Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY, just Dylan and the idea of team DARC. Rest of team DARC belongs to my friends.
"You know, some more students are arriving, should we go and greet them, since we're the highest ranking first years?" Dylan asked the other 10 people behind him. They all agreed, Weiss mostly wanting to get extra information on her team's opposition. The 11 made their way over to the air docks where the international flights were at, Dylan having zoned out of everything completely due to him having put on his headphones. The poor dragon faunus ended up running face first into a door, the door breaking from the impact. Dylan frowned, there was nothing behind the door, just an empty space only 3 feet wide. "WHY IS THERE A DOOR HERE?!" The dragon asked, not regretting having broken down public property. Blake hit him in the ribs with her elbow. "The transfers from Shade are here" she told her lover, who nodded, signifying that he was now paying attention. The two caught up to their friends, who were murmuring between each other. "What're you guys talking about?" The reptile eyed faunus asked them, and they all leaped back in surprise, save for Rapha, who had not been speaking, as usual. "Definitely not talking about how cute you and Blake's kids would be." Ruby blurted out. Dylan deadpanned. "Ignoring the fact that you and I were totally not thinking about the same thing, some students from Shade have arrived. Might be useful to look into some of their weapons." Dylan told them, his cheeks taking a bit of a pink color. Weiss's eyes lit up at the mention of competition and she sped off, dragging Ruby with her. JNPR had gone with them, leaving Yang, Blake, Alexis, Rapha and Dylan. "Well then, this is awkard..." Yang said, after 3 minutes of silence. "You know saying that only makes it more awkward, right?" Alexis retorted, still grumpy from having been awoken early by a certain dragon faunus's alarm that was set for his morning workout. Said faunus was focused on a dark blue haired male who looked a bit confused. "I'll be right back." The red eyed dragon told them as he seperated from the group and walked over to the confused male. "Hey. Are you lost?" Dylan asked the teen, who looked up from his scroll. "Hey, I kind of have no idea where I'm going. Think you can help?" The male asked him. "Sure. Name's Dylan Dragnox, Beacon's resident dragon faunus and leader of team DAR" the dragon introduced himself. "Dragon faunus? I thought they were wiped out by humans when they were on Menagerie. Name's Cerulean Pierce, by the way." Dylan's expression darkened at the mention of his people's extinction. Cerulean noticed this and apologized. Dylan shook it off, "It's fine, my team's over there, and so is my girlfriend and her partner." The faunus told the smaller male as he pointed to the group who had sat down on some benches.
Dylan and Cerulean walked up to the BY of RWBY and the AR of DAR. "Back. I made a friend." Dylan said, sounding like a happy 5 year old. Cerulean introduced himself, and the other four introduced themselves, Rapha taking immediate interest in the male. The two ended up getting along rather well. Dylan leaned over to Blake. "I ship it." He whispered into her ear, nibbling on it to tease her. She blushed and hit his arm. He laughed at her reaction, and did the same to Yang and Alexis, without the ear nibbling, of course. JNPR and RW returned from their "patrol", being immediately introduced to Cerulean.
Ruby popped the question that had been on everyone's mind, "Hey Cerulean, where's your team?" There was an awkward feeling surrounding the group as they all looked towards the blue haired male. He laughed nervously, "You see, the thing is, I kinda don't have a team?" He said, the end coming out as a question. An idea made its way into Dylan's head, but he shoved it back down into the depths in which it came from. "My mom had just moved to Vale about a week ago, so I was planning and transfering here. Back at Shade I was a freelance student, helping out the other first years in their missions should I be required." They all nodded at this. "Interesting story, Mr Pierce." A mature voice made its way into the group. The Beacon students turned to face their Headmaster. "Come now children, being outside isn't really the place for us to discuss this."
Dylan and the rest of the group followed Ozpin to Beacon Tower, where his office was located. "Nice place you have here, you and Glynda do anything up here besides paperwork?" Dylan asked the headmaster, wanting to hear his response. "We only do as much as you and Blake do, Dylan." The headmaster replied, a smirk making its way to his face. Dylan gaped and blushed, the cat faunus next to him doing the same. Yang leaned over to Nora and Alexis, "So did they bang or not?" The two faunus in the room cleared their throats, Dylan flashing his sharp canines at her. "We can still hear you, you know." Yang laughed nervously and scratched the back of her neck. "And for your information, no, we didn't." Dylan clarified and then focused his attention to the headmaster, who motioned for Cerulean to step forward. Ozpin began, "I have heard of your situation. I have a proposal, you join us at Beacon and participate as one of us in the Vytal Tournament." Cerulean scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. "I thought there were no open teams?" Ozpin sighed sadly, "There weren't any, previously. However, due to some... complications, team DARK has lost a member and is in need of one to participate in the tournament." "What happened to their final member?" Cerulean asked the headmaster, whose response was: "That is their job to say." Ozpin motioned for Dylan to explain. "My team was on a mission. Faced a Grimm we didn't expect. Kieran was killed in battle due to loss of aura and getting impaled throught the chest." The dragon faunus summed up, clenching his right fist in anger, causing Blake to grab it to comfort him. The dark blue haired male spoke up, "I don't want to replace your fallen teammate." Dylan shook his head "you wouldn't be replacing Kieran. You would be an entirely new member to the team. No void to fill or anything." Cerulean smiled, maybe this day would turn out to be better than what he had thought.
