( Two days after team formation)
Rosemary was sleeping peacefully until she heard a loud thud, turns out that Wyatt had just got done with upside down sit-ups on the pull-up bar he set up for the team in the closet doorway, he turned and saw her irritated look and he scratched the back of his head, "Sorry for waking you up." he said.
She sighed and said, "It's alright just don't go making a habit of it."
"Alright, well I am going to take a shower and before you ask Quenton and Orange went to get our schedule for classes." he grabbed his uniform as well as a towel.
While Wyatt was taking a shower Rosemary made her bed to the Atlas military standard out of habit, she then looked around and saw how her teammates had decorated there portions of the room. On her far right was Orange's side was what looked like posters of combat tournaments and some photos of what looked like her family or maybe her tribe and some armor pieces on the desk as well as a cleaning kit for her sniper rifle . Then next to that was Quenton's side were many, many sharp objects from butterfly knives and switchblades to throwing knives and shuriken were on the desk as well as a whet stone in order to sharpen them and his trench knives and a book about tracking Grimm. To her immediate left was Wyatt's area where she could see that he had been trying to make some type of new dust round for his .50 Cal machinegun as well as the rest of the teams weapons, she could also see a clear dust crystal that she had never seen before. Then she looked at her area of the room and she could see how organized it was as compared to the rest of her team, but she could also see that she had the least amount of personal effect as compared to the rest of her team. She looked over to the clock next to her bed and it said it was currently 0645. After about ten minutes Wyatt came out of the bathroom wearing his school uniform thankfully it allowed his wings and tail to show, right after he came out Quenton and Orange came back along with some breakfast from the cafeteria. After some small talk they saw the time was now 0800, so the made there way to class.
They were one of the first teams to show up and watched as the rest started to trickle in except for Team JNPR and RWBY, they showed up at exactly 0900 and were out of breath as if they ran all the way here. "Alright every one get to your seats." said Prof. Port the one teaching the class, who also had two cages wheeled in as well.
He then went to the front of the class and said, "Monsters, Demons, Prowlers of the night, yes the Creatures of Grimm have many names. But I merely refer to them as Pray, HA HA AH." he then saw that no one else was laughing with him, "UH, and you shall to upon graduating from this prestigious academy. Now as I was saying Vale as well as the other three kingdoms are safe havens in an other wise traitorous world.
"Our world is absolutely teaming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces and that's where we come in Huntsmen, Huntress, ch ch." as he looked over to Yang, who felt slightly uncomfortable, "Individuals who have sworn to protect those, who can't protect themselves. From what? You ask, why the very World!"
"HEY YEAH!" cheered someone in the back of the class.
"That is what you are training to become but first a story, a tale of a young handsome man. ME!"
Prof. Port then started to go into detail about his adventure Rosemary looked over to see that her team was having about as much fun as she was in regards to this lecture, Quenton was trying to pay attention but was extremely board so he brought out one of his butterfly knives and started to preform some tricks under the table with it. Wyatt was fairing no better he could barley stay awake, so he brought out a whet stone and started to sharpen his tail blade in order to stay awake and attention to Prof. Port. Their leader Orange for the most part was paying attention and taking notes, but unfortunately couldn't keep track as to where the story was going. She then heard some giggling up at the front and saw Team RWBY except Weiss laughing about something. "(Cough) In the end the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity." Prof, Port said continuing his story.
"And I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high celebrated as a hero," he then took a bow, "The moral of the story a true huntsman must be honorable, a true huntsman must be dependable, a true huntsman must be strategic, well educated and wise. So who among you believe to be the embodiment of these traits?"
Weiss raised her hand and said, "I do, sir."
"Well then lets find out step forward and face your opponent. But I will need another who believes themselves to be an embodiment of these trait?"
Rosemary believed that this was a good opportunity to test herself against another type of Grimm besides the ones she fought back in the Emerald Forest, so she raised her hand and said, "I believe I do as well, sir"
"excellent!" Prof. Port said, "both of you go and change for your fight against these beasts."
When they came back Weiss was in her combat skirt and jacket combo as well as her weapon Myrtenaster , while Rosemary was in her Atlas cadet combat uniform (basically think of Winter Schnee's uniform) and her weapon Folsom. They both got in position to take on whatevercame out of the cages. "Are you both ready?" asked Prof. Port.
They both nodded, Rosemary could hear Weiss' team cheer her on but for some reason she snapped at Ruby. She also heard, "Go Rosy!" said Quenton using the nickname that he gave her on there day of rest.
"You've got this!" said Wyatt.
"Go Rosy, show them what our team has to offer!" said Orange
Rosemary smirked ready for Prof. Port to open the cages, she changed Folsom into it's rapier mode just as he used his blunder-axe to open the cages and out popped two Boarbatusk and they charged both of them. Rosemary jumped over the pig and tried to stab it behind it's shoulder armor but it turned out to be to thick, she then heard Quenton's voice callout, "Wait for it to charge and hit something or shot it in the head with your shotgun, then go for the belly it has no armor there."
She thought about his advice as well as analyze the pig and could confirm that it didn't have any armor on it's belly, so she changed to her shotgun and waited for it to charge. But instead of a regular charge it curled into a ball and started to roll at her at high speed. Before it hit her she shot and the shot connected with the middle of the pig's back. This caused the pig to tumble out of it's roll and on to it's back giving Rosemary the opportunity she was waiting for, quickly she changed back to her rapier and stabbed the pig in the belly making it squeal before dyeing. She took a few breaths before she looked over and saw Weiss just killing her Boarbatusk, "Bravo, bravo it appears we are in the presence of two true huntresses in training." said Prof. Port, "I am afraid that is all the time we have for today be sure to cover the assigned readings and stay Vigilant. Class dismissed"
With the class over they all started to make their way out of the class room, but not before a Rosemary saw Weiss storm off towards the exit. She also saw a look of worry on Ruby's face for her friend and took off after her and go around a corner, She turned to her team and said, "Hey you guys go on ahead I be there in a bit." she then went over to where they went.
She then heard, "Your supposed to be a leader and all you've been so far is a nuisance." said Weiss.
Ruby then scoffed and said, "What did I do?"
"That's just it! You've done nothing to earn your position. Back in the forest you acted like a child and you've only continued to do so."
"Weiss where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about working together, I thought you believed in acting like a team?"
"Not a team led by you. I've studied and trained and frankly I deserve better."
At this point Rosemary had enough of this talk and decided to make her presence known, "Ahem, well that was certainly something."
Both girls turned and saw her standing with her hand behind her back, "How much of that did you hear?" asked Ruby.
"Enough to know that something needs to be done."
"Rosemary, I..." Weiss started but was cut off by Rosemary.
"No, Weiss this is something that you need to hear. I know that you think that you deserve better than being on a team led by Ruby. But you must understand that Ozpin wouldn't have chosen her to be the leader if he didn't see some thing that pointed to her being a leader. Yes, she might be younger than all of us and she could use a little more guidance. But that is where you and the rest of the team come in, you all can help her to become a better leader and help shape her into a more proficient huntress as well. But it all depends on you, do you become a better teammate or do you keep trying to get what you want. The choice is yours to make." after she was done Rosemary did an about face and left to catch up with the rest of her team.
The day dragged on and not much happened, when they got back to there dorms she saw that Weiss wasn't with team RWBY. She was worried that she might've been a little to hard until she heard, "Rosemary!" she turned and saw Weiss walking up to her.
"I just wanted to say thank you."
"Whatever for?" asked Rosemary.
"For giving me something think about. Your right I may not be the leader of team RWBY but I can most definitely help Ruby what it means to be a leader."
"That's what I was going for, but I am not the one you should be talking to about this." Rosemary motioned for her to go talk to Ruby.
With that Rosemary watched her walk into Team RWBY's dorm, she then walked into her dorm to see Wyatt at his desk studying as well as continuing his work on the new dust rounds. She saw Quenton sharpening one of his knives and occasionally glancing at his open book next to him. Then there was their leader Orange who was sitting on the window sill with the window open gazing at the stars. Curios she walked over to Orange and asked, "Everything alright?"
Orange looked at her and then back to the stars, "I am just wondering about why Ozpin wants me to be the leader of our team."
That got the attention of both Wyatt and Quenton, "What brought this on?" asked Wyatt.
"Today in class when Rosemary was fighting I was thinking about back in the forest that if you hadn't been there Wyatt to watch my left, I probably would've died out there." she then points to her eyepatch over her left eye, "I am not the most perceptive person around, I might have learned to live with it but that doesn't fix the problem. I would probably become a burden to the team, not being able to watch your guys backs effectively"
Everyone was surprised by this statement, Quenton then jumped into the conversation, "Well, so what if you don't have a left eye, You can still kickass with the best of them. I mean shit you beat Pyrrah in the last tournament. We are also here to help each other."
"Yeah, plus I heard of a way some people have been able to see with there aura even though they are blind." said Wyatt
She looked over at Wyatt with a surprised look on her face," Really, they are able to use aura to see?"
"Yeah, and I've met one before in downtown Vale. I am sure that we can go there this weekend. He kind of owes me a favor for saving his shop a while back."
"Yes, you see Orange your not a burden to the team and like Quenton said we're here to help each other." said Rosemary she then looked at Quenton and said, "But really Quenton Rosy?"
"Well, Rosemary is a mouthful." said Quenton while he shrugged.
"Well, you are lucky that I like the nickname Rosy."
They all talked a while longer before going to bed for the night. Rosy stayed up a little longer thinking about how her siblings took the news of her being disowned and going to study at Beacon rather than Atlas.
(Later that week)
Team OWRQ were walking to downtown Vale to meet Wyatt's friend that could help Orange with regaining her sight in her left eye and this had her extremely nervous. When she first lost her eye she had a hard time coping with it and the fact that it happened during a tournament was another. She was almost forced to give up on being a warrior and a huntress all together, because the headmaster for her combat school thought that she wouldn't be able to compete in the tournaments and that she wouldn't be able to compensate for the lost eye while in combat. That was until she proved them wrong, after she worked twice as hard to win her first tournament since the accident and she worked for times as hard than anyone in her combat school to prove that no matter what she could still fight. But despite all of this she always had that one nagging feeling in the back of her mind, that no matter how hard she worked she would never be able to fully compete with everybody but she would always push it out of her mind. But when Ozpin made her the leader of Team OWRQ the nagging thoughts came back twice as hard, telling her that she was going to eventually get all of her teammates killed because she wasn't able to watch there backs. But that is why they were going to meet Wyatt's friend to help her be able to see once more.
They walked up to a weapon forge on the sign it said, 'The Blind Swordsman' Wyatt then motioned for them to enter and when the did the could see the walls on both sides of the shop was lined with swords, axes, katanas, armor and shields. They could hear the hammering of metal in the back of the shop, as the front door closed they heard a weathered voice from the back, "I will be with you in a minute."
As they were waiting they took a closer look at the blades and armor around the shop they could see that the metal was expertly forged and the level of craftsmanship was unprecedented. They then heard, "I see that you all are admiring my work."
they all turned to see a human man that stood at about 5'10", he wore a blacksmiths apron, black pants and boots, but the detail that stood out the most was that he looked at all of them with three claw marks going over both eyes and they were milky white. But despite that they felt as if he could see all of them, he then looked at Wyatt and said, "Wyatt my friend, who are these people here with you?"
"These are my teammates that I told you about in the letter I told you about." Wyatt said, "The one currently looking at your knives is Quenton," Quenton looked up and waved, "The one over by the rapiers is Rosy," Rosy waved to the Wyatt's friend and then glared at Wyatt, "and the one staring at us is..."
"Orange Bell, the one eyed champion." said the man.
"How did you know that?" asked Orange.
"I could tell who you were because I can see that eye patch on your left and by your Armor. My name is George Groth."
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Groth. So Wyatt was telling the truth about you being able to see even though you lost your eye."
"Of course he is right and George is fine, but I have a question for you. Why is it that you haven't already been able to do it?"
Orange looked at him confused before asking, "What do you mean by that?"
"Why haven't you already used your aura to see again."
"I don't know how to use it to see again."
"Ah, I see it now. You doubt yourself." George said crossing his arms, "You think that you will never be able to compete with someone who has full eyesight, despite what you have already accomplished."
"How did you know that?"
"The other benefit of using aura to see you can also see other peoples aura as well if you focus on one person hard enough. I can see that it wants to help and give you back your eyesight in your left eye but your thoughts of self doubt are keeping it from making it so."
"So how do I fix it?"
"You must look inside yourself and defeat what ever it is that is keeping your soul from your left eye. I can help guide you to what ever it is but you have to defeat it."
Orange looked at the rest of her team and saw them smiling at her, before she could say anything Wyatt walked up to her and said, "Orange your strong, we all know this and no matter what happens, we are here for you, for you are our friend."
Orange smiled and nodded, she looked over to George who motioned for her to stand before him. When in position he put his hands on her head, she started feeling herself fall unconscious. When she opened her eyes again she saw a hallway that was half white and half black. She looked into the darkened hallway and saw herself but at the same time it wasn't, the dark clone was made of pure darkness but it's eyes were glowing red. Orange was surprised by this but before she could say anything the dark clone drew it's own version of her Claymore Mjoll and charged, when it got close it swung for her head. Orange quickly rolled out of the way and drew Mjoll as well but she didn't charge instead she started circling the dark clone and it did so as well. She then charged and swung Mjoll to it's right and it blocked it, but she tried to punch it in the left side and it caught her fist. She then realized that the clone had it's full eyesight, but as the thoughts of self doubt started to fill her mind she saw that it's eyes started to glow brighter. She realized that this was her thoughts of self doubt in a form that knew everything that she did, just when more thoughts started she could hear the voices of her friends telling her that she wasn't a burden on them and that they will always be there for each other. The Dark clone teleported to her left and swung it's sword at her, but with out even turning to see it with her good eye she blocked the swing with Mjoll. She turned and saw that now the clone had a missing eye, and she could now see everything to her left now, with this she swung her sword to the left of the clone and it failed to block so she continued the assault of swings. Going left, right, and then to the head the clone couldn't keep up, then Orange ended the encounter with a swing from the left towards the head of the clone. It failed to block the swing that took it's head from it's shoulders, with the dark clone of her dead Orange saw the dark half of the hallway fade away. There was a blinding orange flash and the next thing that she knew she was standing in front of George and she felt hands on her shoulders.
She turned and saw that she had her team surrounding her lending her the strength that she needed to finally get rid of her self doubting thoughts. She then reached for her eyepatch and pulled it off, this allowed every one to see the dull orange colored eye that had a thin line going vertical over it. She then looked left and right and found that she could see out of her left eye again, she was so happy that she started to shed tears of pure joy now that she was able see everything more clearly than she had in years.
With tears in her eyes she turned to George and said, "Thank you so very much George."
"It was nothing dear, you reminded me of how I was when I first lost my eyes to a Alpha Beowolf. But that is a story for another time and I unfortunately need to get back to forging." George turned and stated to back to the forge only to stop and say, "You all are welcome here any time, oh and before I forget Orange you need to keep practicing with your aura to strengthen your left eye that way your aura will stay active subconsciously."
(Four weeks later)
Wyatt woke up before the rest of his team as usual so he dressed him self in a long sleeve t-shirt and gym shorts, he then grabbed his gym bag and headed for the schools gym. When he got there he started his hand to hand practice, he went over to the hanging punching bag and started doing combs with just fists, then he switched to just leg combos and finally putting all together. As he was doing this he failed to notice that he had company, "I didn't know that you fought hand to hand as well." he stopped and looked over to the entrance of the gym and saw Yang standing there.
"Hey, Yang." he said before he finished up a few more combos and turned back to the blonde brawler, "So what's up"
Yang for the most part was trying to stare at his shirt that was clinging to him, "Well I was here to practice more of my hand to hand, but since your here. How about that spar you owe me?"
Wyatt looked at her and chuckled, "Alright, I am game."
He went over to his gym bag and started taking off his gauntlets and changed into a short sleeved shirt. While he was doing this Yang was watching him with a critical eye, as he took off his gauntlets she could see scars running along his hands and going up his arms. But when he was changing shirts she saw claw like scars going down his back. This got Yang wondering what happened to him and that when she thought about it this was also the first time she's seen him without a his gauntlets. He walked over to the ring on the far side of the gym and started stretching, she walked over to the ring and into the opposite corner and took up her stance. Wyatt took up his stance as well and said, "Alright no semblances and no cheap shots. Just straight up hand to hand, sound good."
"Sounds good to me big guy, ready when you are."
They watched each other for a little, then Wyatt charged at Yang he threw his fist aiming for her head. Yang blocked his fist and countered with a punch to his stomach which he blocked with a knee. They continued exchanging punches and blocking each other until yang managed to slip a punch past Wyatt's defense and landed a punch to his stomach. Wyatt flinched, he broke off and backed up, but Yang wasn't letting up on him. Pressing her advantage she tried to throw a punch at his head, but before her fist met his face he caught it and countered with a uppercut. Yang wasn't able to react fast enough to block the uppercut, she backed up a little and then smiled before starting the dance of hand to hand combat all over again. After what felt like hours they stopped, breathing heavily they smiled at each other Wyatt then said, "I got to say Yang, your very good at hand to hand combat."
She chuckled and said, "Your no slouch ether, Where did you learn to fight like that?"
"I learned from my mother when I was younger." he said with a sad look on his face.
Yang saw this and wondered why he looked sad talking about his family. But when he looked back at her she noticed his yellow eye was slightly glowing and she felt something inside her awaken, but as it appeared it and the feeling went away. She shook her head before saying, "Well I had fun, we should do this again sometime."
Wyatt chuckled and said, "I am ok with that, I wouldn't mind having a gym partner." He then grabbed his gym bag and walked out the gym.
Just as Yang was about to head back to her dorm she noticed he left his gauntlets on the bench where his bag was. She walked over and picked them up, she noticed that there were small slits at the tips of the fingers. She could see that who ever made these definitely put a lot of times to make these, as she looked inside she saw an inscription, 'To my little Dragon, always remember that some nights in life might be so dark that you might lose your way, but they will always give way to a brighter dawn and you will find your way again. Love Mom' Yang's eyes widened finally knowing who had made the gauntlets. She put them in her bag and walked back to her dorm figuring that she would give them back later.
Wyatt got back to his dorm and woke up the rest of his team in order to get ready for the day. He took a shower and after he looked at his reflection in the sink mirror and saw that his yellow eye was slightly brighter that his red one. He quickly thought nothing of it and got ready for class, their first class was Prof. Goodwitch's combat class. When they got there Goodwitch said, "Alright class, today we are going to have some one an one duels starting with Mr. Vulcan and Ms. Nikos. Please go retrieve your gear and then come to the arena. "
Wyatt walked in to the locker room to retrieve his gear, as he was grabbing his axe Grimm Oath he looked at the blade when he noticed that he didn't have his gauntlets. He then remembered that he didn't grab them after his spar with Yang, he just hoped that she grabbed them for him. He turned and walked to the entrance of the arena, when he entered he saw Pyrrah had already drew Milo and Akuo. Wyatt walked to the middle of the arena and got into position ready to fight the lights dimmed until him and Pyrrah were the only ones visible. They Charged each other blocking and slashing, Pyrrah managed to slip into his defenses and got a few hits in taking Wyatt's aura down to yellow. Wyatt managed to hook her shield with the blade of his axe and tossed it to the other side of the arena and managed to punch her back with his off hand, after stumbling back Pyrrah to switch to her spear. She tried to maneuver around Wyatt to get to her shield but Wyatt would block her every time until she decided to make a mad dash past him. Knowing that he didn't have the speed to cut her Wyatt changed to his HMG and started shooting, Pyrrah could feel the .50 caliber rounds impacting just behind her as she jumped for her shield and grabbing it. Unfortunately she got hit with about five round before blocking the rest with her shield, this caused her aura to fall really close to the red. Thinking quickly Pyrrah changed to her Rifle and shot at Wyatt, He gut hit with a few rounds before hi used his fire breath semblance to block the rest by making a wall of fire in front of him. He then jumped through an tackled Pyrrah they ended up rolling until Pyrrah was on top, with her shield in his chest and her sword pointed at his throat, "Do you Yield?" she asked.
Wyatt looked at the sword and chuckled, "Yeah, I do"
"Ms. Nikos, wins by Forfeit" said Goodwitch
Pyrrah offered Wyatt her hand and he took it but as their hands touched his red eye started to glow, Pyrrah also felt like something inside her awoke. But as quickly as it happened it was gone, she saw Wyatt walking back to the locker room, "Well Pyrrah we definitely have to spar like that again sometime."
She stared at his retreating form for a bit before she caught up with him, "So Wyatt where did you learn to fight like that?"
"I learned from my parents since I was six, my dad taught me how to use a axe and marksmanship, while mom taught me hand to hand. Why do you ask?"
"No reason just curios, But I do want to ask you if you know why one of your eyes glowed?"
"Really, well I didn't really know. I guess I will have to look into that."
Pyrrah looked at him with some worry before nodding, they both went back to the stands to see Jaune and Cardin facing each other. Jaune was trying his best against him but he was trying to muscle his way though the obstacle that is Cardin, There match was eventually stopped by Goodwitch. She then went on to announce that the Vytal Festival was coming up and that anyone participating in the combat tournament should be practicing to be ready. Wyatt saw Orange and Pyrrah both look at Jaune with some sympathy, when they got to lunch they were listening to Nora talk about her recurring dream with Rem correcting her all the time at the end Quenton said, "I don't know what is weirder. The fact that she has had this same dream for a month or that you know exactly how is goes down."
Wyatt was about to add to it when he heard laughter and looked and saw Cardin and his team picking on a Fanaus rabbit girl. He got up and walked over to them and said, "Hey, why don't you guys pick on someone your own size." They all looked at him and walked over giving the rabbit girl a way to leave.
Cardin got in his face and said, "Oh yeah and what are you going to do huh. I bet that you cant even fight without your axe." They all started laughing.
Wyatt then punched him in the gut so hard that he dented his armor and knocked the wind out of him, "Now that I have your attention. Leave. Now!"
They grabbed Cardin and left, Wyatt walked back to the table and saw every one looking at him with a sense of awe. Except for Yang and Pyrrah who had a hungry look in their eyes and Wyatt's instincts were saying for him to feed that hunger no matter what, they stayed like that until Quenton said, "Dude, just how fucking strong are you!"
Ruby snapped out of here stupor and pointed a finger at Quenton and said, "SWAER JAR!" everyone stared at her and then started to laugh.
Wyatt had a free period at the end of the day and ended up going to the roof, he was up their thinking about what happened at lunch when Pyrrah and Yang looked at him with that look in their eyes. He eventually feel a sleep and after a while he heard the door below him open and close, he looked down and saw Pyrrah, Orange and Jaune walk to the edge of the roof below him, Jaune then said, "Guys I know I am going through a hard time but I am not that depressed. I mean I could always be a farmer or something."
"N-no," Orange pulled him back from the edge, "that's not why we brought you up here."
"We brought you up here, because we would like to help train you." said Pyrrah.
"You guys think I need help?" Jaune said.
"Well we know that you are not the strongest fighter," said Orange, "But me and Pyrrah think that we can help you get stronger. Besides you made here to Beacon that says a lot about you."
"Your wrong."
Orange looked at Pyrrah who said, "what do you mean by that?"
"I mean that I lied my way into Beacon."
"W-what why?"
"Because I wanted to be a hero like my Father, Grandfather and his father before him. I wanted to be a warrior."
"Then let us help you make that a reality." said Orange as she grabbed his shoulder which he shook off.
"You don't understand I need to do this my self because I am tired of being the loveable idiot, who is no good in a fight. I just...please leave me alone."
"If that's what you want Jaune."
Wyatt watch them go and he saw the hurt look in Orange's eye, He always thought that she had a thing for Jaune and that look just confirmed it. He was about to make himself known when Cardin showed up and basically blackmailed Jaune into doing his assignments for him. After he left Wyatt dropped down and said, "You know your a dumbass right?"
"Wyatt!" Jaune squeaked out, "How much of that did you hear?"
"All of it. But I am here to tell you are a dumbass not because you lied your way into Beacon, but you turned down help from two Mistral tournament champions."
"What do you mean?"
Wyatt sighed, "I mean that you really could get a hell of a lot better with the both of them helping you than you on your own. But if you want to do this on your own I understand." he turned to leave but stopped at the door and said, "Just so you know I won't tell anyone your secret either."
Wyatt was walking back to his dorm when Team RWBYs door opened and Yang walked out with his Gauntlets and said, "Hey Yang I see you found my gauntlets."
She looked over at him and smiled, "Yeah big guy, I was just about to go and give them back to you."
"Well thanks yang these things mean a lot to me."
"I bet, I mean I would want to have some thing made by my mom close to me as well." she saw Wyatt's confused look and added, "I saw the inscription."
"Ah, well I get to studying, but I will be at the gym tomorrow if you want to join me."
"I would like that big guy, well goodnight." she walked back into her dorm.
Wyatt walked back to his dorm and got to studying but he would occasionally glance at Orange when he would hear a quiet sniffle, he could only hope that Jaune didn't Fuck up to badly and accidentally break her heart before she had a chance to tell him how she really felt.
Two weeks later they were in the Forever Fall forest to collect red sap, Wyatt was pulling guard for Orange while she got the sap when he heard someone yelling about an Ursa getting Cardin. Wyatt looked at Orange who was worried that Jaune was in possible danger, He nodded for her to go with Pyrrah, Ruby and Weiss to go see if they could do anything. Wyatt for his part flew in the air to see if there were any more Grimm in the immediate area, During his flight he saw Jaune decapitating a Ursa major he also saw Pyrrah, Ruby, Weiss and Orange at the edge of the clearing watching. Figuring that they would have jumped in if Jaune was in serious trouble he flew back to the ground just as Goodwitch showed up and told the all that they were returning to Beacon now.
When they got back Wyatt saw Orange and Pyrrah heading to the roof to go and talk to Jaune, he smirked at this and hopped that Orange told Jaune how she felt soon. He decided to make his way to the library to see if he could find anything on Dragon Fanaus.
(Two weeks later)
Quenton was relaxing in his teams dorm sharpening his knives, while Wyatt was disassembling and Cleaning his HMG, Orange was working on her aura control and Rosy was making some new Thermite rounds that Wyatt showed her how to make. Quenton got up and went to the door when all of a sudden he heard a Argument coming from Team RWBYs room he walked into the hallway to see Blake rush by with tears in her eyes, he turned to his team and said, "I am going after her."
He ran after Blake and followed her out to the statue at the front of the school were she had stopped and removed her bow. He walked up behind her and gently put a hand on her shoulder, she suddenly turned and hugged him and silently cried. Quenton hugged her back, as Blake was crying she felt something wrap around her waist. She looked down and saw it was Quenton's alligator tail, He was always really good at hiding it just then they heard, "I knew you would look better without the bow and its nice to see that your not alone."
Quenton looked a t the new comer and saw he had a white shirt that was completely unbuttoned, he also had on blue shorts and black and yellow sneakers but he also had a blonde monkey tail. Blake told him that he was on ship that came in today, with that Quenton suggested that they go and find a place in the city to stay. They ended up with at one of the safe houses that Quenton set up incase of something like this would happen. Quenton gave Blake the main bedroom while he and the now Sun took the couches. The next morning Quenton and Sun were sitting at the dinning room table waiting for Blake to wake up, Sun decided to break the silence, "So how do you and Blake know each other?"
Quenton looked at him with a raised eyebrow, Sun then continued with, "Look I am just trying to make small talk."
"I know Quenton because we were both in the White Fang together." they looked over and saw Blake awake and standing looking at both of them.
"Wait you were both in the White Fang?"
"Yeah, we were but not anymore. I managed to cover our tracks for that." said Quenton.
"Well how did you guys join?"
"Well for Blake you can say she was born into it, as for me I was force recruited. My parents were part of the White Fang before they became what they are now, but after they changed my parents tried to leave. That's when it turned ugly, my parents were murdered while I was away. When I got back some White Fang agents were waiting to tell me that my parents were murdered by humans. They took me in and trained me even allowed me to forge my weapons Pain and Mercy, but I never bought the story. So I bided my time to find what I needed, after five years I found out who had actually killed my parents. A bull Fanaus named Adam Taurus and I will find him and kill him." He then looked at Blake who had a surprised expression on her face when she heard that Adam was responsible for killing his parents, "I know that he was your partner Blake and that now he is looking for you, but know this Blake I will do everything in my power to protect you."
Blake looked away with a blush on her face, she then heard, "Well do you think that the White Fang is behind these Dust heists I have been hearing about?"
"That I don't know they never needed that much dust before ever."
Blake then said, "I really don't believe that they are behind this at all."
"Maybe but we will never know unless we catch them in the act."
"Well I think I might know where they might be hitting next." Sun said making Quenton and Blake look at him.
"Really, where?"
"I over heard some of the guys on the boat I stowawayed on yesterday talking about a huge Dust shipment coming in, on Monday."
Quenton looked to Blake and smirked, "Well looks like we have planning to do."
(Monday night Vale Docks)
Quenton and Blake were sitting on top of one of the warehouses watching the Schnee Dust shipment just sitting on the docks when Sun came up, "So what I miss?"
"Not much." said Quenton.
"They unloaded all the crates and now they're just sitting there." said Blake just as a bullhead flew over them and landed in front of the Dust crates.
As soon as it touched down it opened showing WF grunts walking out. Quenton quickly jumped down to get a closer look, he quietly crept around some roaming patrols that were walking in between the containers. When he heard an explosion he quickly pulled out Pain & Mercy and changed them into there trench knife forms and started knocking out the patrols he ran into, when he got out from between the containers he saw Roman Torchwick fire at a Dust container hanging above Blake and Sun. He quickly ran and tackled Blake out of the way, after making sure she was fine he saw Torchwick pointing his Cane gun at Sun. He quickly Changed to his Revolver form and started firing, Roman quickly sought cover. Then Ruby and some red haired freckled girl showed up and joined in, but mostly the red head quickly taking care of the reinforcements that Roman had called in. During the chaos Roman managed to slip away, later they were sitting with the police. Quenton learned that the red heads name was Penny and that she was a friend of Ruby, even though she was slightly weird she seemed like a good person. That's when Weiss, Yang and his team showed up, He stood up and walked over to his team not even trying to hide the fact that he is a Fanaus now. His team looked at his new appendage and then back at him, Wyatt was the first to break the silence saying, "So your a Fanaus and you were in the White Fang?"
"Yeah was." Quenton replied waiting for something.
"Well, how about you come talk to us when you have something life changing for the rest of us rather than hearing about it second hand."
Quenton looked at them as they nodded their heads in agreement and he heard, "we've been looking for you and Blake for Twelve hours today, and all day yesterday."
Quenton just started laughing happy that his team accepted him for who he was as well as not having to curl his tail around his waist because that would cause cramps like you would not believe. But he knew one thing that he was most definitely going to have to get in touch with his contact in Vale's criminal underworld. This was certainly going to be interesting to say the least, he looked over at Blake and saw her staring at him after a while she looked away and blushed. Quenton just smiled, knowing that they will be talking about this one later
