Alright so a new chapter in quite a while, so while things are hectic on my end... and not looking all that much better, I'm still writing and trying to find more work to make a living. So as Always, I DO NOT own RWBY or Zelda. They belong to Rooster Teeth and Nintendo respectively.

Jaune Arc wanted to be a normal Huntsman, in a normal Huntsman academy and do normal Huntsman like things with his normal Huntsman life... He had come from a long line of heroes that he respected, more so since he met the four Links of the different times and eras. So therefore... it would make since that he would have to be cursed with their verity of luck.

Time spent his first night out in Hyrule Fields... fighting Stalkchildren and mistook a Peahat as some kind of exotic plant... which lead him running away from the plant for an hour trying to get away...

Then there was the time Agitha found Twilight in his wolf form and called him Mr. Puppy, and rode him around the field... while not embarrassing, it did make for a great nickname for him when she and Colin... eventually settled down...

For Wilds... let's just say he took pride in killing any Stone Talus he found after his first encounter with one when he was on the Great Plateu... Sure sticks and stones may have broken some of his bones... but he had a Shrine of Resurrection not even a mile away... So that was good...

for Sky... it was the time Zelda literally pushed him off the edge of Skyloft... while he assumingly had his Loftwing still around when it was caged up by Groose...

But he was getting off topic, let us return to the fact that in this forest being filled with Grimm... how a mysterious woman, somehow brought out a Guardian of all things... a Guardian that wasn't just aiming to crush him but was now aiming at another target.

"What even is this thing?!" Weiss called out as Ruby was up ahead with her sembalance, shooting at it with her gun/scythe mixture of a weapon.

"What is it doing here?" Pyrrha called out, not expecting her partner to attract... whatever this thing was and send it after all of them. Jaune however glared as he wished he could use Wild's Sheikah Slate and use Stasis to hold it back for a while. But one thing that didn't make any sense was why it wasn't firing it's laser... seriously, it always used some kind of weapon...

So why wasn't this one... Still he needed to find some cover, they needed to separate themselves from it's line of sight... but how...

"Look, a cave" Pyrrha pointed out as Jaune nodded. That would work, it seemed to small for it to move into it with them.

"Everyone, get into the cave" Jaune ordered as Ruby, nodded as they caught up and ran into it with Weiss and the others behind her. As they made it into the darkness that cave them cover... the Guardian eventually left to hunt some more prey.

"Alright, what the heck was that thing?" Weiss demanded, glaring at the Arc as if he was responsible for it... or knew what it was at all. Sadly while she was right, Pyrrha stepped up for him.

"Look, we don't know what that thing is, but i'm sure that whatever it is, it doesn't have anything to do with Jaune... right?"

"How am I supposed to know what that is? You're from Atlas, so you have the better idea on what that is" Jaune responded, wanting to shift the subject away from him while he tried to think of a way to bring it down.

Sure he could bring the Guardian down, or he could let it go and terrorize the others in the future... they needed to take it down somehow. Maybe if they worked together, but while Ruby had the speed, she didn't have the fire power to eliminate it. While he could handle it, his weapons would break, and the resulting battle could call the Grimm.

Guardian's weren't invincible, just annoying to deal with, Wilds took down one with two sledge hammers and three knight's swords but he doubt that their weapons were that durable, They were modified for the purpose of being mostly shift weapons... Still... Nora's hammer could probably do some major damage... and maybe Yang could fight one hard enough...

"I don't know anything like that!" Weiss screamed as she glared at them. Why did she have to deal with this, all she wanted to do was be a huntress and escape from her father's shadow. She had a brat as a partner and trapped in a cave because of some blond idiot's incompetence leading some robot to attack them.

The Headmaster shouldn't have been ok with any of this...

"Um guys... what's that light?" Ruby asked as she noticed a glowing light before them... and then saw red patterns before...

"...Oh you got to be kidding me..." Jaune muttered as they all began to run out of the cave, now being chased by a giant Scorpion Grimm, A Deathstalker...

"Well there you go... Now we're being chased by something we all know..." Jaune's sarcastic voice rang out as he felt Weiss's glare at him while Pyrrha sighed.

"Not the time Jaune" she said as they headed to the alter... Oh well, it beat the Guardian any day...

Ozpin glared as he locked weapons with the unknown woman calling herself Umbra. Jumping back, the woman smirked as she readied her two blades and went in for another blow. Glynda might have been out cold but now they were freed from the barrier to keep the annoying ants out.

*Cling*

And speaking of which... it seems like another insect has joined the fray... Ozpin's delightful little lap dog.

"Qrow..." she glared as Qrow sighed.

"Got to say that this wasn't what I was expecting when I got you text about you needing help here, Oz" he said as Ozpin looked confused, text, what text?

"...This is a bit of a setback, I was hoping to only aid Salem with the brats in the woods... seems like I can't have everything I want then..." she said annoyed as she looked out into the forest. "Still... the brats out there are quite remarkable... a new generation of heroes that stand before Salem like thorns in her side... Still, I do wonder how these kids do against some of the older tricks..."

"Alright, how about instead of talking in riddles, you tell us who you are and what you're doing here" Qrow demanded as he changed his sword into a scythe, ready to fight before she merely ignored him. She had places to be, things to observe...

"As much fun as it is to play with you, I'm afraid I don't have time to today..." she said as she called a portal and disappeared in a mass of Twilight. Before Qrow could go after her, Ozpin called out to him.

"Qrow... what are you doing here?" the old man asked as the alcoholic looked confused. He sent the scythe wielder a text on his scroll didn't he? Qrow didn't know what to think by this point.

"...That aside, you alright, Oz?" he asked as the older man nodded before looking at Glynda's unconscious form. "Whoever that was... she was something else entirely. Glynda and I were able to hold her off... but if she's working for Salem... a direct attack and so blunt in the open..."

"We can worry about that later Oz... right now we need to check on the brats, and get Glynda to the E.R." Qrow said as he was about to find his nieces before Ozpin grabbed Glynda's scroll and checked the cameras before pausing to something he didn't expect to see... and smiled.

"Looks like this is the place..." Blake said as she and yang walked out into an alter of some kind before they looked around and they noticed something placed on some of the pedestals.

"Chess pieces?" Yang asked as she looked around as Blake nodded.

"Guess we just need to pick one then" Blake said as she noticed a few of them were already missing. "Guess we weren't the first ones here..." she muttered as Yang looked to the White Knight piece and smirked.

"Can we pick the pony?" she asked as Blake just looked at her before shrugging. It didn't matter to her or anything. Taking it with a smirk, Yang looked to her partner and smiled.

"So what now?" Yang asked before they heard noises in the backqround, getting both louder and closer. As Blake pulled out her sword, Yang readied her Gauntlet/Shotguns before-

"Whoo" Nora called out as she rolled of a dead Ursa she rode to the altar as Ren ran up behind her, out of breath. "Awe... it's broken" she pouted as Ren finally caught up to his partner.

"Nora... never do that again... Nora?" he asked as he noticed she was already gone and now looking at the White Rook piece. Taking it, she smirked and began to sing.

"Oh I'm queen of the Castle, I'm queen of the castle~" she sung before-

"Nora!" Ren called to her before she smiled nervously and returned to his side, as Yang and Blake just stared.

"...Did she ride an Ursa" Yang asked before the sounds of destruction were heard as Ruby and the others ran towards them.

"Ruby?!" Yang cried out, seeing her sister... as well as Vomit Boy, the Schnee heiress and some red-haired woman she hoped was her sister's partner.

"Yang!" she called out in both happiness before her expression turned into slight nervousness.

"Jaune?" Ren called out confused, seeing his friend running as he looked at them and acknowledged their presence.

"Ren, No-" he was going to call before Nora interrupted him.

"Nora!" the hyper girl announced as Yang and Blake looked at her before their attention was diverted back to the Death Stalker that was chasing the four teenagers. "...Is that a Deathstalker... I want to ride that next" she said as Ren paled.

"...Did they just lure a Deathstalker?!" Blake yelled in disbelief as Yang growled. Great, just great.

"Could this get any worse..." Yang muttered before she heard a beeping sound and a red laser pointed between her eyes... what was that-

"Look out" Blake called out as she pushed her partner out of the way as Jaune, Ruby, Weiss and Pyrrha split up and dodged the blast aimed at Yang... and once she was moved out of the way, them.

*Boom*

"Wow... that's unlucky..." Wilds muttered as Jaune looked up and saw the Guardian back with vengeances before it jumped down and aimed at Jaune for another round. "...We can't just run away you know... Let me take over for a while?" the Link said as Jaune seemed confused. Take over? he wasn't a spirit, he was a fragment of his memory that resided in him as a spiritual form... how could he take over. That was the last thing he thought before he heard the beam zero in and saw a flash of blue light.

Staring at the beam, he jumped back and recalled a claymore and a shield while sending Crocea Mors back. Ruby readied her weapon as did Weiss and Pyrrha while Yang, Blake, Ren and Nora did the same. They didn't know what that thing was but if it could kill a Death Stalker in one hit, despite it's armor protecting it... then they were in for a fight.

"Am I the only one who thinks this is stupid?" Weiss said as Pyrrha nodded.

"This isn't a smart move... we would be better if we ran" she agreed.

"But we aren't going to, are we?" Weiss said already knowing the answer to that as Ruby smirked

"Nope... we're taking that thing down" she said as it honed in on her before she jumped into the trees to avoid detection.

"Hey, you..." Yang called as she went to punch the machine, making it flinch slightly but direct it's attention at her instead. "Leave. My sister. Alone" she said before punches as the Guardian just took it before it locked onto her, making her jump back and run away to find cover.

Blake meanwhile shot it in the sensor that made up it's eye and made it stall a little as Jaune and Pyrrha ran up to Nora and Ren. "What is that thing..." Ren asked as they noticed Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake entering the fray to fight it as Jaune frowned.

"Guardian..." he muttered. as Pyrrha looked confused.

"Guardian... do you know what that thing is?" she asked as Jaune flinched before he tried to think of something.

"...My dad told me that there were these mechanical things like spiders... called Guardians, it was a song he played on his travels about how Guardians... were made to eliminate the Grimm... but backfired on humanity before the Kingdoms... I don't know much else but we need to aim for the legs."

"...We'll talk about this later, right now, how do we do that?" Ren asked as Jaune thought of something before he smirked.

"Nora... how hard can you hit it?" he asked as she suddenly gained a smirk that promised pain to whoever was on the end of her hammer.

"How hard do you want me to?" she asked as Jaune nodded and looked at Pyrrha.

"Pyrrha, do you think you can help me cut the legs?" he asked as she nodded as he looked at Ren.

"Ren... I hate to ask... but can you give us cover fire?" he asked as the marksman nodded and Jaune smirked. "Then aim for that glowing blue eye... that is the vital spot... If we destroy the legs we can remove it's movement... then" he said as he looked to the cliff with a smirk.

"Then what" Nora asked as he smirked.

"We can push it over and break it from the fall." Jaune said as he nodded, remembering when the Zora King from his time defeated a Guardian by throwing it off a cliff. Using weight against it...

...Wait, how does he remember this, how does he even know this... wait, was this what Wilds meant when he was "Taking Over?"

"What about them" Pyrrha asked before Ruby appeared before them and frowned.

"You know a little help would be appreciated here..." she muttered as Jaune nodded and grabbed her shoulder, telling her he plan.

Qrow was about to intervene, seeing his nieces fight whatever that thing was before Ozpin stopped him, paying more attention on not the fighting team... but rather the four observing... from what it seemed like, making a plan. As Ozpin saw Jaune tell Ruby something, Miss Rose went off to tell her sister something while Pyrrha went off to tell Weiss and Ren to talk to Blake.

"It seems like they have a strategy" the old man said as Qrow frowned. He thought this was a forest filled with Grimm, not whatever these things were... As he looked at the screen, he was amazed to see the raven haired boy and the former white fang girl of Ghira's aiming at it from above. Ruby was preparing to rush it with that orange haired girl in front of her.

Meanwhile the Schnee brat was holding it down with a Glyph as Yang, that red haired girl and from what he could assume was Jacks son was dealing with the legs. It took a while but soon the legs started to break. In the end, it fell as the final leg broke and Qrow saw his niece run at it with the orange haired girl tagging along before they slammed into it, sending it flying off the cliff and down the ravine.

"...Alright, I'll admit, that was impressive... but what now?" he asked as Glynda frowned. This was a disaster in every sense of the word as Ozpin just smiled. It seems like he was right about this being an interesting year...

"For now... all we need to do is focus on both this Umbra woman as well as the affairs of the Fall Maiden... which reminds me... Qrow, I need a favor" Ozpin said as Qrow sighed.

"And I need a drink..." he muttered.

Meanwhile, Umbra appeared in her base in Managere and frowned. She was close, so close to eliminating the next generation... doing something that assured her race a place in the new world. A place where Faunus were free from human rule.

"That was rather heated there... Umbra" a voice called out as the masked woman frowned and met the face of a mask wearing man who had his arms crossed as she sighed.

"What do you want, Phlox?" she called as he merely smiled.

"Oh, the usual... reports from our mistress Salem, blah blah blah... And some treason in your Fang, blah blah blah... honestly, I thought you would get that under control Sienna." he said, using her true name as Umbra frowned before removing her mask. "Still, who would have ever thought that our dear Sienna Khan, leader of the White Fang... would join us as the illustrious Umbra of the Twilight."

"Get to the point, who betrayed me this time?" she asked as the masked man, Phlox just smirked.

"Despite you nearly and, pardon my language of a pitiful human, Fucking things up for Beacon, please deal with the possibility of Adam overthrowing you... we need to act in secret and just because he is willing to be the scapegoat doesn't mean you are. That is unless of course things changed-"

"No, nothing changed. The White Fang are still under my control... and if Adam oversteps his boundaries... I will deal with him myself" she said as Phlox merely nodded. Still, going as far as to release a Guardian into the Emerald Forest to eliminate some new recruits... Cause a little chaos to power up the Grimm before the Vytal Festival...

"...Well for now, send Cinder's support some support. We have records that a certain student is making some waves for her. And until we achieve the Relic of Choice... we must remain in the shadows, acting as if nothing is suspicious. And with that, Adeu for now my tiger-lady friend" he said as

Sienna Khan just said nothing before sighing. It seems like she had more work to do... well hopefully Ozpin would enjoy the wild goose chase while Cinder made her way into Beacon. She might have hated humans, but this was certainly overboard. Still, what more could she really do. This was the only way for her race to survive...

For the good of the Faunus, for the good of her people... she found sanctuary in Salem...

Sanctuary... in her new master... her master Lord Gannon.

And while the humans that abused the Faunus would suffer for their sins... she would, the Faunus would survive under the new world order.

Alright, so I think most of us can agree that Sienna Khan... Rooster Teeth... you had the potential of a great villain, one that was actually kind of hyped up. You had the Faunus responsible for turning a Peace Group into a Terrorist Group, the one responsible for people like Adam and the White Fang being the threat it is.

The one that held a great potential to the plot... and what do you do... you kill her off, in her only scene just to have Adam show us he's past the point of reason. I think we already know he was going to be working for Salem as well as being Blake's main antagonist, yet you just have her killed off without even showing us why the Faunus respect her as their leader.

So, me and my failing wisdom decided to say, fuck that and decided to bring her into Salem's group with Adam being, still in Cinder's faction. Honestly the only times I actually saw her in fanfiction was either as some coupling story or as a plot device for another character... then again, I haven't really checked recently.

Point is, I see potential in Sienna Khan's character and I rather have her be seen as the threat she was built up to be, like maybe have her fight Ghira for control, have her lose and then betrayed by Adam before whatever was left following her ideals followed him instead, at least give her some kind of worthy send off other than, oh yeah, I'm the main villain of Blake's story, you were my support, goodbye.

So with that rant over... I don't know, what do you guys think, Was Sienna Khan sent off well enough or did they just waste her character to boost Adam's threat level we kind of knew already was going to be high.

As for Phlox, he's the actual first OC character I'm using while Umbra is just a cover for Sienna's actions. so as always, Thoughts, advice, criticisms or other...

And as always, have a good day.
