Another new chapter coming right up!

Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Monty Oum (RIP) along with Rooster Teeth.

Aodh thoughts were then cut short as he heard his father's voice cry out. "Hey!" Aodh looked down and as seen his father standing over the mangled remains of AK-200. "Yeah, I'm talking to you, Ice Queen!"

'Oh Oum he's drunker than I thought he would be' Aodh groaned internally as he thought to himself.

Winter noticed a few of the other AK-200's were about to take aim at Qrow but she raised her hand to stop them. "Halt!"

However Weiss has something else different on her mind. "Excuse me! Do you have any idea who you are talking to!?"

Qrow slowly pushed Weiss away from him. "Sssshhh. Not you." With Weiss out of his line of sight he points towards Winter. "I was talking to you."

Volume 3: Chapter 3: A Family Brawl

Winter sighed as she blankly stared at Qrow. "You do realize that you just destroyed Atlas Military property."

Qrow faked his shock as he looked around at the broken AK-200's lying around. "Oh, oh I'm sorry. See, I mistook this for some sort of... sentient garbage." Qrow sarcastically responded.

"I don't have time for your immature games, Qrow. Can I now spend some time with my sister?" Winter asked as nicely as she could but her temper was fading. .

Qrow then stared directly at Winter. His hand slowly moved towards the sword on his back. Winter noticed then and lightly pushed Weiss to one side. "Weiss, it's time for you to go."

Meanwhile Aodh watched from the top of Beacon with a great amount of unease. "This is gonna be tough explaining to Winter later." Aodh groaned to himself as he watched his father and Winter launch towards each other.

The clinks and clangs of two swords sounded around the Beacon's Main Avenue. It appeared that both Qrow and Winter were evenly matched for there skills.

Weiss however was watching the scene unfold around her with concern. Why was the father of her dead teacher fighting her older sister. To her it just didn't make sense. Weiss was so concerned with what was going on she didn't even realize Ruby walking beside her. "Weiss, why is my uncle fighting your sister?"

As the two continue'd to clash Aodh watched the crowd with interest. He noticed someone walk away in a quick fashion as if he was trying to avoid attention. Aodh thought he'd keep an eye on this person.

As Aodh kept top the shadows he got a closer look at this person. Mercury Black. 'So that little shit is also part of Cinder's cell. Things just got interesting for your team didn't it.' Aodh thought to himself as he stopped following Mercury.

With an odd sensation of being watched Mercury quickly turned around but only found no one was watching him. "I have to tell Cinder quickly." Mercury thought out loud to himself as he left.

Aodh having arrived back to his earlier spot noticed that the fight between his father and Winter was still on going but it was now taking part on the roof tops. Finally one of the many rounds of Dust Qrow was firing at Winter had hit and caused a dust explosion.

But from the ashes Winter threw herself towards Qrow and activated the hidden rapier within her sword. After a few more clashes Winter then began to actively use her semblance a lot more.

Qrow soon found himself being surrounded by several miniature Nevermores. The only way he would've been able to dispel the all in one move would be to destroy the summoning glyph Winter used.

With a single dust swing Qrow had managed to do so. This however this only went to anger Winter as she summoned another glyph behind her. This one was designed to give her a boosted push towards Qrow for one last throw of the dice.

As she prepared to launch her attack Qrow suddenly disarmed himself and taunted Winter once more. Without hesitation she launched her attack at Qrow. But before she could cut Qrow to pieces a commanding voice shouted at her.

"SCHNEE!" Winter looked behind her only to find an angry General Ironwood standing behind her.

"General Ironwood, sir!" Winter nervously addressed the General.

General Ironwood stared at both Winter and Qrow as if he was demanding an answer. "What in the world do you think you're doing?

"He started the altercation, sir!" Winter pointed her finger at Qrow in a child like manner.

"That's actually not true. She attacked first." Qrow also did the same.

"Actually you both attacked each other." Another voice spoke out. the three of them turn to find Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch. Ozpin then turned his attention towards the crowd that had gathered. "But that aside there will be a sanctioned fight just around the corner at the Colosseum tomorrow, that I can assure you has a lot better seats... and popcorn."

"Break it up, everyone! We will take care of this mess." Professor Goodwitch stated towards the crowd as they began to disperse.

"Let's go." Ironwood stated towards Winter as they both left for Professor Ozpin's office.

Aodh then stood up from his position on the roof and teleported towards Ozpin's office waiting for the others to arrive.

(Ozpin's Office)

As Aodh waited the first to arrive were General Ironwood and Winter. However instead of a hug and a kiss Winter instead bombarded Aodh with question after question.

Aodh honestly didn't know if she actually wanted an answer to some of them but thought it would be best to just shut up and let Winter vent some of her anger.

"Why the hell is your father such an idiot!? That fight got out of hand to quickly! I mean what if someone got hurt in that crowd!? What is Weiss or your cousin Ruby got hurt!? Huh!? I don't get it! Why did he attack me!?"

Winter's rant was cut short as another elevator arrived with Ozpin, Glynda and Qrow.

"What were you thinking!?" Winter quickly snapped at Qrow demanding an answer.

"If you were one of my men, I would have you shot!" General Ironwood stated angerly towards Qrow.

"If I was one of your men, I'd shoot myself." Qrow retorted back as he took out a hip flask. "But the better question you should be asking yourself is why isn't my son so upset."

At this moment Aodh simply had a angered look of betrayal towards his father before Winter soon got up in his face. "Well what do you have to say about yourself?"

"Okay I knew he was going to do something I just didn't expect it to end up like this." Aodh softly tried to answer Winter's question but she was not accepting his answer. "But if you must know I did watch from a distance so if anything did happen i could be there to help."

"And what could you have done to help. In case you forgot you're supposed to be undercover and a simple mask isn't going to fool some people!?" Winter shouted in Aodh's face. "Besides your father was drunk!"

"Winter he's always drunk!" Aodh stated back towards Winter as he pointed to his father.

At that moment Qrow was caught taking a swing from his hip flask. With his hand caught in the cookie jar Qrow just did what he thought was best. He continue'd to drink. "He's not wrong. If that's any help"

Professor Ozpin openly sighed in response to Qrow. "Okay, shall we get things started then. What new information have you got for us."

"I didn't get much but I don't think winter should be here to hear this. She isn't part of this group." Qrow stated as he pointed towards Winter.

"But I." Winter tried to defend herself but she was cut short by Aodh.

"She's staying. Whether you like or not Winter is involved in this whole ordeal just as much as I am. Or did you forget she is within contact of at least two people in this room. That would put her on a dangerous list. She has to know what is coming." Aodh informed his father.

"I don't understand what's going on?" Winter softly asked. She felt so out of place while Aodh and Qrow argued amongst the two of them.

"I believe it would be best for either Qrow or Aodh to answer that question for you." General Ironwood answered Winter's question.

"I don't care about that right now. Listen if you don't tell her, I will!" The last part of Aodh's argument was clearly heard.

"Tell me what?" Winter asked.

Qrow then looked at Winter and then to his son before sighing in defeat. "Despite what the world thinks, we're not just teachers, or generals, or headmasters. The people in this room, the leaders of the other two academies, we're the ones that keep the world safe from the evils no one even knows about."

"It's why we meet behind closed doors, why i'm working in the shadows. I fill you in with the rest later tonight." Aodh finished answering Winter's question.

"But who are you working against. There has to be something."

"Her name is Salem and she is refereed to as the Queen." Professor Ozpin spoke up and answered Winter's question. "Now that we know you were watching the fight did you notice anything out of place at all Aodh?"

"Well I noticed Mercury Black who is supposedly part of Cinder's Team left quite quickly once he spotted the old man." Aodh stated as he pointed his thumb towards Qrow. "So i'll advise to watch her team very closely over the next two rounds."

"You expect them to easily pass the second round?" Glynda asked.

"Who are they facing?" Qrow asked. This brought a smile to Professor Ozpin's face as he answered.

"They're facing Team CFVY. Who just so happen to be Aodh's favorite team.

"I know if they were on an even playing field Team CFVY would beat them every time." Aodh stated back towards the group as if it was a fact.

"You're just saying that cause they're your favorite team." Winter nudged Aodh in amusement.

"Actually i'm saying that because they left out the best two fighters for the second round. If Velvet and Fox were in the second round no other team would've stood a chance."

(Cinder's Group)

"And you're sure?" Cinder asked Mercury.

"Bad hair, used a scythe, and smelled like my dad after a long day. Trust me when i'm saying this, it was him." Mercury listed off the reasons why he thought Qrow was at Beacon.

"What do you think we should do?" Emerald nervously asked Cinder.

Ciner couldn't help but smirk as a response. "At the moment we do nothing. We stay the course. They have no idea who we are, so we have no reason to worry. Besides, the last of the heavy lifting is being taken care of thanks to our clever little friend."

cinder's scroll then flashed and showed an image of a black Queen chess piece. "Speaking of which... it appears we have a new access point."

"Anywhere good?" Emerald asked.

"You could say that. Go to your rooms. I'll prepare everything for tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Got it. But..."

"What is it Mercury?" cinder's eyes narrowed as she asked her question.

"Well after I seen Qrow I left as soon as possible. I felt as if someone was watching me from behind but when I turned around I and seen no one was near me, but I still had the same feeling. It might be nothing but we can't take anything to chance."

Cinder didn't respond verbally to Mercury's statement. Instead she just waved him away and continue'd to think to herself. 'Interesting.'

And Cut!
