Alex sat watching the fight between Pyrrha and team CRDL and let's just say they were getting their asses kicked. Pyrrha's polarity semblance gave her the overall edge against them in the fight as she could redirect any incoming blows and increase the power of her own.
"Man she's good" Koan said
after the event's on the highway it became apparent he needed to meet Ozpin and Glynda, their was a rather heavy tongue lashing from Miss Goodwitch, mostly involving property damage and why they weren't told sooner about his arrival.
After a well deserved explanation Koan had been allowed to stay at Beacon under the identity of a transfer student from shade academy.
As the match ended, Pyrrha came out victorious Mrs Goodwitch calling it "And that's the match."
"Lucky shot, ugh" he croaked out before falling over.
Glynda continued "Well done, Miss Nikos. you should have no problem qualifying for the tournament."
"Thank you professor" Pyrrha replied
"Alright, I know that's a tough act to follow, But we still have time for one more sparing match. Any volunteers" Glynda asked
In the stands a small smirk grew on mercury's face as he opened his mouth to speak but was cut off "Sure i'll do it" came a feminine voice from across the room said Girl rose out of her seat Ruby taking notice she was the same girl she bumped into before
"Yasmin, is it" Glynda asked adjusting her glasses
Mercury eye's narrowed as he and Emerald spared the other three a glance before nodding to one another
"Very we'll, let's find you an opponent" Glynda said
"Him" She said instantly pointing at Alex.
Glynda looked at her and responded " Mr Fissure, does not need to partake in combat class, because he simply does not need it." Some of the students from visiting schools looked at Alex surprised, hell even he seemed a little shocked.
Well it did explain allot he hadn't been selected for one spar during any of the classes, although that might have been because of what happened during initiation he had shish kabobed a Death stalker with his thunder staff.
Yasmin fround for a second her eye's scanned the room "How about her?" she indicated to Pyrrha
"Me" Pyrrha asked in surprise
"I'm afraid miss Nikos has just finished a match,I'd recommend you chose another partner" Glynda advised
"No!, it's fine" Pyrrha said turning back to the blond "I'd be happy to oblige.
As Yasmin walked onto the stage Alex kept a close eye on her something about her felt familiar... and not in a good way. she took a combat stance, drawing the two machete attached to her thigh's shifting one into a desert eagle.
A smirk appeared on her face as she charged forward firing off three shots from her Deagle. a downward slice from her machete was met with a block from Akouo Yasmin jumped back avoiding a bash from Pyrrah's lance Milo
"Quick question" Yasmin said before rushing forward with a kick the impact against Akouo made Pyrrha skin back all the while Yasmin fired at her with bother her desert eagles.
Pyrrha moved forward for a stab and was met by the flat side of Yasmin's machete "The blond is he single" she said looking up to Jaun The statement threw Pyrrha off for a moment leaving her open
Yasmin charged forward delivering a volley of slashes to Akouo before round housing Pyrrha knocking Milo from her grasp the lance landing a few feet away. taking the opening she struck, shifting her machete into the gun form she fired off a multitude of rounds while circling her.
Pyrrha retrieved Milo with her semblance using her shield to deflect the dust rounds, she charged forward, ready to- "I forfeit"
"What?" Pyrrha asked confusion written across her face as she skidded to a halt
"I forfeit" Yasmin repeated
"You, dont even want to try?" Pyrrha asked
"Your a world renown fighter, no matter what I doubt I'd be able to beat you this just saves time." she said sheathing her weapons.
"In that case, Pyrrha Nikos is the victor of the match, again." Glynda announced "Next time you may want to think a little harder before choosing an opponent
Yasmin merely shrugged before heading back to her team "Whatever"
the buzzer went indicating the end of class Alex grabbed his things Blake walked past him her attention focused on the book in her hands, she looked exhausted. "And remember the dance is this weekend, but you all have your first mission on Monday. I will not except any excuses." Glynda said

Yasmin along with her team walked Emerald and Mercury waiting for them "Isn't learning just fun" He said in a mocking tone
"Depends on what the lesson is" she responded before looking over to the retreating form's of RWBY and The omni ranger

The six began moving to their next set of classes Alex stopped after noticing Blake had began to fall behind
"I'll catch up" he said to the others walking over to her" Something bothering you?" Alex asked
"I'm fine" Blake responded looking up from her book for a moment.
You look exhausted" Alex said Blake merely brushed off his concern While Sun came up to them
"Hey Blake, Alex you guy's doing Ok." Sun asked
"I'm fine" Blake said once again
Sun cleared his throat "So I hear theirs a dance going on this weekend. Ah, sounds pretty lame but, you and me I'm thinking not as lame huh?" Alex kept walking giving them privacy
"What?" Blake asked confused
" The dance this weekend, you wanna go or what?" Sun asked
"I dont have time for a stupid dance" Blake said shooting Sun down "I thought you of all people would get that" Blake said storming off.
the remaining members of RWBY could only watch as Blake walked off.

"You what?" Blake voice rang out filled with disbelief
"We want you to go to the dance" Ruby repeated what was just said
The five of them were sitting in Rwby's dorm trying to get Blake to attend the dance
"That's ridiculous" Blake said annoyed
"Blake, were worried about you. This investigations starting to get to your head." yang said her voice filled with concern for her partner
"What your doping right now isn't healthy" Koan said
"You can't sleep, you hardly eat and to be honest? Your grades are suffering."Weiss counted up some of Blake's problems.
"You think i care about grade's?! people's lives are at stake!" Blake shot back angrily
"We know and were also trying to figure out what Torchwick is up to." Blake looked away contemplating what she said
"Because of you and Sun, we know their operating somewhere out of southeast Vale" Ruby said
"And the Schnee Dust Company records singled out Vale as the primary target for dust robberies over the last few months." Weiss pointed out
"Don't forget about their missing military tech too." Yang said
"But their are still unanswered questions"Blake said some hesitation could be seen in her demeanor.
"Blake you won't even be able to find anything if you can't keep your eye's open."
"Blake all we're asking is that you take it easy for one day" Yang said
"It will be fun yang and I will make sure of it" Weiss said
"Yeah, were planning the whole event" yang added bouncing on her bed
"Excuse me?" Blake said unaware of the development just another sigh of how bad her situation was
"Team CFVY's mission is lasting longer then expected, your team was selected to plan the dance" Alex said
"Yea, Weiss and i were asked to pick up where they left off. And now we can make sure you have the perfect night "Yang said a smile aimed at her partner
"And once it's all over we'll return to our search, rested and ready."Weiss spoke as the voice of reason
"So, what do you think" Ruby added hopefully
"I..." Blake seemed slightly hesitant "I think this is a colossal waist of time." Blake said rising from the bed and making her way towards the door "i'll be in the library." she said with finality
The remaining occupants looked at the door for a while
"She can't keep going like this" Weiss stated
"Here i thought Alex might be able ton convince her" Ruby added dejectedly " without her It'll all be meaningless.".

"...Pyrrha Nikos and finally Alex fissure" Emerald said
"Ahh, the invincible girl and the hero from another world" Cinder mused
"I still don't buy that those guy's are from another world." Emerald said
" There technology is years ahead of what Atlas is currently developing and the creatures they have at their disposal is a rather compelling argument to the statement, now back to the Nikos girl."
Mercury stated "Nikos smart, but i wouldn't call her invincible.
"Do tell" cinder replied
"her semblance is polarity, but you'd never know it just by watching." Emerald said
"After she made contact with Yasmin's machetes she was able to move them around however she wanted. But she only made slight adjustments." Mercury pointed out
"Just enough to make it look like she's untouchable. She doesn't broadcast her powers so it put's her opponents at a disadvantage." Emerald stated
"Hmm, people assume she is fated for victory when she's really taken fate into her own hands. Interesting what about the boy."
" Alex Fissure our Psychotic friends keep calling him Omni ranger, whatever that's supposed to mean." Emerald said
" A title, one that seem's to hold weight among our allies, interesting anything else" Cinder inquired
"Nothing, apparently he hasn't spared or fought any of the other students even the footage from the initiation has been scrubbed clean their trying to keep his ability's under wraps." Mercury said.
"Add the two of them to the list and keep a close eye on Alex, from the encounters Roman has described he is not to be taken lightly."
As Emerald added Alex and Pyrrha's names to the list Mercury said "You should be able to take her no problem, But im not sure about Alex, we still don't know what he's capable of."
"Oh, Mercury, it's not about overpowering the enemy, it's about taking away what power they have. And we will in time"
