A/N
Just quickly before this starts. Why did it take me so long to update? Well, sometimes life just gets in the way. I had a ton of stuff to do for school so that's why I haven't found the time to update sooner. Also, I realized that I made a mistake by adding the number of characters that I did so I decided to remove Saphron, Terra, Adrian, Pietro, Robyn, Maria, and Vernal. There were just too many characters and I couldn't fit them all in one chapter and I also want to focus on character development in the future and not just the reactions themselves. I hope you all understand my decision.
A quote fades in: "Scathing eyes ask that we be symmetrical, one sided and easily processed. Yet every misshapen spark's unseen beauty is greater than its would be judgement."
"That's deep." Tayiang said trying to figure out who this one could be about.
"All the quotes have been deep Tai." Qrow decided to tell his teammate the obvious.
"Why didn't mine have a quote?" Ruby asked no one in particular getting a few shrugs of 'I don't know' in return.
Yang is shown riding her motorcycle through the streets of Vale. She eventually stops in front of a club that is blasting music. A raven is seen flying off as she walks towards the club.
"I swear I've seen that bird before." Yang said kind of creeped out thinking that a bird was following her.
"Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?" Weiss asked the blonde buffoon that was probably going to be her future teammate.
"Not as ridiculous as it seems." Qrow quietly said to himself while taking a quick glance at Raven.
As she walks through the club, she sees Roman Torchwick ending a conversation with Junior.
"Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest"
"Why is it playing my song again." Ruby asked confused why it would be playing her song when the trailer is about her sister.
"What a rip off I don't even get my own song." Yang complained.
She makes her way to the bar where Junior stands.
Yang: Strawberry Sunrise. No ice. Oh, and one of those little umbrellas.
Taiyang reached over and gripped Yang's shoulder with barely concealed anger "We are going to have a long talk once we get back home young lady."
"Yes, dad." Yang said face pale already fearing his reaction to her wrecking the club.
Junior: Aren't you a little young to be in this club, Blondie?
"Yes, aren't you a little young to be in that club?" Taiyang asked getting angrier by the second.
Yang looked over at her uncle for help who pointedly ignored her pleading look deciding to not get involved in this situation.
Yang (giggles): Aren't you a little old to have a name like Junior?
There were a few chuckles around the room "His name is Junior?" Oscar said while chuckling.
Junior: So you know who I am. You got a name, sweetheart?
Yang: Yes, Junior, I've got several. But instead of sweetheart, you can just call me sir.
She grabs his groin and squeezes it painfully causing Junior to cry out in pain comically.
All of the males in the room grimace and cross their legs while all the women nod approvingly making the men even more nervous.
"You know that hurts more than you think." Jaune said meekly.
"Yes, I know, that's the point." Yang replied with a grin not easing his worries.
Yang: People say you know everything.
She brings her scroll up to his face, showing him a picture of Raven.
Yang: Tell me where I can find her and I'll let you go.
"You're wasting your time Yang." Qrow sighed.
"Well, I know that now." Yang replied with a glare towards Raven who was looking anywhere but her.
Junior (straining): I've never seen her before, I swear!
Yang: Excuse me?
Junior (straining): I swear, sir!
Junior's henchmen begin to gather around.
Yang: Hmm, looks like we have an audience. This must kind of embarrassing for you, huh? Awkward...
"That's a bit much don't you think?" Jaune asked slightly concerned for Junior.
"Well, I wanted answers and he wasn't giving me any." Yang replied with Raven nodding approvingly of her daughter's questioning methods.
Junior (straining): Listen, blondie sir. If you want to make it out of this club alive, I suggest you let me go. Now!
"He doesn't sound very threatening with that voice." Blake said dryly.
"Sounds like a little girl more than anything." Nora was able to say through her laughter.
She lets go and Junior sighs in relief.
Junior: You'll pay for that!
He puts on his sunglasses and walks away from her. Yang follows closely behind.
Yang: Oh Junior, I was just playing with you! Don't be so sensitive! Come on, lets kiss and make up, okay?
Junior stops and turns around.
Junior: Huh? Uh, okay.
"White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test"
Facepalms were all that was heard around the room.
"Is he actually this stupid?" Glynda decided to ask.
"Apparently he is because he fell for it." Yang answered her question smiling.
"Why is no one talking about how he was going to accept a kiss from an underaged girl?" Taiyang asked still mad about his daughter being in that club.
"I don't know, maybe because he's a criminal?" Qrow sarcastically answered him.
As he leans in, she punches him in the face sending him flying across the room. The surrounding henchmen respond by charging at Yang.
"Black the beast descends from shadows"
She deploys Ember Celica and jumps up into the air only to slam a fiery punch into the ground, sending a ripple through the dance floor, knocking the incoming henchmen off their feet.
"Yellow Beauty burns Gold"
"Miss Xiao Long, you do realize that what you are doing is illegal right?" Ironwood said in a scolding manner.
"How is that illegal? He's a criminal." Yang asked not seeing how she was in the wrong here.
"Criminal or not you attacked first and put a lot of people in danger." Winter said backing up her General.
"You are so lucky you didn't get arrested." Taiyang muttered angrily.
As the henchmen get up, Yang charges at one, jumping into the air and performing a somersault kick on her first opponent. She then turns around and uppercuts a second one, following it up with a spinning kick that sends another two tumbling away.
"Mirror, tell me something"
"Why is Weiss' song playing?" Willow asked not really expecting an answer.
"I'm guessing that all the songs we've heard so far are going to make an appearance just like Miss Rose's." Ozpin decided to answer her while drinking his coffee.
"So that means Blake's song is next." Kali said to herself although the people sitting close to her still heard.
As the rest charge at her, Yang shoots at the first one in front of her and kicks behind her at another. Another henchman swings at her from behind, but she sweeps his legs out from under him and punches him up into the air, only to slam him into the ground. She then takes a couple steps toward an oncoming henchman to jump up and launch herself off of him, allowing her to deliver a flying punch to another henchman. This is quickly followed by her rushing forward as she defeats yet another nearby opponent. As the fallen henchman collapses, he lands on the henchman behind him, sending him stumbling back. He attempts to block the oncoming punch from Yang, but to no avail, as Yang simply breaks straight through her opponent's guard before delivering an then notices several more assailants approaching from behind and fires a shot, using the recoil to send her flying towards yet another group of enemies. She elbows the first henchman and kicks him away while another attempts to swing at her, but is promptly blocked and shot in the face. Yang then swings around under his arm and punches him once more. This is followed by another spin as she kicks, punches, and kicks him again, with the final hit sending him flying backwards through a glass pillar.
"Tell me who's the lonliest of all?"
"Is it wrong that I feel bad for them?" Jaune asked wincing with every hit the on-screen Yang delivered.
"They appear to be heavily injured." Penny said having scanned their injuries.
"Yes, we can see that." Blake deadpanned.
Yang turns around to see the final henchman charge and swing at her. She promptly blocks the blow and punches his chin, stunning him and allowing her to follow up with a flurry of blows that conclude with an uppercut that launches him into the air. Yang then delivers a final punch that sends him flying back.
"Mirror, what's inside of me" "Tell me can a heart be turned to stone?"
Upon clearing the dance floor, she spots the DJ pulling out a machine gun before firing down at her from his booth. Yang charges towards the booth, dashing from side to side in order to avoid the incoming fire. Once close enough, she jumps up, firing her shotgun-gauntlets at the floor for additional propulsion. As she lands, she places a hand on the mixing desk before swinging her legs around, kicking the DJ in the face. This sends him stumbling back. Yang then spins and lands with her back facing him, only to fire once more to send her elbow into his face. She then slams his face into the table, picks him up, and launches him off by firing. He lands at Melanie and Militia Malachite's feet, unconscious, with his "helmet" rolling away.
Militia: Melanie, who is this girl?
Melanie: I dunno Miltia but we should teach her a lesson.
"You're grounded once we get back home." Taiyang told his daughter.
"What! Why? What did I even do to deserve this?" Yang asked ready to argue.
"Well let's start with you going to a club and then destroying it." Taiyang said with a glare that shot down whatever argument she had ready.
No one decided to comment on the video sensing the awkward tension.
"Born with no life into subjigation"
Yang jumps from the podium, unleashing a barrage of shell-shots in mid-air at the Malachite Sisters, which they evade by backflipping away. After recomposing, the sisters charge at Yang as she lands on the dance floor, continuing her barrage.
"Treated like a worthless animal"
As the sisters split to opposing sides, with Yang focusing her barrage on Melanie, they begin their counterattack, with Melanie dodging and deflecting Yang's bullets while Miltia takes a swipe at Yang from behind.Ducking to avoid Miltia's strike at the last second, Yang turns and fires at her, only to have Miltia jump to avoid it as Melanie lands behind Yang and retaliates with a heel-kick. Yang blocks the kick with her gauntlets forcing herself back a distance away from the sisters.
"They're certainly better than those other henchmen." Weiss said with several people nodding in agreement.
"They might be good but they're not as good as Yang." Ruby said knowing her sister would easily beat them. Hearing this made a smile appear on Yang's face happy that her sister believed in her.
"Stripped of all rights, just a lesser being"
Yang quickly grounds herself and fires a round at them, which Melanie deflects with a frontflip heel-kick off into a pillar. Miltia quickly closes in on Yang and delivers a couple of swipes that Yang defends against, only to have Melanie follow up with a series of jump-kicks while Yang is off-balanced.
"Crushed by cruel ruthless human rule"
Blocking each attack, Yang quickly fires a round in response, which Melanie ducks to avoid. Miltia swoops in with a downwards swipe while Melanie sweeps Yang's right leg and finishes with a series of kicks that make contact, launching Yang across the stage.
"When it started, all we wanted was a chance to live our lives"
Yang rolls and quickly regains her footing, firing both gauntlets to propel her back across the stage and landing a hard right punch onto Melanie's face, knocking her down. While Melanie lies stunned on the floor, Yang confronts Miltia in close-range melee combat, with Yang firing rounds with each punch thrown and Miltia defending with her claws. However, Yang overwhelms her with a low kick, a series of boosted body shots, and a final round from Ember Celica, blasting Miltia off the stage.
"See, I told you she was better than them." Ruby said smiling smugly at Weiss.
"I never said she wasn't I just said they're better than the others and besides she's still got one to go so wipe that smug grin off your face." Weiss said although Ruby's grin didn't falter.
"Now in darkness, taking everything we want and we will rise"
Melanie finally recovers from Yang's punch just in time to see her sister get flung into a pillar overhead. Yang confronts her by firing off a round at close-range, which Melanie again avoids by backflipping. After avoiding another round into the ground, Melanie retaliates with an upward leg swipe before kicking a third round point-blank in order to deflect it. Both Yang and Melanie resort to close-range melee combat, with Yang throwing boosted punches and blocking with her gauntlets while Melanie kicks and swipes as she defends with the blades of her boots. A hard side-kick pushes Yang away as each take a second of reprieve before Melanie closes in on Yang.
"From shadows, we'll descend upon the world"
Feinting with her boots to keep Yang off-balanced, Melanie shifts herself along the stage, forcing Yang to back-step continuously. This leaves Yang unable to ground herself while defending against Melanie's feints and kicks.
"Take back what you stole"
A longer series of kicks from Melanie allows Yang to finally ground herself, spin to dodge Melanie's last kick while retracting Ember Celica, and land a body blow with her left elbow. Yang quickly grabs Melanie's right arm and uses it to twist and spin the rest of Melanie's body, using the built-up momentum to land a final devastating jump-kick to Melanie's face.
Ruby looked at Weiss with that shit-eating grin once again. "Don't even start."
The holograms in the club suddenly turn off and a spotlight shines on Junior as he brings out his Bazooka.
"Why does he have a rocket launcher?!" Willow screeched and most people winced at the loud noise while Kali shared her sentiment also worried about Yang.
Junior: You're gonna pay for this.
"That's highly unlikely." Qrow said taking a drink from his flask.
"Come at me and you'll see"
Junior fires off a stream of rockets from his weapon's bazooka form, and Yang backflips and siderolls to dodge several.
"I do get my own song!" Yang exclaimed gleefully getting eye rolls in return.
"That's what you care about right now?" Blake asked sighing when she got a loud "Yes" in return.
"I'm more than meets the eye"
Upon righting herself, Yang then destroys several more incoming rockets with well-placed shots from Ember Celica.
"You think that you'll break me"
Advancing, Junior changes his weapon to its bat form and strikes at Yang multiple times, with the latter managing to defend and block all but one, causing her to recoil and stumble. This gives Junior an opening to hit her in the face, sending her flying backwards into a glass structure.
"You're gonna find in time" "You're standing too close to a flame that's burning"
Yang pushes herself to her feet, her hair ablaze and shining gold. She then slams her fists together, creating a minor shockwave, before dashing forward.
"Hotter than the sun in the middle of July"
"You're making this more dramatic than it has to be." Glynda said crossing her arms not approving of her future students actions.
"It's more fun that way." Yang defended her actions making Goodwitch as well as a few others roll their eyes.
Junior arms his rocket launcher and starts firing wildly, each shot missing as Yang sidesteps and evades them.
"Sending out your army, but you still can't win"
She quickly closes the gap between them, dodging a strike from Junior before laying into him, landing seven punches, each amplified by her weaponry.
"Listen up, silly boy, 'cause I'm gonna tell you why"
The final punch sends Junior flying back, his weapon broken in two, one piece of it in one hand, a lock of Yang's hair in the other.
"I burn!" "Can't hold me now" "And you're not stopping me"
"Well... he's dead." Ruby said honestly afraid Yang would kill him.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Most people who didn't know Yang thought while Weiss was the one who decided to voice that question.
"Yang is very protective of her hair." Ruby shuddered reminded of a time she accidentally cut a bit of Yang's hair.
The sight enrages Yang, who promptly engulfs herself in a huge explosion of fire, which shatters the dance floor.
"That's what I was talking about." Ruby said cringing knowing what was about to happen.
"I burn!" "Swing all you want" "Like a fever, I will take you down"
She then charges Junior at a rapid speed, landing one final blow square in the jaw, which sends him flying through a window into the street, landing in front of Ruby.
"Ohhh... that's going to leave a mark." Nora said while giggling not feeling bad for Junior at all.
"You've got anger issues." Jaune decided to point out not realizing what he was getting himself into.
"What was that?" Yang asked dangerously almost growling getting a squeaky "nothing" in return "That's what I thought."
Ruby: Yang? Is that you?
Yang: Oh! Hey sis!
"I'm sorry if I sound rude for asking but you're sisters? You don't look alike at all." Pyrrha decided to ask the million-dollar question although most people in the room were curious as well.
"We're actually half-sisters." Yang answered her already knowing somebody was going to ask that question.
Ruby: What are you doing here?
Yang sighs before the screen cuts to black.
Yang: (Sighs) It's a long story.
The RWBY title pans from the left of the screen before unveiling all four characters: Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long.
"Well, that's certainly going to be an interesting team." Ozpin said.
"I wonder who's next?" Oscar asked wondering when he would appear.
"Isn't it obvious? It's going to be us!" Nora said pointing at Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, and herself.
"And what makes you think that?" Glynda asked for no particular reason.
"It does make sense when you look at how we're seated. First, it was Ruby then Weiss, Blake, and Yang so Jaune should be next." Ren said and with that everyone waited for what was going to be shown next.
