Legal Disclaimer: The following is a fan-based take on RWBY which was created by Monty Oum (RIP) and Rooster Teeth. There will be some minor (or possible major) crossovers which belong to their respective owners. I own nothing but the concepts for Team YUKI.

(We're here for Volume 2 of this AU of mine, and it seems Adam's dead. I should be happy that Blake and Yang killed him, but all I'm thinking is that the writers really want to tease Bumbleebee. *sighs* Have Miles and Kerry not learned? They should really take a cue from Oda and focus on the story planning it ahead instead of writing by the seat of their pants. Besides, killing Adam is pretty much pointless. You killed the man, but his ideal is still around to fester. Moving on to the matters of the poll, ironically Yang won out by a large portion which means her story path is first. The twins will pop back up soon enough.)

Please enjoy the opening and ending themes.


[Far Away (遥か彼方, Haruka Kanata) – Asian Kung-Fu Generation]

Step on the accelerator!
There's no bargaining, it seems
To escape the night

Screw it, ultimately
There's nothing left, it seems
To pare down the days

Gently open your heart
If you tightly draw it close

You will surely get there
You will go farther!

Living fast, taking advantage
Feet are stuck but all along it's been that way, by far

Plundering, seizing
If you're not there
There will be no meaning

So truly far away

Volume 2, Episode 1: A Better Day Than the Rest (AU of Best Day Ever)

"So, Adam's dead?" Tempus said blankly looking at the screen.

She blew a noisemaker and changed the channel looking the least bit surprised.


Tuskon knew he was a dead man walking seeing he left the White Fang, but he had hoped that the Crossroad Killer had not decided to look for him. That was the lynchpin to get ready to leave earlier than he planned. However, he would awake to find it was already too late.

|Dragon's Den, Beacon Academy|

Weiss did not look good being woken up in the ungodly hours of the morning. She looked to see the sun was not even up, yet an alarm was blaring music she had heard become. Yang had smashed the alarm clock to see it had a tape recorder inside. Ruby took it up and hit play to hear the voice of Yuki.

Good morning, my students. If you're wondering why I had Lapis sneak into your room and place this is because I need you up early to train. In the common room Ruby, you'll find some scrolls each listed with a pair of weighted armbands for each of you. Now, Ivory wanted to record something. Yuki out.

The tape was garbled, and they could hear the door slam as Ivory spoke up.

And he's showering. Now, I've made you all some custom-fit workout wear to go with those weights, and it was not cheap to make them. Fair warning, once the armbands are on, your body will be weighed down by about 90lbs. So, get up at them because you have until we get back or else.

The recording ended and Team RWBY all hastily showered before they came out in the common room to find Ivory's gift for them. Weiss could only gape like a gift. The shirts with all white with lining in their respective colors with RWBY on the front with a number under it. Ruby had the number one, Weiss had the number two, Blake had number three, and Yang had number four. The shirts went down to halfway of their stomachs with a lining of their color around it. It came with matching shorts of their color, running shoes, black vambraces for all of them, and the scrolls with their tasks.

"Good oum, that woman. These shorts are tight as plastic wrap." Weiss said slipping them on.

"These look like something out of those films in Mistral." Blake remarked.

Ruby fell to the ground once she got on the weighted armbands and staggered up to her feet.

"Ok, Yuki wasn't kidding." Ruby remarked. "These weights are heavy."

They all get gotten the clothes and weights on them to see a note from Lapis.

If you think this is bad, the entire team wears weighted gear. Kelly wears 750,000lbs, I wear close to a million, Yuki's close to two, and Ivory is running up to 3.5 mil. Our weights are designed to increase slowly as we adjust. To put this into perspective, since our "return", we have not taken them off in battle. Weighted clothes suppress a warrior's full power while training. The mass of the weights can be increased to gain more power. Let that sink in. – Lapis

"Suppressing their full power…they've been holding back…the entire time." Yang said stunned.

"Adam…you've done it…you've created a monster." Blake thought.

"I need to train so I can get bigger weights too!" Ruby said excitedly. "Now let's see what our tasks."

They opened them and Yang had no idea how to respond to them.

|The Streets of Vale City, Vale – Later in the Morning|

Emerald could only roll her eyes at Mercury's attempt at flirting at her before then hitting on one of the women who worked at the "Nekohaten". Mercury walked with a bit of a swagger in his step apparently enjoying a bit of success.

"So, you realize that number is probably fake?" Emerald remarked snidely.

Mercury called it and promptly proved Emerald wrong much to mint-haired girl's disgust. As the two walked down the busy streets, Mercury asked how much further they had to walk.

"Just be patient. It's a few more blocks." Emerald said rolling her eyes again.

"Ugh... this place is so dull. Nothing ever seems to happen." Mercury said tempting fate. "At least that waitress was cute."

"Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture..." Emerald said only for Mercury to cut in saying, "And dumbasses who are easy to pickpocket for the "master thief"."

Emerald glares at him, groaning angrily, and walking away from him faster.

"Ugh... you're no fun today. You'd be fun if Cinder was around." Mercury muttered.

The duo arrived at Tuskon's Book Trade only to find no Tuskon, but a completely different person behind the counter. A short rose-haired rabbit Faunus with double iris purple eyes manned the store.

"Top of the morning, folks. Name's Evelyn Damerot and welcome to Tuskon's Book Trade where it is home to every book under the sun." Evelyn said with her nose in a book.

"Where's Tuskon?" Emerald asked.

"He's in the back." Evelyn said. "Give him a few minutes, but congratulations to be our first customers of the day. So, suck on these."

Evelyn pushed a small bowl of lollipops insisting they have one to celebrate the occasion. Emerald and Mercury took one to suck on noting the odd flavor.

"What flavor is this?" Emerald asked.

"Star fruit. In my hometown of Crossroad….we call them..." Evelyn said before suddenly taking a male voice. "suckers."

The voice change spooked them enough that they missed the shapeshifting. The book was closed to reveal Yuki towering with his full height. Emerald did not know Yuki, but Mercury did. His father did not know Yuki's true name, but knew him as the infamous Crossroad Killer. Marcus Black had wanted his semblance, which he and Mercury believed to be an advanced form of power copying and aura enhancement, but could never find him due to Mercury screwing his plans up. Mercury knew if his dad had ever gotten his mitts on Yuki's semblance, he'd be unstoppable. On cue, the doors slammed shut and Kelly made herself visible shedding her chameleon Faunus disguise. Emerald whipped her revolver sickles out aiming them at Yuki's head only for him to roll his eyes.

"Lapis." Yuki said as Emerald felt a hand on her shoulder only to feel chills as her body begin to encase in ice up to her neck.

"I assume you won't do anything stupid, Black." Ivory said coming down on the roof.

"I'd never thought I'd meet the infamous Crossroad Killer in person." Mercury said to Yuki. "My father…was a fan of yours."

"And I don't need the praise of your fucking father, Mercury. I bet you're wondering why I saved Tuskon." Yuki said with a smirk. "And Emerald, I suggest not using your semblance to screw with our heads. I came prepared."

Emerald looked as if she was caught with her pants down and asked how.

"That's a secret, Sustrai. Let's just say I have information, plenty on you, Black, and the cheap slut you two bend over too." Yuki said unabashed.

Mercury let out a chuckle as Emerald looked aghast.

"When Cinder finds out, she'll…" Emerald said only for breath to shorten.

Using Glynda's semblance, Yuki had telekinetically choking her.

"No, she won't. As far as she knows, her plan is going accordingly. Because if you tell her, I will portal to you while you're sleeping and silt your throats." Yuki remarked. "Unless you listen to my demands."

"You're bluffing!" Emerald spat out.

"No, he's not." Mercury said icily. "Emerald, this guy can copy other people's semblances. Besides we're outnumbered and outgunned. So, just shut the fuck up and listen."

Emerald pouted as Yuki released his telekinetic grip on her throat allowing her to breathe.

"Here's the deal, you two will go back to Cinder and let her know that Tuskon fled earlier than expected. And you'll play as if you never meet us." Yuki said coolly.

"Because you'll be seeing us on Beacon real soon, hun." Ivory teased.

"Yes, we know that you're using fake transcripts. In fact, you used mine and Ivory's transcripts to get into Haven." Kelly said with barely contained rage. "And we got blacklisted for it."

Emerald was sweating.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll pay your pickpocketing ass in full when you get to Beacon. Because thanks to a stroke of luck, we are at Beacon." Kelly said circling Emerald.

"As students?" Mercury asked.

"Try student-teachers. We are professors there." Yuki said a smirk as Mercury paled. "So, I could easily drop the ball to Ozpin about all this. So, what are you going to tell Cinder after you leave?"

"That he got away." Mercury said flatly.

"Good, then we're done here." Yuki said as the ice melted into water soaking Emerald's clothes. "Not sorry about the ice water because you are thirsty for someone hot."

"You ass-" Emerald said only for Kelly to punch her with an Armis-coated fist to knock her out.

"That's for the transcripts." Kelly said as Yuki tore open a portal with his knife. "Now I suggest you two get going. The new owner of this place is coming, and you don't want to meet her."

Team YUKI had left leaving an unconscious Emerald and an awake Mercury sighing at the mess he was in now.

-[R4S]-

|Beacon|

Team YUKI had returned to Beacon by method of portal to the sleeping Cinnabon in their room. The group changed into their teaching wear. For Yuki, it was his father's old dark red hoodie from his days at Beacon which had Team AGRE's combined symbol, black cargo pants, a fresh pair of high-top sneakers, and a lab coat. Lapis took a similar approach except she had a blue buttoned-down untucked shirt with a messy collar and flats instead. Kelly wore a floral button-down shirt, blue capris, black fingerless gloves with white lining, dark pink boots, and a standard Atlas military officers' coat with the symbol for Atlas crossed out. Ivory came out the bathroom in her teaching outfit. Ivory wears a loose, black necktie with a beige trench, a white crop-top with a mesh fishnet overshirt, white shorts, red combat boots, and a small white hairclip on the right side of her head.

"What?" Ivory asked as they all put their Beacon IDs on.

"You're going to teach in that?" Kelly sniped. "You look like you going to stand on the street corner."

"At least I'm not wearing an Atlas coat with the logo crossed out just to flip them off." Ivory sniped back. "Now let's go find our cute students."

Yuki groaned as they were all with Cinnabon awake and in Kelly's open satchel.

"Hey Yuki, think you can play us a song for us to walk in like we own the place?" Ivory asked.

"Serena. If you please." Yuki said.

[Mood Music: One Piece OST – Overtaken]

"Perfect." Ivory said as Kelly could not help chuckle at her strode with confidence.

In the Beacon Academy cafeteria, Team RWBY are sitting together mostly exhausted. Their tasks that they thought were cool were tedious and torturous.

"Was it that bad?" Nora asked.

"I had to deliver milk to rooms all over this building on a time limit." Blake groaned. "And I was not allowed to use my semblance."

"Ha! I'd rather that! I had to do 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, and a lap around the school." Weiss said between bites. "All before breakfast."

"I had to work on hand-to-hand…" Ruby said with a pout.

"At least you got to be active, I had to stay put and meditate for close to an hour." Yang complained.

RWB looked at her with a look of disdain.

"So, you sat on your ass while we busted ours? Are we sure Yuki isn't taking it easy on you because he likes you? And why are you still wearing that?" Weiss said pointing to the "gym outfit" that Yang was still wearing.

"He said that I had to "find my center" to bring out my true power…it was really vague. Besides, I have to wear it. It suits me and classes don't start until tomorrow. Not with all the transfers coming in." Yang said confident in her looks.

It was then they heard music as Team YUKI rolled into the scene with the song wrapping up.

[Mood Music Ends]

"Huh, I expected a food fight, but it seems my students are all too winded to start one." Yuki said walking over. "I see you succeeded in your tasks."

"Yuki, why the hell did Yang get the easy task?" Weiss asked Yuki glaring.

"Weiss, you had the easier task of working on your physical body? Yang has the more difficult task of working on her auric control and semblance handling. For someone who looks up to Winter, you'd think you wouldn't whine about that." Yuki remarked. "And what the heck is Yang wearing?"

"Ivory made it. You like?" Yang teased.

Yuki had a blush, but not for that reason instead whipping around to Ivory.

"What? I thought you looked really cute in those little outfits." Ivory said sheepishly.

"Oh, for the love of, please don't make this a habit." Yuki said facepalming before shifting his attention back to Team RWBY.

"Regardless, the team and I have made a decision on who we will focus on. Ruby automatically is under me, but I will take on Yang as well. Kelly has agreed to instruct Blake. When leaves Ivory and Lapis with Weiss." Yuki said as Lapis went over to get breakfast for the team. "First week, we'll be doing hand-to-hand and auric control."

Ruby groaned as Lapis brought Team YUKI breakfast. Nora keep flicking grapes at Yang who could barely catch them.

"After I'm done eating, we can start your training." Yuki said devouring his meal.

On cue, Neptune and Sun had arrived into the cafeteria and Lapis had turned to who entered. Face to face, a reunion was in the making.

"Wait, doesn't she look familiar?" Sun asked.

Neptune looked her over and it came to him.

"Now I remember her face. The chick who controls water….she did fly to Vale on wings of blood." Neptune said looking her over closely. "And certainly, she grew up."

"Ignore my friend here, I'm Sun. Sun Wukong." Sun said offering a hand.

"Lapis. Lapis Kristal." Lapis said plainly taking his hand to shake. "But I suppose it's Professor Kristal to you."

"What wait?" Neptune said confused.

A few explanations later and Sun was excited.

"That's why the news was blowing up! Man, I can't believe it. You have to be crazy skilled for Ozpin to make all of you student-teachers." Sun said.

"Or fucking lucky. Let's be honest, Lapis has a broken semblance." Neptune said rolling his eyes.

"It matters on how one uses their semblances. The more training, the more they evolve to shift with us." Yuki said as he finished his food.

"I'm surprised they let a serial killer pretty much go without consequence." Neptune said with a raised eyebrow.

"Well take into account that I was only killing White Fang members that no one wants to prosecute me for." Yuki said knowingly. "I'll probably get in trouble for those Hu Mann assholes, but not today."

Team YUKI had left with Team RWBY to start training unaware Jaune noticed them and decided to follow from a distance.

|An Apartment in Vale City|

Neo had not been planning on having visitors come to her house at all and it shows. For one, she chose to live in the artisanal district was full of hand-crafted furniture shops, microbreweries and other hipster outlets with her herself having an empty shop front to ensure only she lived there. Second, her apartment was a mess with just a few bras haphazardly tossed around, or maybe a sex aid or two left out in the open, she probably wouldn't have batted an eye. Thirdly, it was blatantly obvious that this was the home of a thief with stolen loot littered the sizable, multi-room apartment.

Rare paintings filched from museums, stacks of Lien chips far more than any Huntsman could make in a year, suitcases full of Dust and other reminders of Neo's larcenous career were just strewn about. Seeing how she wasn't a particularly social girl, and very few ever got to see the inside of her residence, Neo normally didn't care about keeping things clean or organized. So when a knock on the door came, Neo was in the middle of a shower. Towel around her body, she answered to see a hooded face that annoyed her.

"Well well…what a pleasant surprise." He remarked. "Seems Cash makes his lucky…."

Neo was about to slam the door on his face only for Cash to catch it.

"Wait, I got information to deliver to you." Cash said as Neo pushed harder. "About…that little Crossroad Killer you hung around with."

Neo stopped to open the door and grabbed Cash by the collar throwing him into the wall before he fell to the couch. Neo closed the door and glared at him.

"Damn it, girl. This hoodie's custom." Cash said taking off the hoodie to show his dark hair and black eyes. "I'll give your information. It's from Kendra of the Purple Dragons. She was Mistral with her gang when they discovered that someone has put a hit out on your boy and his team."

Neo stepped forward glaring harder and Cash started to sweat.

"If you want to know who put the hit out, maybe you could…AUGHH!" Cash said as Neo planted her foot down on his crotch crushing his stick and berries. "Ok, it's Team SICC! Team SICC was hired to kill Yuki and some chick called Ruby. Who hired them, Purple Dragon didn't find out. All they know that Malachite's crew… the Spider Syndicate is involved. Now get your foot out of my dick!" Cash screech.

Neo obliged and threw him out of her window. She was worried for Yuki and knew she had to get this information to him. She could not just go to Beacon though. She looked to a poster for Junior's Club and got an idea.

-[R4S]-

|Abandoned Temple, Emerald Forest, Vale|

"Well, you've given me ideas of what we need to work on. Good thing you all didn't take off the weights, which you can now." Yuki said as Team RWBY shed the weights.

The four were back in those "outfits" Ivory made and glad to be rid of the weighted arm bands.

"So, no more weights?" Weiss asked.

Kelly laughed at her.

"Those weights were the basic stuff, and I'm working on a custom set like ours. One that will adjust with your body. Now let me explain something to all of you. When it comes down to it, your weapons wouldn't matter if the body isn't solid, then you falter." Yuki remarked looking over to Kelly. "I had Kelly do a bit of research into your health habits and medical records, and she has some words to say."

"Weiss. While you're mostly healthy, your stamina isn't up to snuff and you're pretty much a glass canon. You have a versatile semblance and swordsmanship, but you tire a bit too easily. So, I'm recommend you eat a bit more, and exercise your body regularly." Kelly said before moving onto Ruby. "Ruby. I do not see any problem with you so far, but all I suggest is that you cut down on the cookies. You could use some more stamina training."

Ruby pouted at that before Kelly turned to Blake and Yang.

"As for you two, you're fine, but I assume working on your legs." Kelly said looking down at her clipboard.

"But my fighting style uses my arms." Yang said confused.

"Yuki will explain after he briefs you." Kelly said as Yuki cleared his throat. "Which is now."

"Ruby, we're going to keep working on your hand-to-hand. You won't get it in a day, but you make some progress. Weiss, I'm going to be blunt, you were awful. But that's probably because you didn't train with such intensity. Might I recommend getting your sister to aid your training? Blake, you were okay. At least, you're training not to be garbage tier like most of the White Fang spiel. And lastly, Yang. I must say that you have taken to Chimamire Kenpo excellently. A bit rough on the leg work, but not a good start." Yuki said. "So, now to reward your hard work, I suppose I'll show you an auric technique for you to practice."

"In times past, aura was used more for attacking then defense. However, when semblances become prevalent, aura was shoved into the defensive role as not everyone has the patience and skill for the attacks." Ivory explained before turning to Yuki. "So, what are you to teach them?"

"Something simple. The Aura Piercer would be a good start." Yuki said turning to Team RWBY. "The attack is a concentrated beam of aura you fire from your finger or fingers if you can't handle one. Like this."

[Mood Music – Theme of Yuki - (Dragon Ball Z Supersonic Warriors 2 – Ice Field)]

His snowy blue aura flared as he slowly raised his index finger with tip glowing snowy blue.

"Aura Piercer!" Yuki said firing a small, thin, very fast and concentrated laser-like beam of aura from his index finger.

The beam sliced through several trees and through a Deathstalker's tail leaving the stinger to fall on its head killing it.

"Whoa, that is so cool!" Ruby said starry-eyed. "Let me try it!"

"Now Ruby, you can't just copy the technique after seeing it…." Yuki said only for Ruby to attempt to copy him worked perfectly.

He promptly shut up when she succeeded. The red beam was wavy and didn't go far before blowing up a tree.

"Well, that's impressive." Lapis said bluntly.

For the others, it took a bit longer. Weiss was able to do it with one finger, but it could only go two feet before sizzling out on the ground to explode.

"What's wrong, Weiss? Aurically impotent?" Kelly teased as she high-fived Ivory who responded, "I was just thinking that!"

Blake was a bit more luckier having succeeded with hers was invisible to the untrained eye only until it exploded. Yang need two fingers to pull off a shot after several tries before Yuki called it a day.

"How about I treat you to lunch at the Nekohaten?" Yuki said getting a knife to tear open a portal. "On me."

"Ok, you could have got to tell me about my birth mother because you just keep using her semblance so…easily?" Yang asked.

"I have plenty to say about her…but it's not really pleasant. In blunt, you're the second decent thing she's brought into the world." Yuki said not even hiding his disdain.

"What was the first?" Ruby asked.

"Questioning Ozpin…" Yuki muttered as Lapis picked up the weights putting them in a "storage cube" similar to the ones used for their bikes. "Now c'mon, I bet Glynda is wondering why there's a portal near her."

They all exited through the portal as Glynda shriek at eight people being in her bathroom as she was…in the midst of a bathroom break. Back in the Emerald Forest, a certain knight fell on his ass.

"If I hadn't dodged that blast, I could have been killed!" Jaune said getting to his feet. "But following them was worth it. Now to practice it on some Grimm on the way back."

-[R4S]-

|Train Station, A Good Distance out of Mistral City|

"What do you mean it broke down!" Rita Peach said to the conductor. "I need to get to Vale very soon."

"I'm sorry, miss. But the engine's busted. Probably sabotaged by the Branwen Bandit tribe." The conductor said bitterly.

"Wait, Branwen tribe? The leader wouldn't happen to be a woman armed with a red sword, have red air, and dress in all black." Peach asked with a raised eyebrow.

When the conductor nodded, Peach had an idea. She took up her bags and got off the train platform.

"Guess I'll just have to fly." Peach said with a chuckle.

Peach's back glowed blue as out from her back came a jet pack with a pair of wide peach turbine wings. She clipped her bags to the jet packs and took on the controls before taking off into the skies leaving the conductor stunned. Peach's semblance was a rather strange one, and it was she discovered after graduating Beacon. Soaring the skies, Peach looked through her googles seeking signs of life and found it.

"So, Raven has continued her tribe?" Peach remarked. "Well, time to make a landing."

Peach flew down and had the machine dissemble back into her back vanishing into her aura. Peach got her bags and calmly walked right up to the gate where two bandits guarded it.

"Hey, you, what do you want with our tribe?" One of them asked.

"Simple, I need to see your leader. Please step aside." Peach said kindly.

"What if I say no, bitch?" The bandit said flashing a knife.

"Then I shall get my weapon to fight you." Peach said opening her lab coat and getting out her weapon out of the pocket. "I call it Malpractice."

The gun was an oddly-shaped air-powered gun but mounted on top of the weapon is a transparent grey cylindrical case filled with syringes. It was strange….and the last thing those two bandits ever saw as they were shot with it meeting a hail of syringes. Rita Peach boldly got her bags and kicked open the gate calmly pointing to the dying bandits before cocking her gun.

"Now, where's your leader?" Peach asked as Raven took off her mask.

"Rita Peach. This is most unexpected…what do I owe the unwelcomed visit?" Raven asked glaring at the scientist.

"I was going to take the train to Vale, but your tribe ruined that. So, I came to ask you to portal me to Vale." Peach said. "And it's Professor Peach."

Raven let out a chuckle walking towards her.

"So, the awkward nerd waltzes in here expecting help. Well well, you're all alone without your precious leader to back you up. I heard he's died along with wife. So, that leaves you and Glynda. Quite a shame, but what do you expect from a weak-willed hero?" Raven said nonchalantly as Peach was restraining herself from choking Raven.

"Take that back." Peach said sourly glaring in Raven's red spheres.

"Make me." Raven said shoving Peach back. "You don't even have a semblance."

Peach started laughing as a blue-circuitry pattern formed on her skin as orange armor grew over her body. Bulky orange-colored armor plates form onto the arms and legs of her body armor as the red chest plate becomes thicker with dual lights. A red helmet with a peach visor flashed over her head as Raven was at a loss for words.

"Actually, I do have a semblance, and on that note…Armis." Peach said now taking some of Raven's smugness.

WHAM! An Armis-coated punch send Raven crashing into the fence for her camp. The bandits opened fire, but bullets did not faze her as she dashed right Raven's face grabbing her by the throat with her right arm.

"Make. The. PORTAL!" Peach said as her left arm morphed showing plenty of medical tools. "Or I'll do some "surgery" on your face!"

Raven was somewhat terrified as she had seen Peach do the same thing to Grimm and it was only time she would ever feel pity for a Grimm. Raven could not resort to her maiden powers lest exposing herself, and Peach picked the one day Vernal was in town getting a checkup at the doctor in the city of Mistral. Begrudgingly, she gave Peach a portal to Taiyang, and Peach threw her to the ground via ensuring a broken nose. Peach got her bags and left through the portal before the armor returned into her body leaving her to collapse on Taiyang's living room floor as the portal closed.

"I think that bitch broke my nose." Raven thought holding her throbbing nose.

|Vale|

Night fall as Roman had to deal with the pain that was Cinder wanting to check on the plan. Roman never really liked Cinder and found her a bit cocksure for his liking. He was walking right into Junior's annoyed that Emerald stole his lighter and needing a drink. Neo had also made the call telling him to come here for something important. He was just glad for the excuse to get away from the flaming pain. As Junior led in up to the private room, he met some familiar face.

"Roman!" Ruby/Blake squeaked.

"Red!" Roman said.

"Roman!" Yuki said with a gleeful look.

"Yuki Azure, Lapis Lazuli, you're all grown up from the squirts Neo and I knew." Roman said with a chuckle.

Teams RWBY and YUKI were all gathered in the room, while Neo was in the restroom for the moment.

"Wait, you two know Roman?" Ruby and Blake screamed.

"Remember when I said the twins and Junior were family to me and Lapis?" Yuki said as they nodded. "Meet the other members."

"But he's a criminal!" Ruby touted.

"Look, Yuki and Lapis are pretty much serial killers and I committed matricide. Yet, we're your teachers." Kelly pointed out.

Ruby promptly shut up as Neo walked in hugging Yuki tightly.

"Good to see you too, but I figure this isn't a gathering to celebrate." Yuki said as Neo handed Roman her scroll to read something.

"I see why she called this gathering. Apparently, she got information that someone wants not only you dead…but Little Red as well." Roman said surprised.

The mood darkened as glasses clink and eyes steeled.

[Mood Music: One Piece OST – Bad Guy]

"Any reason why?" Yuki asked.

"Nope, all Neo was able to get was the group who arranged the deal and who's coming after you." Roman said. "I'll send you the information."

"Got it." Yuki said having used his Semblance to take that information off the scroll with ease before taking up his scroll. "We're being hunted by…Team SICC. Never heard of them."

"Neither have we, probably some hunters turned rogue." Roman said as Neo had a look of concern.

"Shouldn't we tell Ozpin about this? Maybe he could help." Weiss asked.

"Or make things worse." Yuki thought. "Not like I got a choice."

"Thanks for the assist, Roman." Lapis said getting up. "We should catch up, but we need to go. Last bullhead before curfew for them."

As the team filed out, Yuki stayed behind leaving him, Roman, and Neo. A vision of the future had triggered seeing him, and he knew he had to say something.

"Roman, I know you're working for Cinder. Don't know how I know because there's not enough time to explain at the moment. All I have is a warning, Cinder's plan will get you killed." Yuki said quietly before leaving.

Roman and Neo was stunned as Yuki was leaving. He flagged Melanie down.

"Mel, I need you to tell Roman and Neo what I told you." Yuki explained.

"You sure?" Melanie asked.

"I trust them, plus they need to do." Yuki said before leaving to catch up with his team.


(A/N: Neo and Roman, everyone. Plus, I have revealed Professor Peach's weapons and semblance. To put it simply, imagine Generator Rex's power set combined with Samus's Power Suits. Yeah, Yuki and she will get along very well. As for Jaune, don't worry, I have plans for him. Ideas for auric attacks, I happen to have plenty for and trust me it'll be…a blast.)

The Trivia Question is still ongoing, and I will repost it once again: Inque and Stalker were both apart of one supervillain team in the DCAU, what was its name, who were all the members of it, and which series did they appear in?
