Chapter 9: Disappearance

A/N: Hey guys happy new year! Now I'm sure you're wondering where I've been and what's been going on. Truthfully I've been distracted. A lot. Too many games came out and I played a good majority of them so that's where all my free time went really. However, this project was always on the back of my mind. While either reading other stories and playing games I gained many ideas. Now not all of them are going to be used since they don't make sense or mix well with the current direction of the story. But I've kept you guys in suspense long enough so here we go!

Unknown location

"So you're sure this is him, Adam?" asked a black figure.

"I'm certain he's the one you're looking for." Adam insisted.

"Well he certainly does look like the one I'm looking for and you say he controls the power within him already?"

"I believe so."

"Hmmm interesting. Let's see if he matches my expectations." The figure said with a sinister smile. The figure made a move to leave.

"Where are you going?" Adam asked.

"I'm going to pick something up." The figure said still smiling before he vanished.

Vale Hospital

Will's eyes shot open he saw a orange sky with red leaves fluttering around him. 'Where am I? Why am I on the ground?' he wondered. He got up and realized something 'Either I'm really short or those trees are really tall' he thought as he stared at the trees. 'Wait something doesn't feel right.' He thought he looked around and saw a pillar of smoke rising from the west. 'That's not good!' Alarms rang in Will's head as he ran in the direction of the smoke. Soon he reached the source of the smoke. It was a city being invaded by… the Atlesian Army?! What the hell is going on?! Will's feet moved on their own as he moved toward the city. Will reached the city navigating through it like he's been there before. He headed toward the center of town stumbling over his now tired feet. Will knew he was looking for something but he didn't know what. Eventually he found himself in front of a large burning building. 'This looks familiar.' Will thought as he stepped inside. Inside the building there was a lone figure clad in silver. From what he could see through the fire Will deduced the figure was female. The female saw him and quickly approached him.

"What are you doing here?!" She asked outraged. Will couldn't answer, after all he didn't even know the reason why he came here. However, the building started to collapse sparing him of answering. The woman ran over to him, picked him up and fled the building. The pair didn't make it far as they were stopped by a dark figure.

"Where do you think you're going?" the figure asked.

"Away from here, you monster!" the woman said venomously. The figure just smiled before lunging at the pair.

"I'd like to see you try!"

Then Will woke up.

"God, I should invest in a dream catcher or something cause this is getting ridiculous." Will muttered to himself as he wiped the sweat off his face. He checked his surroundings. Why am I in the infirmary? Then he remembered the fact he got stabbed. Oh right that. Should be gone by now. He thought as he jumped off the bed. He removed the bandages to see the wound had completely healed. Well that's a waste of bandages. Was his only thought as he got out the bed. He looked around the room and found his set clothes. Well someone was nice enough to patch the hole. Will thought as he donned his usual attire. He then walked over to the window and jumped out.

Meanwhile with Team RWBY AND JNPR

Blake was looking through a book filled with memories of her time with the White Fang before Yang ripped her out of those thoughts.

"Whatcha doin?" The blonde asked.

"Nothing," Blake said as she closed the book, "just going over notes from last semester."

"Lame." Yang said as she caught a grape in her mouth and gives Nora a thumbs up. Ruby then heaves a huge binder onto the table. It read "Best Day Ever Activities" but above it was "Vytal Festival Activities Property of Weiss Schnee" which was crossed out by a red pen. Ruby cleared her throat before saying, "Sisters… Friends… Weiss"

"Hey!" The heiress shouted.

"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream"

"This ought to be good." Yang whispered to Blake before catching another grape.

"A dream that one day, the four of us would come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has had... ever!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss asked.

"I am not a crook." Ruby said making peace signs with both hands.

"What are you talking about?" Blake asked

"I'm talking about kicking this semester off with a bang!"

"I always start my semesters off with a Yang! Eh? Guys? Am I right?" Yang asked looking at her three teammates who were shaking their heads in disappointment. Then an apple hit Yang in the face courtesy of Nora.

"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today." Ruby continued.

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss said as Yang chucked the apple back at Nora.

"I don't know I might sit this one out." Blake said.

"Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team."

"I got it!" Nora shouted in the background as Weiss continued to say,

"I for one think that-" Weiss didn't get to finish her thought as a pie hit her in the face. Nora quickly sat back down and pointed at Ren who was face palming, Pyrrha had a hand over her mouth, Jaune sat wide eyed, and Jay sweatdropped while thinking 'yeah… I'm definitely sitting this out'.

Outside the Cafeteria with Sun talking to a blue haired boy

"Aw man that's harsh" Said the blue haired boy.

"I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome." Sun explained.
"Nice!"
"Right? And the best part is, she's a faunus." Then Sun realized he let out what was supposed to be a secret. "But that's a secret ok?" He quickly added.

"Got it."

"And not a 'I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret' I'm talking secret secret."

"Woah, chill out, man, I got it. I got it"

"You better," Sun said as Jaune crashed into the window, of course, the pair didn't notice him as they continued to talk.

"I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys." Sun added

"None taken." replied the blue haired boy

"They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool right?"

"Dude" The boy poses and his teeth shine.

"Good point." Was all Sun said. Then as he reached to open the door,

"Neptune?" A voice said behind them.

Sun and Neptune (the blue haired boy) turned around to be greeted by another boy. The boy was dressed in a black, tight, short sleeved shirt with red sleeves and a simple pair of blue jeans with a pair of ankle high combat boots on. He had an orange-ish hue to his hair, much like Nora's, and reddish eyes.

"Solace!" Neptune cried as the two hugged. "What are you doing here?"

"Me? I transferred here a few days ago and I was assigned to your team, SSSN."

"Oh, cool so we have five members now?" Sun asked.

"Yea I guess. So what are you two up to right now?"

"Well, I was about to introduce Neptune here to my friends and since we're team mates wanna tag along?"

"I see no harm in it, so why not?" Sol replied with that the three entered the cafeteria.

On a bullhead heading for Vale

Lance Armada, a sixteen year old student from Atlas Military Academy is now transferring to Beacon Academy. He was dressed in a white jacket with a blue tee shirt and blue jeans. He had gold hair with blue and white eyes. He sighs I asked to get transferred, then get transferred AND get put on delivery service. He thought as he looked at the crates next to him. I wonder what's even in those crates? He pondered these thoughts until he heard something hit the ship.

"What the-" was all he had time to say as the top of roof was torn open and a figure dropped down. Lance reached for his weapon, a spear, and got into stance.

"Who goes there?" He asked. All he could see was black and silver hair with red and silver eyes.

"Who? Me? I'm William, William Sapphires or, Will whatever you prefer. A pleasure to meet you." He said.

"Why are you here?" Lance asked.

"Well that's for me to know and you to find out." Will said as he drew his two blades. Dual wield? I will have to be careful. Lance thought. Will took first strike and swung at Lance. Lance dodges and stabs. Will tried to retaliate but due to the reach of the spear Will found himself at a disadvantageous position. Lance pushed his advantage by harassing Will with multiple stabs. Finally Will's back hit the wall. Got him Lance thought to himself as he was sitting out of the range of Will's swords.

"Now, I will ask again, Will, why are you here?"

Will smirked.

"I've come to reclaim what's rightfully mine." Was all he said before he reappeared behind Lance. What the- Lance thought as he brought up his spear to defend. Now Will had the advantage and was pushing Lance back. Will was relentless as he hacked and slashed with his two blades. Lance tried to get an attack in but Will wouldn't let him as every time he attempted to attack Will either appeared behind him or dodged and restarted his assault. Will moved in to deliver the final blow but, it never came, instead he disappeared and reappeared next to one of the crates. Will quickly grabbed one a that looked like a weapon case and jumped out through the hole he came from. Lance gave chase but when he got outside he couldn't find Will anywhere.

"That's not gonna look good on my report." Lance sighed.

Back with RWBY(after a massive food fight)

"That. Was. AWESOME!" Ruby shouted as she and her team were walking down the hallway.

"I was surprised we didn't get in trouble." Weiss said.
"It's not like the cafeteria exploded or anything." Yang commented.

"But we did make quite the mess." Blake pointed out.

"But like Weiss said we didn't get in trouble." Ruby said gleefully.

"Hey girls!" A voice called out behind them. They turn around to find Jay behind them out of breath.

"Will's gone missing!"

"WHAT?!" Team RWBY cried simultaneously.

Haha sorry to end it there but gotta get ready to write the next chapter this one has gone long enough… hopefully. Anyways yeah I cut out the food fight mainly because it's the same as it was in the show so I felt no need to write it out and none of the OCs took part in it. Now, originally, I did plan to include Will in the food fight but I couldn't think of a way to include him in a way that was satisfying. Besides I like the way this came out. Also I would like to know would you guys prefer me to stick more closely to the canon? Or do you like it when I go off a bit. Let me know in the reviews so I know what you guys are thinking besides "YOU'RE LATE" Ha just kidding. I don't think you guys would do that. Keep in mind that many of the previous chapters as well as this one are subject to change. I might see stuff that later I would want to change or that you guys tell me what's wrong with what's currently here. With that I'll see you guys next time.
