Beacon Academy, Team SMBI's dorm

To say the mood of everyone was down would be a large understatement, not only because they lost but also because...well because they kind of needed the prize money, while Beacon would make sure to house them until the end of their Year and once they graduated could take any jobs to get paid, the time in between was by far more important for them, especially for their Gear.

Not only because they would need constant changes or repairs but because it costs.

Team SMBI had gained Favors by helping Eor in his shop but it wasn't entirely free, either they paid or helped, and because of that, they needed all the time they could get for their own training, which Todoroki and Iida insisted they focused on Midoriya first to make sure he could at least use more percentage of One for All ever since they knew, Bakugo didn't exactly disagree but he didn't agree either.

But well...there also came another problem, while Izuku was by no means weak, him having a paralyzed arm had really crippled him even when he was more dependant of his Legs now, which only made their planning even harder.

Long story short, they needed to plan their future fast.

''Ugh...why does it have to be so fucking hard...'' Bakugo groaned. The matches were to start soon and he wanted to watch them, even after his literal outburst of them having lost.

''Don't worry Katsuki, we just need to finish one more...task, and were done for the day...'' even Iida didn't really seem excited at the idea of having more days to think about that.

''Well, let us recap it all fast, either we somehow find a way to never modify our Weapons...which by the way sounds like absolute Madness since while Reparations in Beacon are cheap, but then we also need to consider how we are going to deal with Izuku's paralyzed right arm...'' Todoroki said, Weapons repair wasn't that important, but the modifications AND Izuku's right arm were trouble.

It wasn't voiced but they all knew Izuku's right arm would either need to be replaced, or there was a need for a new fighting Style until the therapy actually worked which...would take a fucking long time as Bakugo thought, too much time for them to actually focus on that, even Izuku seemed to agree to not focus on therapy with how much waste of time they would receive.

And of course, that's assuming it works.

''Well...on that note, I think we should go see the matches,'' Todoroki said, he was already up and close to the door, the others didn't really do anything else and just followed.

However on their way, Iida actually sees Coco who was just in the next corridor, ''Co-'' but he stops, while he should go and talk to her since they had actually witnessed their loss, he didn't, simply because he felt like his Friends, more specifically Team SMBI were more Important.

Of course, Todoroki was having none of it, ''Iida, go talk to her if only for a few minutes.''

''Yes I know I should but I feel like I-''

''Oh, Iida she's your Girlfriend! Just talk to her if only to comfort her for that loss.'' Todoroki cried, honestly in terms of relationships he wasn't the best guy to ask but Eor had...told him plenty to know how to handle it since he mistook him and Momo for a couple, as to how Eor actually knows about Momo?

Todoroki will take that information to the Grave.

''Yes but-''

Todoroki had wanted to tell him to just go, but he then realized why none of them had actually truly focused on their lives in Remnant, simply because they wanted to be back to their own world, where they belonged...

He knew they didn't belong here, but living here for so long and seeing it, even with the Grimm he wouldn't mind staying here...but of course, a part of him also wanted to leave, he was pretty certain all of them had the same line of thought, but then came another problem.

All for One

With him around, they were even less safe, the Grimm were dangerous but they could be fought back, All for One, on the other hand, could not be defeated or fought back, they had all witnessed him matching All Might on a 1v1 battle and nearly won while blind. Even with Izuku having One for All, they knew Izuku would never reach a 100% of its full power in time before All for One acted, it was simply hard to imagine All for One not acting to stop Izuku's growth.

Heck, him paralyzing his Right arm and pretty much trying to lower their trust in him made it obvious any means would be used to hurt Izuku, or at the very least put a hold on his progress, heck right now Izuku wasn't getting any stronger because of the paralysis since he needs to first be accustomed to using his left arm and then fight with it, which would take a significant amount of time.

Now that Todoroki thought about it, it felt like All for One was stalling for time, but if he was...why?

''Iida...'' Todoroki sighted, ''I am telling you not as Team SMBI's Leader but as a friend, please, you have literally dated her...just go and talk to her, if not now at least later.''

''Fine! Fine, I'll talk to her...later.''

''Well are you done with the lovebird's talk or is there more?'' Bakugo simply asked, which of course made Iida really want to crawl in a hole right now.

''Yes, let see who even is going to fight this time,'' Izuku said, already holding his Notebook...even with one arm...

Meanwhile, with Ozpin

To say things were going wrong might be considered an understatement, at least for Ozpin, since after all, he was talking to the Council again.

Normally it shouldn't be a problem, that is, if it wasn't for the topic at hand...

''The lack of...news is disturbing, to say the least Ozpin.'' one of the 5 in the screen said, and from them all, that person was the one Ozpin knew the least about.

''I'll have to agree, you promised us that your new Generation of students would be at the top, told us they would grow fast and yet, the arguably strongest Team of Beacon goes out in one mission and what happens when they come back from their 2 Months disappearance? Injured and one is even crippled.'' another one of them speaks, it's a man and he sounds young.

''And that is why we came to a decision.''

''You will be replaced by your position by the end of this year if not earlier, so Ozpin, I suggest you get ready.''

And that was not something he had actually thought, simply because he focused far too much on her for him to actually think about that, which proved to be a fatal mistake in the end.

''I...see,'' Ozpin said.

''We'll choose your Successor, by the way. You won't need to consume whatever time as a Headmaster you still have left.''

That was much worse than he had originally thought. If he was left to choose at the very least even if he was kicked out he had some connections still tied to the Academy but if he couldn't even have a say in this...things were Grimm indeed...

Amity Colosseum

In all honesty, Neo wasn't certain on what exactly happened during her time stuck here, after the Breach she didn't have any contact with Roman, she did plan to break out Roman, but that was an entirely other subjects.

That being All For One sitting right next to her in thankfully a completely illusionary look thanks to her Semblance or else people would without a doubt freak out because of his face.

But that wasn't really the matter, what was important was why he was even here to begin.

''As you may know, Torchwick is currently imprisoned in Ironwood's personal Airship.''

Neo knew, but that only made her wonder more as to why he's even bringing that up.

''Now, you likely are questioning why I am even telling you this, that is because I've made a Deal with Roman not so long ago.''

Now this made Neo's eyes go wide, not so long ago meant he talked to Torchwick without her Help which really was hard to do if true, and she knew All for One wasn't a liar, or at least, not the type of person to Lie for no reason.

''Now It wasn't exactly I but a certain associate, let me tell you how...''

The Previous Night, in Ironwoods Personal Airship

Roman Torchwick, arguably best Criminal from Vale, was currently stuck in a Cell far too little to actually be a normal cell for any Prisoners regardless of what they did. So him actually hearing someone very familiar talk was a surprise, and he recognized that voice.

''Kurogiri?''

''Greetings Torchwick, it seems you haven't been sent to Atlas yet.'' Roman would never admit it but he was so damn happy Kurogiri was here, he certainly didn't act like a criminal but at least people could trust him to actually do what asked.

''So wait, you're here to break me out?'' he sure as hell hoped so, they were partners as a manner of speaking, allies even.

''Yes...and no.''

''What?''

''We will free you but before that, we do need to make a deal, one that doesn't involve her.'' and now Torchwick got it, they were here to get him out but only on a single condition, but if what Kurogiri said is true, he might not even have to wonder about it.

''So? Cut to the chase, what is that deal?''

''In exchange for you helping us, more or less permanently, you will be freed and also have...''

Amity Colosseum, around 7 p.m.

Time passes fast and so did the battles, there were only the 1v1 battles left and that fight was something Bakugo wanted to see from the Front Seats.

Yang VS Mercury

A Brawler against a Kicker in the literal sense...well without counting all the Weapons and Semblances but those were just little details Bakugo right now didn't care.

What he did was how Blondie was going to fight, because Bakugo found that she got angry faster than he thought, and if she kept that going, even he could tell that this wouldn't end well one day...

Maybe he should have a talk with her?

Regardless, the entirety of Team SMBI was there watching the Match, Deku being the usual nerd he was about Quirks, now Semblances, was writing in his Notebook, even if everyone could tell he was having a hard time doing so. Icyhot was simply looking at the match even if they all knew he wanted to feel ready if he ever had to face someone like that, who knew when. Four Eyes actually seemed to be paying close attention to Mercury's fighting style, likely wanted to better his own style as well which actually is what Deku is currently writing in his Notebook which looks like a fucking mess.

Team RWBY and JNPR were also present, cheering for Yang who actually just landed the finishing blow, again with her Semblance.

Heck Mercury got closer to congratulate her which Bakugo found surprising but not really unwelcomed to him.

That was of course until Yang turned around and attacked Mercury's leg, who was without Aura, so that attack had to hurt far more than usual since Blondie's punches or attacks in general hurt like hell.

''The fuck?!'' Bakugo cried out loud, not believing it, surprises could be heard from everywhere as Team SMBI, JNPR and RWB couldn't believe Yang just attacked someone who was just going to congratulate her.

Security quickly took over and tried to ease the tension, which didn't work well, but at least nothing major happened.

''With what Yang did, they're going to be disqualified,'' Todoroki said in a manner of factly tone, there was absolutely no way she would get away with what she just did.

''But Yang would never do that!'' Ruby spoke up, ''It has to be some kind...something he said!'' but she still couldn't believe Yang just attacked Mercury like that.

''That is entirely assuming Mercury said something that could really provoke Yang into making her react as Violently as she did,'' Iida said, his hand on his chin as he kept thinking as to why Yang would even do something like that.

''Whatever she tried to do, she did that in front of a fuck ton of people, I doubt she's going out of this without some kind of consequences,'' Bakugo said as he kept glaring at where Yang previously was, but then he also notices Deku was oddly silent. ''You're not going to say anything Deku?''

This seemed to snap Deku out of whatever he was thinking, and for once it wasn't because of his mumblings, ''I...I'm not sure, we should take her defense because all of us know she wouldn't do that without some kind of reason...and I really do want to be on her side, but we don't even know why she did that so why don't we assume things later once we ask her?''

It seemed Weiss didn't exactly take that well, or at least she either understood something wrong or she wanted to add something but didn't do it in the end as they all more or less agreed.

Sadly, it wasn't until the Next day Team SMBI could even ask Questions.

The Next day, Friday evening

''Wait Kacchan!'' Izuku practically cried as Bakugo went to the door, Iida was on the way, however.

''Move it Four Eyes!'' Bakugo told him, ready to just shove him out of the way.

''I will not so long you won't calm down Bakugo,'' Iida said as he didn't budge, Todoroki had gone to ask RWBY personally what the hell happened last night.

''I said move it Four Eyes!'' Bakugo repeated, ready to use his Quirk if needed.

''I will not move Bakugo so long you're not calm.'' Iida's tone was much harsher this time because Bakugo really needed to be calm for once.

Bakugo was ready to just blast Iida, but then, he simply closed his eyes as he calmed down, which didn't entirely surprise Iida but he was still skeptical about it.

Just then, a knock came behind from where Iida stood, which Iida opened the door to see who it was, Todoroki came back.

''Ah Todoroki, good to know you're back, so?'' Iida didn't go in much more detail as he was still paying close attention to Bakugo.

''General Ironwood left not so long ago so we can talk to them, but I'm not sure how Yang or Team RWBY, in general, feel as they did get Disqualified.''

''Don't care, but at the very fucking least we gotta ask her why she did that!'' Bakugo was right in that regard.

''Well, then let's go now.'' and hope that Yang won't snap at Bakugo's outburst but Todoroki didn't voice that, surely Yang wouldn't right away snap like that, would she?

How Wrong he was in that deduction.

At first, it all went well, they tried to comfort her and even Bakugo tried to do that, but then Bakugo in his usual angry tone asked what they all wanted to know, why the hell she just attacked Mercury, Yang didn't take that too well since the Disqualification left a pretty sour taste for her, which explained why she took what Bakugo said in his tone far worse than usual.

Izuku and Ruby both tried to make them stop, to ease the already growing tension, it only got worse.

''Oh then please tell me why none of you have ever told us what the hell happened during those 2 Months! Maybe you ran away from a Grimm so terrifying you ran away!'' that actually made everyone Freeze, especially SMBI since that reminded them of pretty bad memories.

''O-Ok Yang, l-l-let's just calm down for a bit and-'' Yang didn't even let Izuku finish.

''Or maybe you could tell us why you're such a prick to begin with? Or maybe why Icyhot or Four Eyes over there both have scarred faces? Or maybe why Greenie has a crippled Arm!'' Yang realized too late what she just said.

She looked around and the sheer confusion or even shock in their eyes told her enough she went out of Line, heck her own teammates were looking wide-eyed at her for actually having said that. That may have come from a fit of anger at the moment and could be understandable but right there Bakugo was giving her the most murderous look he could ever muster, more so than usual as he grabbed her by the Collar.

''Listen here Yang! You have no fucking right to ask us that when we ourselves are also out of the Competition! And don't you ever fucking dare ask us what happened during those 2 months ever again, got that!?'' Bakugo cried it loud and clear as he released her Collar and he just stormed off, kicking the door open which left a dent.

Only Izuku and Iida looked at them once but not in the eyes as they left, Todoroki outright left without even acknowledging them and he closed the door without caring if he put too much or not enough force into it.

As they walked away, Izuku did try to ease the tension and the very much fuming Bakugo, ''Kacchan, Wait!'' but his only response, which wasn't the usual one he gave, made it clear he wanted to be alone.

''Leave me alone Deku.'' and he kept walking away.

''Izuku'','' Midoriya'' Todoroki and Iida said nearly the same time, which made them look at each other quickly, ''You can go back to the Dorm if you want, but I think we all need our time alone,'' Iida said and Izuku wanted to disagree but couldn't, even he couldn't believe Yang just up and said things they wished never to hear again and while it was understandable as to why exactly she snapped like that, it felt really uncalled for.

''Yeah, I'll...I'll stay in the dorm as you suggested...call me if you need me for anything.'' Izuku walked back to their dorm, Iida and Todoroki left in the same direction as Bakugo but quickly split apart. But not before Iida told them where he planned to go if they needed him for whatever reason.

Somewhere in Vale, same time during Yangs outburst

Cinder was waiting, as patient as ever for the ''package'' to arrive, the Plan was about to start soon and it needed to arrive now if they wanted everything to work well.

As if on cue, a Portal Formed as Kurogiri formed back from it, ''My apologies Cinder, but the Package is finally there.''

Cinder could only give a cold smirk, ''Then that means Beacon Academy has no chance of succeeding.''

''Yes, but Master suggested we still make sure there are no loose ends,'' Kurogiri said as the portal formed again and grew in size.

''Oh but we will make sure there are none, however, with what we've got, it's unlikely they will succeed.'' and she knew none of the Huntsmen could win with everything they had.

''Point taken, but for now, let me introduce you to our new Nomu's.'' The Portal stopped growing as figures could be seen walking out.

Cinder watched with interest as each of them got out of the Portal, in Total there were only 4, but something caught her attention.

''Why do 3 of them look so Unique?''

''That? Let me explain...''

Beacon Academy, right after Team SMBI split up

Todoroki walked away, still having a hard time believing Yang would simply lash out on them when they had tried to help, something that always seemed to be enough.

But it wasn't, was it?

Midoriya always seemed to know the words to use when it was needed, but even he didn't seem to know what to say in this kind of situation, honestly, none of them truly knew.

They had befriended them, yes, but outside of that? Nothing, they honestly didn't know much about any of them since they didn't want to make a slip up by accident.

Sure they did play games and even helped each other a few times but that was never going to be enough to actually gain trust if you didn't even know them, much less if you can't even tell them what should be important.

Like what happened during their 2 Month disappearance.

And yet none of them told them anything, simply out of fear, and to be honest, Trauma. The scar on his Face had never truly bothered him ever since he was at U.A. but that seriously felt like a low blow since that still reminded him of the bad parts of his life.

Just as he kept on going, he was so in his thoughts he didn't notice someone was in his way, which he bumped said person.

''Sorry! I didn't see yo-'' but the voice immediately froze, he looked up and saw it was Pyrrha.

''No, it's my fault, I wasn't paying attention and that happens,'' Todoroki said as he stood up, and then he got a closer look at Pyrrha.

She looked...stressed? Tired even so she might have not slept well if at all.

''Is everything alright?'' Todoroki asks as Pyrrha didn't seem to respond.

Whatever Pyrrha was concentrated on, she snapped out of it, ''Oh um...nothing at all, absolutely nothing...''

''Are you sure?'' Todoroki asked, very skeptical about that being true.

''Yes, absolutely sure, now if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?''

Todoroki nearly flinched at the reminder of Yang pretty much snapping at them, which was clear on his face and really only worried Pyrrha.

''I need some time alone.''

Pyrrha didn't seem to keep pressing for answers as she just walked by, saying a quick goodbye, but Todoroki did notice she looked far too worried about something...

What was wrong?

Amity Colosseum, around 6 p.m. or so

''Are the last products being filled in the Cargo?'' a man, no, a Faunus said, wearing a white Mask as all the other White Fang members do.

''Yes, we can commence the attack as soon as the order is given.'' a White fang soldier said, simply reporting what he was told.

''Good, you are dismissed.'' and the White Fang soldier left.

Adam Taurus was a well respected Faunus from the White Fang, Powerfull and Cunning.

And yet, he allowed a single person to escape his grasp.

It was nearly time for the plan to be executed, for the chaos to begin and spread, and of course, nearly time to find his beloved and bring her back to where she belongs.

She ran away thinking that it would all go well without any consequences? How wrong was she if she thought so.

Once a member, always a White Fang.

And she would learn soon enough of the consequences of her actions...

If she didn't willingly return?

He would end her were she stood and without hesitation. Duty would surpass love.

Right then another White Fang member came in but this one was by far more special, a Female Faunus that was his new Right-hand man.

''Taurus, I have been informed that something is going on here?'' The Female Faunus said, her name being currently of no Importance, she was only known as Unbroken Chains.

''Yes.''

''If that is true, then when is it?'' she asked, but it seemed like she was skeptical if that was the truth or not, he had however told Kurogiri, that Purple Mist to tell her of the current events.

''Tonight.''

''So that mist guy really was telling the truth after all...'' it seemed like now she believed him fully, good, if she couldn't trust him enough then there truly was a problem in their Ranks, he was about to tell more.

But then he ''felt'' something. No, felt would be the wrong word, ''sensing'' someone seemed more fitting with the Detection capabilities ones Aura had if honed enough.

''It seems we have an unwanted Guest.''

Bakugo was just walking back to the dorms, after an hour or so outside and it was already night, he had decided he was going to have a serious talk with Yang about their little argument earlier, while it might make things worse, it was far better for Bakugo to just tell her and then assume the consequences once done.

But then, he overheard them.

''If that is true, then when is it?''

''Tonight.''

''So that mist guy really was telling the truth after all...''

Bakugo immediately thought about fighting them, but then All for One came in mind after the mention of Kurogiri and quickly thought against it, he didn't wish to fight when All for One could potentially show up and really screw things up even more, but then he had an idea.

He took his Scroll wanting to make a call, but then came to mind of the Jamming they had for 2 months straight so he had to think of something else, maybe this place could also jam his Scroll.

Before he could consider his choice, someone else spoke, ''It seems we have an unwanted Guest.''

Bakugo immediately ran.

Todoroki was eating a surprisingly delicious Meal from the noddle stand, since here the food was pretty cheap for any Students who actually participated, and he was enjoying it.

After everything that happened today, it felt like he really needed to find a way to calm down and just relax, and going to the Arena Directly didn't seem right for some reason.

Either way, he was looking at the Screen that the Stand had as he finished his Meal and was taking a sip from his Drink which he enjoyed quite a lot.

Of course, the ones fighting were Penny and Pyrrha, 2 of the best fighters each Academy respectively had. But then came to mind his little conversation with Pyrrha he had earlier and how she seemed so distracted by something, so much she didn't notice his presence until they fell both on the ground.

Maybe he should have tried to see if he could help? But then again, that was something Midoriya was more an expert of and he wasn't, but he felt like he should have at least tried.

Those thoughts, however, got sent somewhere deep in his consciousness as what he saw shocked him, to a point that the glass he held fell on the ground, the Owner of said stand didn't even pay attention as he himself was looking at the screen, to shocked as well to mind that a single glass broke.

One Second, everything was normal with that fight, just a battle between friends that couldn't do more than some potential gashes due to the nature of their Semblances.

Then another Second and all hell broke loose.

But in the middle of his confusion and cries, he never heard his scroll ring.

Iida was in a Caffee, the one Team SMBI frequent quite often while watching the Tournament from there while also mussing about him and Coco. The Entire situation with Yang hadn't entirely bothered him, true, reminding them of the fact All for One is here and pretty much made their life much harder than they ever had imagined or wished it to be was a pretty low blow. But he knew Yang had reacted simply out of Frustration because of her action, Team RWBY got disqualified, which still wasn't really an excuse for straight-up attacking someone after the fight was over.

But he didn't know her side of the Story so he couldn't judge her yet.

But then came to mind his date with Coco, ''What should I do...'' he took a sip of his drink, Orange Juice. He hadn't thought about it, and he didn't regret his decision of actually starting to date Coco, but thinking in the long run, it felt like a mistake.

Not in the sense of the relation in itself, but the fact he might not be there one day...and that scared him, so much more than he ever thought possible.

Iida had never truly thought of ever starting a relationship with any of his Classmates back in U.A. and here, that Night during the Ball, he had finally felt love. Yet now he felt like he shouldn't feel love to someone he might never see again once he leaves.

But a part of him always asked, 'But will you?'

It was doubt, doubting they might never find a way back, doubt that any of them would ever make it, and doubt he would ever truly find how to live and doubt if he ever wanted to go back.

So he looked at the TV that the Caffee had, wanting to avert of thinking about that right now as it wouldn't help himself or any of them.

Oh how he wished he hadn't as cries and gasps of shock could be heard.

In the midst of his shock in the events that transpired on TV, he missed the vibration that came from his scroll.

Bakugo ran, he needed to be as far away as possible before he attempted to call, so when he thought he was far enough, he began to call the rest.

So he called Icyhot first since he was the only one he had no idea where he went, no response.

He then called Four Eyes and yet no response either. He would need to go later to the Caffee Four Eyes told him he likely would be in.

''Shit! Why won't they answer! Deku better fucking respond!''

He found the Number and was ready to press the call button.

But then, he heard a gasp, multiple ones, so he turned to where the gasp was heard, people were looking at a TV in a Bar with a large window, so he did the same.

He Immediately pressed the call button.

''...more input is needed for more possibilities,'' Midoriya said as he wrote in his Notebook, it was hard with his Left arm but he felt accustomed enough and it didn't look that bad.

As for why Izuku is even here when he could have gone outside, he wanted his Notes to be properly readable and his writing in the Arena was giving him a hard time so he returned to the dorms to finish it, which was now done, so he left it into a pile of other Notebooks he had, around 20 full of Semblances and detailing everything from current use to potential usage and how to counter them.

But then, his Scroll began to ring, and the call came From Kacchan, ''Deku!''

''Yes, Kacchan?'' he rarely called Deku unless it was really urgent.

''Do you know where the Fuck Icyhot is?!'' for some reason there seemed to be panic in his voice? Which was already a bad sign.

''No, but you did try to call him, right?''

''Of course I tried or I wouldn't have fucking called you!''

Deku nearly winced at the shout that Bakugo did, it really hurt his ears, ''Sorry, Kacchan but I don't know where he is, why are you even calling me?''

''Just...watch the TV and you'll know'' and just with that Kacchan hang up, only confusing Deku more as right there he didn't even sound angry or even shouted, if anything, he sounded worried?

Izuku did just as Bakugo asked and turned the TV on and he immediately was horrified by what happened...

Penny is...she's...Dead...

And then, somehow...something worse happened...

A few minutes earlier, around everywhere in Vale

The Villains were each walking in different directions, Tomura and Cinder had found an agreement if they wanted to actually get the Maiden's power, they needed most of the strong people over in the City, not Beacon Academy. But they also needed to make sure that they wouldn't regain Vale easily if they failed to retrieve the Fall Maiden's Power, which was highly unlikely to happen, so that was why currently the League of Villains were each placing Explosives in some key locations, each accompanied by Members of the White Fang.

Just as the last explosive was placed, Cinder's speech began, which Shigaraki smirked at, ''And this is the part where it all begins.''

''This is not a tragedy.'' People would always get uneasy, but so came the beginning of something else.

''This was not an accident.'' Panic would always increase and raise tension, so many waiting in the shadows, lurking closer and closer...

''This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children. To men who claim to be our guardians but are, in reality. Nothing more than men.'' And those shadows, already lurking under the watchful eyes of the supposed Guardians.

''Our Academy's headmasters wield more power than most armies. And one was audacious enough to control both.'' The Tower already knew what he needed to do.

''They claim to this power in making peace and yet, what do we have here?'' The Fool was watching this, silent and calm.

''One Nation's attempt at a synthetic army mercilessly torn apart by another star pupil.'' Panic kept rising...

''What need would Atlas have for soldier disguised as an innocent little girl.'' ...and anger rose.

''I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference.'' Yet he kept walking towards his destination, without a hint of hesitation.

''And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his Students.'' And yet it was to be wondered, how didn't he notice?

''First a dismemberment, now this?'' Perhaps he was too trusting?

''Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy. Yet I have witnessed neither.'' Disgust rose, reminding of someone about what they Originally thought of them.

''Perhaps Ozpin felt as though defeating Atlas in the Tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded its streets or the disappearance of one Team?'' Or perhaps was it simply a lack of trust?

''Or perhaps, this was his message to the Tyrannical dictator that has occupied an unsuspecting Kingdom with armed forces.'' They were rising.

''Honestly? I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong.'' They were in the dark.

''But I know the existence of peace is fragile.'' They had power.

''And the leaders of our Kingdoms conduct their business with Iron Gloves.'' But more importantly...

''As someone who hails from Mistral, I can assure you, the situation there is...equally undesirable.'' They knew what was happening

''Our Kingdoms are at the brink of War.'' And out of the Shadows, they came.

''Yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark.'' And undetected they were.

''So I ask you...when the first shots are fired...'' So was how it always went.

''Who do you think you can trust?'' People would panic, but this wasn't a battle...

This just meant it was time to act.

Well for once, I'm not going to actually give a long Authors Note like I usually do and give details, just warning you guys that I'll likely take far longer to write most of the Chapters now since I do have a side project I want to try and write as well but I'm not even sure if it's going to actually happen. But let's return to what you're all likely here for, it's time to start...The End of the beginning as the Next Chapter shall be called because I have quite a lot of idea's to use.

Oh and during Cinders Speech...what isn't written in Italic, try to guess who's saying that.

Oh and one last thing in advance since by the time I post this, it should be the 31st, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! See ya all Next Time!
