"You're Disqualified." Ironwood said to Yang. Team RWBY were in their room, talking about what had transpired the previous night. Grant along with the rest of SONG and Team JNPR were listening in until Ruby, Weiss, and Blake walked out. Weiss, Blake, and Alex went to a café on the fairgrounds, Oliver and Naomi went to go see the next fight with Ruby, and JNPR got Pyrrha ready for the slight chance she might have to fight tonight.

"Why isn't Alex getting prepared?" Grant thought to himself. He soon dismissed his curiosities, there was someone who needed more attention. He walked into the dorm room after saying bye to everyone else to see yang sitting on her bed, her hands covering her face. "Hey." He said to her in a very soft tone.

She looked up at him, he could see the tears in her eyes. She immediately got up and hugged him tightly "I didn't mean to attack him" she cried into his shoulder.

He embraced and comforted her "I know, I believe you firecracker" he reassured her. He really did believe her but he saw her break his leg right before his eyes. "What's missing from this picture?" I didn't matter. He was his team's support and right now he needed to do his job for the woman he loved. "We'll get through this, Ok?" He looked into her teary eyes "I hate it when you cry, it's not for someone as smart, gorgeous, amazing as you to be sad." He said to her. This made her smile.

"I love you Grant" she said before she kissed him. "I can always rely on you to make me feel better." She said joyfully.

"Yang Xiao Long, I love you too." He replied. They sat on her bed and she explained her side of the story to him, she hadn't even explained everything to her team. She explained she saw Mercury try to attack her after she'd beaten him, and how she was confused by what he said.

"Why'd she attack me?" She said mimicking Mercury. "Why'd I attack him!?" She said with her semblance starting to show a bit in her eyes.

"Yang." Grant said trying to calm her down. She looked at him, her eyes turned from red back to their natural purple tint. "I love the way your eyes change color, it's really pretty." He exclaimed romantically. This made her smile.

There was a knock on the door, "Come in" Yang answered. The door opened and in walked Qrow, holding his trusty flask as always.

"Oh hey Qrow." Grant thought Qrow was a pretty cool guy. Despite his alcoholism, he seemed like a decent uncle. Though him and Yang look nothing alike, he actually looked more like Ruby than anyone else.

"What's going on Qrow?" Yang asked.

"Just wanted to see how you were holding up." He took a swig from his flask. "Grimm activity's been up since last night, something tells me people aren't taking what happened too well."

"Let's just hope the rest of the tournament goes well, maybe we can spend our summer vacation on patch? I really don't wanna go back to Vacuo." Grant said with almost some resentment towards his home kingdom.

Yang looked at her boyfriend with a curious gaze. "But what about your family? But what about your family, don't you miss them?" She asked.

Grant looked down and folded his hands together. "Not really, it's not like anything bad happened between us or anything. I've just been working with Alex and Enrathi for so long I just haven't thought about my parents for a long time. I've made my own way, away from my families business, you know how Weiss always gets crap from people about her father? Well I'd be on the same boat if I didn't leave my family when I did. I worked as SDC guard along with Alex." He pulled out his SDC badge "I worked mostly in the shadows. While Alex was on guard duty taking out threats to Weiss and Jacques, I was investing the men who tried to attack them. Interrogation, investigations." He paused "Torture. I've never told my parents about my "skills". I just did as I was told." He explained.

"I can't relate to that." Qrow said as he took another drink. "I'm sure you and Tai will get along just fine."

Yang looked at Grant who shed a single tear from his right eye. "Grant I'm sure th-" Suddenly the scroll clock on the window sill went off and projected a black chess piece with a red background. There was a woman's voice, explaining how Ironwood has too much control over his nation and not to trust Ozpin. After she finished speaking there was an alarm.

"ALERT INCOMING GRIMM ATTACK THREAT LEVEL NINE" the automatic alert system said.

"What the hell is going on?" Grant asked.

Qrow ran up to the window to see Griffons surrounding the colosseum "Something must've happened during the match. Find your teams, I'm gonna go see what Ozpin's plan is." He ordered.

The two ran out of the room, grabbing their weapons and heading to the fair grounds to find their friends. "No matter what we stick together, got it?" Grant Asked Yang. She nodded, and the. Kept running. I took Grant a minute to notice but Zwei, Yang and Ruby's Dog, was following them.

Grant and Yang ran all the way out to the courtyard to see hordes of Grimm and White fang attacking civilians and students. They both readied their weapons, "You Ready? Yang asked Grant.

"You know it." He responded. They engaged in perfect synchronicity. Yang launches herself towards the enemy and began to attack anyone she could up close and personal, while Grant stayed back and shot various elements at Grimm and White fang alike. Yang threw a few guys toward Grant and he killed the Grimm he received from her but incapacitated the Faunus. He then saw something creeping behind Yang slowly, he couldn't make out what it was. "Yang!" He yelled, She turned to look at him and then saw what he saw. Grant had an idea, he switched to earth dust and created a stalactite. "Spike him." He shouted. Yang jumped behind the the spike and shotgun blasted it into the heat of the thing in the shadows. They finally saw what it was, it was an Atlas military drone, but with a red glowing face. Follow it was an army of many more just like it.

Yang looked at Grant "Looks like this fights gonna "Drone" on for a while."
