her every word with her hands cupping her face. Evo listens to music in his green headphones. "We were surrounded by Ursas..."
Ren holds up a coffee cup, "They were Beowolves."
"Dozens of them!" Nora screams this as she stands at the table of Team RWBY and JNPR. Weiss ignores Nora and files her nails, AJ, Ruby and Pyrrha are listening politely, and Jaune is messing with his food. Val eats her food while her friends eat at the floor. Shadow was eating steak with Aiden. Storm eats a fried fish. Zev and Zola were both sharing a burger. Veleno was eating a chilly. Beorn was eating honey. Skya eats some nuts. Creepy was eating a salad with meat. Tusk eats a watermelon with Cronus, Demeter and Gaia are sharing a turkey. Wade just drinks his cup of joe.
"Two of 'em," Ren corrected Nora.
AJ, Ruby and Pyrrha now look at a distant Jaune with concern, "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!" They, minus Jaune and Evo, stared at her blankly.
Ren sighs, "She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now."
"Ah month?" Wade asks, raising a brow. Ren nodded.
Pyrrha looks at her Jaune, "Jaune? Are you okay?" she asks.
Jaune snaps out of his thought and turns back towards them, "Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?" He lied.
"It's just that you seem a little... not okay..." Ruby said.
The others stop their distractions and stare at him, "Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Look!" he holds up a thumb while laughing nervously until his attention is 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 Larkholds up his hands to his head in a mock interpretation of her unusual features. They saw this and Pyrrah spoke.
"Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school!"
"Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around! You know…practical jokes!" Jaune said.
"He's a bully." Ruby added.
"More like a jerk," Wade corrected, earning nods for the others minus Jaune.
Jaune scoffs, "Oh, please! Name one time he's bullied me."
"When you were going to class, Cardin knocks his arm into yours and make you drop your book. When you and Cardin are about to pass through a doorway, Cardin clicks on your shield and it blocks the exit. And then Cardin quickly pushes you into a locker and sends you flying." Val explains. She seen his fortune and it wasn't pretty.
The others look at her and then focused on Jaune now, "Ya were sayin'?" Wade asks, patting Val's head.
Jaune attempts to laugh it off, "I didn't land far from the school!"
"Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask." Pyrrah said.
"Or ya can tell the teachers. They have rules ya know about bullyin'." Wade added.
"Ooooh!" Nora gets up from the table and presents her diabolical plan with a not-entirely-sane grin, "We'll break his legs!"
They, minus Evo, gave her a strange look, Jaune sighs, "Guys, really! It's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone."
They all looks over as the laughing grows louder, mixed in with cries of pain from the rabbit girl when one of her ears is tugged on by Cardin.
"Ow! That hurts!" Velvet stops struggling and grimaces as she say, "Please, stop..."
Cardin continues laughing as he turns to his cronies, "I told you it was real!"
Russel was guffawing with his teammates "What a freak!"
Wade narrowed his eyes before grabbing a single pea and fired it at Cardin's eye. Cardin yelp it pain and he lets go of Velvet's bunny ear. Velvet almost falls to the floor but in a flash. Wade caught her in the waist and her tray on his other hand. He helps her up and gives her tray back.
Velvet blushed a little, "Thanks…" she whispers with a small smile. Velvet has a little crush on Wade when she saw him at the first day. He was so cool. Val wanted to help too. Hidden in her right sleeve was a hard. The card shows four council members punishing four criminals. The card glows red and blue as Val looks over to Wade and Velvet.
Wade nodded before glaring at Cardin. Cardin was able to recovers and glares at Wade hatefully.
"Why you?!" Cardin gets into Wade's emotionless face. All the students, minus Evo, tense up. They're gonna have a brawl in the cafeteria.
"Ah, grow up," Wade snarls, "Ya anin't a kin' here Cardin. Yer a student, like us, not a bossy and an airheaded kin'," Wade crosses his arms and glares at Cardin.
Cardin scoffs, "Says who?! You and one army!"
Evo appears behind Velvet and walks over to Wade side, "Make that two." He hissed venomously.
AJ gets up and stands next to Velvet and places her hand on the bunny faunus shoulder, "Three."
Then Val, with her sleeves together hiding her hands with the card, and her grimms plus Aiden came to them, "Fourteen!" Her Grimm friends growled at Team CRDL. They can feel the negativity of the four and wanted to grow big and tear them apart.
Russel, Dove and Sky flinched at the grimms. They know how dangerous they are, especially Gaia and Demeter. When Dove was to first spar with Val, he thought it would be easy but boy he was so wrong. He nearly died when Val uses her fortune cards at him and then summons Gaia and Demeter to block his path. Glydna stops the match and passed Val's excellent strategy and Dove has forever tantrum of Val's skills and Grimms.
Cardin glares at them but not on AJ. He has a huge crush on her, "Oh yeah! But, it's still not enough for me to beat you all up!"
"Make that eighteen," Ozpin's voice said from behind. Cardin and his team froze as they turned around and flinched to see Ozpin, Glydna, Lelouch and Crimson looking at them full of disappointment and a bit anger.
"Mr. Winchester, it is wise not to engage a fight with you classmates." Ozpin said calmly yet coldly.
Cardin tried to make an excuse, "B-but…"
"No buts, Mr. Winchester." Glydna crossed her arms.
"Mr. Cross is correct," Crimson spoke, "You are a student not a king."
Ozpin nodded, "Mr. Winchester, you treat your classmates fairly not bullying them," he scolded, "And you are a leader and you must learn how to lead your team in the right path not the wrong one." Russel, Dove and Sky shrink in embarrassment as the teachers scolded them in front of their classmates, "Do you understand?"
Cardin lowered his head, "Yes, Sir…" he mutters.
"Good," Ozpin takes a sip in his coffee, "But, you and your teammates are still going be punished for this behavior."
Lelouch nodded, "And that would be cleaning Professor Crimson's class for three months." He explains, "Every time students mix some Dust. There's sometimes a mess. You and your team will clean them up after school without using Aura, understand?"
Team CRDL slump their heads, "Yes…"
"Good but, you four come to my office so we can have a proper discussion of this inexcusable behavior." Ozpin said.
They nodded and got up, "Professor Lelouch, Professor Crimson, take them to my office. I need to talk with Team WAVE."
Nodding, the two Professors take Team CRDL to Ozpin's office. Ozpin looks at Team Wave, "You four did the right thing to help a friend." He smiled, "For that, you four get extra credit."
Val and AJ smile in happiness while Wade and Evo nodded. Glydna looks at them and nodded, "You four make great examples of being hunters and huntresses. It's a shame that Mr. Winchester and his team don't have those." She sighs. She was proud at Team WAVE and their kindness. They are strong and wonder if they should graduate early.
They nodded and Ozpin and Glydna left to the office. The others went back to eating and saying about how lucky that Team WAVE gets extra credit. Velvet smiles at Team WAVE, "Thanks for your help."
Wade tips his hat, "Anytime, partner."
AJ gently squeezes Velvet's shoulder, "If they bother you just tell us, okay?" she smiles kindly before letting go.
Velvet smiles and nodded before returning back to her table with a happy smile on her face. Team WAVE returns back to their table and Team RWBY and JNPR, minus Jaune, smile at them.
"You guys are awesome!" Ruby grins as she and high-fives with AJ.
"Yeah! You show that guy a thing or two." Yang grins as she gives Val a noogie, also almost chocking her.
Blake nodded with a smile, "There should be more people like you guys."
"Yup, you show great excellent." Weiss agreed.
"I still think we should break his legs." Nora pouted. Everyone looks at her and gives her the "Really?" look. She shrugs her arms up, "What?"
"I don't think breaking' 'is legs is gonna stop that idiot." Wade said.
Pyrrha nodded, "Atrocious. I can't stand people like him." She said, "At least he got punish and also his team."
Blake nodded, "I wonder how the teachers were able to know."
Val smiles, "If Cardin would've been kind, he should've got glory but he failed by using violence and pain of others. For that, he got punished." Val shows them the card. It was still glowing, "He has a bad fortune." Everyone, minus Jaune, stared at it in awe until it disappears in and red and blue sparkles fall.
"Ooooowwww…" Nora awed as she tries to get the sparkles but they disappear.
"You use your semblance to bring him bad fortune." Blake smiles and Val nodded.
Jaune got up and looks back at his friends and sighs to himself before moving on with his tray table. Pyrrah was worried about him and wonders what is bothering him
At Oobleck's class, Jaune was sleeping with his head resting in his hands while a constantly-zooming and fast-talking Professor Bartholomew Oobleck is in the middle of his hyperactive lecture, educating his students, "This is prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War!" he zooms up to the front of the class and the map covered in papers behind his desk, "Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie."
He points at the map of said-area with his stick, and then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk. Val's Grimms were fast asleep as well as Aiden. They were sleeping on top of Val's desk with the other members of Team WAVE, "Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!" he zooms around the classroom more, sipping his coffee again before continuing to zoom and talk, "Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"
Some of the students that are Faunus raise their hands. Velvet, after a moment, does the same.
Oobleck shook his head, "Dreadful…simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" he takes another sip of his coffee, "I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! Now, which one of you young scallions can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War?" a hand is raised, "Yes?"
Weiss spoke, "The battle at Fort Castle!"
Oobleck nodded, "Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"
Unseen by the professor; Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune's head, causing him to wake up, "Hey!"
Oobleck zooms over into Jaune's face, "Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?"
Jaune hesitated "Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... of the Faunus...had over that guy's stuff..."
Val sighs and secretly took out a mind card that shows someone using telepathy on someone else. It glows white before vanishing into thin air and Val's eyes glow under her mask, "Night Vision." She sends the message to him.
Jaune was surprise and said, "Night Vision?"
"Correct!" Oobleck exclaims with a smile that woke up Val's creature friends. Creepy grumbles in annoyance before going to Wade and jumps into his hat and sleeps there. Wade shook his head before listening to the teacher.
Cardin was surprise but he decided to change that, "Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier."
Oobleck shakes his head. Pyrrah rolled her eyes, "You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" she said.
Cardin looks at her, "What? You got a problem?"
Pyrrha narrowed her eyes, "No, and what Jaune said is true. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark." Cardin growled at her when she added the correct answers.
Blake added, "General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured."
Pyrrah then added, "Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure."
Cardin gets up from his seat, fist clenched and Oobleck saw this and scolded, "Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat. You and your team are already punished and do you want another punishment for the rest of your semester?!" Cardin sits back down and growls. Jaune laughs silently at his Cardin's embarrassment. "You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings." He takes yet another sip of his coffee.
Jaune shoulders slump in disappointment, "Oohhhh..."
Oobleck zooms away, "Now! Moving on!" Val sighs and took down notes while her friends went back to sleep. After class, they went to their dorms. Creepy was still sleeping inside of Wade's hat and refuse to come out, unless it was dinner time. As they got to bed, Val watched her Grimm friends running around the floor. Aiden was curled into ball sleeping with AJ. Wade was doing pushups with Gaia and Cronus sitting on his back. Evo was playing his Musicshocker on the floor with Zev and Zola on his arms. Zev in on the right while Zola is on the left.
"I wonder if the Field Trip to Forever Fall will be fun." AJ taps her pen on her chin.
Wade just did some pushups, "Maybe, it's gonna be fun unless Team CRDL would ruined it," he answered before doing one handed pushups. Evo nodded in agreement. As the finished, they all went to bed and get ready for tomorrow.
Next day
An overhead shot of a forest bustling with red leaves and gray trunks is seen as the camera descends and shows Glynda leading teams RWBY, JNPR, WAVE, and CRDL through the area.
Glynda leads the groups, "Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so."
AJ and Val giggled as they follow Glynda. Wade and Evo were carrying the supplies with the help of Demeter. The group stops, and Jaune, grunting and carrying a large case with six empty glass jars on top, tries to catch up with them and ends up bumping into Cardin. The bully scowls at Jaune, who attempts to feign innocence by whistling tunelessly.
Glynda starts instructing the groups, holding up a full jar of their objective, "Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. Ms. Rosa's Grimms are tamed so they can keep you safe, for now. We will rendezvous back here by 4 o'clock. Have fun!" She said before leaving. While Yang Xiao Long and her sister smile at one another, Jaune attempts to sneak away from Cardin to his team, but the blackmailer sees this and grabs Jaune by the back, "Come on, buddy…let's go!"
Jaune miserably looks up at his team, where Nora and Ren are already walking into the forest's depths and Pyrrha is staring sadly at the scene. Dropping his gaze, Jaune turns and follows CRDL, to the disappointment of a sighing Pyrrha before she continues on.
As everyone is retrieving their samples of sap, Ren, kneeling to collect it from a tree, passes a full jar to Nora, who Mmmms! at the gift as Ren trades it for the other jar in her care. He turns back to the tree and starts filling it up while several licking sounds are heard until he turns back to Nora, now with an embarrass smile covered in red and an empty jar in her hands. Val summons Shadow, Skya, Creepy and Beorn. They help Team WAVE to collect some saps. The best saps are in the highest part so Val then summons Zev and Zola and Evo and AJ collected it. Beorn likes the sap and accidentally ate like 15 jar of sap and Wade and Val had to collect again. As they collect about half an hour, they heard a roar of the giant Ursa.
Ruby gets up with concerned, "Did you guys hear that?"
"It sounded like Beorn." Evo said. They turn to Beorn, who as sap stains in his mouth, and was confused. If he's here then who…
Suddenly, the remaining members of Team CRDL are running the other way from the roar through the other students, Russel was looking back yelling, "Ursa! Ursa!" he runs into Yang accidentally.
Yang was completely unfazed by his collision, she picks him up by the front of his shirt, "What?! Where?"
Russel was struggling and still running in air, but points back from where they came, "Back there! It's got Cardin!"
Pyrrha drops her jar of sap in shock, "Jaune!"
Ruby was in leader mode, "Yang! You and Blake, go get Professor Goodwitch!" Yang drops Russel, and she and Blake nodded before following the orders.
Pyrrha looks at Ren Nora as she and Ruby activate their weapons, "You two, go with them! There could be more!"
Wade took out his Justiceshot, "AJ, Evo, go as well. They need back up." He looks at Val, "Val, take yer Grimm friends to a far area. There might be negativity there and yer Grimms might get it." Nodding, Val brings her Grimms in her Grimm Befriender and runs off to another direction. As she was farther away from them, she holds her chocker and hums a song to her Grimms to sleep, calming them from the negativity. As she did, she felt rustling in the bush. She turned and saw a grimm like spider. It was bigger than her and has black hair and two white spikes on each of its shoulder arms. The tip of the legs of the spider is white skull on its face and its abdomen was bone like armor. (Here's its picture that I saw /art/Grimm-SpoilerSpider-Big-569698184) It crawls over to her and examines her. Val smiles and outstretches her hand. The spider nuzzles it, without hurting her. Val's Grimm Befriender glows and a light consumes the spider and brings it inside. Val brought it out and it has a collar like her friends.
"You're a Venom Spiter." Val said, remembering Professor Port's class about Grimms. Venom Spiters are very dangerous. They have venomous acid spits and strong silk web that are black, white or red. They are only found in dark parts of the forest and it looks like this one was exploring, "I'll name you Charlotte."
Charlotte made a happy hiss before entering back to Val's chocker. Val decided to head back to the academy and hoping that the others are okay.
Cardin is attempting to run from the following Ursa, but it leaps over its prey and claws him away. He tries to get up and crawl away. "Crap! Crap, crap!" Cardin silently swears.
Pyrrha, Ruby, and Weiss come on to the scene, "Oh, no!"
They watch as the Ursa leans over the helpless victim, raising its paw and swiping it down... only to be blocked by Jaune's shield, Crocea Mors. He struggles to defend a stunned Cardin from its attempts to lean on him, but Weiss lifts Myrtenaster as she prepares to go help.
But then, Pyrrha stops Weiss, "Wait!" Weiss looks at her as if she grown another head.
"What are you?"
"Trust 'er," Wade spoke, "Jaune knows what he is doin'." Wade looks at the battle.
Jaune takes the shield out from the Ursa's paw and slashes at its stomach, causing it to lash out and try to crush him. He rolls out of the way and jumps over its swipe at his feet, but he is unprepared for when it launches a claw at him in midair. He lands far away, yet is immediately back on his feet and passing Cardin as he charges again. The Ursa knocks Jaune behind it when he tries for a leaping attack, and he looks at the scroll in his shield to find out that his Aura level is in the red. He grows angry again and starts to run at the Ursa as it also begins to dash towards him.
As they are just about to clash in slow-motion, Pyrrha sees that Jaune has left himself completely open to the Ursa's attack, and lifts her hand out to him, gathering dark red energy in her arm. Just as the Ursa is about to hit him, the glow surrounds Jaune's shield and makes it lift up to block the swipe. Jaune uses the surprise defensive move to lean on the ground, push his shield back up, and swing his blade right through the Ursa's neck. The head falls to the ground as the body slams onto the ground.
Pyrrha's hand stops glowing and she smiles at her work. Wade nodded in approval while Ruby and Weiss watched in shock, "Uhhh... What?"
Weiss was equally amazed, "How did you...?"
Pyrrha looks at them, "Well, Ruby has her speed, you have your glyphs and Wade has his strength and speed. My Semblance is polarity."
Ruby was awed, "Whoa, you can control poles..."
Weiss shook her head, "No, you dunce! It means she has control over magnetism!"
Ruby was still impressed and whispers, "Magnets are cool, too..."
Wade chuckles and walks away with Pyrrha. Weiss saw them leaving,"Wait, where are you going?"
Ruby pops in, "Yeah! We gotta tell them what happened!"
Pyrrha looks at them, "We could...or perhaps we could keep it our little secret?"
"I say we keep it a secret." Wade looks at Jaune, "He learns how to be strong on 'is own way." The two walk away again as Ruby and Weiss smile to each other in understanding and a bruised Jaune sheathes his weapon before going over to Cardin. Cardin, still covered in sap, looks up at Jaune as his savior offers a hand. Cardin smiled as he takes it and is lifted back up on his feet.
"Holy crap, Jaune!"
Jaune threateningly said, "Don't ever mess with my team, my friends, ever again." As Jaune stares Cardin dead in the eye, "Got it?"
Cardin looked intimidated, possibly even apologetic. With his order spoken, Jaune turns and walks away from a frozen Cardin.
Later on, the students explained everything what happened and Team CRDL got three weeks in detention for causing that action. Val introduced Charlotte to the others. Charlotte was really friendly to them. She took a liking at his new friends and helping out AJ with making clothes for Val. Jaune was able to use his semblance and would have a great time with his team. The saps were collected back to Professor Peach and the teacher started examining it. Val keeps her own jars of saps and would hide them in her pouch. She was at the courtyard walking around with her grimms and Aiden. They walk pass the fountain and saw some faunus being harassed by some people. She could hear the humans calling them freaks and Val couldn't stand it. Val took out a card that shows a police sending some criminals to jail. It glowed green before vanishes into an emerald sparkles.
She looks up to see the humans still harassing them until Professor Lelouch came behind them. The human students got in troubled and were sent to the office. Val felt the eyes of Faunus' on her. She looks up to see them looking at her in shock. She saw Velvet with them. She smiles at her and waves. Val smiled back and waves. She guides her friends somewhere. They followed Val to the kitchen of the academy. She asks the cafeteria lady to let her use it for a minute. The lady agreed as long as she cleans up.
Val gathered the things she needs, eggs, milk and more baking stuff. She puts on a chef hat and an apron and also her friends. Val started baking something. Zev and Zola mix some cream. Beorn and Cronus were pushing the sugar and sweets over to Val. Aiden gets eggs from the cart and gives it to Val. Gaia and Demeter were helping with the frosting. Creepy was trying to open a jam. Skya and Storm get some orange juice in the fridge. Charlotte was making some sort of silk ribbons. Veleno and Tusk were getting the chocolates. After about three or four hours, Val and her friends finished what they made.
They put the things inside white or black boxes and Val wraps the silk ribbons that Charlotte made. She picks one box, Storm carries one and Cronus has a wagon attached to his back with orange juice and milk with plates, glasses and forks. They left but not before Val use a card that shows a clean room. It glows yellow and then vanished and the room was clean. They all walked over to the place where the group of Faunus was are. Once they came close, all the Faunus looks at her. They looked at her, "Uh…can we help you?" a sheep Faunus asked.
Val opens the box to revile a chocolate cake with strawberry frost and red jam saying: Faunuses are cool! Storm puts down the box and opens it to revile chocolate-chip cookies. Cronus came in front with plates and juice. All the Faunus was shock to see that but the smiles at her. They know she is the good one. Shadow and Beorn handed them plates and forks while Velvet helps Val cut the cake to give and some Faunuses were eating some milk and cookies. Charlotte pours some juices in the glass and then she gives it to a female dear horn Faunus. She picks it up and drinks it with a smile. They were chatting and laughing at some jokes. Watching them were Ozpin, Glydna, Lelouch and Crimson. They were at the distance, watching the Faunus students having fun with Val and her Grimms.
"Well, it looks like Val has made new friends." Ozpin smiles before taking a sip from his mug.
Glydna nodded, "Yes, she shows great kindness to them and also her Grimms." She said with a hint of pride.
"I wish all of the people were like Val and her team." Crimson spoke, "She makes a great example to the world."
Lelouch nodded and then Ozpin ask, "That reminds me, have you found any files of Val?" he looks at Lelouch.
Lelouch shook his head, "That's the thing. There are no files about Val or her family and there was no one has the last name Rosa." He answered.
Ozpon looks over to Val. She was sitting on a male dog eared Faunus's shoulder, laughing happily as she pretends to be the tallest of them all. Ozpin took another sip from his mug, "Keep searching about Val. She must have a family out there." he looks at Lelouch, "She needs to have someone to take care of her."
Lelouch nodded before walking away. Ozpin and the others were trying to find Val her close relatives so she won't be alone. She spends her time with Grimms yet she doesn't know about her family. Looking at Val one more time, he saw some Faunus students showing Val some flips and teaching her how to do it. Ozpin smiles before taking another sip from his mug.
Done! I hope ya all like it and thank you the one with the spider grimm idea and I found this picture in Deviantart and I hope it's okay to use. Thanks for the views and who is the one sending me about Ash and stuff. It's starting to freak me out.
