Hey people! Sorry for this late chapter, for the last two days I was binge watching Claymore (I regret nothing) and just didn't really write...anything. But here it is! Chapter eleven! Read and I hope you enjoy!

"GOOOOD MORNING, TEAM RSNC!" Ruby's shout, combined with a shrill whistle had a rather negative reaction on the Team.

"GAA! WHY?!" Skyler set up straight in the bed and looked wildly around. Crimson tried to flip out of his bed with poise, but the blanket caught around his feet, resulting in an uncontrolled belly-flop onto the floor. Neo just stuffed her pillow over her head and stayed in bed. Ruby looked around and shrugged.

"Fine, your choice." Ruby activated her Semblance, a storm of rose petals appearing in the room. Crimson found himself standing up with the blanket throw messily back onto the bed, Neo was suddenly upright on the floor, reeling a little from dizziness. Skyler, on the other hand, had the unfortunateness of wearing a silk nightshirt causing the supersonic Ruby's hands to slip which resulted in Skyler flying, screaming, out the window at nearly the speed of sound.

Crimson collapsed back onto the floor in hysterics.

"OK! Now that we are all assembled! We can official begin our first order of business!"

Team RSNC was standing around the room, Skyler's aura healing his broken nose. He stood staring at Ruby.

"What?"

Crimson however had gotten the gist. "Decorating!" He looked around the room. "We still need to unpack."

Neo nudged her suitcase open, spilling its entire contents on the floor.

"And Neo needs to clean!"

Ruby blow her whistle to retrieve everyone's attention. "Alright! Crimson, Skyler, Neo, and their fearless leader Ruby, have begun their first mission! Banzai!"

Skyler face palmed and then stared in bafflement as Crimson joined Ruby. "Banzai!"

Neo pumped her fist into the air.

"It's not going to fit."

"It'll fit!"

"It's way too big."

"Shut up, Snowball!"

Crimson tried once again to squeeze the huge chest into the room. The monster of a dark brown chest banging against the doorframe. Skyler watched, curious to see where this was going.

"Where were you keeping that anyways?"

Crimson grunted in response, he tried fitting in the chest at an angle and managed to push it half through. "Come on, you filthy little shi- "The chest plowed through the wood of the door-frame, exploding the wood on both sides, and widening the middle of the doorway by 4 inches on both side. The trunk landed on the floor with a bone-jarring thud. Neo and Ruby, who seemed to be dismantling a bed to replace with a hammock, jumped and turned to see the chest sitting solidly on the floor. Crimson looked at the doorway.

"Well, that went better than I thought it would."

Skyler came back down from his bed. "Oh good, glad we could get by with only some damage to our dorm."

Neo raised her eyebrows at the massive black box, she looked over at Crimson. What do you even need that for?"

Crimson rolled his shoulders in a shrug. "A few things we might need for our stay here. Hair dye, some weapon repair kits, extra clothes, explosives."

Neo confused expression cleared up and she nodded affirmatively. She and Ruby went back to setting up the room.

Skyler came up to the chest and brushed off some wood chips. "Where are you going to put this thing?"

Crimson stared at Skyler for a moment, then looked at the chest, a concerned look on his face. But before he could say anything, the sounds of Neo's bed falling apart caught his attention. As Ruby cheered, a light came into his eyes and he pulled one of his cleavers out of its sheath.

"Skyler, did you know that I can't sleep in a real bed?"

Skyler eyed the cleaver warily. "I sorta guessed that, but- "

The cleaver's blade split, revealing a white orb of Dust.

"Crimson…"

Crimson grabbed Skyler and pulled him out of the way. "Nobody move." The cleaver welder called out, his eyes narrowing as he took aim.

"You might die."

"CRIMSON!"

"OK, decorating is done and only slight damage to the door-frame and Crimson's corner of the room!"

Crimson threw the last pillow onto the chest which he had official decided to make his bed when he reduce the school bed to kindling. Skyler shot a glare at him.

"Yeah, also scorch marks on my bed when the maniac nearly blew it to pieces!"

Crimson held up a finger. "But I didn't."

"Anyway." Ruby announced. "Our second order of business is…classes." Bleakness crept under her voice as she opened the class schedule. "Ok, we have a few classes together today. At nine, we gotta be at-."

Crimson raised his hand. "Yeah, about that."

Ruby raised her head. "What?"

"It's 8:55."

Skyler scrambled off his damaged bed. "IT'S EIGHT FIFTY-FIVE?! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?! GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

He pushed past Crimson and ran full-pelt down the hallway, towards the classrooms. Team RSNC poked their heads out into the hallway to see Team JNPR and Team EBWY doing the same.

"Everyone's late." Ruby muttered. "Everyone to class!"

Team RSNC ran after it's well-dressed member. Followed closely by Team EBWY.

Jaune looked confused. "Class?"

It took his team falling on him to boast his memory. "Wh-whaaa! Ullig!"

He pushed himself off the floor and started sprinting. "We're gonna be late!"

"Monsters! Demons!"

"Incredible egotistical Professors." Crimson muttered into the crock of his arm.

"Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names. But I merely refer to them as prey! Hu-huh-Haha!"

The rest of the class room remained silent.

"Uhh." Professor Port recovered. "And you shall too, upon graduating this prestigious academy." He started to slowly pace the room. "Now as I was saying, Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces. And that, is where we come in."

He faced the class. "Hunters! Huntresses!" Port clicked his tongue at Team EBWY who looked very uncomfortable.

"Individuals who sworn to protect those who can't protect themselves. From what you ask?" The Professor paused dramatically. "Why…the very world!"

"Eyyy-YUP!" The student in an upper tier attached judgmental stares from the rest. Port plowed on through, however. Boredom or no boredom, conscious students or unconscious students, nothing will make Peter Port stop talking!

"That is what you are training to become. But first, a story! A tale of a young, handsome, man."

"50 lien says our Professor thinks extremely high of himself." Skyler murmured to no one in particular as Port carried on.

"Me. When I was a boy…"

And that was all the useless information Crimson could fit into his brain. For the next twenty minutes, babbling filled the classroom as the students doodled or fell asleep.

"...Despite smelling like cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. Peter, he told me, …"

False alarm, Crimson put his head down.

"In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I return to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high! Celebrated, as a hero!" He bowed to the class.

"The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable. A true Huntsman must be dependable. A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!" He looked around.

"So, who among you think they are the embodiment of these traits?"

A commotion sounded at the other end of the room as Weiss Schnee raised her hand high in the air.

"I do, sir!" The heiress shot a glare at Ebon Winters who appeared to be ignoring her. Port raised his eyebrows.

"Well, then. Let's see." He gestured for a large iron cage to be brought in. "Come, and face your opponent!"

The cage snarled and rattled.

Weiss held her rapier out on front of her. Preparing for whatever comes out of that cage. Her team shouted support.

"Gooo, Weiss!"

"Fight well!"

"Yeah, Represent Team EBWY!" Ebon shouted. Weiss turned on her in annoyance.

"Ebon, I'm trying to focus!"

"Well, sorry." Ruby heard the coal-haired leader of Team EBWY mutter.

Prof. Port raised his weapon. "Alright, let the match begin!" He brought the blunder-axe down on the lock of the cage and released a Boarbatusk into the classroom.

The monster charged straight at Weiss, a growling squeal issuing from the Grimm. It bowed its head preparing to gore Weiss, but she step-sided away and slashed Myrtenaster across the beast's back. But the armor of the monster caused the blade to ring off and jerk Weiss back. Landing with grace, she prepared for another attack.

"Haha, wasn't expecting that, were you?"

"Hang in there, Weiss!" Yang called out.

The Boarbatusk charged as Weiss attacked, unfortunately for the human, her rapier managed to get caught in the Grimm's tusk where it stayed with Weiss hanging on for dear life.

"Bold new approach? I like it!" Port chuckled. "Now let's see how well you do against two!"

He raised his blunder-axe again and knocked the lock off a second cage, this one containing a large Beowolf.

Crimson looked over at the Grimm as the rest of Team RSNC's expressions changed to shock. Crimson shook his head.

"Of course, Ozpin would be drawn to the man who unleashes Grimm on the students." He put his head down and said in a drowsy voice. "Tell me who survives."

The Boarbatusk wrenched Myrtenaster from Weiss's hands just as the Beowolf pounced. But Weiss wasn't a novice at combat, she leapt aside in the nick of time, the Beowolf, not releasing the human was no longer in the way of its claws, hit the Boarbatusk full-on, sending both tumbling into a heap.

Weiss took the opportunity to rush to the spot where her sword lay on the floor. She picked it up and launched fire Dust at the pile of Grimm, but the Boarbatusk rolled around to deflect the Dust on its armored back. The Beowolf and Boarbatusk detangled and started to approach Weiss from both sides.

"Weiss..." Ebon said worriedly, nervously watching the Grimm with her hand on the hilt of Scale Snatcher.

"I'm fine!" Weiss snapped back. "I am completely fine-AAAHGGGGAAAAA…"

A rolling ball of Boarbatusk death rammed Weiss in the stomach. The Beowolf howled and came snarling up, preparing to finish the kill. Weiss painfully rolled to dodge it's claws and slipped her thin blade into the eye socket of the rancid smelling creature. It jerked back as the blade skewered its eye and whipped its head around in agony. Weiss pushed herself up.

The Beowolf lumbered back to let the Boarbatusk take its place. The swine Grimm squealed harshly and charged, only to slam into a huge, white glyph that Weiss conjured up in front of her.

"Ok, I can do- "

GRRREWWOL! The Beowolf's blow sent her flying to the side, where she landed in the middle of the room. Blood poured from the slashes on her back, she tried to once again push herself up, but her arms gave way and she fell back to the floor. Prof. Port, seeing the situation, raised the Blunder-axe.

"That's enough, monster." He started to squeeze the trigger, but the Grimm had other plans, the dazed Boarbatusk gave its head a shake and turned on the Professor. It rammed into the man and sent itself and the human plowing to the ground.

"WEISS!" Team EBWY jumped up in their seats, they leaped over the barrier and rushed to help. But the Boarbatusk had other ideas, it rushed the approaching team, leaping away from the unconscious body of Professor Port.

"WEISS! Get up!" Ebon called as she, Yang, and Blake fended off attacks from the Grimm. But Weiss wasn't listening, she was trying to reach her rapier as the Beowolf came closer, drool dripping from its lips. It stood over Weiss who looked up at it with wide eyes. So, I die at school? After everything I did to get here, this is how I die?

The Beowolf raised its paw, claws extended, a snarl escaping from the monster's lips. Weiss closed her eyes. Waiting for the blow…waiting…waiting…Weiss cracked open her eyes. What is going-OH MY GOD!

The Beowolf was reeling back, a smirking Ruby having just drove her fist into its throat.

Ruby stared in shock as a second Grimm was unleashed on Weiss. She gestured towards the Grimm with wild hand gestures.

"What is Professor Port thinking?!" Off to the side, Ruby heard Crimson mutter something that just about amounted to calling the entire staff of Beacon a bunch of filthy sadists. Ruby glanced at Neo.

"Really though, two Grimm? Really?"

Neo just shrugged and watched the fight. Skyler joined her, saying sideways to Ruby.

"I'm sure it will be fine."

It wasn't fine.

Ruby stood up in her seat as Weiss was thrown to the middle of the room by the Beowolf. Team EBWY joining her.

"WEISS!"

The Team jumped down to help the fallen girl, but they were attacked by the Boarbatusk before they could reach her. "WEISS! Get up!"

But as Ruby watched the Beowolf loped towards the injured figure on the floor. Neo took one look at Ruby's face and sighed. She pointed to Ruby's back, which was devoid of Crescent Rose. Ruby just cracked her knuckles. Neo looked at her and swung her parasol in the air. "You're insane, Rose."

Together they leapt down to the brawl.

Skyler watched them, knowing full well that Ruby and Neo could probably take on every Grimm in Vale and slaughter them with ease. Crimson kept his head down.

"So, who's winning?" The muffled voice of Crimson asked.

Skyler looked at the battle. "Well…Ruby just throat-punched the Beowolf, that's quite the right hook she has there."

"Mmm."

"Neo, I do believe, has just shattered into a thousand pieces."

"Yeah, she does that." Crimson's twilight blue eyes poked over his arm. "Remember, with the Nevermore?"

Skyler nodded. "Sure, when she stabbed it in the eye."

"Yeah." There was lull in the conversation as the Boarbatusk was beheaded. Team EBWY rushed forward and grabbed the unconscious Weiss from the puddle of blood she lay in. Neo reappeared on the Beowolf's back as Ruby plowed her fist into the soft underbelly. The monster doubled over which caused Neo to smirk. A blade jutted out from the end of her parasol and she drove it through the Beowolf's spine. A quick twist and the beast's howling became a soft whimper. The monster dropped to the floor and started to dissolve into shadows.

Neo stepped down from the carcass and, hooking arms with Ruby, walked back to Crimson and Skyler.

"Good job." Skyler nodded, Crimson gave them a thumb ups.

"Sooo…what now?" Crimson looked at his team questionably. Evening has fallen over Beacon and the students had been released for the day. Ruby mused, throwing a few thoughts around in her head.

"We could go visit Roman?" Ruby liked the thought of seeing Rome' again and Neo's face brightened. But Crimson suddenly became very uncomfortable.

"Well…uh…err…I really rather not."

Ruby turned to look at Crimson. "Do you and Roman have some deep, dark history? Because Roman literal cringed when he put you on my team. Crimson, what did you do to make Roman cringe?"

Crimson just did a small shrug. "I have no idea." He stared at the evening sky. "Complete mystery."

Skyler stretched. "Translation: I do not want to talk about it because it might cause either Ruby or Neo to kill me with a fiery vengeance." Skyler held up his hand. "Or If I say it aloud, the whole of Remnant will want to lynch me."

Crimson pointed at Skyler in an affirmative manner. Neo looked at Ruby who looked back.

"Tonight we dangle him out the window."

Neo nodded.

The sun sank below the horizon, casting Beacon into semi-darkness. Curfew had already fallen and the students were in their dorms.

"So…this was quite the day." Yang said, sitting on the top bunk of her bed. Ebon was sitting beside her, staring worriedly at the bottom bunk where Weiss lay sleeping. Yang noticed.

"It wasn't your fault, Ebon."

Ebon's forehead furrowed. "I know, but I still feel like I'm to blam- "

"NO!" Yang interrupted. "It's not your fault! At all!" Yang looked over at her and said in a softer voice.

"We saved her. You saved her."

Weiss's voice sounded from below. "Actually, I think the leader of Team RSNC saved me…what is her name again? Ruby Rose?"

At the mention of that name. Yang stiffened. For years she hadn't uttered that name, but ever since she came to Beacon?

Ebon turned to Yang, her mouth set in a frown.

"That's another thing, Yang. How? How is she alive? You told me she was killed by the Grimm after she ran awa-."

"Please stop!" Yang looked away from her teammates, out the window. "I…I don't know. Okay?"

Ebon looked at Yang, but didn't say anything else. Silence invaded the dormitory as the darkness deepened. Finally, it was broken when Ebon hopped down from the bed and flicked the light switch. She blinked as her eyes adjusted to the light and noticed something amiss in the room.

"Hey guys, where's Blake, have you see her?"

Weiss shrugged from where she lay on the bed and winced at the movement. "Ow…no, I haven't. I haven't seen her since I got out of the infirmary."

Yang looked back over at her team leader. "I saw her go off to the cliff where we were initiated, she seemed like she was in a hurry."

Ebon looked out the window then shook her head. "Blake can handle herself, I'm sure it's fine." She clapped her hands.

"OK, let's get to bed before Goodwitch finds our lights on."

"A little too late for that." Glynda Goodwitch's voice came from the doorway.

Ebon slowly turned around to face the stern, green-eyed instructor. "Hi, Professor!"

"Mmm." Goodwitch looked the dorm over. "I see Ms. Belladonna has not returned." Green-eyes met black. "I'll see her in my office tomorrow and make sure you are all in your dorm by curfew." She walked out and closed the door. Her footsteps moving on down the hall.

"Well, she's a bit unforgiving." Yang said.

Ebon opened her mouth to reply but shouting down the hall made her stop. It was Prof. Goodwitch.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?! PULL HIM UP THIS INSTANT!"

The voice of what Ebon assumed to be Ruby Rose answered the shouts.

"OK! OK! Hold on! Sheesh, we weren't going to drop him!"

"PULL HIM UP!"

Another voice answered this time, a well-cultured voice with a slight accent of the north.

"Oh yes, pull him up. What a horrible thing to dangle Crimson out the window!" The educated voice also seemed to be on the verge of disabling laughter. A growl came from RSNC's dorm room and it took a minute for Ebon to realize that it was Goodwitch.

"You will all come to my office tomorrow morning!"

An offended voice that Team EBWY assumed to be the other male member, protested.

"What?! What did I do?! I was the one being dangled out the window!"

The door slamming was the professor's answer.

"LIGHTS OUT!"

Blake sat on the edge of the cliff, looking out over the top of Emerald forest, painted pale in the moonlight. She just sat there and stared, not worried about any stray Grimm that may be lurking, looking for a meal.

Was it really her?

A Ursa roared in the forest below, but the still figure didn't even twitch.

But that doesn't make sense! Why should she be here? How is she here?!

A wisp of smoke from the still dissolving corpses of the Nevermore and Deathstalker floated gently up into the open air.

But that face…

Blake shook her head, she needed to get back to the academy. She stood up and brushed the grass from her clothes. Walking back to the high towers that winked in the distance, a thought crossed Blake's mind. A very worrisome thought.

If that really is her, if that really is the girl who was in the alley that day. Blake took a deep breath.

Then Adam is not far behind.
