Since no one has commented about anything, I'll assume that no one cares whether I include Neo or not. Also I've made a few changes to previous chapters to better fit what I want to convey.

Words'- thoughts

"Words"- talking

Some more words- still part of the story

More words- not part of the story

Start

Beryl was not good at dancing, nor was he good at dressing up. He was also not adequate at being the center of attention.

Beryl had decided that he should be productive and keep in shape by doing a thirty minute upper body session at the gym and run through the campus for an hour.

During his run he had felt someone sneak across behind him, but he just kept running. Beryl had however kept his pocket knife at the ready for the rest of his run.

Finishing at their room, Beryl took a shower and changed. The rest of the team had conveniently had gotten back after he was done changing.

"Beryl, where were you?"

Ironically it had been Jade who asked the question.

"The Gym."

"We have a Gym?!"

"Yes."

With that Beryl hopped into bed and fell asleep.

The next day

Beryl woke up feeling refreshed, and ready to start this day.

Then he remembered that field trips were today, and that had slightly soured his mood.

Then RWBY had picked a job "too dangerous for one first year team". This was rectified by making it two first year teams. Namely Team CRCL. His mood soured further.

Then he realized that Blake was a faunas and Team RWBY hated Cardin. This realization came to him from the constant bickering of his team mates and RWBY. His mood was souring fast.

Then it was revealed that Dr. Oobleck was the huntsman for the mission. He was actually okay with this, the man was a qualified hunter and doctor.

He hadn't payed much attention on the Bullhead, opting to sleep instead.

"Hey, sleeping beauty, we're here."

And now he was not asleep because of Yang.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, you still may be students as of this moment your first mission as professionals has begun. From this point forward you need to do exactly as I say. Do you understand?"

A collective nod was his answer.

A thump was heard from Ruby's bag.

"Ruby! I thought I told you to leave all your bags back at school."

"But you hadn't told us to listen to you then so I didn't listen."

Actually contemplating that response, Oobleck replied.

"She's not wrong."

"Very well Ruby, leave your bag here, we can pick it up upon our return."

"But-"

"Young lady what in the world could you possibly have in that bag that could be so important for you to bring it with-"

bark*

"we're here to investigate an abandoned urban jungle teeming with death and hostility and you brought, a dog?"

"I-uh"

"GENIUS."

"canines are historically known for their perceptive nose and heightened sense of sound, making them excellent companions for hunts such as ours!"

"I'm a genius."

This garnered six face palms from the group.

"So what are your orders doctor."

"Ah, yes, straight to the chase, i like it. As you've been informed, The Southeast area has been marked as a recent hotspot for Grimm activity. Now there are several possible explanations for this behavior. One of which being, Grimm."

"Uhh, what?"

"Grimm, a creature of Grimm approximately 100 yards from us at this very moment."

"What?!"

"At that they readied themselves."

"Stop."

"Huh?"

"There are a number of reasons why Grimm would congregate in this specific area, most likely of which would be attraction to negativity. Sadness, envy, loneliness, hatred. All Qualities that are likely held by our group harboring ill intent."

"So. What now?"

"We track. If the specimen leads us to its pack, that pack may subsequently lead us to our prey."

"How long do we wait?"

"It's uncertain. Hours, days, weeks, why lone Grimm have been known to stand isolated from their pack for months- and there's the whole pack."

"What!"

"And now they've seen us."

"What!?"

"AND NOW THEY'VE SEEN US."

"I take it tracking is out of the question?"

"An accurate assumption, yes."

"What's the plan then?"

"Show me what you're capable of."

"Cover your ears Zwei."

The following Grimm killings were at most, exhausting, if not boring to the students. The students went around as directed by Oobleck, while he himself examined the surroundings.

Oobleck had also asked Weiss, Blake, and Yang as to why they became a huntress. He never asked his team, which Beryl found strange, although he chalked it up to saving it for tomorrow.

Beryl also found it strange that Ruby was teasing Zwei with a roasted chicken.

'Where did she get the chicken...'

"Oh! Sorry.. are we ready to keep going?"

Oobleck seemingly had an internal debate.

"No, I believe that will have to do for today. It's going to be dark soon. You seven set up camp in that building and make sure there are no more... creatures. Your leader and I are going to secure the perimeter, come Ruby."

Our group of seven had quickly set up camp on the building. We also had a fire going.

"I can't believe we didn't find anything."

This had our team curious. Our leader especially so.

"Find what? It's been hinted by you guys all day of a mystery evil organization residing here. Who?"

"The White Fang."

"We've always been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. I guess we just can't always have luck on our side."

"That's not what I meant."

"Earlier, about upholding the legacy."

Beryl had zoned out for the rest of the discussion and fell asleep rather quickly.

Later in the night

He awoke to the corgi barking, unhappily.

He and the group quickly followed it to a giant hole in the street, where Ruby's scythe was..

He ignored most of the conversation but was brought out of examining the whole when Oobleck shouted underground crime network loudly.

They jumped down and encountered White Fang soldiers, dispatching them with ease.

All the sudden the train started.

"We gotta stop that train!"

But beryl was already ahead of them, shoving the caboose off the rails alone.

The rest of the group quickly recovered from the momentary shock of inhuman strength. They all boarded the train as it picked up speed.

"We must get to the front and stop this train!"

"Uh Professor?"

"Doctor.."

"What's that?"

"That my dear, appears to be a bomb."

All of them flinched at the diagnosis.

"We got baddies!"

"Well I didn't expect them to go-"

The bomb activated.

"-easy on us.. Time to go! Blake, detach the caboose, it will kill us all!"

"On it!"

Blake jumped down only to find it decoupled.

"It decoupled itself! He really doesn't want us on this train!"

"That's not good."

"Neither is this."

"Another bomb?"

Suddenly a realization came to Oobleck.

"No no no... They all have bombs!"

"Get the humans!"

Throwing his jacket aside, Beryl revealed his muscular physique and his white T shirt, and launched forward, defeating many White Fang grunts in his path.

Oobleck looked back and had another realization.

"He's leading Grimm to the city! It's the cars! They detach and explode creating openings for the Grimm!"

"We have to hurry!" You seven, go below and stop those bombs."

"What about us?"

"Where going to stop this train!"

"I know, I said that earlier."

Team CRCL and WBY dropped down into the car.

"Here, this should help you."

Weiss handed Blake a dust cartridge.

As they ran forward, their path was blocked by a girl who's color theme was Neapolitan, oddly enough, Beryl approved the theme.

"You keep going ahead, this one's mine."

The remaining six ran ahead and the Ice cream girl dodged a shot from Yang, she also dodged swipe from Beryl, behind her.

"Well alright Beryl, if you want to ignore me you could've said so."

"Dangerous."

Something akin to respect formed in the woman's eyes at the assessment.

"Well I want first fight."

"Go ahead."

After Yang gets her ass kicked

Neo turned to face her next opponent to find him mid swing and flipped out of the way.

Neo flipped over his strikes consistently, and retaliating with a jab of her umbrella which was batted aside.

But Beryl was relentless, keeping her dodging, or at least not attacking.

Knowing Yang was behind him, he couldn't afford to take any risks.

He settled in a basic stance for a pugilist. His arms at his side in front of him, and hands were in fists. Neo noted that there was a change in the air, although she couldn't identify what it was.

Suddenly Beryl vanished, and Neo felt a rush of air behind her, and left an illusion behind.

Realizing it had been an illusion only after it broke to his fist.

She recovered quickly and decided to kill him because she was taking longer than she was confident Roman could hold out against the students.

Beryl coughed up blood as he was Impaled through the lower chest.

After she Impaled Beryl, she felt a hand firmly grasp hers, which was weird. Neo turned to look, only to the sight of ominous glowing green eyes and a vicious right hook.

She tried to jump away, but was anchored by his left hand. Her short stature gave him more leverage and the brutal strike landed on her face and knocked her out.

He let her go and pulled out the sword from his abdomin, grunting as he did so.

He then picked up Yang in a fireman carry and advanced to the next car where Weiss and Jade were.

Upon entering their view she recoiled.

"For Oum sakes, Beryl you're bleeding!"

"Dust. Fire."

She promptly put the crystal in his bloodied hand. He then did something she winced at.

He channeled aura through the dust and cauterized his own wound.

Yang regained consciousness.

"Thanks Beryl."

"Let's go."

The two teams regrouped and Weiss formed an ice shell seconds before impact.

Beryl awoke to a siren and worried looks. The Grimm had broken through, and he hadn't been strong enough to stop it. He knew this was no time to hide.

"Everyone. Up."

Suddenly he started to blur and Grimm started to die rapidly, with multiple punctures, each the size of a car.

RWBY had eyes on him and thought.

'Is this his semblance?'

AN:

Sorry this took a while to make, I was doing a lot, such as nothing.

I'm positively happy to announce that no one has guessed his semblance yet.

Comments are love or something.
