Chapter 1: Students


Watching the Manta slowly descend to the ground, Professor Goodwitch and Anakin Skywalker make their way to the landing zone.

Anakin POV

"Our cruiser must be back" Professor Goodwitch announced with a tired look, "Which means we'll be able to get our reinforcements" I replied, staying by her side. Putting her weapon away, Goodwitch continued, "Then it looks like our problems are solved. Fresh huntsmen, new supplies, and perhaps they've brought my new students with them" she looked to the transport craft.

"You really think it's a good idea to bring a bunch of new students into all this?" I asked, giving her a confused look.

Hiding a smirk, Professor Goodwitch answered, "I've spoke to Headmaster Ozpin about it, you should put in a request for one, you'd make a good teacher" she joked, rare for her to do. "chuckles at the response No thanks" I replied.

"Anakin" The professor looked at me, "Teaching, is a privilege, and it's part of our responsibility to help train the next generation" she stopped, standing before the Manta. "A responsibility which would slow me down" I gave her a look before turning to face the transport, doors opening up.

As the doors had fully opened, a surprised came to the two of us as a group of four girls descended from the aircraft.

"Huntresses?" Professor Goodwitch said aloud, in a state of slight confusion. "Aaand, who are you supposed to be?" I asked the girl in the up-most front. Said girl, answered, "I'm Ruby? Umm Headmaster Ozpin sent me-" "US" a noticeable whisper was heard "US! Right! Us, ahem we were told to tell both of you that you must get back to Beacon immediately, there's an emergency."


Goodwitch POV

After a few minutes of meeting each other, a proper introduction was in need.

"Well, I guess we'll have to hold out a little longer" Anakin said, crossing his arms, "How unprofessional" I thought, turning to the group. "My apologies, young ones. It's time for a proper introduction" I walked over to the one called, Ruby.

"I'm-we're! The new students here, we're Team RWBY, I'm Ruby Rose" the small girl, the leader apparently, said. "I'm Professor Goodwitch, your new teacher" I told them in formalities, ignoring Anakin's amused face. Adding in to the conversation, the Schnee girl, "We're at your service Professor Goodwitch, but I'm afraid we've actually been assigned to 'Master' Skywalker" Weiss gestured towards him.

"What?!" Anakin exclaimed in alarm, "No no no no no no no no" he protested, "There must be some mistake, she's the one who wanted the students" the Jedi pointed at me.

The blonde, Yang if I recall, butted in, "Nope, Headmaster Ozpin was very specific, we're assigned to Anakin Skywalker, and he is to supervise our Huntress training" she finished with a smirk. Quickly looking back at Anakin, things were getting amusing.

"..But that doesn't make any sense-!"

"We'll have to sort this out later, it won't be long before the grim figure out a way around our defenses" I interrupted. Walking away from the group, Anakin made his way, "I'll check out things on the look out post" "You better take them with you" I reminded him, not that he agreed willingly.

"Now then.., this should be interesting" I wondered.


Anakin POV

Watching the large mass of grim gathered near the town, a good plan would certainly be helpful.

"So?" Ruby asked, "What's the plan?" "Heh, I thought YOU were the one with the plan" I turned to look at her, ignoring the glare from the blonde. "No, I'm the one with enthusiasm! You're the one with experience! Which, I'm looking forward to learning from" she declared with excitement.

After a few seconds of looking at each other and the group, I turn back to face the horde of grim, opening up a little, "Well first, we need to get through that wreckage, then find some cover from those grim" I told them, scanning the area.

"Why don't we just go around? Outflank them or something?" The blonde, Yang, I think, spoke up.

"Would take too long" I answered.

"Sneak through the middle then?" Blake added, staring at the grim. "Impossible, unless you can turn yourself into a..." the realization hits me.

"Alright, you win" The one in blue said. "Our first lesson will be to wait while you come up with the answer" she ended with a displeased look. "The waits over! I've got a plan" I flashed her a smirk.


Ruby POV

After the team and Anakin had cleared away the grim and the people had been saved, I couldn't help but take a seat on a slab of broken concrete, disappointed in myself, "I messed up...again, maybe Anakin was right, this was a mistake..." unaware of him approaching.

"Oh boy..." I hope Yang won't get mad at him.

Taking a seat next to me, I braced myself for an earful, "Your reckless, little one" he simply told me, "You never would've made it as Goodwitchs' student" I sighed to myself.

"But you might make it as mine" "All of you" He finished, taking me AND my friends by surprise, "Come on" He told the four of us, getting back up.

"Coooooool.." My eyes sparkled, "Master Skywalker..."


The memory fades away, eyes watery, trying to escape my pain, remembering my friend and master, long gone by now.

"...Anakin"

Where is he now? I don't even know, hopefully in peace, with that senator girl maybe 'sigh'. I should go back to sleep, those twins still need training after all, not like Weiss or her sister is here to train them.
