God it's so good to be back!

Anyways
Let's begin shall we?
_______________________________________

The scene opens to a window overlooking Beacon Academy from the new room of Team RWBY, panning over to Weiss Schnee sleeping soundly in her bed. Her eyes flutter open and she stretches her arms above herself, yawning, while Ruby Rose, dressed in her strangely-coloured school uniform, creeps up on her side and suddenly blows a whistle, causing Weiss to fall off the bed.

Ruby: Good morning, team RWBY!

Weiss: (from the floor) What in the world is wrong with you?

Ruby: (ignoring the question) Now that you're awake, we can officially begin our first order of business.

Weiss: (getting up and brushing herself off) Excuse me?

Yang Xiao Long: (holding a collection of objects - pillows, pamphlets, a candle-holder - in her arms, also dressed alongside Blake Belladonna) Decorating!

Weiss: What?!

Blake: (lifting her suitcase) We still have to unpack. (the suitcase opens, spilling its contents) Aaaand clean.

Weiss does not look enthusiastic, especially when Ruby knocks her back again with the blow of her whistle.

Ruby: Aaaalright! Weiss, Blake, Yang, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission! (raises her fist into the air) Banzai!

Ruby with Blake and Yang: (doing the same at her sides) Banzai! (they turn at an angle as Weiss lays on the floor and upbeat montage music starts playing)

Yang places a poster of six guys in various poses named "THE ACHIEVE MEN" on her part of the room. Weiss positions the painting of the Forever Fall forest to perfection and walks away. Blake is busy putting away her books on the shelves, picking up a copy of Ninjas of Love and widening her eyes as she warily looks around before putting it back. Ruby positions Crescent Rose at an exact angle against the curtains so she can perfectly slash a diagonal portion off. A quick zoom around the room (and the repaired curtains) ends with the girls admiring their handiwork... with one problem. The beds are cramped together in the centre of the floor.

Weiss: This isn't going to work.

Blake: It is a bit cramped.

Yang: Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff...

Ruby: Or we could ditch the beds... and replace them with bunk beds!

Weiss: Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous.

Yang: And super awesome!

Blake: It does seem efficient.

Weiss: Well, we should put it to a vote!

Ruby: I think we just did.

To the sounds of two dings and a single buzz, Blake thumbs up the idea, Yang makes a double-rocker gesture, and Weiss angrily curls her fists at her side. Decided, they rush to the beds, where sounds of jackhammering and sawing are heard until they gather back at the front of the room.

Ruby: Objective: Complete!

While Weiss' bed is simply on the ground next to her art and luggage, Blake's bed is next to her books, which are used to raise Yang's bed over it by placing the novels on the posts, and Ruby's is hanging from ropes on the ceiling with a blanket used as a tent over it.

Ruby: Allllright! Our second order of business iiiiiiiis...! (the room spins until she lands on her bed and a book lands in her lap) Classes... (pulls out a pencil) Now, we have a few classes together today. At 9, we've got to be-

Weiss: What?! Did you say 9 o'clock?

Ruby: Uuuum...

Weiss: It's 8:55, you dunce!

Weiss is the first rushing out of the room and down the hall, the members of RWBY and JNPR peeking out from their doorways to look at her go.

Ruby: (flabbergasted until she decides) To class!

Ruby runs out, followed by Yang, and Blake.

Jaune Arc: Class...?

Jaune loses his balance and ends up toppling Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren on top of him. He manages to get out from under them and start dashing.

Jaune: We're gonna be late!

---transition---

In a Dorm room at the end of the hallway, we see a sleeping Y/n sprawled out in his bed, Hand resting on his chest and the other over his head, half of his body covered by the blanket sheets as one of his legs is hanging off of his bed.

The sound of his scroll beeps as his alarm goes off, which annoyed the boy to a great end. The H/C haired boy reached for his scroll and pressed the button to stop the alarm.

Cut to Y/n brushing his teeth and Drying his air as he gets a notification from his boss for his night shift.

Getting dressed in the beacon school uniform the collar was a tad tight but it wasn't a bother as he heads out for his first day of class and tried to figure out how to escape beacon and return to his normal life and not continue this psychotic nightmare.

---transition---

In the courtyard, Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch watch the two teams hurry through the school. Glynda looks at her watch, and Ozpin simply sips his drink.

Ozpin changes his attention to Y/n although walking and hands in his pockets, the Boy had a tired look in his eyes but continued to his class nevertheless.

Ozpin: (approaches) ah! Mr Vermilion, may I have a quick word with you?

Y/n stopped in his place and headed towards Ozpin. The Boy had a thousand thoughts going through his head and wondered what the headmaster wanted with him.

Y/n: What can I do you for Ozzy?

Ozpin: well due to circumstances beyond my explanation, you haven't had your aura unlocked have you?

The Boy nodded and hums as Ozpin nods to his assistant who approaches and offers her hands.

Glynda: I need your hands for this to unlock your Aura, so let's get this over with alright?

The Reddish-Orange eyed boy holds glynda's hands, as she began to recite the words to activate one's Aura.

Glydna: For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee.

Upon those words the boy felt warmth wash over his body as Glynda staggers a bit as he holds her arm's.

Y/n: Professor goodwitch, are you alright?

Glynda: yes I'm fine, it happens when unlocking one's Aura. Now head to class before you get detention on your first day.

Y/n then nods and sprints off as Ozpin and Glynda watch the boy take a right turn around a corner. Glynda looks at her hands seeing her palms having slight burnt marks and looks at Ozpin frowning.

Glynda: it's like I grabbed onto solid Fire.

Ozpin: solid Fire you say? Y/n is full of surprises... (Sips coffee) keep an eye on him, and don't tell Ironwood about this. Now then, let's get those hands of yours treated now shall we?

Ozpin and Glynda headed off to the infirmary to treat glynda's hands

---transition---

The sight of an axe-blunderbuss weapon pans down to the boards displaying various species of Grimm - King Taijitu, Death Stalker, Beowolf, Boarbatusk, Nevermore, and Ursa - behind an elderly teacher named Peter Port.

Port: Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!

The members of RWBY and alongside Y/n, seated on the front row, are in varying stages of interest; Blake and Yang are sitting up and paying attention, Weiss is taking notes, Y/n was playing Dragon Ball Legends on his scroll and Ruby has head propped in her hand as she takes a quick nap until she is woken back up by Port's bad joke, which receives a cricket-filled silence as a result.

Port: Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses... (gives Yang a wink, which she groans uncomfortably at) Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!

Student: (raises his fist) Ayyyy-yep! (stands like this for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely before sitting down, embarrassed)

Port: That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man... Me! When I was a boy...

His words fade into the background (and a series of "blah"s) when Weiss notices Ruby is very focused on penciling the paper in front of her as Y/n watches her doodle.

Port: ...Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. 'Peter', he told me...

The speech evolves into more "blah"s as Ruby chuckles at her creation and shows it to her teammates and then Y/n: a ball-with-limbs-and-a-head drawing of the teacher with stink lines coming from him and "Professor Poop" written underneath. Ruby blows a quick raspberry. Blake and Yang laugh as Y/n snorts a held back laugh, but Weiss looks annoyed.

Port: Ah-heh-hem! (he waits until he has their attention again) In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!

The teacher takes a bow as Weiss slowly gets more and more frustrated with Ruby's and Y/n antics.

Port: The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable!

Ruby is balancing an apple on a book with her pencil held only by her finger while making a silly face as Y/n pokes her cheek causing her to lose balance of the items on her fingers as she squeaks before glaring at Y/n. Who whistles to himself as if he was responsible for what he did.

Port: A true Huntsman must be dependable!

Ruby has fallen asleep again in the first class of the year as the Boy was about to collapse into unconsciousness out of sheer boredom.

Port: A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!

Ruby and Y/n are seen arm wrestling which Ruby immediately wins and Y/n handing her some lien, much to Weiss' building anger.

Port: So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?

Weiss: (still angry, she raises her hand) I do, sir!

Port: Well, then, let's find out! (he turns to gesture at the glowing red eyes surrounded by shadow shaking the cage that traps it) Step forward, and face your opponent!

The unknown monster continues to growls in it's prison.

---transition---

Weiss Schnee, now back in her regular attire, readying her Myrtenaster at the growling creature in the cage barely seen in is it's cage. Her teammates and Y/n cheer her on from their seats in the front row.

Yang Xiao Long: (raising her fist) Goooo, Weiss!

Blake Belladonna: (waving a small flag saying "RWBY") Fight well!

Ruby Rose : Yeah, represent Teeeeam RWBY!

Y/n: show it who's boss Ice Queen!

Weiss is then lowering her sword and looking over at her "leader" and Y/n

Weiss: Shut up you two! I'm trying to focus!

Ruby: (looking sheepish) Oh, um... Sorry...

Y/n: Geez, just trying to be supportive.

Port: Allllright! (next to the cage, pulling out Blowhard) Let the match... begin!

The professor swings down and breaks the lock, dropping the cage door and revealing the Boarbatusk inside, which immediately charges at Weiss. She uses Myrtenaster to deflect its attack and roll to the side, readying herself for its next move. The Grimm stands a distance away from its enemy, studying her.

Port: Ha-ha! Wasn't expecting that, were you?

Ruby: Hang in there, Weiss!

Weiss is now speeding towards the oncoming Boarbatusk, sticking her blade straight at its skull until they meet and Myrtenaster is trapped in the beast's tusks. Weiss is still hanging on to the hilt, and is tossed around as she struggles to get the rapier back.

Port: Bold, new approach. I like it!

Ruby: Come on, Weiss, show it who's boss!

Weiss turns to glare at Y/n, only for the Boarbatusk to turn its head and rip the sword from her grip. Myrtenaster lands far away from its master, who is knocked back by the creature's tusks.

Port: Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?

Weiss looks up just in time to see the Boarbatusk charge again, rolling out of the way just in time to avoid getting trampled and make it crash into a desk. Weiss rushes at her sword and slides to get it back in her hand as Y/n shouts out to her.

Y/n: Weiss! Go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-

Weiss: (turning to Y/n) Stop telling me what to do!

Ruby looks hurt at Weiss' rebuttal to Y/n. Meanwhile, the Boarbatusk leaps into the air and rolls into a ball, spinning rapidly in the air and landing on the ground, consistently gaining speed until it launches itself at Weiss. It comes closer and closer, but Weiss activates one of her blue-white circles and blocks the roll, leaping up into the now-black snowflake symbol and turning it blue again so she can drive the blade into the Boarbatusk's stomach. It squeals and falls silent while Weiss gasps in relief.

Port: Bravo! Bra-vo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress-in-training!

as Weiss stands up at attention from her exhausted position and Ruby continues to frown

Port: I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and... stay vigilant! Class dismissed!

Weiss glares and turns away, walking hurriedly to the exit past her teammates.

Jaune Arc: (to Y/n) Sheesh, what's with her?

Y/n: I have no idea? I don't read schnee, they don't come with a manual.

The remaining members of Team RWBY look at each other with the same question.

---transition---

Weiss is still storming off, but Ruby turns a corner and manages to catch up with her.

Ruby: Weiss!

Weiss: (turning around) What?

Ruby: What's wrong with you? Why are you being-?

Weiss: What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be a leader, and all you've been so far is a nuisance!

Ruby: (scoffs) What did I do?

Weiss: That's just it - you've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest, you acted like a child, and you've only continued to do so!

Ruby: Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about 'working together'? I thought you believed in acting as a team.

Weiss: Not a team led by you. I've studied and trained. And quite frankly, I deserve better.

Weiss then turns her back to Ruby, trying to reach out but dropping her hand with the following words

Weiss: Ozpin made a mistake. (walks away as Ruby looks dejected)

Y/n standing right behind a surprised Ruby with his bag in one hand and the other now scratching his cheek.

Y/n: Uhm... Now that didn't seem to go very well.

Ruby: (looking doubtful, even on the verge of tears) Is she right? Did Ozpin make a mistake?

Y/n: (nervously laughs) That remains to be seen.

---transition---

Weiss is still walking around the halls until she comes across a balcony where Professor Port is watching the sunset over Beacon Academy's rooftops.

Weiss: (approaching him) Professor Port!

Port: (turning to look at her) Ah, Miss Schnee! And to what do I owe this fine pleasure?

Weiss: I... I enjoyed your lecture!

Port: Of course you did, child; you have the blood of a true Huntress in you.

Weiss: (smiling) You really think so?

Port: Most surely.

port notices Weiss' small frown and lack of eye contact.

Port: Hmm... Something's troubling you.

Weiss: Yes, sir...

Port: Dear girl, confess to me your strife!

Weiss: Well... I-I think I should have been the leader of Team RWBY!

Port: (silent for a moment until he speaks) That's preposterous!

---transition---

Ruby: What do you mean?

Y/n: Uh... I mean, it's only been one day. Ruby... There are some people who made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment, I would not consider Ozpin choosing you to be a leader a mistake.

Y/n leans in as he ruffles the silver eyed girls head.

Y/n: Do you think it's a mistake?

---transition---

Weiss: (now getting angry) Excuse me?!

Port: I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray!

Weiss: So you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?

Port: With all due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude.

Weiss: (seething now) How dare you!

Port: My point exactly. I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted.

Weiss is seen crossing her arms, looking defiant.

Weiss: That's not even remotely true!

under the teacher's gaze, she reluctantly relents.

Weiss: Well... not entirely true.

---transition---

Y/n: Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?

Ruby looks thoughtful with Y/m's words, then smiles at him as he returns a smile of his own.

---transition---

Y/n turning back on Ruby, still talking to her.

Y/n: people have been burdened with so many daunting responsibilities, so Ruby. I advise you take some time, to think about how you will uphold it.

Ruby, with a last look of consideration, turns and walks away. She comes to the balcony where Port is walking away from Weiss and smiles a little at her partner.

---transition---

Y/n is now walking back to his dorm but hears Ozpin voice behind him scaring him.

Ozpin: I have heard few people say such words. Where did this come from, if I may ask?

Y/n: it came from nowhere... I think, but I was only helping a friend out.

Ozpin doesn't reply, but hums before walking past The Flaming eyed coloured Boy as he watches the headmaster leave before stopping.

Ozpin: Y/n, you have a unique Strength, it has it's weird ways of appearing.

Y/n: (confused) really?

Ozpin: of course! Your strength can manifest into words or action's.

The boy although confused, accepted his answer but needed to answer one last question.

Y/n: why did you... (Clears throat) why did you transfer me to this school?

Ozpin turns to the boy and smiles as he approaches him as he adjusts his glasses.

Ozpin: deep inside, I see a Boy who was shouting to be taken out of his boring lifestyle and wanted to go on a crazy adventure.

Y/n: huh? I don't follow.

Ozpin lightly chuckles before clarifying.

Ozpin: you think you want to live a normal life as a nobody, but deep inside everyone wants an adventure. So in other words, deep inside yourself. You actually wanted to be a somebody, you just haven't realised it yet.

And with that Ozpin puts his glasses back on and walks away as the boy looks ten times confused at not what Ozpin said but at himself

Y/n: (thinking) ๐‘ซ๐’†๐’†๐’‘ ๐’Š๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’…๐’†... ๐‘ฐ ๐’˜๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’†๐’… ๐’•๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’‚ ๐’”๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’ƒ๐’๐’…๐’š ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’๐’๐’• ๐’‚ ๐’๐’๐’ƒ๐’๐’…๐’š, ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’…๐’๐’†๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’Ž๐’†๐’‚๐’?

Y/n would stand there for a few minutes before retreating to his dorm to turn in for the night.

---transition---

The full moon shines over the green lights of Beacon, and in the room of Team RWBY, the door opens and Weiss' shadow is seen against the hall's light. Blake is sleeping under the covers, Yang is spread out on her bed and snoring, and when Weiss lifts the blanket of Ruby's tent, she finds the occupant with her head resting on notes, a pencil in her hand, and open books all around her. Weiss, looking amazed at Ruby's determination, clears her throat and gently shakes the other girl awake, who takes a second to regain consciousness and start flailing in surprise.'

Ruby: Weiss! I-I was studying, and then I fell asleep! I'm sorry...

Weiss places a hand over Ruby's mouth and puts a finger to her own so Ruby understands the need for lowering her voice. Weiss looks near Ruby's pillow and spots an empty Beacon coffee mug.

Weiss: (lowering her hand) How do you take your coffee?

Ruby: I... I don't...

Weiss: (getting irritated) Answer the question!

Ruby: Uhh, cream and five sugars!

Weiss: (sighs) Don't move. (she ducks under to her own bed and comes up a moment later with a fresh cup, offering it to Ruby) Here.

Ruby: Um... Thanks, Weiss.

Weiss: (smiles, then looks apologetic) Ruby, I think you have what it takes to be a good leader. (Ruby smiles appreciatively) Just know that I am going to be the best teammate you'll ever have! So good luck studying!

they share a smile as Weiss ducks under, only to come up and point at one of Ruby's papers

Weiss: That's wrong, by the way.

Weiss then ducks under again, and her voice comes from the doorway this time

Weiss: Hey, Ruby?

Ruby: Uh-huh?

Weiss stands in the door with her hand on the knob.

Weiss: I always wanted bunk beds as a kid.

Weiss then starts to close the door, Ruby, grinning at the progress with her friend, goes back to her notes as scene fades to black and the credits roll.

Ooo~ what does Ozpin meant by what he said that Y/n rather wants to be a somebody but not a nobody?

Anyways hope you enjoyed this chapter!
