*Best announcer voice* LET'S GET SOME ACTION IN HEEERRRRREEE! *End announcer voice* So I pumped this chapter out really fast in case you didn't notice. No, please, hold your applause. So I'm starting this chapter off with a very special fight (And a change in cannon) for you, the readers. So without further adieu, let the fight…BEGIN!

It's the small things in life that make it worth living. Like waking up to a fresh blanket of snow on Christmas morning. Or the feeling of finishing a really long book or game. You know, the good stuff, and it's different for every person. Maybe you don't like snow, books, or games but instead you like TV, drawing, and the playing an instrument. Well for me, watching Pyrrha beat the everlasting shit out of CRDL was doing just fine. My team along with Nora, Jaune, and Ren were sitting in the stands watching the most impressive four verses one fight this year. Normally they end horribly, with the loner getting his ass kicked. Maybe taking down one or two, but this…this was entertaining.

I sat there with a grin on my face as Pyrrha dodged a thrust from Sky by twirling in the air, simultaneously blocking a swing from Cardin with her shield before landing and tripping the two of them. Yang sat behind me, resting her head on mine with her arms wrapped around my neck to balance herself, "You're enjoying this aren't you?"

As Pyrrha hit Cardin thirty into the air I turned my head so she could see me smiling, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Pyrrha then proceed to grab Cardin and spin him head first into the ground, "None whatsoever."

I turned back towards the arena as the lights brightened and Ms. Goodwitch walked up, "And that's the match."

Cardin glared at Pyrrha, "Lucky shot," then fell over unconscious with a groan.

Goodwitch spared Cardin a small glance while commenting on Pyrrha, "Well done Ms. Nikos, you should have no problem qualifying for the tournament."

Pyrrha bowed her head slightly, "Thank-you professor."

Ms. Goodwitch messed with her scroll for a second, "Alright, I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match. Any volunteers?" She looked around the room before resting on Blake, "Ms. Belladonna, you've been rather docile for the last few classes, why don't you-"

"I'll do it." Everyone turned around and found that silver haired Haven transfer raising his hand.

Ms. Goodwitch adjusted her glasses a bit, "Mercury it it?" She shrugged, "Very well, let's find you an appointment."

"Actually," he interrupted, "I wanna fight…" he looked around a bit before his eyes settled on me and pointing, "him."

Alarm-bells went off in my head as that feeling that I'd seen him before somewhere not only strengthened, but now a marching band is wailing along with them. Ms. Goodwitch looked at her scroll a bit before shrugging, "Very well," she motioned towards the door, "Mr. Kadar, if you would, please proceed to the locker room and change into your combat attire."

Without a second delay, Mercury jumped down into the arena already in his combat clothes. As I began to stand up, Yang pulled me down for a second, "Good luck and kick ass." With that she gave me a kiss on the cheek that was observed by a certain mint green girl behind us as I stood up and walked out. I quickly changed into the new combat clothes my parents had gotten me for Christmas, strapped on my sword and new bow before quickly jogging out to the arena.

I slowed into a walk as I reached my spot as Goodwitch explain the rules again, "This will be a tournament style match. Once one of your aura's drops into the red, I'll call the match. Any question?" I shook my head as Mercury waved his hand at Goodwitch, completely focusing on me. She huffed in annoyance, "Very well, the match will begin in fifteen seconds."

As she walked off, a countdown timer could be heard, "Match will begin in fifteen seconds, fourteen seconds-".

As we stood there, Mercury just smirked at me which caused that feeling to strengthen and a headache to start. I started muttering to myself, "I had to of been before I left, because I would remember him if I had seen him this year."

"Eight seconds, seven seconds-"

I was completely oblivious to the timer as my internal monologue continued, "But where, at Signal maybe? No, Yang doesn't recognize him and she knew every guy in our grade."

What snapped me out of my thoughts was Yang yelling at me to move…and the kick to the head that sent me sliding across the arena. I quickly got to my feet but was seeing double and unsteady. As shook my head, causing a the headache to send a sharp sliver of pain through my skull. Pushing passed the pain, I shook my head again just in time to block the next kick with my hands.

Mercury flipped backwards and smirked at me, "Gotta pay attention man, otherwise you'll only get hurt worse."

I shrugged, "Eh, I try to only focus on the important things." He scowled at me as I jumped forwards pulling my sheath off my back and transformed my weapon into its polearm mode. As I landed, I rolled and came out with a downward swing that forced Mercury to backpedal. I followed up with a forward thrust only for him to grab the polearm and throw me behind him. But as soon as I flew passed him, I stabbed the blade into the ground and swung around with a kick to the head that sent him across the arena like he did to me.

As he got back on his feet, he looked at me and hummed, as if he was saying 'not bad'. Before I could do anything, he charged and attacked me with a flurry of kicks that left me hard-pressed. I blocked one with my polearm, but it was knocked out of my hands by a follow-up kick. I quickly tried to grab it before it hit the ground but he kicked again, forcing me to block. I retaliated by teleporting above him upside down, grabbing my polearm at the bottom of the hilt, and spun around in midair trying to catch him off-guard. He, very quickly, ducked under the swing and backflipped away towards Ms. Goodwitch.

I growled as I put away my polearm and pulled out my bow, notching an arrow on the string and charged. As I pulled back the string, Mercury turned to Ms. Goodwitch nonchalantly, "I forfeit."

My eyes widened as I quickly aimed the bow at the ground, unable to stop the releasing arrow and tripped on it. I quickly shot my right hand forward and spring-boarded off it and landed in a crouch. I tiled my head to the side, "You…forfeit?"

He held his hands up and shrugged with an air of smugness, "I know when I'm beaten." By now I've done away with the whole bell thing and have just replaced it with a train going at top speed while blowing its whistling as loud as it could.

Ms. Goodwitch got over her surprise quickly and ended the match, "In that case, Davian Kadar is the victor of the match, making his win/loss ratio four and two." She then turned to Mercury, "You may want to think a little harder before choosing an appointment next time."

Mercury just smirked as he walked away and waved, "I'll be sure to do that."

I watched him walk off before heading to the locker room clutching my head as it continued to throb. Reaching it, I lowered my face mask a bit and opened the med station before knocking back two pain relievers. I sat down on a bench with a groan and held my head. As I sat there heard a group of people walk up in front of me. Looking up, I found the rest of my team standing there looking concerned, or at least all of them would of been if Blake hadn't been hiding the bags under her eyes behind a book.

Without saying anything, Yang pulled the tri-corn hat and face mask of my head to get a better look at the nasty bruise that was forming on my lower left jaw and neck. She sighed, "Why didn't you dodge or anything, he came straight at you?"

I hissed as she poked it to test its severity, "Distracted, have a killer headache."

Weiss handed Yang some ice wrapped in paper towels, "You were fine before heading down, what caused it?"

I breathed in sharply as Yang pressed the ice against the bruised area, "I swear I've seen him and that green haired girl somewhere, but I can't remember. I guess I just thought to hard for once." I then turned to Yang, "Are you sure we didn't go to Signal with either of them?"

Yang nodded her head as she pulled me to my feet, "Yeah, I'm positive we didn't."

I sighed, "Don't know why this is bothering me so much."

Ruby shrugged as we walked out of the building, "I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it's nothing."

"Hey Blake," We all turned around to see Sun jogging towards us waving, "you, uhh, doing okay?"

"I'm fine," she grumbled as she put down her book.

Sun cleared his throat, "So, I hear there's this dance going on this weekend," Blake's expression soured causing Sun to sputter a bit, "I mean, sounds pretty lame, but you and me I'm thinking, not as lame" he ended hopefully.

Blake just glared, "What?"

Sun continued, "The dance, this weekend, do ya want to go or what?"

Blake just continued to glare, "I don't have time for a stupid dance, I thought you of all people would get that." Blake walked away, leaving a crushed Sun whose tail and eyes had fallen to the ground as he turned around and walked away. Ruby, Weiss, Yang and I had stood there the entire time and saw the whole thing.

Yang looked at me pleadingly. I sighed, "You three go on and try talking to her, " I glanced at the retreating form of a depressed monkey, "I'll catch up." Yang nodded her head and ran after Blake with Weiss and Ruby on her heels and I quickly caught up with Sun.

When Sun saw me he sighed, "Did I do something wrong?"

I shook my head as I patted his shoulder, "No, Blake's just tense right now." Sun nodded his head but still looked sad. I looked over his shoulder and saw Neptune and two other guys I didn't recognize staring at us. I nudged Sun a bit to get his attention before nodding at towards them, "Who're the two with Nep?"

Sun's eyes kinda lit up, "Right, you guys haven't met my team yet." He cupped his hands, "Hey guys, come over here!"

Neptune and the other two guys looked at each-other before shrugging and walking over. As they reached us, Sun clapped a guy with red hair on the shoulder, "This annoying bastard is Scarlet."

The now named Scarlet pushed Sun's hand off his shoulder, "You know how I am an annoying bastard? You're like an irritating prick. There's a subtle difference there."

Sun just ignored him and nodded at the green haired guy, "And the big guy's name is Sage." He just nodded his head a bit and smiled.

I nodded my head in greeting, "Nice to finally meet you, Sun said he'd introduce you guys when you got into town."

"How do you know Sun" Scarlet asked?

I pointed at him with my thumb, "He helped me help my teammate Blake with a personal problem back during first semester before you guys got here."

Scarlet eyes shot up, "Wait wait wait wait, you're partners with that girl Blake Sun likes?"

I raised an eyebrow, "Teammates, not partners."

He waved his hands in front of him wildly, "NOT THE POINT! You mean to tell me that you're on a team with a girl!"

I slowly nodded my head, "Yeeeees, Blake, Weiss, Ruby, Yang, and I are all on-"

Scarlet's jaw dropped, "YOU'RE ON A TEAM OF ALL GIRLS!" He stopped seeing us as he gazed into the distance, "That has to be amazing," he muttered to himself.

Sage tilted his head to the side in confusion, "How are you on a team that already had four people?"

I waved my hand dismissively, "I'm just a fifth member on paper, not in name. Their team name is still R-W-B-Y whether I'm there or not. As for how, I'm here under…unique circumstances."

He raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean unique circums-?"

Sun put a hand up to stop him, "Don't ask dude, just, don't ask."

Sage paused before bowing slightly, "My apologies."

I waved him off, "Don't worry about it, you didn't know, and thank-you for the privacy."

Scarlet butted back in, "So what's it like?"

I glanced between Sun, Neptune, and Sage who had their face in their hand before looking back at Scarlet, "What's what like?"

He pointed at the four girls that were walking away in the distance, "What's it like living in the same room with four beautiful girls?!"

I chuckled, "One, not the same room. They're separated by a door. And two, it's not as nice as you'd think."

Scarlet flipped, "What do ya mean" he yelled in his odd, squeaky accent!

I smirked, "Have you ever lived with a woman besides a mother or sister?" Getting a shake in the negative I continued, "They're as meticulous as guys say, especially if we're talking about Weiss." He raised a finger to speak again but I cut him off, "And yes, they do synchronize." Scarlet's face scrunched up as he tried to figure out what I said. I clarified, "What I mean is that one time every month, my life literally become bloody hell." That shut him up real quick and we all were laughing as Scarlet's face morphed from one of confusion to horror as he realized what I meant.

Sun wiped his eyes, "You fucking face was amazing!"

I caught my breath as I stopped laughing and glanced at my scroll, "I gotta go, I'll see you guys later." We all said our goodbyes before I walked away, but before I got to far I turned around and yelled at Sun, "My team and I will talk to Blake and see if we can get her to change her mind." Sun's grin widened as he touched his brow in thanks. Sighing, I turned around and walked back to the dorms hoping that I'll be able to follow through.

-][-

I arrived at RWBY's dorm only to hear, "I think this is a colossal waste of time." The door opened and Blake walked out bumping right into me. Without even an apology, she muttered, "I'll be in the library."

I watched as she turned the corner and nearly bumped into someone again. "Excuse me Blake," and that someone was Jaune carrying a guitar.

I quickly stepped inside and sat down next to Yang before he saw me as Weiss said, "She can't keep going like this."

Before anyone could reply, there was a knock on the door. Weiss got up to answer, much to my amusement. Yang leaned forward to look at my face, "What are you smirking about?"

I covered my mouth with my left hand to stop any laughter from slipping out as I held up three fingers with my right and counted down with them. As I reached zero, we all heard the sound of a strumming guitar. We all stood up and leaned out to get a better view of a annoyed (And disturbed) Weiss and Jaune as he tried to serenade her into going to the dance with him. This earned him a face full of door, only for him to convince Weiss to open it a second time only for him to start singing again.

When he finished, Weiss stood there with crossed arms, "Are you done?"

"Yes," Jaune said, very unsure.

Weiss just stared at him for a few seconds before giving him her answer, "...no." She slammed the door in his face again before turning back towards us to find me sitting on Blake's bed with my head slumped forward as my shoulders shook from laughter. Ruby and Yang were both smirking, but also just staring at Weiss, "What?"

Yang pointed at the door, "Aaaannd that is why they call you the ice queen."

Weiss huffed, "All my life, boys have only cared about the perks of my last name." She then smirked, "Besides, I already have a date in mind."

Ruby looked down sadly, "Date or not date, none of this will matter if we can't get Blake to go."

I sighed as I got my laughter under control, "I don't know what to do. You all know how my last talk went with Blake. She just went off with you four and did the exact opposite of what I asked her not to do." I then looked to my lower left as I thought, "In fact, the last time she listened to any advice I gave was back when we were kids dealing with racist bullies."

We all stood there in silence as we tried to think of something but to no avail. Yang eventually huffed and sat back down on Blake's bed with me, "We'll think of something, even if it ends up being we just hogtie her and bring her with us on Sunday. Until then, there's not much we can do." We all nodded and got ready for bed, unaware of the evil that had infiltrated Beacon.

(POV - A Certain Group Of Villainous Assholes)

"And we were supposed to get information on Pyrrha Nikos, but SOMEBODY changed the plan at the last second" Emerald said as she glared at Mercury.

He shrugged indifferently, "She'll be easy to get info on later, she fights all the time. Our good friend Davian is the one we didn't know anything about."

Emerald shook her head, "We don't even know if it's the same guy. 'Davian Kadar' isn't exactly a unique name. In fact, I can tell you that their are at least thirty other individuals with that name in the four kingdoms, and those are just the ones I was able to find."

Merc chuckled which caught my attention as well as Cinder's, "Oh, it's him alright." He then patted his face, "With a scar like that on his face, it's hard to mistake him for any other Kadar," Mercury then scowled, "that and the wisecracking."

Emerald smirked, "He was always able to make you pissed with just a few words." The small grin started to grow into a full-blown smile, "If it really is him, then I know how to take him down without a fight."

I glanced at Cinder as she smiled seductively, "Oh do tell."

Emerald continued, "Some big blond bimbo kissed his cheek before he went to change and also helped him patch up his face after the fight."

Cinder's smile grew as well, but into one that was much more terrifying as Mercury continued from where he left off, "He's good, really good. After what the Fang did to him he holds back when he fights, but you can see through his façade if you know what to look for." He then waved his hand at her, "But you should be able to take him without to much difficulty."

Cinder just rolled her eyes like she'd told Mercury this many times, "It's not about overpowering the enemy, it's about taking away what power they have." She smirked, "And we will, in time."

Mercury flopped onto the floor, "I hate waiting" he whined.

I scowled at his insolence, "Quit your whining you little brat."

Mercury rolled his head onto its side and was about to refute that statement when Cinder interrupted him, "No need to be so hostile, you are a guest." She then looked back down at her sewing, "But don't worry Mercury, we have a fun weekend ahead of us."

OC VILLAIN! There's a reason I left him/her very undeveloped. I want YOU, THE READER to PM me character bio's for a villain and you just might get him/her inserted into the story as a very important character later on.

I'm sorry this chapter was a little shorter than normal, but the last scene with Cinder and company was a good place to stop. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuttttt…I FINALLY got some fight scenes in! Again, I apologize about that, I've been so focused on character development that I forgot the whole adventure part of my story.

As for the actual scene, I could use some feedback telling me what I could be doing better. While I'm good at dialogue, I have trouble taking the fighting I have pictured in my brain and putting it down on paper. So any criticism is welcome.

Well, that's all I have to say, so write ya next time…

Archangel Out…
