Hey friends! Thought I forgot about you? This oneshot is a special birthday present to TypicalHyphen24 a dear friend who has been nothing but supportive and amazing. Happy Birthday!

P.S. This oneshot is based on an animated web series called RWBY. Anna is the older sister in this oneshot but Elsa is still very much over protective. And I'm going to bend some of the rules in the RWBYverse.

Legends, stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.

Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful. But he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness, creatures of destruction. The creatures of Grimm set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.

However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named, "dust." Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness and in the shadow's absence, came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.

Even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone… darkness will return. So, you may prepare your guardians… Build your monuments to a so-called free world, but take heed… There will be no victory in strength.

But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a small, more honest soul.

"Woah, woah, woah, back up. We got accepted into Beacon Academy?!"

Daniel Fenton flinched at his friend's loud exclamation, "Tucker please, keep it down." The teen was about 16 years old and wore a white t-shirt with a black jacket, matching with his dark raven hair with it's white streak. Tucker raised a brow at the statement, "Why are you not yelling this at the top of your lungs? Danny, we are moving up two years! How did this even happen?!"

Danny, Sam, and Tucker all sat in Danny's room while he packed for the Academy. The three teenagers were currently enrolled in Signal Academy, a primary combat school. Beacon was highly praised and well known advanced combat school, made for training hunters and huntresses. What are hunters and huntresses you ask? They are heroes, protectors of civilization from the forces of evil.

"Well, there was a scout from Beacon here last week to look at our graduating class. Instead they saw us practicing and well, one thing led to another…"

"Well, why are you not bouncing off the walls?! Do you not want to go?" Tucker asked.

"Of course I want to go," Danny answered, "It's just… I just don't want to be the weird kid again." Tucker shook his head, "Nobody thought you were weird at Signal." Danny shot Tucker a "you're kidding me right?" look. Sam shrugged, "Hey maybe you can show off a bit at Beacon."

"I don't want to show off," Danny huffed, "I just… I don't know. I have always wanted to go to Beacon." Sam slung an arm around his shoulders, "That's the spirit. Plus we'll have Jazz in our grade. That'll be different for sure."

"Different as in she'll be hounding us about everything," Tucker huffed, "I know she means well but, well you know."

Danny smiled at his friends, "At least I'll have you guys with me."

"I can't believe my baby brother is coming to Beacon with me!"

Danny and Jazz Fenton were currently on an Air Bus on their way to the Academy. And Jazz was currently crushing Danny in a giant huge. "Jazz," Danny huffed as he pulled away, "It was nothing okay?"

"But it was something!" Jazz argued excitedly, "I saw some footage of your training."

"You what?!" Danny exclaimed with wide eyes. Jazz shrugged, "The scout from Beacon asked me a few questions about you and showed me a video," her bright smile came back in an instant, "Oh, aren't you excited?"

"Of course I'm excited. But you have to remember, I was moved up two years. I don't want anyone to think I'm special."

"But you are special!"

Danny sighed, "Look, I just want to blend into the background. You know, be normal." Jazz shrugged, "Alright. But my friend from Signal has a little sister who was also moved up. Don't know why though."

Suddenly, a hologram of a blonde woman showed up in front of them, "Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attending this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsman and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect our world."

Jazz's face lit up as the hologram disappeared. She rushed to the window, "Danny, you've gotta see this." Danny followed her to the window. A small smile graced his lips when he saw the aerial view of the Vale Kingdom, his home.

It didn't take long for the Air Bus to reach the Academy. Once the siblings got off of the aircraft, they both stared in awe at the campus before them. Light stone paved walkways, green lawns, a genuine castle-like appearance. But what caught the most attention was Beacon Tower. The tower was crowned by a number of green spheres or lights, as well as an intricate clockwork mechanism consisting of many interlocking cogs and gears.

"Woah," Danny breathed. Jazz only nodded in agreement. "Danny!" He looked around to see who called his name and turned to find Sam and Tucker waving at him. He waved back but before he could go to meet them, his sister placed her hand of his shoulder.

"Oh, look! It's my friend from Signal! You know that one who has the sister your age," Jazz grabbed his arm, "Come on I'll introduce you!"

"Jazz! Wait!"

But before he knew it, he was being dragged across the campus, sending a helpless gaze toward Sam and Tucker while mouthing "I'm sorry" to them. "Anna! Over here!" Jazz called out. Finally, Jazz let go of Danny and he regained his footing. He looked up to meet two pairs of curious blue eyes. One girl, who seemed to be Jazz's age, was tall and had long red/strawberry blonde hair. She wore a green top with satin straps and dark pants. But the girl standing next to her is who caught his eye.

She had ivory skin, fairer than the older girl, and long platinum blonde hair that was tied back in a loose french braid. She wore a blue shirt with sheer off the shoulder sleeves and white high waisted shorts. Two white empty sheaths rests on each of her hips with straps and gear wrapping around her legs. On her feet were white boot wedges. Does she fight in those? Danny wondered silently.

"Anna this is my brother, Danny," Jazz introduced. Danny snapped to attention, not really noticing the two older girls had been talking. "Hi," he waved. The older girl, Anna, beamed back at him, "This is my sister, Elsa." Danny met the beautiful blonde's gaze and she looked away shyly. Butterflies nervously welled up in his stomach her he adorable behavior. He felt his sister nudge him forward a little bit as the 18 year olds began to catch up.

He gave Elsa a small smile and she gladly returned it. There was a long silence between them before she spoke, "So, how'd you get moved up?"

"A scout saw me in combat practice," he answered sheepishly, "You?"

"High power semblance," she replied quietly. Before they could continue their conversation, Anna interrupted. "Come on, Elsa," Anna said, taking her sister by the arm, "We gotta get to the main hall for orientation."

"It's like a big slumber party!" Anna plopped down next to Elsa. After Headmaster Ozpin had given his speech, the first year students had made their way to a big hall where they would all be sleeping. After initiation tomorrow was when they would be assigned rooms. Everyone had gotten into their pajamas and were beginning to settle in. Elsa had curled up with a book against a wall.

"I don't think Father would approve of all the boys," Elsa said with a small smile, not looking up from her book. "I know I do," Anna said, staring at a tall blonde. Elsa rolled her eyes and continued to read.

Anna gasped, "Don't look now, but I think Jazz's brother is staring." Elsa's head snapped up at the statement. Her eyes swept to room to look for the boy her sister had mentioned. She spotted him on the other side of the room, busying himself with laying out his sleeping bag. She noticed a faint blush on his cheeks in the dim candlelight of the room.

Elsa felt her face heat up as she turned back to her book. She couldn't help but blush at the thought of the cute guy from earlier staring at her. She did have a weakness for dark hair and light eyes.

"Dude, you really need to stop staring."

Danny turned to his friend, "What?" Tucker sighed, "You've been sneaking stares at that blonde ever since she sat down with that book. Why don't you go talk to her?" Sam nodded, "He's right." Danny shook his head with wide eyes, "No way. If I try to talk to her I'll mess up or say something stupid."

Sam rolled her eyes and took his arm, pulling him up. He yelped as she dragged him towards the wall, the shadows concealing them the closer they got to it. Eventually he tripped on something and fell down, feeling the shadows around him disappear along with Sam. What is it with people pushing and pulling me today?! he thought. As moved to get up, he met the gaze of bright blue eyes.

"Are you alright?" she asked worriedly, her tone soft and gentle.

It was then that he realized that he had tripped over her feet. Smooth Fenton, real smooth. "I-I'm fine," he stuttered offering her a sheepish smile. She shyly smiled back. He realized that he was still on the floor and scrambled to get up. "I-um… Sorry about that."

"It's okay," she said in a kind tone. There was a brief pause before he asked, "What's your book about?" She blinked back at him, seemingly surprised he had asked, "I-It's about a man with two souls. Each fighting for control over his body."

The person next to them blew out their candle. Danny shuffled on his feet, "I-uh, I guess I should leave you to read it. I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled up at him, "Goodnight."

Danny made his way back over to his friends, angrily pointing his finger at Sam, "There was no need to use your shadow semblance to get me to talk to her!"

The next morning all the first year students gathered on the edge of Beacon Cliff. Each student was on a small grey platform of their own. Professor Ozpin stood in front of the along with Glynda.

"For years, you have been trained to become warriors," Ozpin began, "And today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

Glynda stepped forward with a small holopad in her hands, "Now, I'm sure many of you have been hearing the assignment of teams. Well, let's put an end to your confusion. You'll be given teammates… Today."

Opzin continued, "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So, it is in your best interest to be paired up with someone you could work will. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with when you land will be your partner for the next four years."

Please Fenton luck, Danny quietly thought to himself, please don't screw this up for me.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet our position along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die."

"That's one way to motivate people," Tucker said under his breath.

Ozpin spoke again, "You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as you're standing and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Without so much as a pause he nodded his head, "Good. Now, take your positions."

One by one, the small platforms began launching people into the sky in an arch towards the forest. Elsa turned to Danny and gave him an encouraging smile before she was launched into the air.

Danny turned to his friends a little while later when he felt his platform begin to set, "See you guys at the end." They nodded back with smirks on their faces.

It was then that Danny was sent flying into the air.

Sam skillfully landed on a large branch of a tree not long after everyone had been shot off the cliff. She heard some screaming in the distance and looked up to see Tucker flailing in the air, having messed up his landing strategy. She sighed as she swung her weapon from her shoulders, a black bow and arrow equipped with a never ending supply of arrows in her quiver. She had exploding arrows, rocket arrows, and a few that could become a small gun. She slung an arrow into the string of her bow and let it rocket off towards Tucker. A loud Biong! echoed through the forest, followed by a distant, "Thank you!"

"Of all the people in Beacon, I'm with him," she grumbled, knowing she'd have to go get him.

Danny had landed a little while ago and was now wandering in the forest, looking for someone to partner up with him. He suddenly heard rustling behind him. "Sam? Tucker?" he called, going towards the bush, "Is that you?" As he parted the branches of the bush, a growl was heard from the other side.

"Nope."

Danny quickly rolled away as two Grimm leaped out of the bushes at him. Ursas, bear-like Grimm creatures that have a white masks and boney spikes on their backs. Danny drew his weapons from two sheaths that were slung on his back, twin swords, one white, one black.

"Alright then," he sighed, "Better make this quick." He zoomed forward, using his semblance to gain an advantage. Speed, to be exact. He left a green glow as he struck one over and over again. Eventually, the monster reared on its hind legs, allowing him to impale the monster and speed away in time. The other Grimm growled as it watched its friend fall to the ground, dead. It roared, but as Danny got into a battle stance, ready for another fight, the roar was cut off. The Ursa fell to the ground on its stomach, revealing Elsa behind it. A blue crystal-like dagger was lodged in the back of the Grimm's head and a long blue ribbon extended from the hilt of the dagger to her wrist. He spotted another dagger in her other hand.

She pulled the dagger back to her by the ribbon and caught it, shoving both into the two sheaths on her hips. He relaxed out of his stance as she gave him a small smile. He quickly returned it.

Thank you Fenton Luck, he thought to himself.

The two began walking north without exchanging any words. Finally, Danny decided to break the silence, "So, Elsa… where are you from? I've never seen you around Vale before."

She blinked back at him, surprised he had started a conversation. "I'm from Atlas," she finally answered. "Do you miss your friends?" he asked. Elsa seemed slightly saddened, "I don't have any friends." There was a short pause before she spoke again, "I was homeschooled by tutors and applied to Beacon." He raised a brow, "Why didn't you just stay in Atlas?" he paused for a second, realizing how rude that sounded. He stopped walking, causing her to stop, and quickly stuttered out an apology, "Sorry. I-I, um, I didn't mean it like that. I-It's not that I'm not glad you're here… b-because I am. I mean… uh."

A soft laugh escaped her lips from behind her hand, "I know what you mean. Thanks Danny."

Danny smiled at her and there was another long moment of silence between them. "So, uh, you mentioned a high power semblance earlier," Danny continued, "Care to elaborate?"

Elsa's expression suddenly became anxious and nervous, "Well… I, um…"

"Hey, it's okay," he swiftly reassured her, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Elsa stared wide eyed up at him before a small smile graced her lips and the two began walking again. "What about you?" she asked, "Speed? Is that what I saw back with the Ursas?"

He nodded, "Yep, I-"

He was cut off by a loud scream that was heard off in the distance, causing them to stop and look around. Elsa raised a brow, "I think an old lady is in trouble." Danny shook his head, his smile still on his face, "That's just my friend, Tucker."

"Red beret?" She asked. He nodded. Elsa's eyes darted to the right before she pointed, "Is that it?" They both walked over to where she had pointed. The trees thinned out to reveal a small clearing. In the center was ruins of an old temple, mainly the ruins of an open rotunda. "Huh," Danny commented, "That was easy."

Elsa looked up at the sky, "We must've been launched pretty far." The pair made their way to the temple to find chess pieces placed on low pillars. "And it looks like we aren't the first ones here," Danny said, noticing a few pieces missing. The two made eye contact and shrugged. Danny went and grabbed the first one he saw, the white rook piece.

"Heads up!"

Elsa looked up to see Jazz flailing about while falling towards them. "Elsa?" Danny called from the temple, "What is it?" She turned to him and pointed up. As they both looked up, Jazz was swept up onto a hover board of sorts. They landed a few feet away, revealing the girl that was driving the hoverboard, who had brown skin and black hair. "Thanks Valerie," Jazz said as her feet were placed on the ground. Valerie stalked off towards the chess pieces, dismissing Jazz's thanks, "Don't mention it."

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Elsa asked Danny.

A roar was heard behind them and they both turned to find an Ursa bounding out of the forest. It stopped as soon as it entered the clearing and fell on it's stomach. Anna stood up from it's back, "Well, that's broken."

"Anna," a muscular blonde called running up next to her and bending over to catch his breath, "Don't… pant… Don't ever do that again." Anna waved him off, walking over to retrieve a relic, "You worry too much, Kristoff."

"Did your sister just come in riding an Ursa?" Danny countered Elsa. She shrugged, "Touché."

The ground shook and Sam and Tucker came running in with a Death Stalker at their heels. It was a large scorpion-like Grimm creature with a glowing golden stinger for a tail. Elsa shook her head, "I'm not even going to ask." Danny nodded, "It's best you don't."

"Welp, the gang's all here," Anna called from behind them, "Now we can die together!"

"You're over exaggerating, Anna," Elsa called back. "Then, what are we gonna do?" Valerie asked. Sam and Tucker both suddenly were swatted by the Death Stalker's tail and fell in front of the group. The Grimm's tail drew back to strike and everyone readied their weapons. But as the golden stinger flew towards them, a loud Clang! was heard.

Everyone stared as Elsa stood in front of them with her arm stretched out in front of her and her hand flexed. A wall of ice encased the Death Stalker's stinger, the Grimm itself struggling to free its tail.

Elsa turned back to meet wide eyes. She shrugged, "High power semblance?" Anna nodded in approval, "That's my little sister."

"Uh, guys, I hate to cut this little victory short but," Kristoff pointed at the sky. A large raven like Grimm began circling them. "A Nevermore," Tucker clarified. "Should we fight it?" Valerie asked.

"There's no point," Elsa said, "The relics are right here." Danny nodded, "Elsa's right. Our mission was to get the relics and make it back to the cliff. There's no point in fighting these things."

"Run and live. I like it," Tucker said, grabbing a chess piece. Once every team had one, they ran for the cliff side. The ruins of a larger temple stood in their way, along with a freestanding ruined temple in between the edge of the clearing and the higher up cliff. The Nevermore perched on top of the crumbling rotunda on the freestanding temple and roared. Danny, Elsa, Sam and Tucker ducked behind a column while Valerie, Anna, Jazz and Kristoff ducked behind one on the opposite side.

All heads turned back then they heard a loud cracking sound. The Death Stalker had broken free and was now heading towards them. The eight of them turned to run for the cliffs.

As they were crossing the bridge that connected the temple to the clearing edge, the Nevermore swooped down and rammed into the stone bridge head on, collapsing a small part of it. The teens were split up again. Danny and Valerie made eye contact. "You handle the scorpion. We'll handle the bird," Danny said. Valerie nodded and the four of them turned to attack.

Elsa had been knocked off of the bridge when the Nevermore had attacked. She quickly pulled one of her daggers out of its sheath and threw it at the stone structure. It stuck and she swung by the ribbon. As the Grimm bird flew by, she threw her other dagger up at it and used its momentum to swing back up onto the rotunda ruins.

"Nice of you to drop in," Sam smirked as she landed next to Elsa as well. Elsa smirked as she twirled her daggers in her hands, "I'm not late am I?" To Sam's left, Tucker pulled out a small silver wand from his cargo pants. It extended into a small dark green and silver hand cannon on a staff. He cocked the top of the canon, making a small Click! Click! noise, "Let's hit it with everything we've got."

"Wait," Elsa said, "It's tougher than it looks. I used it to swing up here and it didn't even flinch. It has armor all over its body."

Danny's face lit up, "But not inside its body. Guys, I have a plan." He turned to his left, "Elsa, I need you to freeze it to that bridge over there," he pointed to the opposite side of the temple where there was another bridge that connected to the dirt wall of Beacon cliff, "Sam, Tucker, you two help her lure it over there." All three nodded and sprung into action.

But not before the Nevermore crashed into the rotunda and made half the thing collapse. The teens were quick on their feet and used the falling rubble to get onto the sturdy part of the ruins, jumping from piece to piece of the falling stone.

Tucker used his canon to launch himself into the air. He landed on a tall pillar and activated his semblance. Graphs and chart came into his vision as he mentally calculated every possible angle for hitting the bird. He found the perfect one and aimed before firing.

The bird was knocked into the side of the cliff before it fell onto the bridge. Elsa was right there and was ready. She quickly ran and froze the Grimm's talons to the stone. Sam jumped up onto the pillar opposite of Tucker and Danny sped towards the creature. He quickly stabbed it in it's underbelly before taking the sword out and speeding out of the way. The Nevermore roared in pain and Sam and Tucker understood what they needed to do.

"I hope you're hungry," Sam smirked as she slung an exploding arrow into her bow. She and Tucker fired into the Grimm's mouth at the same time. In the same instant the blasts hit the creature's mouth, a giant icicle rose up from the ground and impaled the creature. The creature roared and it's head exploded.

Complete silence hung in the air as the Nevermore fell limply onto the stone bridge. The teens on the other side of the gorge had defeated the Death Stalker and watched with wide eyes. Elsa reached her hand out and created a bridge to the ruins for the others, replacing the one the dead Nevermore had destroyed. She turned and created wide slabs of ice for everyone to use to get up the cliff.

"Well," Tucker said as he leaped down and landed next to Sam, "That was a thing."

"And finally, Elsa Arendal, Daniel Fenton, Tucker Foley, and Samantha Manson."

The four teens walked up onto the stage in the main hall of Beacon Academy as Professor Ozpin called their names. "You four retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forth, you will work together as Team Destiny," the teens' pictures were shown on the big screen with their initials in the order DEST, "Led by, Daniel Fenton."

Danny blinked back at the Headmaster in disbelief and Ozpin only gave him half a smile, "Congratulations young man."

As the team walked off the stage, Jazz tackled Danny in a hug, "Oh, I'm so proud of you!" Elsa smiled at the sight. As Jazz let go of her brother, Sam and Tucker slung an arm around each of his shoulders. Elsa put her hands on her hips and smiled at the trio, "I think things are shaping up to be an interesting year."

"How on earth do you fight in those?"

Team Destiny sat in their dorm room unpacking. Elsa shrugged at Sam's question about her shoes, "Uh balance?"

"Yeah," Tucker said from the other side of the room, "Like when you only had a 'high power semblance?'"Danny frowned at his friend, "Tucker, we shouldn't pry."

"It's alright Danny," Elsa smiled, "You guys are my teammates now. I mean there isn't much to tell. I've been able to create ice from nothing and control it ever since I was born. Of course, I've had to work on my control but it's gotten better over the years."

"That's really cool," Tucker commented.

"Uh, Danny?" Sam called, "I think we have a problem with our stuff." The teens had been unpacking all of their stuff and storing it where they could. Eventually, the beds ended up being piled on top of each other. "Should we get rid of some of our stuff?" Sam asked. Danny thought for a moment before he got an idea, "Or… bunk beds?"

"I'm down," Tucker nodded. "Me too," Elsa said. "Let's do it," Sam nodded.

After an hour or two, they had successfully stacked the bed on top of one another. Elsa had frozen the bedposts together and created ice ladders that would never melt. "I call top!" Sam yelled. "I call the other top!" Tucker called after her. Elsa and Danny just laughed at the two and shook their heads.

After Danny had come back from getting ready in the bathroom, Elsa stood up from her bed. Sam and Tucker turned in for the night and only a lamp on the nightstand lit the room.

"Danny?" Elsa quietly asked, trying not to wake Sam and Tucker. "Yeah?" he answered. "I wanted to thank you," she smiled at him.

He raised a brow, "For what?"

"For reaching out to me," she answered shyly, "I didn't have any friends when I came here. I thought I would be the only one who had moved up. I didn't think I would be on a team of sixteen year olds. But you took the time to say hi to me and in the forest you didn't treat me any differently, even after you knew about my semblance."

Danny smiled at the blonde, "Hey, we're all friends now. You're not alone in this." She beamed up at him and he felt butterflies stir in his stomach. "Goodnight Daniel," she said softly. "Night," he replied. "And Danny?" He turned back to her. She gave him a small smile, "I've always wanted bunkbeds."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A few months later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ugh," Danny said as he let his head fall down on the lunchroom table.

Team Destiny sat in the mess hall together with Jazz, Valerie, Kristoff, and Anna, who had formed their own team with Valerie as the leader, who sat at the table across from them. "Who knew groping for the approval of our peers could be so exhausting?" he groaned into the wood of the table.

"Just think, tomorrow we're free from classes for the Vytal Festival for a whole month!" Tucker exclaimed. "I'm excited that we finally have some time off," Sam agreed.

"Well, I for one am going to miss Professor Port's crazy speeches," Elsa joked, causing the team to laugh. "Hey," she continued, "Maybe we could go to Vale tomorrow and just, you know, hang out."

"That's a good idea," Tucker nodded. Sam smirked, "She just wants to check out the other competition for the tournament."

"You can't prove that!"

Danny laughed at his friends. In the short months that they had been a team, Elsa had really opened up to them. She even helped them with some of their classes… well, mostly him. He couldn't help but smile at the memory of the blonde when her face would light up each time he got an answer right.

"So, Vale tomorrow?" Danny asked the team. They all agreed and made plans to leave for the city in the morning.

But their visit was far from normal.

The next day the team had enjoyed spending time together, walking the streets of Vale and just talking. It was around noon when they noticed a big cargo ship pull up at the docks, which was unusual for this time of year. They collectively decided to go check it out. Once they reached the street where the dock began, something unexpected happened.

A giant Ursa burst out of one of the cargo holds on the ship. This Ursa was bigger than any other the team had encountered. It was not only larger in size but the amount of armor on it's back was also at a greater quantity.

The team was quick to act as screaming pedestrians ran past them. Each teen pulled out their weapons, ready for Danny to make the first call.

"Poison Ivy!" he yelled out, cueing Sam and Tucker to strike first. They ran forward at full speed, Tucker firing at the creature wildly while Sam ran around it while it was distracted by him. She quickly slung an arrow in her quiver and shot it at the monster, aiming for small kinks in its armor. She successfully got an exploding arrow in after a few tries.

"Ice Phantom!"

Sam and Tucker quickly lept out of the way as Elsa and Danny came forward, He held her dagger as he sped towards the Ursa, dragging her by the ribbon. When he was close enough, he stopped abruptly, launching Elsa forward. She flipped over its head and landed on its back, stabbing her dagger into its fur. The Grimm reared in pain and flung Elsa off of its back and behind Danny.

"Amethyst Ocean!"

Danny sped by the creature to confuse it. As he went past Sam, he handed her one of his swords. He was behind the monster when Sam slung the sword into her bow, careful not to cut the string. She shot it at the the Grimm's mouth but it closed its mouth before it could hit it, causing the sword to harmlessly bounce off of the Ursa's mask. "Shit," Sam cursed under her breath as Danny zoomed forward back to the other side of the street, picking up his lost sword on the way.

"Blue Violet!"

Sam slung her bow back around her shoulders and focused on the battle play. She summoned shadows to blind the Ursa. Elsa quickly froze the asphalt of the street and created skates under her heels. She skated forward and around the creature, Sam making a path for her through the shadows. Elsa struck the Ursa several times, getting a few rewarding roars of pain from the monster. It swung its claws blindly, trying to see through the darkness with no success. Eventually, Elsa was hit by a waving arm and she flew back towards the team.

Danny helped her up as he noticed the positioning of the buildings around them. They were at a far end of the street that led to the dock while the Ursa was on the other side.

"Elsa-" he began. "On it!" Elsa immediately responded, racing forward on her skates towards the Grimm creature. She quickly sweeped around him, freezing his paws to the ground. She looked back to where Danny had positioned Sam and Tucker, understanding what he was trying to do. He had talked about this play but they've never tried it before.

No time like the present, she thought as she raced towards Tucker. He responded immediately, throwing her his cannon while she threw him an ice dagger with the ribbon still connected to her wrist. She caught it and launched herself halfway up the building. She threw the cannon back to Tucker, who copied her actions, the blue ribbon now taunt between the two buildings.

Danny lept up, using his speed to get the momentum. He landed in the center of the ribbon, stretching it down to the ground. When it was close enough, Sam used a shadow to hold it in place while she used her hands to aim. "Only you would come up with a plan like this," she scoffed, "We should've practiced it."

"Then it wouldn't be half this exciting," Danny retorted before he was launched at the Ursa. He used his speed to gain momentum and when the Grimm got close enough, he swung his blade.

Slice!

Danny landed behind the monster as its head fell off its shoulders. He panted, trying to catch his breath, not realizing the limp body behind him was falling to the ground.

"Danny! Look out!"

"You can come and see him now."

Elsa, Sam and Tucker stood in the lobby of the school's infirmary. They quickly followed the doctor that lead them to his room. "Hey guys," Danny called from his bed. The trio rushed to his side, everyone coming in for a group hug. "We were worried sick!" Elsa said as soon as everyone had pulled away. "We didn't see what happened!" Sam added.

"Guys, I'm fine it was just a knock on the head that caught me by surprise," Danny smiled up at them.

"You're lucky you got out with only a few scratches," all four teens turned to see Headmaster Ozpin in the doorway, "All of you." Silence hung in the air before Ozpin spoke again, "We don't even know where the Ursa came from. What you all did today was very irresponsible." All four teens hung their heads.

"And, admittedly, very impressive."

All heads turned back to him in surprise.

"You reacted calmly and collectively, you focused on the crowd getting out first, and you did minimal damage to the city." The teens exchanged a look with each other before turning back to Ozpin.

"All in all… well done."

The group stood in a stunned silence. The headmaster showed the ghost of a smile to them, "Mr. Fenton will be able to compete in the tournament as long as he doesn't exhaust himself. But for now, let's let him get some rest, shall we?"

The group took it as a command as Ozpin turned to walk out of the room. They all said goodbye to Danny before leaving. Elsa stopped in the doorway before turning and going back to him.

She laid a hand on his shoulder while speaking in a soft voice, "I'm really happy that you're okay Danny." A small hand slid under his chin as a soft pair of lips gently touched his cheek. With that, Elsa turned and left without another word, leaving Danny there with his hand touching the cheek had just been kissed.

As Elsa walked down the hall she was met by Ozpin. "Miss Arendal?" he called, coming to stand next to her, "Would you see me in my office please?" Elsa suddenly felt nervous, "Am I in trouble?" The professor let out a small chuckle, "No, I only want to discuss something with you." She nodded, "Alright."

When they reached his office, Ozpin sat down in his chair at his desk. His office was in Beacon Tower among the clockwork and gears that ticked all around them. Elsa stared out the window at the view of Beacon Cliff. "Quite the view yes?" Ozpin asked. Elsa nodded, "I can see why you would have your office up here."

"Please, have a seat," he gestured to one of the two chairs that were in front of his desk. She compiled and sat down in front of him. He was silent for a moment or two before he spoke.

"What is your favorite fairytale?"

"Geez what's taking Elsa so long?" Tucker asked. Danny sat up on his bed and rested his cheek on his hand, having been let go from the infirmary a little while ago. "What do you think Professor Ozpin wanted?" Sam asked. Danny shrugged in response, his mind still on the kiss she had given him.

Their dorm room door opened slowly, revealing a shaken up Elsa. Seeing her distraught state, Danny lifted his head from his hands, almost forgetting about the kiss. The three looked worriedly at their friend as she stalked to her bed and plopped down, putting her head in her hands.

After a while she peeked between her fingers at her friends before she moved her hands away from her face. "Elsa?" Danny asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" Elsa plastered on a fake smile and nodded at them. But none of them bought it. "Elsa, what did Professor Ozpin say?" Sam insisted. Elsa's smile faded away as she met each of her friend's concerned gaze. She sighed and looked back up at them, "No one can ever hear of this, okay?" They all nodded in agreement.

"Do you guys know the old fairy tale The Story of the Seasons?"

Their silence answered her question and she began telling it herself, "A callous old man, who refuses to leave his home, is visited by four traveling sisters. The first understands his reclusive nature and urges him to use his time in solitude to reflect and meditate. The second brings him fruits and flowers, tending to his crops and revitalizing his garden. The third warms the man's heart, convincing him to step outside and embrace the world around him. And the fourth and final sister begs him to look at all that he has, and be thankful. In return for their kindness, the man grants the maidens incredible powers, so that they may continue to help others all over the world. They graciously accept, and promise to share their gifts with the people of Remnant 'til the end of days. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall; the four maidens."

"I remember that story," Sam said, "My mom used to tell it to me when I was little."

"But what does it have to do with Ozpin?" Tucker asked. Elsa let out another sigh, "Ozpin… Ozpin told me it was real. All of it," she stood up from her bed and walked to the middle of the room, her back facing them, "He-He thinks I'm the Winter Maiden."

The was complete silence in the room before Danny stood up, "That makes sense." Elsa whirled around, "What?" Danny shrugged, "Well, if anyone asked me I would pin you as Winter." Elsa seemed deep in thought as Danny realized what he said might've been insensitive. As he opened his mouth again, Elsa beat him to it.

"Ozpin wants to train me."

Everyone froze. Sam stepped forward, "Are you leaving Team Destiny?" Elsa's head snapped up, "What? Of course not! I-I mean… I would assume you guys wouldn't want me on your team anymore." Tucker stepped up, "Why would you think that?" She shrugged, "Well, after school and with our own training, I'll no longer have weekends with you guys."

"Even more reason for you to stick with us," Sam said, "Elsa, we're your friends. We're here for you when you need us most and this seems like one of the situations where you could use a couple friends."

"No one is leaving Team Destiny," Danny stepped closer to Elsa, "Not on my watch."

"But I-"

"You are a valuable part of this team," he finished for her placing a hand on her shoulder, "You won't be going anywhere anytime soon no matter how much you want to get away from us." He crossed his arms as his lips curved up into a smirk. Elsa stared up at him before she beamed and tackled him in a big hug, snuggling her face into his chest.

Danny was stunned for a minute before he wrapped his arms around her as well. Sam and Tucker were quick to join in on this hug. Elsa smiled up at all of them and for once in her life…

She wasn't alone.
