Time to begin the first season's finale arc. Once this season is over, I'll put up my concept for future chapter posting so that way I'm not going all over the place. Please forgive me for the Canon similarities here, but things won't be changing too much.


Teams RWBY and AMBR were down in Vale, observing the Vytal Festival.

"The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!" Weiss said.

"I don't think I've seen you smile this much, Weiss." Ruby said, "It's kind of weirding me out."

"How could you not smile?" Weiss asked, "A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances, parades, a tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!"

"You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring." Yang said.

"Quiet you!" Weiss scolded.

"Remind me why we're spening our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks." Yang said.

"Ugh...they smell like fish." Ruby said as she plugged her nose.

"I heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today." Weiss said, "And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel that it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom."

"She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament." Blake said.

"You can't prove that." Weiss said.

"I'm sure we could." Adam said.

"Woah." Ruby said, turning towards a smashed-up Dust shop.

We all walked over to the two police officers investigating the crime scene.

"What happened here?" Ruby asked.

"Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week." the bearded cop said, "This place is turning into a jungle."

"Oh, that's terrible." Yang said.

Adam looked over to Blake.

"I think I know who's behind this." Adam whispered.

"Who?" Blake asked.

"They left all of the money again." the spiky-haired cop said, gaining everyone's attention.

"It doesn't make a lick of sense." the bearded cop said, "Who needs that much Dust?"

"I don't know, you know what I mean?" the spiky-haired cop replied.

"You thinking the...uh...White Fang?" the bearded cop asked.

"Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough." the spiky-haired cop said as he took his glasses off.

"Hmph, the White Fang, what an awful bunch of degenerates." Weiss said.

"What's your problem?" Blake asked as Adam began to get slightly agitated.

"My problem?" Weiss asked, "I simply don't care for the criminally insane."

"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths, they're a collection of misguided Faunas." Blake said, crossing her arms.

"Misguided?" Weiss asked, "They want to wipe humanity off the face of the planet."

"So that means that they're very misguided." Blake said, "Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale."

"Hmm, Blake's got a point." Ruby said, "Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months ago, maybe it was him."

"That still doesn't change the fact the White Fang are a bunch of scum." Weiss said, "Those Faunas only know how to lie, cheat, and steal."

"You had better watch your tongue little lady, or I might tear it out." Adam said, staring Weiss down.

"What?" Weiss indignantly asked, "Do you have some kind of association with them?"

"No." Adam said, "But I don't like what you're saying about my kind."

"Adam, Weiss is right about the White Fang." Emil said.

"Thank you!" Weiss said.

"Are you seriously agreeing with this...icy monster?" Adam asked.

"But...Adam is right about the Faunas, you are sterotyping them." Emil said.

"So what?" Weiss asked, "The truth is the truth."

"Coming through!" an unfamiliar voice said.

The group looked over and saw Sun Wukong come running past them.

"Stop that Faunas!" one of the cops said.

"See?" Weiss asked, "A prime example right there."

Ruby, Yang, Matthew, and Brittany walked off to go after Sun as Weiss and the others continued their argument.

"That's hardly reason enough to say all Faunas are the same!" Adam said.

"Says you!" Weiss said, "Do you know what they have done to my father's company?!"

"As a matter of fact, I do!" Adam said, "And I know its wrong, but that hardly gives you right to say all Faunas are like that!"

"Oh...and how would you know that?" Weiss asked.

Adam suddenly quieted down.

"That does it, I'm done here." Adam said, walking off.

"Weiss!" Blake said.

"What?" Weiss asked.

"Are you really that dense?" Blake asked, walking off.

"How dare you! I'm your teammate!" Weiss said.

Emil walked after Adam.

"Adam, what's wrong?" Emil asked.

"Leave me alone." Adam said.

Adam pushed Emil back and continued walking.

"It was a mistake to leave." Adam thought.


Back in AMBR's dorm, later that night, the team had gone to sleep early, except for Adam.

"Maybe I should have stayed with the White Fang." Adam thought, "At least I was respected there."

Adam looked over to the window and headed to it.

"And I could leave right now. So why am I not?" Adam thought.

Adam looked back to his teammates.

"Maybe it's because of them." Adam thought.

Adam looked through the slightly open door to his team's dorm and saw Blake shoot by.

"Blake?" Adam whispered.

Adam walked out.

"Adam?" Matthew asked just as Adam left.

Matthew looked around.

"Where'd Adam go?" Matthew asked.


Over in the plaza, Blake was running to the center. Blake came to a stop and undid the bow on her head, revealing her cat ears.

"Blake!" Adam said, "Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving." Blake said, "I...I can't take it anymore."

"I don't think I can either." Adam said, "But where do we go?"

"I might have an idea." Sun said as he approached the group.

Adam suddenly pulled his sword out and stuck it inches from Sun's neck.

"Who are you?" Adam asked.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Sun said, pushing the sword to the side, "The name's Sun, and I heard you had a problem. So I'm here to help."

Adam and Blake looked at each other.

"We don't really have much other choice right now." Blake said.

Adam seceded and put his sword away.

"If Blake gets harmed, I'm coming for you." Adam said.

"Great, now that we all agree, we should get going." Sun said.

The threesome headed out of Beacon, unaware that someone was watching them from the shadows.

"Oh my precious Adam..." the spider Faunas said as she left the shadows, "How lost you are."

The Faunas slid one of her spider legs across the wall, leaving acid behind.

"Allow me to show you the way home." the spider Faunas said as she began to follow Adam's group.


The next morning, in AMBR's dorm, a loud banging sound could be heard.

"CODE RED, REPEAT, CODE RED!" Matthew said, banging two pans together.

"Matthew, what the heck is wrong with you!?" Emil asked.

"I was trying to get my beauty sleep, you know." Brittany said.

"It's Adam, he's gone!" Matthew said.

"Gone?!" Emil and Brittany asked.

"What do you mean 'gone'?" Brittany asked.

"And where?!" Emil asked.

Ruby opened the door to the dorm.

"Guys, have you seen Blake?" Ruby asked, right before noticing Adam's absence, "Where's Adam?"

"Wait, Blake's missing too?!" Matthew asked.


A few days later, RWBY and AMBR were continuing the search for Blake and Adam.

"So, Blake was also a Faunas?" Emil asked.

"And a White Fang member?" Brittany asked.

"Correct." Weiss said, "Hard to believe that we had a White Fang member right under our noses."

"Weiss, let's not jump to conclusions, we didn't hear anything about this directly." Matthew said, "She might be a member, she might not be. But the thing we have to focus on is finding both of them."

"I just hope they're okay." Ruby said.


At a local restaurant, the three Faunas were meeting. Adam, Blake, and Sun all shared a table.

"So...you want to know more about us?" Blake asked.


That's where I'll leave this here. I hope you all have a good day. The next chapter will begin to change Canon, so look forward to that.

Forgive me about my Volume 1s when it comes to Canon alteration stories, they don't change much in the timeline at first.

Oh, BTW, there is an open OC submission for Vytal Tournament competitors in my story: Far From Home. A person who gets a featured OC will be given a favorite on their profile if you are a user, or a Follow if you are a RWBY Amino user, or both if you have accounts on both. My name on RWBY Amino is: Kody Crimson.

Powerhouse out.
