The night was quiet. Clouds covered the sky blocking the glow of the moon. The main streets of Vale were bustling with traffic, both foot and transportation. But the backstreets, and alleys that few dared enter were quiet. Almost disturbingly so.

Among one of these back roads were 2 teens. One boy one girl.

The young woman had medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair was a light, mint-green cut with a straight fringe and bangs, as well as two long locks on each side, in the back. She wore two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of high-heeled shoes.

The rest of her attire consisted of an intricate white top and an olive-colored crop top, on the back of which was an emblem The emblem was in the shape of a cut gem. She also wore a gold, three-ring armband on her left arm and a string of gold beads near the same wrist. Her pants were white with brown chaps that end at her calves and an overlong belt, twice-wrapped, where she kept two pistols as well as a single pouch.

The young man had pale skin with gray eyes. His gray hair was partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. The boy was wearing a gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket, that covered his upper body. He had on a single notched belt with what appeared to be a sash or bandana draped over it. Protecting his arms are sets of rerebraces and vambraces. His legs were covered by black pants and a pair of black weaponized boots

The two teens made their way out the alley and entered as warehouse. Inside the warehouse was a sight to behold. Members of the White Fang were moving about loading and unloading crates with the Schnee Dust companies symbol on them.

The two walked through the warehouse without a care in the world. Soon they found themselves in front of Roman, Luxord, and a White Fang member with glasses. They were holding cards in their hands. Their faces were completely neutral not giving any hint of an emotion. The White Fang soldier flipped his cards revealing a full house. Roman smirked when before revealing his hand of 4 aces.

Luxord made a face that showed he was impressed while the soldier looked dejected. Roman smirked and reached for the lien stack on the table. But he halted when Luxord showed his hand.

A royal flush.

"Bullshit," Roman hissed. "No one gets that three times in a row,"

"Didn't Perry shuffle the cards," Luxord retorted, amusement laced in his voice. "And didn't you distribute them,"

"You!… Are not wrong," Roman admitted ending with less enthusiasm then when he started the accusation. The soldier chuckled. "Shut it Perry!" Roman ordered looking over at the soldier. That's when he noticed the teens.

"Oh she sent the kids again," He drawled out walking over to them. "The divorce must be hard on you two," He continued wrapping his arms around them.

"Spare us the thought of you procreating," The girl hissed with a shiver of disgust. "I don't need the nightmares,"

"True," Roman agreed. "But then again this might tell me where you've been," He said holding out a piece of paper.

Emerald began looking around in shock. "When did you-"

"I've been doing this before you were even thought of," Roman said. "Maybe you can learn a thing or two from me," He looked at the piece of paper with narrowed eyes. He looked over at Perry and jerked his head signaling him to leave. Perry nodded and walked away. "You mind telling me why you have this address,"

"Wouldn't you like to know," The girl snarled.

"Me, not really," Roman muttered. "But he might," He said tossing the paper too Luxord who caught it. He looked down at the address and all mirth he had was gone in an instant. He looked over at the two teen with a neutral expression.

"Did you go here?" Luxord asked calmly.

"Just handling one of his messes," The boy said with a shrug. "Or yours I guess,"

Roman observed the look the teens were giving luxord. They were looking down on him. Oh that wouldn't end well for them.

"Oh I can't wait to see this blow up in your face," Roman chuckled gaining the attention of the teens.

"What are you talking about," The girl asked condescendingly. "We just handled a problem you were supposed to," She accused with a superior smirk.

Oh he was going to enjoy this.

"Oh so you didn't hear about the change in orders about the target," He asked. Oh how he wished he had recorded the change in their faces. It was beautiful. He felt a pair of eyes on him. He looked up. Speaking of beautiful.

"He was no longer an assassination target," The teen turned around to see Cinder coming down the stairs.

"What are you talking about?" The teen boy asked cautiously noticing the look Cinder was giving him and the girl.

"She means is that he was not to be killed," Luxord answered. The respectful tone he tended to talk to everyone in was gone. There was an edge that they hadn't heard since he told Cinder his conditions to the partnership. "He was to be observed because my sources told me he was in contact with someone my organization has been trying to find," Luxord explained. "Did Roman not inform you of this?"

"Oh no I informed her," Roman said looking at Cinder. "And she understood and passed the word on to the White Fang,"

"Well why weren't we informed," The girl question looking over at Roman angrily.

"And why did you need to be?" Cinder asked looking over at the teens. "Because I believe I gave you both specific instruction to stay out of trouble,"

'BOOOM! All in the face,' Roman thought happily while giving the teens a condescending smile and laughing mockingly in silence.

Cinder turned her attention back to Luxord.

"My apologies," She said. "It seems in addition to wronging your side I need to tighten the leash on my subordinates," The boy didn't really show any reaction to the phrasing of the sentence but tightened his hands slightly. The girl looked down in complete shame.

"I would agree," Luxord nodded. "Which brings me to my next question," He turned his eyes on the teens. "About the kill," He began. "Did you confirm it?"

"Excuse me?" The girl asked with an edge in her voice.

Oh they were going in for a second round! Oh Roman was loving this!

"Did you confirm he was dead?" Luxord asked.

"He was bleeding out when we left," The teen said.

"So he was alive when you left," Luxord said.

"Pretty sure him bleeding out means he died," The girl snickered. Luxord narrowed his eyes.

Kids these days were so condescending. He much preferred the kids he fought when he first got here. At least they knew how to not over estimate themselves or under estimate their opponents.

"Hmm," Was all Luxord said.

Cinder raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

"Miss Fall I will let it slide this time as it seems they were going against orders all around," Luxord said. "But next time make sure that things are clear with them,"

"Of course Luxord," Cinder said before glaring at the teens. "I guarantee this will never happen again,"

"Thank you," Luxord nodded. "Now onto other matters,"

"Yes," Cinder agreed. "Roman it's time to move the Dust,"

"To where exactly?" Roman asked.

"To one of the White Fangs bases," Cinder explained. "Though Adam wants to double what we have now," She said. "So you're going to have to steal more,"

"Oh I got that taken care of," Roman said nonchalantly.

"Really?" Cinder questioned.

"Yeah called in a favor with a friend," He explained. "Let Adam know that he no longer has to worry about stealing it,"

"And why is that?"

"Why do we need this much Dust," Roman retorted. He hadn't been brought in on all the details of Cinders plan. So as long as he was out of the full loop no way was he giving up his contacts.

"Fair enough," Cinder said understanding Roman's intentions. "From this point on phase two begins," Cinder said as she looked out a window to see multiple bullheads heading to Beacon fly over. "Now I should get some rest," She said as she and the teens walked out. "It is a school night after all,"

(OPENING END)

UMPR

Ozpin looked out the window as he saw the bullheads dock and let out students from the other academies. And he saw the military ships fly through the air. Some docking here and the rest heading over to the city. He saw the students pile out of the ships as well as the soldiers that mingle amongst them.

"He's a workaholic as always,"

He turned his head slightly to see Glynda walking next to him.

"Well being a general as well as a principle must keep him busy," Ozpin commented. He looked down at his scroll and pulled up a camera to get a closer look at the students. He observed the looks of uneasiness some of the students had as they looked at the soldiers mingling with them.

"Though I admit he could have had more tact,"

The two turned around as they heard the elevator door open. Out walked a tall muscular man wearing a white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie, and a white glove on his right hand. His suit pants were the same color as his overcoat and tucked into silver boots accented in gray.

His hair was black, with silver and gray on the sides, while his eyebrows were solid black. Above his right eyebrow, was a silver strip of metal.

"Ozpin!" The man greeted as he walked in.

"Good to see you Ironwood," Ozpin said as he walked up to the man.

"It's been far too long my friend," Ironwood said with a smile. He turned to see Glynda walking over to them as well. "And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since I've see you,"

"James," She greeted icily. "I'll be right back," She said looking over at Ozpin. She walked past Ironwood and entered the elevator.

"She seems happy to see me," Ironwood said sarcastically.

"Well she's a little upset with you at the moment," Ozpin explained.

"For what?" Ironwood asked.

"She's on her way to get the reason," Ozpin said. "But in the meantime," Ozpin continued, changing the subject. "While it is nice to see you I'm curious as to why you came? I'd think a man of your position wouldn't have time to take a leave of absence,"

"Which is why I brought my work with me," Ironwood said simply.

"I can see that," Ozpin answered as three military ships flew overhead. "Surprising considering it's been harder to travel between kingdoms as of late,"

"You and I both know why I brought those men," Ironwood said seriously.

"I'm aware," Ozpin sighed. "But shows of force like this don't exactly scream we're at peace,"

"But if what Qrow told you is true," Ironwood began.

"Then we will continue training the best Huntsmen and Huntresses," Ozpin interrupted. "So that they may be ready for anything.

"Believe me I am," Ironwood answered. Ozpin quirked an eyebrow at the obvious challenge. He could play the game. His eyes then shifted to the elevator as it opened. But at a later time perhaps.

"Speaking of which," Ozpin continued. "This brings me to my second matter of business," Glynda walked next to Ozpin and slammed a small capsule on the table. Inside the capsule was a bullet.

"Would you mind telling me how this ended up inside one of my students,"

UMPR

"Ok so let me get this straight," Naruto said as he paced around the student lounge on their floor which was currently crowded with all their friends. "You have a daughter," He said looking over at Percy who was sitting between Thalia and Yang on the couch holding Sophia in his arms rocking her gently.

"Pretty sure we covered that," Percy said as he smiled down at his daughter who reached out to grab for him.

"And why are we just now finding this out?" Naruto asked.

"It didn't really come up in conversation," Percy answered. Naruto looked up at him like he had grown a second head.

"How was that supposed to be brought up?" Naruto asked.

"He brings up a good point," Thalia said as she wiggled her finger in front of Sophia as she tried to grab it.

"First time for everything," Ruby muttered as she moved through the kitchen.

"Shut it Red!"

"Make me whiskers!"

Naruto glared daggers at the girl as she began stirring something in a bowl who glared right back.

"How did this happen?" Jaune asked.

"Well Jaune," Yang began. "When a boy and a girl love each other very much,"

"I know that," Jaune interrupted. "Ah forget it," He finished as he scratched Morpho's head.

"I don't?" Caboose said. "What happens when they love each other,"

"Babies are born," Blake said simply.

"I thought they came from the stork,"

Blake looked up and gave the gunner a sideways look.

"Are you really upset by this or something?" Percy asked. "Does me having a child pose a problem," There was an edge in his voice.

"Yes!" Naruto retorted. Everybody looked up at him in slight shock. "Because if we had known about her we could have baby proofed the room before she arrived!" Percy blinked in surprise at the response. "I mean where is she going to sleep!?" Naruto said. "She has no crib and I've woken up many mornings with you on the floor!"

"You fall on the floor too," Roxas pointed out.

"Not to mention baby food and diapers!" Naruto said.

"Plus Weiss seems to be broken," Yang mentioned. The entire group looked over at Weiss who had a far off look in her eyes.

"Daughter," She muttered. "He has a daughter,"

"She's been repeating that since yesterday," Ruby said as she put a tray into the oven and walked over to join her friends. "I don't think she got any sleep last night,"

"Which reminds me why are we still talking about this?" Thalia asked.

"Sometimes it takes a second for things to sink in with this group," Blake answered. She glimpsed over at Caboose and Naruto. "Some more than others,"

"I heard that!" Naruto shouted. "Look I'm just saying next time let us know beforehand so we can make proper arrangements ok,"

"I can do that," Percy agreed.

"So what now?" Yang asked. "We got nothing else to do until they announce the assembly,"

"Maybe we can fix Weiss," Pyrrha suggested looking over at the still mumbling heiress.

"I got this," Nora said. Everyone watched as the N of JNPR walked over to the heiress and looked at her.

SLAP!

"OW!" Weiss shouted as she touched her red cheek.

"Your welcome!" Nora grinned giving a victory sign which Roxas returned.

"Attention will all students report to the auditorium," A voice said over the intercom.

"Ok then,"

"But my cookies!" Ruby protested.

"Just put them on a timer," Yang dismissed as she began dragging her still protesting sister out of the room. As everyone else followed.

UMPR

"First off I would like to welcome each and every one of you," Ozpin said as he spoke into the mic.

The students began cheering and clapping to show their excitement. Ozpin looked out at the students.

Atlas students in their uniforms all pressed and clean. They were dressed to impress. They themselves hadn't really cheered but clapped respectively, showing the manners they picked up in their kingdom. Though he did spot a peppy orange haired cat faunus that had decided to add some color to her uniform. Most likely not regulation but hey, he wouldn't say anything.

The students from Shade had been loud. You could see the air of freedom about them. Especially with them wearing their own clothing. He could see how there was no tension whatsoever with them and their kin. The only kingdom to not have any form of discrimination between races.

The students of Haven had varied. He could see the class system in their uniforms. Though he did spot of students of varied classes mingling around one another quiet easily and no tension. He could even see a couple of students who were more than likely Ruby and Naruto's age in the group. That would be good for them, to see other kids in a similar situation to them.

Then he eyed his own students. They were the most varied group. Amongst the 4 kingdoms Vale's tended to get the highest influx in students from other kingdoms. There reactions were random but behind it he could feel the since of competition they held. Some of them looking to prove something to their homelands. He eyed the freshmen. Some of them just looking for a good fight.

He saw the nonchalant looks in the 4th years eyes. This being there last year to participate but having done it so many times were more eager to simply impress the kingdoms and sponsors for next year when they became official huntsmen and huntresses.

The third years looked around as they eyed old rivals from previous years. Looking to hang out with old friends. The second years eyed teams from their freshmen year. Looking to settle scores and reignite rivalries made in their first year.

The first years were varied. Some were nonchalant (Roxas yawned lazily as he listened to Ozpin speak, some were in their own worlds, (Percy was thinking about a chance to go into to town to get proper care for Sophia and Tyson,) Others seemed…lost. (Caboose, being Caboose). And a few others were looking at the competition ready to show their stuff. (Naruto fad a feral grin on his face).

He saw some freshmen with superior looks on their faces. He wondered how long before those got wiped off their faces. He'd give it 3 days.

"I hope to see you all get along,"

The students watched as Ozpin and the staff walked off the stage and out of the auditorium leaving the students to disperse and go about their business. Most of which were giving off hostile looks. Well at least the first years where.

"This should be fun," Roxas muttered.

UMPR

"Hey Weiss you got any batteries," Percy asked as he walked up to the heiress. Weiss turned to look over at Percy. "I need some for the baby monitor," He explained. He didn't notice her flinch at the word baby.

"Maybe," She said curtly. "I'd have to check,"

"Perfect you were heading to the dorms anyway right?"

"Yes," Weiss said quickly.

"Awesome," Percy said. "Oh and if you want you can hold Sophia,"

'He has a daughter,'

That sentence was repeating in Weiss's head. It had been since she found out.

"Wait you left her alone?" Weiss asked.

"Oh no Thalia has her right now," Percy explained. "It gives me time to set up the crib,"

"What about baby proofing the room?" Weiss asked.

"That's been done,"

"Really?"

"We have Caboose as a teammate,"

"…True,"

"Yeah plus…" Percy began but came to a halt when he looked forward. Weiss followed his line of sight to see three figures staring at them.

The one in the middle was the biggest. He was tall and muscular with a light tan. Not as defined as Naruto or Percy's but still noticeable. His facial features through off the intimidation of his stature as it looked young. Almost like a baby.

The boy on the left had curly black hair, pointy ears giving him an elfish appearance. Unlike the one in the middle he was twitchy. Almost like it was impossible for him to stand still. He was also opposite of the boy in the center as he was scrawny. There was definite muscle definition but not nearly as much as most people their age.

Finally, there was a dark skinned girl with cinnamon brown hair and golden eyes that seemed to glow. She was the smallest of the group. She looked to be about Nora's height,

They all seemed to be talking but stopped when they looked over at Percy. Then the smiles came onto their faces. The girl was the first to run heading straight for the P of UMPR with the two boys right behind her.

She leapt into the air and tackled Percy causing him to stumble.

"Good to see you too Hazel," He chuckled as he returned the hug.

"It's so good to see you!" She cheered as she stared up at him.

"Percy!" The tall one greeted as he brought Percy into a bear hug that he returned easily.

"Frank!" Percy said.

"Don't forget me water boy," The elfish boy said with a wide grin.

"How could I flame brain," Percy said. "Good to see you too Leo," Percy saw Weiss in the corner of his eye as she observed their entire interaction. "Guys this is my friend Weiss Schnee," He introduced. "Weiss this is Frank Zhang, Leo Valdez, and Hazel Levesque,"

"Hello," Frank greeted with a small wave.

"Nice to meet you," Hazel greeted sweetly.

"Wanna go on a date," Leo asked. "Want's you go with me you'll be in for a treat," The elfish boy asked as he waggled his eyebrows.

Weiss gave the boy a deadpan expression.

"Ignore him," Percy said smacking him upside the head. "He was dropped on the head as a baby,"

"He's right," Leo agreed with no shame. "Even got the bump to prove it,"

"Percy guess what," Hazel began. "Frank is a team leader,"

"Really?!" He asked looking up at the bigger teen. "That's great man,"

"Yeah it's us three and beauty queen," Leo explained.

"Where is she anyway,"

"She decided to roam the place by herself," Frank explained. "Had some thinking to do,"

"For what,"

"She and Jason broke up,"

"What!?" Percy nearly shouted.

"It was mutual," Hazel explained. "He got some scholarship and they didn't want to do long distance,"

"Though he's probably somewhere around here as well," Frank added. "And she's probably thinking about that,"

"Ok," Percy said. "I can catch up with her later,"

"Speaking of I got that new Dust for Neró," Leo said.

"Great cause I'm pretty sure I could only use mine two or three more times,"

"Wait," Weiss spoke up. "He's the one who made that Dust crystal in your weapon,"

"You betcha senorita," Leo said speaking in a southern Vacuan dialect.

"Leo's a whiz with building weapons,"

"Yep," Leo agreed. "Ain't nobody a better mechanic than me,"

UMPR

Tenten was doing inventory when she felt a pang in her head. She looked around with narrowed eyes.

Someone was challenging her.

UMPR

"Achoo!" Ruby sneezed as she continued walking down the hall.

"Bless you," Pyrrha said.

"Somebody must be challenging me," Ruby muttered.

"I thought sneezing meant someone was talking about you," Pyrrha pointed out.

"I hiccup for that," Ruby said. "Unless it involves Naruto. Then I just get mad,"

"Fair enough," Pyrrha said with a small sweat drop. "So what are you reading?"

"Nothing at the moment," Ruby explained. "But I got a message from this small bookstore owner saying he sent me this old book that may be what I'm looking for,"

"Why have you been looking for it,"

"Well there was this story my uncle told me a long time ago and until a recently I had forgotten about it," Ruby began. "But there was something about the story that had me curious so I've been trying to find it all semester with no luck,"

"Until now that is," Pyrrha said.

"Yep!" Ruby cheered. "Or at least I hope it's not another dead end," She said. "I'm pretty sure companies are tired of me returning books,"

"Can you do that?"

"Within 24 hours with them undamaged yes," Ruby said. "Though I have read some stories I haven't read in a while or even heard of,"

"Really?" Pyrrha asked.

"Well there's-I'm telling you we're lost," A voice drawled out.

"Relax Bitters we're fine," A nonchalant voice pointed out.

"Remind me again why we decided to follow Palomo," The first voice asked.

"It's fine," A feminine voice said. "At least he's trying,"

"You're just saying that because he makes you tingle in the pants,"

"BITTERS!" A masculine voice shouted.

"What am I wrong!" The now identified Bitters countered.

"What does he mean tingle in the pants?" Ruby asked looking over a Pyrrha who's cheeks were red.

"Better to let your sister explain," Pyrrha said. She was not about to open up that can of chaos. Though she had a feeling she would be dealing with it in some shape or form in the near future anyway.

"Whatever," Ruby shrugged. "This is my stop anyway I'll see ya later Pyrrha," She said as she entered the library.

"Oh my Oum guys!" The feminine voice from earlier said. "It's Pyrrha Nikos!"

"No way," The one form earlier said. Pyrrha looked up to see the four teens turning the corner to look at her.

They were all in Atlas uniforms indicating their kingdom. But unlike the all and grey Pyrrha would have expected there's were more colorful.

The three boys kept the grey vests and white pants but they traded in their white button ups for different colored ones. Blue, orange, and a bluish green respectively. They all seemed to wearing some type of head gear as well. The green one had on a green stocking cap, the blue one had on a blue beret, and the orange one had on a hood indicating the button up under the vest might have actually been a hoodie instead.

The girl like the boys kept the grey but she traded in her white stocking for red ones along with a red button up under the vest. Her headgear came in the form of a pair of goggles over her eyes.

The girl looked over at Pyrrha and gave a beaming smile as she began to approach her. With the three boys following.

Well not like Pyrrha wasn't expecting to meet some fans amongst the other students.

UMPR

SLAM!

Ruby looked down at the giant book that was put in front of her.

It was old. The wear and tear on it was noticeable and the yellowing of the pages indicated that it was a very old book.

On the front she could just barely make out the title.

1001 legends of Remnant.

Not exactly what she had expected but ok.

She picked up the book and began to slowly make her way to a table.

Man this thing was heavy!

The young girl struggled to make her way to one of the tables. She tried to lift the book but that ended up throwing her off balance.

"Wah!" She shouted as she began to fall backwards with the book on top of her. But she found some invisible force catching her from behind. She was saved.

"Can you get off me," A voice grunted out.

"Oh sorry!" Ruby squeaked righting herself quickly. But found it was to quickly as the book ended up swinging her in another direction. "Waahh!"

"Seriously," The voice growled as they moved to catch her again.

"Thanks," Ruby said. "This thing is really heavy,"

"Really," The voice said sarcastically. "I didn't notice,"

"Would you mind helping me get it to a table please," She asked.

"Whatever," The voice said as he took the book from Ruby and moved it to a desk. Ruby took a moment to look at them. They were male. They looked to be about Naruto's height which wasn't much taller than her. They were in the Haven uniform though they seemed to have added a hoodie on top.

SLAM!

Ruby jumped at seeing him put the book on a table and turn around to stare at her. They had shaggy black hair and olive colored skin.

"Anything else?" He asked dully.

"No that's it but thank you," Ruby said shyly. 'C'mon Ruby you can do this! Normal knees!'

"I'm Ruby Rose," She greeted. The boy stared at her for a moment before sighing.

"Nico Di'Angelo," He introduced. "You know you look kinda young to be at Beacon,"

"Yeah I'm 15," Ruby agreed.

"Really," He said blinking. "So am I,"

"Really?" She asked somewhat excited.

"Yeah,"

"Oh that's great!" Ruby cheered zipping towards him in an instant. "It's so great to know I'm not the only one who got skipped up," She gushed. "Well there's Naruto too but he sucks,"

"I see," Nico said quirking an eyebrow. "So what do you need the gigantic book for,"

"Oh I'm doing a bit of a side project is all," She explained. "I'm looking for a fairy tale,"

"Yeah," Ruby said. Then she attempted to open the book but found it not budging. She got onto the table and began pulling up with both arms. Then the cover swung open sending Ruby sprawling backwards.

"Wah!"

Nico sighed.

UMPR

"I'm just saying maybe we should try out a new game," Naruto muttered. "Why are you so against this?"

"I'm not against it," Jaune replied. "I just don't want to take it out of the roster,"

"We have a roster for the games we play?"

"Yeah Ruby has the list,"

"So I'm never seeing it," Naruto stated.

"I'm sure she'll show it to you," Jaune encouraged.

"Doubt it,"

"Well th-oof!" Jaune was cut off when someone bumped into him.

"Sorry," A female voice said. Naruto grabbed the girl as she stumbled again while someone else grabbed her from the other side. Naruto looked up to see a girl with silky black hair in two ponytails.

"Are you ok?" He asked with concern on his face looking at the girl who had stumbled.

"Yeah I'm good," The girl responded with a smile. "Thanks for the help,"

"No problem," Naruto shrugged. "Your friend helped too," He said looking at the other girl who smirked at him.

"Well either way I'm all good now," The girl said before she began walking off.

"If you're sure," Naruto said.

"Thanks," The girl said with a soft smile before walking off. Her companion turned back and looked at Naruto and gave him a wink before skipping after her friend.

"They seemed nice," Jaune said.

"I think I just found a chick dislike more than red,"

"Huh?" Jaune said looking over at Naruto who had a scowl on her face.

"Here you go," Naruto said handing Jaune a wallet.

Wait…

That was his wallet!

"How did you get that?!" Jaune asked looking in his pocket in shock.

"I didn't," Naruto said.

"Oh," Jaune said. Then it came to him. "OOOHHHHH!"

"Don't worry," Naruto said before smiling evilly. "I returned the favor,"

UMPR

"Where did they go!?" The green haired girl asked angrily.

"What's with you Emerald" Her grey haired companion asked. He looked over at black haired girl who simply shrugged.

"I should have 5 wallets including my own," Emerald explained. "And now there all gone!"

"Wait are you saying someone pick pocketed you," The male chuckled. "Oh that is funny,"

"Shut it Mercury!" Emerald scowled. "But who-" She trailed off as she felt a folded up piece of paper in her pocket. She pulled it out and unfolded it. The black haired girl popped her head over her shoulder to read the message. What she saw made her smile widen.

"Watch your step next time,"

Emerald stared down at the paper and growled.

UMPR

"Girl in the tower, no," Ruby muttered as she flipped past a story. "The four seasons, no," She flipped again. "The shallow lake no," She said as she flipped through yet another story she had read. "This is gonna take forever," She groaned.

"What are you looking for anyway," Nico asked with a bored expression. How he got dragged into helping her he didn't know.

"I can't remember the name of the story," Ruby moaned. "And looking through each chapter is going to take forever!"

"It is a big book," Nico agreed.

"And we're not even half way through it,"

"To bad it doesn't have a table of contents," Nico said. "That would be helpful," He looked over at Ruby. Only to see the look on her face. "…You did check to see if there was a table of contents right?"

The red in Ruby's cheeks was all the answer he needed. The Haven student sighed before grabbing the book and turning back to the beginning and looking at the first few pages.

"Here it is," Nico said turning to the page. Ruby stood next to him as she scanned through the list and pages. Only to groan when she came to the end

"It's not here either," She said.

"Hold on," Nico said. "There are a few titles faded out," He said pointing to a few faded lines.

"Your right," Ruby agreed. "But we can still see the pages,"

"Graveyard of the keys," Ruby muttered as she turned to the first one. She flipped through the pages turning to the next one. "The man in the moon," Turn. "The two brothers," Turn. "Silver eyed warriors," Turn. "The sage who walked six paths," Turn. She stopped at the title she saw.

"This is it!" Ruby squealed.

Nico looked over as his curiosity had been spiked after being pulled into the strange girl's crusade.

"This is the story?" Nico asked in surprise looking at the title.

"Yeah," Ruby said.

"How can you be sure," Nico asked.

"I'm not sure honestly," Ruby answered. "But something in my gut is telling me to read it,"

"You sound like my cousin," Nico snorted.

"I'll take that as a compliment,"

"It's not,"

"So," Ruby said looking at Nico. "Wanna read it with me?"

Nico looked at her for a moment before shrugging. He'd come this far already.

He had nothing better to do anyway.

UMPR

"So you guys are from Vacuo huh," Yang said looking at the group standing across from her Blake and Caboose.

"Born and raised!" A boy with spikey brown hair said.

"Technically we were raised on an island on the outskirts of Vacuo," A brown haired girl said.

"Semantics!"

"Pretty sure that's not how that word's used," Blake muttered.

"Neat!" Caboose said. "Must have been a nice island,"

"It was great!" The brown haired boy said. "Though I do remember throwing a pineapple under the sea,"

"Wonder if a sponge lives in it," Yang said.

"What?" Blake asked looking at her partner.

"Just making conversation," Yang shrugged. "So you guys ready for the tournament,"

"Oh yeah!" The brown haired teen said. "And wait till you see our weapons,"

"Oh someone shows confidence," Yang said with a smirk.

"Well our weapons are super unique,"

"You're telling them too much," The other teen said.

"I don't know," Yang teased. "We've seen some pretty original weapons,"

"Have you seen one that can talk?" Caboose asked. "Those are the best ones,"

"Oh that would be so cool!" The brown haired teen agreed.

"You'll see soon enough," The white haired boy said. "Well we have to go," He said.

"Ah so you're the stick in the mud on your team," Yang teased. "Ours is away right now," Blake merely rolled her eyes at the implication of their teammate.

"Nice meeting you," The girl said as they turned to leave.

"They seemed nice,"

"Totally should have bet with him about original weapons," Yang said.

UMPR

"Oh I can tell their gonna be fun to fight," The brown haired teen said with an excited gleam in his eyes.

"They do seem nice," The girl agreed.

"We didn't come here to make friends," third companion said.

"Well technically," The brown haired boy said. "The Vytal festival is about bringing the four kingdoms together,"

"He's got you there,"

"Whatever," The grey haired teen sighed.

"So do you think their weapons are original," The girl asked.

"Maybe," The boy said. Then he gave a mischievous smile. "But I doubt they've seen a keyblade before,"

UMPR

"Ok what about card games?" Naruto asked.

"Not as original," Jaune countered.

"Ok video games," Naruto pointed out.

"We can never agree on a single game," Jaune replied.

"Board games,"

"Do you not remember the last time we played Monopoly,"

"Right," Naruto said remembering that day. "You know they still haven't fixed that body shaped hole in the wall,"

"No they did," Jaune said. "A new one was made," He explained.

"Really?"

"Yeah, it was Roxas this time,"

"No kidd-oof!" Naruto before a girl bumped into him.

"Oh sorry for that!" She said as she continued on. Naruto watched her walk away briskly.

"You forgot this," Naruto called. Jaune turned to see a wallet in his hand. The girl turned around and narrowed her eyes before smirking. She held out a scroll. Naruto narrowed his eyes.

Oh she wanted to play.

The two walked towards each other. When they were close enough Naruto moved to the side so the girl could continue on. She walked a few feet away before turning around. She held up a two wallets and two scrolls. She smirked.

'What do you got to say to that,' She conveyed mentally. Naruto held up a white band. She looked down at her shoulder to see her mistral arm band gone. She glared at him. Oh it was on!

Jaune watched the two of them approach each other once again when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see a boy with grey hair and the other girl from earlier.

"Names Mercury," The teen introduced. "This is Neo," He pointed to the girl next to him who gave a small wave. "And the one with the hurt pride over there is Emerald,"

"Jaune," Jaune introduced. "And the blond duking it out with your friend is Naruto,"

"Cool," Mercury said. Then the three of them went back to watching the two pick pockets continue their dual.

UMPR

Ren watched the scene unfold in front of them in silent horror. Roxas simply looked on with a cup in his hand in amazement.

"This can't be real," Ren said silently.

"I think it is," Roxas muttered as he took a swig from his cup.

"I like your hair!" Nora said looking over at an orange haired girl. It was done in four pigtails with light blue streaks in her bangs.

"Oh and yours is so vibrant!" The girl responded. "Are you into music?"

"Oh I think music is sensational!" Penny responded.

"Yeah never miss a beat," Nora agreed.

"No way!" The girl said. "That's what I say!"

"Oh sweet!" Nora agreed. "And aren't you dating the big boy in blue,"

"Do you mean Caboose?" Penny asked. "Do you know where he is?"

"Oh you have a boyfriend," The third girl asked.

"Yep," Penny chirped. "He's great!"

"Sounds funky," The girl exclaimed. "How have we never met in Atlas until now?!"

"Well no time like the present!" Nora said wrapping her arms around the two Atlisian girl's necks. "I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship,"

"I agree!"

"Sensational!"

Ren looked on in abject horror. Roxas took another swig.

"This is a nightmare," Ren whispered.

"This is funny," Roxas chuckled.

UMPR

"This is honestly incredible," Mercury muttered.

"What's the score?" Jaune asked. The boys turned over to Neo who held up a white board and a marker.

Naruto:34 Emerald 36

"Looks like your boys loosing," Mercury remarked.

"Wait for it," Jaune said. The tri watched the latest bout. Emerald turned around as she held up two scrolls once again as well as Naruto's tie. Naruto held out the wallets.

Naruto:36 Emerald 39

"Still losing,"

"Wait for it," Jaune said.

Naruto:37 Emerald 44

"That round was just sad," Mercury said. "Hey Emerald we shouldn't keep her waiting much longer so make this the last round. Emerald glared at him but nodded. "Sorry man," Mercury said. "Looks like this goes to us,"

"Wait for it," Jaune observed his friend. Then he saw the spark enter his eye.

"Now,"

The two approached each other. Emerald with a cocky smirk Naruto with no emotion. When they approached Naruto spun around her and continued walking while Emerald stuck her arm out.

The two turned around. To face each other. Emerald gave a victorious grin as she held out a tie the wallets, scrolls, and Naruto's goggles.

"Oh she got the goggles one handed," Mercury said. "That's 5 points," Jaune and Neo nodded. "And clothes were 2," Neo held up the score board. Emerald had 55 points. "Sorry man don't see how he's gonna come back from that,"

Naruto looked at the superior grin on her face. Then he looked over at Neo and motioned for her to come over to him. Neo quirked an eyebrow before walking to the leader of UMPR. He held his hand out and handed her something.

What she saw made her eyes widen. She began grinning madly before looking him in the eyes.

"Yep," Naruto said.

"What?" Emerald asked. "What did he get?"

Neo looked over at her making a face.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Emerald growled.

"Alright," Naruto shrugged. "Would you like to do the honors?" He asked Neo. "Be my guest," Naruto said giving a mock bow. Neo returned it with her own.

She looked over at Neo and held something out. It was an article of clothing.

"What is that?" Mercury asked. Then Neo stretched it out. Jaune's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Mercury's jaw dropped. Emerald was blushing madly.

It was her bra.

"How the hell!" Emerald began looking down. Her uniform was still buttoned up and everything!

Mercury was holding his sides from how hard he was laughing.

"Pretty sure that's at least 30 points," Naruto said with a smirk.

"I vote 50!" Mercury wheezed out before he fell to the floor. "Oh it hurts so good!" Jaune simply shrugged in agreement. Underwear didn't really affect him having grown up with 7 sisters. Some of them tended to walk around half naked, nothing he wasn't used too.

Neo nodded on agreement and changed the score.

Naruto:87 Emerald 55

"Thank you thank you hold your applause," Naruto said. He looked over at Neo as she handed him the white board having erased the score and replaced it with a Congratulations written in capital letters with confetti on it.

"I would like to thank our judges who were fair, and out score keeper for being my assistant at the end," He said as Neo pretended to wipe tears from her eyes and fan her face with her hand. "I couldn't have sold the impact at the end without her," He said. "So many more people to thank-"

"I'll kill you," Emerald snarled.

"Please come and try," Naruto returned easily, unfazed by her glare. But before the two could come to blows someone interfered.

"What's going on here?"

Emerald froze in place at the voice while Naruto quirked an eyebrow as the he saw everyone looking over at him. Or more accurately behind him. Where the voice had originated. Naruto turned around to see a woman with golden eyes and black hair. She was wearing a Haven uniform indicating her status and her skin was tan.

"Not much," Naruto responded easily "Just showing up one of your friends," The simply blinked at the answer before looking over at Emerald.

"Is this true?" She asked.

"Y-yes," Emerald answered hesitantly. Naruto noted the fear in her voice. And the wary look in Mercury's eyes. The only one who seemed relax was Neo. Well Jaune was too but Naruto wasn't counting him.

"Interesting," Then she made eye contact with Naruto. Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly. "Cinder Fall," She introduced holding her hand out.

"Naruto Uzumaki," He took the hand in his own and shook it.

Naruto didn't like this.

He could feel people's emotions. Side-effect of being a grimm so he knew someone's intentions whether they were lying or not. He knew Mercury and Emerald's intentions were nothing but bad. Neo's was more mischievous then purely negative but he knew more than likely she would be bad news if those two were her teammates.

It's also how he was able to pick Emerald out when she pick-pocketed Jaune. There weren't many people that could hide their intentions from him. And no one normally did.

So the fact that he couldn't get a read on this woman made him anxious.

Not to mention the strange feeling scratching in the back of his head. It was an intense feeling. One that had his instincts screaming. But he couldn't figure out why he was feeling this way. In-fact the only other, person who had ever made him feel like this was-

"Naruto!".

Naruto and Cinder turned to see Ruby approaching him with another man in a Mistral uniform by her side. Naruto backed up a few steps to gain some space as Ruby approached.

"Red, what is it," Naruto asked.

"I need to talk to-" Ruby began as she was only a few feet away.

Then it happened.

No one could describe it.

No one could fathom it.

One step into that bubble of personal space was like stepping onto the surface of the sun, unfathomable power bathing them so entirely that one would feel blinded from the source.

Ruby felt an urge deep within her. Her insides turned outside. Her voice echoed through her body. A dichotomy of unknown voices screaming at her to both defend and attack. But which was which?! Her heart galloped in her chest as the clock wound down on this multiple-choice of life or death. She could feel every synapse within herself dancing with excited electricity. And beneath all that urgency, she was completely unaware of the tingling sensation in her vision, steadily growing threatening to break through the dam that were her eyes.

Cinder felt something she thought she would never feel from anyone other than her master. Fear. Pure, unadulterated fear. The air turned bitter. A chill which rent aside the raw energy flowing all around her. But it was like lightning in a typhoon, and she couldn't see what was making her feel like this. She could feel flames licking her palms. Her subconscious had activated her abilities, clinging to them like a child to a parent.

Naruto's instincts were going haywire! Howling for blood! His natures, fighting amongst themselves. Crashing and rebooting and crashing and rebooting over and over again. The chains of his concentration becoming brittle, his other eight tails threatening to spring forth in those momentary lapses of control. Everything was on fast forward and the stop-button was nowhere to be found. His claws sharpening his whiskers growing. Holding everything in made every instant painful.

Ash filled their noses, their ears could smell black, raw energy echoing on their tongues, their eyes heard death, every fiber of their being screaming out for bloo-

Then it was gone.

As if it had never happened.

But they knew better.

To them the moment had lasted an eternity.

In reality it lasted one second.

"We're leaving," Cinder said curtly. She looked over at Naruto then Ruby. "It was nice to meet you," She greeted. "Hopefully we'll see each other again under better circumstances," Then she along with her team were off.

The others eyed them as they walked away.

Naruto and Ruby had their minds occupied on other things.

What had that been?

The hall was silent as the four remaining occupants stood in place.

Nico was the one to break the silence.

"So what was that about?"

Ruby looked over at him as if realizing she wasn't the only one in the hall.

"Beats me," Jaune said looking over at Nico. "I have no idea why they suddenly left like that,"

Naruto snapped his eyes over at Jaune.

Had no else felt that? Was he the only one?

But what caused it.

"So is now still a bad time," Ruby asked looking over at Naruto. Not realizing she had taken her first breath since the feeling.

"No," Naruto said slowly. "What did you want to talk about,"

"I'll show you," Ruby said. "Thanks for your help today Nico," Ruby looked over at her companion.

"No problem," Nico shrugged.

"Talk to ya soon," She said.

"I'd rather not," Nico said as he turned around and walked away.

"Well I'm gonna head back," Jaune said. "You guys coming?"

"In a minute," Ruby answered. "I need to talk to Naruto real, quick,"

"Ok," Jaune said before he headed to his dorm room.

"So wassup," Naruto asked when it was just the two of them in the hall.

"This," Ruby said setting the book on the floor and opening it up to a page she had book marked. Naruto knelt down to read the title.

The grimm-. The rest of the title was faded out.

"What is this?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes.

"Do you remember when I asked you if you always had nine tails?" Ruby asked. Naruto thought about it for a moment before it came back to him.

"Yeah," He said. "And you had another question but you never asked it,"

"Well this answered it," Ruby said pointing to the book. "See when you showed me all of your tails it brought back a memory," She explained. "It was my uncle telling me a story about a grimm that was above all other grimm. And it was powerful and there was always one way to distinguish it from the other grimm,"

"And how was that,"

"By the number of tails," Ruby answered. Naruto was quickly catching on.

"So you think I'm some kind of ancient grimm or like a descendent or something,"

"Possibly," Ruby answered. "I skipped through the story because I was looking for something specific," Ruby said. "And I found it,"

"And what's that?" Naruto asked.

"When they mentioned the grimm with multiple tails," Ruby began. "They were always being plural,"

Naruto's eyes widened. "So your saying…"

Ruby looked at him dead in his eyes.

"I think there are others like you,"

UMPR

"Where's your cousin at?" The blue haired teen complained.

"He said he'll meet us here," Sun said nonchalantly. "Your gonna like him,"

"You said that about your friends at Beacon," The teen said. "And I ended up covered in food,"

"Oh it's not like you were hurt," Sun countered.

"I have food in places they shouldn't have been,"

"That sounds perverted,"

Sun and his companion turned to see another teen walking over to them.

"Hey Sun," The teen said with a wave.

"Cuzo!" Sun greeted grasping his hand in his. "Good to see you again!"

"You too," The teen said with a wide grin.

"This is my partner Neptune," Sun greeted.

The teen looked over at Neptune and held his hand out.

"Nice to meet you," The teen greeted.

"You too…" Neptune trailed off.

"Oh right," the teen realized. "The names Roshi,"

(ENDING END)

AND DONE! Now THIS was a fun chapter. I have been waiting FOREVER to increase my characters from the other shows. Fun game who can tell me all of the characters I introduced and from which world. If you'll notice, there was a lack from one world. There's a reason for that.

Anyways. Friendships have been made as well as enemies.

Oh the most pivotal moment in the story. The meeting between Cinder, Ruby, and Naruto. This was an important moment in my story for obvious reasons. Seriously I asked so many people and received help from a few for that scene. Thank you Yiuchet and Kerberos for the wording and atmosphere. Thank you Blazeraptor54 and Keno02013 for your thoughts.

Well that's all I'll say for now. I have A LOT to say but then we'd be here forever. Instead I'll just make you all wait for the next chapter. Which might be awhile. Which brings me to an announcement I have to make.

Recently I joined the Navy. Now I don't leave for basic until the end of February. But that also means for two months I will be completely silent. And possibly longer depending in a few factors. Now that doesn't mean I'm done with fanfiction. I love writing to much to stop. But for a certain amount of time I'm on hiatus. Now hopefully this won't last for longer than 2-3 months but I won't know until after basic for sure. I'll be putting an update up in all my stories informing my readers as so you guys will have at least one more update before I leave. But I WILL be back.

Now that's all for now. Until next time everyone.

As always.

READ… REVIEW…and above all else… ENJOY!
