These are little transitions during the time Joseph is in Beacon. Some will be tied into the story (Canon) . Others are just shitpost ideas my friends and I came up with (Non-Canon).

Speaking to self

Speaking with Ghost


The Perfect Cookie (Canon)

After assisting Lillie and Taro-8 eliminating the Warden in the Prison of Elders with the help of the Drifter, Joseph returns to team RWBY's dorm. He whiffs up a faint sweet fragrance. "Ooh, someone's baking," Joseph says. He follows the sweet scent and opens the door to the common room. He sees Ruby in the kitchen, baking something.

"Hey Joseph, What brings you here today?" Asks Ruby.

"Well, I followed the sweet smell coming from the kitchen." He sees the ingredients on the counter. Flour and chocolate chips? "Do my eyes deceive me? Are you making chocolate chip cookies?" He asks in interest.

"Yes, I have a bit of a sweet tooth when it comes to cookies." Ruby blushes in embarrassment.

"Lillie, a dear friend of mine, loves cookies. She made a recipe that'll make anyone be greedy enough to take her cookies and keep them for themselves," Joseph laughs.

"Really!?" Ruby's eyes sparkles her mouth watery.

"Yeah, here I'll show you her recipe. Xeno," Xeno materializes a piece of paper that shows the ingredients and passes it to Ruby.

Ruby looks at the paper, "huh? Brown sugar? I don't have brown sugar and bread flour? Most of the ingredients here I don't have! Aww" Ruby frowns.

"Ah don't worry Ruby, I gotcha covered. Xeno can materialize the ingredients that are needed, except the brown sugar though, I can improvise with that." Joseph says. "You have molasses?" He asks

"Yes it's in the cabinet to the left," Ruby points to where the molasses is.

Joseph walks to the cabinet. He opened the cabinet door and grabbed the molasses. He scooped up a cup of sugar and placed it in a separate bowl and poured the bottle of molasses on top of the sugar, mixing the two ingredients to make a dark brown sugar. "Xeno, materialize my mini fridge here real quick,"

Xeno materializes Joseph's mini fridge he keeps in his house.

Joseph grabs the rest of the missing ingredients as He and Ruby starts to work on his wife's godly cookies.

As the minutes goes by, the rest of team RWBY and team JNPR watches Joseph and Ruby bake the cookies. After an hour the cookies were now ready.

Joseph pulls the four trays of cookies, holding about eight cookies each. The smell of the chocolate and the cookie dough made Nora go ahead and try to jump ahead to steal the cookies as Joseph pulls them out, having Jaune and Ren pulling her back.

Joseph places the four trays on the counter and starts to set the timer, "I know you will hate me for this, but we will need to wait for it to cool down just two minutes, that's all." Joseph sets the timer for two minutes and they wait.

The fragrance from the cookies was literally making Nora go insane, she was ready to pounce at the tray when the timer goes off.

Joseph got up and grabbed nine cups and passed each cup to everyone and filled it up with milk. As soon he placed the milk back in the fridge, the timer went off and everyone grabbed a cookie or two, Nora hoarded a whole tray for herself. Everyone laughed as they enjoyed the cookie.

"Your friend Lillie sure knows how to bake a cookie! This recipe is gold!" Yang says.

"Why is she not famous? She could make a fortune," Nora said

"Mmhmm!" Ruby nodded as she stuffs her mouth with cookies.

"Nope, never gonna happen," Joseph shook his head, "because if that ever happens, I have to wait in a line and I have to pay her!"

Xeno materializes in front of Joseph, "Jeez Joseph, never knew you were the greedy type…"

"What can I say? She makes very kickass cookies!" Joseph says. Everyone laughed. If you could see their faces Lillie, they love your fancy recipe. Joseph smiles and continues to eat some cookies.

In the World of the Traveler, Earth's orbit…

Lillie sneezes as she reads her book inside her jump ship as it drifts in Earth's orbit.

A female Ghost materializes next to her, "are you sick Lillie?" She asks.

"Ah no, no I'm not Harper." She blushes. "I think Joseph is thinking about me…"

"Aww how cute." Harper says.

Sparring Partners (Not Canon)

It was Friday and Joseph decided to do sparring sessions for today's activity.

"Alright!" Joseph says, "we're going to be sparring one another! Grab a partner and we'll get to it!"

The eight decided to pair up with their teammates. Ruby and Weiss, Yang and Blake, Ren and Nora and Pyrrha and Jaune. They start to fight one another.

Joseph watches as his students fight each other. "Y'know, I wish I had a sparring partner." Joseph says.

"Why not spar with Taro?" Asks Xeno.

"Hmm, well he's a bit of a softy when in the Crucible, he literally gave a hand to his opponent he almost killed. Yet, he is ruthless with the Cabal. Never seen that in a Titan before…"

"He is an odd one, but yet you chose him to be in your team."

"He's a likable guy! He has that Titan code with a mix of Hunter attitude in him." Joseph smiles and sighs. "Such an odd Exo… glad he's in my team."

The entrance of the Auditorium was kicked open. The students stopped and Joseph drew Ace to the door.

A Titan who's helmet always stays on, marches his way into the Auditorium. This Titan's helmet has horns but the right part is missing. "Joseph!" He yells

"Shaxx?" Joseph says as he lowers Ace

His friend Taro hides behind Shaxx, "hey there buddy," says Taro.

"Taro? Why are you guys here?" Asks Joseph.

"I am here to teach Taro on how to be a Titan! He is ruthless in the field but weak in the Crucible!" Hearing Shaxx's voice is like miniature earthquakes on the floors.

Taro starts shaking his head, and lips out "I don't want this!"

"Now then! Let's show them how ruthless you were in the Crucible Joseph!" Shaxx roars.

"Who's that Joseph?" Asks Ruby,

"Stay back Rose Petals, things are going to get ugly," Joseph says. He moves up a few steps, "Shaxx, could we do it, y'know, ANYWHERE BUT HERE? There are students here!" He yells

"Enough talk! Let's trade punches!" Shaxx starts to run towards Joseph, arc light surrounding him. Laughing.

"Dammit Shaxx!" Joseph says in frustration. Joseph charges towards Shaxx with arc light surrounding him as well.

The two clash in a bloody fist fight for hours.

Winchester's Redeement (Canon)

After the incident with Jaune continuously being bullied by Cardin, ending it by Jaune saving him from an Ursa when gathering red sap, Joseph noticed that Cardin is starting to fall behind classes.

"He became less of a bully, but his grades are dropping noticeably…" Joseph assesses Ozpin.

Ozpin scratches his chin, "Yes, I see… what are you suggesting to do?" he asks.

"Well, I want to help the poor bastard. He looks so miserable, I've even noticed that his team members aren't even listening to him."

"You think he would listen to a person who stopped his heart," he slightly laughs.

"Heh, well, I surly doubt it. But, the kid is going to drop and the humiliation will never fade away. I've seen it with many people I know. Some even took their own lives to relieve them from the humiliation. I want to prevent that." Joseph says.

Ozpin smiles, "You have a big heart Joseph. I respect that." he says

Joseph nods and walks out of Ozpin's office, "Wish me luck," he says.

Joseph walks around campus, and looks for Cardin.

Jaune walks with Pyrrha and they notice Joseph walking around the area.

"Hey it's Joseph!" Jaune says.

Pyrrha notices that Joseph is looking for something or someone. What's he doing?. "Let's follow him." She pursues Joseph and watches him from a distance.

They followed Joseph on the roof of the dormitories.

"H-hey Pyrrha!" Jaune follows Pyrrha, "What's going on? Why are we following-"

"Shhhh, look!" She points towards Joseph as he walks to Cardin who's sitting on the edge of the building.

"Cardin," Joseph calls, "what brings you in this… depressing atmosphere?" He jokes.

"What the hell do you want?" He said sharply.

Joseph tosses a bag of cookies that he made secretly and a bottle of water to Cardin, "some refreshments. Enjoy it," he says.

"I don't want your charity!" He throws the bag of cookies back violently towards Joseph. "I don't know what you're up to but it's not going to work!" He yells.

"Oh c'mon, it's just cookies that I made. Here another bag of cookies." Joseph tosses another bag of cookies.

"I said I don't want it!" He throws it back but Joseph grabs another bag of cookies.

He chuckles, "Trust me, they are not poisonous, just try it out!"

"What do you want from me? If you want to be my friend, then you should forget it!" He throws the bag back at Joseph back to Joseph but he continues to toss a new bag of cookies.

Joseph laughs, "friend? Who said that I wanna be your friend? I want you to up your game Cardin."

"What?" He snaps,

"You've been less of a bully, that's a good thing, but your grades have been dropping noticeably and your team doesn't even view you as a leader anymore!" Joseph continues to toss new bags of cookies.

"So, is that all? Joseph Anderson, all worried about a student about failing." Cardin mocks.

"Yeah actually, you may bullied me on the fifth day of school, but that does not mean I hate you. What I want from you, is to be better," Joseph sits next to Cardin. "Tell me Cardin, with one hundred percent the truth, what is wrong?"

"I just… I just feel discouraged, after failing my attempts on getting back on that damn girl Pyrrha, my team doesn't see me as a true leader." He says,

"Hmm, well I'm not going to help you 'getting back' on my friend and student. But, I can help you with everything else that doesn't include bullying. You are a troubled boy Cardin, and I am willing to shine the correct way for you." Joseph gets up and pulls Cardin up as well.

"Really? Why are you helping me, after what I tried to do to you?" Asks Cardin.

"Well, I don't even hate you so that's one, another is that, I have leadership experience. I once led a team into small combat activities. I was a semi-good leader. But, an event happened and they all died." Joseph looks down.

"I-I'm sorry to hear that…" Cardin says.

Joseph chuckles softly, "wow, that's a first, hearing you all concerned. But, I want to make sure you Cardin, Ruby, and Jaune don't make the mistakes that I have made. So, if you need help, mentally or physically, my doors are always open." Joseph gets up and passes him two more water bottles. "You're gonna enjoy those cookies, a friend gave me this kickass recipe and it's like your in heaven." Joseph says.

Cardin looks at the bags of cookies, he grabs a cookie from one of the many bags that Joseph tossed him and takes a bit. His mouth melts, and starts to eat even more, "My god, they're delicious!" He starts to take in more cookies. He smiles "thanks Joseph!"

"No problem! Just share with your teammates, say that you made it." Joseph winks "Now then, gotta go, enjoy your day Cardin. Good luck." Joseph walks to the edge of the building and jumps off, screaming with excitement, double jumping before he hits the ground.

Jaune quietly closes the door, "wow, I never seen Cardin like that before."

Pyrrha smiles, "I guess Joseph steered him in the right direction."

"Yeah, I like this Cardin better." Jaune laughs, "Joseph sure does a dark past, but he always likes to help them so they won't make the same mistake like he did." Jaune says.

"We should go before Cardin opens the door,"

Jaune nodded and the two walked away from the scene.


"What's your family like miss?"

"Well, my husband is a drunky but has a big heart, my daughter is just the cutest thing! She's like a little me,"

"Hahaha, you're funny. I can't wait to be out of this place, it's scary,"

"I know, me too." - Lost child to the Huntress
