I don't own RWBY. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and was created by Monty Oum. I only own my Ocs
Team RWPY was taking a break by watching Team SSSN's match
Well, except Adam
He had decided to lay back for a bit as he was a bit worn out. Adam, however, had something else on his mind. He knew Winter Schnee would be coming to Beacon today, and he was sorta looking forward to it for two reasons
1. He would get to fight her
And 2. He would be able to make amends and possibly make a friend that wasn't younger than him
It's not that he didn't like the rest, it's just that he was looking for someone more like himself
Funny, not even a year ago, he would've screamed at the mere suggestion of being friends with a Schnee. But now, he was actively seeking one for just that reason
Anyway, he was in the training room, practicing his techniques along with a few new ones. The bots came at him like moths to a flame
That statement was almost literate in this case
Adam jumped over the one in front and fired Wilt out of Blush at the bot behind it. Adam fired Blush right into the bot's face before grabbing Wilt and deflecting a blade before it crashed down on him
Adam slashed through it's torso before sheathing Wilt. Adam looked at the 4 behind him and laid a hand on Wilt, ready to fight. A bot came up behind him and restrained him
Adam struggled before looking at the 4 running at him. They were near when the leader jumped and went to hit him in the face. Adam didn't know what happened next, he only knew the world went black before he regained his vision. He looked at his hands before looking at the bots to see that they were in pieces on the ground
Adam heard clapping and turned around to see a woman standing there. He took a deep breath in relief before looking at her
'I don't need Cinder seeing that stunt. Better she think I can't do anything about being put on my knees rather then find a new way to make me submit to her wishes.' Adam thought
"That was a good fight. I don't know how you didn't see the one behind you though." The woman said
Now that Adam got a better look at her, he noticed how she had very dark hair. It was practically black with maybe a hint of brown in it. Her hair was combed to the right with a parting on the left. It was also shoulder length
She was wearing a white hoodie with black stripes going down the sleeves, parallel to each other. She was wearing black sports pants with black shoes and Adam also noted the bottom of the black T-shirt that was underneath. She was small compared to Adam, about 5 feet exactly if Adam had to guess
"Yeah, I guess I should've been more careful and observant about my surrounding environment. If I wasn't cocky, I might've seen it. But, since they're bots, I figured that they would put up much of a fight." Adam said to her, explaining how he didn't see the bot behind him
"Don't be to hard on yourself. You managed to actually end the battle at once since you used your semblance at the right time. Most would panic and use it right away." She said to Adam
"Maybe, but that's not my semblance. And my master taught me to always be observant. She always told me 'If you aren't observant and calm, then anyone can kill you. Even the weak' for weeks and months on end. Hehe, she always was big on the saying 'the weak die, the strong live.'" Adam said, recalling all that Raven had taught him
"Hmm... I gotta go now. I have to get back to my business." The woman said
"You own a business?" Adam asked
"No, I said that because I have things to do." She explained
"Oh, makes sense." Adam said before turning away. Suddenly, he remembered something
"Hey! What's your name?" Adam asked the woman before she had a chance to get out of the room
"... Kylie..." She said before walking off
Adam hummed in curiosity
[Line Break]
Adam was now starting to feel both anxious and excited. Winter's bullhead had just arrived and as excited as he was, Adam knew she wouldn't just look over all the bad he's done
Adam knew that she definitely knows exactly who he was unlike Weiss, who had no idea who he was
Anyway, Adam was waiting in the courtyard nonetheless. He was leaning on one of the many lampposts
'It's weird we even have lampposts. Curfew is usually by 9:00, when it's only barely been dark for maybe an hour. Sure, people coming back from Vale might need them as well as the people who stay out until the last minute. But it's weird nonetheless.' Adam thought as he waited
"Oh you'll be absolutely pleased to meet the rest of my teammates and friends!" Adam heard a very familiar voice say
'That was Weiss.' Adam thought as he looked up. When he did, Adam saw Weiss walking with her sister and a few AK-200 trailing behind
Adam, knowing how he would only get this one chance until the next Vytal Festival, sighed and stopped leaning on the lamppost. Adam started to walk towards them when one of the AK's head flew out in front of his path
Adam looked over to where the head came from to see someone standing there. He had red eyes and black, messy hair. His skin tone was that of a white color
'Those red eyes, they look extremely familiar.' Adam thought
"Hey! I'm talking to you, Ice Queen!" The man shouted as Adam watched from a safe distance
"Halt!" Winter shouted back as her eyes narrowed a bit. Weiss started to walk up to the man
"Excuse me! Do you have any idea who you're talking too?" Weiss asked
The man put a hand on her forehead before putting a finger up to his lips and saying "Sh, sh, not you." He pushed her out of the way
"You." He said as a crow nearby started to caw before flying away
"Saw that gaudy ship of yours in town, I guess you're here too." He said as if she wasn't standing right in front of him
'He must know Winter somehow. Well, besides her being a Schnee.' Adam thought as he stayed safe on the sidelines
"I'm standing right before you." Winter said to him, pointing out the flaw in his speech
"... So it would seem." The man said after he looked closer at her
"You realize you just destroyed Atlas Military property?" Winter asked him before he looked around himself
"Ohhhh, I'm sorry. See, I mistook this for some sort of... sentient garbage." The man said in a mocking tone
"I don't have time for your immature games, Qrow." Winter said harshly
"Qrow huh?" Adam muttered to himself
"Wait, you two know each other?" Weiss asked Winter
"Geez, you Atlas specialists think you're so special, don't you?" The newly named Qrow asked
"It's in the title." Winter answered
"Well, you know what you really are? A buncha sellouts. Just like your boss." Qrow insulted Winter
"I'm sure what you think you're implying, but I've heard enough." Winter said, venom laced in her words
"Oh I heard too. I heard that ol' Ironwood finally turned his back on Ozpin." Qrow remarked
'Ozpin? That's interesting.' Adam thought
"Ozpin?" Weiss said in a questioning tone
"Weiss, it's time for you to go." Winter told her in a hurried tone
"What?"
"Listen to big sister, Weiss. She'll protect ya. Just like Atlas will protect all of us, huh?" Qrow kept throwing out insult after insult
"... If you won't hold your tongue, then I'll gladly remove it for you!" Winter shouted at Qrow
'Now would probably be as good as time as any to step in.' Adam thought before stepping out in front of them
"Everyone take a deep breath and calm down before this escalates." Adam said to the both of them. Adam heard Weiss scoff
"That's rich coming from you." Weiss remarked
"Listen kid, this is between me and her." Qrow said to Adam
"I disagree. As long as there are innocent people standing by, who have a chance to get hurt, it'll always involve me." Adam said before Qrow even got a chance to say more
Qrow shrugged
Out of the corner of Adam's eye, he saw Winter's eyes narrow and her teeth grit very hard. Adam almost was sliced in half
Almost
Adam rolled on to his back before doing handspring backward to avoid being impaled. Adam expected to land on the ground before he landed on something that felt like metal
Adam looked down to see that Qrow was holding him up with his buster sword. Adam jumped down and laid a hand on Wilt, which he'd brought out of his locker in preparation for this outcome
"Listen kid, I don't know who you are. But if you've got the Ice Queen this mad at a simple glance at you, then you're a friend in my book. Besides, you're gonna need the help." Qrow said to Adam
"I really won't, but ok. Whatever makes you happy." Adam said before rushing Winter with Qrow
Adam, Qrow, and Winter became a blur of colors as the glided all around their "arena." Many onlookers looked on in shock at Adam's skill. They knew Adam was good, but they never expected this from him
"What's going on?" Ruby asked in the background
"Some crazy guy just started attacking my sister with Adam!" Weiss answered
"Oh no! Who would do such a th- aaat is my uncle!" Ruby exclaimed
"What?!"
"Kick her butt, uncle Qrow!" Ruby cheered
"Uhh, teach them respect Winter." Weiss cheered for the opposite side
"Glad to see no one's cheering for me!" Adam shouted after getting knock backward
Adam rushed forward again and swung at Winter before sheathing Wilt. She flipped backward and thrust forward at Adam, who deflected it away. Adam unsheathed Wilt in a way that allowed him to immediately swing from out of the sheathe
Adam followed Winter as she dodged that strike. Adam swung horizontally before spinning around and swinging upward. Winter blocked that strike
Unfortunately, that's what Adam was counting on
Adam's shadow clones came out one by one to strike her her from all sides. Adam rejoined with them on the last swing to do a bunch of damage
Winter was knocked backward and barely had time to breath before Qrow was on her, swinging from multiple ways. Winter deflected his strikes and knocked him to the side before being hit in the face by Wilt
Adam leaped forward and grabbed Wilt before hitting Winter again and using his shadow clones again. Adam's clone struck her from the left before Qrow swung downward straight after. A new clone separated from the last and rolled over Qrow to kick Winter in the chest. Qrow swung upwards and knocked her back
Adam ran up with his clones and jumped off of Qrow's buster sword to join up with them. Adam used his semblance to make a massive shockwave
Winter stood up, hyperventilating. She looked from Adam to Qrow with narrowed eyes. Qrow put his weapon away while Adam sheathed Wilt. Winter, somehow, narrowed her eyes even more before gritting her teeth
Winter screamed and rushed forward, looking to knock Adam and Qrow down a few pegs
"SCHNEE!" Adam heard Ironwood yell out. Winter stopped almost immediately
"General Ironwood, sir!" Winter turned around and stood at attention
"What in the world do you think you're doing?" Ironwood asked Winter
"They started the altercation, sir." Winter tried to pawn off the blame on them
Tried being the keyword
"That's actually not true. She attacked first." Qrow said to Ironwood, reminding Winter who really started this
"Is that right?" Ironwood asked Winter. Winter just looked down in disappointment. Ironwood looked around at all the students for a second before looking at Qrow
"And you." Ironwood said, voice lowering as he addressed Qrow. Qrow pointed to himself with a confused look on his face
"What are you doing here?" Ironwood asked
"I could be asking you the same thing." Qrow retorted
"I-"
"Now, now everyone." Ozpin interjected. "There is a sanctioned fight happening just around the corner at the colosseum that I can assure you has better seats. And popcorn."
"Break it up, everyone! We will take care of this mess." Goodwitch said straight after, waving an arm around to emphasize her point
"Let's go." Ironwood said to Winter while straightening his tie and then marched off. Penny looked back and waved at Ruby and Adam, of whom waved back
"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby shouted out while latching onto Qrow's arm. "It's so good to see you! Did you miss me? Did you miss me?!" Ruby asked with the widest smile on her face. Qrow smirked
"Nope." He said, jokingly as he ruffled Ruby's hair
"Qrow! Adam! A word, please?" Ozpin asked as Ruby fell off of Qrow's arm
"I think we're in trouble." Qrow whispered to Ruby
"Well, both of you did kinda tear up our courtyard." Ruby countered
"Yeah, we did. Catch you later, kid." Qrow and Adam walked off
'This outta be interesting.' Adam thought
[Line Break]
Adam, Qrow, Glynda, and Ozpin were going up the elevator. Adam felt a little uncomfortable, but he's dealt with worse
"Hey kid." Qrow whispered to Adam
"What?" Adam whispered back
"You weren't too bad in that fight. I'd say you're exactly at Winter's skill." Qrow complimented Adam
"Thanks, but I knew that. Why're you letting me know that?" Adam asked
"Because I'm curious as of to why you were put on a first year team if you're that good." Qrow said before the door opened
Winter and Ironwood looked at them. Qrow raised his eyebrows at them
"What were you two thinking?! If both of you were my men, I'd have you shot!" Ironwood yelled at Qrow and Adam
"If we were one of your men, we'd shoot ourselves." Qrow retorted. Adam raised his hand for a fist bump, which Qrow bumped
"While I wouldn't condone his behavior, retaliating like you did certainly didn't help the situation." Glynda scolded Winter
"He was drunk."
"He's always drunk!"
Adam looked at Qrow to see that he was drinking. Ozpin sighed before sitting down
"Qrow, why are you here?" Ozpin asked
"You were out if contact for weeks! You can't just go dark in the field like that!" Ironwood shouted at him
"I'm not one of your special operatives, Jimmy." Qrow retorted
"General." Winter corrected in a stern tone
"Whatever. You sent me to get intel on our enemy, and I'm telling you our enemy is here." Qrow stated. Ironwood walked over to Ozpin's desk and sat on it
"We know." Ironwood said
"Oh! Oh you know! Well thank goodness I'm risking my life to keep you all informed!" Qrow exclaimed since he was irritated
Ironwood sighed
"Qrow-"
"Communication is a two way street pal! See this? That's the send button!" Qrow said after pulling out his scroll and pointing to the send button
"They had reason to assume you were compromised." Winter said, trying to defend Ironwood
"And I have reason to assume you don't need to be here. Seriously, who invited her?" Qrow asked
"Schnee, we'll discuss this incident back on my ship." Ironwood said to Winter
"But sir!"
"Winter, leave." Ironwood ordered. Winter walked by Qrow and paused for a second to look at Qrow, who winked in response
'I swear, if I didn't know any better, I'd say Qrow and Winter have sexual tension between them.' Adam thought
"You need to leave too, kid." Qrow said to Adam
"Actually Qrow, I want him to hear what we say next." Ozpin said
"Oz, you can't be serious. The kid isn't even out of his first year. Even if he might be 19, he-" Qrow was interrupted
"If I may, I can wait until a better time for whatever if is you want to tell me." Adam said, proposing a different way of doing things
"No. This is something that I feel I can't hide from you anymore." Oz said to him
"You may continue when ready, Qrow." Glynda prompted Qrow to continue
"... Your little infiltrator isn't just another pawn. They're the ones responsible for Autumn's condition." Qrow said. Adam was confused as of to what he meant, but didn't question it so far
"What?" Glynda asked in a shocked tone
"Despite what the world thinks, we're not just teachers, or Generals, or headmasters. The people in this room, the leaders of the other two academies. We're the ones that keep the world safe from the evils no one even knows about. It's why we meet behind closed doors, why we work in the shadows. So you tell me, James. When you brought your army to Vale, did you think you were being discreet. Or did you not give a damn!" Qrow had exclaimed, leaving Adam totally lost
"... Discreet wasn't working." Ironwood said, placing his scroll on the desk to bring up a hologram of Vale, his fleet, and Amity Colosseum
"I'm here because this, is what was necessary." Ironwood said, pointing to his fleet
"You're here because Ozpin wanted you here! He made you apart of this inner circle and opened your eyes to the real fight that's in front of us." Qrow argued with Ironwood, making Adam even more confused
"And I am grateful."
"Oh well, you've got a real funny way of showing it." Qrow pointed out at the things he did recently
"The people of Vale needed someone to protect them. Someone who would act. When they look to the sky and see my fleet, they feel safe. And our enemies will feel our strength." Ironwood said to them
"Hehehe. Hahaha. You think their scared of your little ships?! I've been out there and I've seen the things she's made, and let me tell you, they are fear." Qrow said, making Adam even more confused at the mention of someone
"And fear, will bring the Grimm." Everyone looked at Oz. "A guardian is a symbol of comfort. But an army is a symbol of conflict. There's an energy in the air now. A question in the back of everyone's minds. "If this is the size of our defenses, what is it that we are expecting to fight?" Oz said
Ironwood sighed before walking over and picking up his scroll. This time, however and because of Adam, his scroll wasn't infected with a virus. Ironwood turned around
"So then, what do you suggest we do?" Ironwood asked
"I suggest we find our guardian." Oz answered
"Umm... If I may, what are you talking about?" Adam finally asked. Oz smirked in response
"Tell me, Adam. What's your favorite fairy tale?"
Fucking finally! I finally got this chapter done! I hope y'all enjoyed it
Luine Mercury LWG: That made me laugh, not gonna lie
There's one thing I wanna explain before I go, and that's the Adam and Qrow vs Winter fight. See, I believe Adam was on the same level as Winter. Qrow, however, is much more skilled than that. When rewatching the Qrow vs Winter fight, it's obvious Qrow isn't trying the entire fight. Mostly, Qrow seemed to have been messing around with Winter. At the end of the fight was the only time where Qrow seemed to not have been messing around. But, even then, it still seemed like he wasn't trying. So, you can understand how Winter was getting wrecked since someone on her level was fighting her with someone higher than her level
Oh, by the way, Kylie is Before_hours_Writing OC. She was originally gonna appear in my Raven story, but he suggested that I can put her in this story as well. So I did
But I'm afraid I must be going now
See y'all later and I hope you enjoyed the chapter
