[The Vault, Drago's P.O.V]

Now, I have heard some crazy questions before during my life and adventures across the multiverse. One from a one eyed dorito from Gravity Falls, a mismatch creature from that infernal colorful pony land, and that stupid red and black mercenary from Marvel. But this, this was just plain out stupid and ridiculous!

"What!?" I shouted in confusion and anger, the headmaster flinching slightly at my tone, which to me was a first. "What kind of a fucking question is that!? 'What's your favorite fairy tale?' Who asks that!?" The two skeleton brothers next to me were just giving me slightly wide eyed looks, but I really didn't care about that. "What the fuck does that have to do with that dying girl and that energy we've been feeling!?" Seriously, if I didn't have that rule about killing humans unless I have to, I would've ripped this old fools arm off! I wanted answers, and I wanted them now.

"Dragonheart, calm that anger down or we will have another incident in our hands that will be something you will regret." he scolded at me. Alright….breath in, breath out, think of Ruby, think of her. My anger had reduced, but I still wanted answers. The girl inside the chambers gave me a strange vibe, and I wanted, no, needed to know why. "I asked you this question, because you are seeing a fairy tale that is true." he said then pointed at the girl in the chamber. "That individual right there is the Fall maiden."

"Wait...you don't mean that fairy tale with those four maidens helping out the old man right?" Anthony asked wide eyed. I have read that tale myself actually, four girls met an old man who refused to leave his house, then they each did their own thing to improve his home, eventually he leaves his home and grants them each magnificent powers. I myself believe a few legends, since I could consider myself one, but I never thought the maidens were real. Apparently, I was wrong about them being just a story. There was one thing I had to ask though, one of many I had.

"Why is she like this, what happened to her?"

Ozpin turned to look at her as he sighed. "She was attacked, and for the first time in history, half of her maiden powers were taken from her." Half of her power? Why would anyone take only half? From the stories I read, the Maiden's power is one of the most powerful things in Remnant. So why only half? "and to take away confusion, one of our huntsmen stopped the attack before more of her power was taken." OK that answered that question.

"Then why is she here?"

"...We are gonna need a new fall maiden soon. The only way it transfers if it is the first person that comes to mind. Unless it's a male or and older woman, causing the power to choose at random." he the looked at me. "Tell me this, if someone were to attack you and put you in a comatose state, who would you be thinking of?" That was something I had some trouble thinking of.

"...My family, to be specific, my kids." I answered after taking time to think.

"Alright...say you didn't have any kids, who would you think of?"

Hmm..if I were to be attacked and put into a coma...had no kids...and if my power were to only pick a female by who I remembered last...oh no.

"My...attacker?" I guessed with a worried tone.

"Precisely, it's usually the first thing someone would think about after getting viciously attacked and being put in this condition." he walked over to look at the girl in the pod. "This pod made by Atlas is what is currently keeping her alive." OK, this is a bit to take in, at least the two skeletons understand this. Rodriguez was too busy staring at the young girl in the pod, while Anthony listened intently. Anthony looked away for a moment then looked back at Ozpin.

"Why wasn't this told to us before?" he asked, sounding a bit disheartened that Ozpin would keep a secret. I would too in all honesty if I were a teacher here.

"We wanted to tell you, but didn't know how to." Ozpin answered with a shake of his head. "You two we were gonna tell." He then turned to me with a small glare. "We didn't intend to tell him." I guess I can understand. If a student knew about this, they would tell others and create a panic. It's a good thing I'm no ordinary student, or person on that matter.

"...I may not be a professor, Ozpin, but I have kept many secrets before. You and the other professors kept my secret about the massacres, so I can keep this a secret." I said with my arms crossed.

"...You make a fair point." Ozpin sighed as he looked at all three of us. "Try not to cause a scene...last we need is an all out panic in Vale.

I think my massacres caused enough panic from the past months, so yeah I can understand. I nodded with a roll of my eyes, taking a small glance at the Fall Maiden. I really wish I didn't talk about my massacres so casually. At first I didn't care what anyone thought of them if they did know, but ever since I gained my first friend in this world, Cinder, and my mate Ruby Rose...I don't know. I honestly don't know what would happen.

"I know this is a lot to take in. But please, try to be discreet on this matter." The brothers nodded as I did as well. We started to walk out.

"And Professor Anthony." Ozpin called out as, said person stopped and looked over his shoulder, looking at Ozpin. "Good luck on your match." Huh, the hell was he talking about?

[A half hour later, Third P.O.V.]

"And we are back after that battle with the victorious Mercury and Emerald from Haven against Coco and Yatsuhashi from Beacon and boy was it a match!"Port said joyful to the audience at home and in the coliseum.

"Indeed! Though it was a loss for Beacon, we as huntsmen and huntresses do not back down from a fight!" Oobleck added. "Speaking of which a professor of Shade Academy has accepted to fight one of our most beloved Professors!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen, there will be a match between two professors as an exhibition match! Two Huntsmen will show you what a real fight is!" Port said as the crowd both applaud and gave curious and excited looks. Team RWBY and JNPR were in their usual spot when they heard this news. Drako, Drago, and Topaz were just coming to sit down when they hear this as well. Cinder was sitting laid back to the left of Ruby as she just watched with a smirk. Though she wasn't expecting an exhibition match, nor did she had time to mess around with it, she thought since it was just a match, she and her team will take a little break from the master plan they have been dwelling in. Drago was just interested in the fight, wanting to see what the teacher from Shade can bring into the field.

Ruby gave an excited squeal. "I can't wait to watch two actual huntsmen go at it! It's like I'm dreaming!"

"What's a nightmare to you then?" Drago asked somewhat sarcastically.

"Running out of cookie supplies."

"Of course."

"He said beloved Professor of Beacon! Professor Anthony is gonna fight!" Nora said excitedly.

"This will be a good learning experience watching a pro huntsman at work." Weiss said with a nod. Drago gave a roll of his eyes as he rested his head in his hand.

"And here is the professor of Shade! Professor Boulder, by far the most skilled and endurable fighter out there!" Port said, as the students from Shade cheered for their professor, who stood proud as he had shaggy black hair, large eyebrows, and a fighting glare as he was currently wearing no shirt, showing off his impressive muscles.

"And here is our own professor of Beacon, Professor Anthony Skullrox!" Oobleck announced as said person stepped into the arena, one of his hands on the handle as it rested on in his holster. The students from Beacon instantly clapped and cheered, Team RWBY and JNPR, mostly Ruby and Nora cheered the loudest. The Dragonheart Family had to cover their ears slightly, wincing from the loudness. Anthony stood across from Boulder as he had crossed arms and his fighting glare. He stood on the opposite side with his arms crossed as he analyzed his opponent.

"So...what do you do?" Anthony asked. Boulder said nothing as he kept his stoic glare on him, grunting a few seconds later. The gunslinger only furrowed his eyebrow as he pulled out his revolver, the stages on both sides started randomizing. The stage behind Boulder selected the desert landscape. The one behind Anthony selected the ice region. Boulder took glances at the two regions before he shrugged with a grunt and took a drunken fighting stance. Anthony only put a foot back and his revolver up near his head, ready to fight as well. They had a stare down as they waited for the announcers to give the word.

"Let the match…" Port started out as Anthony pulled his hat up, his eyes showing his determined fighting glare, Team RWBY and JNPR noticing it. Boulder tensed his muscles a bit with a deep grunt, Drago tilted his head at this. "...BEGIN!"

[Play Naruto- Beautiful Wild Green Beast]

Anthony started with the offensive, shooting at Boulder as said person started to run towards him with rather incredible speed. Boulder kept bobbing and weaving to dodge the bullets as he got closer. Anthony knew this wouldn't last long, so he flipped his gun to where he can use the handle as a weapon as he went into a fighting stance. Moments later, they started to clash with punches and kicks that was fast pace, Anthony occasionally shooting his gun at point blank while he punches. Both of them looked even in combat as neither of them gained an upper hand. For both team RWBY and JNPR, it was such an intense match as Anthony went for a sweep as Boulder jumped over him and tried to do a reverse roundhouse kick, which was blocked quickly by both of Anthony's forearms.

"It's like watching Anthony fight Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan." Drago commented quietly. He turned his head to see Ruby squeal excitedly as she had stars in her eyes. He rolled his eyes at her excitement before he put his attention back to the fight. Anthony blocked a downward punch and retaliated with a gunshot that was smacked away from Boulder's fist.

"These two have yet to deal an actual hit to each other." Ren said with crossed arms.

"A true fight of warriors should always be respected." Pyrrha said with a smile as Boulder went with a triple spin kick technique as Anthony blocked two and countered with a gunshot, to which Boulder used his hands and jumped away from it and landing a few inches in front of him, staring at him with his glare.

"What an outstanding match indeed!" Port said with great excitement in his voice. Anthony quickly reloads his revolver and and twirled it a little bit as he had his fingers holding onto his hat as he glared back at Boulder. Said person glared back with crossed arms as he stood back a few feet.

"Holy crap." Jaune said, leaning in and watching intently.

"I'm impressed." Yang said with a whistle.

"I must say, both professors show talent." Pyrrha declared. Boulder got back into a fighting stance and charged at Anthony, said person shooting at him, but dodged them. As he got close he jumped and kicked Anthonys gun out of his hand, and started to give off a few punches and kicks on him. Anthony jumped back as Boulder continued to charge.

Anthony dodged a punch, a reverse jab, and a reverse roundhouse kick. This gave enough time for Anthony to give a wide left and right hook to Boulders face, making him stumble back. The cowboy went for a double handled axe swing, but was caught and was flipped to the other side by Boulder, causing Anthony to slide back. Boulder attempts a ground pound but Anthony jumped back, retaliating with a knee to his face, followed by a dropkick, sending Boulder to the ground. Boulder flips back up up to his feet, Anthony rolled backwards as he got on his feet as well.

"Hmph, not bad." He finally spoke in a deep toned voice. "Pretty good."

"And he finally speaks." Drago and Anthony said at the same time, neither of them seemed to notice. Boulder only smirked as he got back into a fighting stance.

"You are a much more worthy opponent then I thought."

"What made you think I wasn't?" Anthony asked, then looked down and back at him. "Is it the outfit?" he joked.

"No, something in your eyes said otherwise, like you're not a normal person." Boulder said with a tiny chuckle behind his glare.

"Well…" Anthony started out, getting into a wide defensive stance. "Let's see how unnatural I am." he finished in a challenging tone. To his surprise, Boulder only chuckled before he stood up and spread his arms out.

"Since I've seen how strong you are, I'll let you see what my semblance is." He glared once again at him. "Hit me, as much as you can."

Anthony looked confused for a moment as he ran towards him and gave a good punch to his face.

"Direct hit!" Nora cheered. But soon got confused as Boulder just stood there, though it was indeed a hard punch, he only stood in place. "Huh? What's he doin'?" soon Anthony started to punch and kick Boulder, who would slide back from how powerful he is hitting him. Drago looked more closely at Boulder, then to Yang, back to Boulder.

"I think I know what's happening." He said with a slightly surprised look.

Yang furrows an eyebrow as she squint at Boulder getting pounded. She went wide eyed moments later.

"Oh crap…" she said, a small sense of worry. Anthony went for a punch as Boulder blocked it quickly and pushed him back. Anthony didn't stumble much, but retained balance as he went into a fighting stance. Boulder had a green aura highlighting around him as he chuckled a little.

"Ready to feel some pain?" He asked as one of his fist glowed yellow. Anthony went defensive, motioned him to come at him. He took this opportunity as he sprints at Anthony, and gives a quick left hook, Anthony blocking quickly as a shockwave echoed across the arena. Boulder was quite surprised that his opponent was still in the ring, but did grin knowing this was gonna be a good fight.

"His semblance is like Yang's." Drago said with crossed arms. "That's why he told Anthony to hit him, and why his strike had more power behind it."

"This might be difficult for him after all." Blake said while watching the fight with all of her attention.

"Yang is difficult to fight with her semblance, so fighting someone else with the same kind of semblance who is an expert is gonna be very difficult." Weiss said intelligently. Soon Boulder and Anthony exchanged hits and blocks as Boulder kept going without missing a beat. With each hit Boulder got, his strikes got stronger, along with his defense. Anthony felt like he was punching a metal mountain who hit back with the force of a full speed train. Boulder smirked as he hmphed, seeing a defense break as he pushed Anthony's hands away and pushed him making him lose balance. Following this attack was a sweep into an upwards kick sending Anthony into the air. He wasn't done until he jumped into the air himself and started to bicycle kick Anthony, causing them both to extend further. Anthony looked like he was in pain and and bit dazed as Boulder pulled back and did a devastating roundhouse kick, sending Anthony to the ground, causing a big explosion on impact as debris filled that part of the arena.

The audience winced from the impact, Teams JNPR and RWBY all had widen, worried looks in their faces. Same could be said for Drako and Topaz who had worried looks as well. Drago only stared at the arena with a small glare, though was a tiny bit worried, but not enough to care much. On the screen, Anthony was still in the fight, but his aura levels were getting close to the danger zone, while Boulder had about less than a half. As the debris faded, Anthony was seeing getting off the ground, having some difficulty keeping balance as he stumbles back a bit and forth. Soon he retained balance as he breathed heavily, wiping blood that was dripping from his mouth. Boulder landed a few feet across from him with crossed arms.

"One more hit, that's all I need." He said getting ready to charge at him. "I can't use to much force, or else I might break something." Anthony only panted for a moment, before standing up straight with his hat covering his eyes.

"What's...he doing?" Ruby asked, both confused and worried. Drago leaned in with a curious glare, wondering the same thing as Ruby. Moments later, Anthony slowly took off his trench coat and threw it to the side, showing his red vest and his decently sized muscles with a bit of complexion and slowly put a hand gripping his hat, still covering his eyes.

"Huh?" Weiss said confused.

"It's his way if saying he is gonna get serious now." Blake declared. Yang was a bit distracted by his muscles as Ren crocks an eyebrow at her. Drago and Cinder both watched intently now, Drago to see what he can learn from this for when he does fight him again, Cinder to see if he could be a problem for her plans. It was quiet for a moment until Anthony pulled his hat up, revealing his eyes. Boulder went wide eyed as he saw glowing yellow eyes that were showing a dark yellow highlight, The entire audience and the two teams noticing as well.

Teams RWBY and JNPR were staring wide eyed at this along with the audience who were trying to comprehend what was happening. Drako and Topaz were doing the same thing, Topaz was more of a starry eyed look of excitement. Drago was now wide eyed himself, wondering what in hell this was. Anthony said nothing as he started to walk towards Boulder, not showing any fear or hesitance as he glared.

"Why is he walking towards him? He is only one hit away!" Ruby exclaimed, hoping Anthony won't get hurt. Boulder only glared back as he charged at the walking cowboy and attempted a swift punch. He was surprised Anthony was still able to move to the side and dodged, causing Anthony to knee his stomach and push him back. Boulder was surprised that he actually felt that, even with his defenses reinforced by his semblance. As Boulder stumbled back, Anthony extended his arms slightly, his body starting to glow as it formed two aura deagles in his hands, now aiming them towards Boulder. Said person took a defensive stance shaking his head side to side to clear it.

"You can attack all you want, but I'll only get stronger with each hit."

"Perhaps…" Anthony started out, surprisingly sounding darker in his voice, making Boulder flinch a bit, even Drago slightly when he heard it with his heightened hearing. He slowly looked up revealing an evil like smirk. "...But that doesn't nullify the pain once I take you out." with that being said, he started to send a barrage of aura bullets from his deagles. Boulder crossed his arms to block the bullets, but winced when they hit him. He wasn't ready when Anthony was already in front of him, punching him right in the face with a straight left.

"Direct hit, again!" Nora cheered loudly again. As Boulder was stunned, Anthony twirled, both teams seeing his aura form a 12 gauge shotgun, blasting his opponent into the air. Cinder was now a bit shocked at this, knowing this professor could be a problem now. Drago was watching intently with narrowed eyes to analyze this new thing. Anthony then created a rocket launcher and used it to shoot at his feet, sending him into the air with Boulder, spinning as he axe handled him back to the ground, not giving him a chance as he created a grenade launcher and shot five rounds at Boulder. Each hit knocked Boulder back as he tried to either dodge or block each hit.

"He's gonna win!" Ruby cheered with excitement, her team only nodding along with JNPR while Nora somehow got a flag out with Anthony's picture on it. Cinder was secretly recording the match now, just in case. Anthony created a sniper rifle and used it as Asa momentum boost, much like how Ruby uses it, going down towards Boulder with quickness. Anthony spinned around a bit as he brought his leg down, hitting Boulder in the chest as he bounces off the ground. Quickly, Anthony slid underneath him as he created an SMG and unleashed a full round into Boulder. Said person landed back on the ground with a grunt, his aura levels now exactly the same as Anthony's.

"Unbelievable…" Pyrrha said in amazement.

"So awsome!" Ruby squealed like a schoolgirl. Drago didn't say anything as he kept analyzing the fight. Anthony stood up as he formed his dual deagles again. Boulder was panting heavily now, his semblance was working, but he did have a certain limit of how much he can take, and right now, he was at that limit. Anthony said nothing as he went crossed his arms with his deagles crossed as well.

"I believe it's time to finish this." Anthony stated. Boulder glared as he stomped his foot back, getting into a charging stance as Anthony got rid of his aura deagles and went straight to rushing at him. Moments later, Boulder charged as well bringing back a fist located near his stomach as Anthony pulled back a fist when he got closer. They both gave a battle cry as they collided punches, creating a massive shockwave around the arena, collecting debris as well, covering both fighters. The audience leaned in anticipation, wondering what was going to happen.

Teams RWBY and JNPR were on the edge of their seats along with Topaz who were watching intently. Drago had an arched eyebrow and crossed arms, wondering who won. It was silent for a moment, until Boulder flew across the arena into a mountain in the desert region. He looked forward with a dazed state then went wide eyed when he saw an aura rocket going right towards him, hitting him and exploding the rock. Anthony is seen with an aura rocket launcher before it disappeared and he closes his eyes, the aura fading away, causing him to stumble a bit. The buzzer is heard as Anthony looked at the screen, seeing that Boulder has hit the danger zone as Anthony was still in the yellow, but barely.

[End Song]

"And here is our winner! Professor Anthony Skulrox!" Port announced. The students of beacon cheered loudly in victory, Nora and Ruby being the loudest, second to Topaz. Drago blandly clapped his hands with a small glare, but was smirking a bit. Cinder stopped recording as she blended in with her clapping. She saw Anthony looking at the crowd, but the moment he looked at her, a suspicious glare is given to her. She felt a small shiver from her spine when her glared at her, it wasn't like the times Drago glared at her. When he glared at her it was mostly either of annoyance, or just his stoic look. When Anthony glared at her, she felt something she only felt from one person, she felt somewhat scared.

He stopped glaring as he grabbed his trench coat and draped it over his shoulder, walking over to Boulder who just sat up. He looks up to see Anthony offer a hand to him.

"You alright, mate?" Anthony asked, being kind to someone he just fought. Boulder nodded with a smirk before he took his hand and stood up with slight difficulty.

"Never better."

"Gotta say, you are one tough fighter. Must of been some good willpower." Boulder chuckled with a smirk as he shook his hand.

"I could say the same to you." Anthony smiled as he looked up to see Glynda and Rodriguez clapping and smiling back at him. As they conversed, Cinder got her scroll out again as she sended the recording to someone named "Adam" as she typed in "He will be a threat, once the time has come...you know what to do." she looked at the scroll for a moment before she got a text back.

"Understood." She smirked darkly but was able to hide it, from the crowd. She was lucky no one saw her text, if Drago saw this, there probably would've been blood if he met Adam for the third time. Drago stopped with the clapping before he pulled out a note pad and pen, flipping it open and marking some things down. Ruby took a glance at it and had a confused look. Written down were the names of the professors of Beacon. Ozpin at the top, and Port at the bottom. It was originally Ozpin, Glynda, Anthony, Rodriguez, Oobleck, then Port. But Anthony was now switched with Glynda, him being second to Ozpin now. She never really questioned Drago on anything, but…

"Um...what are you writing?" Ruby asked, Drago hearing her genuine curiousness in her voice.

"This is my ranking on the professors of Beacon from strongest, to weakest." Drago answered with a shrug. "It's something I could study for when I graduate and finally be able to challenge them." Pyrrha looked confused and slightly shocked from this info.

"You want to challenge them, as in fight them?" She asked in a shocked tone. Drago looked at her with an annoyed look and gave off a small annoyed growl.

"You got a problem with that?" He asked closing his note pad.

"It's foolish, stupid and crazy! I understand challenging other students, but challenging a professor won't get you anywhere."

"Yeah, because Port is not gonna take me anywhere." Drago growled with an eyeroll.

"It doesn't matter who it is, the point is that someone like Professor Glynda, Ozpin, even Anthony! You wouldn't have a chance."

"And I don't care!" Drago growled loudly now at her with clenched fists. "I'm a warrior to heart, warriors are supposed to take any kind of challenge, no matter how powerful the foe is!"

"And warriors with those standards of Bravado and Pride mostly get themselves killed!"

"Warriors don't fear death, warriors die fighting, to their last breath, we welcome it!" Drago was now glaring harshly at Pyrrha with his fangs almost bared. "Defeating the professors of Beacon will prove my skill, power, and strength, to prove how strong I am, how strong I have become through my training!"

"We don't live in some medieval fantasy to where warriors die because of their pride! It's more of a sin!"

"I don't give a fucking damn if it's a sin, I have already proven myself the strongest amongst the students after beating you, the Invincible Girl, so defeating the professors, and the Headmaster will prove how strong I am compared to the rest of the entire Academy!"

"Oh spare me with your ego!" Pyrrha then slammed her hands on the edge in irritation as she got up. "Yes, you have beaten me, but the difference being is that we are first year students still adapting to the environment. These professors have experienced it and had to deal with it all their life. You winning against any of them is moot." Drago stood up with a growl gripping the railings tightly, causing it to bend and almost break from his grip. Ruby looked over with worried eyes and flinched when the railing started to break from her boyfriend's grip.

"I have my own experience of training, I've been training ever since I was a kid!" Drago almost roared in Pyrrha's face. "Before I even joined Beacon I traveled and fought some of the strongest fighters in the multive-LAND!" Drago caught himself before he said anything else. "I've been training all that time, I can handle them you bitch!"

"You think I haven't trained at a young age either!? Why else do you think I've been top of my classes, top of fighting experience? Because I have done some hard training myself, that coming with experiences to know when things are too much to handle! You are no different!"

'You don't have the years of experience like I do. I'm like a old war veteran compared to you.' Drago thought with an annoyed tone. "Trust me Cunt, I've had more experience than you'll ever earn in your lifetime."

"Could've fooled me with your lack of ever using it." she spat back. Neither noticed, or probably wouldn't care once a few selective people from the audience started to watch this argument in fear. It panned down to Jaune standing up himself as he gave off a worried look, Ruby putting her hands over her mouth as they continued bickering at each other. The rest just gave off a worried look as more people started to witness an argument between a skilled amazon fighter against one of Beacons greatest fighters.
