A/N: The official first day of school. If will be a little- okay, a lot different from how it was in the show. But it will still be good, I promise. Somewhat... You know not to judge me. I do not own RWBY. If I did, Pyrrha would've lived.

It was a dark and stormy night. Young Natalie was standing in the middle of dissipating Grimm corpses. Her left shoulder and right thigh were covered in cloths, stopping the bleeding. She was using her brother's weapon in its bow form as a support. She heard footsteps and looked up to see some Huntsmen arriving.

'They decide... To show up now?!' she demanded, her eyes having a feral look. Blinded by rage, Natalie charged at the group at inhuman speed. She changed the weapon to its sword form and managed to cut one of the Huntsmen, literally. The wolf faunus hid back in the shadows.

"What the-?! What was that?!" his ally asked.

"A Grimm?!" another asked.

"But that can't be! It broke through my aura!" the injured Hunter said.

Natalie didn't give them time to completely take in what had just happened as she once again charged at the group, injuring a different Hunter. This went on for a while. None of them were able to see where she was or where she will attack form. Just when she was about to cut one of their heads off, Natalie was suddenly tossed back to a tree. She quickly shook off the pain and looked up in time to, not only see the Huntsmen looking at her, but also to see Glynda pointing her crop at her from a distance. Irritated that she was stopped by one of the people who practically allowed her people to die, Natalie ran straight for her, her sword ready for the kill.

"Professor Glynda!" a huntress shouted.

Just before Natalie could stab the sword in the older woman, she was suddenly pushed away from her. But that didn't seem to matter, as Natalie stood right back up and continued to charge at her like a wild animal. Like the first time, however, Glynda was able to see through her tactics and knocked her into a tree again. Unlike the last two times, though, Glynda knocked her into a tree head-first, hard, therefore knocking her out, mostly. Natalie just had enough energy to at least look up at her, before the darkness took her.

The first thing Natalie saw when she woke wasn't her sister staring down at her, nor was it her brother getting ready to either go on a mission or train. Instead, she found herself restrained to a bed in a white room. Natalie didn't like the position she was in, and who could blame her? She struggled to get herself out of the binds.

She heard the sound of an open door and stopped to see a doctor walking in. Her eyes widened as she continued to try to free herself from her binds.

"Stop! Calm yourself!" the doctor shouted. Natalie refused to listen and continued to struggle through the restraints. "Please, I promise you, I'm not here to hurt you!" Natalie still refused to listen to reason and continued to struggle. The doctor walked closer, attempting to use action to calm her. Just when he placed a hand on her shoulder, however, Natalie viciously bit his arm, and like a wolf would, she tore off some of the skin.

The doctor screamed in pain from the bite and held on to his bleeding arm. He looked at the wolf faunus before him and saw her glaring and snarling at him. He went to a speaker phone by the door and shouted, "I need all the nurses in here! Stat!" A nurse or two arrived into the room.

"Is there a problem doctor?" one asked.

"I want you and all the nurse to try and calm her down. Use any methods possible," he ordered.

"Yes, doctor!" both replied.

"And one of you alert the headmaster."

One of the two nurse ran out of the room. Before the doctor left, he turned to Natalie and saw her violently slamming herself onto the bed.

'God bless us she hasn't found her semblance yet,' he thought. 'If it was regeneration, it would be chaotic.' He went to treat his arm.

Hours seemed to have passed and the nurses were still struggling to calm Natalie. They had resorted to calling some Huntsmen over to at least knock her out, but like them, they had failed in doing so. In return, they got either bite marks or some flesh ripped out. And to make things even weirder, the Huntsmen's aura couldn't heal their injuries. Ripped flesh aside, the aura should've been able to heal the bite mark, yet it seemed as though they never had their aura unlocked at all.

The door opened and Ozpin walked in, a mug of coffee in his hand. "I see our guest is awake," he spoke. Everyone ceased their action, save for Natalie. Ozpin walked closer to her. His students and the nurses all wondered what he would do to stop her struggling.

"I know your brother, Nathan Palmer," he simply said. And just like that, Natalie stopped struggling and looked up at him. Many looked at each other, either wondering who Nathan was or if she really was his sister.

The feral look in her eyes was starting to leave. "You're Ozpin?" she asked.

"I am."

*RING RING RING RING RING*

Natalie hit her alarm clock and smashed it into a wall, destroying it. She got out of bed, reluctantly preparing herself for class. She got her schedule from Ozpin late last night as well as her uniform. Unlike most girls, her uniform was for guys. Since she didn't want anyone to know her true identity, Ozpin made some arrangements to keep her identity a secret.

After changing into her uniform, along with putting on her hood and mask, she made her way to Peter Port's class. Along the way, she passed some students, all giving her nervous looks.

'Good. I see my message came through,' she thought. Just when she was about to enter Professor Port's class, four guys got in her way. She knew them to be Team CRDL.

"So you think you're the big shot, don't you?" asked Cardin.

"You better get out of the way," she warned, her voice changer active.

"Or what? You'll kill me? All of that was no doubt a bluff." Just when Cardin was about to put a hand on her, Natalie grabbed it and broke a finger. "ARGH! LET GO! LET GO! LET GO!"

"Hey! Hands off!" Russel shouted. He went for a punch, in which Natalie leaned back to avoid. She grabbed his arm with her free hand and tossed him to Dove and Sky. Natalie then jumped over Cardin and pushed him to the floor.

"Let me give you a warning, Cardin Winchester. Cause a problem to any other students and you will find yourself out of Beacon in the blink of an eye. And I'm not talking about expulsion," she warned. Natalie released Cardin and walked right to class.

Time later, all the first-years arrived in class, Teams RWBY and JNPR being the last group to arrive.

"Monsters, demons, prowlers of the night," Port began. "Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" He saw no one laughing at his intended joke. "Uhhhh... And you shall too! Upon graduating from this prestigious academy! 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 that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses~" He winked at Yang, which she groaned in disgust at. A pencil was suddenly flicked passed his head. He turned and saw the pencil point sticking onto the blackboard, then to the culprit.

"No flirting with students, Port," Natalie said.

"Ah hehe... Right. Thanks for the warning. Anyway, we are individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From what, you ask? Why the very world!" Port continued. One student seemed to agree with him. "That is what you are training to become. But first, a story. A tale of a handsome, young man... Me! When I was a boy..."

Natalie knew that once Port starts talking about his experience, he wouldn't stop. That and he told the same stories every year and in the same order. She blocked out his story-telling and instead analyzed the students in the class.

'Pyrrha Nikos. Also known as the Invincible Girl. Said to be unbeatable. But I know the secret to her victory. She's nothing but a cheat, using her semblance to make her opponent's weapons and bullets unable to touch her. Her fighting style matches a pro swordswoman. Weapons are Milo and Akouo. The shield aside, her sword changes into a javelin and a rifle.'

She heard Port cleared his throat and looked to see he was gaining attention of Team RWBY, most who seemed to be laughing at something before he noticed them.

"In the end, the Beowulf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero! 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. So who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?"

"I do, sir!" Weiss immediately shouted as she raised her hand. Natalie heard anger in her tone and already didn't like where the fight would be going.

"Well then, let's find out!" Port gestured to a caged Grimm on one side of the room. "Step forward, and face your opponent!"

After Weiss had changed into her combat clothes, her rapier, Myrtenaster, in hand, she was standing across the room, prepared to face the Grimm.

"Go Weiss!" Yang cheered.

"Fight well!" Blake followed, waving a small flag with their team's name on it.

"Yeah! Represent Team RWBY!" Ruby followed.

"Ruby! I'm trying to focus!" the heiress glared.

As Natalie had predicted, she didn't like where this is going. Not one bit.

"Alright!" Port spoke, raising his weapon. "Let the match, begin!" He broke the cage's lock, releasing a boar-like Grimm, the Boarbatusk.

The Boarbatusk charged at Weiss the second it was released. The heiress deflected the attack and rolled to the side. She readied herself for its next move, as the Grimm seemed to be studying her own moves.

"Haha! Wasn't expecting that, were you?" Port laughed off.

"Hang in there, Weiss!" Ruby shouted.

Weiss charged at the Boarbatusk, rapier first. Unfortunately for her, Myrtenaster got trapped in its tusks.

"Bold, new approach! I like it!" Port complimented.

'More like a stupid approach,' Natalie thought.

"Come on, Weiss! Show it who's boss!" Ruby cheered.

Weiss glared at Ruby, giving her opponent the chance to rip her weapon out of her grip. Myrtenaster landed far away from its master, who was knocked away by the Grimm's tusks.

"Oh ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?" Port questioned.

Weiss looked back up in time to see the Boarbatusk charging at her once more. She dodge-rolled out of the way and rushed to her rapier.

Just as she retrieved her weapon, Ruby shouted, "Weiss! Go for its belly! There's no armor underneath!"

"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss shouted back.

Natalie narrowed her eyes at her reply and saw the Boarbatusk rolling into a ball, gaining speed until it launched itself to the unexpected Weiss. Natalie leapt from her seat down to the field and held a fist out at the Grimm. It struck her fist, but rather than Natalie, it was the one who was sent away instead.

"Leaving yourself open for something so little? I guess it's to be expected from a heiress," she spoke.

"What the-?! You!" Weiss turned to see Natalie in between her and her opponent. "What do you think you're-?!"

Natalie grabbed her neck. "Make a big deal our of something so little, and it will cost you your life. Sound familiar?"

Ruby looked to the side and saw the Boarbatusk getting up and doing its rolling thing again. "Look out!" she warned.

It sped over to the two, when Natalie held out her left, free hand. It once again collided with her hand, only this time, it was slowing down to a complete stop. Upon its stop, the boar-like Grimm was struggling to get out of her grip. All the students looked on in shock at the sight before them.

Natalie took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of everything around her. "You think it's unfair, don't you? You, the heiress, who worked so hard to get something you desire. And all of that was for nothing when your team leader came in."

Weiss and her teammates' eyes widened in shock at the revelation. "H-How do you know?!" the heiress asked.

"I smell it all over you, spoiled brat. Where you were living before arriving here is the life of a spoiled, little, rich kid. This? This is reality. You want something? You gotta earn it." As she said that, her grip on the Boarbatusk's head tightened. Cracks were being heard across the room, as the Grimm squealed and struggled even more to get out of her grip. "It doesn't matter how long you trained, what does matter, is the results. Of what I've seen, Ruby Rose is more capable of being a team leader. More than you'll ever be." The Grimm's head was crushed completely. The body fell on its side and started to dissipate.

"Bravo! Bravo!" Port spoke, completely ignoring the situation Weiss was currently in. "It appears we are indeed in the presence of a pair of true Huntresses-in-training!" At the sound of the bell, Natalie released her hold on Weiss and walked away. "I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and... stay vigilant!" Natalie turned to Port, not amused with his joke. "Ah... Ahem. Class dismissed!" She continued to walk away.

Weiss, on the other hand, stayed where she was on the floor, rubbing her neck. Her teammates ran to her side.

"Weiss! Are you okay?!" Yang asked.

"Weiss, what Nathan said, was it true?" Ruby asked.

"And what does it matter to you if it does?!" she snapped at her. "You're suppose to be a leader, and so far, all you are is a nuisance!"

"Weiss, whatever I did wrong, I can change. Really."

"I highly doubt it! What does that guy see in you that's worth leader material?!"

"Hey! Don't talk to my sister like that!" Yang shouted.

"Well, it's true! Back in the forest, she acted like a kid and only continues to do so!"

"Have you forgotten what else happened in the forest, Weiss?" Blake asked. "Back when we were fighting against the Nevermore? Who was it that had a plan on how to defeat it while the rest of us were struggling on fighting it off? If anything, that's probably the reason why Ozpin made her the leader." She got up from her spot. "You know, maybe Nathan is right. You're nothing but a spoiled brat." She walked out of class.

"Wha-?! How dare she?!"

"She actually had a point. Ruby was the one who thought of that plan. Like Nathan said, you need to open your eyes to reality," Yang said. She followed Blake out.

"Yang, you can't mean that!" her sister shouted. She then sighed as she looked back down on Weiss. The young girl then reluctantly followed her sister and her partner out.

For the rest of the day, it was nothing but silence for Team RWBY. Weiss was thinking over what Natalie had said to her back in Professor Port's class and was actually considering her to be right. All her life, she had gotten everything she ever wanted, and that was because she was a heiress. But in Beacon, she was just Weiss Schnee. A Huntress-in-training like everyone else. Her title meant next to nothing there. Besides that, it was only the first day. And with first day is first appearance. And first appearances doesn't always describe a person. Weiss realized how her teammates had seen her as, and now it was her job to correct them, as well as actually getting to know her teammates.

As Weiss turned a corner, she heard the sound of an arrow being shot. Looking out a window, she saw Natalie shooting arrows at a target. And what's more is that on the bulls-eye, lots of arrows were on only one spot, the prior arrows cleaved in half by the loosed arrow. She saw Natalie shot another arrow and cleaved the one on the target in half with it.

"Whoa..." she said amazed. "And she didn't take the time to aim."

"Nathan is quite the Hunter, isn't he?" she heard. She looked and saw Ozpin looking down at the archer, his usual mug of coffee in hand.

"Professor Ozpin..."

"Nathan may be difficult at first, but once you get pass it, you'll find that he's not as difficult as he appears to be."

"Can you give me a better description on who he really is? Because of everything that happened so far, I've learned to not judge someone by their first appearance."

Ozpin looked down and saw that she was true to her words. "Of what I heard, Nathan was more open to people. A kind and sweet person, really. Someone who wouldn't threaten or hurt a fly."

Weiss looked at Ozpin like he grew a second head. "Are we talking about the same Nathan Palmer?"

"I never met the Nathan under the mask. Though I have met his brother. The best student I ever had. But then... Something terrible happened one night. And Nathan is as you see now."

Weiss looked down at Natalie, who was still shooting arrows at the bulls-eye. Or to be more specific, the prior arrow. What was once annoyance, irritation, and rage against her were now respect and sympathy.

"I'll talk to him after I make up with my teammates," she said. With that, she rushed to her dorm.

As soon as she was out of sight, Ozpin looked back down at Nathan, still shooting some arrows.

"I hope I'm doing this right..." he muttered. He heard his scroll ringing and answered it. The headmaster saw it was a text... from Natalie. He looked down and saw her looking up at him. If her hood was down, he could see that the look was a glare.

"Doing what? Have me turn back to the naive girl I was? You're a fool, Ozpin. I should've known better than to trust you. Just as my brother should've known better than to trust Adam. I'm a woman of my word, but consider this the end of our cooperation."

After he read the message, he looked back down and saw Natalie walking away.

"How did she know?"

With Weiss, she was by the door to her dorm. Despite what she had said, she wasn't sure how to make things up with her teammates.

"'Ruby, I apologize for what was revealed back in Professor Port's office,'" she practiced. "No, that won't work... 'Sorry for thinking that you're childish.' She kind of is childish though..." She rubbed her head. "That won't work either..." She heard her dorm door open and she was suddenly slammed into a hug by none other than Ruby Rose.

"Weiss! You actually did come here to apologize!" she shouted.

"What the-?! Get off! And who told you I was here to apologize!" she demanded.

"You mean you aren't?" Ruby asked as she ddi the puppy-dog eyes.

"What?! No! I mean, yes! I mean, I was going to! I mean..."

"No use lying, Weiss," Yang said. She and Blake were seen looking at her, the former grinning with a note in her hand. The heiress also saw their window broken and noticed an arrow right by the door.

She groaned in slight realization. "Don't tell me..."

"The guy has eyes and ears everywhere, Weiss. I don't think there's a point in hiding anything. Not when we know beforehand that you were planning on apologizing."

"I guess you're not as spoiled as I thought, if you were coming over here to apologize," Blake apologized in her own way.

Ruby and Weiss both got up on their feet. "Yeah. And Ruby, I'm really sorry about all that happened back in Professor Port's class."

"Ah, it's okay. Besides, I should've kept quiet in the first place. And I admit, I did act a little childish back in Emerald Forest. And I was being irresponsible this morning," Ruby apologized back.

"So truce?" Weiss held out her hand.

"Truce." Ruby accepted the handshake.

After that, the team's bond was better than it was at the start.
