Well here we go for the first chapter of volume 4. don't know how long this chapter will possibly be but I will be trying to write as much as possible.

It had been a week since Aodh arrived in Anima as he walked up To what seemed a temporary camp. Around the camp a large wooden wall was built. a voice spoke out to Aodh from behind him. "What are you doing here."

"Why are you asking that. Can't I visit family?" Aodh turned around t see his aunt Raven.

"You're not here for a visit."

Aodh chuckled as he responded. "You're right. I'm here for you to train me."

Volume 4: Chapter 1: One Happy Family.

"So you want me to train you?" Raven asked Aodh.

"Yeah, otherwise this will have been a wasted journey." Aodh responded.

Raven looked at her nephew for a minute in silence before turning away. "No... Go somewhere else."

"What!?" Aodh then continue'd to shout out in anger. "If I recall It wasn't too long ago when you came to me asking for me to join you! What made you change your mind!? Was it Beacon falling!? Is it your pride!? Explain!"

"Is this person bothering you?" A female voice spoke out the both Aodh and Raven. They both seen a young woman with tan-colored skin, short brown hair and icy blue eyes walk out of the camp entrance.

"No.. He was just leaving." Raven coldly stated as she glared at Aodh.

Aodh started to walk towards Raven as he spoke. "Am I Fuc.." Aodh was cut short as a bolt of lightning cracked just in front of his feet.

"She said... Leave." The short haired woman growl out to Aodh as she pointed he weapon at him. The weapon it's self was a large Deer Horn Knife combined with a pistol. Aodh could tell this weapon was forged and not a throw it together yourself weapon. Which meant she was from an academy.

"Sorry was I talking to you?" Aodh asked as he turned his attention towards the short haired woman.

Raven then placed her hand on the short haired woman's shoulder. "Get rid of him Vernal." The now named Vernal then smiled as she rushed towards Aodh.

Expecting a better fighter than most of the other fighters in the Tribe Aodh pulled out his new weapon, Rua Solas. Flicking his wrists the two black bracelets expanded out and covered all of his forearm.

As he closed his fist a single wide blade extended out of each gauntlet. The blades were coated in Fire Dust. Aodh brought up Rua Solas to defend his neck as Vernal swung her Deer Horn Knife at his jugular.

Pushing her back Aodh steadied himself as braced for another strike. However Vernal fired off several rounds instead. Using his blades Aodh managed to block each bullet that went his way before rushing in to counter.

Aodh easily took advantage as Vernal was barely able to block his strikes. Aodh continue'd to increase the rates of his attacks until he managed to knock away her weapon and in the following strikes take a large chuck of her aura.

Suddenly a strong gust of wind pushed Aodh back rolling on the ground. "What the?" Aodh thought out loud thinking someone else had joined his fight and knocked him back.

However when his eyes looked at Vernal he realized she was starting to float up into the air and a vortex of wind started to surround her. "I said... Leave."

Her voice was now deeper than before as her eyes started to glow. Aodh smirked as he spoke. "So you have a Maiden in the tribe... I wonder if you're the missing Spring Maiden." Aodh smirked as he stated back Aodh His semblance activated.

Raven continue'd to watch Vernal and Aodh fight but when flames started to flicker around Aodh she shouted out. "ENOUGH!"

The flames around Aodh then exploded outwards and the winds around Vernal continue'd to increase in their speed but they suddenly came to a stop when Raven jumped in between the two fighters.

"Ms Branwen..." Vernal was stunned by her leaders sudden appearance as she turned to face Aodh.

"Alright... I'll train you." Raven calmly stated to Aodh. Aodh then deactivated Rua Solas as he smirked at Vernal.

"What!?" Vernal shouted in shock.

"Calm down Vernal... Or should I remind you of your place." Raven coldly stated back to her underling.

Aodh continue'd to watch on in silence until Raven directly spoke to him. "I'll get someone to set up a tent for you. We'll begin tomorrow. The sooner I deal with you the sooner you will leave."

"Fine by me." Aodh calmly responded. As he walked into the camp Vernal walked in front of him blocking his path.

"I'd move Spring." Aodh growled towards Vernal as he spoke.

"My name is Vernal, not Spring." Vernal growled right back at Aodh.

Aodh then brought his mouth beside Vernal's ear and whispered into her ear. "I don't address failures by their first name."

With his part said Aodh continue'd walking into the camp. Vernal watched on stunned at what happened as Raven's voice brought her out of her daze. "He's changed since Beacon fell... Otherwise he wouldn't have come here."

"What do you mean he's changed?" Vernal asked having never meet Aodh before she assumed this was what he was like.

"When those flames started to surround his body I could tell that he was planning on killing you. His former partner was the Fall Maiden... And you left your post as the Spring Maiden. So he knows the pressure it takes that someone is under with the role of a Maiden." Raven explained as best she could to Vernal.

"Vernal. I'm advising you to watch your back... I highly believe that Aodh might try to kill you while he's here." Vernal was once more stunned as Raven calmly warned her underling.

"Kill me? Why would he try and kill me? And if so, why are you allow him to stay!?" An Angry Vernal asked Raven.

"He will try because he knows someone else will take the role of Spring. Someone who he would be able to keep an eye over and possibly train himself... As for allowing him to stay well. It's so I can keep an eye if him if he does... Plus it'll avoid my brother, Aodh's father from finding out you're here as well." Raven explained to Vernal as she walked towards the camp.

"Wait, you're brother is Aodh's father..." Vernal couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yes... Aodh Branwen my nephew."

(Yang)

Around roughly the same time as Aodh entered Raven's camp, her daughter Yang Xiao Long was sitting on a green couch in her home on Patch.

She leaned back as she flicked through each channel on her home's television. She stopped on a channel that showed Glynda Goodwitch fail to piece a building back together again. The bottom of the screen read, 'Beacon Inaccessible.'

"With no end in sight. Try as they might, the local Huntsmen and Huntresses can't seem to get a hold of the situation at Beacon Academy." The News reporter stated.

Yang changes the channel using the remote. Another news report flashes on the screen with the headline, 'CCT Repairs Underway'. A subhead reads as, 'Atlas officials working on solution, but not optimistic.'

"Though the fail safes have supported wireless communication within the kingdom, the loss of the CCT Tower continues to prevent contact with the outside world. Talks with Atlas officials regarding repairs have so far." The New Reporter was cut short as Yang once more changed the channel.

Another new channel showed up this one with the headline reading. 'Sending Citizens Home.'

"Vale council voted this week to continue to ban any air traffic that does not have a direct correlation with evacuation. The council has made it clear that they feel." Yang clicks again. But the new channel makes her eyes widen as she sits up.

"Multiple rumors continue to circulate as to who was behind the attacks at the Vytal Festival Tournament." The screen now showed anchor Lisa Lavender. The headline read in block letters. 'WHITE FANG MEMBER, ADAM TAURUS, PRESENT DURING BEACON GRIMM ATTACK.'

"While no one knows for sure, officials have confirmed that high-ranking White Fang member, Adam Taurus was present for the attack. Any and all attempts to bring him into custody have been met with brutal force." Lisa Lavender's new report was cut short as Yang heard someone enter her home and quickly turned off the TV.

"I'm home!" The voice of her father Taiyang called out to Yang. She leaned her head backward on the couch as she responded

"Hey, Dad." Even though Yang was upside down she could see Tai carrying three boxes with two bags hanging on his forearms.

"Guess what came in today!" Tai shut the door behind him as he asked Yang.

"What?" Yang asked.

"I can't wait for you to try this." Tai stated as he carried the boxes and bags into the kitchen. when he came back into the living room he was carrying a long white box.

Setting the box on the coffee table in front of Yang she could see the Kingdom of Atlas symbol on it. She looks at it and doesn't move. "Well?"

"It's… for me?"

"For you and you only."

Yang lifts the lid off the box to reveal a silver colored robotic right arm. "Brand new, state of the art Atlas tech. You know, I thought I was gonna have to pull some strings, call in a few favors, but it looked like I was beaten to the punch."

"Huh?" Yang looked up at her father in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Yeah, I was surprised as well but when your girlfriend is high up in Atlas' military I suppose it has it's perks now and then. Before I could even talk to him, General Ironwood told me Aodh and Winter had already commissioned one to be worked on for you. They even requested for Ember Celica to be adjusted for the arm as well." Tai explained to Yang.

Yang looks up at her father but says nothing. "Well? You going to try it on?"

"I uh… I'm not feeling too great right now. Maybe later?" Yang meekly responded as she slowly put the box's lid back on.

Tai looks on deflated a bit but he starts to rub the back of his neck as he thought about what would be best to say. "Well, alright... When ever you're ready."

Yang stand up and hugs her father with one arm before walking up the stairs. Yang stops midway up the stairs and turns to face Tai smiling. "Thanks Dad."

Tai warmly smiles back at eldest daughter as she continue'd to walk up the stairs but once she was out of sight his smiled faded and he knew that the smile on Yang's face was also gone as well.

And Cut!

Alright so a lot of new stuff happening in Volume 5 so far. It's really hard to guess what's happening and if all the stories are running around the same time frame. Honestly I'm finding that the most confusing part. But anyway let's get going with this chapter's Q&A!

1) Will Aodh appear in the chapter 'Punished' to help RNJR and Qrow? No, Sorry but the next time Aodh will interact possibly with Team RNJR will be in Volume 5. Qrow however he will speak to but not when Qrow and Raven meet up. It'll be best waiting to see what happens.

2) Why are you focusing on Yang only in Volume 4 and not including Ruby? Several reasons, one there is more to write in following Yang's story in Volume 4.
Two one of the failures I feel over Volume 4 was too many plot points at once. Volume 4 had 5/6 different stories and at times it was hard to follow. With just following Yang and Aodh it'll be a similar easier read.
and Three, It'll run up the merging of both stories for Volume 5.

So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time
