Team RWBY and SLAR were heading into the city to see the preparations of the Vytal Festival.
"Wow," said Seth, "this is very festive."
"I know," said Weiss, "there's going to be a dance, a tournament, the amount of planning into this is breath taking."
"Wow," said Yang, "You really know how to make something fun and make it boring."
"Shut up!" said Weiss.
"Man," said Red, "that tournament really reminds me of the Pokemon Tournaments back home."
"I know," said Alissa, "I think that our Pokemon would be able to compete in this tournament."
Team RWBY looked at Team SLAR and Ruby asked, "Your Pokemon have competed in tournaments before?"
"Yes," said Seth, "We usually have them once a year. We have our Pokemon battle until one contender is unable to battle. Not trying to brag or anything, but back home, I'm the undefeated raining Pokemon champion."
"Really?" asked Weiss, "So, who helped you win the tournament?"
Seth just pointed at Eva, who wagged her tail.
"Wait," said Yang, "Eva helped you win the tournament?"
"Yes," said Alissa, "Everyone just laughed at him for not evolving his Eevee, but he showed them that she is capable of taking care of herself. After Seth defeated the previous champion, he was added to the hall of fame, where all the new champions make their mark on history."
"Wow," said Blake, "How long have you been champion?"
Seth then said, "Well, enough about me, why are we at the docks?"
"Well, as a representative of Beacon," said Weiss, "I feel it is my right to welcome transfer students to Vale."
"I thought you said you wanted to spy to get an upper hand on the tournament," said Leaf.
"YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT!"
Piplup then noticed something, and jumped from Alissa.
"Piplup!"
The detective looked down, and said, "Hey, a Piplup! I haven't seen one in person before."
"Piplup! Don't run off!" said Alissa, as the gang arrived.
"This your Piplup?" asked the detective.
"Yes he is," said Alissa, "What happened here?"
"Dust robbery," said one officer, "This is the second store this month to get robbed where they took the Dust and left the money. Who needs this much dust?"
"The White Fang maybe?" said another officer.
"The White Fang," said Weiss, "I should've known."
"What do you mean?" asked Blake. "I just have no respect for a criminally insane race."
"They're just a group of misguided Faunus."
"MISGUIDED!? They want to wipe humanity off the planet!" "Okay, so they're very misguided." "Hey," said Seth, "It could've been that Torchwick dude."
Just then someone from the docks yelled, "HEY, SOMEONE STOP THAT FAUNUS!"
A Faunus with yellow hair, an open shirt and blue jeans and a monkey tail ran from a boat that just ported, and was on a lamp post eating a banana.
"Thanks for the ride guys," said the Faunus.
"GET DOWN FROM THERE YOU NO GOOD STOWAWAY!" yelled an officer.
"HEY!" cried the Faunus, "A no good stowaway would've been caught. I'm a GREAT stowaway."
"Come down here, now."
The Faunus responded to the officers by dropping the banana peel on his face. He then swung on a lamppost and onto the deck and ran away. As he passed the group, he winked at Blake.
"Well," said Yang, "there goes the competition."
"QUICK!" said Weiss, "WE HAVE TO OBSERVE HIM!"
Then they all ran off to follow the Faunus. Blake was in a trance, but soon followed. Weiss was too focused on the Faunus, she didn't notice she bumped into someone.
"Um, Weiss," said Red.
Weiss then jumped up and looked at the young girl on the ground. The girl on the ground had a grey dress, a green bow on her orange hair, green eyes with freckles under them, and black stockings and shoes.
"Salutations!"
She greeted them happily, while still on the ground.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Ummm," said Ruby, "do you want to get up?"
The girl thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I do."
The girl then jumped up.
"I'm Penny."
"Hi Penny, I'm Ruby."
"Weiss."
"Blake."
"Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" said Yang.
Blake then elbowed Yang, and she said, "Oh, I'm Yang."
"Seth, and this is Eva."
"Eevoi!"
"I'm Red."
"I'm Alissa, and this is Piplup."
"Pip-lup!"
"Leaf."
"It's a pleasure to meet you," said Penny.
"You already said that," said Weiss.
"So I did," replied Penny after pausing for a while.
"Well, see you around," said Yang.
"Take care friend," said Ruby.
"Well," said Yang, "she was weird."
"Now," said Weiss, "where did that Filthy Faunus go?"
"I knew Weiss was short tempered, but I didn't think she was racist," whispered Seth to Red.
Just then, Penny reappeared behind the corner.
"What did you call me?" asked Penny.
"Oh sorry," said Yang, as Weiss pointed at where Penny was while looking back and forth.
"I didn't think you heard me."
"No, not you," said Penny, "You."
She then walked to Ruby and said, "You called me friend. Am I really your friend?"
Ruby looked at her team and they all shook their heads. She then looked at the others and who were indifferent to them.
"Sure," said Ruby, "why not."
The rest of Team RWBY just face palmed and fell on the ground.
"SENSATIONAL!" exclaimed Penny, "We can hang out, paint our nails, and talk about cute boys!"
"Is this how it was when I met you?" Ruby asked Weiss.
"No," replied Weiss, "she seems more coordinated."
"So," said Seth, "why are you here Penny?"
"I'm here to fight in the tournament," she replied.
"You're here to fight in the tournament?" asked Weiss.
"I'm combat ready!"
"You hardly look the part."
"Says the girl wearing a dress," said Blake.
"It's a combat skirt," said Weiss.
Ruby then slid next to her and said, "YEAH!" and they shared a low five.
"Wait," said Weiss, "if you're here for the tournament, did you see where that riff raff went?"
"What?" asked Penny.
"That Filthy Faunus from the boat!"
"Would you STOP THAT!?" yelled Blake.
"STOP WHAT!? Weiss yelled back.
"STOP CALLING HIM A RIFF RAFF! STOP CALLING HIM A DEGENERATE! HE'S A PERSON LIKE YOU!"
"I'M SORRY, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO STOP REFERRING TO THIS TRASH CAN AS A TRASH CAN?! OR THIS LAMP POST AS A LAMP POST!?"
Seth just sighed, and looked at people looking over at them and said, "I swear I don't know those two."
After a while, the 2 teams returned to Beacon and Weiss and Blake were still arguing. Weiss then explained that her family was at war with the Faunus since her grandfather. She then called the White Fang a group of liars, cheaters, and sociopaths. At that moment, Blake finally snapped.
"Well, maybe WE were just tired of getting pushed around!" yelled Blake.
"Wait," said Alissa, "'We'?"
Blake then backed up and then ran away. The other teams decided to let her collect her thoughts. Blake, meanwhile, was in the courtyard, looking sad. She then took her bow off and revealed her cat ears. She revealed she was a Faunus to all the world to see.
"I knew you'd look better without the bow," said a voice.
