I have heard the news about Qrow's new VA. Holy moly, it's Rob Lucci's voice. Also, RWBY's new clothes for Atlas are amazing! I can't wait to see JN_R!

Chapter 24: In Spite of Fear

Pyrrha gazed out the window of her and Nora's dorm solemnly. The latter is bouncing on her bed. "I wonder what's taking Jaune so long. He needs to get his butt back over here so we can have supper. We have a field trip tomorrow and we need our rest!" She flops on the matress.

"I'm sure our leader knows exactly what he is doing." Pyrrha said seething. She sighs to relief her rage. "Where is Ren? Is he preparing for supper?"

"Nooooo." Nora whined. "He went to go check on Jaune at the library." Her stomach grumbles. "I'm hungry." Pyrrha couldn't help but smile.

"You two definitely have a healthy relationship." She commented.

Nora quickly sits and hugs her pillow. "What do you mean that? Are you implying that there is something between me and Ren? Because if you are, I'll just say no. And even if you aren't I'll still say no because Ren and I are only together, NOT together-together." She rambled.

"Nonononono, that's not what I've meant." Pyrrha chuckled. "I'm just saying that I am happy to see that you have someone to have your at most trust. I only wish that Jaune could trust me like that."

They hear a knock from their open door. "Have you two eaten yet?" Orihime asked.

"Oh, no, we haven't, why?" Pyrrha asked.

"I'm about to cook in Ren-kun's place."

"Why? Is something wrong?" Pyrrha asked. Orihime informed them over what happened in the library.

"What a cruel prank…" Pyrrha responded. "Where is he?"

"He's in his room." Orihime answered. Before she said anything else, Nora went past her to the closed room. She knocks on the door.

"Ren? It's me, Nora. Please, let me in." She pleaded. She sees a slip of paper sliding through the bottom of the door. She reaches for it and reads it.

'Don't worry' it said.

"Ren! Please open the door!" Nora pleaded again. No answer. The girl's eyes shined in worry.

"Does…this happen often?" Pyrrha asked cautiously.

"…Whenever Ren is reminded of that night, he…closes himself off." Nora told her. "No matter what we do, he just won't open up."

"'We'?" Pyrrha asked.

"Me and my foster father."

"Is there anything we can do?" Orihime asked. Nora shakes her head.

"Normally, he'll go back to normal by tomorrow, so we'll just have to wait." The tone of her voice was obvious. She still wants to help Ren in some way.

"If you say so…" Pyrrha said. She smiled mirthlessly. "I guess we do our fair share of problems."

"Are you talking about Arc-kun?" Orihime asked. Pyrrha nods.

Nora sighs. "And I thought women were the ones who avoided confrontation." Pyrrha and Orihime gave her a look.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

From the entrance hallway, Jaune overheard everything. After 'confronting' Cardin, Jaune rushed back in the library to finish up, went to the greenhouse to retrieve the wasps, and hurried back to the dorms. When he arrived, he dreaded running into Pyrrha, but he wanted to check on Ren. However, from the look of things, that's not happening. In silence, Jaune watched Nora, Pyrrha, and Orihime go to the kitchen.

"Hey Jaune." Ruby greeted from behind the blonde, causing him to gasp in surprise. "Oh, sorry. It was a reflex. So, where have you been? I've haven't seen much of you today."

"Ruby, I…I…" Jaune sighs in defeat. "I've messed up. I've really messed up and I don't know how to fix it."

"Does it have anything to do with Cardin?" Ruby asked.

"Cardin, the fact I faked my in into this school, EVERYTHING!" Jaune exclaimed. No harm telling one more person, he's screwed either way and at his wit's end. "I don't belong here." He leans on the nearest wall and slides to the floor. "I'm a failure."

"Nope."

"Nope?"

"That's right. Nope. How can you be a failure after everything that happened?" Ruby said. "And for the record, I'm happy to now know the answer to my questions about your unawaken Aura when we first met."

"De-Ah…waitwaitwaitwaitwait. You could tell?" Jaune asked.

"Jaune, anyone with a pretty good Aura Sense could tell." Ruby told him.

"Oh…" Jaune remembers Tatsuki saying something like that yesterday. Just how many people really knew?

"But, I digress," Ruby said, taking a seat next to Jaune. "Jaune, you and I are leaders now. We're not allowed to be failures. Know why?"

"Uh…"

"It's because we have teams now. If we fail, then we'd just be dragging them down with us." Ruby giggles sheepishly. "Well, that's what Coco told me." Ruby gets up to leave.

"Wait." Jaune said, halting the girl. "You…don't think badly of me for cheating?"

Ruby gives him a smirk and a knowing glance. "You've been in this school for two months and, like I said, anyone with a good Aura Sense could tell at a glance." She pokes at her head before walking away.

Jaune sat there for a good while, mulling over everything said to him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day, near the end of second period…

"Mr. Kurosaki?" Professor Mellea Peach's voice called out through the haze in Ichigo's mind. "Mr. Kurosaki…" A hard shove to his side brought him back to reality. He glares at the culprit, Rukia.

"S-sorry, Peach…" Ichigo apologized, still feeling off. He notices everyone in the lecture hall starring at him.

Peach flips a long strand of blonde curly hair over her shoulder and places her hands on her hips. "My goodness, Mr. Kurosaki, where is your head lately? You didn't even attend the botany meeting yesterday."

"His head has probably been doing…other things." One male student said with a sly grin. Some laughter followed. Peach's face turns red.

"Oh, you are all practically adults now. Act like it!" She scolded her students, which only made them laugh harder.

Rukia, Renji, and Uryuu look at their leader with worry. As for Ichigo, the voice in his head joined in the guffaw, though more maliciously and it was giving him a headache. The corners of his lips started to twitch as he struggled not to grin.

The bell rings and Prof. Peach huffs, "All right, get your butts to your next class. Teams IURR and TAIM, stay behind for a moment. I have a job for you guys." The two teams make their way to the professor.

"What'dya need, teach?" Tatsuki asked.

"I need all of you to look for something for me."

"Don't you have a freshman class getting tree sap from Forever Fall?" Renji asked.

"Yes, but this is different." Prof. Peach said. "I was in my greenhouse this morning and I noticed that some of my vespula gladius is missing."

"Rapier wasps…Um, if you don't mind me asking, why do you have such dangerous insects, Peach-sensei?" Orihime asked.

"They're an integral part in my environmental survey for my freshman classes, which is the reason for their trip to Forever Fall Forest to gather tree sap." She takes out three smokers from the supply cabinet. "Here are some smokers to gas the wasps to calm them."

"Gas?" Keigo wondered.

"She means the smoke from the wood pellets, not gas from…down there." Uryuu explained.

"…I knew that."

"Here is a container to store them when they have calmed. I've already sent a message to Dr. Oobleck about this, so don't worry about being marked late." Prof. Peach informed them. "I'd recommend going to Forever Fall first, since that's where the vespula gladius species inhabited. Happy hunting~"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I swear, sometimes I think our teachers are secretly a bunch of psychos." Keigo commented.

"You do realize that we've faced things far worse than this, right?" Tatsuki pointed out.

"But, shouldn't they have asked—I don't know—some custodian to do this?" Keigo asked.

Mizuiro thought for a moment. "You're right." He hands Keigo a smoker. "Have fun, Mr. Asano."

The brunette smacks his friend's hand. "Stop that! And quit it with the honorifics!" He pouts at his friends laughing at his expense. The only ones not laughing is Ichigo, along with Rukia who occasionally casts worry glances at him.

Uryuu, who is a few steps behind, eyes Ichigo closely.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Have a good day and please be careful on your field trip today!" Prof. O'Hare said to her leaving students. A pack of papers were thrown onto her desk. Cardin smirked smugly at her before leaving with his team. O'Hare raised a suspicious brow at them before taking the papers and tidying them. "Mr. Arc," Jaune paused at the door. "Please stay for a moment." The blonde heard Cardin and his goons snicker at him. He makes his way to the professor's desk.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Are you having any trouble?" the professor asked.

"What do you mean?" Jaune asked.

"Like are you having any bully trouble?"

"…How?" Jaune muttered. The Faunus woman smiled empathically.

"I could tell when someone is getting bullied. All thanks to experience." She referred to her long, lop ears. "I've noticed that you've been docile around your teammates and that you've been spending more time with team CRDL. Also, learning of CRDL's absolute reluctance to do the assigned essays given to them as punishment for being late, I find it hard to believe that they've finished them in the span of a day. In addition, you're behind in a lot of your schoolwork and yet I've spotted you at the library, on the computer with the Art of Nature's Wrath, while I was assisting another student."

"…I…"

"You don't have to answer if you feel that could resolve the issue on your own." Prof. O'Hare told him. "I only want to say is that if you need help, don't be afraid to ask a teacher. That's what I did when I was a student and I had the help of my teammate as well. You may be a team leader, Mr. Arc, but you are still one of my students. You don't have to shoulder a burden on your own. Now, is there anything I can do for you?"

After a few moments of debating in his head, Jaune declines. "No thank you, professor. I…want to do this on my own."

"Okay." Prof. O'Hare smiled. "Have a safe day, Mr. Arc."

"I will." Jaune said. He goes to leave, but turns and says, "And thank you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Arc."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"It's so pretty…" Ruby gushed. And she's not wrong. Everyone else couldn't help but agree with her. The lush red forest of maple trees, the equally scarlet grass, and a crystal clear stream is nearby. The scene is just breathtaking.

"You'd definitely fit nicely here." Yang said to Pyrrha.

"What do you mean?" She asked curiously.

"Come on, look at you. You look like you just came out a Forever Fall painting."

"I do?"

"Oh, quit being so modest!" Nora throws her arm around Pyrrha's shoulders as she glomped her. Some of the other students agreed with Yang's assumption. Cardin, on the other hand, scoffed at the sight.

"Yeah, sure. Stroke the 'Invincible Girl's' ego, why don't you." He said, his tone nothing less than sarcastic. Jaune secretly glared at him. All the times he has known her, Pyrrha she had been sweet, kind, generous, patient, and trusting…And Jaune had betrayed that trust.

"Yes, Forever Fall Forest is indeed beautiful, but we are not here to sightsee." Glynda said. "Prof. Peach has requested you all to gather sap from the trees here and I'm here to make sure that none of you die while doing so." She takes out a glass jar. "You'll be collecting the sap into these jars, but beware. There are Creatures of Grimm here, so stay by your teammates."

Cardin grabs Jaune by the hood and drags him. "Let's get this stupid nature walk over with." His blonde captive casts a fleeting glance at Pyrrha, whose vivid green eyes glanced back. Reminded of his current predicament, he breaks eye contact.

Pyrrha sighed softly. She shakes her so she can focus on the task at hand. "Ren, are you feeling okay today? Are you sure you're well enough?" She couldn't help but ask the green ninja, being the natural born worrier she is.

"Yes, I am." Ren said with a small smile.

"Well, I hope so. When Orihime volunteered to cook dinner for us last night, I thought she was going to make one of those weird recipes of hers. But, it turned out nicely." Nora said. "…Not gonna take that chance again, though." Pyrrha giggles at her.

"All right, let's get to work, you two." Pyrrha said to them. Nora cheers in agreement while Ren nods. Pyrrha tries her best not to think about her wayward leader.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Here waspie, waspie, waspie…Here waspie, waspie, waspie…" Keigo coaxed to any rapier wasp nearby.

"'Waspie'?" Uryuu inquired.

"Hey, it's either that or this story is gonna borderline near the 'M' rating." Keigo retorted. The comment left Uryuu mildly confused.

"Any luck, guys?" Rukia asked.

"Nada. But, what can you expect? Last I checked, rapier wasps are as red as this forest." Renji said. "It's like finding a needle in a hay stack."

"I think a more fitting comparison would be trying to find the Brookesia micra." Uryuu insisted.

"The what?"

The Quincy adjusted his glasses. "The Brookesia micra, it is the smallest known species of chameleon. So small that one can fit nicely on the tip of your finger. I think they were discovered on an island off the coast of Menagerie by Franklin Claw—"

"Dude, we're looking for wasps, not pygmy chameleons." Keigo dismissed.

"I am aware of that." Uryuu told him. "And those are two different species."

"Whatever, man."

Orihime pushes away red leaves in her search when she spots a familiar face. "Isn't that Arc-kun?" Tatsuki heard her and saunters over. She sees the blonde man with team CRDL, gathering tree sap for them.

Tatsuki shakes her head at the sight. "At the end of the day, I'm sending him home."

Orihime gasped. "But…Tatsuki-chan—"

"He doesn't belong here, Orihime. He hasn't been showing up for training sessions and he's miles behind on his school work. I gave him a chance to prove me otherwise and he failed. Believe me; I want to give him another chance, but…"

"Tatsuki-chan…" The buxom girl notices the five boys going off somewhere. She takes her leader by the wrist and follows them.

"Orihime, what are you—?"

"We'll be back!" Orihime called out to the others.

"Yeah…uh, there's somewhere I gotta be, so I'll just be on my—" Keigo tried to sneak away but was caught by Renji.

"Nice try." The crimson-haired, dog Faunus said.

Ichigo watched the whole thing unfold from where he is until he felt something on his neck. By reflex, Ichigo smacks his hand on his neck. He pulled his hand away to see what it was. It wasn't a mosquito, but it was a lone rapier wasp, its red body in pieces.

And its 1 inch stinger is embedded deep in his palm.

Rapier wasp stings, like any other needle-like barb, hurts. Like many other stingers, rapier wasp stingers contain neurotoxin and are extraordinarily painful. And yet…

Ichigo doesn't feel a thing.

Or rather, he can feel the barb in his flesh, but there is no pain. He had been stung many times before throughout his life and he recalls pain they bring. Even pulling out the stinger didn't produce an aching sensation. What the heck is going on? Why is this happening? Taking in a shuddered breath, Ichigo trudges off to parts unknown, the others none the wiser. Except for Uryuu Ishida.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jaune and team CRDL army-crawled their way to the ledge overlooking their classmates. "Um, Cardin, what exactly are we doing?" Jaune asked.

"Payback." Cardin answered, glaring at a certain someone. Jaune realizes who it is.

"Pyrrha…?" Jaune questioned. "What are you…?"

"That redhead know-it-all who thinks she's Ms. Perfect just because she's some tournament-winning hotshot." Cardin takes out a glass jar containing at least a dozen or so of rapier wasps. "Jauney-boy here managed to snag some rapier wasps from Peach's greenhouse and according to her, these nasty guys loves anything sweet and sugary, like the sap from these trees." There was malicious glint in his eyes. "So, we'll teach the so-called 'Invincible Girl' a thing or two." All five men stand to their feet. At this moment, Orihime and Tatsuki arrived, but kept their distance as to not be seen and detected. Cardin shoves a jar of sap into Jaune's hands. "And you're gonna do it."

"Do…what?"

"Hit her with the sap."

Orihime gasped and Tatsuki gritted her teeth in anger. Jaune's eyes widened. "Wh-What?"

"Are you deaf? I said you are gonna hit Pyrrha Nikos with the sap. Or, I'll have a chat with Goodwitch and you'll be on the first airship out of Beacon." Cardin threatened. "So, what's it gonna be?" Cardin smugly crossed his arms. Jaune stares at the jar in his hands, contemplating. In Cardin's satisfaction, Jaune turns around and lifts up the jar.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Don't you dare do it, Jaune Arc. Don't you fucking dare!, Tatsuki warned, Do it and I'll lose all respect for you. I'll also give you and Cardin one hell of a pummeling.

Orihime has her hands clasped together. Jaune can't do it. He won't do it. Would he? No. She has to have faith in Jaune, faith that he would do the right thing. "Arc-kun, please…" She whispered in prayer.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Is he going to this? Is he really going to do this? If he does this he'd be no better than Cardin. The guy who blackmailed him to do his and his team's schoolwork for them, the guy who made him stay distant from his teammates, the guy who made Ren go into a panic attack, and now is the guy who wants to make Jaune do actual physical harm to someone who once believed in him.

Do you want that kind of burden over your head? That you are the cause of their injuries…or worse?

Jaune closes his eyes. "No…"

"What did you say?" Cardin asked.

"I said, 'No'!" Jaune repeated, throwing the jar at Cardin instead.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A smile formed on Tatsuki's face. He did it. He stood his ground. He refused to be someone else's pawn.

"Tatsuki-chan, where are you going? Shouldn't we help him?" Orihime asked as she watched Jaune being dragged away by Cardin, who now sports sap all over his chestplate.

"Nah, he'll be fine." Tatsuki said before continuing her walk back to the others.

Orihime looks back to where Jaune and Cardin and the rest of CRDL were and notices a jar. She jogs to the item and notices its contents. "Oh, it's the missing rapier wasps." She identified. She picks up the concealed jar. "Don't worry little fellas. You'll be home soon." She hears the low growl of an Ursa Major. She holds the jar close to her chest and looks at the direction Jaune was taken to. A part of her wants to go and help, but another told her that he would be fine. Taking the latter part, she smiles and skips away, happy to know that things are going to be better now.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hmmm…Now, this is a particular turn." Ozpin said. He is seating at his desk in his office. At his rightside stood Sgt. Rangers, Dr. Oobleck, and Prof. Goodwitch and to his left are Prof. Port, Prof. O'Hare, and Prof. Peach. Seating in a chair in front of Ozpin's desk is a guilty looking Jaune Arc. "Jaune, can you tell us how you got into Beacon?"

Jaune takes in a breath. "I got a forged transcript from some guy."

"And what does this person look like?" Ozpin asked. He had the faintest of smiles.

"Um, I think he wore a big green coat, a green and white striped hat, and some weird looking sandals." To his surprise, Ozpin smiled. Glynda though groaned.

"Why am I not surprised…" She muttered.

"I-I am sorry for deceiving you, sir. To all of you." Jaune apologized. "I was so desperate to prove my worth that I failed to see what my actions could cause. My mentor even warned me and I didn't listen to her, or my teammates. I won't complain and I won't be mad at anyone but myself if I get expelled."

"Jaune, you have made some mistakes, but you were able to have the courage to face those mistakes by confiding to us and telling the truth. Not only that, you do possess a natural gift to lead your teammates into battle, using their and your own strengths and weaknesses to progress. We've come together and believe that expulsion would only rob us of such raw potential, waiting to be harnessed." Jaune stares at his teachers in disbelief. "Still, you need to be punished in some way." Ozpin said. He leans back in his chair. He motions to Peach. "Mellea, since he stole from your greenhouse, what do you propose?"

The science professor crossed her arms as she pondered. She settled on one idea. "He will assist me in greenhouse maintenance for the remainder of this semester and over the summer, which includes weeding the plants, checking the ventilation system, wiring, plumbing, safety equipment, concrete deterioration, misting equipment, drippers, fertigation systems, and much more. And, you'll help inspect the gladius vespula hives for anything harmful. All five of them. Is that acceptable, Prof. Ozpin?"

"Yes, I believe so. And what about you, Jaune?" He asked his student.

"Y-Yes, sir! I'll do it!" Jaune accepted.

"Good. You may leave now. I'm sure you have a lot to tell your team." Ozpin said.

"Thank you." Jaune said to them genuinely. He heads to the elevator and entered. When the doors close, he lets out a breath that ne didn't know he was holding and his legs suddenly felt like jelly would of collapsed if he wasn't holding on to the railing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jaune returned to the dorms and is surprised to see his team waiting for him outside the entrance, seating on the stairs. "Guys?"

"I…just told Ren and Nora the truth," Pyrrha revealed. "I…I'm sorry."

Jaune shakes his head. "No. It's my fault. I should have told you guys from the very beginning and I should have said something sooner. If anything, I completely understand if you guys want to kick me out. I would have only myself to blame."

Ren was the first to speak up. "A man once said 'the fool learns from experience, the wise learns from history'."

"Ren," Jaune said. "I'm sorry for what happened at the library. I didn't know team CRDL was there and I should have ended it all there, but I didn't. I was too much of a coward." He turns to Pyrrha. "I have betrayed your trust and faith. I'll understand if you guys can't forgive me." He hung his head in shame. He waited for any sort of reaction. Then, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looks up to see Pyrrha, smiling softly.

"At least we have our leader back." She said. Jaune couldn't believe his ears. He looks over to Ren and Nora, they were smiling at him too. After everything that happened, his team still wants him to be their leader. He could almost feel tears welling up in his eyes. He doesn't deserve them.

Nora suddenly turned serious. "Pull crap like that again and I will break your legs." The other three stare at her. Jaune eventually chuckled sheepishly.

"Fair enough."

Their moment was interrupted when they heard slow clapping. They turn to see Tatsuki leaning on the doorframe of the entrance. "That was quite the show." She commented, crossing her arms. She has a look that said 'prove it'.

Jaune takes a deep breath before he makes his way up the stairs to his mentor. Tatsuki pushes herself off the doorframe, her arms still crosses and expression the same. Despite towering over her by one foot, Jaune is still intimidated by the upperclassman. "Tatsuki," Jaune started, "What I did was stupid." Tatsuki raises a brow. "I thought I could handle it on my own and I thought I had some macho bravado to prove. But, I now know that I was wrong and I will show that I can do this."

"How?" Tatsuki asked the piercing question.

"I…"

"I will help him." Pyrrha said, appearing at Jaune's side. He looked her with shock. "He and I can train together, since us both can use swords and shields. I'm sorry, Tatsuki, but I don't anyone in your team has that experience."

"That's true." Tatsuki said. And it was. No one in her team specialized in swordsmanship. She looks at Jaune. "You're still gonna spare with me though, to see if you have improved from Pyrrha's help. Keep in mind, if you don't progress, I'll have no choice but to send you home. Understand?"

Jaune nodded. "I do."

Tatsuki grinned. "Good to hear. Have a good day." She leaves to return to her own dorms. She then stopped. "By the way, don't worry about team CRDL." Team JNPR was confused.

"Why?" Ren asked.

"Don't worry about it." Tatsuki smirked. She doesn't need to them that she 'assisted' Coco 'training' CRDL.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Night has fallen as Ichigo sat alone on a rock somewhere in the Emerald Forest, his head in his hands as a splitting headache becomes more painful. Creatures of Grimm have appeared, sensing Ichigo's distress, but cowered away when they felt Ichigo's released Aura Pressure. However, it there was something…different about it. It's more…like the Grimm themselves.

No longer able to keep it in, Ichigo lets out a crazed laugh. His eyes glow a sickening yellow shade at the sky.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Uryuu's typing on his Scrollbook stopped as an eerie feeling came over him. His slate blue eyes glances towards the night sky through his dorm window. A new moon was out tonight.

And that's the end of the Jaune Arc…Arc of this volume. Wahoo! Personally, I have nothing against Jaune. He's an imperfect goofball, that's all there is to it. I will say that if he did throw that jar at Pyrrha, I would have lost respect for him.

Next Chapter: The Calm (July 13 or 14)

After team IURR leaves for a mission, Coco tells RWBY of her and her team's first encounter with the 3rd year team.
