They were on the planet Dantooine, a pleasant planet of plains and rivers, with large amounts of farmland. It was also home to a Jedi Enclave that they were currently standing inside. He and his Master had come there to study the history of the enclave, as well as further his Padawan training.

He was still young, no more than 10 years old, and was dazzled by the sights. His Master, an old Twi'lek male, was speaking to the Masters currently present in the Enclave (that he heard had been rebuilt twice in the last few centuries). He was looking around, paying little heed to their conversation, more interested in the many things to look at.

Then all hell broke loose as explosions shook the Enclave, throwing him to the floor. After that everything turned to a blur, as soldiers stormed in, gunning down those caught off guard. The Masters quickly leapt into action as his master helped him up.

"You need to hide, run, hide, and stay hidden until it is safe. Okay?"

He nodded, and started running, when a man in black robes blocked his path.

His Master immediately rushed to his side, blocking the red lightsaber that was about to end his life.

He stumbled away as a fierce duel broke out between the Sith and his Master. Lightsabers flashing faster than he could register, he was mesmerised by the violent display and could not bring himself to run away. This proved fatal as a hand grabbed hold of him from behind, causing him to gasp loudly.

Hearing the sound, his Master was temporarily distracted as he worried for his Padawan. This resulted in him being pierced through. He collapsed as the red blade made of energy was pulled out, unmoving.

He screamed as the man who killed his Master turned towards him. It was a scream of fear, anger, despair and many other emotions. In response power welled forth, blasting the woman holding on to him apart and sending the Sith flying.

His consciousness left him as he saw the Sith get back up, intrigue all over his face. Then the world turned black.

Wayle awoke with a start. He had dreamt of the past, of the events that led to him becoming a Sith Acolyte at the Sith Academy on Korriban. It bothered him that he could no longer remember the exact details of his old Masters face, nor his face, no matter how hard he tried.

He looked up to see Amber eyes looking at him, Blake standing by his bed, worry all over her features.

"Are you okay? You were throwing about in your sleep and mumbling about a Master." The worry in her voice could almost be touched, that was how thick it was.

"Just a bad dream, nothing to worry about." He tried to reassure her with a smile. It only partially worked, her features did soften up a little, but the worry was still plain in her eyes.

"Of your past?"

He sighed. "Yes, of a time now long past." A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"Was he someone you cared for?"

"Huh?"

"This Master, you mumbled something about it in your sleep."

He looked down. "Yes, I think I cared about him. He was a great man who taught me things I managed to keep even after darkness stained my being." Wayle laid his head to rest on his arms that he had crossed over his knees.

He felt arms tenderly wrap around him as he heard Blake's voice near his head. "I'm sorry."

Suddenly they were tackled by a small form as crying could be heard. "That's just terrible!" Ruby's voice rang out in the room.

"Ruby! When… When did…" Blake seemed to have ceased function for the moment as she cried out in confusion.

"We were all woken up by Wayle's dream." Weiss rose up from her bed with a slightly bemused look on her face.

"Still, that sounds a bit distressing. What happened to you?" Yang's voice could be heard from her bed as well.

"I… I do not not want to talk about it if at all possible. It… is a painful memory." Wayle was unable to hide the sadness in his heart. "Also, Ruby, could you please let go? You are crushing us here."

"Whua?" Ruby looked recomposed herself and looked up to find that she had pressed Wayle and Blake together and was currently squeezing them together quite hard.

"Ah! Sorry!" She quickly let go.

Wayle let out a sigh of relief before he realised that Blake still had not moved since Ruby tackled them.

"Blake?" He tentatively tried calling to her.

Nothing.

"Blake?" He tried poking her shoulder.

Still nothing.

"Blake…?" He tried poking her ear.

She snapped her head back in surprise, ear twitching furiously.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." He jokingly greeted her with a smile. Her face flushed crimson as a deep blush formed.

The other members of team RWBY laughed heartily at the scene.

As she headed down the corridor on her way to a meeting with the General, Amara once again found herself wondering what Wayle would do in her situation. This thought had come aggravatingly frequently to her lately and as much as she was loathe to admit it, it had helped her quite a bit.

Her musings led her to reminisce about the boy and their past history. He had suddenly been thrown into the Academy a few months into her own time there and had at first done little to nothing. At first she had wondered why he wouldn't jump at this opportunity to gain power, to become someone greater than he was. Then she found out he had been a Jedi Padawan before coming to the Academy.

She had immediately confronted the boy, disgusted at his presence. And after having failed to get any response out of him she challenged him for the first time. At first he did no more than defend, keeping himself alive as best he could.

It was first after many taunts, much goading and quite a bit of abuse that something finally changed. She still almost regretted her decision to this day. It was like a floodgate had burst open, releasing a torrent of emotions. And power like little she had seen in one her age before.

Before she knew it the boy's furious onslaught had driven her into a corner, and it was only the timely intervention of the instructors that saved her life. They had been punished for their transgression, unsanctioned fights between Acolytes was strictly forbidden.

After that incident it was like a fire had been ignited in the boy's heart. He had quickly progressed on through the education and trials, and despite his handicap had been chosen by a master at the same time she did.

She still longed to face off against that power again, to match herself against something so immense. It was like a mad infatuation. And sometimes it had been just that. She had repeatedly challenged him, attacked him with the intention to kill. But despite her best efforts she had never drawn out that power.

She cleared her thoughts, having reached the door to the office that the General was currently in. She took a deep breath and opened the door. Inside she was met with the sight of General Ironwood, the man who had called her there, and Latune Subbota, the person in charge of her.

Despite her young age, the girl had proven capable in combat, although she lacked any real leadership experience. She was skilled in the use of the walker known as the Atlesian Paladin, and though her skills on foot were lacking, once she was in her Paladin she became a powerful and dangerous opponent.

She also seemed especially sensitive and possessed remarkable reflexes, enough to make Amara suspicious. Wayle could probably tell better than her, if he actually tried that is.

"Good, you are here." The general's voice brought her back to reality. She immediately snapped to attention. "I called you here to inform you of my decision to send you to Beacon as part of the exchange students going there for the Vytal festival."

"Why?" Latune questioned the decision. "Neither of us are part of an academy or a Huntress. Amara could probably fit the bill, but I do not possess the abilities to blend in at Beacon." She raised a valid point, she lacked the combat prowess on foot to qualify for being a Huntress.

"That will not be a problem. You don't need to participate in the tournament. Unless you wish to that is." He gave a small wink. "All you need to do is be present and vigilant. Report problems if you see any, otherwise you may act as you see fit. Think of it as a bit of vacation."

Amara felt like the General was leaving something out, hiding something from them. On the other hand, this gave her an opportunity to be around Wayle. It certainly worked out for her at least.

"Understood General." The two girls spoke out in unison. One smiling mischievously, the other frowning slightly.

They were seated in the dining hall. Yang, Blake and Weiss were seated at one table, with Wayle seated opposite them. At another table behind Wayle sat team JNPR. Nora was throwing food at Yang, who was catching it with her mouth, giving occasional nods and thumbs ups.

For some inexplicable reason Wayle had a bad feeling, the kind he got when something was about to happen. No matter how normal and peaceful the scene around him was, he could still not shake it.

His train of thoughts was broken when Ruby dropped a gigantic binder on the table with the words: Vytal Festival Activities: Property of Weiss Schnee crossed over with red marker and the words: BEST DAY EVER ACTIVITIES! written with the same pen underneath.

"Sisters, friends, Weiss." Ruby started addressing them, although her decision to single out Weiss left him slightly perplexed.

"HEY!" Said persons indignant reply could be heard.

"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream." Four score and seven minutes? What was that supposed to mean?

"This ought to be good." Wayle wasn't sure if Yang was being sarcastic or honest.

Another foodstuff flew past into her mouth.

"A dream that one day the four of us would come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone's ever had… ever!" Ruby sounded somewhat exited for some reason.

"Did you steal my binder?" Asked a question the answer to which should have been obvious, all while looking quite annoyed.

"I am not a crook." Ruby said while making quotation marks in the air.

"One, what is that supposed to mean and two, I am quite certain the answer to Weiss' question is yes." Wayle decided to give his opinion on the matter.

"NON TEAM MEMBERS GET NO SAY!" Ruby practically screamed those words, although Wayle sensed no hostility in her words.

"Regardless, what are you talking about?" Blake decided to ask for clarification while looking a smidge unhappy.

"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang." Ruby's clarification simply said, I want play around, or something along those lines, Wayle honestly wasn't quite sure.

"I always kick off my semesters with a YANG! Eh. Guys. Am I right?" Yang made a pun so bad Wayle actually facepalmed.

A bunch of booing could be heard and an apple came flying from team JNPR, hitting Yang in the head, much to her chagrin.

"But guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great. But… classes start back up tomorrow, which is why I have taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for the day." Ruby seemed both a little bit sad and not a small measure of proud at her work.

"I don't know whatever to be proud or scared at what you have in store." Weiss seemed just a teeny tiny bit conflicted about the whole deal.

Yang threw an apple back at team JNPR. Wayle was finally getting an idea of what his bad feeling might have meant, and he started looking for places to get out of the way.

"I don't know… I think I might sit this one out." Blake didn't seem too excited about Ruby's proposal.

"Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team." Weiss seemed like she had a proposal of her own.

In the background Nora could be heard shouting: "I got it!" The bad premonition Wayle had got worse at that sound.

"I for one think that…" As Weiss stood up to give her proposal, a pie came flying, landing right drab in the middle of her face.

Wayle looked toward team JNPR, where Nora was pointing out Ren who was facepalming, while Pyrrha held her hand before her mouth with a shocked expression and Jaune held one hand over his ear with an equally shocked expression.

Wayle quickly ran towards the nearest piece of cover far away from the two teams, while a silence covered the hall.
