(Beacon academy)
It was just another quiet afternoon for the students and faculty. The serenity was broken by the loud hum of a dozen engines.
In the skies around the academy, dozens of airships barring the Atlas military's insignia came down from the clouds, while the smaller more maneuverable attack ships set up a perimeter the command ship touched down on the sky dock.
From the Office above, Ozpin and Glynda looked down at the new arrivals as they unloaded their passengers
"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels" The blond witch stated with some disdain not liking the idea of an army being brought to their school
"Well running an academy and a military makes him a busy man, but yes those are a bit of an eye sore" Ozpin replied
Glynda turned to ozpin and asked "Professor Ozpin is James aware of Alex? does he know he comes from another world?"
Ozpin nodded and answered " Yes, he is fully aware of the subject along with his objective while here, and yes he suggested he may be working for the White Fang, but I assured him that is not the case, when he meets Alex himself, then he will certainly have second thoughts."
Glynda raised an eyebrow "Are you shore it will"
Ozpin chuckled and replied" Of course, with the footage we have from initiation and forever fall, there's no doubt he will"
Glynda nodded and replied " Right...of course Ozpin"
A message then came up on Ozpin's desk informing him Ironwood was waiting outside
"Come in" Ozpin said
The elevator doors opened and Ironwood came out, "Ozpin"
"Hello General" Ozpin replied
"Please, drop the formality's" Ironwood said as the two headmasters shook hands "It's been to long!"
He then turned to Glynda "And Glynda it has certainly been to long since we last met."
"Oh James..." she then turned to Ozpin "I'll be outside"
Glynda walks outside and ironwood comments "Well, she hasn't changed a bit"
The Ozpin began "So... what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas? Headmasters don't typically travel with their students for the vytal festival?"
"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year. Besides your hosting, I would prefer to keep an eye on this 'Alex' character you've allowed to enter your school. Also, it's a good time for us to catch up"
Ozpin sighed "For the last time James. Alex is not a spy for the White Fang. So far, he's been a great asset, especially during the more recent events involving this Psycho society "
" I still believe these creatures are nothing but nonsense " Ironwood said
"During a trip to Forever Fall Glynda along with two First year teams RWBY and JNPR had an encounter with them. Mr. Arc was possessed by a creature of unknown origin and began to attack his fellow students" Ozpin pulled up a video on his console for the general "Our cameras captured this"
Ironwood stared down at the screen as the recording played There stood Glynda along with the two teams and that Alex character in front of them stood three creatures that could only be described as demonic
- *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* "that was quite the display" Psycho pink said as she approached them flanked by Black and Crimson
"Psycho's" Alex said
"Can we just kill them and get this over with. that one's head would look nice on my wall" Crimson said pointing the blade of his scythe at Ruby who backed up a little closer to her sister
"Try it "yang dared as she stepped in front of her sister
"Ooh feisty" Crimson said taking a step towards them his path was blocked by pinks outstretched arm
"No... we don't have time for this you hear Reds orders observe them, don't worry you'll get your chance" Psycho pink said the air around them become distorted before the three vanished:
Ironwood stared at the screen in shock " These creatures are the Psycho society?" He said handing Ozpin nodded
"Yes, the information provided to us by Mr. Fissure is rather disturbing" he said pulling up said file on his desk "They are guilty of many atrocity's and are known to hunt humans and other sentient species for their own pleasure, from what I've read they may be a greater threat then the Grimm" Ozpin stated his grasp on his cane tightening It was a rare thing to see ozpin show even the slightest hint of anger but when he did... the seventh layout of hell would seem like paradise.
Ironwood was surprised by this and commented "I see... Have you come up with any countermeasures"?
"Yes, but first I believe we will need to speak with the resident expert" Ozpin said

Alex was walking through the corridors of beacon alongside his longtime friend Koan "So how was Vale?" He asked
"Big city full of Pinhead, Bigots and terrorist...honestly seems allot like home " Koan said with some disdain" have you seen what the Faunus are subjected two I was literally there for what...six hours, I stopped like what fifteen muggings before I decided to come check out Beacon and to be honestly I never pictured you for the cushy high school life"
"It anything but 'cushy' plus it has its benefits" Alex said
"Like what?" Koan asked turning a corner only to bump into someone
"Oh sorry" Velvet said
she and Coco continued down the hallway, only for the beret wearing fashionista to turn back lowering her shades slightly and sent Koan a wink before following her partner.
"Ok...I think I might actually like it here" Koan stated as he watched them go
Alex just stood there with a shit eating grin
"Don't give me that look" Koan said
"Come on it's about time you met the rest of the gang" Alex said patting him on the shoulder as the two walked into the Library
"Yang Xiao Long, Prepare you kingdom for battle!" Ruby Cried
'Da-fuck was that' Alex thought
Then yang shouted "Bring it on!"
The two teens arrived to find team RWBY around a board game each with a set of cards in their hands
Ruby then said "I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet!"
Yang gasped dramatically as Ruby continued "Looks like I get to fly directly over your Ursai and attack your wall's directly!" before making airplane noises and explosion sounds
once again, yang gasped, "you fiend!"
Then Ruby continued "And since Atlas is part of mantle, my repair time only last's one turn"
Yang chuckled and said "Pretty sneaky sis, but you've just activated my trap card! Giant nevermore! If I roll a seven or higher, Fatal feathers will slice your fleet in two."
Then Ruby countered "But, if you roll a six or lower, the nevermore will turn on your own forces!"
"That's just a chance I'm willing to take." Yang said
The duo looked towards JNPR who were allot more mellow, Ren seemed to be studying, Nora was asleep, Pyrrha was studying, and Jaun was reading a comic but Pyrrha suggested for him to study
After ruby called out in defeat yang said "Alright Weiss, it's your turn!"
The Weiss replied "I... have absolutely no idea what's going on"
"She's not the only one" Koan muttered to Alex
Yang said to Weiss "Look it's easy! you're playing as Vacuo, meaning all Vacuo based cards come with a bonus"
Weiss then said "That sounds dumb."
Yang then pointed out "See... you've got sand storm, Desert-scavenger Oh, Oh Resourceful raider! see now you can take ruby's discarded fleet-"
"Nooooo!" the young reaper cried
"-and put it in your hand!"
"Okay" Weiss replied
"And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance boost against natural hazards, you can use sandstorm to neutralize my forces and simultaneously infiltrate my kingdom" Yang said
Yang then added "Just know, that i will not forget this declaration of war"
"And that means" Weiss asked innocently
"Your just three moves away from concurring remnant" Ruby clarified
Realizing this Weiss stood up and began to laugh evilly, ranting on about the fate of her enemies would face if they opposed her
"Trap card" Yang cut in
"Huh?" Weiss responded
"your army's have been destroyed." Yang said
Weiss sat down and began to cry anime tears "I hate this game of emotions we play"
Then Ruby hugged Weiss and said "Stay strong, Weiss. we'll make it through this together."
"Shut up! don't touch me!" Weiss commented
Yang then turned to Blake and said "Alright Blake! you're up!"
"Huh? oh! um... sorry what am I doing?" Blake asked
"You're playing as Vale, trying to conquer the kingdoms of remnant!" Yang answered
" right..." Blake replied still not following
Jaun then came over and asked "hey can I play?"
Ruby answered "Sorry we've already got four people"
Weiss then added " Besides, this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt you posse"
Yang then added "Uhhh...you attacked your own naval fleet, two turns ago"
"Bring it on ice queen" Jaun said Weiss grimacing at the mention of her nick name "I'll have you know I've been called a natural, born leader" Jaun said proudly
"By who? your mother!?" Weiss asked mockingly
"And Pyrrha!" Jaun answered
"hello again" Pyrrha said waving from behind them
"Come on, let me play your hand for a turn." Jaun said cupping his hands together
"I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo!" Weiss retorted
"Why not, you've trusted me with way more important stuff before! I mean you told us all that Blake is secretly a fau-"
"Fun loving person whom we all admire and respect!" Pyrrha quickly cut in covering the blonds mouth while Blake glared
"Smooth" Alex said leaning up against the bookcase
Sun and Neptune walked into the library, heading towards the group while holding up a piece sighs" sup, losers"
" hey Sun "Alex greeted
"Sun, Neptune good to see you guys again" Koan said
"Hey sun "Ruby said
"Ruby, yang, Blake, Alex, Koan, Ice queen" Sun greeted
"Why does everyone keep calling me that!?" Weiss said with some annoyance
"I never got a chance to introduce you to my old friend" Sun said gesturing to Neptune
"Uh...aren't libraries for reading?" Neptune asked
"Thank you" Ren said waking the sleeping Nora who yelled 'pancakes'
"Shut up. don't be a nerd" Sun said
"Upupupup intellectual. Okay. thank you" Neptune said
"I'm Neptune" he introduced
"So, Neptune, where are you from?" Weiss asked
"Haven" he responded walking up to Weiss "...And I don't believe I caught your name snow angel" Neptune finished
Alex grimaced ' and now he's hitting on her but... snow angel that's a new one'
"Um... I'm Weiss "
"Pleasure to meet you" Neptune commented
Then Sun said to Blake" I never took you as the board-game playing type"
Blake then replied " Right... well, I think I'm done playing, actually I think I'll see you guys later"
"Women" Nora simply said earning a few bewildered looks
Ruby then noticed something "hey where's Alex?"
XXXXX
Blake sat on her bead, her knees pulled up to her chest deep in thought when two subtle knocks rang out from the door
"who is it?" Blake asked
"it's Alex, I just wanted to talk" there was nothing but silence for a few moments
"Ok, come in"
Alex entered RWBY's dorm room taking a seat on the bed across from Blake "what did you want to talk about?" She asked
Alex sighed " you've been rather distant with the others lately, and I'm sure has something to do with what happened at the docks?"
slowly she nodded "Yes"
"Is it Torchwick?" Alex asked
"yes" she answered, anger present in her tone
"You want him behind bars?" Alex asked
She nodded "That scum deserves it, even more"
Alex smiled "And he will, I'll make sure of that. Afterword's we'll figure out what to do about the White Fang but you have to promise me you won't go running off after him, we'll bring him in together, but until then you need to get some rest."
"I'm fine" she said
"A blind man could tell you haven't been sleeping" Alex retorted "Hang out with the others relax, build up your strength or else you'll be too week to face him, alright." Alex said placing a hand on her shoulder
Blake smiled, before doing something he didn't expect, she hugged him "Thank you"
"No problem" just then Ruby Yang and Weiss walked in
"ugh! we never should have let him play" Yang complained
"You're just mad' because the new guy beat you If you had just attacked when I told you, none of this would have happened" The three then saw Alex and Blake
"Are...we interrupting something" Yang said a sly grin on her face
"No" Blake said turning away from the others to avoid the seeing her red face
"I came here to check on Blake, she seemed depressed lately, we. were. just. talking " Alex emphasized
"Sure~" Yang said
"So, what were you talking about?" Ruby asked
Alex turned to Blake who had managed to get her emotions back under control It's about Torchwick and the White Fang I just can't focus! I have this feeling there up to something! I know it"
The others nodded "Okay! All in favor of being of being the youngest huntresses and huntsmen, to single-handedly bring down a corrupt organization against the kingdom of Vale... say I!"
"Yes! I love it when you're feisty!" Yang said
"Well I suppose it could be fun "Weiss said
Blake and Alex stood up "Let's kick some ass" while Blake only nodded
"None of you said 'Aye' "Ruby muttered
"It's close enough Rubes" Alex said
then Blake said "Alright then...we're in this together"
Ruby then said" Let's hatch a plan!"
yang commented, "Yeah!"
Ruby the gasped "I left my board game back in the library!"
Weiss face palmed and shook her head "Were doomed"
Ruby darted out of the room and into the hallway shouting "I'll be right back"
Ruby ran directly into a guy with dark black hair, with a crimson red streak going over his bangs that covered his left eye showing his one grey eye, wearing a black trench coat, with a bandoleer holding an assortment of ammo going over his black shirt underneath, alongside him stood a girl with a short blond ponytail wearing dark grey jeans, a shirt and armor plated jacket
next to her stood another boy with curly blond hair and blue eyes wearing a camouflage shirt with black cargo pants, metallic armor running down his left arm leading to a hefty spiked gauntlet, the final member of their group was dark skinned girl wearing a white tank top a black blazer over it, with black jeans, and pair of bracers on her forearms there armor each sporting the same emblem a skull with a pair of large fang's over a pair of crossbones.
behind the four stood another three students wearing a Haven Academy uniform stood behind them a dark tanned skinned girl with mint hair and red eyes, alongside her stood a guy with grey hair and green eyes. The last one had long, black hair, and a pair of fiery amber eyes that seemed to glow.
"Sorry... are...you...ok" Ruby said
"we're fine just watch where you going" the mint haired girl replied while offering her a hand
"Accidents happen no problem " the guy shrugged off Ruby felt a chill run down her spine the voice felt familiar
"Oh...right...sorry...um...I'm Ruby are you...new?" Ruby asked
The fiery eyed girl then answered, "Visiting from haven actually!"
"You maybe, were from Vacuo" the blond said
"Ooooooh! your here for the festival! Oh, but exchange students have their own dormitory" Ruby said
The guy with grey hair then said "I guess we just got turned around"
Ruby then replied "Don't worry, happens all the time! Uh, your building is just east of here"
The fiery eyed girl then replied "Thanks. Maybe we'll see you around
"Yeah, maybe. Oh, and welcome to Beacon!" Ruby called out as she continued to run down to the library
'To be continued'
