(AN: Authors Notes )

(AN: Hey Guys How's it going Sapphire Orchid here. Here is the long awaited chapter Chapter 28: The Beacon Arrivals, hope you like it. Also I am doing a new thing- at the beginning of each chapter, I will be placing a- well a chapter beginning as I call them. They will have different back stories for different characters and things, basically filler and such so I won't have to explain what happened and all those things later in the story, alright, anyways here goes nothing.)


*** Year MM The Beginning of a War Sapphire POV ***

People Of Osaru!" A young teen's amplified voice carried through out the small oasis as he stepped on to a platform in the middle of Osaru. "I am Sapphire Orchid and I just need a few minutes of your time!"

"And what's a little brat like you going to talk about, cookie sales?" A man laughed with his friends as a crowd formed.

"No, no, no I am not here to talk about cookie sales. No, I am here to talk to you about a Coup de ta!"

"And what the hell is coo da tah, some kind of endangered animal?" The first man's friend yelled.

"Hm I said Coup de ta, it basically means to overthrow the government- A Revolution!" He exclaimed, eliciting shocked gasps from the crowd.

"Yes, yes, I know the prospect is shocking is it not? But let me tell you a story. Do any of you know what I saw yesterday, anyone want to take a guess? Hm anyone, no one, alright here let me tell you. Last week I saw a fourteen year old girl, my girlfriend Haku Momichi, shot dead murdered- two bullet holes in her stomach and one in her chest. Why you may ask? Well there was a little wolf Faunus that had tripped and fallen in the middle of the road. Jacob Haynon Sr., your leader, ordered his death, as he plotted with Topaz Lily, the ex leader of the 12 Gems organization, to murder the king and take over all of Vacuo and create a genocide of all Faunus!" Sapphire finished.

Cries of 'no' and 'what' and 'he wouldn't do that' rose up from the crowd as Sapphire looked down on the group.

"Some of you may not believe me, but I can tell you I am not lying. As we speak Faunus are being killed on the streets in some of the bigger cities, and what does Jacob say? They are all White Fang members! That's a lie, only about a fourth or fifth of the Faunus in this country are part of those terrorists! A friend of mine was doing business there when she was almost gunned down because of being a Faunus!" All of the Faunus in the crowd began to yell and scream for the man's head.

"What can we do about it, he has the whole government backing him!" one cat Faunus yelled.

Smirking Sapphire said, "Rise up, and show them what we are made of! Here's a little speech I've been working on, here goes. If we wish to be free; if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending; if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, everyone, we must fight! Raise up your arms and fight for those that you hold dear, your friends, your family, those you know in meeting and those you know not, those you hate and those you love. Put your differences aside and cling to the thing that you all want- freedom. This goes to both Faunus and Humans, why should those in power hold everything while we have nothing? Why should those that are considered normal kill those that are not? I'll say it again, rise up and fight! To show you all that we can make a difference I would ask that everyone look to the military base across town," he pointed towards the building in question, it was easy to spot as it was at the end of one of the main roads. "Everyone that agrees it me has joined my side, everyone that thought killing innocent people to show who the best race is, well just watch," as everyone turned to the building, it erupted in a massive explosion that decimated the structure.

"I am the Dragon leader of the newly reformed 12 Gems mercenary organization, I will put a stop to all those that do wrong, I will not kill the people that don't deserve it, and I will bring peace to this country, I thank you for your time!" He then shattered into Sapphire dust revealing himself to be just a clone, but the people didn't need to know that.

He looked around the battlefield bodies of his enemies and allies littered the ground. He struggled for breath but only succeeded in coughing up more blood. His chest heaved up and down, trying to get air to his destroyed lung as blood poured from the large wound in his chest. He gripped his left arm, hoping that it wouldn't fall off as there was a deep gashed that nearly took the limb from his body. He looked forward, glaring at his attacker defiantly, the monster who caused all this, Bahamut BloodWing.

"Sapphire, my son. It has been a long time since we have spoken face to face. Did you know you look just like your mother? Except for the hair, you have my hair style," his father said with a psychotic grin.

"Fuck you Bahamut," Sapphire spat out with malice. He covered his injured arm in sapphire to keep it together before swinging his right arm in an arc, sending blood through the air, "Bloody Sapphire Style: Crystal Rain," the blood that flew through the air solidified and floated for a second before homing in on Bahamut and shot down, piercing the man's skin, but that was all it did, no blood was spilt at all, "How?" He thought.

"Hahahahaha, did you honestly think that that would work child!?" Bahamut laughed as he walked forward and back handed Sapphire in the face.

Sapphire fell to the ground in pain, trying to force himself up but failing each time. Bahamut put his foot on his back and pushed down, laughing the whole time. He bent down to Sapphire's ear and yelled, "Wake up. Hey Saff wake up!"

Sapphire's eyes shot open wide, looking around in a panic. He saw Onyx Fall, his second in command standing over his bed with a raised eyebrow, "Saff you alright?" he asked.

(AN: The Bloody Sapphire style is not real it's just part of the dream.)

"Huh, oh um, yeah, yeah I'm ok, what time is it?"

With a questioning look, he pointed to Sapphire's desk where a digital clock sat, "It's 10:30, you have a clock beside your bed."

"Oh right," Sapphire said looking at the device, "I forgot."

"Yeah sure, come on you need to get dressed and eat man, we leave in an hour an a half. Don't want to be late for our first day of school now do we?" Onyx said as he walked out the door only to pause ,"By the way Saff, your silencing seals are kind of messed up, you woke most of us up about an hour ago."

"Damn it," Sapphire cursed as he stood up. He threw on his chain-mesh undershirt and combat cargo jeans before he tied up his knee high steel toed combat boots. He pulled on his trench coat after checking their seals to make sure there were no tears.

Sapphire cracked his neck as he sat down on his bed, trying to get his mind together after that nightmare. They had begun to become more frequent and were usually the same one over and over again, sometimes being interrupted by a dream of Garnett. He sighed, shaking his head, "I need some advice, maybe Squall or Storm can help." He closed his eyes as he lay on his bed and delved deep into his mind scape.

*** POV switch unknown POV ***

"Why's it so cold?"a little red haired girl said as she rubbed her arms. "I blame master."

"Flare!" A soft voice called, "Where are you!?"

"I'm over here Miss Squall!" Flare yelled back with a smile, Squall usually brought warmth with her, warmth meant not being cold, unlike storm who was always moody and stayed away from everyone, he was a big meany, her eight year old mind processed.

"There you are Flare, why are you shivering again?" Squall asked. Squall was a tall woman, at least to Flare's standards, of 5' 7" with long blue and white hair that was braided almost to the ground. She wore a dark blue dress with the right side stopping at just above the knee and slanted down to her ankle on her left side.

"It's so cold, why's it always so cold when the master wakes up?" Flare pouted. Flare had the appearance of an eight year old girl at 4' 5" with red hair that flowed down to the small of her back. She had bright blood red eyes that shined with curiosity and mischief.

"Why do you call him master? You don't see me or Storm calling him that," Squall said.

"Because." Was all she said.

"Yo Squall!" A voice said from behind the blue haired woman.

"Sapphire!" Flare shot forward and grabbed into the blue haired man's leg.

"Hello Sapphire, Flare has been calling you master again," Squall said.

"Really Flare, I thought I told you not to call me that anymore, we're friends," Sapphire said, sitting down in a chair that appeared.

"So Sapphire what is it that you need?" Squall asked.

"Well Squall, I need some advice, and since you're you, I thought you could help me with this," Sapphire said.

"You mean that since I have the same exact mind as your mother did then I would know what to say to you," Squall said.

"Yeah, basically," he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before his face turned serious, "But back to business, I want to know if what I'm doing is right, coming to Vale, leaving Vacuo and going to school again?"

"I think what you're doing is fine Sapphire, your mother would be so proud of you, I know I am. You've made tough choices and came out stronger because of them. You started a war and led the resistance against two different factions, each wanting you dead more then they wanted each other dead. You've loved list and gained a wonderful family that will stick by you no matter what. I think that you going to school again here in Vacuo where you won't be treated as a God at every corner is very good for you. You can make new friends and won't have teachers sabotaging you like they did in Konoha."

"So you think I should do it then, that this is were I should stay and get stronger to fight my father?"

"Yes, there is no doubt in my mind that you won't fail, maybe you'll even get a girlfriend that you can keep for more that a week," she said slyly.

"Hey in my defense they only saw the Dragon, not the real me, they just wanted the fame," Sapphire pointed out.

"That is true," Squall smiled.

"What are you guys talking about, stop using such big words so I can talk too," Flare pouted.

"Ha, sorry Flare but our conversation is over, I have to go now," he said standing up and setting Flare down on the ground much to her ire, "Beacon here I come!"

"I'm so board," Zircon whined.

"Quiet Wolfie," Obsidian said.

"Don't make fun of my name Gir," Zircon said with a smirk.

"Both of you shut up," Onyx growled.

"Make us, Fall!" They exclaimed at the same time.

"I got an idea, anyone want to play Russian roulette?" Damien asked with evil smirk.

"What's that?" Zircon was the first to ask.

"Well each of us take a revolver and put one bullet in it. Then we spin it around randomly so no one knows where it is and then we put it to our heads and shoot. Whoever gets the bullet wins," Damien said happily.

"I have a better idea, Zircon look over there, it's your girl friend," Obsidian said, pointing.

Zircon followed the finger and saw that Yang was talking with her little sister, "Shes not my girlfriend."

"Could of fooled me last week," Obsidian smirked.

Before anyone could retort, Sapphire spoke up, "Zircon just go, she's the only one that you know here anyways, besides it'll stop me from having to put you and Obsidian in the corner."

"Fine whatever," Zircon mumbled as he walked away towards the group.

"Hey Saff look who it is," Obsidian said, pointing, "It's our old red haired female friend."

"What's Pyrra doing here?" The blue haired man questioned when he saw the girl.

"I'm going to go talk to her," Obsidian said confidently.

"Wow you sound so confident, if I remember correctly the last three times you 'talked' to her, she said she didn't want to date you," Emerald said.

"Yeah she turned you down flat," Damien said.

"Screw you guys," Obsidian said.

"Hey now don't fight," Sapphire said.

"YOU!" A female voice exclaimed.

"Oh god no," Sapphire said as he turned and sure enough, it was her, Weiss Schnee glaring at him, "um what do you want?"

"You're on your own buddy," Obsidian said, heading towards Pyrra.

Sapphire looked towards Emerald but saw that the traitor had ditched him. Looking for Onyx he saw the man's head heading in the opposite direction, "traitors," he hissed under his breath.

"You," the White haired girl stomped up to him, "After you left I decided to do some research on you, you could have easily put up one of those blue walls of yours instead of shoving me into those deserts."

"Not my fault you have a sweet tooth," he shrugged.

"I can make your life hell in mere minutes you know that?" she glared.

"And I can end your life in mere seconds, alright," Sapphire glared back. He stepped forward, making the girl flinch and move back.

"Look I'm sorry alright? now I have business proposition for you alright?" She said with a wavering voice.

"Oh and what is it?" He asked, intrigued.

"Well, I know how the teams are made, and I want you to be apart of mine," she said, gaining confidence until-

"No."

"What do you mean no?"

"Exactly what I mean- no. I already have this selection rigged so that me and three of my members are together, though one will not be with us as I brought four with me, so the chances are you might have a 12 Gems member with you on your team."

"What but I wanted the best, I was even going to get Pyrra Nikos too and-" but Sapphire cut her off.

"See there's your problem. Pyrra Nikos is a natural born leader and will most likely be team leader unless Ozpin thinks that someone else needs to learn responsibility. You were raised to take orders from no one and that you would be a leader, sorry to burst you bubble, but you're not even close to being a leader, you just give orders. And me, well I am a leader through hard work, I gained the respect of my allies and my enemies because I strived to be the best and they could never prove me wrong," he finished, " I suggest you think on that."

"Tch, Faunus lover," she muttered, but the seeds were already planted.

He turned and walked away to stand beside a familiar figure who didn't even notice him.

"So Blake what are you doing here?" he said, startling the brunette cat Faunus.

"Sapphire," she said, jumping in shock.

"So what are you doing here, spy for the White Fang, sabotage from within, hm?" He said, looking down at her.

"What? No Sapphire I-I left them I swear I did," she said in panic.

"I'm just messing with you Kitty cat, I had someone follow you from the party. Did you honestly think that I would let a spy go in case they let out vulnerable information?" He said with an evil grin, scaring her.

"W-what are you going to do now?" she said, trying to back away only to run into the wall of the airship.

"You know you are very gullible, I don't think I've ever seen you this scared before, so what's happening?" He asked and saw her scared expression turn to one of relief.

"I got accepted into Beacon, did you?" She asked after a minute.

"Yep, along with four of my men," he said with a nod.

The two began to chat about random things; well it was more of Sapphire talking and Blake sometimes nodding or shaking her head, for the rest of the flight.

*** POV switch Zircon POV ***

"Hey Yang," Zircon said, heading towards the blonde. He saw the younger sister's eyes widen and back away slightly, but shook it off as Yang walked to meet him.

"Hey Wolfie," she said, giving him a hug.

"So what's your sister doing here? I thought she was too young for Beacon," the redhead said.

"Well something happened yesterday and she met professor Ozpin and just like that she is now a proud student of Beacon academy," Yang said with a large smile.

"So what's wrong with your sister?" He asked, "Why'd she back away from me like that is she afraid of me?"

Yang bit her lip before sighing, "Well, Ruby didn't know that you were a member of the 12 Gems and she really doesn't like you guys."

"What! Why? Is it because of what we do, because of the war?" He asked confused.

"No, it's just that her mother was killed by a 12 Gems member a few years ago and ever since she just hates you guys," Yang said.

"Summer was her mother right?" He asked, Remembering the woman in the White cloak from before he joined the Gems.

"Yeah, do you know what happened to her?" Yang asked, "Who killed her?"

"Um, you would have to ask Sapphire about that, he's mentioned her a few times before, apparently an old friend of his knew her and told him who killed her or something like that, but I can tell you that no one in the group now killed her because she died before Saff even came to the four kingdoms," Zircon said.

"Really?" Yang asked excited, she couldn't wait to tell Ruby, maybe then she could get an autograph from Sapphire and give it to her sister for her collection of famous Snipers.

"Yeah, her name came up when someone asked about his broadsword."

"I can't wait to tell her," Yang said with glee, "Maybe then I can get her to do stuff for me again."

"Oh what stuff?" Zircon asked.

"Girl stuff," was all she said.

"What kind of girl stuff?"

"I'm not saying anything,"she sang.

"Oh come on tell me," he said.

For the rest of the flight they continued to bicker about random things such as who was the best at football, who was the best model, singer and many other things.

*** POV switch Naruto POV ***

"Are we there yet?" Naruto whined.

He, Sasuke, and Mito had arrived first to the airship and had gone to the farthest part of the ship, unlike Sapphire's group who arrived close to last and stood at the entrance so the group's had not seen each other... yet.

"No Naruto we still have a little ways to go," Mito sighed. Her brother was really starting to annoy her.

"Hm, do you guys actually believe that stuff about Sapphire going to Beacon?" Sasuke asked, looking out the window with his Sharingan, memorizing the landscape.

"I don't know, I never really paid attention to newspapers since most exaggerate the truth or just plain lie," Mito said with a shrug.

"I don't like the newspaper either, but they could be true," Naruto said.

"If he is here what should we do?" Mito asked.

"Kick his ass," Naruto said instantly.

"No you don't! We can't attack him, if you would remember he is a hero in the eyes of an entire country just like you Naruto, and in Vale he is a registered citizen while we are just here because they allow it. If we attack then we could easily start a war," Sasuke said.

"I still think we could beat him, you two fight the others while I fight him, and this time he won't run away," Naruto said.

"He never ran away last time Naruto. It was more of a draw from what he told me," Mito said.

"It's because he brought in Leviathan and I was knocked out," Naruto grumbled.

"Oh right you were knocked out while he was still up and walking; doesn't that mean he won the fight," Sasuke said with a smirk.

"No it was a draw he had reinforcements, duck butt!" Naruto said, glaring at Sasuke.

"You had reinforcements too dumbass," Sasuke said, glaring back.

"His reinforcements beat mine up though," Naruto began digging his own grave.

"So his one reinforcement beat up Sinder and Fawkes, you're admitting his men were stronger blondie?" Sasuke said.

"Well at least I didn't run off to join a pedophile snake like you did, worm," Naruto said.

"Hey when did this become about me, whiskers!?" Sasuke began to yell.

The two shinobi began to bicker left and right as the two started to argue over who had the better summons before a stranger broke up their fight.

"Yeah well I think Pancakes would kick both your asses; and then I'll break your legs!" an orange haired girl yelled jumping in between the two. She wore pink, white, silver, and black armor with a heart shape above her chest.

"Um who are you?" they asked at the same time.

"I am the pancake queen now bow before me, mortals," the pancake queen laughed evilly.

"Nora... What are you doing?" a dark haired man with a pink stripe said as he walked over. He wore a predominantly green kimono with a black, white, and gold collar that then wrapped around the kimono.

"Ren!" she tackled the brunnette, "I was just about to tell my new friends about the dream I had last night about me being a warrior and saving the prince Rain from the evil pancake queen before becoming the queen myself and ruling the world with my magical maple syrup," the now known Nora said.

"Sorry about Nora she gets this way a lot, but let me introduce ourselves. I'm Lie Ren and this is Nora Valkyrie," Ren said.

"Helloooooo," Nora sung with a wave.

"Um hello," Mito waved back.

"Who are you?" Lie asked.

"Oh right sorry about that, my name is Mito Namikaze, this is my brother Naruto Namikaze/Orenji, and this is Sasuke Uchiha," Mito said, pointing to the people.

"Well it's nice to meet you, where did you go to school at I never saw any of you at Signal?" he asked.

"We're exchange students from a place called the Elemental Countries; we graduated when we were twelve," Sasuke said, not looking away from the window.

"Really that's cool I wish I could graduate at twelve then I would be the most awesomest person in the world, I would fight Grimm and they would underestimate me and they would be beaten," Nora said.

"We never actually fought Grimm before, where we come from there aren't any," Mito said.

"Wait, but Grimm are everywhere," Ren said, shocked.

"Yeah well in the Elemental Countries we don't have Grimm. Instead we have nine beast called the tailed beasts and we usually fight against our own, until the idiot," the Uchiha motioned to Naruto, "Came along and brought peace between the villages."

"Wow, I never thought that there was a place the Grimm couldn't reach," Ten said.

"Yeah, unlike the Hunters and Huntresses that you guys have, we have shinobi," Naruto said, "and that's what we are."

"Huh, you're like ninja?" Nora said.

"Yeah that's what a shinobi is," Mito looked at Nora with a confused expression.

"Tell me everything," She said, grabbing Sasuke and looking him in the eyes, big mistake as he was still using his Sharingan.

"Sleep," he said and she collapsed on top of him unconscious.

"What just happened?" Ren said as Sasuke laid Nora on the floor.

"Mmh, pancakes," Nora muttered.

"I have a bloodline that involves my eyes, if someone looks into them then I can do many things," Sasuke said.

"That. Was. Awesome." Nora yelled, jumping up.

"What the hell? You're suppose to be sleeping for an hour!" Sasuke said.

"Tell me about the ninja. Now!" Not a said, grabbing Sasuke again.

"She's a demon!" Sasuke yelled, trying to get her off as The others start laughing their assets off.

*** POV change Sapphire POV an hour later landing point ***

Sapphire stepped off the airship and looked around for Yang's sister. Zircon had asked that he talk to her about her mother so that she wouldn't hate the Gems as she did now. He walked around for a few minutes and saw that the girl was talking to the blonde haired teen that had gotten sick on the ship. Walking closer, he smirked as they were talking about being lost.

"You guys need some help!?" He called out.

The blonde turned to him with a grateful smile and said, "Yeah we're kind of lost."

"Alright walk with me I'll show you where we need to go," he said as they fell into step with them.

"I'm Jaune Arc," Jaune said, holding out his hand which he shook

"And I'm Ruby, you know you look familiar have we met?" Ruby asked, looking at him oddly.

"No, but I have met your sister, she and my friend Zircon asked me to talk to you. I'm Sapphire Orchid nice to meet you," he said and realization dawned on her face.

"Wait you're the leader of the 12 Gems," she said and backed up.

"Wait what's the 12 Gems?" Jaune asked.

"We're a group of mercenaries that I took over after kicking the old leader out. That's what I was asked to talk to Ruby about," Sapphire said.

"Whats there to talk about, the 12 Gems killed my mom, and you're the leader," Ruby said trying, and failing, to glare at at Sapphire, but it looked more like a pout.

"Look Ruby does the name Masamune mean anything to you?" He asked.

"Yeah, how'd you know his name? He was a friend of my mom," she asked.

"Because he was my sensei, he taught me a lot of things, such as smithing and some fighting techniques. But the thing is during the time that you mother was killed I was in the Elemental Countries, not even knowing that I would one day come to the four kingdoms. None of the 12 Gem members that are here now were even part of the organization when your mother was killed Ruby, you can ask anyone. I fought and defeated Topaz Lily so that I could take over and change the group. I kicked everyone out and brought in a few friends to help, Emerald Dragneel, Jade and Amber Tanaka, and Crystal Enderborn were the first. I started the Vacuo revolution and led the resistance and after a few weeks King Henry, then Prince Henry, joined and led beside me, but even then I was still pretty much the defacto leader. I would never kill an innocent unless there was no other way, I swear. Ruby I did not kill your mother, alright?" He looked into her eyes. "Wow I've never seen silver eyes like these," he thought.

"I, I still don't know, just let me think on it," she whispered quietly.

"Alright. Now if you continue down this path you'll come across a large statue of the Beacon founder. Take a right there and continue on you'll find the entrance, now I gotta go, see ya," he said with a wave as he jogged away.

"Wow, he was pretty cool," Jaune said.

"Yeah, I guess he was," Ruby said with a small smile.

(AN: Mwahahahahaha, the seeds have been planted for my diabolical plan.)

Sapphire cracked his neck as he headed towards the three powerful signatures that belonged to the three leaf shinobi. He was going to tell them what was going to happen.

"Hey ninja," he called out, walking up behind them. They turned and immediately reached for their weapons as they saw him, but he just put up his hands, "Wow calm down asshole I'm not here to kill you... yet. I'm here to tell you something. If any of you decide to attack me or my friends, then Konoha will go down alright and you'll be first. Without you guys, the leaf village can easily go down."

"Oh yeah and how do you think that'll happen Orchid?" Sasuke said, glaring at the blue haired teen.

"Simple I have an army of dragons one of which is almost three times stronger than me. Also lets do a scale of my men alright, on a scale of 1 to 20 I am a 20 Onyx my second in command is a 19.5 and Emerald is a 17, 19, and a 22 rolled into one. Levitathan is a 58, Starlight is a 19.5, BlueFang is a 16 and Starlight is my strongest summon besides Leviathan and BlueFang is my weakest. You Naruto, are a 21, Sasuke 19, and Mito 15. I have an army of over 200 dragons who reach about the size of a airship, do you really want to fight me?" Sapphire growled, "My friends are important to me so I suggest not messing with them. Mess with me alright, but they're off limits."

Before Naruto or Sasuke could say anything, Mito stepped up, "Alright Sapphire we'll stay out of your way."

"Wow, I guess you really have changed Mito. I remember you use to heat anything that even involved my name, well then I guess I'll just take my leave then," he turned and walked away.

*** POV change Naruto POV ***

"I have an army too," Naruto muttered.

"Yeah, but Dragons can't be hurt by fire that much right?" Sasuke said.

"Yeah I know, so anyone know where we're suppose to be going?" Naruto said.

"I have no idea," Mito said.

"I know where it is," a girl said from behind them.

"Huh?" Naruto said, turning around. He saw a black haired girl with feline like eyes and a bow on her head, "Where'd you come from, I never even sensed you?"

"I've been here the whole time, I saw Orchid and needed to ask him a question, but it seems that he had other things to do, how do you know him?" The girl asked.

"Oh well uh, Sapphire used to be from our village but then-" Naruto started, but the girl cut him off.

"Oh you're from Konoha, he told me about that place it seems worse than Vacuo, by the way my name is Blake," she said.

"What do you mean worse then Vacuo? Is it because of the war Sapphire started?" Mito asked.

"I wouldn't say that Orchid started the war, it was more of Jacob SR. And the Tanners that started it was mainly Jacob. He's the one that started to pass laws that hurt Faunus and it escalated from there. He made it legal for people to kill Faunus in the streets and not get punished. The White Fang then retaliated by killing humans. Sapphire came in when Jacob and Topaz killed Haku, Sapphire's girlfriend at the time. After that he raised an army I joined when I was sixteen as a spy since Sapphire saved and spared my life. I would watch who I badmouth Sapphire around, though most people will not take kindly to your words," Blake said.

"So you were a spy?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh!" Naruto suddenly shouted, "That's why you smell like a cat you spied on the White Fang."

Blake's eyes widened in shock before saying, "Please don't tell anyone!"

"We won't, right boys?" Mito stepped up, glaring at Naruto.

"Yeah don't worry I know how to keep a secret," Naruto said, to which Sasuke scoffed at.

"Thank you," she said.

"Alright now where's the auditorium?" Naruto asked.

*** POV switch Ozpin POV speech time ***

Ozpin cleared his throat into the microphone as he looked up on the assembled students. This year was definitely going to be interesting. "I'll... keep this brief," He began, "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills and when you have finished you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people," He looked towards the mercenaries, "Though some of you have already started that quest," He thought.

"But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy," he removed his gaze and looked around, "In need of purpose direction... You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far," He looked to the red haired girl that impressed him yesterday, "But it is up to you to take the first step."

He turned and walked away as Glynda took the stage, "You will gather in the ballroom tonight, tomorrow your initiation will begin, be ready... you are dismissed.

"This group of students will surely shine through the darkness of Grimm, I can attest to this, maybe, maybe there is hope for them. Maybe no one will die this time," he walked from the hall as the students began to talk.

*** POV switch Ruby POV night time ***

Ruby was happily writing a letter to her friends at Signal when Yang fell down beside her. "You know this is kind of like a a huge slumber party," Yang said, looking around.

"Yeah, but I don't think dad would approve of all the boys," Ruby said with a large blush.

"I know I do," Yang growled with a smirk, looking around until she came to Jaune who was wearing bunny slippers. She quickly moved on and saw Zircon shirtless in a pair of boxers, "Ooooh now that's nice, look Rubes it's Zircon."

"No Yang," Ruby said, her blush growing.

"Fine, oh by the way did you talk with Sapphire?" She asked.

"Yeah," was all the redhead said.

"So what happened, do you trust Zircon's friends yet?" Yang asked.

"I don't know Yang, what if Sapphire is lying?" Ruby asked.

"Speaking of Sapphire, look," Yang said, pointing and making the girl look up. Immediately she froze as she saw the teen he had no shirt on, showing off his many scars and six pack while wearing a pair of knee length shorts.

"U-um uh," she sputtered incoherently.

"Oh look at blonde over there," she said and pointed to Naruto who was showing off his muscles and had long orange pants.

Ruby ducked her head down, her whole face was red in embarrassment.

"Hey whatcha writing, a diary?" she teased, trying to look.

"No Yang I'm writing to the gang back at Signal," Ruby said, "I promised to tell them everything about Beacon and any new people I meet and how things are going."

"Oh that is so cuuuuttteee," Yang said but Ruby threw a pillow, beaning her in the face.

"Shut up," she said, "I didn't get to take my friends with me to school, its weird not knowing anyone here."

"What about Jaune, he's... nice there plus one friend that's a hundred percentage increase."

"Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend- back to zero," Ruby said, flipping over.

"There's no such thing as a negative friend, you just made one friend and one enemy," Yang said only to get beaned with a pillow again. "Look its only been one day you've got friends all around you, don't give up yet."

"Yeah I guess you're right," Ruby said, getting up and saw a familiar face, "Hey it's that girl."

"Where?" Yang said.

"The one in the bow, she helped me out earlier when I exploded," Ruby said.

"Well then let's go introduce ourselves," Yang said as she got up and dragged Ruby to wards the girl.

"No Yang, stop." Her plea could be heard.

The laughs of students could be heard through out the night as people had fun. A new year at Beacon had officially began no one noticing the bright orange eyes looking through a window.

"Huh, so this is where Sapphire ran to," a deep voice said.

"Yes it is, what are your orders master?" a woman with blood red hair said, kneeling in front of the man.

"Do not do anything yet, I have plans from this school," The man said, stepping into the light- revealing a man in his late twenties with shaggy orange hair, "I will kill you, Sapphire and take back my organization and all your friends will die right in front of you."

There was a flash of fire and the two were gone, leaving nothing but a black smudge in there wake.


(AN: Ooohhhhh foreshadowing for future events, I like it. So guys I hope you like this chapter, I really enjoyed making this chapter especially Ozpin's and Ruby's parts allowing me to get away from the regular. Anyways Prepare for the next chapter I don't have a title for it yet, but soon I will. It will be in two parts though that's what I know and will switch POV multiple times, only a few times with Sapphire's group a lot with Naruto's and a lot with Ruby's. Anyways that's all I have to say, so bye.

I'm Sapphire Orchid Signing off, see ya.
