Team NWOR

"Where are you going?!" Weiss asks as Onyx begins walking away.

"I'm going to talk to Ozpin." Onyx states without stopping.

Ruby starts walking towards Beacon Academy. The rest follow, some reluctantly. Onyx leads, keeping track of his surroundings, not losing his guard for a second. Ruby speeds up until she's next to Onyx.

"What's wrong?" Ruby asks.

"Nothing." Onyx answers.

"We both know that's not true." Ruby responds.

Onyx stays in silence.

"I haven't known you for a full day and I've already seen two sides of you." Ruby states.

"How so?" Onyx asks.

"You're more aggressive. It's like anger is the only emotion you have now." Ruby explains.

"And what emotions did I have before." Onyx asks.

"None, you weren't showing any emotion." Ruby answers.

Onyx stared at her, his crimson eyes burning with hate and rage.

"You know who did this, don't you?" Ruby asks.

Onyx speeds up, leaving Ruby behind, without any answers.

The group arrives at Beacon Academy. Team JNPR departs while the rest enters Beacon Tower.

"Ozpin's office is..." Ruby begins.

Onyx was already gone. He had entered the Chaos Zone to enter Ozpin's office unnoticed.

"Well, that was rude." Weiss states.

Ozpin is standing at a window looking at the view in his office. He hears the door open and close, but doesn't react.

"I know you're here, Onyx." Ozpin says before turning around.

Onyx exits the Chaos Zone and leans on the wall.

"Never could sneak past you." Onyx comments.

"Why have you returned to my school?" Ozpin asks.

Ozpin sits at his desk and Onyx walks over to it.

"It has been a long time." Ozpin states.

"Not long enough if you ask me." Onyx growls.

"Onyx, Renya Nyanza wasn't my fault." Ozpin says.

"He targeted Veronica under your orders." Onyx retorts.

"I ordered Renya to find the Light Maiden, not kill her." Ozpin explains, "His actions and beliefs were his own."

"You were the one who invited him into your inner circle." Onyx states, "You were the one who trusted him with secrets that could change Remnant."

"Renya Nyanza was honorable, dispite his lack of moral limits." Ozpin says.

"Can you really call a man who killed a little girl 'honorable'?" Onyx questions.

Ozpin looks into Onyx's eyes.

"The girl's death was unfortunate," Ozpin begins.

"Unfortunate!" Onyx repeats.

"...but, did give Renya Nyanza your own punishment." Ozpin continues, "You killed him."

"I'm not your attack dog, Ozpin." Onyx growls.

"Of course not." Ozpin says, "You acted on your own, and while I would have chosen a less severe punishment for Renya Nyanza's actions, what you did is justified."

Onyx growls at Ozpin's logic. Dispite wanting to hate Ozpin, Onyx knows it wasn't his fault. Onyx clenches his fists and Ozpin clasped his hands together. Onyx then takes the black crossbow bolt out of his pocket and rests it on the desk. Ozpin picks it up and stares at the O embedded on the tip of the bolt.

"We both know he's been missing for fifteen years." Ozpin states.

"It was left behind on purpose to lure me to him." Onyx states.

"Why are you afraid to say his name?" Ozpin asks, "Will it increase your anger towards him?"

Onyx grabs the bolt and crushes it into tiny shards.

"My anger has reached it's limits." He states.

"What is the point of getting angry about something that happened fifteen years ago?" Ozpin asks.

"My anger is the source of my strength." Onyx responds.

"'Anger is the strongest source of power and the most dangerous, for both the user and his opponents.' Do you remember who said that?" Ozpin says.

Onyx clenches his fists.

"I didn't come here for a lecture already given to me by a dead man." Onyx says.

"It's been fifteen years since Team NWOR (Pronounced Noir) disbanded." Ozpin states.

"Not much of a team when the only other member is Rubine." Onyx states.

"Not true, there's still Night." Ozpin states.

Onyx slams his fists onto the table.

"Don't talk about Night, he killed Windsor!" Onyx yelled.

"You didn't come here just to discuss former events?" Ozpin asks.

"No. I need you to help me find Night and stop him." Onyx states.

"Night dropped off the face of Remnant, he was last seen the same day Onyx Mordant was." Ozpin says, "That is if you're still going by Carmine Noir."

"I only need your resources." Onyx says.

"You mean my students." Ozpin corrects.

"I don't need any help to fight him." Onyx says, "Just finding him."

"Your crusade against him will only cause further casualties." Ozpin states, "I will not allow you to put my school in danger."

"It is already in danger. If we don't strike first, we may not be able to stop him." Onyx explains.

"Night is a master strategist. He needed another piece on the board, so he summoned you. He would have planned for us to attack which would give him access to whom ever we send after him." Ozpin states, "The only way to win this game is to not play."

"He would be prepared for all scenarios, this is the one that gives us the highest chance of victory!" Onyx growls.

"Which is why it would be the one he is best prepared for." Ozpin says.

"Fine, I'll do it myself. I work better alone anyway." Onyx says.

"Wait." Ozpin orders.

"You can't stop me." Onyx states.

"I know." Ozpin responds.

"Then what is it?!" Onyx asks.

"Here." Ozpin says as he hands Onyx a black scroll.

Onyx grabs the scroll and opens it. He glares at Ozpin for a moment.

"You kept this for me?" Onyx's tone implies a "why".

"We may not be on good terms, but you are, by no means, my enemy." Ozpin states.

Onyx nods to Ozpin, saying "thank you" without using words. Ozpin nods in return, saying "you're welcome" in the same fashion. Onyx then leaves Ozpin's office.

"You can come out now." Ozpin says.

Team RWBY enters the room.

"You want to help him, don't you?" Ozpin asks.

"I do." Ruby says.

"Why? He has done nothing good to us recently." Weiss protests.

"Onyx has had a troubled life, and not just the death of his teammate. He grew up on the streets as a thief. Once Onyx tried to rob me and I caught him. I allowed Onyx to enter my school because if he was not shown a light, he would forever walk a path of darkness." Ozpin explains.

"I see he followed that path of light." Yang comments, sarcastically.

"It is not too late to change that." Ozpin states.

As Team RWBY turns to leave Ozpin calls to them.

Onyx walks up a warhouse with a garage door. He uses his scroll to unlock the garage door and opens it. Onyx then enters the garage, turns on a light, and closes the door behind him. Inside is a black suitcase, a matte black motorcycle, and a chest. Onyx opens the chest. He digs inside and pulls out a picture of him when he was younger wearing a Beacon uniform and someone else. The stranger was around his age then, with long black hair and flame yellow eyes. He also had on a Beacon uniform. Onyx took the picture out its frame, folds it up, and put it down. He opened the suitcase to find another outfit.

Onyx wears an opened black overcoat that goes halfway down his shins. The buckles used to close the coat are gunmetal grey. The coat has bandages wrapped around a tear in the right bicep. Under his coat is a black turtleneck tucked into his baggy, blacks pants. His pants are tucked into his knee-high, black combat boots. Covering each of his shins is a gunmetal grey greave. The greaves are held on by two black leather belts on the top and bottom. Over his coat is a thick, dark brown leather belt that goes from his left shoulder to his right hip. Connected underneath his belt another thinner belt of similar design. This belt goes from the center of the larger belt to his right shoulder. The belts have a gunmetal grey tip and buckle. Wrapped around his waist is a third belt of similar design to the other two. Over each of his arms is a black leather vambrace with a gunmetal grey forearm guard. Each of the leather vambraces have a black leather fingerless glove attached to it.

Onyx turns to the garage door and opens it. Outside is Team RWBY.

"Why are you here?" Onyx asks.

"We are here to help." Ruby states.

Onyx glares at them before sighing.

"Just don't get in my way." Onyx says.

Ruby nods and the rest do reluctantly.

World of Riders:

Team NWOR

Team NWOR, composed of Desmond Night, Mason Windsor, Onyx Mordant, and Rubine Solis, is one of the many teams to graduate from Beacon. They attended the same years that Team STRQ attended Beacon and Team VYRT attended Atlas. Team NWOR is definitely one of the strongest teams to ever attend any of the academies. They were a perfect team, always in sinc and working together. Dispite this teamwork, Night betrayed the team. He killed Windsor and went into hiding. Rubine and Onyx quickly drifted apart as Night hunted them down.
