Authors Note: Hey guys, I'm back with the next chapter of 'The tides of Fate'. I know I've been gone for awhile, but I have good reason for that.
Anyway, the poll on whether or not I should write a Halo/mass effect crossover will be going on until Monday the 29th.
Anyway, I also plan on going back and fixing the grammar and spelling errors eventually.
So, without further ado, the story.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Dragon age or RWBY. They belong to Rooster teeth and Bioware respectively.

Team RWBY(+)'s room, Sebastian's POV
/
I woke up and looked around the room. It was the same as it was when I walked in yesterday.
/
Flashback start
/
"This should be our room." Ruby says, opening the door
We saw that there were 4 beds in this room, each lined up next to each other, a window, a bookshelf, and a few other things.
"It's a nice room but where am I supposed to sleep?" I ask
"It's probably through that door." Blake says, pointing to the door on the right side of the room
I walk over to the door and open it.
I see that looks the same as the others room, minus three beds.
I walk in and close the door behind me. Then I change into my night clothes and fall asleep in bed.
/
Flashback end
/
I start stretching and think about what Ozpin told us. He said that since we were a five person team, that we would be moved to a five person room and that we would be separated by gender.
I then start going through my morning rituals.
I started by getting in the shower, then I dried myself off and put beacons uniform on, and finally I brushed my teeth. By the time I was done with all this, it was 8:24
When I walk into the girls room, I see that Ruby, Yang, and Blake are all dressed in their uniforms but Weiss is still asleep.
He then see's Ruby with a whistle next to Weiss's bed.
Weiss then gets up, yawns and stretches, unaware that ruby was only a few inches away from her about to blow her whistle.
Ruby then blew her whistle, causing Weiss to fall off her bed.
Ruby then gets off Weiss's bed and says, "Good morning team RWBY(+)!"
"What in the world is wrong with you?!" Weiss asks from her spot on the floor
Ignoring her, Ruby says, "Now that your awake we can begin our first order of business."
"What in the world are you talking about?" Weiss asks, getting up from the floor.
"Decorating!" yang exclaims
"We still need to unpack," Blake says holding up a suit case. said suit case then opens and everything that was in it falls on the floor, "And clean up."
Ruby then rushes over to Weiss and blows her whistle in her ear.
"Alright! Weiss, Blake, Yang, Sebastian, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission. Bonzi!"
Yang and Blake then rush to ruby's side and say, "Bonzi!"
The three then lean to the right for some reason.
The girls the start decorating their portion of the room. Yang hangs up a poster of a group of men called 'Achieve men', Weiss hangs up a picture of a beautiful red forest, Blake is putting books on their bookshelf(one of which that causes her eyes to widen a bit and look around), and Ruby puts up a red curtain, and promptly cuts it in half.
While they did all this I just stood there, seeing I have nothing to decorate my section of the room with.
I then notice that somehow, they have put the beds into a pile in the middle of the room.
"This isn't going to work." Weiss says
"It is a bit cramped." Blake says
"Maybe we should ditch some stuff." Yang says
"Or we could ditch the beds, and replace them with bunk beds!" ruby says, excitedly
"You all can do whatever you want, for now I'm going to head to class." I say
"Why, we still have time?" Ruby asks
"When your done setting up the beds, check the time." I tell them
Then I walk out the door and walk to class.

I was sitting in class, listening to professor port talk, when suddenly team RWBY and JNPR burst through the door, panting.
"You are all right on time. Now take your seats and we can begin class." he says
Once they all take their seats, professor port begins talking.
"Monsters, Demons, Prowlers of the night, but I merely refer to them as prey HA, HA." he says
I can already tell that this is going to be a boring class.
"Um, yes, and you shall to upon graduating this Academy. Now, as I was saying, Vale, and the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our planet is absolutely teaming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces. And that's where we come in Huntesmen, Huntresses,"Port say, winking at Yang, who then looks disgusted," Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From what you ask? Why, the very world." he says, raising his hand
"Eeeyep" a student in the back shouts. We all look back at him as if asking 'Why'.
"That is what you are training to become, first a story. A tale of a young, handsome, man. Me!" he says
I quickly tune him out and start reading to board for weaknesses of those grimm.
I would much rather here Varrics tales than ports.
"The moral of this story? A true huntsmen must be honorable, a true huntsmen must be reliable, a true huntsmen must be strategic, wise, and well educated. So, who among you believes to be to embodiment of these traits?" he asks us
"I do sir!" Weiss exclaims
"Well then, lets find out." he says, turning to look at a cage in the room
'How has no one noticed that so far?' I thought
/
Weiss walks back into class in her combat outfit with her Rapier.
"Go Weiss!" Yang says
"Fight well." blake says, waving around a RWBY(+) flag she got somewhere
"Yeah, represent team RWBY(+)!" ruby exclaims
"Ruby, I'm trying to focus." Weiss reprimands
"Oh, sorry." ruby mutters
"All right, let the match BEGIN." port says, raising his axe and cutting the lock on the cag door
The grimm inside it, a boartusk, charges at Weiss but she steps to the side and slashs at its head, roling to the side.
"Haha, wasn't expecting that were you." port says
"Hang in there Weiss." ruby says
Weiss then charges forward at the same time as the boartusk. The boartusk catches her Rapier in its tusks starts tugging on it. Weiss try's to pull it out of its tusks but it doesn't let go.
"A bold new strategy. I LIKE IT!" port exclaims
"Come on Weiss, show it who's boss." ruby says
Weiss goes to look at ruby. Unfortunately, the boartusk saw this distraction and took advantage of it, ripping Weiss's rapier from her hands and tossing it to the side. The boartusk then slams it's tusks into Weiss, nocking her across the room.
"What will you do without your weapon?" port asks
Weiss looks up and see's the boartusk charging at her. Reacting quickly, she rolls to the side and runs to her rapier. Weiss slides on the ground and picks up her rapier.
"Weiss, go for its belly. There's no armor underne-" Ruby starts to say but is cut off by Weiss
"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss shouts at Ruby
Seeing Ruby this sad makes me angry. Just because she wasn't made leader, doesn't mean she can do this to her teammates.
Turning my attention back to the fight, I see the boartusk curl up into a ball and launch itself at Weiss. Weiss forms a Glyph in front of her and one above her, and the boartusk slams into the one in front of her, uncurling itself and flying onto its back. Giving it no time to recover, Weiss jumps up and onto the Glyph above her. The glyph then turns black and launches Weiss at the boartusk. Weiss stabs it and slides across the floor as it cries in pain before dying.
"Bravo, bravo. It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true huntress-in-training. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings. And remember, stay vigilant." port says, ending the class
Weiss then walks angrily out of the room.
"Sheesh, what's with her?" jaune asks
"She's just being a spoiled brat." I tell jaune
Ruby then rushes after her, most likely to talk to her.
"This isn't going to end well. I'll go after her and see how it goes, you two go back to the room." I tell Blake and Yang
/
As I start to round the corner I hear Weiss say, "-at's wrong with you! You are supposed to be a leader and all you've been so far is a nuisance."
'Like your one to talk.' I think to myself
"What did I do?" ruby asks
"That's just it, you've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest you acted like a child, and you've only continued to do so. If it hadn't been for Sebastian, you would have run off and attacked the Death stalker by your self." Weiss says
"Weiss where is this coming from? Were supposed to be a team." ruby says
"Were not a team. I studied and trained, and frankly I deserve better." Weiss says, turning around
She then says, "Ozpin made a mistake." and walks away
"Well that didn't go so well." I decide to say
"Is she right, did Ozpin make a mistake?" ruby asks me
"Ruby, she doesn't know what she's talking about. While I don't know if Ozpin made a mistake, I know that it's still to early to make any judgments." I say
"What do you mean?" she asks me
"Ruby, it's only been one day. You aren't leader material right away, and that's understandable, especially since your still only 15. But that doesn't mean that you can't be a leader. Out of everyone on the rest of the team, your the most suitable. Yang seems like she's more likely to shoot first and ask questions later. With Blake, she seems like the type to stay quite and not voice her opinions, which isn't a good quality in a leader. And with Weiss, while she may have the knowledge and training, she would make a poor leader. She is used to everybody doing everything she says, when she says it and she doesn't listen to the advice her teammates have, as you saw back in class. This isn't good, because a leader needs to be willing to listen to his or her teammates opinions and advice if they're to be both successful and have people willing to follow them." I say
"Ruby, you have the potential to be a great leader. Yesterday, back at the ruins, while I was climbing the tower, who gave the orders yesterday while fighting the nevermore?" I ask
"Me." she says
"You took the initiative and led the others in a fight against it, successfully leading it right were I needed it. You used each of your teammates skills wisely and helped out as well." I tell her
"My point is, being a leader isn't just about leading others in battle, its also about knowing your teammates, their strengths and weaknesses, their opinions and beliefs, and always doing your best in everything you do. If you don't do that, then why should anyone follow you?"
"But what about you? Yesterday you led us all, you told us what to do, you even sound like you have experience leading." she says
"I wasn't made leader because I'm an extra on your team remember? Not only that, but Ozpin, just like me, can see the potential you have."
"Listen Ruby, you are the leader of your team, no matter what Weiss says or thinks. If you need help, your teammates will be there to help you every step of the way." I say
Seeing her still looking unsure, I say, "If you still doubt yourself, then let me teach you. I can give you tips on how to lead, but everyone has a different way of leading. Come talk to me after you've thought it over." and with that I left, leaving Ruby to think about what I said.

Authors Note: yeah so I'm ending the chapter here. Anyway I hope you liked it, basically after Sebastian's talk with ruby, she basically did what she did in the show. Also, Weiss's conversation with port was the same because I saw no need to change it. so imagine everything that happened after these two got lectured in the show, happened here just with a Door on the side of the room that leads to Sebastian's part of the room.
Also, I'm starting another poll. Next chapter is going to be a custom one with the events of Jaunedice being weeks away. Anyway in this poll you get to decide who he fights. There are only 2 choices, so pick who you want to see him fight. Also, he has some abilities of his own that are going to be shown next chapter that will more than level the playing field.(Note: his specialization is not Templar)
EDIT: The new poll will be up on Monday, after the first poll is ended.
Anyway, see you guys next time. be sure to Vote, follow/favorite, or leave a review. Or all three. Bye.
