An entire crowd was filling up the ground floor hall of Beacon Academy.
Ozpin was trying desperately to calm the crowd around him as Goodwitch and Port where helping him to keep everyone at a distance from the scene in front of them.
Carlisle walked into the building, noticing the concerned group of students forming a circle in the middle, all crying out in hysteria and outright terror and fear. Port noticed his young colleague and moved forward.
"Professor what is going?" Carlisle asked concerned.
"It is terrible my boy, another student has been found in a vegetative state" the big mustached professor replied.
Weiss came through the doors, having been instructed to wait a while before entering as to not arouse suspicion of their earlier actions.
"Who is it?" Carlisle asked.
The professor didn't answer, instead taking Carlisle within the circle to where Ozpin and Goodwitch where standing over the catatonic and unmoving body of Pyrrha Nikos.
Vadim you screw-up you should've hidden her better, Carlisle thought angrily.
"A janitor found her stuffed in the janitor's closet, completely unmoving and unresponsive. It appears to be the same as what happened with Cardin Winchester earlier" Port said concerned.
Ozpin turned up and looked at Carlisle "I am sorry to have awoken you at this hour professor Carlisle, but this situation requires the entire staff." The young professor nodded in response "I understand principal Ozpin how can I be off service to you?" he asked.
Carlisle took in his surroundings, around him where three of his colleagues, Weiss was in the back and what felt like the entire student body was surrounding them, gasping at the sight as Goodwitch and Ozpin where bend over on Pyrrha Nikos' unmoving body.
"She seems stable," Goodwitch said, "but she doesn't respond to anything. How could this have happened?"
Carlisle avoided her gaze and instead bend over next to Ozpin, examining the catatonic young woman before him.
"I'm afraid I'm none the wiser then you principal" Carlisle replied.
Ozpin nodded in response "we should get her to the infirmary this instant."
As Carlisle nodded as he got up to try and look through the crowd, seeing if he could find a way throughout it. His sight was disturbed as he felt himself being thrown to the ground in an instant, followed by a swift hit to his face.
"YOU DID THIS TO HER! I KNOW IT WAS YOU!"
He heard the shouting as another hit made contact with the side of his face, causing blood to erupt from his nose. He groaned in pain as he tried to look up. In the blur he saw the figure of Jaune Arc gearing up for another hit.
The hit never came as his teammates Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie pulled their leader off him.
"Jaune stop it!" Ren said as he and his teammate pulled him back.
The pain in his face was overwhelming and he couldn't see clearly. He could only hear the gasps and shouts around him. An arm was looped around his and he looked to see a black and white blur with yellow eyes supporting him and trying to get him upright again.
As his vision cleared he saw Blake Belladonna holding him upright, a concerned expression on her face.
"Mr. Arc, my office this instant," Ozpin yelled, angrily pointing at a still restrained Jaune Arc "as for the rest of you students return to your dorms, the faculty will handle this and make sure everything is alright."
Upon hearing that small outburst most of the student body dissolved, only a few lingering to look at the situation unfolding.
"Ugh…" Carlisle groaned as blood streamed down his nostrils and on his mouth and chin, causing him to spit it out. He looked around as his vision slowly came back, Goodwitch was still looking over an unmoving Pyrrha and Ozpin was looking tired and angry at all the events of tonight. On his left he saw Blake Belladonna producing a handkerchief to wipe away the blood around his lips.
"It will be alright" she whispered to him concerned.
Professor Port moved towards them "miss Belladonna I will take him to the infirmary, you should proceed to your dorm." She nodded as she relinquished Carlisle to Port who carried him away as the young professor kept looking at her, his eye bruised and fresh blood still around his mouth.
Blake wanted to go after him, wanted to make sure he was alright. But as she looked around she saw her team, including Weiss weirdly staring at her.
30 minutes later (Ozpin's office):
"Attacking a member of the faculty, what in goodness name where you thinking Mr. Arc?" Ozpin asked almost angrily to a silent and frustrated Jaune Arc sitting across from him.
The young warrior remained silent, trying to collect his thoughts and choose his words carefully.
"Do you have any idea in how much trouble you are in. You could face expulsion for this kind of behavior. I would do it on the spot if the situation wasn't already so dire" Ozpin commented.
"It was him! He did this to Pyrrha! And to Cardin! I know it was him" Jaune suddenly burst out. Causing a surprised Ozpin and Goodwitch who was at his side, to look up in surprise.
"So you think that professor Carlisle has something to do with the current state of Mr. Winchester and Miss Nikos?" the principal asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. Since he arrived this happened, it can't be a coincidence" Jaune told them, trying to plead his case.
"That is quite an accusation Mr. Arc, do you have any evidence to your claim?"
Jaune remained silent, shaking his head.
Ozpin sighed as he adjusted his glasses "look I understand your anger and feelings about the current state of your teammate, it is truly something terrible. But attacking someone and accusing them of something you have no proof for is unacceptable" he said sternly.
Jaune nodded in frustration.
"It is late so return to your dorm, we will discuss your punishment at a later point," Ozpin said as Jaune stood up to leave "and I don't want to hear anything about this again Mr. Arc, if I do you're on the first ride out of here. Good night."
Jaune left the office in a huff, angry and disappointment visible on his face.
The moment he was out of the room Goodwitch turned to her colleague and friend "Ozpin don't you see he has a point. Ever since that man showed up this has happened twice, as much as he was wrong for hitting him you have to admit, this is too much for it to be mere coincidence."
Ozpin nodded in silence.
"Perhaps Glynda, but without proof we have nothing to go off of" he said.
Goodwitch groaned in frustration "so what do we do Ozpin?, we need to get find out how to solve this."
Ozpin turned his chair towards his colleague "I might have something that can help. A good acquaintance is coming over. He has remarkable insight in people, maybe he can tell us more."
Glynda looked at him and sighed "I think I know who you mean" she said.
At the dorms..
Team RWBY was barely through the door of their room before Weiss launched into a tirade towards Blake.
"What where you doing with professor Carlisle!" she said angrily.
"I was trying to help" Blake defended.
"Oh and looking at him for a long time as he was taken off, yeah sure I know you've been gawking at him since day one" Weiss said as she took a step closer towards her teammate in anger.
"Pot meet kettle. You have been trying to get his attention since the moment he set foot in the academy! And where were you even tonight!" Blake asked accusingly.
"Guys stop this please" Ruby tried to interject and stop her fighting teammates.
"Where I was is none of your concern Blake" Weiss shouted as she turned her back to her teammate. Blake was brimming with anger. This wasn't the first time she and Weiss have had a disagreement but this time it felt even closer considering their mutual love interest was involved.
"I saw you," Yang suddenly said out of nowhere, causing the others to look at her "I saw you leave Weiss and you went into the direction of the professor's house. Also I saw you come in right after him after Pyrrha was found."
Weiss' face was a mix of embarrassment and anger.
"So you were with him!" Blake accused angrily. Weiss turned to her in anger, her normally pale complexion now bright red "so what if I was! You jealous Blake that he actually wants me and not a girl like you who feels the need to hide herself."
Blake wasn't one too settle an argument with a fight, but oh boy if she didn't wish to hit the ice princess in her shining teeth now.
"HE KNOWS!" Blake unintentionally shouted, surprising all her teammates as she gave them all a look, especially a dumbfounded Weiss.
"He knows what I am! He has known for a while and he accepts me. He accepted me from the get go, something you didn't even do and you're supposed to be my friend. And why would he want you, a spoiled rich ice queen!"
Weiss' reaction was too immediately launch herself as the Faunus girl, knocking them both up against the wall. The two sisters managed to pull the both of them apart before they could cause further damage to each other or the room.
"YOU BITCH!" Weiss hissed in anger trying to free herself from Yang's tight grip.
Blake swung free from Ruby and walked her way towards the door as she gave one last glance at her team, with Weiss still red with fury "and another thing Weiss I have had his number before you got it, he gave it to me when I went out with him" she said, as a final jab towards her romantic rival before she opened the door and left the room, leaving a dumbfounded and surprised team, with an angry seething Weiss behind.
The Infirmary:
"Alright that should heal up soon, you can leave but take it easy for a few days" the head nurse said to an injured Carlisle who was holding an ice pack up against his face.
"Thank you very much for your help" Carlisle said politely as he proceeded to leave through the doors of the infirmary. The moment he stepped outside he was met by the small figure of Vadim.
"Sir are you okay?" he asked.
Carlisle grumbled in response, the pain still evident in his face. The two walked through the hallways in silence with Vadim smartly keeping his mouth.
As they reached the door leading outside, the young professor spoke up "Vadim, you remember that boy that was following us?" he asked his manservant who nodded in response.
"Take care of him" he spoke in a silent tone with an unmistakable hint of anger.
