Hey guys, I bring a HUGE present. This is the longest chapter so far, and I never want to do one this long again. Also who at least got a chuckle out of last chapters ending? Well here's the chapter. P.S his fear is called latrophobia.

I do not own RWBY or anything else that happens to be in the story.

Financial Problems and Team STRM

Kevin

After being dumped into the small examination room by the muscle bound idiot Kevin gave off a deep sigh and sat on the bed, waiting grudgingly for the doctor to arrive. Soon enough the door opened a crack and a bushy fox tail poked through followed by a white coat and the dark skinned woman attached to it all. "Sorry ta keep you waiting honey. I got held up. My name's Connie, I'll be taking care of you."

"What about the doctor? Where's he?"

Connie started pulling things from drawers around the room and smiled over her shoulder,"Oh don't worry about him. He's mighty busy at the moment."

"I think I'll just come back later…" Kevin started to stand up and walk to the door when Connie reached into her coat and pulled out a scalpel, licked it, and threw it right at Kevin's head. Kevin snapped his head to the side just enough for it to graze his cheek and it left a shallow cut.

"I said I'll be taking care of you. You ain't goin nowheres." Kevin suddenly felt all the strength leave his body and he crumpled to the floor; banging his head on the wooden door, something that should've hurt but oddly didn't. "What do you think of my semblance sugar? You woulda been outta here in 20 minutes but now you'll be numb and paralyzed for a good hour or so." Connie snapped the latex glove against her wrist,"Let's get started, M'kay?"

Team SNKE

After every one of his team got out of the infirmary Shura spoke up. "Ok team I say we first find our dorm, and then we start to learn the format of beacon. What say you?"

"Agreed" said Evan

"Ok" answered Nico

"Hmm" sounded Kevin rubbing his arm where he got a needle soon after his and Connie's "talk".

"I'll take that as a yes then. Team SNKE MOVE OUT." Said Shura striking a pose until he got Gibbs slapped by Kevin.

"Don't ever do that again."

15 minutes later

"Ok rise of hands, who else is wondering why our dorm is beside the headmasters office tower?" Evan asked before turning around and noticing that although no one had risen they're hand, they all had a 'can't comprehend' look on their face, and in the case of Shura nodding his head as well.

They all came out of their shock at the sound of a scroll going off, more specifically one to the sound of 'Through the Fire and the Flames' by DragonForce, and they all turned their heads to a confused looking Shura.

Shura looked down at his scroll, hit answer, and said, "Hello Headmaster Ozpin"

"Hello Mr. Kong. I'm sorry to say that this is not a social call; I need to see your team in my office. We need to discuss why your team has certain restrictions and freedoms compared to other teams, as well as your team's education fees."

"Yes sir, we'll be there ASAP."

"Yes, well, be here soon."

After Shura hung-up he had a confused look on his face as he looked at his team. Nico's face looked a little red, but other than that it was his normal indifferent-looking face, Kevin had a giant as all hell grin on his face, and Evan finally looked like he got over being both drunk and hungover.

"Well better go before we piss him off or something." Said Shura before leading his team to the headmaster's office.

5 minutes latter

They were all standing outside the headmaster's door and non-dared even knock. And as it turned out they didn't have too, because they all heard a voice from within.

"You know you could stand there all day, or you can come in and have a chat with your headmaster face to face, instead of face to door."

Directly after they heard this, the doors to his office opened to show Headmaster Ozpin at his desk shipping some coffee from his coffee mug.

"Now, I would wager that the four of you are confused by what I meant in my call, are you not?"

"Well, yes sir. I myself was wondering what you meant by 'Education Fees', as I thought everyone was supposed to pay to come here." Spoke Shura.

"Well, Mr. Kong you would be half right. We do require you to pay for schooling, whether it is by scholarships or out of pocket, but there are a few rare occasions that someone manages to 'slip-in' so to say. In fact right now half your team are slip-in's. Mr. Shura, you come from a line of legendary martial artist and have used a mix of scholarships and family money to gain entrance. Mr. Bengal, you come from a line of sword masters and your parents paid for your entrance to Beacon before you were born. Mr. Snakeroot, you are from a Major Family, as well as being the last of the Snakeroots."

"And Mr. Thorn, I'm sorry for the way you gained your money, and I understand that you hate the things you did to gain it, but I heard from a mutual friend of ours that you wouldn't mind that he is sponsoring you. So even though two of you have slipped-in, in all actuality only one has yet to pay." He says as he looks each one in the eyes as he mentions their name and payment, before finishing by looking at Kevin.

"Sir, I will gladly pay out of pocket using my family money." Stated Kevin with a look on his face that clearly spoke of no love lost to his family.

"Good, now in terms of your restrictions and freedoms. As I'm sure you have noticed by just looking at all your peers. You four are far above their level of skill, and one of you is even above them in aura. As such I have made it so that you can all go on missions, and that you all share a few jobs. Your first job is to guard the CDC Tower. If anyone unauthorized enters the building I want you to detain them, and if detainment is not possible, aim to kill. Your second job is to guard team RWBY as the four of them all have powerful family members, and a certain Rose has silver eyes." Said Ozpin finishing by staring his brown eyes into Kevin's purple ones. "I see you do not carry your families hatred for the Rose family. Why is that?"

"My ancestors might have hated the Rose family for leaving us during the Flower Family War, but I can see why they did that. They saw how messed up my family was becoming, and how bloodthirsty the Clovers had become. So I understand why they left and don't blame them, especially since that happened well over 200 years ago." Stated Kevin with an indifferent look on his face.

"Wise words Mr. Snakeroot. And finally your third job is to secure the arena for the Vital Festival that includes running security until professionals can take over, and test running the arenas different sections."

At this all members of team SNKE looked shocked. Shura had his mouth open and eyes open wide, Nico only had his eyes widen a little, Kevin fell down onto his butt in shock, and Evan had a giant grin on his face with eyes that promised pain.

"Now as for your restrictions. As you have noticed, you all have an entire building to yourselves. Normally this building is for guest, but it hasn't been used in years. The point is though that due to each of your past I have had you moved to that building in case of a breakdown. Not only would I be literally next door, but my students will be safe as well. Second, even though I will allow you all to go on missions, each of you needs to be passing with at least a B in every class to get a mission, before everyone else does after fall break. And finally third, you are all to get a mental check-up by our Doctor each month to make sure that no one here is close to breaking. Oh, and Mr. Thorn, while I personally understand why you drink, Ms. Goodwitch will not stand for it in her presence. That is all, dismissed."

After they walked out the door Evan let out a breath he hadn't even noticed he was holding. "Well, someone remind me to thank him next time we see him."

They all stared at him wondering what he meant by that before they noticed Ozpin's choose of words, before Shura started laughing.

"Now all I need to do is either get drunk enough that the hangover doesn't come till much later, or get as sober as possible before going to class." Continued Evan, which only made Shura laugh harder at imagining what Evan would do drunk.

The Kevin spoke up with a confused look on his face, "Wait, aren't you extremely drunk right now?"

"Kevin," said Evan as he looked him in the eyes, "I'm always the drunkest person in the room." He said before walking in the elevator and closing the door before Kevin or the Laughing Shura could get in.

8 minutes later

At team SNKE's apartment Nico was sharpening his wakizashi on the back porch, and Evan was sitting on the couch with his feet propped up on the coffee table. When the front door slammed open, and in walked a red faced (and still chuckling) Shura, and a highly unamused Kevin.

"Why did you leave me with the laughing monkey?" asked Kevin with a twitching eyebrow.

"What do you mean monkey?" asked Evan not bothering to turn around to acknowledge that Shura's duster was in Kevin's arms, and without the duster Shura could be clearly be seen with a monkey tail.

"Well, why don't you get up, turn around, and take a once over at Shura."

By this point Nico decided to come back in the house and paused when he saw Shura, tilted his head a little to the right, and then straightened up before continuing toward his bedroom without saying a word. Evan sighed before doing as Kevin said and just shrugs his shoulders before setting back down, and saying, "So? That doesn't make any difference in how I see him as a person, In fact if the fact that someone that you are friends with was suddenly discovered to be a faunas, and you are affected by it, then you were never a good friend to begin with."

Kevin had a look of shock on his face, fully not expecting Evan not to react in that way. Shura finally stopped laughing and his face said that he agreed. "Oh and," Evan continued, "Since this is an apartment we each have our own bedrooms, and we can decorate in whatever way you want, but we have to agree on all the main rooms." Then he stood up and went to decorate his room.

3 hours later

They had just finished setting up the main rooms when the sun started to set. As they all sat down, they couldn't help but look at what they accomplished. The walls of all the main rooms a golden color. The living room had one couch facing away from the front door and the other facing the door with a coffee table between then. The lazy-boy was between the couches and to the side, while also facing the fireplace. The TV was mounted on the wall above a fireplace, and on either side are bookcases, with the left holding actual books, and the right holding CD's.

The kitchen is to the right of the living room separated by a waist high bar, and as soon as you enter the fridge is to the right and beside that is the stove. Most of the kitchen is made of empty cabinets and drawers. The dining room is directly behind the kitchen , and it only holds a table with enough room for 10 people. Hidden by a wall behind the living room are the stairs to go up to the bedrooms, with the final room downstairs being the laundry room beside the stairs and the dinning room.

Shura spoke first, "Well, I'm beat, goodnight." Before he and everyone else went to their rooms.

All the rooms on the top floor are to the right of the stairs, and the first on is Shura's.

Shura's room is painted in a flame red color, on the right of the door is a desk with a light. On the other side of the door in a coat rack, on either side of his bed are nightstands that each hold a lamp, and the one on the right has an alarm clock. His bed is a king size with red covers, and the closet is on the right of the room and the bathroom is to the left. His curtains are a transparent red, giving the room a red coloring, and Wukong is leaning against the wall to the right of the closet.

The second room is Nico's, and his room is a black color, with a desk on the right side of his bed that holds a whetstone and other sharpening tools. Beside his closet is an armor holder with his armor on. On the left side of his bed is a nightstand with a lamp and clock. He has a sword rack holding his wakizashi on his right wall. His king sized bed has crimson colored covers with black pillowcases, and his blinds are a dark blue color allowing enough light for him to see his room.

The third bedroom is Kevin's, and his room is a natural blue color, with a nightstand on the right of the bed, and a calendar above the nightstand. On the nightstand is a clock and lamp. Lone Star is in its sheath and leaning on the wall in between the bed and nightstand. His bed is king sized with blue covers, and he has yellow blinds.

The fourth, and final, bedroom is Evan's. His room is a forest green, his king sized bed also has forest green covers and his window has rust red blinds. His room has a nightstand on the right side of the desk. On the nightstand is; a clock, lamp, and leather bound book. On the other side of the bed is a table with Night Burner, 2 suitcases, and a tool bag on it.

Next day

Evan

He opened his eyes to see himself walking away from the arena from the last fight only to enter another. Already in the arena is his opponent, a tall, hulking figure with muscles on his muscles. He was wearing a pair of crimson boxing shorts and a silver skull mask with a gold crown.

"And here is the challenger! This is the youngest prince since the beginning of this organization! EVAN THORN! And his opponent, the current king, BALROG BISON!" The two of them face each other before they both go into a boxing stance.

"BEGIN!"

They both rush toward the other before they're fist meet in the middle of the arena sending shockwaves everywhere, and cracking the ground 10 feet in every direction. Evan goes for an uppercut, only to be punched in the gut by the equivalent of 10 speeding semi-trucks in the size of a family sized ham, sending him flying into the air…..before getting punched in the face launching him backwards hitting the wall, and causing dust and debris to go flying everywhere as Balrog charges towards his opponent.

Evan steps out of the cloud of dust only to duck out of the way of a fist. He then twist his arms, and launches his feet into Balrog's groin and flaps back to his feet to push his advantage, only for another ham-sized fist to nail him in the left side of the head. This time instead of going flying he only stumbles, before looking at his opponent with blurry vision to see him still standing, not even being a little phased by the double boot to the crotch. (A.N. Ouch)

'How did that not phase him?' he thought, only to have to dodge out of the way of another punch that could have broken more than his bones. 'I must win! I have to win! If I don't win, then I will fail them!' this final thought was enough to make him charge and start wailing on his opponent, dodging or blocking every attack that was thrown at him, even far after the skin on his knuckles ripped off, and his hands became covered in both his and Balrog's blood. All that was on his mind was the facts that he could NOT lose this match, and his opponent was STILL standing and STILL fighting.

By this point all Evan saw was red, and his opponent, "DIE ALREADY YOU SON OF A BITCH!" he screamed as his fist finally connected his Balrog's head, sending him stumbling backwards, before another punch to the face sent his head recalling back.

"THIS IS FOR MY FAMILY ASSHOLE!" Evan screamed as his fist went through the guy's chest….. Only for him to start laughing as he stands up pulling Evan with him. By this point Evan's eyes get real wide as Balrog's eyes finally seem to focus on him for the first time. And in a rough voice he begins to speak, "You have far to go child, but I see your potential, and current power. And for that I will acknowledge you as my equal." He says his eyes never leaving Evans, as he lowers Evans 13 year old body to the ground, and taking of his own mask before throwing it to the side, and Evan does the same, before they both back away giving the other distance. "NOW SHOW ME THE POWER OF YOUR WILL! THORN!" he says as he charges Evan with his fist reared back. "BISON!" Evan yells as he too charges.

They're fist classed in yet another stalemate, each judging the others current strength as the floor on the entire arena starts to crack, before breaking apart sending pieces flying everywhere. With this both their auras come to life, and starts healing their bodies, as well as giving them more strength. But even with the boost Evan was still just as young boy, whereas his opponent was in his prime, this alone was enough to give Balrog the edge, and he took every advantage of it until Evan jumped backwards, and noticed the arena was ruined, and all the dealers, onlookers, and even the announcer had fled from the safety that was 80 feet high shield covered seats, leaving only the two of them and the cameras in the room.

No sooner had he noticed this did his opponent speak, "That WAS impressive, not just ANYONE can cross fist with me and survive, but to also cause this much damage. Kid you will go far in life, well that is of course if you win, and survive this fight." And with that they both got ready. Before classing again.

This time neither of them bothered with testing the other, they just began the dance of death, each hit being powerful enough to cripple or kill a normal person, and each one killing a chunk of aura. Aura that was already being used to heal injuries and overpower their already overwhelming strength. And eventually someone's aura gave-in and a fist went through their lung, before being torn out.

Balrog falls to his knees, looks at the new hole in his chest, and sighs before smiling and saying, "Well done kid, you were a worthy opponent to die against, but I ask you this final request."

Felling it was the least he could do for the dying man he responds, "Yes Balrog, what do you need?"

"Please bury me with honor, we both know that even if I was the king they will just toss me in the trash after I die."

"Of course I will, you are one of the most honorable people I have fought, I will honor your request."

As Balrog begins to fall he closes his eyes and says his final words, "Thank you…. Worthy opponent." And like that Balrog Bison, 10 year King of Fighters died with a smile on his face.

As he begins to wake up he hears a rapidly fading voice say "GIVE IT UP FOR OUR NEW KING! EVAN THORN!"

Evan again wakes up in a start to see his clock read 3:56 and decides to get up and get ready for a long day.

10 minutes later

After he got ready he start heading for the kitchen to start breakfast, only to almost hit Nico who walked down the hall toward the stairs like a zombie. When he gets to the kitchen he sees the coffee maker on and pulls out the cooking equipment before working on the team's breakfast.

About halfway through making breakfast the rest of the team comes down the stairs with Shura having a longing look on his face, and Kevin looking pale. Also by that time Nico had finished his first cup, and was on his second.

1 hour later

After they all ate and Nico had 5 cups of coffee. They each went to their bathrooms to do their own business, before heading out in different directions. Evan went to a training ground before doing his daily warm up involving; 500 push-ups, 500 sit-ups, 1000 squats, holding a 200lb weight straight out in front of him for a minute, and a 10 mile run. He had to run around beacon several times but in the end he was finished with his warm-up and lucky for him, he had ran with a tiger faunas named Ragnar who was willing to spar with him.

As he gathered his excitement for a fight, his sparring partner entered the room. Ragnar was wearing an orange tank-top, black cargo pants with a pair of orange, spiked knee guards, and a pair of black combat boots. His orange hair cut into a style that reminded him of a killer robot movie that he saw once. His tan skin not having a single mark on it except the tattoo of three scratch marks on his right bulging bicep.

Evans brown eyes meet Ragnar's yellow eyes. "So I'm guessing no weapons, and we go until one of us either surrenders or can no-longer fight?" asked Evan as Ragnar's tail waved through the air and his tiger ears twitched. "That sounds good to me."

12:00 (4 hours later)

When they left the training room, they were both covered in sweat and healing bruises. "Well, I haven't had fun like that in quite some time Ragnar. What year did you say you were again?"

Ragnar laughed as he said, "Oh, I'm a second year, and I'm surprised that you lasted so long, firsty!" he said while still laughing.

"Ok? Well how about we go to my team's dorm, and I fix us some lunch?"

Ragnar looked at his scroll and said, "Actually my team is going to our neighbors for lunch so I'll see you later."

"Ok, so same time tomorrow?"

"Actually as fun as it is, the only days I don't have team training are Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekend. So I'll see you Thursday?"

"Sure! See ya Ragnar!" Evan said as he ran toward his team's dorm.

"Bye!"

That morning

Kevin

Kevin was getting off a bulkhead that he paid for with his family's money, only to see the strict desert that covers the kingdom of Vacuo. He was now 11 and spent the whole year since his birthday training to defeat Wacian. As he steps off the bulkhead took flight, as the pilot had already stated that he wasn't going to stay after he got off.

As he looks around, he sees Shade academy in the distance, and could barely make out the city around the school. But he wasn't here for that, and his guests most likely wouldn't let him out of this area without a fight.

"You can come on out bandits, I know your there. I can see all 4 of you there, there, there, and there." He says with confidence as he points in front and slightly to the left. Directly to the right, to the left and slightly down, and directly behind him, before pulling out Lone Star and his shield, and taking a stance.

The bandits knowing they were found out came out of hiding, three of them were male and the last was a female, who began to give commands.

"Joe, Trevor, Jay attack!" on that demand one of the guys pulled out a rifle while the other two charge with the one on his left holding a knife, and the one on his right holding a flanged mace.

He dodges the gunfire from the man in front of him, as he lifts his shield blocking the knife, and swings his sword giving the mace user a deep cut across the stomach, making him drop to the ground to bleed out.

"BROTHER!" shouts the knife wielder before he begins to attack like a wild animal, before his lonly head meet the dirt. The last of the men charges at him as his rifle turns into a spear, and attempts to stab him. Only for Kevin to deflect the thrust with his shield, and returning the favor with a stab to the heart.

He turns around to see his final opponent. She looked to be around 16, with tri-colored hair, two different colored eyes, and holding a thin straight sword as a weapon. He stares his new opponent down before a throwing Knife came out of nowhere and slit her neck, making both their eyes go wide, as she drops her blade and holds her neck, trying to hold back the blood.

"Well, well. What do we have here? Some of Ravens bandits, and Kevin? My day just got ah whole lot better!" came the Scottish sounding of the man he hunted here.

"Wacian!" he screamed as he charged the man, not noticing the smile on his face or the newly formed criminal picking up his last opponent. But what he did notice were the mines that went off throwing him backwards, and knocking him out as his head hit a rock.

Only for him to wake up from the nightmare of his second fight with Wacian. The man's note that he found when he woke leaving a lasting imprecation in his mind. 'Face me when you're stronger.'

And with that he went down stairs.

After breakfast

Like the rest of the team, Kevin went his own way. He eventually found a clearing in the Emerald Forest, and started his daily workout involving; 100 push-ups, 100, sit-ups, and a 3 mile run. After he ran he got out Lone Star and began his hour long swordplay practice. about 30 minutes into his swordplay, he senses someone enter his semblances radius. As he turns around the person comes through the underbrush, and he got a good look at her. She was about 6 inches smaller than him, with brown bushy hair to mid shoulder blades, and hazel eyes. She was wearing a pair of long metal bracelets, with a blade on the outside of each, a necklace with a gothic B on it, a brown, sleeveless hoodie, brown cargo pants cut off mid-shin, with a string tying up the end, and brown combat boots. As he takes a second glance he notices a brown monkey tail.

"So why are you here, freshy?" she said with confusion on her face. "Most freshman teams are told not to go into this forest and that if they're caught they will be severely punished."

His grip on his sword tightened as he responded, "Yeah well I most have not gotten the memo, now who are you?"

She put her hand over her heart and bowed, "My name is Mae Climer, and I am a member of second year team STRM (storm). Now it is only right that the gentleman give his name first, but I'll overlook it this time." She said as she raised her head before winking and lifting herself up.

"My name is Kevin Snakeroot, member of the freshman team SNKE." He responded losing his grip and lowering his sword.

"Well since we're already here, and we're both warmed up how about we began the main course?" she said with a smirk and her eyebrows wiggling suggesting something. This was enough to make a blush appear on Kevin's face as she leaned over giving him a nice view of her chest, before she suddenly jumped up, and her bracelet blades lengthened into tonfas.

"If you win, I'll even give you a kiss before I leave hot stuff."

Elsewhere

Yang had just woken up with an intense need to punch someone, only she had no idea why. "Oh well, back to sleep."

Back to Kevin

His blush just became even redder, but that didn't stop him from lifting Lone Star and charging. 'What the hell might as well have a little fun.'

11:46, 5 hours later

The match finally ended with Mae on the ground with Kevin's sword at her throat. "Give in, you've lost." "Very well, I give." She says as she puts her hands in a surrender position.

As he helps her up, she yanks him down and rolls on top of him before saying, "I always keep my promises big boy." Before kissing him on the lips.

His eyes go wide with shock even when she stands up and runs back toward the school. About 5 minutes later with his body still in shock he gets up and walks toward his dorm on autopilot.

That morning after breakfast

Nico

Nico decided that the best place for him to train was at the cliffs facing the water, and when he got there he began to do his bi-weekly exercise involving; 50 push-ups, 75 sit-ups, a mile run, and doing kata for an hour. Before sitting down to meditate.

10:00, 3 hours later

He opened his eyes to see a girl walking his way. Her Green hair was put into a braid, that judging from it swaying behind her went to her waist. She wears an open green vest with a gold trim, and covering her boobs were green chest wraps. She also wears a green hakama, Tobi shocks and straw sandals. As she gets closer he sees a gold sash holding a green handled katana in a green sheath and her eyes where venomous green.

She sits down next to him and without a word begins to meditate. With this he closes his eyes and resumes his own meditation.

12:00, 2 hours later

Seemingly as one they both get up and walk back to their own dorm.

That morning after breakfast

Shura

Shura lagged behind his team and decided to go to the training room beside 's classroom. When he got there he noted how the room was the size of a football field. He took off his duster and both parts of Wukong, and began his exercise. His exercise involved 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 300 squats, and, since he was inside, 20 full suicides. He had just picked up Wukong when he felt someone watching him.

He turned towards where he felt the staring coming from with Wukong raised and ready to throw, only for no one to be there and the felling to switch to above him.

In a single move he threw Wukong, yanked on his duster, and set it on fire, but before he could absorb the fire Wukong fell down, covered in ice. Then a girl fell from the ceiling, her most notable features was her white hair, tail, and cat ears. She stood about 5'6" with green eyes, her hair was cut into a bob cut, and her hair matched her pale skin. She was wearing a black face mask (Kakashi's mask), a white, sleeveless battle kimono, black, elbow length gloves with 6" long bracelets on each wrist, black leggings, and black shinobi sandals.

"Calm down freshman. I'm just here to see how well my fellow leader and neighbor is. And from what I've seen, you are… interesting. So tell me about yourself and I'll tell you about me, deal?"

"Deal."

"My name is Shanon Reijingu, leader of second year team STRM, what is your name?"

Shura picked up Wukong and activated the red dust in the weapon to melt the ice, before putting it up and saying, "My name is Shura Kong leader of first year team SNKE."

12:00, 3.5 hours later

Shura walked out with his fellow leader and each went their own way knowing they will see each other soon

12:15, at the dorm

Team SNKE

Once they were all gathered at the dorm, they all took a shower. The first one out of the shower was Nico, who began to make lunch for them and the other team Shura said was coming, soon after Evan came down to help. About midway through making lunch there was a knock on the door and Kevin went to open the door, only to freeze when he saw Mae on the other side along with who he could guess was her team.

Seeing Kevin freeze up Shura went to see why only to see a girl rolling on the ground laughing, along with the rest of team STRM. "Ah, team STRM yes please come in and take a seat."

The other members of team SNKE were surprised to see the people they had met earlier.

"So Ragnar, I guess we're neighbors then huh." Said Evan as he finished his half of the meal.

"So it seems Evan."

Evan then turns to Shura and asks, "So care to introduce us Shura?"

"Very well," he turns to team STRM with the monkey chick still chuckling and giving Kevin glances, "I am Shura Kong, leader of team SNKE. The guy still cooking is Nico Bengal. The one still frozen at the door is Kevin Snakeroot." At this Kevin finally snaps out of it and walks to the couch with Mae sitting across from him giving him a wink. "And the huge guy in the kitchen is Evan Thorn, Shanon I do believe it's your turn."

Shanon nods her head before beginning, "Well my name is Shanon Reijingu, leader of team STRM. The girl next to me is Tracy Anguis. The male of the group is Ragnar Verberibus. And the girl teasing Kevin is Mae Climer."

"DINERS READY!"

As they walk to the set table Shura notices on the back of Shanon's kimono is a black cat head. And on the back of Tracy's vest is a gold Ouroboros in a figure 8.

After lunch

They all went into the living room to talk, and the first one to talk was Shanon, "Do any of you know exactly why only our two teams are put in these apartments?"

When no one on team SNKE said anything she continued, "Our teams have been deemed 'to dangerous' to be with other teams. Because of our past or our skill set, we are put into buildings close to the headmaster so he can keep a better eye on us." All the response she got out of that was silence. "I'm not saying that he is wrong, for example, in my team alone 1 member has a past of killing without remorse, another has a anger issues and too much power to let them be close to another team in their rage, and finally there is 1 here that has an illness that she had while her aura was unlocked to safe her…. Just think on it." And with that team STRM walked out of the house before anyone could say a thing.

Team SNKE just sat there thinking before Shura spoke up. "Well, Nico I've noticed you don't have a symbol, why is that."

Nico sighed, relieved that the silence was over, "The reason that is because I never got around to getting it done. And on that note why do you not have yours?"

Shura smirked before taking off his shirt and turning around, "I have it as a tattoo on my back." They all saw a black S on his back with the outside of the curves apparently having fur, and the whole thing looking like a monkey's tail.

"Ok, so I would assume that beacon has a store that makes your mark?" asks Evan to Nico, as he was the one with the map. "Yes, the store is next to the main building, and if you are facing the main doors it would be to your right."

"Ok then let's go." Said Kevin. All of them walked out with Shura in the back with his clothes back on grumbling about no one commenting on his tattoo.

6:00, 4 hours later

All members of team SNKE were admiring Nico's mark on the back of his armor. The design was simple, yet still an awesome mark. The mark was black, and it was made up of 2 katana put into an X with the hilts down, and the edges going inward.

Evan looks at the time and says, "Well I don't know about ya'll, but I'm gonna go ahead and hit the hay." And with everyone agreeing they all go to bed early.

Finished, I wanted to put in the meeting of teams SNKE, TYDY, RWBY, and JNPR. But I decided that this chapter was long enough. Next chapter will have that though as well as some episodes of volume 1. So you got that to look forward to. How was Connie, yes I did get her from Sakuya (in fact he just did that scene less than an hour ago). Also there are no songs for Team STRM at the moment but I will look into them. Anyways until next time, see ya'll.
