Jaune, Anakin, and Pyrrha are on the roof as Jaune looks out at the veiw.

"Guys, I know I'm going through a hard time right now, but I'm not that depressed." He states as he looks over the edge of the roof, to the confusion of Pyrrha and Anakin. "I can always be a farmer or something..." At this realization hits the two with horror.

"N-n-no!" Pyrrha shouts as she dashes to push Jaune away from the edge. "That's not why we brought you up here! Well at least not why I did. Was that your intent Anakin?" Anakin looks at her in disbelief.

Shaking his head Anakin turns to Jaune. "Jaune, I know you're having a difficult time in class and that you're still not the strongest of fighters, so... I want to help you with your sword play." Anakin explains.

"And I can help with the more academic side of things, and your Aura." Pyrrha adds

"Wh-what?"

"We can train up here after class where no one can bother us!" Pyrrha suggests.

"You think I need help?" He says in a hurt tone.

"Yeah, you need help with all of those. You got leadership, but you need some help with your fighting." Anakin says bluntly.

"Oh" Jaune says sulking.

"Jaune, everybody needs a little push from time to time." Pyrrha reasons. "It doesn't make you any different from the rest of us. You made it to Beacon! That speaks volumes of what you're capable of!"

"Yeah, I mean look at me. I'm struggling with the academic stuff..." Anakin says before turning to Pyrrha. "... by the way if you could help me too Id be grateful." He adds with a bow earning a giggle from her.

Jaune turns away from the two, lowering his head and voice. "You're wrong. I-I don't belong here."

"That's a terrible thing to say! Of course you do!" Pyrrha declares

Jaune turns back around, now angry "No, I don't!" He yells. He then sighs as Pyrrha looks bewildered while Anakin puts his hand up stopping him as he had just started sensing the uninvited guest listening in on the conversation. His senses were acting up again. This was starting to aggravate him.

The two look to Anakin in confusion as he walks over to the edge and turns back to them. Anakin then pulls a bewildered Cardin from his hiding place using the Force. Holding him with the force Anakin then flings him onto the roof with them. When he gets up he looks to the three of us giving him glares as he just chuckles nervously.

"Hey, Pyrrha?" Anakin asks getting a 'hmm.' In return "You think the headmaster would notice if someone disappeared?" Anakin asks sarcastically...

...but Cardin doesn't know that.

"No, at least not racist scum like him." She replies catching on. Jaune doesn't seem to be catching on as he backs away slowly from his two friends chuckling nervously. "But then again, should we really lower ourselves to his level?" She asks.

Anakin gives out a sigh before responding. "Your right." After that Anakin used the Force to knock him out. After that turned to Jaune.

"Jaune, look." Anakin sighs. "Just because you don't feel like you belong doesn't mean that you don't. Your have the heart of a leader in you. However... you need to understand when to ask for help."

"But I don't want help!" He yells. "My father, my grand father, and his father before him were all worriers!"

"Jaune..." Pyrrha starts before being interrupted.

"I'm tired of being the lovable idiot!" He declares. "I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero, but even then I just lied to become one!" At this Anakin and Pyrrha stared at their friend in shock. The two shared a confused look as Jaune went on. "I didn't really get accepted into Beacon, I didn't go to combat school... I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied." At this Anakin felt anger slowly rising from Jaune lying, but he held it back. If Anakin thought about it Ozpin probably already knew, but let him in anyway.

"Oh..." Pyrrha said dejectedly looking to the ground.

"Well... it doesn't matter. I'll still help." Anakin says with a serious look. Anakin couldn't help but think of Ahsoka In the first few months of her training under him.

"What?" Pyrrha and Jaune asked in synchronization.

"Listen Jaune." Anakin starts. "If you want to be a hero then you have to understand that heroes always need help when they are just starting off."

"Oh..." He sighs. Anakin could see the gears turning in his mind. "Your right." Jaune admits. "Im sorry for yelling at you." Anakin smirks. He wasn't going to tell Jaune or Pyrrha about the slight Force persuasion he used. Jaune thinks for a minute before looking to his friends again. "If you guys are still willing, I'd like to your help."

Anakin looks to Pyrrha and she gives small smile and a nod so Anakin looks back at Jaune with a grin. "Well, lets get started."

Most of Team SCRL was sitting in the cafeteria with team JNPR and RWBY. Lilly hadn't got there yet, but Crimson was sitting between Ren and Anakin while Rex was on the other side of the table next to Blake. They were mainly just laughing and having a good time. Jaune had become much happier after Pyrrha and Anakin hat talked to him the day before, and agreed to help him. Tomorrow they were going on a trip to Forever Fall forest.

"-and then I said 'now that's a katana'." Nora joked. Everyone laughed. Once it died down Crimson began thinking about back home. Unfortunately his thought turned to when that Grimm destroyed it.

"You okay?" Ren asks pulling him from his thoughts.

"Yeah..." He started. "Just thinking about home." He says with a somber tone.

"Well where are you from?" Pyrrha asks likely hoping to cheer me up.

"A village in Anima called Kuroyuri..." Crimson answers. He notices Ren and Nora stiffen at that name. The mood went down fast.

"You were there too?" Ren starts. "When it came?"

"Yes."

Nora and Ren exchange looks of sympathy before looking to him.

"How did you escape?" Nora blurts out earning a glare from Ren. "Sorry, you don't have to answer."

Crimson thought for a moment before speaking. "It's fine. I'll tell you, if you tell me how you and Ren escaped." Ren looks to Nora and they silently agreed by giving him a nod.

"I was was being carried down the street by my dad. Running from the Grimm destroying our home. My father was leading me to the exit with his sword in hand however a enlightened Grimm hand slammed him to the ground. I remember him looking up at me shoving his sword over to me."

"'RUN!!!!' He said"

"At his words I grabbed his sword and ran. It was a one handed short sword dawning a bronze blade and red hilt. I got to the gates only to see a Beowolf. I charged while it was distracted with the body of a town guard. I stabbed it as it roared in pain, and it fell its body began disintegrating. That's when I heard it the beast that claimed my father, my mother, and my home. Out of anger I unlocked my semblance that day."

"The body of the town guard stood up alongside the Beowolf I killed which stopped disintegrating. They both stood before me fending off the Monster as I continued to run. Funny isn't it? The death of my father and mother drove me to unlock my semblance. A semblance to control the body's of the dead like puppets. Guess that makes me a Puppet Master."

After his story everyone was silent at the table for a bit until Jaune broke the silence with a question. "Is that why that Deathstalker helped us back during initiation?"

"Yup," Crimson starts. "My semblance has the ability to control anything dead, though it's much easier when I'm the one who killed them. One thing I learned is that if I use it quick enough on a person when they die, they will be able to live for a few more seconds. Like there soul stays a little longer allowing a chance to give a few extra final word's. Ultimately though my ability will never bring the dead back completely."

After telling them about his semblance, Lilly finally got to the table taking a seat next to Rex a big smile on her face.

"Oh hey Lil, finally joining your boyfriend I see." Yang teases earning flustered glares from Rex and Lilly. To which she gives a wink.

Anakin ponders Yangs statement. Now that I think about it has either one made a move yet? It's obvious they like each other. Then again something dose seem to be holding Rex back. He talks in his sleep, talking about brother's, some set of numbers, and two people named Fives and Echo. Every time he has those nightmares they all lead to one name...

Vader.

If he can get passed that I'm sure Lilly will jump into his arms in a heartbeat... literally and figuratively. I mean she helps him with his studies and homework. She always claims she's just being friendly, but I know different. I've seen people that love someone, experienced it, but unfortunately I lost my love it's how I found out about giving final words to the dead. Maybe I can do something to help them find there's before something bad happens.

After Yangs tease towards Rex about Lilly everyone went back to laughing, talking, and making jokes. After a bit Weiss mentioned that Vale was setting up for the Vytal Festival.

"Yup and we're heading down to Vale to see the city prepare." Ruby says cheerfully. This sounded like a good excuse to see more of Vale in Anakins mind. The team has been there twice but that's been it so far. They haven't really had an excuse to go there for a bit.

"Hey Ruby do you mind if me and my team tagged along with you?" Anakin asks.

"Not at all!" She cheers. "It would be awesome, right team?" She asks as she looks to her team.

"I suppose it could be fun." Ice Queen says with a smirk.

"Yeah, It would be awesome!" Yang exclaims slamming her fist into her hand excitedly.

"It would be lovely." Blake says with a soft smile.

Anakin then looks to his team. "What about you guy's? You in?" He asks with a smirk.

"Only if she wants to go." Rex says turning to Lilly with a hopeful look. Rex just tell her already man.

"Of course!" She starts excitedly. "We've been in Beacon for a while now and we've only gone to Vale twice." She finishes with more excitement.

"Well I'm not going." Everyone looks to Crimson when he says that. "Don't worry about me, go have some fun."

Well I guess tomorrow has been figured out. Anakin thought.
