Docks

In a bar, a drunk man, with a red scarf around his neck, saw the match, and the bartender complimented him about the match while wiping the glass.

Bartender: Hmm. Those kids weren't half bad.

The drunk man just looked at the glass and drank  another shot.

Amity

The trio on the rooftop is just take another lick of their ice cream pops.

Y/n: Well, that seemed charged up everyone for the match including us.

Neo: *nods aggressively while eating*

Summer: Hey, careful now. You don't want a brain freeze unlike last time.

Neo: *pouts* Hey, I was having a time of my life with this ice cream, you know.

Summer: Well, can't argue with that. Say, do you have more of these back at HQ?

Y/n: Maybe. Maybe not. Why?

Neo: *imagining things*

Summer: Well... you know.

Y/n: You mean, the other flavors... *thinks* Maybe, when this "fall" is over.

Y/n suddenly gets tugged by Summer with a pout on her face including Neo behind her.

Summer: You. Gave. Us. 

Neo: Or. Else.

Y/n: *nervous and raises his arms surrendering* Y-Yeah. Sure

Summer puts him down and Neo just sighed and giggled at it.

Y/n: 'Man, women can be scary'

Arena

Oobleck: Well... Vacuo fans seem to be hurting after that match, but this next round will have them on the edge of their seats.

Port: This next round, team NDGO of Shade is certainly a eye catching for our crowds. But these lovely ladies are going against some of the toughest teammates in Shade so far. It is none other than, team SSSN

Y/n: 'I remember this part. Gah, why does it feel like Port is not actually caring about his vocabulary?'

But then some are raising their posters of team SSSN, but most ladies are raising their favorite member in the team SSSN. One of them is a simp that she even raised Sun's abs about it.

Y/n and his friends just looked  at each other and smirks.

Y/n, Summer, Neo: *smirks* simps. *eats their ice cream pops*

When they got the battle area is gonna be, first is the Drylands, while the other is Shipwreck. At this point, team RWBY and team T/n saw Neptune froze.

Blake & Y/n: Oh no.

Neo: *eating her vanilla layer on the Ice pop* Wha?

Y/n: This is his weakness.

Summer: Who?

Y/n: Neptune. He has Aquaphobia.

Summer: Wait, I remember "phobia" means excessive and irrational fear reaction. So...

Neo: *realizes and had a sad frown* Godspeed, Neptune.

Oobleck: 3, 2, 1. Begin!

https://youtu.be/y4F4jqvrdPg

When the trio saw the video for the finishing scenes Neptune's Electric Shock to finish off NDGO.

Neo: Not bad for someone who has a fear of water.

Summer: Agreed.

Y/n: Still, though it's ironic. 'Pinangalan siya sa isang Greek God mythology, tapos siya'y takot sa tubig.'

Neo: Hm? What was that?

Y/n: Oh, it's nothing. Come on, our bonding time is over. Back to work.

Summer: But, what about the favor?

Y/n remembers the favor from Ozpin.

Flashback

Y/n: Sir? You mean, I get to participate in the tournament

Ozpin: Yes. And you get to fight one team, any team from different Kingdoms.

Flashback End

They disappeared instantly after they got the Arrival device from Y/n.

Meanwhile in the bar, the lazy and drunk Qrow Branwen watched the battle.

Bartender: Now that was a match! 

Qrow: *scoffs* That was a mess

Bartender: Come on, man. You didn't like them, the Vale 3 kids, or any of the rounds before that. What fight are you looking here for?

But then Qrow saw an Atlesian transport ship with 4 banners attached each to the wings.

Qrow: That one. *drinks his shot to the fullest* Whoa. Happy Vytal Festival, by the way.

He puts down the glass and the money for the drink, and heads out to follow the ship. The bartender accidentally breaks the glass when he gets Qrow's glass.

Bartender: Aww, man.

Amity

Ruby: Ugh, that was so close.

Yang: Looks like the dorks made it to the next round!

Blake sees the two dancing around after their victory. Sun just winks at Blake. 

Blake: *blushes a little bit* Emphasis on the dork.

Oobleck: That concludes the matches for the day. Please leave the Colosseum *RWBY begins to cover their ears* IN A CALM AND ORDERLY FASHION.

Yang: Come on, let's go congratulate them.

But then Weiss saw the incoming transport ship and she slows down as she knows who it is. Ruby bumps her as she's confused.

Ruby: *bumps her* What... are you doing?

Weiss: *happy* She's here.

They ran through the courtyard of the school to see the airship landed on the helipad.

Ruby: *exhausted* Weiss, what's the big deal? Who is it? Who is she?

Weiss: Winter!

Ruby: Wait... Your sister?

Weiss: *calls out* Winter!

Winter looks behind to see who's calling out to her. Weiss and Ruby gets closer to see Winter, face to face.

Weiss: Winter! I'm so happy to see you!  *formally* Oh, your presence honors us.

Winter: Beacon, it's been a long time. The air feels... different.... and stranger.

Ruby: I mean its fall so it's probably colder. *punched at the head by Weiss* Gah!

Weiss: So, what are you doing here?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Oh, right. Well, how long are you staying?

Winter: Classified.

Weiss: Of course.

Ruby: Well, this is nice... I think.

Weiss can't contain it anymore she just blabbers it out.

Weiss: (excitedly) You're going to love it here! I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas ! (discreetly whispers) Vale, too. The government and school are completely separate! Can you believe it!? I-

Winter: I'm more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its bureaucracy. That is not why I came.

Weiss: Right! I'm sorry.

Winter: Nor did I come here to watch my own blood fail so miserably in battle. But it appears I have no choice in the matter.

Weiss: But we won.

Winter: Only a novice would prefer to that as a victory. I counted at least 3 strikes missed. *commands the bots* Leave us. *sighs* How have you been?

Weiss: Oh, splendid! Thank you for asking. I'm actually in the very top ranking of our sparring class. The rest of my studies are going wonderfully too-

https://youtu.be/atdxtkApnUA

Winter whacks Weiss' head by slapping it. Weiss' head now has a big bump on it.

Winter: Silence, you boob! I don't recall asking about your ranking. I asked how you've been. Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Are you making friends?

Weiss: Well... there's Ruby.

Ruby: *giggles and pushes the bump back* Boob.

Winter: I see. So this is the leader you wrote of. How appropriately... underwhelming.

Winter said that because the letter Weiss sent was when she's not elected as the leader and also when they're both newbies to Beacon.

Ruby: Uhh, thank you.

Winter: Greetings Ruby Rose. I wish to thank you for taking an interest in my sister.

Ruby: Oh, yes, of course! The honor is in my... court.

Ruby nearly lost balance but she regain it back completely.

Winter: Hmm? *looks around* It seems the 5th member you're talking about is not here.

Weiss: Oh, Y/n?

Ruby: Y/n is... well... lone wolf. But he's gonna participate here anyway.

Winter: Looking forward to his... potential. But anyways, I have business with the general and your headmaster. But seeing as I'm early, why don't you take me to your quarters?

Weiss: *excited* Really?

Winter: Yes, I wish to inspect them and make sure they're up to my personal standards. 

Weiss: Of course. Just so you're aware though, the bunk beds only look unstable.

Winter: Bunk... bed?

Ruby: (waving goodbye behind them) I'll catch up- I mean, I will... reconvene with you both... at a later... (she pauses with her hand on her head, wracking her brain for the right word) juncture! (she raises her finger, before stepping out of sight to the left) At a juncture. Yeah.

Winter and the androids walking towards the courtyard, until someone dizzily sneaks up behind the bits and promptly decapitates one, before kicking its head towards the group to gain attention.

Qrow: Hey! Yeah, I'm talking to you Ice Queen.

A bot is now aimed the rifle towards Qrow but Winter orders them.

Winter: Halt.

Weiss: Excuse me! Do you have any idea who you're talking to-?

Qrow: *places his hands on her face* Atatata, not you. *pushes Weiss out of the way* 

Weiss: Hey!

Qrow: (looks at the irritated Winter as he clarifies) You.

A raven is perched to a lamppost as it flies away.

Qrow: Saw that gaudy ship of yours in town. I guess you're here too.

Winter: I'm standing right before you.

Qrow: So it would seem.

Winter: You realize you just destroyed Atlas military property?

Qrow: Pfft. *sarcasm* Ohhh, I'm sorry. See, I mistook this for some sort of... sentient garbage.

Winter: *getting irritated* Tsk. I don't have time for your immature games, Qrow.

Weiss comes into the scene surprised about Winter knowing Qrow.

Weiss: Wait, you two know each other?

Qrow: Geez, you Atlas specialists think you're so special don't you?

Winter: It's in the title.

Qrow: Well, you know what you really are? A bunch of sellouts. Just like your boss.

Winter: I'm not sure what you think you're implying, but I've heard enough.

Qrow: Oh, I heard too. I heard old Ironwood finally turned his back on Ozpin.

Weiss: Ozpin?

Winter: Weiss, it's time for you to go.

Weiss: What?

Qrow: Listen to your big sister, Weiss. She'll protect you. Just like Atlas is gonna protect all of us, huh?

Winter: If you won't hold your tongue, *slowly unsheathes her own sword* then I will gladly remove it for you!

Qrow: Alright then. *slicks his hair backwards* Come and take it.

(Just the fight scene)

https://youtu.be/1EFGHJajiWs

While they're fighting, Mercury saw them and flees. It didn't go unnoticed by Y/n though, who's watching at the lampost, using Aamon's Invincible Armor.

 Y/n continues to observe, he then noticed that Winter can dual wield.

Y/n: Hmm, dual wield huh? She sure is in the ranks.

Qrow activated his Harbringer into Scythe mode and Winter activated her Glyphs.

Y/n: Okay, better stop this fight now.

As they both about to clash again with everything they got. They got knocked back by shards circling on front of the two and a voice called out to the 2.

Y/n: Enough!

Winter: Who goes there?!

Qrow: Come on out. 

Y/n uncloaked himself and the two pointed their weapons at him. And the shard returned to his armor, absorbing it.

Y/n: Please, don't fight me this time. Because, you made enough ruckus and also gain the attention of the general and headmaster.

Winter: What?

Ironwood: Schnee! 

Winter looks behind to see Ironwood with Penny behind him.

Winter: General Ironwood, sir!

Ironwood: What in the world do you think you're doing?

Winter: He started the altercation, sir.

Qrow: That's actually not true, she attacked first.

Ironwood: Is that right? Y/n?

Winter tries to reason with it, but Y/n answers it truthfully.

Y/n: Yes, sir. Shots called by Winter.

Ironwood sees the people that saw the duel. Ironwood doesn't mind about it and asks Qrow. 

Ironwood: And you?

Qrow just mockingly points himself

Ironwood: What are you doing here?

Qrow: I could be asking you the same thing.

Ironwood: I-

Ozpin: Now, now everyone.

Ozpin and Glynda came into the scene.

Ozpin: There is a sanctioned fight happening just around the corner at the Colosseum. That I can assure you has better seats... and some popcorns.

Glynda: Break it up, everyone! We will take care of this mess.

Ironwood: Let's go.

They get in the Beacon. Penny waves hi to Ruby. Ruby waves back and returns to the recent issue.

Ruby: Uncle Qrow! *hugs his arm* Hi. Ahh, it's so good to see  you! Did you miss me? Did you miss me?!

Qrow: *jokingly* Nope. *shared a grin and ruffles her hair*

Ozpin: Qrow, Y/n. *Qrow just let Ruby slide down from his arm*

Ozpin: A word please.

Qrow: I think we're in trouble.

Ruby: You did kinda tear up our courtyard. If it wasn't for Y/n, you made it worse.

Qrow: Yeah, I did. *fist bumps Ruby and she returns it* Catch you later, kid.

Qrow left, and Weiss argues to Ruby about the duel.

Weiss: And suddenly your recklessness makes sense.

Ruby: You're just mad because he whooped butt. *nudged Weiss' shoulder*

Weiss: That was a draw at best.

Evening

Winter is walking side to side, impatiently. Suddenly, the elevator door opens and a smirking Qrow is accompanied by Ozpin, Glynda and Y/n.

Winter: What were you thinking?!

Ironwood: You know, Qrow. If you were one of my men, I would have you shot.

Qrow: If I was one your men, I'd shoot myself.

Glynda: While I wouldn't condone his behavior, retaliating like you did certainly didn't help the situation.

Winter: He was drunk!

Glynda: He's always drunk.

Their argument was disturbed when Qrow is drinking, again. Their faces has a pure shock mixed with disbelief. But thankfully, Y/n cleared his throat to get to the point.

Ozpin: *heavily sighs* Qrow, why are you here?

Ironwood: You've been out of contact for weeks! You can't just go dark like that in the field.

Qrow: I'm not one of your special operatives, Jimmy.

Winter: General.

Qrow: Whatever. You sent me to get intel on our enemy, and I'm telling you our enemy is here.

Ironwood: We already know.

Qrow: Oh! Oh, you already know?! Well, thank goodness I'm out there risking my life to keep you all informed!

Ironwood: Qrow!

Qrow: Communication's a two-way street, pal. *shows his scroll* You see this? That's the send button.

Winter: They had reason to assume you've been compromised.

Qrow: And I have reason to assume you don't need to be here. Seriously, who invited her?

Ironwood: Schnee, we'll discuss this incident back on my ship.

Winter: But, sir...!

Ironwood: Winter, leave.

Winter tries to talk back but she knows he's right. She just salutes.

Winter: Yes, sir.

Winter walks away and glares at Qrow who returned back with a wink and gets inside the elevator.

Y/n: Now, back to the topic.

Qrow: Your little infiltrator isn't just another pawn. They're the ones responsible for Autumn's condition. *takes a gulp*

Glynda: What?!

Y/n: You mean the fall maiden?

Qrow: *chokes* How did you...?

Y/n: Relax. Before I got here, I met her. Didn't know how she only 75% of its power, and now here it is.

Qrow: *sighs* Despite what the world thinks, we're not just teachers or generals or headmasters. The people in this room, the leaders of the other 2 academies, we're the ones that keep the world safe from the evils no one even knows about. 

Qrow gets close to Ironwood.

Qrow: It's why we meet behind closed doors, why we work in the shadows. *angry* So tell me James, when you brought your army to Vale, did you think you were being a discreet or did you just not give a damn?

Ironwood just remained calm and gets his Scroll.

Ironwood: Discreet wasn't working.

He puts the Scroll down and projects the entire Vale, Amit and the army.

Ironwood: I'm here because this is what necessary.

Qrow: You're here because Ozpin wanted you here! He made you a part of this inner circle and opened your eyes  to the real fight that's in front of us.

Ironwood: And I am grateful. 

Y/n: *mutters* That doesn't even sound grateful to me.

Qrow: Oh well, you've got a real funny way of showing it.

Ironwood: The people of Vale needed someone to protect them, someone who would act. When they look to the sky and see my fleet, they feel safe, and our enemies will feel our strength.

Qrow: *laughs hysterically* Y-You think they're scared  of your ships? *calms down* I've been out there and I've seen the things she's made and let me tell you... they are fear.

Ozpin: And fear will bring the Grimm. A guardian is a symbol of comfort. But an army is a symbol of conflict. there's an energy in the air now, a question in the back of everyone's minds: "If this is the size of our defenses, what is it we're expecting to fight?"

Ironwood glares at him and everyone is looking at him.

Y/n: Ironwood, listen to me. What we're trying to say is, bringing your men is fine, but you got to play your cards carefully. Especially since you arrived here before the festival began, they noticed your army. So they're already one step ahead.

Ironwood: What? How do you know?

Y/n: Just like Qrow said, they're goons of her. It means she has other goons that's not on our location but somewhere in the other kingdoms. So that's why I'm doing the one big step for us.

Ironwood sighs and picks his Scroll back.

Ironwood: And what is that?

Meanwhile CEM are inside the room talking.

Cinder: And you're sure?

Mercury: Bad hair, used a scythe, and smelled like my dad after a long day. It was him.

Emerald: What do we do?

Cinder: 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 picks up the tab and she had received a message.

Cinder: Ahh, speaking of which, it appears we have a new access point. 

Emerald: Anywhere good?

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

Emerald: Yes, ma'am.

Mercury: Roger.

The two left the room and Cinder hacked into the randomizer.

Cinder: Let's give crowd a good fight.

_EM vs C__Y

She tapped it but it saw an error.

Cinder: What?

She tapped it even more and when it was the 12th time, it granted access but not before seeing a face of a certain floating head of the Lava Lord in her tab.

Thamuz: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

She dropped it in fear. When she picked it up again, Thamuz is gone and it only has a granted words on her tab.

Cinder: 'What the hell is going on with me?!'

Ozpin's office

They're waiting for him to contact somebody as Y/n is also thinking to himself about the next fight.

Y/n: 'Good thing I personally trained that team to make this match even more entertaining and make Cinder a fool out of herself a little bit for the start'

Y/n calls someone.

Y/n: Come in.

They entered and it was Edelweiss and Neo who has a new look. Neo has a few black and white strands on her hair.

They're shocked to say the least that Roman's goon is on their side.

Ironwood: *raises his gun* Why is she here?!

Neo: *hands up* Whoa, sir easy! I joined his side for a reason! Please, understand what we're about to say sir.

Ironwood slightly lowered and Neo explained her that she would only get killed including Roman as a pawns for the enemy. In other words, she wants freedom, redemption and do the right thing. She didn't asked for forgiveness because she still regretted everything that she's done.

Ironwood slowly lowered his gun completely. 

Ironwood: *sigh* So... What's your plan?

Summer explained the plan.

They descend to the lower depths of the school and entered the vault. When they entered the vault there lies Amber, the Fall Maiden.

Qrow: There she is.

Edelweiss: Everything prepped?

Ozpin: It is.

Y/n: Let's start it.

Y/n closed his eyes and commanded one of the heroes inside him.

Y/n: Alright, do your thing.

A bright orange began to flow out from his body and it floats as an orb and Ozpin is checking her condition. The orb immediately flows through Amber and a bright light radiates her whole body, making everyone to shield their faces from the light.

Amber has her eyes open and orange lilacs glows, her whole body has outlines creating. When it covered her body, she began to break out by reaching out her hand to blast the door. As the whole screen goes white.

Next day

Oobleck: The randomization process is complete! Ladies and gentlemen, your doubles tournament line-up!

Everyone is roaring, Cinder is making a menacing clap.

Meanwhile, Y/n's team is now at the rooftop again with a certain individual to watch the next fight, orchestrated by Cinder and mainly, Y/n.

Y/n: Here we go. 'Coco, Yatsuhashi, show them you're hellish training you went through with me. Cinder is gonna be surprised about this.'
