Volume 1-12: Oh Louve is Me (Part 1)


The next morning went as the same as usual with everyone getting up for another week of school.

"Okay Team SPIR up and at it. It's a new week and you know what that means." Star added who was already changed into her uniform.

"Yeah... another week of torture from Professor Port." Iona said groggy as she got up from her hammock. Pepper was the second to arise from her hammock and while Rina was getting up she was doing it slowly.

This brought to Pepper's attention. "Everything okay their Rina?" Pepper asked her partner.

"Yeah just... give me a minute." Rina said she got out her hammock making sure to land on her left leg and bringing her right leg down gently.

"Okay we got a full day ahead of us so we better get to it. Everyone get changed and we'll head down to breakfast." Star said.

Rina moved to get her uniform but she suddenly started feeling pain from her right leg as she nearly doubled over.

"Whoa there girl. You sure you're okay?" Pepper asked as she was able to stop her partner from fall over.

"Yeah... I think so." She said try not to scream in pain.

"I thought my aura should've healed my wound by now. I guess it only closes the wound but not fully healing it. Dang and Neo put so much work into patching me up too." She thought.

Pepper got a full look at her partner and notice some small bags starting to form under her eyes.

"You sure. Cause it looks like you haven't had a good nights sleep. You sure you're going to be able to make through the day?" Pepper asked concerned.

It annoyed Rina that having to rely on others to help her, and she found it rather frustrating "You don't need to be concerned for me. A bit of a pick me up and I'll be right as rain." Rina said she took her uniform and went to go get change in the bathroom.

It only made Pepper more concern seeing her partner walk with a limp on her right leg.

"Hey she'll be fine. Let's get changed and head down to breakfast." Star replied as the members got changed and went to the cafeteria.

=RWBY=

After getting their breakfast they sat together alongside team JNPR who'd recently joined them.

"So any leads on who killed the owner of that store yet?" Ren asked.

Star shook her head "No but if this doesn't stop who knows where the Spider will strike next."

"Hey I'm sure you'll find something or another." Jaune said in which Pyrrha nodded in agreement.

"Yes. The answer will appear in time. You can't rush it." She added.

"Well then its a good thing that we're here to provide answers." Ruby's voice said behind them as they sat down next to them in which Yang tossed a newspaper in front of them.

"Huh?" Star replied as she took the newspaper in hand as she looked at the front page and read it.

"A snake faunus by the name of Euryale Oboro was arrested last night for the murder of the owner of the Crystal and Weapon shop. An unknown tip came in describing Euryale as the killer and the one who robbed the shop. The family said that they are very grateful to whoever called in the tip and wish to one day thank them in person knowing that justice had finally been brought for their family." Star finished.

"Wow that was surprisingly quick. To think a snake faunus did that to the owner. Well I guess that wraps up that mystery." Iona said taking a sip of her drink.

However Nora notice something on the back page of the newspaper "Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company still missing. Rumors fly that it may be a kidnapping?" Nora read.

Star flipped over the page seeing a picture of the missing heiress. The picture shows her with her long white hair in an off center ponytail with bright pale blue eyes wearing a small grayish silver tiara hairpin.

"The heiress of the SDC Weiss Schnee was been missing now for nearly two weeks. Rumors of a kidnapping might be involved. However the CEO Jacques Schnee has no comments expect for the return of his missing daughter and will pay a reward of fifty thousand lien for anyone that can return Weiss Schnee alive and well." Star read which slightly made Weiss flinch.

"Hey the heiress has the same name as you Weiss." Yang said.

"Um... yeah... I guess." Weiss added trying to keep her composure.

"I wonder what happened to make her go missing. Did she run away?" Ruby asked about to take a bite into a glazed donuts. However Yang noticed that a bit of purple jelly was in it and she immediately stopped Ruby by grabbing her wrist before she could take a bite.

"Whoa there sister. That has grape jelly in it." Yang said in which Ruby wide eyed before inspecting the fluffy object. She did noticed the purple jelly in it and immediately placed it down.

"Thanks for that sis. That wouldn't have been pretty." Ruby said.

"Um... why its just a donut." Weiss replied slightly confused.

"Ruby has an allergy to grapes. Trust me last time she had one it nearly killed her. After that we had to throw out any grapes in the house including grape jelly." Yang replied.

"But what about strawberry's?" Prryha asked.

"That she's okay with." Yang answered.

"That's good to know. We don't want Ruby to have an allergic reaction." Pepper added as she finished her drink.

They spent a few more minutes of talking before having to go to their first class of the day. However what they didn't that Cardin also had the same newspaper that they were reading and is already putting the pieces together about someone, and grinned.

=RWBY=

Classes went by as usual until Star got to Doctor Oobleck's class as he was discussing the advantages of the faunus.

"Now then class who can tell me what main feature of a faunus that they have in their disposal?" Oobleck asked as he looked upon the class before choosing someone at random.

"Mr. Arc." He said as she slammed his hand right in front of Jaune which caught him off guard.

"What is the main advantage of a faunus?" He asked again.

"Um..." Jaune said trying to think but at the corner of the classroom Pyrrha was trying to help him by pointing toward her eyes. Jaune was able to understand part of it as he spoke.

"Something... to do with their eyes." Jaune said hestiantly.

"Yes that's partially correct but what is so special about their eye?" Oobleck asked again.

"Um..." Jaune started but he tried to think of the answer but couldn't.

"If I may sir." Weiss replied.

"Yes Miss Louve." Oobleck said looking directly at her.

"I believe the answer that Jaune is looking for is night vision." Weiss answered.

"Correct Miss. Louve, and you as well Mr. Arc for effort." Oobleck said.

"Now how'd the faunus use this feature they have to their advantage." Oobleck questioned.

Blake was the one to answer "They can sneak up on their enemy without being detected by others. Such as the general that was captured at Fort Castle which was a major turning point for the faunus in the Great War." Blake answered casually.

"Excellent Miss. Belladonna." Oobleck said.

"Yeah so what. They capture one of the generals and yet they didn't win the war now did they?" Cardin remarked in response.

Star gripped her pencil a little tighter at that remark "I really want to freeze this guy so that his teammate would have to chizzle him out." Star thought as she growled slightly.

"I suppose you have a comment on this Mr. Winchester." He said.

"Well even though they captured one of the high ranking generals it still ended in the faunus losing the war but the humans felt pity on them and gave them the continent we know of that's called Menagerie." Cardin remarked.

Weiss snorted a laugh which caught his attention.

"What's so funny Weiss." Cardin replied.

"Oh it's just funny that you would say that. I bet you were going to say that it would've been impossible for a high ranking 'general' to be capture by a bunch of 'animals'. Right." Weiss remarked with a knowing smirk which got some of the class talking.

That only seemed to have angered Cardin as he was about to get up from his seat Oobleck stopped him.

"Please sit back down Mr. Winchester class hasn't ended yet." Oobleck said as class continued.

By the end of class the students were exiting the room. Weiss was about to leave but was stopped by Cardin.

"If you don't mind I would like to get past." She said as politely as she could.

Surprisingly Cardin let her pass "Whatever you say..." Cardin began as Weiss went by him.

"Schnee." He whispered just enough so Weiss could hear as she froze in her tracks as she was about to head out the door of the classroom.

He smirked knowing he'd hit the nail on the head as he went past Weiss who was still frozen in place.

"How did he..." Weiss thought trying to process what he had said.

"If you don't want your secret getting out you do what I ask. Got it." He whispered as he took Weiss silence as the answer he wanted and proceeded to head out of the door. Weiss stood their for few seconds as she then headed toward her next class in a hurried pace going right past Pepper and Star not even looking at them.

"Hey Weiss I was hoping if..." Pepper began but Weiss didn't answer her as she just kept on walking to her next class.

"Okay... that was rude." Star replied folding her arms.

However to Pepper she found it odd that her friend would just ignore her like that but she'd didn't want to dwell on it too long as she had another class to head to.

=RWBY=

It was now Combat Training as already Nora and a member from Cardin's team were brawling it out... or more like it was sending Cardin's teammate to slaughter as Nora fired another round of grenades at her opponent which connected sending her opponent in the air before crashing on the ground knocking him out.

Miss Goodwitch checked on him before making a decision "While Mr. Rush does have aura left he is currently unable to continue their Nora Valkyrie wins by knockout." Glynda declared.

"Ah yeah don't mess with me!" Nora declared as she headed back to her seat while her opponent was picked up by his teammates.

"Now then who would like to..." Before Glynda could say anything Weiss stepped into the combat arena her weapon drawn.

"Miss Louve are you volunteering?" She asked as Weiss nodded.

"Very well who would like to be her opponent." Glynda asked looking for anyone else.

"Actually I have an opponent in mind." Weiss declared.

"Oh and who would that be." Glynda added.

Weiss was about to decide but remembering the events before the class began.

[Flashback]

It was twenty minutes until Combat Training, and Weiss was preparing for the class as she readied her gear that is until her scroll buzzed as a text came through. It was from Cardin.

"Hey I noticed that Rina girl has been walking with a limp on her right leg. I believe she's weaker on that side. See if you can do some damage to it or you can refuse and your secret will be known. Your choice Schnee." The text said as Weiss clutched it in her hand threatening to break it.

However she knew if she didn't that would mean Cardin would let her secret get out about really being a Schnee. She put her scroll away as she finished prepping her gear.

"I guess I've got no choice." Weiss said to herself as she exited the changing rooms.

[Present]

Weiss pointed to a specific opponent "Rina Trill. I challenge you." Weiss declared.

At first Rina was shocked that Weiss would chose her considering after the last time the two went head to head.

"You really want to fight me again?" Rina asked confidently but Weiss said nothing in response as she stood their waiting for her to approach.

Rina smirked a little "Fine. I won't go easy on you."

However as Rina approached she was still walking with that limp on her right leg in which she winced a little every time she'd walk.

"Are you sure you'll be able to fight Ms. Trill?" asked Goodwitch.

"I'll be okay. This shouldn't take too long." Rina said confidently as she drew her sword.

However Weiss was ready for the battle to begin as she gripped her gunblade with both hands, relaxed her shoulders, and put her left foot behind her. Weiss took a deep breath and let out slowly as she focused on her opponent.

A shiver went down Rina's spine as Weiss gaze fell on her.

"Okay either its cold in here or Weiss is about to get serious." Rina thought.

"If both fighters are ready. You may begin." Glynda said and in a flash Weiss charged at Rina her blade at the ready.

Rina quickly defended the attack but noticed where Weiss was swinging at.

"Is she aiming for my right leg? I better be careful here." Rina thought as she tried to get some distance away from Weiss. However that proved to be impossible as Weiss continued to push through Rina's defenses as she delivered a diagonal slash which took some of her aura.

Rina jumped back a little but landed with her right leg which screamed in pain as she staggered trying to gain her footing. Weiss took the opportunity to strike again but aimed directly at the wounded leg landing a sliding slash at Rina.

While Rina's aura did take some of the blow her leg was already weakened making her fall to one knee.

In the stands Star was half tempted to stop the match as she saw Rina slowly trying to get to a vertical base.

"If this keeps up Rina's not going to last much longer." Star thought.

Rina got up to a vertical base and then launched herself at Weiss as she swung her sword at her. However Weiss saw it coming as she ducked the attack and delivered another slash at her right leg.

The momentum Rina had was gone as her right leg gave out as she crashed to the ground hard.

"This match is over." Weiss simply stated but what she didn't know was that the edge of her gunblade dripped blood from its tip.

"Like heck is over." Rina said as she tried to get to her feet but failed as she fell back down.

"I suggest you yield. You are unable to move without your right leg. I've taken away your mobility. Miss Goodwitch I suggest you call the match before something else happens." Weiss stated.

"Very well..." Glynda said but before she could say anything else Rina stopped her.

"Don't... stop this... match." Rina grunted as she somehow got to her feet even with her leg screaming in pain.

Pepper looked with worry "Come on Weiss just walk away. Quit being stubborn Rina." She muttered.

Weiss wanted to walk away and just let it be that but then she took a glance toward Cardin who was smirking at her as he gestured her to finish it.

"Fine... but you were warned." Weiss said as she readied her gunblade as she pulled the trigger on her gunblade. The blade sudden became engulfed in a green hue as she pressed the trigger as a gust of wind blasting her forward at Rina at tremendous speed.

Rina hardly had time to react as Weiss slashed at her right leg again. This time Rina screamed in pain as her leg finally buckled under her weight as she fell to her side clutching her leg as the wound reopened.

Weiss then approached Rina her weapon pointed directly at her.

"Well... do you yield or are you going to be stubborn and make it worse for you." Weiss replied as she pulled the hammer on her gunblade.

Rina stared at Weiss as she weighed her options and given her situation she made her choice.

"I... I yield." Rina said regrettably as Weiss lowered her weapon and then stepped away.

"Weiss Louve wins by surrender." Glynda declared.

"May we have someone take Miss. Trill to the nurses office." She added as Pepper came to get her partner as she scoped her up.

Pepper felt something watery as she noticed Rina's right leg was bleeding.

"How'd she injure her leg like this. It was fine yesterday." Pepper thought but she didn't dwell on it as she had to get her partner to the nurse.

Star for the most part was enraged it took her all she had as she tried not to remove Weiss head from her shoulders.

Meanwhile Weiss returned to her seat without much of a word to her teammates as they looked at her with some concern as Weiss looked away from them and more importantly Cardin as he smiled with satisfaction in his eyes.

=RWBY=

Classes were finished and everyone was at dinner but Star was still angry after what happened today.

"She didn't have to nearly chop her damn leg off! She could've just let Glynda call the match but no she had to add insult to injury literally." Star said as she chomped down on her dinner.

"I spoke to the nurse. While Rina's aura did heal the wound she has a torn tendon that'll take some time to heal." Pepper said.

"How long is some time?" Iona asked.

"A week at best." Pepper added.

"And all because of Weiss that she won't be able to walk for a week." Star growled.

"Yeah but I'm still wondering one thing." Pepper said.

"Yeah and what's that?" Iona asked.

"How did Rina get that injury in the first place?" Pepper replied.

"I mean she was fine yesterday but this morning she had that limp. Don't you think that's a little strange." She added.

"Well... it is a little strange I guess. But I think I'm more angry at Weiss than anything." Star added as she looked toward where team RWBY was minus Weiss.

"Speaking of her where'd she went to." Iona added.

Pepper wondered that too "Its not like Weiss to skip a meal." Pepper thought as she glanced around the room and noticed that Cardin was missing too.

"Even Cardin's missing... something not right about this." Pepper thought as she ate her dinner.

Meanwhile with Weiss she had to met up with Cardin before dinner started which wasn't by her choice.

She spotted Cardin waiting for her as she approached him.

"What do you want now Cardin? It's bad enough that you wanted me to hurt Rina but now I think her leader wants my head." Weiss growled.

It didn't seem to bother him all that much as he only smirked "Oh c'mon you won the match did you not. That got to make you feel some satisfaction that you beat her after she beat you on the first day." He said.

"I feel disgusted having to do that." Weiss growled.

"Oh c'mon don't be like that. Don't forget I still have something about you that no one knows." Cardin reminded.

Weiss slightly growled at that as she rolled her fingers into a fist but she couldn't do much.

"I'm guessing you want me to do something else then." Weiss said restraining herself.

"Well... I couldn't help over hear but that little red has an allergic reaction to grapes. I want you to bring a small 'desert' to her if you know what I mean." Cardin said.

Weiss wide eyed as she remembered what Yang said this morning.

"Trust me last one she had nearly killed her." She remembered Yang saying.

"Are you out of your mind!? If you heard Yang then you know what she said that the last one nearly killed her." Weiss replied as she was about to walk away.

"Don't tell your going to back out are you. I'm pretty sure Professor Ozpin would like to know your using a fake name to sneak your way into Beacon." Cardin added which made her stop in her tracks.

Cardin smirked at this "I'll provide it you just deliver it. Got it." Cardin ordered as Weiss gently nodded.

"Good. Oh and that assignment that Oobleck has for me I need you to take care of that too okay buddy." Cardin simply said as he patted her on the shoulder then walked past her into the cafeteria.

Weiss just stood their her hands in a fist shaking with anger then using her right arm she swung it toward a nearby wall with a solid thud as her fist impacted the wall. She wanted to scream out of pain but it would do very little good knowing that if she didn't do as Cardin said she would be revealed as a Schnee and Ozpin will have her expelled from the school due to the forge documents which might lead to Pepper getting expelled as well.

She removed her fist from the wall as she looked at her fist. She managed to bust open two of her knuckles of the first and middle fingers. She slowly unfolded her fist carefully as she placed it on her head trying to think.

"What am I going to do?" Weiss whispered as she headed back toward the cafeteria.

However unknown to her a certain rabbit faunus had witnessed the whole thing between Weiss and Cardin.
