XenoBlaze:My god...
Sun:Hm? What's up Blaze?
XenoBlaze:The views. Their... Their...
Sun:Their what?
XenoBlaze:OVER NINE THOUSAND!
Hakuno:...You know that joke is over used.
XenoBlaze:Sorry, couldn't resist.
Sun:Still. Wow.
XenoBlaze:Hey, it proves I'm doing something right.
Now its time. This will be the day we've waited for.
Hakuno:Please stop.
XenoBlaze:Fine. Fine. Sun?
Sun:You got it!

Altera:I'm actually looking forward to it.
Ruby:What happened here?
Detective 1:Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle.
You thinking the White Fang?
Sun:Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha!
Penny:My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!
Weiss:You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!
Blake:Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!
Ruby:Hakuno, can you guys help us look for her?
Blake:So, you want to know more about me...
Tamamo:I think we both do.
Beginnings Arc Extella 10-Black and White
-Vale/Café-
Things were looking uncertain for Blake Belladonna. Her time at Beacon was going great. She made friends. And had a team to support her. However, her past has always been a mystery to everyone except her. And now its caught up with her. Thanks to an argument with a certain white haired teammate, her identity as a faunus was revealed. Out of fear of being rejected by her friends, she ran.
It's been days since she left. Fortunately or unfortunately, she's had company. A monkey faunus by the name of Sun Wukong, that she met a few days ago. Sun has tried repeatedly to get Blake to talk, but was always met with silence. That changes today, as she decided to finally come clean. But she wasn't expecting a pink haired fox faunus' company.
Blake:Tamamo?
What are you doing here?
Tamamo walks to Blake and Sun's table and sits down.
Tamamo:Goshujin-sama was worried about you as was I.
Honestly, I wasn't going to bother you. But, given the circumstances.
Blake:Wait. How long have you been-
Tamamo:How long have I been spying on you and your boyfriend here?
Tamamo takes a sip of her tea.
Tamamo:Since the two of you left Beacon.
Blake and Sun's face turn red. Sun scratches his cheek while Blake jumps out of her chair.
Blake:He's not my boyfriend!
Tamamo:Oh? My mistake.
Tamamo takes another sip of her tea.
Sun:...Uh. Sorry but, who are you?
Blake calms down and sits back in her chair.
Blake:*Sigh* Sun, Tamamo no Mae. Tamamo, Sun Wukong.
Tamamo:Pleasure to meet you Wukong-san.
Sun:Yeah sure. Same here.
Wow you really have two traits. That's rare.
Tamamo:I get that a lot.
Tamamo narrows her eyes at Blake.
Tamamo:Now, you were saying Blake-san?
Sun:Yeah! Nearly two days and you gave me nothing but small talk and weird looks!
Blake gives Sun a firm look.
Sun:Yeah, like that.
Tamamo rolls her eyes just as Blake rolls her's before closing them and looking at Sun and Tamamo sadly.
Blake:Are you two familiar with the White Fang?
Sun:Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!
Blake:I was...once a member of the White Fang.
Sun promptly goes cross-eyed and chokes on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information. Tamamo narrows her eyes.
Sun:Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!
Blake:That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it...
Tamamo:Am I to assume this is before the White Fang became what it is today?
Blake(Sadly):...Yeah.
Blake takes a sip of her tea before recounting her past.
Blake:Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the faunus.
Of course, despite being promised equality, the faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there.
I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist.
Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking.
Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear.
Blake puts down her teacup in front of a stunned Sun. Tamamo remains silent.
Blake:So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow.
Blake wiggles her cat ears beneath the fashionable disguise to demonstrate.
Sun:So...have you told your friends any of this? Besides Tamamo?
Blake merely looks down in shame and says nothing.
Tamamo:It's not easy telling the people you've come to care for about your checkered past.
Blake and Sun look towards Tamamo as she closes her eyes.
Tamamo:It makes them question if the person you've tried to be in front of them...was just a lie.
When your loved ones see the real you...they tend to deny all the good you've done.
Tamamo grips her teacup tightly as she opens her eyes with a glare.
Tamamo(Darkly):And then they turn on you.
Blake and Sun take a moment to process Tamamo's words.
Blake:You...sound like your speaking from experience.
Tamamo calms down but still frowns.
Tamamo:Perhaps.
I may not have been a member of the White Fang. But I have done things in my past that I'd like to forget.
Tamamo gives a small smile as she look into her tea. The reflection of her face turns into a reflection of Hakuno, Nero and Altera smiling at her.
Tamamo:Luckily, I have people who care about me regardless of what I've done.
Tamamo looks at Blake.
Tamamo:Do you?
Blake looks down with a frown.
-Vale/Streets-
While Blake was getting everything off her chest, the remainder of teams RWBY and HANT continue their search for their missing friend.
Ruby:Blaaaake?!
Yang:Blaaaake?!
Altera:Blaaake?! Tamamoooo?!
Nero:Are you thereeee?!
Ruby:Blaaaaaaaake! Where aaaare yoooouuuu!?
Yang:Blake!
Ruby turns to Weiss.
Ruby:Weiiiiss, you're not helping!
Weiss:Oh! You know what might be able to help? The police!
Ruby crosses her arms in irritation.
Ruby:Ugh, Weiss...
Weiss:It was just an idea!
Hakuno scoffs. Weiss then stops walking and turns angrily at Hakuno.
Weiss:Okay enough!
The rest of the girls stop walking and look at Weiss and Hakuno. Hakuno looks at Weiss with a stoic expression.
Hakuno:Something wrong?
Weiss:Why are you so angry with me?
Ruby looks like she's about to intervene but Nero stops her. Nero then shakes her head as she and Ruby turn their attention back to Hakuno and Weiss. Hakuno folds her arms before she speaks.
Hakuno:I believe I said I was disappointed in you. Not angry.
Weiss:And why is that?
Hakuno:Because after our conversation the first day of school, I thought you would've learned to treat your teammates with respect.
I wasn't just talking about Ruby. I meant the rest of your team as well.
Weiss:That's not the point! You heard her! We all heard her!
What's important is that she LIED to us!
Hakuno slaps Weiss. Weiss yelps as she falls on her butt. Ruby and Yang are shocked to see their friend slap their teammate. Ruby try's to move to Weiss, but Nero holds her back. Both Nero and Altera watch their Master handle this situation.
Ruby:Weiss!
Weiss looks at Hakuno with shock and disbelief. Hakuno remains impassive but steadily grows angry.
Hakuno:Have you ever taken a second to think WHY she lied? It's not hard to figure out Weiss.
Your a Schnee. One of the main ones known for treating faunus like dirt. Can you even imagine how she felt having someone like you on her team? She was scared. Scared of being judged by people like you. Whose narrow minded views have driven a wedge between humans and faunus.
Boo hoo. Spoiled little rich girl abused by daddy because a bunch of faunus ruined his day. The White fang DOESN'T speak for every faunus in the world Weiss!
The rest of the group continues to watch the two girls.
Hakuno:You wanted to learn more about our past? Let me tell you a little bit about Tamamo.
Where she grew up, many people worshipped her like a goddess. Fox faunus like her were thought to bring good fortune to their village. And it annoyed the hell out of her. But over time, she grew to understand and tired her best to live up to how they treated her. You wanna know how all that changed? Because of something she had no control over. Someone important in her village got sick and died. And she was blamed for it.
The members of team RW(B)Y became shocked at Hakuno's revelation.
Hakuno:The whole villagers turned on her just like that. Instead of good fortune, they thought she brought misfortune. They chased her out of the village and sent hounds after her. She felt so betrayed by the people who she tired to help. They no longer saw her as a person, but a monster. An animal. So she figured, if she was an animal, then she'd play the part. She fought back. And almost died.
At this point, Ruby is tearing up at Hakuno's tale. Yang and Weiss just stare at her in disbelief. Nero and Altera however, know that while their Master is telling Tamamo's story, she is leaving key facts out. Hakuno clenches her fist as she continues.
Hakuno:She would've died if...Nero and I weren't passing by. We found her and treated her. When she woke up, she thought we were going to finish what the villagers started. It took a while, but we managed to gain her trust. And taught her that not everyone in the world was evil. We've been together ever since.
Hakuno takes a deep breath to calm down.
Hakuno:Do you see now Weiss? One misunderstanding can change a person. You need facts first before you start judging others. Nero, Altera and I see the person Tamamo wants to be. Not what others see her as. And Blake is the same. She wants people to see her as a person and not what everyone else thinks of her. And yet you pushed her away. You think you've got it bad? Then you need to grow up and realize that there are other people worse off than you.
Hakuno walks away and leaves the rest of the group besides Nero and Altera stunned. Hakuno passes by Penny and the girl tries to greet her. But after seeing the expression on Hakuno's face, she lets her go.
Yang:Wow. I don't think I've ever seen her angry before.
Ruby:Is it true?
Did those people really do that to Tamamo?
Nero:...Its true. But there's one thing Soshayo left out.
Yang:What is it?
Altera:That the village Tamamo grew up in...was an all human village.
Weiss' eyes widen as she looks at Altera and back to where Hakuno was.
Once Hakuno gets far enough away from the group, she hits a wall.
Hakuno:I let my emotions get the better of me again. I'll have to apologize to Tamamo when I see her.
?:(Goshujin-sama?)
Hakuno's snaps at attention at the sound of the voice.
Hakuno:(Tamamo? Have you found Blake?)
Tamamo:(I have. I'm with her now. As well as her new friend.)
Hakuno:(New friend?)
Hakuno shakes her head.
Hakuno:(Never mind. Where are you?)
Tamamo:(We're twenty minutes away from you.)
Hakuno gasp in surprise. Realization soon dawns on her.
Hakuno:(You heard everything I said.)
Tamamo:(Hai. And I'm not upset with you. It needed to be done.)
Hakuno smiles.
Hakuno:(Thank you.)
(Tell me what you've learned.)
After Hakuno and Weiss' "disagreement", the girls decided to split up. Well, so much so that everyone ditched Ruby. Luckily Penny was there to keep her company. Unfortunately, the girl didn't seem to know what a mute button is.
Penny:So, Blake is your friend?
Ruby:*Sigh* Yes, Penny.
Penny:But you're mad at her?
Ruby:Yes. Well, I'm not. Weiss is.
Ruby frowns.
Ruby:Though...after what Hakuno said, I'm not too sure.
Penny:Is she friends with Blake?
Ruby:Well, that's kind of up in the air right now...
Penny:But why?
Ruby:*Sigh* Well, you see, Blake might not be who we though she was...
Penny:*Gasps* "Is she a man?
Ruby:No! No, Penny. She's... *Sigh* I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off.
Penny:I don't have a lot of friends, but if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things.
Ruby(Sadly):Me too...
-Later that night at the Docks-
Amidst the chirping of crickets and darkness of night, Blake and Tamamo lay flat on their stomachs on the rooftop overlooking the shipment of Schnee Dust containers. Sun then drops down on Blake's right.
Sun:Did I miss anything?
Blake:Not really. They've offloaded the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there.
Sun:Cool.
Sun holds out one of the green apples in his arms.
Sun:I stole you girls some food!
Tamamo takes the apple with a smile.
Tamamo:Thank you Wukong-san.
Blake gives Tamamo and Sun a questioning gaze. Tamamo ignores Blake's gaze as she eats the apple.
Blake:Do you always break the law without giving a second thought?
Sun:Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?
Blake delivers an angry glare at Sun and Tamamo almost chokes on the apple.
Sun:Okay, too soon!
Tamamo gives Sun a deadpanned look that says "You think?"
The winds suddenly blow all around them, and they look up to see a Bullhead's searchlights flashing around for a landing spot, descending in the middle of the cargo containers and extending a ramp for a black hooded individual with a metallic fanged mask to come out of.
Blake:Oh no...
Sun:Is that them?
Blake stares at the bloody wolf on the back of the man's outfit.
Blake:Yes... It's them.
Tamamo stares at the group with a slight glare.
Tamamo:(So that is the White Fang.)
A White Fang soldier motions with his riffle as he speaks to the other members.
White Fang Soldier:All right, grab the tow cables!
Tamamo addresses Blake while keeping her attention on the White Fang.
Tamamo:You knew. But you didn't want to admit it.
Blake stares sadly at the scene
Blake:...Yeah. I think deep down I always knew. I just didn't want to be right.
Blake closes her eyes in despair, only to open them suddenly when she hears a new voice.
?:Hey! What's the holdup!?
The soldiers look up at Roman Torchwick gesturing widely and coming down the ramp.
Roman:We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?
Tamamo:That's Roman Torchwick!
Why is he here?
Blake:This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a Human. Especially not one like that.
Blake stands up and unsheathes the katana of Gambol Shroud before walking off the edge of the roof.
Sun:Hey, what are you doing?!
Tamamo:The first step to facing her past.
Blake falls to the ground in a crouch, then continues on to hide behind one of the containers, peeking around the corner to see Roman berate a White Fang member holding a coil of rope.
Roman:No, you idiot! This isn't a leash!
As Roman looks around, Blake suddenly appears behind him with her blade at his throat.
Roman:What the- Oh, for f-
Blake:Nobody move!
The White Fang soldiers ready their guns and equip their swords in response.
Roman:Whoa! Take it easy there, little lady.
As the White Fang closes in on her, Blake uses her free hand to go for her bow and remove it, causing the ribbon to fall away as her faunus ears are shown to the world.
Blake:Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?
The White Fang members lower their weapons a little at this development, unsure of what to do, when Roman laughs.
Roman:Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?
Blake:What are you talking about?
Roman:The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together!
Blake:Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation.
Suddenly, the air is filled with more turbines blowing the wind wildly around the holdup. Roman looks up and Blake follows his gaze.
Roman:I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation...
Two more Bullheads are hovering above the heist, and as Blake watches in horror, Roman smiles and manages to fire his cane at Blake's feet, resulting in a large explosion.
Across town, Penny and Ruby turn around upon hearing the noise, seeing the smoke rise from the docking bay just a few buildings away.
Ruby:Oh, no...
In another part of town, Hakuno looks up as she hears the explosion. She then sees the smoke as well.
Hakuno:Uh oh!
Hakuno takes off running to the docks.
Hakuno:(Nero! Altera! I've found Blake and Tamamo!)
Back at the docks, Blake -dazed but relatively unhurt- begins to stand. Only to quickly roll and run out of the way of Roman's flaming missiles. Each shot destroys some of the cargo behind Blake as she retreats behind more containers. Roman approaches slowly.
Roman:Here, kitty, kitty, kitty...
Roman's taunt is interrupted when a banana peel lands on his head, causing him to look up and growl at the assailant.
Sun leaps from the container above Roman and drops down on the criminal's face feet-first, rolling up and readying himself to fight.
Sun:Leave her alone!
The Bullheads open to let more White Fang members descend on the scene, standing by Roman as he gets up and surrounding Sun.
Roman:You're not the brightest banana in the bunch, are you, kid?
?:Luckily he has help!
Roman and the members of the White Fang look up at the sound of the voice. Tamamo summersaults into the fray and lands beside Sun. The White Fang are surprised to see another faunus stand against them. One with TWO traits. Roman gives a slight leer.
Roman:Well hello foxy.
Tamamo glares at Roman.
Tamamo:There's only two people who are allowed to call me that. And you're most certainly NOT one of them.
With that said, the White Fang charge at the monkey and fox duo, but they manages to dodge the slashes and get some of the soldiers with their fists and kicks until they rolls out of the way. Sun pulls out a collapsible red staff and Tamamo assumes a stance. Sun quickly uses his staff to beat down on each opponent that nears him Tamamo backs him up with a few well placed kicks and palm strikes. Each White Fang soldier falls with a single blow from Tamamo's blows and Sun's staff. Sun then twirls his staff, which creates a scorching shockwave to beat half the group. Tamamo then readys a talisman.
Tamamo:Curse:Chaos Heaven!
The rest of the soldiers are blown away by Tamamo's attack. A few land on the ground while some collide with the crates. Sun whistles.
Sun:Nice one!
Blake peers around the corner of the container to watch Sun jump around and beat more White Fang soldiers, causing one to fly over Roman's head. The crime boss growls in annoyance and aims his cane at Sun. He fires a shot that Sun defends with his staff. Roman then fires another shot but Tamamo blocks it with a wall of ice. The ice shatters just when Blake leaps into the action.
Blake:He's mine!
Blake goes in close and becomes a blur of afterimages as she slashes both blades at Roman, who backs away and deflects each would-be blow with his cane at unbelievable speeds. Blake continues to dash, hop over, and slide around Roman to try and find a weak spot, but her enemy, while barely deflecting the attacks, lands a few hits on Blake until one final beating with his cane causes her to go down.
Just as Roman deals with one opponent, Sun appears right behind her and disconnects his staff in two spinning circles of flame-firing shotgun nunchucks. Sun swings each gun at Roman while firing everything he as at him. But even with the rapid series of shots and flying bullets, Roman manages to defend himself. Until a millisecond-long pause allows Blake and Tamamo to tag team him. The girls get a hit off him and knock him back.
On his back, Roman notices a container hanging by a crane right above the three warriors. He gets up to fire his cane at its supports. Blake and Tamamo leap behind it, but Sun barely misses when he jumps forward. And ends up right below the nozzle of Roman's cane. Just as he's about to fire, he is forced to jump back to avoid a slash from a glowing black blade. The figure behind the blade is revealed to be Hakuno.
Blake:Hakuno?
Tamamo:Goshujin-sama!
Roman grits his teeth in annoyance.
Roman:These kids keep popping out of the woodwork.
Hakuno keeps her attention on Roman as she addresses her friends.
Hakuno:Are you guys alright?
Blake:We're fine.
What are you doing here?
Hakuno:I'll explain later.
Roman Torchwick. Your wanted for armed robbery and numerous crimes throughout Vale.
Roman:Well, didn't know I had a fan.
Roman points his cane at Hakuno.
Roman:Unfortunately, I don't have time for autographs.
Hakuno:Don't flatter yourself.
Everyone stay back! I'll handle this.
Blake:What?! That's crazy!
Roman:I'd have to agree with kitty brown eyes. Not very smart.
Hakuno smirks. She then closes her eyes.
Tamamo feels a slight shift in Hakuno. She then gasp in realization.
Tamamo:(Is she going to use THAT?)
{Play Fate/Extra Last Encore Opening Bright Burning Shout by Takanori Nishikawa}
Hakuno's hair slowly turns blonde. As her hair finishes changing colors, Hakuno eyes snap open to reveal that her once brown eyes have turn green. Everyone present is surprised by the sudden change. Roman quickly gains back his composure.
Roman:So what, your a blonde now?
Blake:What just happened?
Tamamo:It's her Semblance.
Blake is surprised as she looks to Tamamo before returning her attention to Hakuno.
Blake:Her Semblance?
Hakuno assumes a stance that is familiar to both Blake and Tamamo. As Blake looks on, she sees a faint silhouette of Nero mimicking Hakuno.
Blake:What is that?
Hakuno/Nero:Have at thee you fiendish rogue!
Hakuno charges and Roman is quickly found on the defensive. Each swing of Ser Veresta is quick and powerful. Much like how Blake fought against Roman, Hakuno started to become a blur as she slashes at Roman. He manages to deflect her strikes, but Hakuno continues to dash, hop over and slide around Roman to try and find a weak spot. Roman manages to block each blow, but he quickly finds himself getting tired. Hakuno backs off as she prepares for another strike. She moves her blade in a circular fashion.
Hakuno/Nero:Rosa Ichthys!
Hakuno releases a flaming shockwave that slams into Roman.
{Song ends}
Though Roman manages to block Hakuno's attack, he finds a crack in his cane. This causes Roman to growl as he shouts.
Roman:Alright girly, who the hell are you?!
Hakuno points her blade at Roman.
Hakuno/Nero:You wish to know? Then I shall enlighten you.
Listen well thief! I am Hakuno Kishinami! Huntress-in-training!
Roman grits his teeth in anger before he hears a familiar voice.
?:Hey!
Everyone's attention turns to Ruby as she appears on the rooftop overlooking them with Crescent Rose extended and ready for action. Penny shows up behind her. Roman quickly loses interest in Hakuno as he waves at Ruby.
Roman:Well, hello Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?
Penny:Ruby, are these people your friends?
Ruby's attention turns to Penny.
Ruby:Penny, get back!
With her attention diverted, Roman snarls and fires his cane at Ruby. The young Huntress-in-training is launched back from the explosion's force and sending her scythe flying away. Roman gives off a professional-level evil laugh at his attack on the young girl. Hakuno sees this and glares at Roman.
Hakuno/Nero:How dare you!
Hakuno resumes her assault on Roman once again. Back at the rooftop, Penny turns her head toward the criminal and gives her first glare. She then walks forward while Ruby tries to get back up.
Ruby:Penny, wait! Stop!
Penny:Don't worry, Ruby. I'm combat ready!
Penny's backpack mechanically opens up and from its dark depths comes a single sword that extends. The sword multiples into several blades which hover over Penny's back. She leaps from the rooftop with the weapons acting as wings. Penny then sends three of her swords to knock two White Fang soldiers down before even landing on the ground. She then proceeds to fling the swords at one enemy while impaling another to a wall. Penny then creates a barrier of spinning steel against a running attack while leaping over another goon with her swords in tow. She finally ends by making a wheel that she throws to knock multiple Faunus off their feet. Sun observers the spectacle in amazement before he runs off to safety.
Three Bullheads come from the skies and open fire on the battle, but Penny merely forms a shield and launches two of her swords into the wall behind her. Doing so causes her to pull her back with the swords strings. When her swords swirl around her again, Penny commands them to open their points and build up a large glowing ball of green light. With a punching action, several bright lasers crack the pavement when they fire at the transports and slice each one in half, causing several of the White Fang members inside to fall and letting Ruby watch as Bullheads fall in pieces behind her. Hakuno takes a minute to watch the spectacle and in that minute, Roman escapes.
Hakuno/Nero:Curses!
Hakuno takes a moment to breathe as her Semblance deactivates, retuning her to her normal appearance. She turns her attention back to Penny as she aims her swords at the remaining Bullheads holding the crate of Dust and pulls back on their wires. She tugs the aircraft with them.
Ruby:Whoa... How is she doing that?
After her large green pupils dilate for a second, Penny pulls with all her might on the strings and the aircraft crashes into a stack of crates, causing an explosion as a result. Roman watches from the safety of a Bullhead.
Roman:These kids just keep getting weirder...
With his observation made, Roman uses his cane to close the doors and the jet lifts off, flying away from the lost battle.
Later, a handful of police cars are seen at the docks, where Ruby, Blake, Hakuno, Tamamo, Sun, and Penny are sitting on boxes in silence. That is, until Weiss, Yang, Nero and Altera appear on the scene. Ruby quickly tries to explain the situation.
Ruby:Look Weiss, it's not what you think. She explained the whole thing. See, she doesn't actually have a bow, she has kitty ears and they're actually kind of cute...
Weiss ignores her and squares off with Blake. Blake calmly looks her down.
Blake:Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-
Weiss:Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you? Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided...
Yang, Sun, and Ruby look on, worried. Team HANT looks on in anticipation.
Weiss:I don't care.
Blake is surprised at Weiss' declaration.
Blake:You don't care?
Weiss:You said you're not one of them anymore, right?
Blake:No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-
Weiss:Ah-bah-bah-bah-bah! I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up... you'll come to your teammates. And not some...
Weiss looks at Sun behind her as she catches herself.
Weiss:Someone else.
Blake looks at Ruby and Yang grinning at her. Weiss suddenly looks remorseful as she grabs her left arm.
Weiss:And... I'm sorry.
Everyone looks at Weiss in surprise and disbelief.
Blake(Stunned):Your...sorry?
Weiss:I...jumped to conclusions before hearing your side of the story. Your my teammate and I should've listened. I'll try- No. I won't let it happen again.
Weiss glances at Hakuno who gives her a smile and a nod. Weiss in turn smiles as Blake wipes a tear from her eye while nodding.
Blake:Of course. And apology accepted.
Weiss smiles and nods. The moment is serious for a second more until Ruby screams:
Ruby:Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!
And as a plus side, I finally got to see Hakuno's Semblance!
Everyone turns their attention to Hakuno.
Weiss & Yang:WHAT?!
Weiss:Your Semblance?
Yang snaps her fingers in frustration.
Yang:Dang it! I missed it!
Blake:I been meaning to ask. What was all that? When you were fighting Roman, it was like you were another person. In fact, you acted a lot like Nero. Had her hair and eye color too.
Nero:OOOH! You used my skills Soshayo?
You flatter me.
Blake:Care to explain?
Hakuno rubs the back of her head.
Hakuno:Well...
A Semblance is the manifestation of one's innate and personal power as an ability unique to each individual right? The nature of one's Semblance is noted as representing an aspect of their character. Weiss has her glyphs. Blake has her shadow clones. Ruby has her speed. Yang has her explosive temper.
Yang:Hey!
Hakuno:All my life, I've watched other people defend me. Watching people I care about getting hurt and me not being able to do anything.
Hakuno's Servants look at her with small frowns.
Hakuno:My Semblance allows me to emulate other people and their abilities. It doesn't work on everyone. There are some limits. Unfortunately, it also causes me to take on their personality for a short time.
Everyone takes a moment to process this new information.
Yang:Whoa.
That sounds...seriously OP.
Hakuno:Hey, I can only hold it for five minutes max. I'm still working on it. I only discovered it months before school started. Since then, Nero, Tamamo and Altera have been helping me master it.
Sun:Wow. If our teams face off during the tournament, I might just have to forfeit.
I mean, if your this strong, I can only imagine what your teammates are like.
Tamamo:Oh-ho-ho. You may have a point Wukong-san.
Everyone starts to laugh. Hakuno is the first to calm down as she looks toward her group of friends.
Hakuno:(It's nice. To have real friends.)
Everyone else calms down. Ruby then looks around to find a certain someone missing.
Ruby:Hey, wait a minute... Where's Penny?
From the darkened back seat of a limo, Penny watches the group of friends reuniting with each other.
Penny's Driver:You should know better than to go running around in a strange city.
Penny sadly lowers her head.
Penny:I know, sir.
The car drives off as the driver speaks.
Penny's Driver:Penny, your time will come...
-Beacon Academy/Ozpin's office-
Meanwhile, Ozpin is seen holding a Scroll showing a "LIVE FEED" of Ruby at the docks. He closes the video and opens up a communication with Qrow, whose team name and other information is left blank. His message is: "QUEEN HAS PAWNS." "ALSO GOT A TAG ALONG."
Ozpin looks to see an off screen picture on his Scroll.
Ozpin:Hmmm... Interesting. Perhaps miss Kishinami knows something about this.
-End of volume 1-
-Vale/Warehouse -
Roman walks into a large warehouse with a shadowy interior. He goes over to a table and places down a case of mysterious contents, sighing in tiredness. He then turns around suddenly as he hears a female voice.
?:How very disappointing, Roman.
Roman:Whoa! Hehe... I wasn't expecting to see you guys so soon...
A woman with yellow eyes and flowing dark hair steps begins to walk towards Roman. Two other figures are seen behind her.
?:We were expecting... more from you.
Roman laughs a little before getting serious
Roman:Hey! You were the ones who suggested working with those stupid mutts from the White Fang.
The woman chuckles darkly as she summons a fireball in her hand and steps out of the darkness with her two companions. A gray haired man and mint haired tanned woman. The women's yellow eyes glow gold.
?:And you will continue to do so. We have big plans for you, Roman. All we ask is... a little cooperation.
Roman scoffs.
Roman:Whatever "boss". Now if you'll excuse me.
Roman places his can on the table. A large crack is shown. The woman from earlier leans in to observe the cane.
?:What happened to your cane?
Roman:*Scoff* Some schizoid chick with brown eyes. That's what happened. Had a sword that nearly broke it.
The woman looks intrigued.
?:Did you get a name?
Roman:She said her name was Hakuno Kishinami.
The woman's eyes widen in surprise.
Roman:Someone you know?
The woman chuckles again.
?:Not officially. Tell me more.
-To be continued in volume 2-
AN:Well everyone. It's been a heck of a ride. Thank you all for sticking with me up to this point. As I said in my earlier chapter, volume 2 and beyond will be located in this story. No separate story for each volume. Now here is an explanation on Hakuno's Semblance. Basically, she draws on the power of other Servants and has access to their abilities for five minutes. She also goes through a personality change as well as physical. Before you ask; yes, the Servant's powers are nerfed. Hakuno is not completely over powered. Also, she'll only have access to the Servant's used in Fate Extella Umbral Star. Not from any other sources. You'll get to see Hakuno acting like the other Servants down the line. One last thing. I going to modify Ser Veresta in the next chapter so it'll be "spar friendly".
Team HANT
Leader:Hakuno Kishinami
Semblance:Ephemeral Phantasm
See you in Gathering Arc! Yeah I know it sounds lame. If you have any suggestions on what I should call the next arc, let me know. Until then, Ja ne!
