Disclaimer, I do not own RWBY

AN/ Hello once again everyone! I'm back with another chapter! I would like to start off by saying that, at this moment, Qrow for once isn't drunk, I would like to clarify that. Also, I start college tomorrow, so wish me luck! Anyways, onto the chapter!

"Ah, Raven. I was looking for you." Ozpin spoke as walked in pace with her.

"What do you need Ozpin? My daughter is waiting for a fight." Raven said, urgency and annoyance in her voice.

"I am aware. After that, we have need of your help. Qrow brought in a general of the White Fang, and he has so far proven unwilling to talk." Ozpin said as he finished his coffee.

"And what do I get out of it? Who did he even capture?" Raven asked.

"Adam Taurus. If you would like to avenge Summer, he would be a start." Ozpin answered before walking away down another hall.

"Always has to be a mystery. Very well then." Raven said to herself. Walking through the halls lost in thought, Raven wound up in the dorms.

"Nora! Get out of the fridge!" Raven heard shouting coming from one of the doors.

"Why are there even energy drinks in there?!" Another voice shouted.

"Protect me sloth assassins!" Before she could react, the door was blown off it's hinges, followed by a ginger haired girl running out, followed by a red headed spartan, a black haired ninja and a blond knight.

"This is who the next generation has to offer? I'm almost worried the grimm may win." Raven mused to herself. Turning around, the name plaque on the opposite dorm caught her eye. On it read: Team RWBY.

"So she leads a team as well. You would be proud Summer." Raven spoke sadly. Broken from her thoughts by her scroll, Raven opened her messages. "She's been released. Good. The sooner she can get back on her feet, the better."

Finding her way to the arena, Raven mentally went over her supplies. 'I recently repaired any damaged blades. The sheath was recently tuned and the hilt was cleaned yesterday. She wants a fight, she'll get one.'

* Yang *

"Yang if you don't stop, you'll be too tired to fight." Ruby warned from her seat. Having just been released from the medical wing, Ruby wanted to watch the fight. Sitting with Blake and Qrow on either side of her, Ruby tried to itch the bandages wrapped around her leg.

"If you don't stop trying to itch that, you're going to end up back in bed." Qrow warned, making Ruby pout.

"He has a point you know. And if that does happen, no reading together for a week." Blake threatened, making Ruby pout even more.

"I have to ask, but how far over her head is Yang right now?" Weiss asked as she sat down next to Tai.

"Let's just say that for as much of a fighter as she is, this will be a much bigger challenge than anything she ever has, and possibly ever will face." Tai spoke, worried about what would happen.

"Sadly, he's right. If there's one thing about Raven, it's that she is ruthless. She will use everything she has to disorient and tear Yang down. That, and like me, she inherited the Branwen ability." Qrow spoke, sounding just a little proud of his sister.

"What do you mean? Do Yang or I have it?" Ruby asked, never once having heard anything about this.

"Let's save that talk for a different time. First these two have to mend their relationship." Qrow gestured to the floor as Raven walked in.

"So you actually showed up. I thought you would run from me again." Yang spat.

"I'm here to prove that my apology is real. You wanted a fight, you'll get a fight." Raven challenged.

"If you two will wait to tear into each others throats. I'll be your ref. Tournament rules?" Tai asked as he stepped down to the floor.

"No, I want to go until she gives." Yang growled.

"As she wants." Raven responded. Tai shook his head, wondering why he had two stubborn women in his life.

"Alright. The one on one fight between Raven Branwen and the challenger, Yang Xiao Long, will be fought until one gives. No outside help of any kind is allowed. Intervention will only be as necessary. Do both sides understand the rules?" Tai received a nod from both women. "Then begin!"

Starting off hot, Yang shot forward, sending a flurry of kicks and punches at the red swordswoman. Weaving around the flurry of limbs, Raven waited for an opening. Seeing her chance come, Raven ducked under Yang's right hook and drew a green blade and swiped at Yang's gauntlet. The combination of the green dust infused blade and the force sent Yang spiraling off balance. Taking advantage of the break, Raven swiped at her feet, throwing Yang onto the floor.

"Do you yield?" Raven asked as she walked around Yang as her head swam.

"Not even close." Yang growled before launching herself off the floor and launching a barrage of dust and buckshot at her mother. Switching her blade for one infused with red dust, Raven opened up portals with her semblance, taking the dust shots and launching them back at Yang. After Yang had exhausted her load, she was left vulnerable as one last portal opened up, releasing every shot that she had dodged back at her.

"Yang can't keep going for much longer. She's draining her aura far too fast." Weiss commented. As the smoke cleared, they were all surprised to see Yang still standing. With a roar that would put a lion to shame, Yang flared her aura and activated her semblance, Launching herself at her opponent. Faster than Raven could react, her arm was lifted as Yang landed a solid haymaker into Raven's side. Yang took the time to reload as Raven lay on the ground, struggling to pick herself up after that hit.

"I see you've made yourself strong." Raven commented.

"Not that you had any hand in it." Yang spat. Yang waited for Raven to stand again before getting into a fighting stance. Looking up at the board, Yang couldn't believe what she saw. Her aura was deep into the red, while Raven's was only in the yellow. This proved to be a fatal mistake as another portal appeared in front of her. Shocked, Yang couldn't do anything aboout the hand that shot through and pulled her in.

Kneeing Yang in the gut, Raven let her drop to the floor, winded. "Yang, just stop. I don't like hurting you."

"No, not until I make you feel what I've felt for the last fifteen years!" Yang wheezed.

"Yang, this will accomplish nothing, you have no aura and you can barely stand. I only accepted your fight because it was the only way you would listen to me. Tell me, if Ruby were to be killed by lawless extremists, what would you do?" Raven asked.

"I would hunt them down and, make, them, pay." Yang said, realizing what she just said.

"Yang, you and I are alike in more ways than one. I'm sorry for what I've done to you. Tai, call the match." Tai nodded.

"And the winner is, Raven!"

* Beacon Cell's *

"So they sent you. I have to say, my men actually feared you for quite a while. But we know why you fight. You let your emotions control you when you fight. Timber was more than happy to deal that blow to you." Adam remarked, his blood red eyes holding their menacing glint despite being captured.

"Adam, you of all people should know what will happen if you don't start talking, and soon." Raven held a murderous glare, waiting for a response.

"You know, my dear sister. Perhaps we should both take a try at this." A voice called out from above as a crow landed on the edge of the table.

"You know, dear brother, I think you are right." Raven spoke as Qrow appeared next to her.

Adam visibly paled. He knew what either one of them alone was capable of. But the two of them together was something else entirely. Raven herself could bring ruin in her wake if she so chose, and Qrow could easily tear you down, using his unique charm to confuse.

"Even if I told you anything, you would be powerless to stop it." Adam tried to challenge, but he could see he had already lost.

"Try us." Was all that was said before scream could be heard from the cell.

AN/ And done! I hope you all enjoyed that. The plot will thicken up more very soon after this, so just hold on tight while that happens. Anyways, I hope you all have a great day, until next time!
