The Teams walked back into Beacon Grounds to see Prof. Ozpin waiting for them "Anthony, I'd like a word with you please" Anthony turned to the other Teams and nodded giving them the go-a-head to leave for the dorms, they nodded back and walked in the direction of the dorm all bar Ruby who was staring at him with worry in her eyes, after he saw the worry he put on a smile which he then pointed in her direction reliving her of her worries as she sped off in a flurry of rose petals, "So everything okay Pops?" Anthony asked as the rose petals that he had caught started to dissolve, Ozpin stared at him for a second before sighing "There have been rumours that before you apprehended Mister Winchester, you released a growl that was identical to that of an Alpha Beowolf, then in the forest you kicked that Death Stalker with the strength of 4 elite Hunters, be careful or someone will find you out" and with that he left. Anthony walked into his Dorm room to see his team along with both Teams RWBY and JNPR, he raised an eyebrow "So why is everyone here?" Weiss walked forward "Well Brother dear, you're hiding some very big secrets from us your Team included" "what make you say that lil' Sis?" That's when Yang stepped in "You have to much physical strength for a normal human, the axe-kick you preformed was 3 times stronger than my punches that makes it 7 times stronger than the normal human" "Are you sure, it didn't seem that strong to me?" Anthony asked trying to look as honest as possible, Nora walked forward and stared at him suspiciously, he started to sweat "Are you a secret agent?" and with that question asked all tension was gone Natsu and Marcus were curled over laughing with Yang and Ruby about to join them, Anthony laughed a little as well "Alright Nora, you caught me I'm a secret agent sent by Ozpin sent to find the best of the best from the Hunter Trainees, in a plot to take over the four kingdoms" everyone in the room except Ichigo stared at him with shock "Wow, and I thought I was good at improvisation" Blake commented "What are you on about improvisation, I have witnesses from last year, just give me a second" he pulled out his scroll and called a number, only to have a set of bunny ears appear on the screen and a thick English accent "Ant? Why are you calling me at this hour?" "Soz Velv but I need you and Coco to be witnesses in my trial" "What trial? What have you done now?" asked Coco's voice from off screen "Well Nora asked if I was a secret agent so I said yes, I was and I was sent by Ozpin to find the best of the best to take over the four kingdoms, can you confirm I did the same last year", Coco then appeared on the screen, "How did you lot figure out so quickly? It took us 4 months to figure that out" everyone then stared at Anthony in shock until he doubled over in laughter along with Coco, Velvet, Fox, Yatsu and Ichigo, "We've just been seriously pranked, haven't we?" Yang asks with a smirk "Oh yes" Anthony answered the busty blond. "Ok now that the jokes over, no I'm not a secret agent but I'm in fact a Faunus" everyone stared at him suspiciously "Ok, I'll prove it, just don't pull them, they hurt enough as it is" as he finished speaking a pair of canine ears lifted from the hair on his head, one had a chunk missing from the side, "Holy crap, he is a Faunus, is anyone else hiding this fact? We won't judge if you are, we're all friends here, please don't hide who you are" Ruby asked, Anthony walked over and put a hand on her shoulder "Not everyone feels comfortable showing their heritage, and I will be honest I wasn't going to but after Winter assured me that Weiss wasn't anything like her father, I decided that I would reveal mine" "Oh, it's still sad they can't trust us" she said with tears on the edges of her eyes, Anthony pulled her into a hug, ignoring the glare from Yang "Think of it this way, we Faunus have be bullied and discriminated for our heritage and then meeting a Schnee, the ultimate offenders against Faunus, no offence Weiss, it's going to be difficult to reveal ourselves" "Oh, I have a question though" "Go ahead" "What happened to your ear?" Anthony froze up, his arms clenched a little tighter around Ruby's form "You don't have to say, that was a little personal of me, just forge- "He placed a finger over her lips, "Your rambling," her cheeks went red in embarrassment "Don't worry about it, I told you to ask, I'll answer your question" he let go of the small Huntress-in-training "This happened around 4 years ago, when a bull Faunus took over the White Fang, he started hunting rare species of Faunus and experimenting on them, after he found me he experimented on me for 4 months, always talking about this cat Faunus he had fallen for, telling me that the sacrifice of my sanity and humanity would liberate Faunus kind from the Human Tyranny. About 2 months in I escaped his confinements and met the cat Faunus, she just stared at me coated in my own blood with wires poking out of my arms, neck and head, the bull and his goons then caught me and the cat Faunus looked with horror and betrayal at the bull before disappearing, two months later, I escaped by breaking his arm and killing ten of his goons, father than sent a group of hunters to storm the base, they found no one, but the only things that are burned into my mind are that evil smirk and his name, Adam" Blake was watching in complete silence with her eyes widened, Anthony then yawn and stretched his arms, "Right time for bed, see ya tomoz" Anthony and his team returned to their room.
