Seth: So it's time to see what the hell Yang went through to get her arm broken.
Ashbel: Yep. It's time to see what the last color of the famous team went through to get her right arm, which also happened to be the arm that was cut off in Volume 3, I didn't realize that, broken.
Seth: Didn't know Chad had it in him.
Ashbel: Well, you'd be surprised. For now, cue disclaimer!

EP 30: Training Yellow-Part 1
(Cue Rolling Star by YUI)
(Yume ni made mita you na sekai de, Arasoi mo naku heiwa kurashitai) The song starts off as we pass over the town of Vale. Then, going up, we see Seth preparing to unleash Bankai before an explosion happened in front of him as the title appeared within the dust cloud.
(Mou gaman bakka shiterannai yo) We see Seth with Teams RWBY and JNPR, all having lunch in the cafeteria
(Iitai koto wa iwanakucha) Jaune had just come over with his lunch, joining in on whatever the guys were talking about.
(Kaerimichi yuugure no basutei) Then, we go into Seth's Inner World where all the weapon spirits were having a good time except Shiro who was chained up.
(Ochikonda senaka ni Bye Bye Bye) We get a close up on the chained Shiro until he raises his head to show off his sadistic smile.
(Kimi no Fighting Pose misenakya oh oh) We then see Ozpin, Kisuke, and Glynda in Ozpin's Office with a black cat on his desk. Then, Ozpin looks out the window to see tons of ships down at the docks.
(Yume ni made mita you na sekai wa) Jump on the roof, Seth comes upon Grimmjow who smirks at him.
(Arasoi mo naku heiwa na nichijou) There's something in the distance we can't see, but whatever it is, RWBY was heading towards it.
(Demo genjitsu wa hibi to rabu de) JNPR all make it to somewhere as something over shadows them, prompting them prepare to draw their weapons.
(Tama ni kuyandari shiteru) There was a big explosion and the next thing we know, we're in Seth's Inner World.
(Sonna Rolling Days) Seth was there and was looking around until not too far from him was Shiro, now free. A fight takes place as both Seth and Shiro enter a dead lock with both of them holding a Zangetsu of their own. They both draw back and while Seth stabs forwards, Shiro smiles as his face was replaced with the Grimm Mask before Shiro slashes forward. Then, we see Seth dropping to his knees as his Zangetsu was embedded next to him, showing us a tiny reflection of Kuro.
(Kitto uso nante sou) Then, we see the charm Ruby gave to Seth long ago when he was fighting in that tournament.
(Imi wo motanai no) Then, the charm starts to burn away like paper as we see Ruby on her knees, crying.
(All my loving...) We then see Ruby and Seth at the docks.
(Sou ja nakya yatterannai) Ruby was crying for some reason but was then surprised when Seth suddenly kisses her on the lips.
(Yume ni made mita you na Sweet Love) We now see Seth on the roof of Beacon as the setting sun was in the background.
(Koibitotachi wa kakure ga wo sagasu no) We then see faint images of some faint battle where it ends with Shiro.
(Demo genjitsu wa aenai hi ga) The image starts to become as we see half of Shiro's face replaced with the Grimm Mask.
(Tsuzukinagara mo shinjiteru no Lonely Days) As if knowing Shiro was smiling at him, Seth opens his eyes and looks forward with determination.
(Oooooh yeah. Oh Tsumazuitatte Way to go) Slowly, Seth draws Zangetsu and transforms it into its Shikai form.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Then, in a burst of Aura, Seth transforms into his Bankai as he prepares a black Getsuga Tenshō.
(Doro doro ke Rolling Star) Then, with a roar, Seth sends the Getsuga Tenshō towards the shattered moon of Remnant as the song ends.
(Dorm Room)
"The Vytal Festival is months away and we need all the training we can get. Until then, let's do what we can." Ruby said.
And with that, they nodded to one another before they left the room. They all waved goodbye before going their separate ways. Ruby had made it specifically clear that they all need to grow stronger by themselves and now that Yang thought about it, Ruby was right.
Yang considered herself to be a pretty strong fighter. In fact, everyone in the team agreed that next to Seth, she was the second strongest fighter in the entire team and she was proud of that fact. Of course, she wasn't content with being number two at first. After the team had been formed back during the Initiation, Yang had challenged Seth for the title of number one on the team, and well, she lost. She was so focused on his sword that she was caught completely off guard that Seth could fight hand to hand. It was that reason why she had lost. Of course, she challenged him again, but lost again. After a while and she doesn't do this often, she gave up and was fine with Seth having the seat of number one.
Still, just because she was the second strongest doesn't mean she wasn't proud of it. It meant she was still just a bit stronger than everyone else in the team. Out of everyone in there, she had experience fighting more than just Grimm. She had experience fighting people. Out of everyone in the team, she had more experience fighting with people, although she wonders how many people Seth may have fought before he lost his memories.
Anyway, back to the main topic at hand. While true that Yang's had experience dealing with both Grimm and people, the enemies she and the team have faced so far can't exactly be called either. Fast, strong, skilled, she and the other girls were completely outmatched in every single one. Not to mention there was her recent loss against that ice cream girl she faced back on the train. Granted, she had been fighting Grimm all day and hadn't gotten any sleep that still doesn't change that she lost. She didn't even get a single hit in; the girl was just playing with her!
If there's anything Yang hates, it's losing a fight so easily. If she got a few punches in and still lost, she would have been fine, but that girl completely played with her and she promises that the next time they meet, she was gonna punch the girl's face in. But as the way she is right now, there was no chance of winning, let alone winning against those overpowered enemies that only Seth could face.
But Seth wasn't the only one who could handle those overpowered. No, there were others here. Others that could both help and give him trouble in a battle, even if he's going all out. Granted, they've never actually fought before, but it doesn't take a genius to know that they were pretty over powered themselves. And as of right now, one of them was her target in order to help her get stronger.
If you people haven't already guessed, the one she was thinking about was Sado Yasatora or 'Chad' as Seth likes to call him. Everything he did was still fresh in her mind. His strength, his power, they were all in her mind.
Not to mention his bo-
*SLAP!*
Students jumped in surprise when Yang suddenly slapped herself…hard.
'Focus, Yang, focus! Now is not the time to be thinking about that!' Yang thought as she continued her search for the bid man of Team TASK.
Now, where were we? Oh right, Sado's bo-
*SLAP-SLAP-SLAP!*
'Goddamn it! Stop thinking about it!'
Okay, I'll stop. Back to the matter at hand. Yang has met a lot of boys and dated a lot of boys, but Sado was a different matter all together. He was quiet, surprisingly gentle if how he handled small animals and dolls were anything, and freakishly tall! Not to mention his strength and powers again. She could still remember how Sado had thrown her hard enough t reach that Nevermore back during the Breach. As a fist fighter, she admired strength and Sado's was the greatest she had seen so far. Honestly, she was jealous of his strength which led her to challenge him, resulting in her crazy and quick loss. She was still jealous even today, but she still respected him. She wishes that one, day she could fight Sado for real, nothing held back. And maybe that day will come sooner than she first thought.
"Tatsuki! Sado!" Yang called out to the two who were talking, waving at them in hopes of getting their attention which she got.
"Hm? Oh, Yang." Tatsuki waved back. When Yang finally got to them, Tatsuki and Yang shared a quick fist bump. After their little sparring session, they had formed somewhat of a rivalry between each other. "What's up? Need something?"
"Kind of." Yang stroked her hair. She always did this when she was nervous. "I was hoping I could talk to Chad for a bit."
"Chad?" Tatsuki titled her head in confusion. "What do you need him for?"
"I just wanted to talk to him about something…in private."
"Private?" Tatsuki raised an eyebrow at this until a thought came to her and she smirked teasingly. "Oh~! I see now."
"What?" Yang asked, not liking that smirk on Tatsuki's face, She should know, she always has it when she's teasing Ruby and Seth.
Tatsuki glanced at Sado who was just confused at what was going on. She then leaned in towards Yang's ear and whispered, "You're gonna confess your feelings for Sado."
"WHAT!?" Every student nearby jumped in surprise as Tatsuki pulled back from Yang's sudden shout who was now red as a strawberry. "No! That is not the reason at all!"
"Hahaha! I'm just kidding!" Tatsuki laughed, wiping away a tear as she ignored Yang's fiery glare. "Anyway, I'll leave you two alone." And with that, Tatsuki left to leave the two alone.
As much as Yang wanted to punch Tatsuki right now, she had other important things to do. One of them being a certain giant next to her.
"So…" Yang said as she stroked her hair again. She was nervous before, but thanks to Tatsuki, she was even more nervous!
"Yes?" Sado said.
'God dammit, Yang! Why are you so nervous!?' Yang screamed in her mind. 'You've talked to all kinds of boys before. How is this any different!? Just freakin' ask him! And why does it dound like that I'm trying to ask him out on a date!?'
"Uh, Yang? Are you alright?" Sado asked the blond brawler who had gone silent.
"I'm fine!" Yang said in a fast tone before she coughed to clear her voice. "Anyway, are you free at the moment?"
"I've got nothing to do, so yeah." Sado said.
"That's great!" Yang smiled. "Because I need a favor from you, Chad."
"A favor?"
Yang nodded. "I was wondering if, it's not too much trouble, could you train me?"
"Train you?" Sado tilted his head on confusion.
"Yeah. I could really us the help." Yang said.
Sado looked at Yang for a moment before he walked away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Yang said, following after him.
"I can't train you, Yang. I don't know the first thing about training someone." Sado said.
"Come on, you must have some ideas." Yang said. "What about the training you got from your grandpa? Didn't you say you got training from him?"
At the mention of his training, Sado started shaking in fear, surprising Yang.
"Whoa! Uh, forget what I said!"
After a few minutes of shaking, Sado finally stopped and turned to Yang. "Why do you want me to train you? We're both students, so wouldn't the teachers be more helpful than me to help you?"
"The teachers here wouldn't be able to help." Yang said. "I'll be honest here, Chad. I only came to you because of how strong you are."
"How strong I am?"
Yang nodded before she continued. "Chad, during the Breach, Ruby realized something. With how powerful the enemies we've faced so far getting stronger by the second, we'll be nothing but a reliability to Seth who's the only can go toe to toe against these enemies. And I hate to admit it, but she's right. As we are right now, we're too weak. That's why we came up with the plan of getting training from people who could also go toe to toe with these guys and you just happen to be one of them."
"So what you're saying is that you want my help in training in hopes that you can be powerful enough to help Seth?" Sado summarized.
"Well, yeah, but I'll be honest here, Chad. That's not the only reason why I came to you for help." Yang said.
"Hm?" Now Sado was confused.
"To tell you the truth, I'm…jealous of you." Yang admitted.
"Jealous?"
"Yeah. How should I say this? The enemies I've faced so far have made me feel… inadequate in the department of strength." Now there's a word Yang doesn't use very often. "The enemies that have showed up for the past days have really pushed me and the others over the edge. Speed, strength, skill, everything about them overpowered us. I'm a girl that takes a lot of pride in some of the things I can do, an example being my fighting skills, and it just frustrates me how my most recent battles have turned out. If there's one thing I hate the most besides people messing with my hair, it's being saved. I'm a Huntress in training who's gonna go out and explore places no one has ever been to. I don't have time to be a damsel in distress nor do I want to be one. Not when there's still something I have to do."
Silence over took the both of them as a small wind blew. In Yang's mind, the face of a woman who looked exactly like except with black hair and red clothing came into her mind before she spoke up again.
"Chad, you're one of the strongest people I've come to know, and honestly, I envy all the strength and power that you have. That's why…" Suddenly, Yang dropped to her knees, punched the ground with both her hands and bowed her head. "I need your help."
Sado was honestly surprised. Sado had met some people like Yang before, albeit not as arrogant. He knew that her pride, her very character would never allow her to bow to anyone. Not unless it was someone they respected deeply.
Silence over took them once again as Sado contemplated to himself on what he should do. He could just walk away and let Yang deal with her problem alone, but he was like that at all. He would always be there to help a friend in need.
Coming to a decision, Sado went and suddenly grabbed Yang by her vest.
"Huh? Chad, what are you-!?" But before Yang could finish, she was suddenly picked up and was thrown towards the Emerald Forest. "WHAT THE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…" And then she was gone.
"Well, better go after her." Sado said until he realized something. "Why did she call me Chad?" As far as he knew, Seth was the only one to call him that.
(With Yang)
"What the hell's wrong with him!?" Yang shouted as she removed twigs and leaves from her hair and dusted herself off. The throw to the forest was so sudden to her that she didn't have time to think of a good landing strategy and had crashed into a few branches before crashing into a bush.
Seconds later, Sado seemingly appeared in front of her, surprising her.
"Whoa!" Yang jumped in surprise. But her surprise quickly changed into anger as she glared at the big man as her eyes turned red. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Why did you suddenly throw me like that!?"
"To avoid people getting caught in the crossfire." Yang was confused at what he meant until the air around Sado changed as his Brazo Derecha de Gigante manifested right in front of Yang's eyes. "Yang, if you wish to grow strong and help Seth, you must first understand the pain he goes through in battle. Yang, allow me to test your strength."
Yang gulped down saliva as she unfolded her gauntlets, clenching her right hand into a fist. At the same time, the prongs on Sado's arm opened up, letting a stream of Aura to flow out.
"Come at me, Yang, and hold nothing back." Sado said as he pulled back his arm for a punch. "Or else, I can't guarantee that you'll still have your arm with you."
Yang did not like that sound of that. Taking his advice, Yang used what little damage she had taken when she crashed into the forest and used it to strengthen her, powering her up as her eyes flashed red and her hair glowed as fire started sprouting from her. This will be the first time Yang has faced Sado with his 'special' arm on. She remembers what that thing can do and frankly, she knew that her Aura wasn't gonna protect her completely against that arm. Her Semblance was no good either. All it did was convert damage into her strength, not her defense. Plus, despite the nature of her Semblance, Yang could barely call herself a tank. She had her limits. Like most Huntsmen in training, they couldn't exactly fight on past the point of Aura exhaustion. Yang also couldn't train her body's endurance since her Aura was always there to protect her. So if she were to guess, her body's endurance was good, but not where she wanted it to be.
Nevertheless, Yang clenched her fist as tight as she could before she dashed forward, drawing her arm back before punching full force. Sado, however, only did one action followed by some words.
"El Directo."
*BOOM!*
The explosion was big, as if it came from a hydrogen bomb. Chunks and pieces of debris fell from the air as the dust cleared, revealing Sado standing over Yang who was holding a bleeding, broken arm.
"AHHHHHHH! FUCK!" Yang exclaimed loudly in pain. She hasn't been in this much pain since her arm was broken by that Yammy guy. Her right arm was bleeding all over, the forearm was twisted and facing the wrong direction and the remains of her Ember Celica were digging into her skin. In short, her arm was fucked up pretty badly.
"Are you alright?" Sado asked, worried as he thought he used to much power.
"I'm fine. This is nothing." Yang gritted though her teeth. She expected her arm to be in pain, but broken? She wasn't ready for that.
Despite how much pain the blond brawler was in, Sado spoke up. "This, Yang, is only a fraction of what people like Seth face. What people like me face. Don't forget it."
"Oh, don't worry, I won't." Yang said as she slowly got up. "But if this is just a fraction of what Seth faces when he fights, then I have to give the man much more credit. My arm hurts like hell right now."
"Here, let me help." Sado said as he suddenly picked up Yang bridal style.
"H-Hey! What are you doing!?" Yang said, blushing.
"Carrying you to the infirmary." Sado simply said.
Yang wanted to say something, but she was too embarrassed to think up of any words to say. She would die from embarrassment if someone saw her like this. She had a reputation, dammit!
"Yang." Yang snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Sado. "I don't mean to be rude, but the fact that your arm broke when we clashed shows how much more stronger I am than you. Until you can take one of my attacks without your arm getting broken, then I can't help you."
With those words, Sado suddenly flashed appearing on top of a tree before flashing again. Yang cried out in surprise as she held on for dear life. The speed they were going at was something way past the speed of what her sister can do so she was caught off guard when Sado sped up. Glancing down, she could have sworn that she saw some sort of green energy at Sado's feet before he flashed.
And before she knew it, they were already at the infirmary. Arriving, Sado knocked on the door and a few seconds later, the door opened.
"Yes? Can I help-Holy!" The doctor jumped in surprise when he saw Yang. "What happened?"
"An…accident?" Yang said.
The doctor either didn't care or was just that dumb, but he let the two inside as the doctor got to work on Yang's arm.
"Well, I gotta go, Yang. Come see me when you think you're ready." Sado said as he left though the door.
Yang nodded as she watched Sado leave when sudden he came back.
"By the way," Sado began. "Why did you call me Chad? Only Seth does that."
Yang make a choking sound when she realized that before he threw her, she had mostly been calling Sado by his nickname.
"Uh, it rubbed off on me from Seth?" Yang said. Sado seemed to buy the answer and left for real this time.
"So…" Yang turned to the doctor who asked, "Is he your boyfriend or something?"
Yang turned red, but not in the eyes this time. "What!? No! We're not like that-Ow!" Yang had been flailing her arms, until she winced in pain, a shock coming from her broken arm.
"Don't flail, you're gonna make it worse." The doctor said as he finished putting Yang's arm in a cast. "I'd say 2 week or 3 should be good until you can move your arm again. If you need anything, just ask."
Yang nodded as the doctor left to another room. Now alone, Yang drifted to her thoughts on today's events. It…could have been better.
'I certainly wasn't planning on this happening.' Yang thought as she looked at her casted arm. She couldn't remember the last time she broke her arm, probably when she was still a kid. Aura now days mostly prevented things like this.
'Still, what power.' Yang thought as she went back to the small clash between her and Sado. It wasn't even ten seconds in and she was already on the ground. Talk about pathetic. Then again, Sado wasn't your normal man. Tryly, that guy was in a league of his own alone with Uryu and Seth.
She then glanced back down at her arm. If this was just a fraction of what Seth faced when he fought those overpowered enemies, then she and the others have a long way to go in order to catch up to him.
'But we can do it.' Yang thought as she clenched her left fist. Yang Xiao Long was no quitter and nether was the rest of the team. But right now, she had other problems to attend to.
How in the world was she gonna overcome Sado's attack?
(Insert Shiawase no Arika by LOCAL CONNECT)
(Instrumental)The song starts as the night sky was illuminated by the shattered moon of Remnant as shooting starts were falling down.
(Massugu ni aruitekita)We see Seth outside walking while gazing at the night sky.
(Bukiyou na kono kokoro)The sun then starts to rise as we now see Seth walking along a beach.
(Itsuwarinai sono me ni utsuru)Seth continues to walk along the beach, gazing out over the horizon before notices something from the corner of his eyes and turns.
(Atatakai hikari)Squinting his eyes, we see in the distant Seth's team, Team RWBY
(Afureru kibouno nakade ima bokura)All of Team RWBY wave towards Seth and gestures for him to come over.
(Doredake no ai ni deaeru no darou)We then focus on Ruby who was smiling brightly as Scarlet's Heart Jewel shined brightly in the sun.
(Onaji toki wo ima ikiteru)Seth blinks dumbly before he slowly makes his way towards them.
(Aisuru koto no yorokobi ni furete)When Seth finally makes it to his team, Ruby runs up to him and smiles. Soon after, Seth smiles back just before the scene shifts to show the good luck charm Ruby had given to Seth laying in the sand next to a wooden badge that had a skull in the center.
Ashbel: And done!
Seth: Already? That was…kind of short.
Ashbel: Well I made Yang to the be the first one who ended up in the infirmary so unfortunately for her, her part was the shortest, much to my annoyance. But I did leave her with things to think upon. As she is right now, she can never hope to withstand one of Sado's attacks so she's gonna come up with a plan on how to do that.
Seth: But now that we're done seeing what Ruby and the others are doing, it's time to see what the hell I've been up to, right?
Ashbel: That's right. It's time to get back to the main star of this story. How is Seth doing at Las Noches? You'll just have to wait and see people. Until then, this has been Ashbel Longhart here, signing out. Till next time/chapter.
