F3: Hey everybody I'm back. Hope you guys had enjoyed the chapters. Before we dive into this one I'll go over the disclaimers again. RWBY belongs Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I only own the OC characters of this fic. So with that said Let's Rev It Up!


Volume 1-18: Sunrise, Sunset.


It was a normal day at Beacon as it was now a weekend as Team RWBY was currently out exploring Vale some more while as Team SPIR stayed at Beacon since it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"So girls what's the plan for today?" Star asked.

"Not much other than some of us finishing up some homework." Iona said.

"Well how about we see if Jaune's team would like to hang out." Pepper suggested.

Rina shrugged her shoulders "Better than hanging out here in this room all day."

Turns they didn't have to go far as they heard a knock at their door.

Iona opened the door only to be met with Nora on the other side with the rest of the team.

"Oh hey Nora. What's up?" Star asked.

"Oh you know Ren thought it would be good idea that we get to spend some time together since we hardly ever get to do so." Nora replied.

"Turns out we were going to ask all of you the same thing." Rina said.

Nora smiled "Great then why don't we go toward Vale? Pyrrha said she was looking for something there." Nora replied.

"Well then lets get ready to go." Star said as the group prepared to head out.

=RWBY=

Once they arrived in Vale they gathered up near a coffee shop.

"Okay so what now?" Jaune asked.

"Actually I was hoping we could split up for a bit. Then we can meet back here in about two hours. Sounds good?" Pyrrha asked.

"That wouldn't sound like a bad idea. Theirs eight of us so maybe four groups of two." Star suggested.

"Great idea let's go Iona." Pyrrha said as she grabbed hold of Iona before running off with her.

The remaining members only looked on at confusion.

"Um... how about Rina and Nora are one group then Pepper and Ren for another." Star suggested.

"Which leaves you and Jaune for the last group." Pepper says.

"Alright we'll check out the sights and meet back here later." Jaune said.

"Okay we'll catch you two later." Rina said as her and Nora headed out as well as Pepper and Ren.

"You know Pyrrha's been acting a little strange lately. Any idea why?" Jaune asked Star as the two began to walk around the city.

Star shrugged "I don't have the slightest clue Jaune." She lied having a bit of an idea.

Meanwhile with Pyrrha and Iona the two were now walking the east side of the city.

"Okay sis what in the world was that about. You dragged me away before I got to say anything." Iona said.

"Well... I need your help." Pyrrha said.

"With what?" Iona asked.

"Um... Jaunes birthday is next week and I was hoping to find him a present for him but the fact is..." Pyrrha began.

"You don't know what do get him right?" Iona finished as Pyrrha nodded.

"Yes and I could really use some help with finding something for him." Pyrrha suggested.

"And well since you had some... experience in that field. Maybe you can help me out." Pyrrha added.

Iona only sighed as she shook her head before she smiled "Alright well do you know what Jaune likes or maybe something that he might need?" She asked.

"Well I believe he needs a new shield after the last time. His shield got dented during combat training." Pyrrha answered.

"So let's look around some shops and see if we can find him a new shield." Iona replied as the two began looking around.

Meanwhile Nora and Rina the two were exploring the west end of Vale or more like trying to prevent Nora from going to any candy shop and spending any lien.

"Geez girl sometimes I wonder what kind of energy you run on." Rina replied as Nora simply skipped along side her.

"Oh c'mon lighten up a little. Have some fun! Besides we hardly get to spend time together anymore." Nora said.

"I mean if we didn't talk anymore it would almost like that we didn't know each other and if we didn't know each other it would be like we..." Nora continued to speak as Rina simply tried to drown her out.

Rina was currently having other things on her mind more importantly a text she'd recieved three days ago.

[Flashback]

It was nighttime at Beacon Rina's teammates were currently sleeping at the time but Rina got up to handle her nightly interruptions.

"Ugh that's the last time I ever drink too much before bed." Rina said groggily.

However just as she was about to head into the room her scroll buzzed. She took out her scroll and immediately noticed who it was.

"Hey kiddo." The text read.

"Hey dad. Your texting me a little late you know." Rina texted back and waited for an answer from him.

"I know but I needed to tell you something." He texted back,

"About what? A new job I hope." She texted him.

"Yeah and it's a big one. There's going to be a huge shipment of dust coming in the harbor in about four days. I'm going to need you their and in disguise so you aren't seen. Also our client will be their saying they need our help with something important." He texted back,

"Alright... I'll see what I can do." Rina texted back.

"Take care my little spider." He texted back,

"Yeah... you too dad." Rina texted back as she turned off her scroll and headed back to her hammock.

[Flashback End.]

Rina was so enthralled in her thoughts that she didn't notice Nora was trying to get her attention.

"Hello. Remnant to Rina do you read me." Nora said waving her hand in front of her face.

"Huh? Oh sorry I was just thinking about something." Rina replied.

"You seemed distracted. Something on your mind?" Nora asked.

"Nothing that I can't figure out." Rina replied back as the two continued on.

On the north end of town Star and Jaune were near the harbor.

"So Jaune I take it classes are going well for you." Star replied.

"Yeah... you can say that." Jaune said nervously.

She noticed the change of tone in his voice.

"Something bugging you?" Star asked.

"No nothing! Nothing bothering me at all! Nope." He said quickly trying to remain calm.

Unfortunately that didn't fool her in the slightest.

"Okay Jaune I know somethings bothering you. Is it Cardin cause if it is I'll make sure he gets it..." Star began but Jaune quickly stopped her.

"Nononono it's not Cardin. It's me actually." He answered.

He statement seemed to confuse her "Um... what exactly are you talking about?" Star replied.

"Well you see... um... how do I say this? There's this girl that I like but it's kinda hard to talk to her." Jaune replied.

Star raised an eyebrow to that "And does this girl have a name or is it someone that we all know." Star replied.

Jaune nodded his head "Yeah it is someone we know." He confirmed.

Star tried putting the pieces together on who he was talking about.

"Is it Nora?" She asked.

"No. As much as Nora is a good teammate I think she's more into Ren than anyone else." Jaune replied.

After he denied Nora she immediately knew who he was talking.

"Oh... so its Pyrrha I take it." Star replied. Almost immediately Jaune slightly blushed.

"Yeah." He replied nodding his head in confirmation.

Star only sighed with a smile on her face "Then why haven't you told her?" Star asked.

"Well whenever I try to ask her she keeps on avoiding me for some reason coming up with an excuse then she runs off." Jaune replied.

"That's odd. If anyone knows Pyrrha more its Iona." Star added.

"Yeah I guess so." Jaune said but before they could look around much more they heard someone very familiar.

"Hey stop that guy!" Ruby's voice shouted as they noticed Team RWBY was chasing after someone.

The guy they were chasing is six foot tall seventeen year old with tan skin with short spiky light blonde hair with blue eyes. He wears two red wrist bracers over black finger-less gloves and an open loose-collared white jacket with no t-shirt underneath that shows off his muscular chest and lower stomach. He is wearing white bandages on his legs and has a chain hanging from the belt loops on the right side of his pants.

He wears black and yellow sneakers and wears a twisted golden necklace around his neck that bears a monkey emblem on it. However a noticeable trait is the he's a faunus with a prehensile monkey tail poking out of his jeans.

"Catch me if you can girls!" The guy called back as he jumped from the lamposts in town.

When he jumped over the two he took a glance down to notice Star who was staring back at him.

"Man that guys quick." Jaune said quite impressed.

"C'mon we got to catch him." Weiss replied as team RWBY zipped by.

"Wait a minute. I know that guy." Star muttered before thinking of who he was. Then it hit her and when she figured it out she wasn't happy in the slightest.

"Sun Wu Kong!" She hollered as she decided to join the chase.

Jaune quickly followed "You know him!?" He asked.

"Yeah he came from Vacuo like me and when I get a hold of him I'm going to have me a monkeys tail as a scarf." Star growled.

As they chased the monkey faunus they noticed that they were starting to lose sight of him.

"Were losing him." Jaune replied.

Star looked around and noticed an alley way near them "C'mon we can cut him off here." Star said as they took the alley way as team RWBY continued to follow.

Sun continued to evade the group that was following him and he was confident that he was in the clear.

"Looks like they couldn't keep up." Sun replied but before he could even relax he was quickly met with a claw hook grabbing hold of his jeans and ripping him off the pole toward Star and Jaune.

"Ow! Okay what's the big..." Sun began before noticing an angry Star in front of him.

"Oh... hey Star how's it going?" He asked casually.

"Don't 'hey Star' me monkey boy. Where in the name of Remnant were you?" Star asked.

"No letter, no nothing from you for months. Not after I gave you my application for Shade Academy in Coquina. What happened?" Star asked.

"Well you see something came up and well your application kinda got denied in a sense." Sun began.

"That still doesn't explain why I haven't heard from you in a while." Star reminded.

"Well I'm attending Shade Academy and It's kinda hard to when all they way out their." Sun added.

"And just how'd you get into Shade Academy?" She asked.

"I was... offered one and you know that academy is hard so I just managed to get in." Sun replied.

At first Star didn't say anything before she finally spoke up "Sun... you're a great guy but... I"M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Star shouted as she nearly lunged at him if Jaune didn't hold her back.

"Whoa their! Star take it easy besides we don't even know why he's even here in the first place." Jaune replied.

That did get her attention at first "Alright... what are you doing here? Especially all the way from Vacuo." Star asked.

"Well for the Vytal Festival of course." Sun answered.

"The Vytal Festival?" Jaune asked then remembered.

"Oh wait a minute a think I know what you mean. They started preparations but its still some time out." Jaune replied.

"The Vytal Festival? What is that?" Star asked.

"Well its only held once every two years. And preparation are done months in advance. Everyone from around Remnant is coming for this from Vale all the way to Haven. Its meant to celebrate peace after the Great War." Jaune replied.

"Wow I didn't know it was that important." Star added.

"Well considering its being held in Vale this year." Jaune replied.

"Hold on how'd you get here anyway? Tickets for a ferry aren't cheap you know." Star replied.

Sun nervously rubbed the back of his head "Well... I kinda stowed away in the ships cargo while they weren't looking, but when I got off two guards noticed me and then another group of girls were chasing me but they weren't fast enough to keep up." Sun described.

Star only groaned "You know you're lucky that you and I are friends or I would be hanging you by your own tail right now." Star replied but underneath her ribbon she could hear someone coming which sounded like Blake and Weiss having some sort of dispute.

"Look you better get going before they find you and start asking questions." Star ordered.

"Sure. Oh and one more thing my team will arrive too and we'll be staying at Beacon for sometime till the festival." Sun replied.

"Yeah fine just go already." Star hissed as Sun immediately left the two behind.

"All am saying is that this White Fang group is nothing but a pack of murderers. They lie, cheat, and steal to get whatever they want and its not helping them at all at what they are doing." Weiss voiced off.

"While I can agree to some of that they are just misguided faunus that don't know the rights and wrongs about what they're doing." Blake sounded off as the two continued to argue while Yang and Ruby were trailing behind them.

"We better get the others and head back to the academy." Star replied which caused Jaune to groan.

"So much for a friendly outing in the city." Jaune said as they each phoned their teammates.

=RWBY=

Apparently once they got back and went their own ways Weiss and Blake were still going at each other saying things about the White Fang.

"I'm telling you the dust shop we saw their was another White Fang attack. Its because of them that businesses like that are going under and eventually they'll go bankrupt. Which will effect everything around them." Weiss replied.

"First of all how do you even know it is the White Fang in the first place? Theirs no evidence that could lead them to do something like that." Blake countered.

Meanwhile Yang, Ruby and the rest of team SPIR only looked on at the argument deciding to try and help settle the dispute.

"How long they've going at it like this?" Iona asked.

"Every since we left Vale and not to mention its nearly dark so about two hours at best." Ruby replied as they watched them continue to go at each other.

"Its not just the small stores they're effecting but even major corporations like..." Weiss paused for a moment before speaking again.

"The SDC will have to shovel out more dust to the other stores all across Remnant that are affected by it. They maybe a large corporation but even they have limits." Weiss retorted.

Star huffed looking to Weiss "Honestly if it were up to me the SDC needs to lose some of its dust. I mean they'll more than likely get more from their labor force after all." Star chimed in siding with Blake.

"I mean the SDC has been a bit unreliable as of late due to several thefts that this Spider person has done." Star replied.

Pepper huffed looking to the side "Who's to say that this Spider isn't working for the White Fang? I mean think about all the dust robberies done by that one. Hate to say but the White Fang are at fault here." Pepper voiced her opinion siding with Weiss.

"Oh of course you would take her side seeing that your probably her bodyguard or something." Star replied with a hiss.

Pepper slightly growled at that "Lets not make this about me we're talking about the White Fang. I mean look at the protest group they attack a few months back before we all started. The report stated that their was several casualties during that attack. If anything the White Fang are just as bad if not worse than this Torchwich guy." Pepper replied.

Rina not liking the jab at Roman frowned and glares at Pepper "From my understanding Torchwich hasn't killed anybody. Ruby you should know this you've met him before you were accepted into Beacon right." Rina pointed out.

"Um... yeah." Ruby said nervously.

"And what did he only do?" Rina asked.

"Well from what I understand he only took the dust and left lien where it was and the old man alive." Ruby replied.

"See. So theirs no way Torchwich would be involved in something like that." Rina replied.

"Even still the White Fang only ruin peoples lives and need to be punished for it." Weiss replied back.

"They don't deserve to be punished for something they couldn't control!" Blake shouted as Yang and Iona only looked on with nervous looks.

"Okay girls lets stop this. Before anyone says something they might regret." Iona said trying to calm them down.

"Yeah what she said." Yang agreed.

"If it were up to me I'd hunt down every faunus and take care of them myself!" Weiss shouted back which kinda stunned Pepper.

Before Pepper could say anything Blake couldn't take it "WE JUST WANT TO BE EQUAL!" Blake roared which seemed to silence them, and stare at Blake in shock. That's when Blake realized that she'd accidentally revealed her secret.

"I... um..." Blake said nervously but before anyone could say anything she ran as fast as she could out the door in a black blur.

"Blake! Wait!" Ruby called out trying to stop her partner.

Weiss for the most part was completely speechless at what she'd just witness but didn't get time to process as Star grabbed Weiss by the collar of her jacket and shoved her at a wall hard and held her there.

"You ungrateful, disrespectful little princess. Just when I thought you were different, but I guess I was right about you all along. You are nothing but a racist little brat with no care for others." Star growled her sapphire blue eyes glaring a hole through the other girl's pale blue eyes.

Star let her go letting Weiss fall to the ground and she left the room to chase after Blake.

Yang went to check on her partner helping her off the ground.

"You didn't mean that right." Pepper said not looking at Weiss.

"No I... I just..." Weiss said trying to get her words out but they didn't come to her.

"Cause if it weren't for me... you wouldn't be standing here today. You'd more than likely be dead in a ditch somewhere and be eaten by a grimm!" Pepper shouted bright orange glared at her intensely.

"Pepper... I... I didn't." Weiss stuttered tears threatening to escape.

"Don't. Just don't." Pepper growled then she did the one thing she promised never to do. She took off her scarf around her neck and threw it at Weiss.

From Iona and Rina's stand point they could see a eight pointed snowflake embedded on the left side of her neck.

"You can use that to hang yourself... bastard." Pepper spat. Weiss felt her words cut through her like a hot knife through butter as Pepper turned and left them as Weiss held the scarf close to her chest and silently cried into her partners shoulder with Yang not knowing what do to.

Meanwhile outside Beacon Academy Blake rushed out without much of a word soon coming to the front of Beacon where a statue of a huntsman and a huntress stood battle ready with their weapons drawn while underneath them a grimm was their ready to pounce at them.

Feeling a sense of guilt Blake slowly untied the bow from her head revealing a pair of cat ears underneath.

"Blake!" Star shouted out but she didn't turn around immediately but only stared at the statue. Star noticed she'd took off her bow revealing her cat ears.

"Why...?" Blake stared.

"Why were we even created? Were we only made to be hated and be shown nothing but distrust and judged because we're so different from humans?" She stated.

Star stood right next to her "Honestly I wish I knew why we were made, but not everyone has the answers you know." Star replied.

"We just have to try." She added. Star then went and remove her ribbon from her head letting her fox ears out sighing in relief.

"Well I thought I could find you two here." A familiar voice rung out behind them as they saw Sun hanging from a lamppost.

"Say you two want to get out of here or what?" Sun asked.

Blake only nodded as Star did so in agreement as the three left the school grounds and more than likely into Vale not knowing what maybe lurking their.

Meanwhile Pepper was completely fuming after what Weiss had said that not only that she'd threw the very thing that her mother gave her but when no one wasn't looking she unfurled her wolf tail from underneath her jeans and walked toward the practice field without much of a care if anyone saw her.

"Stupid Schnee." Was all that Pepper said as she continued her walk.


F3: Well... that really happened. Okay before you all scream at me for this but I did this on purpose because I still see it in Weiss character to *ahem* lose herself in a moment if she's angry. Wonder what's going to happen next. If you all liked this let me know in the comments. Also be sure to also fav or follow as well. With that said this has been Fireuser3 and I'm out!
