(Hello people! Well I hope you enjoyed the last chapter, a little more back story on Eclipses character! Do no worry I will go into full detail in his past soon enough, but for now I will just be building up things between all the characters, and I hope you like the side RenXEclipse! Anyway, enjoy!)

(Team Rwby's POV)

Team Rwby had returned to their dorm room together, baffled by the performance they had just witnessed. None of they had seen such precise and damaging attacks, especially from someone that looked so young.

They sat in silence for a while, before Yang finally spoke "So…im not the only one who thinks that Eclipse is older and more skilled then he appears?" Blake frowned.

"Brilliant conclusion Miss Xiao Long" she gently smacked Yang's head and leaned back.

Ruby looked up at her team "Should we just ask him? I mean it's clear after that he didn't just go to a normal school before Beacon, he must have had some hardcore training" Weiss nodded and hugged her girlfriend close.

Ruby noticed that Weiss was rather quite the entire walk "Weiss is everything ok?" the pale girl looked at Ruby and smiled softly "Yes Ruby…everything is fine" Weiss replied, with a rather uncertain tone in her voice.

Blake turned on her side and glance at Weiss "Eclipse, he makes you nervous, but you won't say why?" Weiss sighed and nodded and started pacing in the room.

"When I finished killing my grimm...he seemed to target lock me for some reason, I mean does he see me as a threat?" Yang scoffed a little and stood up "I think you're blowing this out of proportion Weiss, maybe he was just criticizing your style?" Yang guessed.

Weiss glared at the blonde "What exactly is wrong with how I fight?!" Yang's eyes widen and opened he mouth to be cut off when Nora kicked the door in "Guys! Guess what Goodwitch just told me!" she yelled excitingly.

Ruby jumped off the bed "What?" she asked curiously as the rest of the team got around. "She wants you guys to join us on a hunt tomorrow, apparently there is a large amount of Beowolves, Ursai and Deathstaklers in an area near a town outside of Vale, and she wants us to go wipe them out!"

Yang grinned and turned to Nora "That's awesome! When are we heading out?" Nora went to speak but giggles softly "Um…I forgot..." Team Rwby sighed loud as the other members of JNPR walked in.

"We leave at 9:30 tomorrow, she expects us to be packed, armed, and at the airship by that time" Ren stated and Nora thanked him, their relationship had become much more as just friends ever since Ren came out and told them he like guys instead of girls.

It was a bit of a shock to everyone, they thought Nora was gonna be upset about the sudden news, but she reacted normally and respected him and gave him the space he wanted.

It was decided, they all would meet at the airship, both teams helped make sure that they had everything they needed, food, ammo, water, clothes, etc.

They all went to bed that night excited for the chance to clear out more grimm to help people.

(The next morning, 9:30 A.M. Ren's POV)

Ren sat at the airstrip waiting for the rest of his team and the others, he sighed and checked his scroll again before he noticed the other seven making their way toward him.

"It's about time, you all were suppose too be here 15 minutes ago" he said frustrated.

Weiss sighed "Sorry Ren, Ruby had to quadruple check to make sure we had everything" she looked at Ruby accusingly "Hey it is better to make sure then you get there and realize you forgot something!" she countered.

They argued back and forth as they all boarded the airship when Ren spotted a familiar face, short and pale, with a look of mystery and two deadly axes strung across his back, it was Eclipse.

Ren had to calm his heart rate before the man approached "W-What's up Eclipse?" Ren asked and cursed himself for stuttering.

Eclipse gave him a kind smile "I just wanted to wish you all luck on your mission…and if you need help" he grabbed Ren's hand, sending a shock through the taller man, and put a small remote like object in his hand "Press this button, and I'll be on an airship out if I have to steal one, got it?" he said.

Ren blushed and nodded "Right…thank you" Ren turned to get on "Oh and Ren!" Ren faced the man once again "Be careful" if might have been his imagination but he thought he had heard Eclipse's voice break just a little as he spoke those words. He nodded and hurried onto the airship as they begun to take off.

(Eclipse's POV)

After Team RWBY and Team JNPR had left I decided to head to the training room, thinking it would clear my head but how foolish of me.

I could not shake the feeling I had, that something was gonna happen during their mission, and whenever I had a feeling like this…I was right.

I sighed loud as he switched his axes to their revolver mode and switched to the firing range.

I one of the as fast as he could and fan-fired it into a mannequin, the impact taking large chucks off of the still target. I walked up and examined his kill, three shots in the torso the other three in the head.

"Very well done Eclipse."

I drew his loaded axe and aimed it in the direction of the voice, to see Ozpin standing in the doorway hands behind his back.

I sighed and rolled my eyes, reloading my empty axe "Do you not have anything better to do then follow me around Ozpin?" I asked not looking at him.

He walked up to me and looked at the ruined mannequin "So, Eclipse, I have a question for you, about your past, there are many of gray areas that I cannot seem to learn" he walks to the door and looks at me "Follow me".

We left the training room and went up to his office and sat down. He simply sat in silence staring at me, I frowned, this was getting awkward fast.

"Ok Ozpin, seriously, if you don't start talking and asking the questions you said you were gonna, I am going to lose my shit here" I stated simply.

That got him to grin and he chuckled "Very well, let's start small shall we? Where are your adoptive parents?" Ozpin asked.

I frowned and sighed "They are dead, they were slaughtered by a group of thugs when I was out of a mission, I still haven't found out who did it" I said in a grim voice.

He nodded "That is very tragic…Im sorry, why did you become an assassin Eclipse? Why kill people when they may not even deserve it?" he looked very serious, maybe even angry.

I chuckled darkly "Why do you train kids who will almost always end up dying a very painful death?"

He frowned at my counter question "These kids will help protect and preserve the future world from the Grimm, without them, no one has a future."

I sighed and sat back propping my feet on his desk "As to why…I honestly don't remember…I was trained by some of the best, they did cruel and inhumane forms of torture of me if I messed up…then they sent me on a mission to kill a higher up member of…" my eyes widen and I cursed myself.

He raised an eyebrow at me "Something you care to tell me?" I growled as I remembered why Weiss' last name sounded so familiar, I killed her mother.

"That white haired girl…Weiss…he last name is Schnee correct?" I ask, Ozpin nods "Ah yes, Weiss Schnee Heiress of the Schnee dust company, one of our finest students, why do you ask?"

I looked up at the ceiling, I closed my eyes before answering "I…my first ever mission…I was told to enter the Schnee Dust Company…I was to eliminate one of the heads of the company…" I didn't need to continue, I opened my eyes to see Ozpin rubbing the crook of his eyes and he sighed.

"Eclipse…you…you killed Weiss' mother?" he said in a very controlled voice.

I sat up planting my feet back on the floor before standing to walk away, I heard him get up as well and put his hand on my shoulder "You must tell her, you know that right?" I grunt and shrug off his hand.

"…Maybe." I say before heading toward the door, but I'm stopped but a loud ringing on my belt, my heart starts to race as I lift up my scroll, the alarm I gave Ren…

I turn fast to Ozpin "I need an airship, now!" I growl out, he looks at me confused and goes to say something, I cut him off.

"Team RWBY and Team JNPR are in grave danger, if we do not get out there now, they could all end up dead!" I shout, he nods and we head up to the airstrip and he orders a pilot to take me to the location of the two teams.

I load up on the airship and Ozpin yells at me "Bring those kids back Eclipse, and don't hide the truth!" he shouted as we took off.

I growled but nodded, I owe them, and I owe Weiss that much…she may even try to kill me, but she deserves to know.

"I'm on my way guys…just hold on…whatever is happening you all are strong, just hold on."

(Team RWBY and JNPR'S POV)

They arrived at their destination 20 minutes ago, there was supposed to be a bunch of Grimm in the area, but so far there had been nothing, no animals, no noise, nothing.

The eight team members walked through the forest, weapons at the ready, finally, Ruby broke the ever growing silence, and boy did she.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE GRIMM?!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Weiss slapped Ruby on the head "You dolt!" Ruby whimpered and pouted as she rubbed her head, Blake frowned "She is right though, there was supposed to be tons of Grimm in this area, that's what Goodwitch said right Nora?" she turned to the girl in question.

Nora nodded and looked around "Yea…and honestly it is beginning to worry me, could she have gotten wrong information?" she asked.

Jaune sighed and sheathed his sword "Guys I don't know about this, something seems…odd about this place, I don't know what it is."

Pyrrha scowled and looked all around the area that surrounded them, looking for any sign of movement. Then she spotted something, far in the distance it looked like a man, watching them, then she saw him run fast in the opposite direct.

"Everyone! That way I saw someone!" Pyrrha said and begun chasing after him, the others followed suit and they tried to find the mystery man.

Finally they all came into a clearly, the man standing just at the edge of the trees.

"Well…I can see your new friend isn't here to assist you now is he? Shame, he was the one who I really wanted to see" he spoke in a slow, menacing tone.

Ruby frowned "You mean Eclipse? Why would you know him?" the man then turned and smiles evilly at them.

"Why little red, I am the man who give him his targets, before he left and decided to join Ozpin's little group." He growled and pulled out two wicked daggers.

Weiss tilted her head, now curious "Targets, what do you mean?" he then looked at Weiss for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Well, out of all the people he could have befriended, it is almost in insult for one of them to be you, Weiss Schnee."

Weiss readied Myrtenaster, "What are you talking about?" the man began cleaning his nails with a dagger "Tell me, what do you know…about the death of your mother?" he asked.

That hit hard, Weiss staggered in her place as if she was slapped. "She was assassinated, that much you know, but your father told you it was the White fang yes? Well it wasn't, it was my group, we have no name, we don't need one." The man went on staring directly at Weiss.

"The man we sent that night…one of our finest soldiers…the best training we could provide…he truly is a master with his axes."

At that, the entire group froze, they couldn't believe what he said, but any doubt they had, was completely erased.

"Eclipse truly is the best, or was, he grew soft and I had thought about dispatching him myself, but he caught wind and bailed, so here we are. I bet you all feel betrayed don't you?" he laughed loud.

Weiss was looking at the ground, Yang was fuming with anger, Blake and Ruby looked at the man with disgust, Ren, Pyrrha and Jaune readied their weapons in case he decided to attack.

Then a loud, shrill scream broke everyone from their trance, Weiss was the first one to react, spawning glyph after glyph in front of her, gaining speed at the man her weapon raised toward his heart.

The others charged as well, but the man snapped his fingers and 12 masked men dropped out of the trees.

The fight was short, Yang and Ruby were the first to be knocked out, following Weiss and Blake, Ren was the last of Team JNPR.

Ren cursed himself, he looked at his fallen friends, the man walked toward him "Are you going to give up, or are you going to fight?" he asked.

He couldn't fight, whoever these people were, they were much stronger than anyone else they have faced.

Then Eclipse's word echoed through his head 'Press this button, and I'll be on an airship out if I have to steal one, got it?" Ren reached in his pocket and pressed the button on the remote Eclipse had given him.

Before he could do anything else, pain exploded in his head and back and he fell into unconsciousness.
