Another to the collection.

As I said, had quite a few of these bouncing around in my skull and just kind of need to get them out.

I got a couple more that I'm gonna hammer out here shortly.

Usually each drabble will have a main ship attached to it as I feel they were the best fit for the idea as a whole.

Last chapter was obviously Cinder.

This one is gonna be Amber.

In the following drabbles will be, in no particular order, Ilia, Winter, and Summer.

So let's get to the concept, of Autumn Leaves, shall we?


This couldn't be happening…

No… This was supposed to go like this… Not after being given such an opportunity.

She was letting everyone down. She could feel her very essence being drug into the dreadful creature.

She shouldn't have let her guard down…

Qrow was right about her… She was too green.

She shouldn't have left home without…

"Naruto… I'm so sorry…" A lone tear dripped down her smudged cheek, her entire body convulsed.

"She's still fighting! Hurry up! Can't hold her for much longer!" The young man clutching and holding her down demanded as the ebony girl, the one whose trick she fell for that started this mess, assisted.

His image gave her strength… She didn't want to leave just yet…

No… This couldn't be the end! She didn't…

She never got to tell him…

"It's over," A conceded, smug voice of the woman who attached this peculiar Grimm to her face grabbed her by the hair and yanked her forward. "I wouldn't worry about this Naruto… He'll be joining you soon… Bitch!"

A glob of spittle dripped over the Grimm clutched to her face and the woman with amber eyes. Eyes that burned with spiteful hatred.

A resounding clap followed, and her cheek was bruised red. Yet she smiled.

Got on her nerves…

"I'm going to enjoy every second of this!" The woman seethed, grabbing her by her hair once more. "As for you, just before you pass on from this miserable existence… I let you on a little secret."

"He never loved… Ah!"

She gasped as a magnificent golden light flashed before her very eyes. Her eyes glimmered as three bodies skidded across the dirt road, one in particular bouncing much further than the rest in a satisfying manner.

And the Grimm burned into ashes in his clutch as his hand snapped close.

Her strength sapped, and she let out a soft gasp as she fell forward…

And straight into his waiting arms. "Naruto…"

"Hey, we'll talk later. Let me take care of ya." She was enshrouded in a comforting warmth as his hand gently caressed her face, causing her to stare up into his lovingly…

Orange eyes. Huh, first blue. Then red and then gold, and now this?

He was like a young girl constantly changing her hair…

"Okay, that should be enough… Got here in time, it seems." His words comforted her as he softly let her down from his grasp, allowing her to sit up with her own strength. "Gonna finish this real quick…"

"Let them know precisely what happens when someone messes with someone precious to me!"


"Professor Autumn…"

"Huh?." Amber's eyes snapped open, rapidly blinking as she glanced around at the autumn trees all around them.

Her face, already flushed, burned a brilliant crimson. That memory again! Ugh, thank Oum, that bitch is locked under the tower… Salem will never get ahold of the powers of Fall… Not while she was still alive and kicking.

It wasn't the worst, though… Amber thoughtfully mused, her mind wandering to a particular individual as she raised her left hand, wiggling her ring finger, a golden band securely fastened on it. I got everything I wanted in the end…

"Professor Aut…?"

"Professor Uzumaki, if you would, Miss Nikos." Amber turned her attention to her students, her gaze falling mainly on the prodigal student from Mistral, a talent rarely seen in Remnant. "I apologize if it seemed like I was zoning out… You'll understand one day, I'm certain."

"Uh, sure." Pyrrha leaned away hesitantly, glancing at her Professor. What did that even mean? She was staring at… Oh, that was her wedding band… When did that happen? She didn't have that on when she first met with her. Did they…

"Can I ask why we were escorted to the Forever Fall? In full gear. Is this some test, perhaps?" Ren inquired, inquisitively taking in his surroundings and preparing for any scenario.

Got a good head on his shoulders. Calm and collected. Most wouldn't be, given his background. Amber mused, pursing her lips momentarily before reaching down to her pouch.

A jingle followed as she raised three bells between her index finger and thumb. "Just a simple exercise that has been mandated for all rookie teams to take since my husband began teaching here half a decade ago."

"And it has to do with… Bells?" Jaune tilted his head in confusion, his intent shifting from the bells to Amber after taking a good look at the item.

"Indeed it does." Amber chirped, snatching the bells before tying them to the bottom of her shoulder strap. "Your mission, for this next hour, is to retrieve these bells from me by any means necessary. Whoever succeeds in taking one passes the test."

"But there are only three." Nora pointed out, tilting her head owlishly.

"That means someone is guaranteed to fail." Ren scowled and squinted his gaze toward Amber, unnervingly scanning her.

Amber only smirked as she crossed her arms before snorting. "You solved the first problem of the test. Can you figure out the…

"NO, NO, NO, NO! OUM NO!"

A deafening roar of what sounded like an explosion nearby shattered everyone's expectations, their eyes wide at hearing what happened. What seemed to be a blonde blur burst from the tree tops, streaking to the clouds above.

The four immediately drew their weapons, Jaune turning to Pyrrha and nodding. "Yeah, let's go check it…"

"There is no need." Amber absently yawned, waving her hand before her mouth and shaking her head. "Sounds like my husband's test has started with a bang like usual…"

"PULL ME OUT, DOLT! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HUMILIATING IS TO BE BURIED LIKE THIS!"

"I'M TRYING! EVER DUG A HOLE BEFORE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT!"

Four sets of eyes shimmered, each focused upon a nonchalant Amber as she held one hand behind her back and beckoned with the other. "Now that you know the stakes and how difficult this test will be, let us begin."

"Oh, you best come at me with everything you got, or you won't make it past today."


If you enjoyed the drabbles, well first off, thank you for stopping by, and secondly, I would love to hear from ya.

The more I hear on a certain concept, the likelier it will be made in a fully fleshed story in the future.

So your voices matter so let them be heard!

Until next time my friends,

Peace.
