Hey guys, welcome to chapter nine of "A Special Semblance". This chapter will take place over the events of "The Stray" and "Black and White", so this will be a long chapter. Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter Nine - Rubied

"Alright Ozpin, this is the day 'Sun Wukong' arrives, right?" I ask Ozpin. I am sitting in his office, drinking come of his extra, extra strong coffee while listening to the clockwork.

"Yes, you will follow team RWBY to the docks and Sun will arrive after team RWBY checks out a robbed store."

"More robberies, the police are still having trouble catching Torchwick?"

"Yes, Roman Torchwick still evades authorities, but you still have a mission to do. Shadow team RWBY, don't reveal yourself unless me or Qrow tells you to, so keep an eye on your scroll." Ozpin finishes.

"Alright, doesn't seem too difficult, I'll see you later." I say to Ozpin as I leave his office.

Three Hours Later...

"Man, this is boring..." I say to myself. I've been following team RWBY at the docks for about half an hour, just watching them look for fellow hunters and huntress' in training, finding the competition to prepare for the tournament. Still no Sun, no robbed store. Man this is going to be a long day...

"Whoa," I hear Ruby say, I walk on the roof of a building to see RWBY approach a robbed store, "What happened here?"

"Robbery. Second Dust shop this week. This place is turning into a jungle." One of the detectives replies to Ruby. Another robbery, the police force is that bad...

"They left all the money again." The second detective said, peaking my interest. Who robs a store and leaves the money? Ruby also turned to the detectives, also interested.

"Yeah, it just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?"

"I don't know, an army?"

"You thinking the White Fang?" The first detective suggests. The White Fang... they don't need dust, they destroy it.

"Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough." The second detective ends. I look towards the sea and see a ship approach, with a monkey faunus runni- Monkey Faunus! It's Sun!

"Hey, stop that Faunus!" I hear one of the sailors yell. Sun runs along the ship, evading the many sailors aboard the ship. He runs off and is ambushed by the detectives but easily escapes. He then approaches team RWBY, oh no... I grap my crossbow and aim at Sun, just in case he tries anything, he runs past, but winks at Blake. Interesting... He runs from my view, so team RWBY chase him, and I follow in suit. He runs around a corner and jumps up a building.

"Man, that was fun!" Sun yelled to himself, taking out another banana.

"So, you a stow away?" I ask Sun, approaching him.

"Whoa, where did you come from" Sun asks, unexpected at my arrival, dropping his banana.

"I'm David, I'm on a mission to make sure you meet Blake." I explain.

"Blake? The cat faunus?" Sun questions, a bit more calmed down.

"Yeah, her. You seem interested in her." This makes my mission easier...

"Yeah, she's super cute, I just couldn't help myself from getting a quick look at her." Sun said, "Wait, you're not interested in her, are you?"

"No, no, she's just a friend. I have an opportunity for you." I propose.

"Really? I'll take it!" Sun replies, not thinking for a second.

"OK, tonight, Blake's going to run away, as her team will find out her faunus heritage. I need you to take care of her for a few days, keep her safe."

"I'll do it! You can count on me." Sun says, enthusiastically.

"Perfect. Meet me at the front entrance of Beacon Academy tonight."

"You got it, i'll see you then." Sun says, and runs off. He's pretty cool.

That night...

"You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!" Weiss yelled at Blake, while me and Sun watch from a nearby tree, looking through the window. I look at him, but he is listening intensely.

"Well maybe we were tired of being pushed around!" Blake yelled at Weiss, then realized what she said. Oh shit, slip of the tongue... with that, Blake ran out of the dorm room.

"Right, let's go." I say to Sun, and we both leave, to confront Blake at the front entrance of Beacon. When we arrive, Sun taps my shoulder. "What?"

"What do I say to Blake? I don't want to mess it up?" Sun asked, clearly afraid of messing it up.

"Just say something that will shock her. Like 'You look better without the bow', nobody but me and you know she is a faunus." I suggest, until I notice Blake taking her bow off. "Alright, time to go Sun." With that, Sun leaped down toward Blake.

"I knew you would look better without the bow." Sun says to Blake, causing Blake to look at Sun.

"Who are you?" Blake asks the monkey faunus, almost in tears, causing him to smile a bit, happy she acknowledged him.

"My name is Sun Wukong, I saw you at the docks this morning." Sun explained. Just keep your cool...

"I'm Blake Belladonna." She tells Sun, "Do you live somewhere?" She asks him.

"Yeah, some apartment in Vale, why?" Sun asks, pretending not to know.

"I accidentally told my team I'm a faunus, so I don't want to confront them, and I have nowhere else to go." Blake says, almost in tears.

"It's alright Blake, I'll protect you." Sun tells Blake, making her smile a little bit. Good work Sun...

Two Days Later...

"So, the plan went as expected?" Ozpin asks me.

"Yeah, Blake ran away with Sun. He seems to be interested in her, luckily" I explain.

"Good, but unfortunately, both of them could die tonight." Ozpin tells me, frowning.

"What! Why are we still here? We need to find them!" I yell at Ozpin, now standing in his office.

"I completely agree. Team RWBY are still searching for Blake, send your team to help them. I'll look for them with you. Help to cover more ground." Ozpin told me, I nod.

"Alright, any idea where they will be?" I ask the headmaster.

"Well, they will be at the docks to fight, if we find them, we will follow them there and help them fight."

"Alright, I'll go tell my team and meet you at the front entrance." With that I leave, Ozpin looking at me, still frowning.

30 Minutes Later...

"So, me, Vince and Dom are going to look for a couple of faunus while you and Ozpin look as well, as well as team RWBY looking for them both?" Indiana tried to grasp the concept.

"Yeah, we need to find them before they fight at the docks. When they do fight, you three will help team RWBY, me Ozpin and Sun fight the enemy." I explain.

"Who is 'The Enemy'?" Dom asks me.

"I don't know, but it is unlikely it will be grimm. Could be the white fang." I suggest.

"The white fang? Why would they be there?" Vince asked.

"There have been a lot of dust robberies lately, and I overheard a pair of detectives suggesting that it is the white fang who did it." I tell my team. They all look at each other, agreeing me judgement is right.

"OK, we'll help you, when do we go?" Indiana asks.

"We leave now."

That night...

"David, it is time" Ozpin says to me. We found Blake ans Sun about an hour ago, so we followed them the same way I followed team RWBY, across the rooftops, making sure they don't see us. "Go and meet the two faunus on the roof of that building, the battle is about to begin.

"OK, I'll see you when this is all done." I say to Ozpin, and I jump to the road to follow the two faunus.

"I can't watch this part..." Ozpin says to himself, walking away.

I stay behind Blake and Sun, ensuring they don't see me. I see them jump onto a roof of a cargo building, and I follow them.

"Hello Blake, Sun." I say to them, causing them both to look at me in surprise.

"David? How did you know we were here?" Blake asked me, still lying on the roof, hiding.

"Me, Ozpin, my team and your team have been looking for you all day, I found you about an hour ago." I tell them.

"You followed us? You must be sneaky if you evaded us." Sun said, impressed at my abilities.

"Well, it's not the first time I've been sneaky and followed you lot."

"So, why are you really here?" Blake asked me.

"You two are going to be fighting an enemy soon, and I've come here to help." I inform them.

"Who?" Sun asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think it is going to be the white fang..."

"Well, we'll find out soon." Sun spoke up.

One Hour Later...

"Did I miss anything?" Sun asked, who left to get some food.

"Not really. They're offloaded the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there." Blake explained.

"Crates full of dust... I think I know who is coming tonight..." I say to them.

"Who?" Blake asked.

"Roman Torchwick. He is a criminal who Ruby ran into before she went to Beacon, I made sure it happened.

"You knew?" Sun asked, eating an apple.

"Qrow and Ozpin told me to find a way for Ruby to get to Beacon early, so I sent her to a dust shop that I knew would get robbed, so she stopped the robbery. I watched the robbery, used my semblance to go back in time about an hour and told Ruby to go there, changing the event, but I still remember how it originally happened." I explain, frowning as I remember how it originally happened. They both look at me, shocked.

We are suddenly his by a strong wind and the noise of a Bullhead's engine. "Hit the deck!" I yell, and we all lie on the ground. We look to the ground and see some faunus leave the Bullhead.

"Oh no..." Blake said, shocked.

"It that the white fang?" I ask. I get no response.

"Is that them?" Sun also asks.

"Yes... it's them." Blake informs us. We watch as the white fang load up the bullheads with dust crates, until we hear someone I didn't want to hear. Torchwick.

"Hey! What's the holdup!?" Roman yelled to the white fang soldiers, who look towards him, "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?" Animals!? You racist...

"Sun, Blake, you two go and capture Torchwick, alive, I'll cover you from up here. We need to know why he is collecting dust." I instruct the faunus, both of them nod and leave. The fight begins... I look down and see Blake with her sword to Romans throat, interrogating him, while Sun watches from another building, ready to pounce at and point. I load my crossbow and aim towards the soldiers.

Suddenly, Blake is shot several feet in the air by Torchwicks cane, left defenseless. I fire the crossbow and kill a white fang soldier, and load another arrow. Nobody hurts my friends...

I fire another half dozen arrows, killing more faunus, while Sun takes them down with his nun-chuck shotguns and Blake takes more down with her sword and sheath. I look and see Roman ready to fire at Sun, so I leap down and pull out my twin daggers and approach him.

"Well, well, a human aiding a pair of animals! This is new." Roman taunts me.

"Fuck you, they are my friends." I say to him and run towards him. Roman's cane seems to be quite strong, so damaging it isn't an option, i'll just have to get around it and get him directly, I swing one dagger at him, which he blocks with his cane, and swing my other dagger towards his right arm, which isn't defended, but he pushes the first dagger away, leaving me open and swings the cane at my gut, knocking me back several feet. I look towards him and he aims his cane at me, to shoot me.

"David, he's mine!" Blake yells at me, running towards Torchwick, giving me time to kick his stomach and run away. I'll thank her later... I watch as both Blake and Sun both fight Roman, unable to subdue him.

"Hey!"

I look up to a rooftop and see my cousin, Ruby, spinning her scythe, ready to join the fight.

"Well, hello, Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?" Roman taunts her, making me angry. Before I react, Roman fires at Ruby, hitting her dead on as she was distracted.

"Ruby!" I yell, and run towards her. I approach and see her head bleeding a bit. "Are you OK" I ask Ruby, who looks up at me and smiles a bit.

"I'm fine, but your team is here, they are heavily outnumbered." She explains to me. "Go help them." With that I run off to find my team. I run across the rooftops and see Indiana, Vince and Dom fighting white fang soldiers, but are outnumbered. I load my crossbow and fire at more grunts, killing them while my team deal with the others. I jump down to my team.

"You guys alright?" I ask them.

"Yeah, we're good, but we need to help team RWBY." Indiana tells me. I nod to the three of them and they nod back.

"Right, me and Indiana will go right, you and Dom go left." I instruct Vince. We all agree and head out. Me and Indiana head through the alley and see Blake, Sun, Ruby and an unknown girl stand around the area, as Roman escapes in a Bullhead. "I guess the area's clear..." I say to Indiana.

"Right, let's go check on Vince and Dom." He starts to run but I stop him.

"No, stay here, you're too weak, say with them." I command him, and he nods. I run off to find the rest of my team. I run around the corner and see something horrible. Vince and Dom are both on their knees, as a member of the white fang holds a red katana to Vince's neck.

"You are too late, human scum." The man says to me, and slices off Vince's and Dom's heads. I am too shocked to yell, I just pull off my crossbow and shoot the man, hitting him in the shoulder. He flees.

"Come back here, you son of a bitch!" I yell and chase him, but he quickly gets away. I get so angry I grab my crossbow and rip it in half, not realizing what I have done. I grab the daggers and walk towards the dead bodies of Vince and Dom. I fall to my knees and break down crying.

30 Minutes Later...

I still knee there, still crying a bit until a hand is put on my shoulder. It is Ozpin. "I'm so sorry, David." He says to me, I simply stand up and look at him.

"You knew, didn't you, you knew this would happen." I say to him, trying to old back my anger. Ozpin frowns.

"Yes. Qrow told me this would happen, he said if I told you, the world could end." Ozpin explains. I simply walk towards Ozpin and punch him in the face.

"You bastard." I say to him coldly, I walk away to grab a bullhead, and fly to the person who I'm going to kill. Ozpin looks at me, and walks towards Vince and Dom, pulling out a couple of syringes and extract some blood.

Three Hours Later...

I kick down a door in Signal Academy, after fighting my way into the academy to find Professor Qrow, my father. I walk into his office, as he simply reads a book. "I've been expecting you, David." Qrow says to me, not looking away from his book. I pull out a dagger, grab Qrow by the neck and pin him to a wall through his shoulder.

"You Bastard! You killed my team, my friends! You deserve to die for this." I say to him, even colder than I did to Ozpin. I pull out the other dagger and hold it at Qrow's neck. Qrow simply looks at me and huffs.

"Ozpin was right, you are too sentimental, you could never get over this. You are too weak, not capable of time, that is why I stopped your semblance at the docks, you can't undo what has been done. I did what I had to do.

"You sick son of a bitch, you're heartless, selfish and you don't care about anybody but yourself." I lift my dagger and slam it down, sticking into the wall, cutting off a bit of Qrow's ear. "I am not like you, you deserve to die. I'm not just your son, I'm better than you. Don't EVER talk to me, my cousins or any of my friends ever again. I disown you, forever." With that, I grab both of my daggers and leave, slamming the door. Qrow simply looks at the door, and continues his book.

The Next Day...

"David, I'm leaving."

"You. Can't. Go. We're all that's left of our team." I beg to Indiana, who has packed up and is ready to leave to Haven Academy in Mistral. He simply looks at me, and continues.

"I can't stay, our team is broken, and we cant be 'team die', I'm sorry, I've decided, I'm going." Indiana ends, putting his hand on my shoulder, I do the same and we hug.

"Goodbye Robert." I say to him, holding back both tears and anger.

"Don't say goodbye..." He says and throws me a walkie talkie. "Use this, if you need my help in the future." With that, he boards the bullhead and leaves Beacon. I simply walk off, pocketing the walkie talkie.

Ozpin's Office...

"Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang will be you new teammates, you will now be known at 'Team RWBYD'." Ozpin told me, as I sit as his desk. "I have these to give you." He hands me two vials with blood in.

"Vince's and Dom's blood samples." I point out, "Why?"

"You are the only person I know with multiple semblances, you can inject these and obtain two new semblances, Adaptive Camouflage and Shadow, to help you with your time at Beacon to become a better huntsman." He offers the vials and I accept.

"I take these, not as an improvement for my powers, but a memory, to honor my fallen teammates and friends." I tell Ozpin, "I will continue to do jobs for you, but no matter what, you must tell me everything, no more secrets." I tell him and leave his office. I go in the elevator and go to the eleventh floor, walk towards my dorm room and scribble out 'Team DVID'. No more...

"David?" I turn around and see Ruby and Yang, "I'm so sorry about your team." Yang says to me, sad.

"Come on, you have to set up your stuff in your new dorm room." Ruby says, holding back tears, changing the subject. I walk towards my cousins and hug them both.

"Thank you, both of you, I couldn't be happier with my cousins as team members." I say, walking towards the room. "Lead the way." With that, we walk to team RWBY's dorm room, now displaying 'Team RWBYD'.

I will avenge my teammates...
